If a contractor with the county has at any time during the term of the contract failed to maintain the minority or women employment levels and minority-owned business and women-owned business enterprise subcontractor percentages pursuant to this division and also failed to show a good faith effort to maintain such levels and percentages, the compliance officer shall, upon receiving knowledge of such noncompliance, note the noncompliance and report it to the contractor, contract project manager, the contractor's surety and the minority/women advisory committee.
