This policy prohibits discrimination by the City's contractors, consultants and vendors and requires them to ensure that applicants seeking employment with them and their employees are treated equally without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, marital status, and age. It is the City's intention to assist employers, who are City contractors, vendors or consultants, in designing and implementing equal employment opportunity so that all citizens will be afforded equal accessibility and opportunity to gain and maintain employment. PROVISIONS: 1. All contractors, vendors, and consultants requesting to do business with the City must submit an Equal Opportunity Policy Statement before the execution of the contract. 2. All City contractors, vendors, and consultants with contracts of $25,000 or more (or less if required by another governmental agency) must abide by the requirements of the City's Contract Compliance Program. Emergency contracts may be exempt from this provision at the discretion of the City. Regardless of the value of the contract, all contractors, vendors, and consultants are subject to the City's Human Rights Ordinance, which is codified at Article 2 of the City Code. 3. Contracting departments are responsible for assuring that City contractors, vendors, and consultants are made aware of the City's Contract Compliance Program reporting responsibilities and receive the appropriate reporting forms. A notification of requirements will be included in any request for proposal and notice of bids. 4. Prior to execution of the contract, the completed and signed Assurance of Compliance (located on pages CC -2 and CC -3) or other required material must be received and approved by the City. 5. Contracting departments are responsible for answering questions about contractor, consultant and vendor compliance during the course of the contract with the City. 6. All contractors, vendors, and consultants must refrain from the use of any signs or designations which are sexist in nature, such as those which state "Men Working" or "Flagman Ahead," and instead use gender neutral signs. 7. All contractor's, vendors, and consultants must assure that their subcontractors abide by the City's Human Rights Ordinance. The City's protected classes are listed at Iowa City City Code section 2-3-1. U y fV CC -1 SECTION II - ASSURANCE OF COMPLIANCE The following sets forth the minimum requirements of a satisfactory Equal Employment Opportunity Program which will be reviewed for acceptability. PLEASE RETURN PAGES CC2 AND CC3 OF THIS SECTION TO THE CONTRACTING DEPARTMENT PRIOR TO THE EXECUTION OF THE CONTRACT. With respect to the performance of this contract, the contractor, consultant or vendor agrees as follows: (For the purposes of these minimum requirements, "contractor" shall include consultants and vendors.) a. The contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment and will take affirmative efforts to ensure applicants and employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, marital status, and age. Such efforts shall include, but not be limited to the following: employment, promotion, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. b. The contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of the contractor, state that it is an equal opportunity employer. Note: Contracts that are federally funded are subject to Executive Order No. 11246, as amended, and the regulations (see generally 29 U.S.C. § 1608 et sec.) and relevant orders of the U.S. Secretary of Labor. The Secretary of Labor, and not the City, enforces said regulations and orders. 3. Provide a copy of your written Equal Employment Opportunity policy statement. Where is this statement posted? 4. What is the name, telephone number and address of your business' Equal Employment Opportunity Officer? (Please print) Phone number Address 5. The undersigned agrees to display, in conspicuous places at the work site, all posters required by federal and state law for the duration of the contract. NOTE: The City can provide assistance in obtaining the necessary posters. CC -2 6. How does your business currently inform applicants, employees, and recruitment sources (including unions) that you are an Equal Employment Opportunity employer? The above responses to questions 1 through 6, are true and correctly reflect our Equal Employment Opportunity policies. Business Name Signature Print Name Phone Number Title Date CC -3 SECTION III - SUGGESTED STEPS TO ASSURE EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES COMPANY POLICY Determine your company's policy regarding equal employment opportunities. Document the policy and post it in a conspicuous place so that it is known to all your employees. Furthermore, disseminate the policy to all potential sources of employees and to your subcontractors asking their cooperation. The policy statement should recognize and accept your responsibility to provide equal employment opportunity in all your employment practices. In regard to dissemination of this policy, this can be done, for example, through the use of letters to all recruitment sources and subcontractors, personal contacts, employee meetings, web page postings, employee handbooks, and advertising. 2. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY OFFICER Designate an equal employment opportunity officer or, at minimum, assign someone the responsibility of administering and promoting your company's Equal Employment Opportunity program. This Person should have a position in your organization which emphasizes the importance of the program: C- Y 3. INSTRUCT STAFF - - j Your staff should be aware of and be required to abide by your Equal Employment Opportunity.prograkj. All employees authorized to hire, supervise, promote, or discharge employees or are involved in such actions should be trained and required to comply with your policy and the current equal ernploymer4t.lopportunity laws. ;� N 4. RECRUITMENT (a) Let potential employees know you are an equal opportunity employer. This can be done by identifying yourself on all recruitment advertising as "an equal opportunity employer". (b) Use recruitment sources that are likely to yield diverse applicant pools. Word-of-mouth recruitment will only perpetuate the current composition of your workforce. Send recruitment sources a letter annually which reaffirms your commitment to equal employment opportunity and requests their assistance in helping you reach diverse applicant pools. (c) Analyze and review your company's recruitment procedures to identify and eliminate discriminatory barriers. (d) Select and train persons involved in the employment process to use objective standards and to support equal employment opportunity goals. (e) Review periodically job descriptions to make sure they accurately reflect major job functions. Review education and experience requirements to make sure they accurately reflect the requirements for successful job performance. (f) Review the job application to insure that only job related questions are asked. Ask yourself "Is this information necessary to judge an applicant's ability to perform the job applied for?" Only use job-related tests which do not adversely affect any particular group of people. (g) Monitor interviews carefully. Prepare interview questions in advance to assure that they are only job related. Train your interviewers on discrimination laws. Biased and subjective judgments in personal interviews can be a major source of discrimination. (h) Improve hiring and selection procedures and use non -biased promotion, transfer and training policies to increase and/or improve the diversity of your workforce representation. Companies must make sure procedures for selecting candidates for promotion, transfer and training are based upon a fair assessment of an employee's ability and work record. Furthermore, all companies should post and otherwise publicize all job promotional opportunities and encourage all qualified employees to bid on them. CC -4 Attached for your information is a copy of Section 2 — 3 —1 of the Iowa City Code of Ordinances which prohibits certain discriminatory practices in employment. Please note that the protected characteristics include some not mandated for protection by Federal or State law. As a contractor, consultant or vendor doing business with the City of Iowa City you are required to abide by the provisions of the local ordinance in conjunction with your performance under a contract with the City.

General -? i I. Upon completion of a newly installed water main or when repairs to an existing ' water system are made, the main shall be disinfected according - to instrugtionss, listed in ANSI/AWWA C651 and the following specifications. y B. Special Disinfection Requirements Exercise cleanliness during construction. Protect pipe interiors, fittings and valves against contamination. 2. Water main 16 -inch and larger in diameter must be swabbed with a soft pig prior to flushing if flow in the system is not adequate to maintain scouring velocity (2 fps) during flushing. 3. The minimum uniform concentration of available chlorine used for disinfection shall be 50 mg/L. Use either the granulated/tablet or continuous feed method with modifications as described in 3.11 C or D below. 02660-12 4. The chlorinated water shall be retained in the main at least 24 hours, during which time all valves and hydrants in the section treated shall be operated in order to disinfect the appurtenances. At the end of this 24 hour period, the treated water shall contain no less than 25 mg/L chlorine throughout the length of main. 5. After the retention period, flush the heavily chlorinated water from the main until the chlorine concentration in the water leaving the main is no higher than 3 mg/L and the water appears clean. Flush at a minimum velocity of 2.5 feet per second in the main through an opening not less than '/4 of the main diameter. For 6 -inch through 12 -inch water mains, a single 2'h -inch fire hydrant opening is adequate. Water entering storm sewer system shall be dechlorinated by a method approved by the Engineer to prevent downstream environmental damage (i.e. fish kills). Collect a bacterial sample from the end of each line or 800-1,000 feet and deliver the sample to the University Hygienic Laboratory at Oakdale for analysis. Allow approximately 5 days for the results. If the bacterial sample shows the absence of coliform organisms, the hydrostatic test may proceed. C. Tablet Method of Chlorine Application Use ANSVAWWA C651, however slowly fill the main (less than 1 cubic foot per second) with system water, pushing out as much air as possible. Do not wash out the tablets. D. Continuous Feed Method of Chlorine Application Prior to applying chlorine, do a preliminary flush at a minimum velocity of 2.5 feet per second in the main through an opening not less than not less than '/4 of the main diameter. For 6 -inch through 12 -inch water mains, a single 2'/z -inch fire hydrant opening is adequate. 2. Add the water and chlorine solution with the required concentration to fill the main completely. 3.12 TESTING. A. Filling the water main: 1. Fill the newly constructed water main system slowly using treated publicEwater.� under low pressure and low flow. The objective is to displace air with water -while avoiding damage to new construction, customer services, and adjoining pr'overry due to the release of air and water. Public Works staff must be on site to assist with operation of the system valves and hydrants during this operation. 2. Open one hydrant (completely) at the end of the main or at a high point on the main which is to be filled. Open a filling valve (the smallest one available) slightly. Allow the water main to fill and slowly release the air. When the main being filled has released nearly all air, surging should diminish and water released from the hydrant should flow in a steady stream. Monitor and control the released water to minimize damage. 02660-13 3. After a few minutes of steady state operation, open all other valves slowly and then open the initial fill valve completely, while regulating the flow hydrant to minimize damage. When the main has been filled, open and close all hydrants sequentially to force fresh water progressively through each section (new and old) of water main which was shut down to replace fresh water into each section. 4. After clear water and a fresh chlorine odor are observed at each hydrant, shut down hydrant flow slowly and allow water flow to cease and internal pressure to stabilize. Then, each water service connection shall be tested at a sill cock and observed by the Contractor to verify adequate pressure and flow. B. Pressure and Leakage Tests: 1. Conduct combined pressure and leakage test in accordance with ANSUAWWA C600. 2. Pressure test off the hydrants or furnish and install temporary testing plugs or caps. Furnish pressure pumps, pipe connections, meters, gauges, equipment, potable water and labor. Use only potable water for testing. 3. Test after disinfection operations are successfully completed. If testing operations require reconstruction or repairs during which the interior of the pipe is exposed to contamination, disinfection will be required again. 4. Keep the water main full of water for 24 hours before conducting combined pressure and leakage test. 5. Pressure and leakage test consists of first raising water pressure at the lowest point of section being tested to 150 psi internal pressure. 6. Failure to achieve and maintain the specified pressure for two hours with no additional pumping means the water main has failed to pass the test. 7. If the water main fails the pressure and leakage test, locate, uncover, and repair or replace defective pipe, fitting or joints. Conduct additional tests apd repairs until water main passes the test. -- _ C. Valve Operations: 1. All valves shall be located and tested to verify operation. Remove the valve box lid, insert the valve key and open and close each valve. Count the turns :and jeoord-.i the results. y — cn D. Hydrant Operations: After the hydrant has been installed and the main and hydrant have been pressure tested, each hydrant shall be flushed and checked for proper operation. 2. Remove a nozzle cap and open the hydrant slowly and fully. Check the direction of opening as marked on the top. Do not force the hydrant in the opening direction beyond full open as indicated by sudden resistance to turning. 02660-14 3. After hydrant has been flushed, close it and check for drainage. This is done by placing the hand over the nozzle opening and checking for a vacuum. Then check the hose thread for proper fit. 4. Replace nozzle cap, then open hydrant again and inspect all joints for leaks. E. Flow Test: 1. Flow tests shall be conducted to verify all components of the water system are fully open and operational and to determine the fire flow capacity. 2. Public Works staff personnel must be on the site to operate the system valves and hydrants during this test. 3. A hydrant flow test shall be conducted on the hydrant at the extreme locations for distance or highest elevation to determine the fire flow capability of the system. Static and flowing pressures and flow rates shall be recorded, and a copy forwarded to the Water Division. 02660-15 - I I � C7 D -- u 02660-15 Accepted Products for Water Distribution Materials WATER PIPE: (Ductile) ANSI/AWWA — A21.51/C151 American, Clow, Griffin, McWane, Tyler, and US Pipe Class 52 for direct bury piping unless other wise indicated or specified.
