pertaining to this Agreement and records of accounts between the City and Contractor must be
kept on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and must be made available to the
City and its auditors for up to three years following the City’s final acceptance of the services under

including data used to negotiate this Agreement and any amendments. The City reserves the right
to decrease the total amount of Agreement price or payments made under this Agreement or
request reimbursement from the Contractor following final contract payment on this Agreement if,
upon audit of the Contractor's records, the audit discloses the Contractor has provided false,
misleading, or inaccurate cost and pricing data. The Contractor will include a similar provision in all

that the City, its authorized representative, or the appropriate federal agency, has access to the
subcontractors’ records to verify the accuracy of all cost and pricing data. The City reserves the right

Page 3 of 96
to decrease Contract price or payments made on this Agreement or request reimbursement from

subcontractor agreements, and one or more subcontractors refuse to allow the City to audit their
records to verify the accuracy and appropriateness of all cost and pricing data. If, following an audit
of this Agreement, the audit discloses the Contractor has provided false, misleading, or inaccurate
cost and pricing data, and the cost discrepancies exceed 1% of the total Agreement billings, the
Contractor will be liable for reimbursement of the reasonable, actual cost of the audit.
5.2 Alteration in Character of Work. Whenever an alteration in the character of work results in a
substantial change in this Agreement, thereby materially increasing or decreasing the scope of
services, cost of performance, or Project schedule, the work will be performed as directed by the
City. However, before any modified work is started, a written amendment must be approved and
executed by the City and the Contractor. Such amendment must not be effective until approved by
the City. Additions to, modifications, or deletions from this Agreement as provided herein may be
made, and the compensation to be paid to the Contractor may accordingly be adjusted by mutual
agreement of the Parties. It is distinctly understood and agreed that no claim for extra work done
or materials furnished by the Contractor will be allowed by the City except as provided herein, nor
must the Contractor do any work or furnish any materials not covered by this Agreement unless
such work is first authorized in writing. Any such work or materials furnished by the Contractor
without prior written authorization will be at Contractor's own risk, cost, and expense, and
Contractor hereby agrees that without written authorization Contractor will make no claim for
compensation for such work or materials furnished.
5.3 Termination for Convenience. The City and the Contractor hereby agree to the full
performance of the covenants contained herein, except that the City reserves the right, at its
discretion and without cause, to terminate or abandon any service provided for in this
Agreement, or abandon any portion of the Project for which services have been performed by
the Contractor. In the event the City abandons or suspends the services, or any part of the
services as provided in this Agreement, the City will notify the Contractor in writing and
immediately after receiving such notice, the Contractor must discontinue advancing the work
specified under this Agreement. Upon such termination, abandonment, or suspension, the
Contractor must deliver to the City all drawings, plans, specifications, special provisions,
estimates and other work entirely or partially completed, together with all unused materials
supplied by the City. The Contractor must appraise the work Contractor has completed and
submit Contractor's appraisal to the City for evaluation. The City may inspect the Contractor's
work to appraise the work completed. The Contractor will receive compensation in full for
services performed to the date of such termination. The fee shall be paid in accordance with
Section IV of this Agreement, and as mutually agreed upon by the Contractor and the City. If
there is no mutual agreement on payment, the final determination will be made in accordance
with the Disputes provision in this Agreement. However, in no event may the payment exceed
the payment set forth in this Agreement nor as amended in accordance with Alteration in
Character of Work. The City will make the final payment within 60 days after the Contractor has
delivered the last of the partially completed items and the Parties agree on the final payment.
If the City is found to have improperly terminated the Agreement for cause or default, the
termination will be converted to a termination for convenience in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement.

has been so terminated by City, the termination will not affect any rights of City against Contractor
then existing or which may thereafter accrue.
5.5 Indemnification. The Contractor (lndemnitor) must indemnify, defend, save and hold
harmless the City and its officers, officials, agents and employees (lndemnitee) from any and
all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, losses or expenses (including court costs, attorneys' fees
and costs of claim processing, investigation and litigation) (Claims) caused or alleged to be
caused, in whole or in part, by the wrongful, negligent or willful acts, or errors or omissions of
the Contractor or any of its owners, officers, directors, agents, employees, or subcontractors in
connection with this Agreement. This indemnity includes any claim or amount arising out of or
recovered under workers' compensation law or on account of the failure of the Contractor to
conform to any federal, state or local law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or court decree.
The Contractor must indemnify lndemnitee from and against any and all Claims, except those
arising solely from lndemnitee's own negligent or willful acts or omissions. The Contractor is
responsible for primary loss investigation, defense and judgment costs where this
indemnification applies. In consideration of the award of this Agreement, the Contractor agrees
to waive all rights of subrogation against lndemnitee for losses arising from or related to this
Agreement. The obligations of the Contractor under this provision survive the termination or
expiration of this Agreement.
5.6 Insurance Requirements. Contractor must procure insurance under the terms and
conditions and for the amounts of coverage set forth in Exhibit C against claims that may arise
from or relate to performance of the work under this Agreement by Contractor and its agents,
representatives, employees, and subcontractors. Contractor and any subcontractors must
maintain this insurance until all of their obligations have been discharged, including any
warranty periods under this Agreement. These insurance requirements are minimum
requirements for this Agreement and in no way limit the indemnity covenants contained in this
Agreement. The City in no way warrants that the minimum limits stated in Exhibit C are
sufficient to protect the Contractor from liabilities that might arise out of the performance of
the work under this Agreement by the Contractor, the Contractor’s agents, representatives,
employees, or subcontractors. Contractor is free to purchase such additional insurance as may
be determined necessary.
5.7 Cooperation and Further Documentation. The Contractor agrees to provide the City such
other duly executed documents as may be reasonably requested by the City to implement the

the completeness and accuracy of Contractor's services, data, and other work prepared or
compiled under Contractor's obligation under this Agreement and must correct, at Contractor's
expense, all willful or negligent errors, omissions, or acts that may be discovered. The fact that
the City has accepted or approved the Contractor's work will in no way relieve the Contractor
of any of Contractor's responsibilities.
5.12 Withholding Payment. The City reserves the right to withhold funds from the Contractor's
payments up to the amount equal to the claims the City may have against the Contractor until
such time that a settlement on those claims has been reached.

cancellation by the City under the provisions of Section 38-511, Arizona Revised Statutes
(A.R.S.).

contractor. Any provisions in this Agreement that may appear to give the City the right to direct

over the work means that the Contractor must follow the wishes of the City as to the results of
the work only. These results must comply with all applicable laws and ordinances.
5.15 Project Staffing. Prior to the start of any work under this Agreement, the Contractor must
assign to the City the key personnel that will be involved in performing services prescribed in
DocuSign Envelope ID: 967AB005-65D4-4F46-9DB8-A7832336B56D
Page 6 of 96
the Agreement. The City may acknowledge its acceptance of such personnel to perform
services under this Agreement. At any time hereafter that the Contractor desires to change key
personnel while performing under the Agreement, the Contractor must submit the
qualifications of the new personnel to the City for prior approval. The Contractor will maintain
an adequate and competent staff of qualified persons, as may be determined by the City,
throughout the performance of this Agreement to ensure acceptable and timely completion of
the Scope of Services. If the City objects, with reasonable cause, to any of the Contractor's staff,
the Contractor must take prompt corrective action acceptable to the City and, if required,
remove such personnel from the Project and replace with new personnel agreed to by the City.
5.16 Subcontractors. Prior to beginning the work, the Contractor must furnish the City for
approval the names of subcontractors to be used under this Agreement. Any subsequent
changes are subject to the City’s written prior approval.
5.17 Force Majeure. If either party is delayed or prevented from the performance of any act
required under this Agreement by reason of acts of God or other cause beyond the control and
without fault of the Party (financial inability excepted), performance of that act may be excused,
but only for the period of the delay, if the Party provides written notice to the other Party within
ten days of such act. The time for performance of the act may be extended for a period
equivalent to the period of delay from the date written notice is received by the other Party.
5.18 Compliance with Laws. Contractor understands, acknowledges, and agrees to comply with
the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and the
Drug Free Workplace Act of 1989. All services performed by Contractor must also comply with

not currently engaged in, and agrees for the duration of the Agreement, not to engage in a
boycott of Israel as defined by state statute.
5.20 Legal Worker Requirements. A.R.S. § 41-4401 prohibits the City from awarding a contract
to any contractor who fails, or whose subcontractors fail, to comply with A.R.S. § 23-214(A).
Therefore, Contractor agrees Contractor and each subcontractor it uses warrants their
compliance with all federal immigration laws and regulations that relate to their employees
and their compliance with§ 23-214, subsection A. A breach of this warranty will be deemed a
material breach of the Agreement and may be subject to penalties up to and including
termination of the Agreement. City retains the legal right to inspect the papers of any
Contractor’s or subcontractor’s employee who provides services under this Agreement to
ensure that the Contractor and subcontractors comply with the warranty under this provision.
5.21 Lawful Presence Requirement. A.R.S. §§ 1-501 and 1-502 prohibit the City from awarding
a contract to any natural person who cannot establish that such person is lawfully present in
the United States. To establish lawful presence, a person must produce qualifying identification
and sign a City-provided affidavit affirming that the identification provided is genuine. This
requirement will be imposed at the time of contract award. This requirement does not apply
to business organizations such as corporations, partnerships, or limited liability companies.

5.22 Covenant Against Contingent Fees. Contractor warrants that no person has been
employed or retained to solicit or secure this Agreement upon an agreement or understanding
for a commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee, and that no member of the
Chandler City Council, or any City employee has any interest, financially, or otherwise, in
Contractor’s firm. For breach or violation of this warrant, the City may annul this Agreement
without liability or, at its discretion, to deduct from the Agreement price or consideration, the
full amount of such commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee.
5.23 Non-Waiver Provision. The failure of either Party to enforce any of the provisions of this
Agreement or to require performance of the other Party of any of the provisions hereof must
not be construed to be a waiver of such provisions, nor must it affect the validity of this
Agreement or any part thereof, or the right of either Party to thereafter enforce each and every
provision.
5.24 Disclosure of Information Adverse to the City’s Interests. To evaluate and avoid potential
conflicts of interest, the Contractor must provide written notice to the City, as set forth in this
Section, of any work or services performed by the Contractor for third parties that may involve
or be associated with any real property or personal property owned or leased by the City. Such
notice must be given seven business days prior to commencement of the services by the
Contractor for a third party, or seven business days prior to an adverse action as defined below.
Written notice and disclosure must be sent to the City’s Purchasing and Materials Manager. An
adverse action under this Agreement includes, but is not limited to: (a) using data as defined in
the Agreement acquired in connection with this Agreement to assist a third party in pursuing
administrative or judicial action against the City; or (b) testifying or providing evidence on behalf
of any person in connection with an administrative or judicial action against the City; or (c) using
data to produce income for the Contractor or its employees independently of performing the
services under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the City. Contractor
represents that except for those persons, entities, and projects identified to the City, the
services performed by the Contractor under this Agreement are not expected to create an
interest with any person, entity, or third party project that is or may be adverse to the City’s
interests. Contractor's failure to provide a written notice and disclosure of the information as
set forth in this Section constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
5.25 Data Confidentiality and Data Security. As used in the Agreement, data means all
information, whether written or verbal, including plans, photographs, studies, investigations, audits,
analyses, samples, reports, calculations, internal memos, meeting minutes, data field notes, work
product, proposals, correspondence and any other similar documents or information prepared by,
obtained by, or transmitted to the Contractor or its subcontractors in the performance of this
Agreement. The Parties agree that all data, regardless of form, including originals, images, and
reproductions, prepared by, obtained by, or transmitted to the Contractor or its subcontractors in
connection with the Contractor's or its subcontractor’s performance of this Agreement is
confidential and proprietary information belonging to the City. Except as specifically provided in this
Agreement, Contractor or its subcontractors must not divulge data to any third party without the
City’s prior written consent. Contractor or its subcontractors must not use the data for any purposes
except to perform the services required under this Agreement. These prohibitions do not apply to
the following data provided to the Contractor or its subcontractors have first given the required
DocuSign Envelope ID: 967AB005-65D4-4F46-9DB8-A7832336B56D
Page 8 of 96
notice to the City: (a) data which was known to the Contractor or its subcontractors prior to its
performance under this Agreement unless such data was acquired in connection with work
performed for the City; or (b) data which was acquired by the Contractor or its subcontractors in its
performance under this Agreement and which was disclosed to the Contractor or its subcontractors
by a third party, who to the best of the Contractor's or its subcontractors knowledge and belief, had
the legal right to make such disclosure and the Contractor or its subcontractors are not otherwise
required to hold such data in confidence; or (c) data which is required to be disclosed by virtue of
law, regulation, or court order, to which the Contractor or its subcontractors are subject. In the event
the Contractor or its subcontractors are required or requested to disclose data to a third party, or
any other information to which the Contractor or its subcontractors became privy as a result of any
other contract with the City, the Contractor must first notify the City as set forth in this Section of
the request or demand for the data. The Contractor or its subcontractors must give the City
sufficient facts so that the City can be given an opportunity to first give its consent or take such
action that the City may deem appropriate to protect such data or other information from
disclosure. Unless prohibited by law, within ten calendar days after completion or termination of
services under this Agreement, the Contractor or its subcontractors must promptly deliver, as set
forth in this Section, a copy of all data to the City. All data must continue to be subject to the
confidentiality agreements of this Agreement. Contractor or its subcontractors assume all liability
to maintain the confidentiality of the data in its possession and agrees to compensate the City if any
of the provisions of this Section are violated by the Contractor, its employees, agents or
subcontractors. Solely for the purposes of seeking injunctive relief, it is agreed that a breach of this
Section must be deemed to cause irreparable harm that justifies injunctive relief in court. Contractor
agrees that the requirements of this Section must be incorporated into all subcontracts entered
into by Contractor. A violation of this Section may result in immediate termination of this Agreement
without notice.
5.26 Personal Identifying Information-Data Security. Personal identifying information, financial
account information, or restricted City information, whether electronic format or hard copy,
must be secured and protected at all times by Contractor and any of its subcontractors. At a
minimum, Contractor must encrypt or password-protect electronic files. This includes data
saved to laptop computers, computerized devices, or removable storage devices. When
personal identifying information, financial account information, or restricted City information,
regardless of its format, is no longer necessary, the information must be redacted or destroyed
through appropriate and secure methods that ensure the information cannot be viewed,
accessed, or reconstructed. In the event that data collected or obtained by Contractor or its
subcontractors in connection with this Agreement is believed to have been compromised,
Contractor or its subcontractors must immediately notify the City contact. Contractor agrees
to reimburse the City for any costs incurred by the City to investigate potential breaches of this
data and, where applicable, the cost of notifying individuals who may be impacted by the
breach. Contractor agrees that the requirements of this Section must be incorporated into all
subcontracts entered into by Contractor. It is further agreed that a violation of this Section must
be deemed to cause irreparable harm that justifies injunctive relief in court. A violation of this
Section may result in immediate termination of this Agreement without notice. The obligations
of Contractor or its subcontractors under this Section must survive the termination of this
Agreement.

At the same time as execution of this Agreement, the Contractor shall furnish the City a
certificate of insurance on a standard insurance industry ACORD form. The ACORD form
must be issued by an insurance company authorized to transact business in the State of
Arizona possessing a current A.M. Best, Inc. rating of A-7, or better and legally authorized to
do business in the State of Arizona with policies and forms satisfactory to City. Provided,

The Contractor and any of its subcontractors shall procure and maintain, until all of their
obligations have been discharged, including any warranty periods under this Agreement are
satisfied, the insurances set forth below.
C.
The insurance requirements set forth below are minimum requirements for this Agreement
and in no way limit the indemnity covenants contained in this Agreement.
D.
The City in no way warrants that the minimum insurance limits contained in this Agreement
are sufficient to protect Contractor from liabilities that might arise out of the performance
of the Agreement services under this Agreement by Contractor, its agents, representatives,
employees, subcontractors, and the Contractor is free to purchase any additional insurance
as may be determined necessary.
E.
Failure to demand evidence of full compliance with the insurance requirements in this
Agreement or failure to identify any insurance deficiency will not relieve the Contractor from,
nor will it be considered a waiver of its obligation to maintain the required insurance at all
times during the performance of this Agreement.
F.
Use of Subcontractors: If any work is subcontracted in any way, the Contractor shall execute
a written contract with Subcontractor containing the same Indemnification Clause and

allowed to begin work in any City facility without: (A) The prior completion and the City's acceptance of the
required background screening; and (B) when required, the Contract Worker's receipt of a City issued
badge. A badge will be issued to a Contract Worker solely for access to the City facility(s) to which the
Contract Worker is assigned. Each Contract Worker who enters a City facility must use the badge issued to
the Contract Worker. Any and all fees associated with security badging will be assessed in compliance with
Chandler City Code §4-22.
Key Access Procedures. If the Contract Worker's services require keyed access to enter a City facility(s), a
separate key issue/return form must be completed and submitted by Contractor for each key issued.
Stolen or Lost Badges or Keys. Contractor shall report lost or stolen badges or keys to the City immediately.
A new badge application or key issue form shall be completed and submitted along with payment of the
applicable fees prior to issuance of a new badge or key.
Return of Badges or Keys. All badges and keys are the property of the City and must be returned to the City
within one business day of when the Contract Worker's access to a City facility is no longer required to
furnish the services under this Agreement. Contractor shall collect a Contract Worker's badge and key(s)
upon the termination of the Contract Worker's employment; when the Contract Worker's services are no
longer required at the particular City facility(s); or upon termination, cancellation or expiration of this
Agreement.
Contractor's default under this Section shall include, but is not limited to the following: (1) Contract Worker
gains access to a City facility(s) without the proper badge or key; (2) Contract Worker uses a badge or key
of another to gain access to a City facility; (3) Contract Worker commences services under this Agreement
without the proper badge, key or Background Screening; (4) Contract Worker or Contractor submits false

and protect public health, safety and welfare. Accordingly, Contractor agrees to properly cure any default
under this Section within three business days from the date notice of default is sent by the City. The parties
agree that Contractor's failure to properly cure any default under this Section shall constitute a breach of
this Section. In addition to any other remedy available to the City at law or in equity, Contractor shall be
liable for and shall pay to the City the sum of $1,000.00 for each breach by Contractor of this Section. The
parties further agree that the sum fixed above is reasonable and approximates the actual or anticipated
loss to the City at the time and making of this Agreement in the event that Contractor breaches this Section.
Further, the parties expressly acknowledge and agree to the fixed sum set forth above because of the
DocuSign Envelope ID: 967AB005-65D4-4F46-9DB8-A7832336B56D
Page 30 of 96
RFP Revised 07_16
difficulty of proving the City's actual damages in the event that Contractor breaches this Section. The parties
further agree that three breaches by Contractor of this Section arising out of any default within a
consecutive period of three months or three breaches by Contractor of this Section arising out of the same
default within a period of 12 consecutive months shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement by
Contractor and the City expressly reserves all of its rights, remedies and interests under this Agreement,
at law and in equity including, but not limited to, termination of this Agreement.
1. Contractor and Subcontractor Worker Background Screening. Contractor agrees that all
contract workers and subcontractors (collectively "Contract Worker(s)") that Contractor furnishes

set forth in this Section (collectively "Background Screening") at Contractor’s sole cost and expense.
As part of the Background Screening, Contractor must provide to a person designated by the City
the name(s), address(es), and phone number(s) of all Contract Workers who will provide any
services under this Agreement. All Contract Workers must comply with these Background
Screening requirements. All Contract Workers must be able to provide proof of the legal right to

applicable laws, rules, and regulations. Contractor further agrees that the Background Screening
required in this Section is necessary to preserve and protect public health, safety, and welfare. The
Background Screening requirements set forth in this Section are the minimum requirements for
this Agreement. City in no way warrants that these minimum requirements are sufficient to protect
Contractor from any liabilities that may arise out of Contractor’s services under this Agreement or
Contractor’s failure to comply with this Section. Therefore, in addition to the specific measures set
forth below, Contractor and its Contract Workers must take such other reasonable, prudent, and
necessary measures to further preserve and protect public health, safety, and welfare when
providing services under this Agreement.
2. Background Screening Requirements and Criteria. Before offering or scheduling any services
under this Agreement, Contractor agrees that all Contract Workers, including the Contractor, if the
Contractor is an individual or sole proprietorship, must have successfully passed a Background
Screening in accordance with this Section. Contractor warrants that no person will be permitted

the proposed substitute has also satisfied the Background Screening requirements in this Section.
For review and approval, Contractor must submit to a person designated by the City proof of a
completed Background Screening for each Contract Worker over the age of 18 performing services
under this Agreement no fewer than two (2) weeks before the proposed start date of such Contract
Worker’s services. The Background Screening must have been completed within the 12-month
period preceding the Contract Worker’s start date under this Agreement and must include the
results of a national criminal databased check with source verification, and a sex offender
database search.
3. Additional City Rights Regarding Security Inquiries. In addition to the foregoing, City reserves
the rights but not the obligations to: (1) have a Contract Worker be required to provide fingerprints
and execute such other documentation as may be necessary to obtain criminal justice information

pursuant to A.R.S. § 41-1750(G)(4); (2) act on newly acquired information whether or not such
information should have been previously discovered; (3) unilaterally change its standards and
criteria relative to the acceptability of Contract Workers; and (4) object, at any time and for any
reason, to a Contract Worker performing work (including supervision and oversight) under this
Agreement.

read and understands the Background Screening requirements and criteria in this Section and will
fully comply with such requirements. Contractor further certifies that any Background Screening
information to be furnished to City related to Contractor or its Contract Workers will be complete,
current, and accurate. A Contract Worker rejected for work under this Agreement will not be
proposed to perform work under other City contracts or engagements without City's prior written
approval.
5. Terms of This Section Applicable to all of Contractor’s Contracts and Subcontracts.
Contractor must include the terms of this Section for Contract Worker Background Screening in all
contracts and subcontracts for services furnished under this Agreement including, but not limited
to, supervision and oversight services.
6. Materiality of Background Screening Requirements: Indemnity. The Background Screening
requirements of this Section are material to City's entry into this Agreement and any breach of this
Section by Contractor will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. In addition to the
indemnity provisions set forth in this Agreement, Contractor must defend, indemnify, and hold
harmless City for any and all Claims arising out of this Background Screening Section including,
but not limited to, the disqualification of a Contract Worker by Contractor or City for failure to
satisfy this Section.
7. Continuing Duty, Audit. Contractor’s obligations and requirements that Contract Workers satisfy
this Background Screening Section will continue throughout the entire term of this Agreement.
Contractor must notify City immediately of any change to a Background Screening of a Contract
Worker previously accepted by City. Contractor must maintain all records and documents related
to all Background Screenings and City reserves the right to audit Contractor’s compliance with this
Section under the terms of this Agreement.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within
the scope of the classifications listed may be added after
award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses
(29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).
----------------------------------------------------------------
The body of each wage determination lists the classification
and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the
cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage
determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical
order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular
rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local),
a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate
(weighted union average rate).
Union Rate Identifiers
A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed
in dotted lines beginning with characters other than ""SU"" or
""UAVG"" denotes that the union classification and rate were
prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:
PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of
the union which prevailed in the survey for this
classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198
indicates the local union number or district council number
where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number,
005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing
the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the
most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1,
2014.
Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate
changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing
this classification and rate.
Survey Rate Identifiers
Classifications listed under the ""SU"" identifier indicate that
no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and
the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average
rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that
classification. As this weighted average rate includes all
rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and
non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates
the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average
calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates
DocuSign Envelope ID: 967AB005-65D4-4F46-9DB8-A7832336B56D
Page 37 of 96
RFP Revised 07_16
the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which
these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007
in the example, is an internal number used in producing the
wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion
date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a
new survey is conducted.
Union Average Rate Identifiers
Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate
that no single majority rate prevailed for those
classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the
classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010
08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union
average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in
the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage
determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date
for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of
each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current
negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is
based.
----------------------------------------------------------------
WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS
1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can
be:
* an existing published wage determination
* a survey underlying a wage determination
* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on
a wage determination matter
* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling
On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests
for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour
Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted
because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the
Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial
contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.)
and 3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal
process described here, initial contact should be with the
Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:
Branch of Construction Wage Determinations
Wage and Hour Division
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an
interested party (those affected by the action) can request
review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator
(See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:
Wage and Hour Administrator
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the
interested party's position and by any information (wage
payment data, project description, area practice material,
etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.
3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an
interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative
Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:
Administrative Review Board
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.

Applicability
The Project or Program to which the construction work
covered by this contract pertains is being assisted by the
United States of America and the following Federal Labor
Standards
Provisions
are
included
in
this
Contract
pursuant to the provisions applicable to such Federal
assistance.
A.
1. (i) Minimum Wages. All laborers and mechanics
employed or working upon the site of the work, will be paid
unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and
without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account
(except such payroll deductions as are permitted by
regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the
Copeland Act (29 CFR Part 3), the full amount of wages
and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof)
due at time of payment computed at rates not less than
those
contained
in
the
wage
determination
of
the
Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a
part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship
which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and
such laborers and mechanics. Contributions made or
costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits
under Section l(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of
laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such
laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of 29 CFR
5.5(a)(1)(iv); also, regular contributions made or costs
incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often
than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs, which
cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be
constructively made or incurred during such weekly period.
Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate
wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination
for the classification of work actually performed, without
regard to skill, except as provided in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(4).
Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one
classification may be compensated at the rate specified for
each classification for the time actually worked therein:
Provided, That the employer’s payroll records accurately
set forth the time spent in each classification in which
work is performed. The wage determination (including any
additional classification and wage rates conformed under
29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(ii) and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH-
1321) shall be posted at all times by the contractor and its
subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and
accessible, place where it can be easily seen by the
workers.
(ii)
(a) Any class of laborers or mechanics which is not
listed in the wage determination and which is to be
employed
under the contract shall be classified
in
conformance with the wage determination. HUD shall
approve an additional classification and wage rate and
fringe benefits therefor only when the following criteria
have been met:
(1)
The work to be performed by the classification
requested is not performed by a classification in the wage
determination; and
(2)
The classification is utilized in the area by the
construction industry; and
(3)
The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide
fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the
wage rates contained in the wage determination.
(b)
If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be
employed
in
the
classification
(if
known),
or
their
representatives, and HUD or its designee agree on the
classification
and
wage
rate
(including
the
amount
designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report
of the action taken shall be sent by HUD or its designee to
the
Administrator
of
the
Wage
and
Hour
Division,
Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of
Labor, Washington, D.C. 20210. The Administrator, or an
authorized
representative,
will
approve,
modify,
or
disapprove every additional classification action within 30
days of receipt and so advise HUD or its designee or will
notify HUD or its designee within the 30-day period that
additional time is necessary. (Approved by the Office of
Management and Budget under OMB control number 1215-
0140.)
(c)
In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics
to
be
employed
in
the
classification
or
their
representatives, and HUD or its designee do not agree on
the proposed classification and wage rate (including the
amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate),
HUD or its designee shall refer the questions, including
the views of all interested parties and the recommendation
of
HUD
or
its
designee,
to
the
Administrator
for
determination. The Administrator, or an authorized
representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of
receipt and so advise HUD or its designee or will notify
HUD or its designee within the 30-day period that
additional time is necessary. (Approved by the Office of
Management and Budget under OMB Control Number
1215-0140.)
(d)
The wage rate (including fringe benefits where
appropriate)
determined
pursuant
to
subparagraphs
(1)(ii)(b) or (c) of this paragraph, shall be paid to all
workers performing work in the classification under this
contract from the first day on which work is performed in
the classification.
(iii)
Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the
contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a
fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the
contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the
wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe
benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof.
(iv)
If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee
or other third person, the contractor may consider as part
Page 42 of 96
DocuSign Envelope ID: 967AB005-65D4-4F46-9DB8-A7832336B56D
of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any
costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe
benefits under a plan or program, Provided, That the
Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of
the contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis-
Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may
require the contractor to set aside in a separate account
assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or
program. (Approved by the Office of Management and
Budget under OMB Control Number 1215-0140.)
2. Withholding. HUD or its designee shall upon its own
action
or
upon
written
request
of
an
authorized
representative of the Department of Labor withhold or
cause to be withheld from the contractor under this
contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime
contractor,
or
any
other
Federally-assisted
contract
subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements,
which is held by the same prime contractor so much of the
accrued payments or advances as may be considered
necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including
apprentices, trainees and helpers, employed by the
contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages
required by the contract In the event of failure to pay any
laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee or
helper, employed or working on the site of the work, all or
part of the wages required by the contract, HUD or its
designee may, after written notice to the contractor,
sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be
necessary
to
cause
the
suspension
of
any
further
payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such
violations have ceased. HUD or its designee may, after
written notice to the contractor, disburse such amounts
withheld
for
and
on
account
of
the
contractor
or
subcontractor to the respective employees to whom they
are due. The Comptroller General shall make such
disbursements in the case of direct Davis-Bacon Act
contracts.
3. (i) Payrolls and basic records. Payrolls and basic
records relating thereto shall be maintained by the
contractor during the course of the work preserved for a
period of three years thereafter for all laborers and
mechanics working at the site of the work. Such records
shall contain the name, address, and social security
number
of
each
such
worker,
his
or
her
correct
classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates
of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe
benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described
in Section l(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-bacon Act), daily and
weekly number of hours worked, deductions made and
actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has
found under 29 CFR 5.5 (a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any
laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs
reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan
or program described in Section l(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-
Bacon Act, the contractor shall maintain records which
show that the commitment to provide such benefits is
enforceable, that the plan or program is financially
responsible, and that the plan or program has been
communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics
affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or
the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits.
Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under
approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the
registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of
trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and
trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the
applicable
programs.
(Approved
by
the
Office
of
Management and Budget under OMB Control Numbers
1215-0140 and 1215-0017.)
(ii) (a) The contractor shall submit weekly for each week
in which any contract work is performed a copy of all
payrolls to HUD or its designee if the agency is a party to
the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the
contractor will submit the payrolls to the applicant
sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for transmission to
HUD or its designee. The payrolls submitted shall set out
accurately and completely all of the information required
to be maintained under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i) except that full
social security numbers and home addresses shall not be
included on weekly transmittals. Instead the payrolls shall
only need to include an individually identifying number for
each employee (e.g., the last four digits of the employee’s
social security number). The required weekly payroll
information may be submitted in any form desired.
Optional Form WH-347 is available for this purpose from
the
Wage
and
Hour
Division
Web
site
at
http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/forms/wh347instr.htm
or
its
successor site. The prime contractor is responsible for
the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors.
Contractors and subcontractors shall maintain the full
social security number and current address of each
covered worker, and shall provide them upon request to
HUD or its designee if the agency is a party to the
contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the
contractor will submit the payrolls to the applicant
sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for transmission to
HUD or its designee, the contractor, or the Wage and Hour
Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an
investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing wage
requirements. It is not a violation of this subparagraph for
a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide
addresses and social security numbers to the prime
contractor for its own records, without weekly submission
to HUD or its designee. (Approved by the Office of
Management and Budget under OMB Control Number
1215-0149.)
(b) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a
“Statement of Compliance,” signed by the contractor or
subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises
the payment of the persons employed under the contract
and shall certify the following:
(1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the
information required to be provided under 29 CFR 5.5
(a)(3)(ii), the appropriate information is being maintained
under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i), and that such information is
correct and complete;
Page 43 of 96
DocuSign Envelope ID: 967AB005-65D4-4F46-9DB8-A7832336B56D
(2) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper,
apprentice, and trainee) employed on the contract during
the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages
earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and
that no deductions have been made either directly or
indirectly
from
the
full
wages
earned,
other
than
permissible deductions as set forth in 29 CFR Part 3;
(3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less
than the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or cash
equivalents for the classification of work performed, as
specified
in
the
applicable
wage
determination
incorporated into the contract.
(c) The weekly submission of a properly executed
certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form
WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the
“Statement of Compliance” required by subparagraph
A.3.(ii)(b).
(d) The falsification of any of the above certifications may
subject the contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal
prosecution under Section 1001 of Title 18 and Section
231 of Title 31 of the United States Code.
(iii) The contractor or subcontractor shall make the
records required under subparagraph A.3.(i) available for
inspection,
copying,
or
transcription
by
authorized
representatives of HUD or its designee or the Department
of Labor, and shall permit such representatives to
interview employees during working hours on the job. If
the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required
records or to make them available, HUD or its designee
may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor,
applicant or owner, take such action as may be necessary
to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance,
or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the
required records upon request or to make such records
available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to
29 CFR 5.12.
4. Apprentices and Trainees.
(i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at
less than the predetermined rate for the work they
performed when they are employed pursuant to and
individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship
program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor,
Employment
and
Training
Administration,
Office
of
Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or
with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the
Office, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90
days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such
an
apprenticeship
program,
who
is
not
individually
registered in the program, but who has been certified by
the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor
Services
or
a
State
Apprenticeship
Agency
(where
appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as
an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to
journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall
not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as
to the entire work force under the registered program. Any
worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who
is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above,
shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the
wage determination for the classification of work actually
performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on
the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the
registered program shall be paid not less than the
applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the
work actually performed. Where a contractor is performing
construction on a project in a locality other than that in
which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates
(expressed in percentages of the journeyman’s hourly
rate) specified in the contractor’s or subcontractor’s
registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice
must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the
registered program for the apprentice’s level of progress,
expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate
specified
in
the
applicable
wage
determination.
Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance
with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the
apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits,
apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits
listed on the wage determination for the applicable
classification. If the Administrator determines that a
different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice
classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that
determination. In the event the Office of Apprenticeship
Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a State
Apprenticeship
Agency
recognized
by
the
Office,
withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the
contractor
will
no
longer
be
permitted
to
utilize
apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate
for the work performed until an acceptable program is
approved.
(ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16,
trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the
predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are
employed pursuant ‘,to and individually registered in a
program which has received prior approval, evidenced by
formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor,
Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of
trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be greater
than
permitted
under
the
plan
approved
by
the
Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee
must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the
approved program for the trainee’s level of progress,
expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate
specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees
shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the
provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program
does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid
the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage
determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and
Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship
program associated with the corresponding journeyman
wage rate on the wage determination which provides for
less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any
employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not
registered and participating in a training plan approved by
Page 44 of 96
DocuSign Envelope ID: 967AB005-65D4-4F46-9DB8-A7832336B56D
the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid
not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage
determination for the work actually performed. In addition,
any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of
the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be
paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage
determination for the work actually performed. In the
event
the
Employment
and
Training
Administration
withdraws approval of a training program, the contractor
will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than
the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed
until an acceptable program is approved.
(iii) Equal employment opportunity. The utilization of
apprentices, trainees and journeymen under 29 CFR Part 5
shall
be
in
conformity
with
the
equal
employment
opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as
amended, and 29 CFR Part 30.
5. Compliance with Copeland Act requirements. The
contractor shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR
Part 3 which are incorporated by reference in this contract
6. Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor will
insert in any subcontracts the clauses contained in
subparagraphs 1 through 11 in this paragraph A and such
other clauses as HUD or its designee may by appropriate
instructions
require,
and
a
copy
of
the
applicable
prevailing wage decision, and also a clause requiring the
subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier
subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible
for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier
subcontractor
with
all
the
contract
clauses
in
this
paragraph.
7. Contract termination; debarment. A breach of the
contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be grounds for
termination of the contract and for debarment
as
a
contractor and a subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR
5.12.
8. Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act Requirements.
All rulings and interpretations of the Davis-Bacon and
Related Acts contained in 29 CFR Parts 1, 3, and 5 are
herein incorporated by reference in this contract
9. Disputes concerning labor standards. Disputes
arising out of the labor standards provisions of this
contract shall not be subject to the general disputes
clause of this contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in
accordance with the procedures of the Department of
Labor set forth in 29 CFR Parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes
within the meaning of this clause include disputes between
the contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and HUD or
its designee, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the
employees or their representatives.
10. (i) Certification of Eligibility. By entering into this
contract the contractor certifies that neither it (nor he or
she) nor any person or firm who has an interest in the
contractor’s firm is a person or firm ineligible to be
awarded Government contracts by virtue of Section 3(a) of
the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1) or to be
awarded HUD contracts or participate in HUD programs

contract by virtue of Section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act
or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1) or to be awarded HUD contracts or
participate in HUD programs pursuant to 24 CFR Part 24.
(iii) The penalty for making false statements is prescribed
in the U.S. Criminal Code, 18 U.S.C. 1001. Additionally,
U.S. Criminal Code, Section 1 01 0, Title 18, U.S.C.,
“Federal Housing Administration transactions”, provides in
part: “Whoever, for the purpose of . . . influencing in any
way the action of such Administration..... makes, utters or
publishes any statement knowing the same to be false.....
shall be fined not more than $5,000 or imprisoned not
more than two years, or both.”
11.

provisions of this paragraph B are applicable where the amount of the
prime contract exceeds $100,000. As used in this paragraph, the
terms “laborers” and “mechanics” include watchmen and guards.
(1) Overtime requirements. No contractor or subcontractor
contracting for any part of the contract work which may require or

Bid Preparation and Submission
(a) Bidders are expected to examine the specifications, drawings,
all instructions, and, if applicable, the construction site (see also the
contract clause entitled Site Investigation and Conditions Affect-
ing the Work of the General Conditions of the Contract for Construc-
tion). Failure to do so will be at the bidders’ risk.
(b) All bids must be submitted on the forms provided by the Public
Housing Agency/Indian Housing Authority (PHA/IHA). Bidders shall
furnish all the information required by the solicitation. Bids must be
signed and the bidder’s name typed or printed on the bid sheet and
each continuation sheet which requires the entry of information by
the bidder. Erasures or other changes must be initialed by the person
signing the bid. Bids signed by an agent shall be accompanied by
evidence of that agent’s authority. (Bidders should retain a copy of
their bid for their records.)
(c)
Bidders must submit as part of their bid a completed form HUD-
5369-A, “Representations, Certifications, and Other Statements of
Bidders.”
(d) All bid documents shall be sealed in an envelope which shall be
clearly marked with the words “Bid Documents,” the Invitation for
Bids (IFB) number, any project or other identifying number, the
bidder’s name, and the date and time for receipt of bids.
(e) If this solicitation requires bidding on all items, failure to do so will
disqualify the bid. If bidding on all items is not required, bidders
should insert the words “No Bid” in the space provided for any item
on which no price is submitted.
(f)
Unless expressly authorized elsewhere in this solicitation, alter-
nate bids will not be considered.
(g) Unless expressly authorized elsewhere in this solicitation, bids
submitted by telegraph or facsimile (fax) machines will not be
considered.
(h) If the proposed contract is for a Mutual Help project (as de-
scribed in 24 CFR Part 905, Subpart E) that involves Mutual Help
contributions of work, material, or equipment, supplemental informa-
tion regarding the bid advertisement is provided as an attachment to
this solicitation.
2.
Explanations and Interpretations to Prospective
Bidders
(a) Any prospective bidder desiring an explanation or interpretation
of the solicitation, specifications, drawings, etc., must request it at
least 7 days before the scheduled time for bid opening. Requests
may be oral or written. Oral requests must be confirmed in writing.
The only oral clarifications that will be provided will be those clearly
related to solicitation procedures, i.e., not substantive technical
information. No other oral explanation or interpretation will be
provided. Any information given a prospective bidder concerning
this solicitation will be furnished promptly to all other prospective
bidders as a written amendment to the solicitation, if that information
is necessary in submitting bids, or if the lack of it would be prejudicial
to other prospective bidders.
(b) Any information obtained by, or provided to, a bidder other than
by formal amendment to the solicitation shall not constitute a change
to the solicitation.
3.
Amendments to Invitations for Bids
(a) If this solicitation is amended, then all terms and conditions
which are not modified remain unchanged.
(b) Bidders shall acknowledge receipt of any amendment to this
solicitation (1) by signing and returning the amendment, (2) by
identifying the amendment number and date on the bid form, or (3)
by letter, telegram, or facsimile, if those methods are authorized in
the solicitation. The PHA/IHA must receive acknowledgement by the
time and at the place specified for receipt of bids. Bids which fail to
acknowledge the bidder’s receipt of any amendment will result in the
rejection of the bid if the amendment(s) contained information which
substantively changed the PHA’s/IHA’s requirements.
(c)
Amendments will be on file in the offices of the PHA/IHA and the
Architect at least 7 days before bid opening.
4.
Responsibility of Prospective Contractor
(a) The PHA/IHA will award contracts only to responsible prospec-
tive contractors who have the ability to perform successfully under
the terms and conditions of the proposed contract. In determining
the responsibility of a bidder, the PHA/IHA will consider such matters
as the bidder’s:
(1) Integrity;
(2) Compliance with public policy;
(3) Record of past performance; and
(4) Financial and technical resources (including construction
and technical equipment).
(b) Before a bid is considered for award, the bidder may be re-
quested by the PHA/IHA to submit a statement or other documenta-
tion regarding any of the items in paragraph (a) above. Failure by the
bidder to provide such additional information shall render the bidder
nonresponsible and ineligible for award.

5.
Late Submissions, Modifications, and Withdrawal of Bids
(a) Any bid received at the place designated in the solicitation after
the exact time specified for receipt will not be considered unless it is
received before award is made and it:
(1) Was sent by registered or certified mail not later than the
fifth calendar day before the date specified for receipt of offers (e.g.,
an offer submitted in response to a solicitation requiring receipt of
offers by the 20th of the month must have been mailed by the 15th);
(2) Was sent by mail, or if authorized by the solicitation, was
sent by telegram or via facsimile, and it is determined by the PHA/IHA
that the late receipt was due solely to mishandling by the PHA/IHA
after receipt at the PHA/IHA; or
(3) Was sent by U.S. Postal Service Express Mail Next Day
Service - Post Office to Addressee, not later than 5:00 p.m. at the
place of mailing two working days prior to the date specified for
receipt of proposals. The term “working days” excludes weekends
and observed holidays.
(b) Any modification or withdrawal of a bid is subject to the same
conditions as in paragraph (a) of this provision.
(c)
The only acceptable evidence to establish the date of mailing of
a late bid, modification, or withdrawal sent either by registered or
certified mail is the U.S. or Canadian Postal Service postmark both
on the envelope or wrapper and on the original receipt from the U.S.
or Canadian Postal Service. Both postmarks must show a legible
date or the bid, modification, or withdrawal shall be processed as if
mailed late. “Postmark” means a printed, stamped, or otherwise
placed impression (exclusive of a postage meter machine impres-
sion) that is readily identifiable without further action as having been
supplied and affixed by employees of the U.S. or Canadian Postal
Service on the date of mailing. Therefore, bidders should request the
postal clerk to place a hand cancellation bull’s-eye postmark on both
the receipt and the envelope or wrapper.
(d)
The only acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the
PHA/IHA is the time/date stamp of PHA/IHA on the proposal wrapper or
other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the PHA/IHA.
(e) The only acceptable evidence to establish the date of mailing of
a late bid, modification, or withdrawal sent by Express Mail Next Day
Service-Post Office to Addressee is the date entered by the post
office receiving clerk on the “Express Mail Next Day Service-Post
Office to Addressee” label and the postmark on both the envelope or
wrapper and on the original receipt from the U.S. Postal Service.
“Postmark” has the same meaning as defined in paragraph (c) of this
provision, excluding postmarks of the Canadian Postal Service.
Therefore, bidders should request the postal clerk to place a legible
hand cancellation bull’s eye postmark on both the receipt and Failure
by a bidder to acknowledge receipt of the envelope or wrapper.
(f)
Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this provision, a late modifica-
tion of an otherwise successful bid that makes its terms more
favorable to the PHA/IHA will be considered at any time it is received
and may be accepted.
(g) Bids may be withdrawn by written notice, or if authorized by this
solicitation, by telegram (including mailgram) or facsimile machine
transmission received at any time before the exact time set for
opening of bids; provided that written confirmation of telegraphic or
facsimile withdrawals over the signature of the bidder is mailed and
postmarked prior to the specified bid opening time. A bid may be
withdrawn in person by a bidder or its authorized representative if,
before the exact time set for opening of bids, the identity of the person
requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt
for the bid.
6.
Bid Opening
All bids received by the date and time of receipt specified in the
solicitation will be publicly opened and read. The time and place of
opening will be as specified in the solicitation. Bidders and other
interested persons may be present.
7.
Service of Protest
(a) Definitions. As used in this provision:
“Interested party” means an actual or prospective bidder whose
direct economic interest would be affected by the award of the
contract.
“Protest” means a written objection by an interested party to this
solicitation or to a proposed or actual award of a contract pursuant
to this solicitation.
(b) Protests shall be served on the Contracting Officer by obtaining
written and dated acknowledgement from —
[Contracting Officer designate the official or location where a protest
may be served on the Contracting Officer]
(c)
All protests shall be resolved in accordance with the PHA’s/
IHA’s protest policy and procedures, copies of which are maintained
at the PHA/IHA.
8.
Contract Award
(a) The PHA/IHA will evaluate bids in response to this solicitation
without discussions and will award a contract to the responsible
bidder whose bid, conforming to the solicitation, will be most advan-
tageous to the PHA/IHA considering only price and any price-related
factors specified in the solicitation.
(b) If the apparent low bid received in response to this solicitation
exceeds the PHA’s/IHA’s available funding for the proposed contract
work, the PHA/IHA may either accept separately priced items (see
8(e) below) or use the following procedure to determine contract
award. The PHA/IHA shall apply in turn to each bid (proceeding in
order from the apparent low bid to the high bid) each of the separately
priced bid deductible items, if any, in their priority order set forth in
this solicitation. If upon the application of the first deductible item to
all initial bids, a new low bid is within the PHA’s/IHA’s available
funding, then award shall be made to that bidder. If no bid is within
the available funding amount, then the PHA/IHA shall apply the
second deductible item. The PHA/IHA shall continue this process
until an evaluated low bid, if any, is within the PHA’s/IHA’s available
funding. If upon the application of all deductibles, no bid is within the
PHA’s/IHA’s available funding, or if the solicitation does not request
separately priced deductibles, the PHA/IHA shall follow its written
policy and procedures in making any award under this solicitation.
(c)
In the case of tie low bids, award shall be made in accordance
with the PHA’s/IHA’s written policy and procedures.
(d) The PHA/IHA may reject any and all bids, accept other than the
lowest bid (e.g., the apparent low bid is unreasonably low), and waive
informalities or minor irregularities in bids received, in accordance
with the PHA’s/IHA’s written policy and procedures.

form HUD-5369 (10/2002)
(e) Unless precluded elsewhere in the solicitation, the PHA/IHA
may accept any item or combination of items bid.
(f)
The PHA/IHA may reject any bid as nonresponsive if it is
materially unbalanced as to the prices for the various items of work
to be performed. A bid is materially unbalanced when it is based on
prices significantly less than cost for some work and prices which are
significantly overstated for other work.
(g) A written award shall be furnished to the successful bidder within
the period for acceptance specified in the bid and shall result in a
binding contract without further action by either party.
9.
Bid Guarantee (applicable to construction and equip-
ment contracts exceeding $25,000)
All bids must be accompanied by a negotiable bid guarantee which
shall not be less than five percent (5%) of the amount of the bid. The
bid guarantee may be a certified check, bank draft, U.S. Government
Bonds at par value, or a bid bond secured by a surety company
acceptable to the U.S. Government and authorized to do business in
the state where the work is to be performed. In the case where the
work under the contract will be performed on an Indian reservation
area, the bid guarantee may also be an irrevocable Letter of Credit
(see provision 10, Assurance of Completion, below). Certified
checks and bank drafts must be made payable to the order of the
PHA/IHA. The bid guarantee shall insure the execution of the
contract and the furnishing of a method of assurance of completion
by the successful bidder as required by the solicitation. Failure to
submit a bid guarantee with the bid shall result in the rejection of the
bid. Bid guarantees submitted by unsuccessful bidders will be
returned as soon as practicable after bid opening.
10. Assurance of Completion
(a) Unless otherwise provided in State law, the successful bidder
shall furnish an assurance of completion prior to the execution of any
contract under this solicitation. This assurance may be [Contracting
Officer check applicable items] —
[ ]
(1) a performance and payment bond in a penal sum of 100
percent of the contract price; or, as may be required or permitted by
State law;
[ ]
(2) separate performance and payment bonds, each for 50
percent or more of the contract price;
[ ]
(3) a 20 percent cash escrow;
[ ]
(4) a 25 percent irrevocable letter of credit; or,
[ ]
(5) an irrevocable letter of credit for 10 percent of the total
contract price with a monitoring and disbursements agreement with
the IHA (applicable only to contracts awarded by an IHA under the
Indian Housing Program).
(b) Bonds must be obtained from guarantee or surety companies
acceptable to the U.S. Government and authorized to do business in
the state where the work is to be performed. Individual sureties will
not be considered. U.S. Treasury Circular Number 570, published
annually in the Federal Register, lists companies approved to act as
sureties on bonds securing Government contracts, the maximum
underwriting limits on each contract bonded, and the States in which
the company is licensed to do business. Use of companies listed in
this circular is mandatory. Copies of the circular may be downloaded
on the U.S. Department of Treasury website http://
www.fms.treas.gov/c570/index.html, or ordered for a minimum fee
by contacting the Government Printing Office at (202) 512-2168.
(c)
Each bond shall clearly state the rate of premium and the total
amount of premium charged. The current power of attorney for the
person who signs for the surety company must be attached to the
bond. The effective date of the power of attorney shall not precede
the date of the bond. The effective date of the bond shall be on or after
the execution date of the contract.
(d) Failure by the successful bidder to obtain the required assur-
ance of completion within the time specified, or within such extended
period as the PHA/IHA may grant based upon reasons determined
adequate by the PHA/IHA, shall render the bidder ineligible for
award. The PHA/IHA may then either award the contract to the next
lowest responsible bidder or solicit new bids. The PHA/IHA may
retain the ineligible bidder’s bid guarantee.
11. Preconstruction Conference (applicable to construction
contracts)
After award of a contract under this solicitation and prior to the start
of work, the successful bidder will be required to attend a
preconstruction conference with representatives of the PHA/IHA and
its architect/engineer, and other interested parties convened by the
PHA/IHA. The conference will serve to acquaint the participants with
the general plan of the construction operation and all other require-
ments of the contract (e.g., Equal Employment Opportunity, Labor
Standards). The PHA/IHA will provide the successful bidder with the
date, time, and place of the conference.
12. Indian Preference Requirements (applicable only if
this solicitation is for a contract to be performed on a
project for an Indian Housing Authority)
(a) HUD has determined that the contract awarded under this
solicitation is subject to the requirements of section 7(b) of the Indian
Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 450e(b)).
Section 7(b) requires that any contract or subcontract entered into for
the benefit of Indians shall require that, to the greatest extent feasible
(1) Preferences and opportunities for training and employment
(other than core crew positions; see paragraph (h) below) in connec-
tion with the administration of such contracts or subcontracts be
given to qualified “Indians.” The Act defines “Indians” to mean
persons who are members of an Indian tribe and defines “Indian
tribe” to mean any Indian tribe, band, nation, or other organized
group or community, including any Alaska Native village or regional
or village corporation as defined in or established pursuant to the
Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, which is recognized as eligible
for the special programs and services provided by the United States
to Indians because of their status as Indians; and,
(2) Preference in the award of contracts or subcontracts in
connection with the administration of contracts be given to Indian
organizations and to Indian-owned economic enterprises, as de-
fined in section 3 of the Indian Financing Act of 1974 (25 U.S.C.
1452). That Act defines “economic enterprise” to mean any Indian-
owned commercial, industrial, or business activity established or
organized for the purpose of profit, except that the Indian ownership
must constitute not less than 51 percent of the enterprise; “Indian
organization” to mean the governing body of any Indian tribe or entity
established or recognized by such governing body; “Indian” to mean
any person who is a member of any tribe, band, group, pueblo, or
community which is recognized by the Federal Government as
eligible for services from the Bureau of Indian Affairs and any
“Native” as defined in the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act; and
Indian “tribe” to mean any Indian tribe, band, group, pueblo, or
community including Native villages and Native groups (including

corporations organized by Kenai, Juneau, Sitka, and Kodiak) as
defined in the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, which is recog-
nized by the Federal Government as eligible for services from the
Bureau of Indian Affairs.
(b) (1) The successful Contractor under this solicitation shall com-
ply with the requirements of this provision in awarding all subcon-
tracts under the contract and in providing training and employment
opportunities.
(2) A finding by the IHA that the contractor, either (i) awarded
a subcontract without using the procedure required by the IHA, (ii)
falsely represented that subcontracts would be awarded to Indian
enterprises or organizations; or, (iii) failed to comply with the
contractor’s employment and training preference bid statement shall
be grounds for termination of the contract or for the assessment of
penalties or other remedies.
(c)
If specified elsewhere in this solicitation, the IHA may restrict the
solicitation to qualified Indian-owned enterprises and Indian organi-
zations. If two or more (or a greater number as specified elsewhere
in the solicitation) qualified Indian-owned enterprises or organiza-
tions submit responsive bids, award shall be made to the qualified
enterprise or organization with the lowest responsive bid. If fewer
than the minimum required number of qualified Indian-owned enter-
prises or organizations submit responsive bids, the IHA shall reject
all bids and readvertise the solicitation in accordance with paragraph
(d) below.
(d) If the IHA prefers not to restrict the solicitation as described in
paragraph (c) above, or if after having restricted a solicitation an
insufficient number of qualified Indian enterprises or organizations
submit bids, the IHA may advertise for bids from non-Indian as well
as Indian-owned enterprises and Indian organizations. Award shall
be made to the qualified Indian enterprise or organization with the
lowest responsive bid if that bid is -
(1) Within the maximum HUD-approved budget amount estab-
lished for the specific project or activity for which bids are being
solicited; and
(2) No more than the percentage specified in 24 CFR 905.175(c)
higher than the total bid price of the lowest responsive bid from any
qualified bidder. If no responsive bid by a qualified Indian-owned
economic enterprise or organization is within the stated range of the
total bid price of the lowest responsive bid from any qualified
enterprise, award shall be made to the bidder with the lowest bid.
(e) Bidders seeking to qualify for preference in contracting or
subcontracting shall submit proof of Indian ownership with their bids.
Proof of Indian ownership shall include but not be limited to:
(1) Certification by a tribe or other evidence that the bidder is
an Indian. The IHA shall accept the certification of a tribe that an
individual is a member.
(2) Evidence such as stock ownership, structure, manage-
ment, control, financing and salary or profit sharing arrangements of
the enterprise.
(f)
(1) All bidders must submit with their bids a statement describ-
ing how they will provide Indian preference in the award of subcon-
tracts. The specific requirements of that statement and the factors
to used by the IHA in determining the statement’s adequacy are
included as an attachment to this solicitation. Any bid that fails to
include the required statement shall be rejected as nonresponsive.
The IHA may require that comparable statements be provided by
subcontractors to the successful Contractor, and may require the
Contractor to reject any bid or proposal by a subcontractor that fails
to include the statement.
(2) Bidders and prospective subcontractors shall submit a
certification (supported by credible evidence) to the IHA in any
instance where the bidder or subcontractor believes it is infeasible to
provide Indian preference in subcontracting. The acceptance or
rejection by the IHA of the certification shall be final. Rejection shall
disqualify the bid from further consideration.
(g) All bidders must submit with their bids a statement detailing their
employment and training opportunities and their plans to provide
preference to Indians in implementing the contract; and the number
or percentage of Indians anticipated to be employed and trained.
Comparable statements from all proposed subcontractors must be
submitted. The criteria to be used by the IHA in determining the
statement(s)’s adequacy are included as an attachment to this
solicitation. Any bid that fails to include the required statement(s), or
that includes a statement that does not meet minimum standards
required by the IHA shall be rejected as nonresponsive.
(h) Core crew employees. A core crew employee is an individual
who is a bona fide employee of the contractor at the time the bid is
submitted; or an individual who was not employed by the bidder at the
time the bid was submitted, but who is regularly employed by the
bidder in a supervisory or other key skilled position when work is
available. Bidders shall submit with their bids a list of all core crew
employees.
(i)
Preference in contracting, subcontracting, employment, and
training shall apply not only on-site, on the reservation, or within the
IHA’s jurisdiction, but also to contracts with firms that operate outside
these areas (e.g., employment in modular or manufactured housing
construction facilities).
(j)
Bidders should contact the IHA to determine if any additional
local preference requirements are applicable to this solicitation.
(k)
The IHA [ ] does [ ] does not [Contracting Officer check
applicable box] maintain lists of Indian-owned economic enterprises
and Indian organizations by specialty (e.g., plumbing, electrical,
foundations), which are available to bidders to assist them in meeting
their responsibility to provide preference in connection with the
administration of contracts and subcontracts.

(1) All laborers and mechanics employed under this
contract in the development or construction of the

1(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or
mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or
mechanics, subject to the provisions of 29 CFR
5.5(a)(1)(iv); also, regular contributions made or costs

patent rights and shall save the PHA harmless from loss
on account thereof; except that the PHA shall be
responsible for all such loss when a particular design,
process or the product of a particular manufacturer or

laborer or mechanic include the amount of costs
reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a
plan or program described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the
Davis-Bacon Act, the Contractor shall maintain
records which show that the commitment to provide
such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program
is financially responsible, and that the plan or

allowability of the direct and indirect costs shall be
determined in accordance with the Contract Cost

contract. A claim arising under the contract, unlike a
claim relating to the contract, is a claim that can be
resolved under a contract clause that provides for the
relief sought by the claimant. A voucher, invoice, or other
routine request for payment that is not in dispute when
submitted is not a claim. The submission may be
converted to a claim by complying with the requirements
of this clause, if it is disputed either as to liability or
amount or is not acted upon in a reasonable time.
