Required Contract Clauses

所有合同中唯一需要的条款是正确识别学院:

The College shall be identified as The Trustees of Smith College in all agreements and contracts. 部门和个人不得代表学院以自己的名义签订合同, but must identify the College as the contracting party. (该部门可在协议中指明为订立合同的办公室.) The official College address is Smith College, Northampton, MA 01063 in all contracts and agreements.

There are no other clauses that are required in all contracts; every contract is unique. 然而，在大多数合同中，有一些条款是必需的.

The Equal Opportunity Clause 任何超过10,000美元的转包合同都必须包含禁止就业歧视的条款.

The Electronic and Information Technology (EIT) Clause (see ABC Contract Clauses)，确保无障碍标准和法规必须包括在任何涉及购买或采购电子商务设备的合同或招标书中.

学院还需要赔偿协议和保险条款(见 ABC Contract Clauses).赔偿条款规定了另一个实体对学院的任何行为负责的法律基础，该实体向学院提出索赔. The insurance clause, or the insurance in place because of this requirement, 提供某种保证，保证实体将有财力来履行其赔偿义务, if any should arise. 只有在风险管理人或其他法律顾问审查后，才能对条款进行修改.

这一标准最常见的例外是:1)邀请演讲者;2)与个人奖学金活动直接相关的小型专业服务, such as hiring a book editor, indexer, translation or transcription services, analysis services, requisition of instruments or equipment, 或者对仪器或设备进行小型的即时维修，雇用这些服务的人通过他/她的拨款有预算权力, research accounts, or faculty fellowship. However, 如果要维修或服务的设备是在校园内的，并且工作有潜在的危险，则应使用赔偿协议和保险. 如果缔约方有任何疑问，应咨询风险经理.

“平等机会条款”或“行政命令条款”是第11246号行政命令规定的, the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Act, 以及康复法案(OFCCP法规)，因为澳门葡京博彩软件是联邦承包商. The EO Clause reads:

“承包商和分包商应遵守41 CFR 60-1的要求.4(a), 41 CFR 60-300.5(a), and 41 CFR 60-741.5(a). 这些条例禁止基于种族歧视符合条件的个人, color, religion, sex, national origin, veteran status, or disability, 并要求受保护的主承包商和分包商采取平权行动，雇用和提升合格的少数民族和女性, qualified protected veterans, and qualified individuals with disabilities.”

根据大学政策，任何超过1万美元的“转包合同”都必须包含EO条款. If a contractor strongly objects to the EO Clause, the Smith contract manager, working with the Office of Compliance and Risk Management, 是否同意评估该合同是否属于联邦法规下的“适用合同”，以确定是否可以将“行政命令条款”排除在合同之外. 这是一项事实密集的调查，必须在逐个合同的基础上进行评估, often with college counsel, 特别强调理解有争议的合同是否对学院持有的联邦合同的“履行所必需”. 关于分包合同是否为联邦合同“履行所必需”的问题，行政法法官和法院一直在讨论, 但从这些决定中没有出现明确的测试或其他指导.

A “subcontract,” under the OFCCP regulations, 被定义为:“承包商与任何人之间的任何协议或安排(其中双方不属于雇主和雇员的关系):(1)关于购买, 出售或使用个人财产或非个人服务, in whole or in part, is necessary to the performance of any one or more [of the federal] contracts [held by the college]; or (2) under which any portion of the contractor’s obligation under any one or more [federal] contracts is performed, undertaken or assumed. 41 C.F.R § 60-1.3 (emphasis and language in brackets added). (The term “nonpersonal services” includes, but is not limited to, the following services: “utilities, construction, transportation, research, insurance, and fund depository.”).

Accordingly, under the regulations, the size of the subcontract (in excess of $10,000), the nature of the contract (i.e.,” purchase, sale or use of personal property or nonpersonal services”), 以及分包合同与联邦合同之间的关系(1).e., 在评估合同是否为“分包合同”时，都要考虑“履行任何联邦合同所必需的”.”

请注意:根据规定，采购订单是一种合同形式. 因此，所有超过10,000美元的采购订单都必须包含执行命令条款.

OFCCP规定只要求联邦承包商(在这种情况下), Smith) include the EO Clause in its subcontracts. 澳门葡京博彩软件不需要核实其分包商是否遵守了他们的平权行动义务.

OFCCP通过定期审查和合规性评估来审查承包商的合规性. As part of its audit, OFCCP经常要求雇主提供文件证明其分包合同中包含了eoc条款. In any audit, OFCCP’s emphasis, of course, is more on the outreach, hiring, and other employment data. 然而，行政令条款是承包商平权行动义务的重要组成部分. OFCCP最近更新了3月24日生效的法规中EO条款要求的某些方面, 2014, 承包商应该预料到OFCCP会在任何审计中询问此事.
