Federal Financial Assistance Agreement Assurance (49 CFR 26.13) Each agreement SUB-RECIPIENT signs with Caltrans must include the following assurance: The SUB-RECIPIENT shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the award and performance of any DOT-assisted contract, or in the administration of its DBE Program, or the requirements of 49-CFR 26. The SUB-RECIPIENT shall take all necessary and reasonable steps under 49 CFR 26 to ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts. The SUB-RECIPIENT's DBE Program, as required by 49 CFR 26 and as approved by DOT, is incorporated by reference in this agreement. Implementation of this program is a legal obligation and failure to carry out its terms shall be treated as a violation of this agreement. Upon notification to the SUB-RECIPIENT of its failure to carry out its approved program, Caltrans may impose sanctions as provided for under 49 CFR 26 and may, in appropriate cases, refer the matter for enforcement under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986 (31 U.S.C. 3801 et seq.).
