The Contractor shall, within three (3) business days after the pre-construction conference or another period of time determined by AHCDD, prepare and submit to AHCDD three copies of a practicable schedule showing the order in which the Contractor proposes to perform the work, and the dates on which the Contractor contemplates starting and completing the several salient features of the work (including acquiring labor, materials, and equipment). The schedule shall be in the form of a progress chart of suitable scale to indicate appropriately the percentage of work scheduled for completion by any given date during the period. If the Contractor fails to submit a schedule within the time prescribed, AHCDD may withhold approval of progress payments or take other remedies under the contract until the Contractor submits the required schedule. B. The Contractor shall enter the actual progress on the chart as required by AHCDD, and immediately deliver three copies of the annotated schedule to AHCDD. If AHCDD determines, upon the basis of inspection conducted pursuant to the clause entitled "Inspection and Acceptance of Construction", herein that the Contractor is not meeting the approved schedule, the Contractor shall take steps necessary to improve its' progress, including those that may be required by AHCDD, without additional cost to AHCDD or the Owner. In this circumstance, AHCDD may require the Contractor to increase the number of shifts, overtime operations, days of work, and/or the amount of construction plant, and to submit for approval any supplementary schedule or schedules in chart form as AHCDD deems necessary to demonstrate how the approved rate of progress will be regained. C. Failure of the Contractor to comply with the requirements of AHCDD under this clause shall be grounds for a determination by AHCDD that the Contractor is not prosecuting the work with sufficient diligence to ensure completion within the time specified in the Contract. Upon making this determination, AHCDD may terminate the Contractor's right to proceed with the work, or any separable part of it, in accordance with the "Default" clause of this contract. 3. Site Investigation and Conditions Affecting the Work. A. The Contractor acknowledges that he has taken steps reasonably necessary to ascertain the nature and location of the work, and that he has investigated and satisfied himself as to the general and local conditions which can affect the work or its cost, including but not limited to: (1.) conditions bearing upon transportation, disposal, handling, and storage of materials; (2.) the availability of labor, water, electric power, and roads; (3.) uncertainties of weather, river stages, tides, or similar physical conditions at the site; (4.) the conformation and conditions of the ground; and (5.) the character of equipment and facilities needed preliminary to and during work performance.

Any failure of the Contractor to take the actions described and acknowledged in this paragraph will not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for estimating properly the difficulty and cost of successfully performing the work, or from proceeding to successfully perform the work without additional expense to AHCDD. C. AHCDD assumes no responsibility for any conclusions or interpretations made by the Contractor based on the information made available by AHCDD. Nor does AHCDD assume responsibility for any understanding reached or representation made concerning conditions that can affect the work by any of its officers or agents before the execution of this contract, unless that understanding or representation is expressly stated in this contract. 4. Differing Site Conditions. A. The Contractor shall, within two (2) business days of discovery, and before the conditions are disturbed, give a written notice to AHCDD and the Architect of: (1.) subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site which differ from those indicated in this contract; or (2.) unknown physical conditions at the site, of an unusual nature, which differ materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inhering in work of the character provided for in the contract. B. AHCDD and the Architect shall investigate the site conditions promptly after receiving the notice. Work shall not proceed at the affected site, except at the Contractor's risk, until AHCDD has provided written instructions to the Contractor. If the conditions materially differ and cause an increase or decrease in the Contractor's cost or the time required for performing any part of the work under this contract, whether or not changed as a result of the conditions, AHCDD will make an equitable adjustment in the contract price, the delivery schedule, or both under this clause and the contract modified in writing accordingly. C. No request by the Contractor for an equitable adjustment to the contract under this clause shall be allowed, unless the Contractor has given the written notice required; provided, that the time prescribed above for giving written notice may be extended by AHCDD. D. No request by the Contractor for an equitable adjustment to the contract for differing site conditions shall be allowed if made after final payment under this contract. 5. Specifications and Drawings for Construction. A. The Contractor shall keep on the work site a copy of the drawings and specifications and at all times give access to AHCDD and the Architect. Anything mentioned in the specifications and not shown on the drawings, or shown on the drawings and not mentioned in the specifications, shall be of like effect as if shown or mentioned in both. In case of difference between drawings and specifications, the specifications shall govern. In case of discrepancy in the figures, in the drawings, or in the specifications, the matter shall be promptly submitted to the Architect, who will make a determination in writing. Any adjustment by the Contractor without such a determination shall be at its own risk and expense. The Architect shall furnish from time to time such detailed drawings and other information as considered necessary, unless otherwise provided. B. Where in the specifications or drawings the words "directed", "required", "ordered", "designated", "prescribed", or like words are used, it shall be understood that the "direction", "requirement", "order", "designation", or "prescription", of AHCDD is intended. Similarly the words "approved," "acceptable," "satisfactory," or like words shall mean "approved by," or "acceptable to," or "satisfactory to" AHCDD, unless otherwise expressly stated. I Page 402-5 Form 402 (Rev. 10106) GENERAL CONDITIONS I c. Where "as shown," "as indicated," "as detailed," or words of similar import are used, it is understood that the reference is made to the drawings accompanying this contract unless stated otherwise.

If this contract requires shop drawings, the Contractor shall coordinate all such drawings, and review them for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with other contract requirements and shall indicate its approval thereon as evidence of such coordination and review. Shop drawings submitted to the Architect without evidence of the Contractor's approval may be returned for re-submission. AHCDD and the Architect will indicate an approval or disapproval of the shop drawings and if not approved as submitted shall indicate the reasons therefore. Any work done before such approval shall be at the Contractor's risk. Approval by AHCDD and the Architect shall not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for any errors or omissions in such drawings, nor from responsibility for complying with the requirements of this contract, except with respect to variations described and approved in accordance with paragraph 9G below. G. If shop drawings show variations from the contract requirements, the Contractor shall describe such variations in writing, separate from the drawings, at the time of submission. If the Architect approves any such variation and AHCDD concurs, AHCDD shall issue an appropriate modification to the contract. If the variation is minor or does not involve a change in price or in time of performance, however, a modification need not be issued. H. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to make timely requests of the Architect for such large scale and full size drawings, color schemes, and other additional information, not already in his possession, which shall be required in the planning and production of the work. Such requests may be submitted as the need arises, but each such request shall be filed in ample time to permit appropriate action to be taken by all parties involved, so as to avoid delay. I. The Contractor shall submit to the Architect for approval four copies (unless otherwise indicated) of all shop drawings as called for under the various headings of these specifications. One set (unless otherwise indicated) of all shop drawings will be retained by AHCDD, the Architect, and the Owner, and one set will be returned to the Contractor. As required by AHCDD, the Contractor, upon completing work under this contract, shall furnish a complete set of all shop drawings as finally approved. These drawings shall show all changes and revisions made up to the time the work is completed and accepted. J. This clause shall be included in all subcontracts at any tier.

"As-built drawings," as used in this clause, means drawings submitted by the Contractor or subcontractor at any tier to show the construction of a particular structure or work as actually completed under the contract. "As-built drawings" shall be synonymous with "Record drawings." B. Within 5 days of notification of substantial completion, the Contractor shall provide the Architect accurate information to be used in the preparation of permanent as-built drawings. For this purpose, the Contractor shall record on one set of contract drawings all changes from the installations originally indicated, and record final locations of underground lines by depth from finish grade and by accurate horizontal offset distances to permanent surface improvements such as buildings, curbs, or edges of walks. No final payment will be made to the contractor until the Architect has received accurate information to be used in the preparation of permanent as-built drawings. c. This clause shall be included in all subcontracts. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure that all as-built drawings prepared by subcontractors are submitted to the Architect. 7. Material and Workmanship. A. All equipment, material, and articles furnished under this contract shall be new and of the most suitable grade for the purpose intended, unless otherwise specifically provided in this contract. References in the contract to equipment, material, articles, or patented processes by trade name, make, or catalog number, shall be regarded as establishing a. standard of quality and shall not be construed as limiting competition. The Contractor may use any equipment, material, article, or process that, in the judgment of, and as approved by AHCDD and the Architect, is equal to that named in the specifications, unless otherwise specifically provided in this contract. B. Approval of equipment and materials: (1.) The Contractor shall obtain AHCDD and Architect approval of the machinery and mechanical and other equipment to be incorporated into the work. When requesting approval, the Contractor shall furnish to the Architect the name of the manufacturer, the model number, and other information concerning the performance, capacity, nature, and rating of the machinery and mechanical and other equipment. When required by this contract or by AHCDD, the Contractor shall also obtain AHCDD and Architect approval of the material or articles that the Contractor contemplates incorporating into the work. When requesting approval, the Contractor shall provide full information concerning the material or articles.

Certificates shall be submitted in triplicate, describing each sample submitted for approval and certifying that the material, equipment, or accessory complies with contract requirements. The certificates shall include the name and brand of the product, name of manufacturer, and the location where produced. C. Approval of a sample shall not constitute a waiver of AHCDD or the Owner's right to demand full compliance with contract requirements. Materials, equipment, and accessories may be rejected for cause even though samples have been approved. D. Wherever materials are required to comply with recognized standards or specifications, such specifications shall be accepted as establishing the technical qualities and testing methods, but shall not govern the number of tests required to be made nor modify other contract requirements. AHCDD may require laboratory test reports on items submitted for approval or may approve materials on the basis of data submitted in certificates with samples. Check tests will be made on materials delivered for use only as frequently as AHCDD determines necessary to insure compliance of materials with the specifications. The Contractor will assume all costs of re-testing materials that fail to meet contract requirements and/or testing materials offered in substitution for those found deficient. E.

After receiving the notice, the Contractor shall immediately take corrective action. If the Contractor fails or refuses to take corrective action promptly, AHCDD may issue an order stopping all or part of the work until satisfactory corrective action has been taken. The Contractor shall not base any claim or request for equitable adjustment for additional time or money on any stop .order issued under these circumstances. E. The Contractor shall be responsible for his subcontractors' compliance with the provisions of this clause. The Contractor shall take such action with respect to any subcontract as AHCDD, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, or the Secretary of Labor shall direct as a means of enforcing such provisions. ~ 10.

Page 402-10 Form 402 (Rev. 10106) GENERAL CONDITIONS I 14. Clean Air and Water (Applicable to Contracts in Excess of $100,000). A. Definition. "Facility" means any building, plant, installation, structure, mine, vessel or other floating craft, location, or site of operations, owned, leased, or supervised by the Contractor or any subcontractor, used in the performance of the contract or any subcontract. When a location or site of operations includes more than one building, plant, installation, or structure, the entire location or site shall be deemed a facility except when the Administrator, or a designee, of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) determines that independent facilities are collocated in one geographical area. B. In compliance with regulations issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 40 CFR Part 15, pursuant to the Clean Air Act, as amended ("Air Acf'), 42 U.S.C. 7401, et seq., the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended ('Water Act"), 33 U.S.C. 1251, et seq., and Executive Order 11738, the Contractor agrees to: (1.) Not utilize any facility in the performance of this contract or any subcontract which is listed on the EPA List of Violating Facilities pursuant to Part 15 of the regulations for the duration of time that the facility remains on the list; (2.) Promptly notify AHCDD if a facility the Contractor intends to use in the performance of this contract is on the EPA List of Violating Facilities or the Contractor knows that it has been recommended to be placed on the List; (3.) Comply with all requirements of the Air Act and the Water Act, including requirements of Section 114 of the Air Act and Section 308 of the Water Act, and all applicable clean air and clean water standards; and, (4.) Include or cause to be included the provisions of this clause in every subcontract, and take such action as HUD may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions. 15. Energy Efficiency. The Contractor shall comply with all standards and policies relating to energy efficiency which are contained in the energy conservation plan issued in compliance with the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (Public Law 94-163) for the State of Georgia. 16. Inspection and Acceptance of Construction. A. Definitions. As used in this clause: (1.) "Acceptance" means the act of AHCDD by which AHCDDand the Architect approve and the Owner assumes ownership of the work performed under this contract. Acceptance may be partial or complete. (2.) "Inspection" means examining and testing the work performed under the contract (including, when appropriate, raw materials, equipment, components, and intermediate assemblies) to determine whether it conforms to contract requirements. (3.) "Testing" means that element of inspection that determines the properties or elements, including functional operation of materials, equipment, or their components, by the application of established scientific principles and procedures. B. The Contractor shall maintain an adequate quality control system and will ensure that the work performed under the contract conforms to contract requirements. All work is subject to inspection and test by AHCDD and the Architect at all places and at all reasonable times before acceptance to ensure strict compliance with the terms of the contract. If AHCDD requires the contractor to work overtime, on weekends or on holidays, the contractor must first notify AHCDD in writing of the overtime schedule. If AHCDD determines it necessary to have AHCDD or Architect staff present or on call during the contractor's overtime, the contractor shall reimburse AHCDD or the Architect for the staff costs at time and half the regular staff rate. Should the contractor fail to reimburse AHCDD by the next progress payment requested by the contractor, AHCDD shall deduct such reimbursement from the contractor's next progress payment. I C. AHCDD and Architect inspections and tests are for the benefit of AHCDD and the Owner and do not: Page 402-11 Form 402 (Rev. 10106) GENERAL CONDITIONS ,I (1.) relieve the Contractor of responsibility for providing adequate quality control measures; (2.) relieve the Contractor of responsibility for loss or damaged material before acceptance; (3.) constitute or imply acceptance; or, (4.) affect the continuing rights of the Owner after acceptance of the completed work under paragraph J below. D. The presence or absence of AHCDD or the Architect does not relieve the Contractor from any contract requirement, nor is he authorized to change any term or condition of the specifications without AHCDD's written authorization. AHCDD shall give all instructions and approvals with respect to the work to the Contractor. E. The Contractor shall promptly furnish, without additional charge, all facilities, labor, and material reasonably needed for performing such safe and convenient inspections and tests as may be required by AHCDD. AHCDD may charge to the Contractor any additional cost of inspection or test when work is not ready at the time specified by the Contractor for inspection or test, or when prior rejection makes re-inspection or retest necessary. AHCDD shall perform all inspections and tests in a manner that will not unnecessarily delay the work. Special, full size, and performance tests shall be performed as described in the contract. F. AHCDD and the Architect may conduct routine inspections of the construction site on a daily basis. G. The Contractor shall, without charge, replace or correct work found by AHCDD or the Architect not to conform to contract requirements, unless AHCDD decides that it is in their interest or that of the Owner to accept the work with an appropriate adjustment in contract price. The Contractor shall promptly segregate and remove rejected material from the premises. H. If the Contractor does not promptly replace or correct rejected work, AHCDD may: (1.) by contract or otherwise, replace or correct the work and charge the cost to the Contractor; (2.) terminate for default the Contractor's right to proceed. I. If any work requiring inspection is covered up without approval of AHCDD, it must, if requested by AHCDD, be uncovered at the expense of the Contractor. If at any time before final acceptance of the entire work, AHCDD considers it necessary or advisable to examine work already completed by removing or tearing it out, the Contractor shall, on request, promptly furnish all necessary facilities, labor, and material. If such work is found to be defective or non-conforming in any material respect due to the fault of the Contractor or its subcontractors, the Contractor shall defray all the expenses of the examination and of satisfactory reconstruction. If, however, such work is found to meet the requirements of the contract, AHCDD shall make an equitable adjustment to cover the cost of the examination and reconstruction, including, if completion of the work was thereby delayed, an extension of time. . J. The Contractor shall notify AHCDD and the Architect as to the date when in its opinion all or a designated portion of the work will be substantially completed and ready for inspection. If AHCDD and the Architect determine that the state of preparedness is as represented, the inspection will be completed promptly. Unless otherwise specified in the contract, AHCDD shall accept, as soon as practicable after completion and inspection, all work required by the contract or that portion of the work AHCDD and the Architect determine and designate can be accepted separately. Acceptance shall be final and conclusive except for latent defects, fraud, gross mistakes amounting to fraud, or the Owner's right under any warranty or guarantee. I Page 402-12 Form 402 (Rev. 10106) GENERAL CONDITIONS 17. Use and Possession Prior to Completion. A. The Owner shall have the right to take possession of or use any completed or partially completed part of the work. Before taking possession of or using any work, the Architect shall furnish the Contractor a list of items of work remaining to be performed or corrected on those portions of the work that the Owner intends to take possession of or use. However, failure of AHCDD or the Architect to list any item of work shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for complying with the terms of the contract. The Owner's possession or use shall not be deemed an acceptance of any work under the contract. B. While the Owner has such possession or use, the Contractor shall be relieved of the responsibility for: (1.) the loss of or damage to the work resulting from the Owner's possession or use, notwithstanding the terms of the "Permits, Licenses, and Codes" clause of this contract; (2.) all maintenance costs on the areas occupied; and, (3.) furnishing heat, light, power, and water used in the areas occupied without proper remuneration. C. If prior possession or use by the Owner delays the progress of the work or causes additional expense to the Contractor, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the contract price or the time of completion, and the contract shall be modified in writing accordingly. ' 18. Warranty otTitle. The Contractor warrants good title to all materials, supplies, and equipment incorporated in the work and agrees to deliver the premises, together with all improvements thereon, free from any claims, liens or charges, and agrees further that neither it nor any other person, firm or corporation shall have any right to a lien upon the premises or anything appurtenant thereto. 19. Warranty ot Construction. A. In addition to any other warranties in this contract, the Contractor warrants, except as provided in paragraph J of this clause, that work performed under this contract conforms to the contract requirements and is free of any defect in equipment, material, or workmanship performed by himself, any subcontractor, or supplier at any tier. This warranty shall continue for a period of one year from the date of final acceptance of the work. If the Owner takes possession of any part of the work before final acceptance, this warranty shall continue for a period of one year from the date that the Owner takes possession. ' B. The Contractor shall remedy, at the Contractor's expense, any failure to conform, or any defect. In addition, the Contractor shall remedy, at the Contractor's expense, any damage to the Owner's owned or controlled real or personal property when the damage is the result of: (1.) the Contractor's failure to conform to contract requirements; or (2.) any defects of equipment, material, workmanship or design furnished by the Contractor. C. The Contractor will restore any work damaged in fulfilling the terms of this clause. The Contractor's warranty with respect to work repaired or replaced will run for one year from the date of repair or replacement. D. The Owner shall notify the Contractor, in writing, within a reasonable time after the discovery of any failure, defect, or damage. E. If the Contractor fails to remedy any failure, defect, or damage within a reasonable time after receipt of notice, AHCDD shall have the right to replace, repair, or otherwise remedy the failure, defect, or damage at the Contractor's expense. Page 402-13 I Form 402 GENERAL CONDITIONS (Rev. 10106) I F. With respect to all warranties, express or implied, from subcontractors, manufacturers, or suppliers for work performed and materials furnished under this contract, the Contractor shall: (1.) obtain all warranties that would be given in normal commercial practice; (2.) require all warranties to be executed in writing, for the benefit of the Owner; and, (3.) enforce all warranties for the benefit of the Owner. G. In the event the Contractor's warranty under this clause has expired, the Owner may bring suit at its own expense to enforce a subcontractor, manufacturer, or supplier warranty. H. Unless a defect is caused by the negligence of the Contractor or subcontractor at any tier, the Contractor shall not be liable for the repair of any defective material furnished by the Owner, nor for the repair of any damage that results from any defect in Owner furnished material. I. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, the establishment of the time periods in paragraphs A and C above relate only to the specific obligation of the Contractor to correct the work, and have no relationship to the time within which his obligation to comply with the contract may be sought to be enforced, nor to the time within which proceedings may be commenced to establish the Contractor's liability with respect to its obligation other than specifically to correct the work. J. This warranty shall not limit the Owner's rights under the "Inspection and Acceptance of Construction" clause of this contract with respect to latent defects, gross mistakes or fraud. 20. Prohibition Against Liens. The Contractor is prohibited from placing a lien on the property of AHCDD or the City of Augusta, or it's officers or agents. This prohibition shall apply to all subcontractors at any tier and all material suppliers. I Page 402-14 - Form 402 (Rev. 10106) GENERAL CONDITIONS ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS 1. Contract Period. The Contractor shall complete all work required under this contract within the time schedule established in the Notice to Proceed issued by AHCDD. 2. Order of Precedence. In the event of a conflict between these General Conditions and the Specifications, the General Conditions shall prevail. In the event of a conflict between the contract and any applicable state or local law or regulation, the state or local law or regulation shall prevail; provided that such state or local law or regulation does not conflict with, or is less restrictive than applicable federal law, regulation, or Executive Order. In the event of such a conflict, applicable federal law, regulation, or Executive Order shall prevail. 3. Payments to Contractor. A. Payments to the Contractor will be made by AHCDD on behalf of the Owner. AHCDD shall pay the Contractor the price as provided in this contract. B. Before any payment is made, an inspection by an AHCDD Rehabilitation Inspector and the Architect must be performed. AHCDD shall make progress payments approximately every 30 days on the AHCDD-determined value of work accomplished that meets the standards of quality established under the contract, as approved by AHCDD and the Architect. AHCDD may, with the approval of the Director, make more frequent payments to contractors that are qualified small businesses. ' C. Before the first progress payment under this contract, the Contractor shall furnish, in such detail as requested by AHCDD, a breakdown of the total contract price showing the amount for each principal category of the work, which shall substantiate the payment requested and provide a basis for determining progress payments. The breakdown shall be approved by AHCDD. If the contract covers more than one project, the Contractor shall furnish a separate breakdown for each. The values and quantities employed in making up this breakdown are for determining the amount of progress payments and shall not be construed as a basis for additions to or deductions from the contract price. D. The Contractor shall submit, on forms provided by AHCDD, requests for payment showing the value of the work performed during the period based upon the approved breakdown of the contract price. Such payment requests shall be submitted only for work completed during that period and are subject to correction and revision as required. AHCDD, the Architect, and the Owner must approve the estimates prior to payment. If the contract covers more than one project, the Contractor shall furnish a separate progress payment estimate for each. E. The AHCDD payment request shall include the following certification, which shall be signed by the Contractor, or payment shall not be made: "I hereby certify, to the best of my knowledge and belief, that: (1.) The amounts requested are only for performance in accordance with the specifications, terms, and conditions of the contract; (2.) Payments to subcontractors and suppliers have been made from previous payments received under the contract, and timely payments will be made from the proceeds of the payment covered by this certification, in accordance with subcontract agreements; and, (3.) This request for progress payments does not include any amounts that the prime contractor intends to withhold or retain from a subcontractor or supplier in accordance with the terms and conditions of the subcontract." Page 402-15 Form 402 (Rev. 10106) GENERAL CONDITIONS F. Except as otherwise provided in State law, AHCDD shall retain ten (10) percent of the amount of progress payments until completion and acceptance of all work under the contract; except, that if upon completion of 50 percent of the work, AHCDD, after consulting with the Architect, determines that the Contractor's performance and progress are satisfactory, AHCDD may make the remaining payments in full for the work subsequently completed. If AHCDD and the Architect subsequently determine that the Contractor's performance and progress are unsatisfactory, AHCDD shall reinstate the ten (10) percent retainage until such time as AHCDD and the Architect determine that performance and progress are satisfactory. G. AHCDD may authorize material delivered on the site and preparatory work already completed to be taken into consideration when computing progress payments. Material delivered to the Contractor at locations other than the site may also be taken into consideration if the Contractor furnishes satisfactory evidence that: (1.) it has acquired title to such material; (2.) the material is properly stored in a bonded warehouse, storage yard, or similar suitable place as may be approved by AHCDD; (3.) the material is insured to cover its full value; and (4.) the material will be used to perform this contract. H. Before any progress payment that includes delivered material is made, the Contractor shall furnish such documentation as AHCDD may require assuring the protection of the Owner's interest in such materials. The Contractor shall remain responsible for such stored material notwithstanding the transfer of title to the Owner. I. All material and work covered by progress payments made shall, at the time of payment become the sole property of the Owner, but this shall not be construed as: (1.) relieving the Contractor from the sole responsibility for all material and work upon which payments have been made or the restoration of any damaged work; or, (2.) waiving the right of the Owner to require the fulfillment of all of the terms of the contract. J. In the event the Contractor's work has been damaged by other contractors or persons other than employees of AHCDD, the Architect, or the Owner in the course of their employment, the Contractor shall restore such damaged work without cost to AHCDD or the Owner and seek redress for its damage only from those who directly caused it. K. AHCDD shall make the final payment due the Contractor under this contract after: (1.) completion and final acceptance of all work; and (2.) presentation of release of all claims against AHCDD or the Owner arising by virtue of this contract, other than claims, in stated amounts, that the Contractor has specifically excepted from the operation of the release. Each such exception shall embrace no more than one claim, the basis and scope of which shall be clearly defined. L. The amounts for such excepted claims shall not be included in the request for final payment. A release may also be required of the assignee if the Contractor's claim to amounts payable under this contract has been assigned. M. Prior to making any payment, AHCDD may require the Contractor to furnish receipts or other evidence of payment from all persons performing work and supplying material to the Contractor, if AHCDD determines such evidence is necessary to substantiate claimed costs. Page 402-16 I Form 402 : (Rev. 10106) GENERAL CONDITIONS N. Prompt Pay Act. This agreement is intended by the parties to, and does, supersede any and all provisions of the Georgia Prompt Pay Act, O.C.G.A. Section 13-11-1, et seq. In the event any provision of this agreement is inconsistent with any provision of the Prompt Pay Act, the provision of this agreement shall control. O. AHCDD shall not: (1.) determine or adjust any claims for payment or disputes arising thereunder between the Contractor and its subcontractors or material suppliers; or, (2.) withhold any money for the protection of the subcontractors or material suppliers. The failure or refusal of AHCDD to withhold money from the Contractor shall in nowise impair the obligations of any surety or sureties under any bonds furnished under this contract. 4. Contract Modifications. A Only AHCDD has authority to modify any term or condition of this contract. Any contract modification shall be authorized in writing. B. AHCDD may modify the contract unilaterally: (1.) pursuant to a specific authorization stated in a contract clause (e.g., Changes); or (2.) for administrative matters which do not change the rights or responsibilities of the parties (e.g., changes in addresses). All other contract modifications shall be in the form of supplemental agreements signed by AHCDD, the Contractor, and the Owner. C. When a proposed modification requires the approval of the Augusta-Richmond County Commission prior to its issuance (e.g., a change order that exceeds the Owner's approved threshold), modification shall not be effective until the required approval is received by AHCDD. 5. Changes. A. AHCDD may at any time, without notice to the sureties, by written order indicated to be a change order, make changes in the work within the general scope of the contract including changes: (1.) in the specifications (including drawings and designs); (2.) in the method or manner of performance of the work; (3.) owner furnished facilities, equipment, materials, services, or site; or, (4.) directing the acceleration in the performance of the work. B. Any other written order or oral order (which, as used in this paragraph, includes direction, instruction, interpretation, or determination) from AHCDD that causes a change shall be treated as a change order; provided, that the Contractor gives AHCDD ~ritten notice stating: (1.) the date, circumstances and source of the order; and (2.) that the Contractor regards the order as a change order. C. Except as provided in this clause, no order, statement, or conduct of AHCDD shall be treated as a change under this clause or entitle the Contractor to an equitable adjustment. Page 402-17 Form 402 (Rev. 10106) GENERAL CONDITIONS D. If any change under this clause causes an increase or decrease in the Contractor's cost or the time required for the performance of any of the work under this contract, whether or not changed by any such order, AHCDD shall make an equitable adjustment and modify the contract in writing. However, except for an adjustment based on defective specifications, no proposal for any change under paragraph B above shall be allowed for any costs incurred more than 20 days (5 days for oral orders) before the Contractor gives written notice as required. In the case of defective specifications for which AHCDD or the Architect is responsible, the equitable adjustment shall include any increased cost reasonably incurred by the Contractor in attempting to comply with the defective specifications. E. The Contractor must assert its right to an adjustment under this clause within 30 days after: (1.) receipt of a written change order under paragraph A of this clause; or (2.) the furnishing of a written notice under paragraph B of this clause, by submitting a written statement describing the general nature and the amount of the proposal. F. If the facts justify it, AHCDD may extend the period for submission. The proposal may be included in the notice required under paragraph B above. No proposal by the Contractor for an equitable adjustment shall be allowed if asserted after final payment under this contract. G. The Contractor's written proposal for equitable adjustment shall be submitted in the form of a lump sum proposal supported with an itemized breakdown of all increases and decreases in the contract in at least the following details: (1.) Direct Costs. Materials (list individual items, the quantity and unit cost of each, and the aggregate cost); Transportation and delivery costs associated with materials; Labor breakdowns by hours or unit costs (identified with specific work to be performed); Construction equipment exclusively necessary for the change; Costs of preparation and/or revision to shop drawings resulting from the change; Worker's Compensation and Public Liability Insurance; Employment taxes under FICA and FUT A; and, Bond Costs - when size of change warrants revision. (2.) Indirect Costs. Indirect costs may include overhead, general and administrative expenses, and fringe benefits not normally treated as direct costs. (3.) ,Profit. The amount of profit shall be negotiated and may vary according to the nature, extent, and complexity of the work required by the change. H. The allowability of the direct and indirect costs shall be determined in accordance with the Contract Cost Principles and Procedures for Commercial Firms in Part 31 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (48 CFR 1- 31), as implemented by HUD Handbook 2210.18, in effect on the date of this contract. The Contractor shall not be allowed a profit on the profit received by any subcontractor. Equitable adjustments for deleted work shall include a credit for profit and may include a credit for indirect costs. On proposals covering both increases and decreases in the amount of the contract, the application of indirect costs and profit shall be on the net-change in direct costs for the Contractor or subcontractor performing the work. I. The Contractor shall include in the proposal its request for time extension (if any), and shall include sufficient information and dates to demonstrate whether and to what extent the change will delay the completion of the contract in its entirety. J. AHCDD shall act on proposals within 30 days after their receipt, or notify the Contractor of the date when such action will be taken. K. Failure to reach an agreement on any proposal shall be a dispute under the clause entitled "Disputes" herein. Nothing in this clause, however, shall excuse the Contractor from proceeding with the contract as changed. L. Except in an emergency endangering life or property, no change shall be made by the Contractor without a prior order from AHCDD. Page 402-18 Form 402 (Rev. 10/06) GENERAL CONDITIONS S. Suspension of Work. A. AHCDD may order the Contractor in writing to suspend, delay, or interrupt all or any part of the work of this contract for the period of time that AHCDD determines appropriate for the convenience of AHCDD or the Owner. B. If the performance of all or any part of the work is, for an unreasonable period of time, suspended, delayed, or interrupted: (1.) By an act of AHCDD in the administration of this contract; or (2.) By AHCDD's failure to act within the time specified in this contract (or within a reasonable time if not specified); an adjustment shall be made for any increase in the cost of performance of the contract (excluding profit) necessarily caused by such unreasonable suspension, delay, or interruption and the contract modified in writing accordingly. However, no adjustment shall be made under this clause for any suspension, delay, or interruption to the extent that performance would have been so suspended, delayed, or interrupted by any other cause, including the fault or negligence of the Contractor or for which any equitable adjustment is provided for or excluded under any other provision of this contract. C. A claim under this clause shall not be allowed: (1.) For any costs incurred more than 20 days before the Contractor shall have notified AHCDD in writing of the act or failure to act involved (but this requirement shall not apply as to a claim resulting from a suspension order); and, (2.) Unless the claim, in an amount stated, is asserted in writing as soon as practicable after the termination of the suspension, delay, or interruption, but not later than the date of final payment under the contract. 7. Disputes. A. "Claim," as used in this clause, means a written demand or assertion by one of the contracting parties seeking, as a matter of right, the payment of money in a sum certain, the adjustment or interpretation of contract terms, or other relief arising under or relating to the 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. B. Except for disputes arising under the clauses entitled "Labor Standards" and "Labor Standards - Non- routine Maintenance", all disputes arising under or relating to this contract, including any claims for damages for the alleged breach thereof which are not disposed of by agreement, shall be resolved under this clause. C. All claims by the Contractor shall be made in writing within ten (10) calendar days from the date of the occurrence of the dispute and submitted to AHCDD for a written decision. A claim by the Owner against the Contractor shall be subject to a written decision by AHCDD. All claims by the Contractor shall be made in writing and submitted toAHCDD for a written decision. D. AHCDD shall, within 60 days after receipt of the request, decide the claim or notify the Contractor of the date by which the decision will be made. E. AHCDD's decision shall be final unless the Contractor: Page 402-19 Form 402 (Rev. 10/06) GENERAL CONDITIONS (1.) (2.) (3.) appeals in writing to the AHCDD Director in accordance with AHCDD's policies and procedures; refers the appeal to the County Administrator for independent mediation or arbitration in accordance with AHCDD's policies and procedures; or files suit in the Superior Court of Richmond County, Georgia. The Contractor, by executing this agreement, specifically consents to venue in Richmond County and waives any right to contest the venue in the Superior Court of Richmond County, Georgia. F. Such appeal must be made within 14 days after receipt of AHCDD's decision. G. The Contractor shall proceed diligently with performance of this contract, pending final resolution of any request for relief, claim, appeal, or action arising under or relating to the contract, and comply with any decision of AHCDD. 8. Default. A. AHCDD may declare the Contractor in default by written notice thereof to the Contractor, and terminate the whole or any part of this Contract for any of the following reasons: (1.) Failure to begin work within the time specified in the Contract or as otherwise specified; (2.) Failure to perform the work with sufficient labor, equipment, or material to insure the completion of the specified work in accordance with the Contract terms; (3.) Unsatisfactory performance of the work; (4.) 'Failure or refusal to remove material, or remove and replace any work rejected as defective or unsatisfactory; (5.) Discontinuance of work without approval; (6.) Failure to resume work, which has been discontinued, within a reasonable time after notice to do so; (7.) Insolvency or bankruptcy; (8.) Assignment made for the benefit of creditors; (9.)

Failure to protect, to repair, or to make good any damage or injury to property; or (11.) Breach of any provision of this Contract. B. In the event that AHCDD terminates this Contract in whole or in part as provided in Subparagraph A above, AHCDD may procure, upon such terms and in such manner as it determines; services similar or identical to those so terminated, and the Contractor shall be liable to AHCDD for any reasonable excess costs for such similar or identical services included within the terminated part of the Contract. Page 402-20 Form 402 (Rev. 10106) . c. GENERAL CONDITIONS If the Contract is terminated as provided in Subparagraph A above, AHCDD, in addition to any other rights provided in this paragraph, may require the Contractor to transfer title and deliver immediately to the Owner in the manner and to the extent directed by AHCDD, such partially completed work, including, where applicable, reports, working papers and other documentation, as the Contractor has specifically produced or specifically acquired for the performance of such part of the Contract as has been terminated. Payment for completed work accepted by AHCDD shall be at the Contract price. Except as provided below, payment for partially completed work including reports and working papers, delivered to and accepted by AHCDD shall be in an amount agreed upon by the Contractor and AHCDD. AHCDD may withhold from amounts otherwise due the Contractor for such completed or partially completed works, such sum as AHCDD determines to be necessary to protect AHCDD and the Owner against Ipss. D. The rights and remedies of AHCDD provided in this paragraph shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or under this Contract. E. AHCDD failure to exercise any rights or remedies provided in this paragraph shall not be construed to be a waiver by AHCDD of its rights and remedies in regard to the event of default or any succeeding event of default. F. The Contractor's right to proceed shall not be terminated or the Contractor charged with damages under this clause if the delay in completing the work arises from unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor. Examples of such causes include: (1.) (2.) (3.) (4.) (5.) (6.) (7.) (8.) (9.) (10.) (11.) acts of God, or of the public enemy; acts of the Owner, AHCDD, or other governmental entity in either its sovereign or contractual capacity; acts of another contractor in the performance of a contract with AHCDD or the Owner; fires; floods; epidemics; quarantine restrictions; strikes; freight embargoes; unusually severe weather; or delays of subcontractors or suppliers at any tier arising from. unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of both the Contractor and the subcontractors or suppliers. G. The Contractor, within 10 days from the beginning of such delay (unless extended by AHCDD) must notify AHCDD in writing of the causes of delay. AHCDD shall ascertain the facts and the extent of the delay. If, in the judgment of AHCDD, the findings of fact warrant such action, time for completing the work shall be extended by written modification to the contract. The findings of AHCDD shall be reduced to a written decision that shall be subject to the provisions of the "Disputes" clause of this contract. H. If, after termination of the Contractor's right to proceed, it is determined that the Contractor was not in default, or that the delay was excusable, the rights and obligations of the parties will be the same as if the termination had been for convenience of AHCDD and the Owner. I Page 402-21 Form 402 (Rev. 10106) GENERAL CONDITIONS 9. Liquidated Damages. A. If the Contractor fails to complete the work within the time specified in the contract, or any extension, as specified in the clause entitled "Default" of this contract, the Contractor shall pay to the Owner, as liquidated damages, the sum of $100.00 for each day of delay. If different completion dates are specified in the contract for separate parts or stages of the work, the amount of liquidated damages shall be assessed on those parts or stages which are delayed.

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. D. 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 of the Wage and Hour Division 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.

G. If the Contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the Contractor may consider as part 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. H. Withholding of funds. 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 I Page 402-29 Form 402 GENERAL CONDITIONS (Rev. 10106) I the full amount of wages required by the contract.

Optional Form WH-347 (Federal Stock Number 029-005- 00014-1) is available for this purpose and may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. The prime Contractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors. C. 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 maintained under paragraph C of this clause and that such information is correct and complete; (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; and (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. I Page 402-30 I Form 402 (Rev. 10106) GENERAL CONDITIONS D. The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirements for submission of the "Statement of Compliance" required by subparagraph C of this clause. E. 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 3729 of Title 31 of the United States Code. F. The Contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under subparagraph D available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of HUD or its designee, AHCDD, 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, 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. . G. 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, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, 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 Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training 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 classifi~ation 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 in this paragraph, 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 journeyman 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 of the Wage and Hour Division determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, 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. H. 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.

The Owner strongly supports a policy of contracting and providing employment opportunities with residents and resident-owned businesses. Accordingly, agencies are strongly encouraged to contract with residents and resident-owned businesses whenever possible. B. Section 3 of the HUD Act of 1968. (1) This law requires that the Owner make an effort to ensure that individuals or firms located in or owned in substantial part by persons residing in the area of a project are used when possible. The regulations describing this program are in 24 CFR Part 135 and the contract form includes a clause implementing this requirement. (2) Employment and training opportunities for pre-apprentices, apprentices and other training programs for residents will assist the Owner in meeting resident employment, training, and local contracting objectives under Section 3. Further guidance is provided in Federal Register Notice, dated October 6, 1992 and HUD Notice 92-01-SL (See Appendix 32).

See paragraph 6 below. (e) Contractors must make a good faith effort to award subcontracts to businesses located in the City of Augusta or substantially owned by persons residing in the City of Augusta. 6. Resident-Owned Business. A. HUD issued a final rule at 24CFR Part 963 which allows the Owner to use an alternative procurement process when contracting with businesses owned in substantial part by residents (resident-owned businesses) for public housing services, supplies, or construction. As stated in paragraph S. HUD strongly encourages the Owner to contract with resident businesses to the maximum extent feasible. This has been a proven strategy for moving low-income persons out of poverty and dependency. The alternative procurement process is based on the established procurement procedures and requirements set forth in HUD regulations at 24 CFR 85.36, but limits solicitation to resident-owned businesses. The purpose of this rule is to enhance the economic opportunities available to residents by facilitating the award of the Owner contracts to resident-owned businesses that are capable of performing successfully under a proposed City contract at a reasonable price. B. The alternative procurement process under 24 CFR 963 is as follows: (1) The Owner prepares an independent cost estimate for the procurement. (2) The Owner selects the appropriate method of procurement (small purchase, sealed bidding, competitive proposals, or noncompetitive proposals). (3) The Owner solicits a quotation or offer from one or more resident-owned business. (4) The Owner receives bids from one or more resident-owned business and ensures that: (a) the bidders have submitted the required certification regarding previous contracts received under the alternative procurement process;. and (b) the total amount of such previous contracts is less than $500,000. (c) the Owner performs a cost or price analysis of the bids received and determines the price that would normally be paid for comparable supplies. services, or construction in the project area. (5) The Owner awards the contract to the most advantageous bidder, consistent with the evaluation factors stated in the solicitation. provided that the price does not exceed the independent cost estimate and the price that would normally be paid for comparable supplies, services, or construction in the project area. (6) The Owner documents the procurement file and complies with all other applicable procurement requirements of 24 CFR 8S.36 or 24 CFR 905. I 7. Requirements of Bidders. All contractors must comply with Section 3. A bidder claiming a Section 3 preference must qualify as a Section 3 Business Concern or a Resident-owned Business. The bidder must submit the Section 3 Business Concern Certification with the bid to Page 404-4 Form 404 ADDITIONAL SUPPLEMENTAL CONDITIONS (Rev. 10106) l qualify. Additionally, each contractor must, to the greatest extent feasible, hire a Section 3 eligible resident when a new hire possibility occurs. 8. Eligibility for preference. A Section 3 resident seeking the preference in training and employment provided by this part shall certify, or submit evidence to the recipient contractor or subcontractor, if requested, that the person is a Section 3 resident, as defined in Section 135.5. (An example of evidence of eligibility for the preference is evidence of receipt of public assistance, or evidence of participation in a public assistance program.) 9. Eligibility for employment. Nothing in this part shall be construed to require the employment of a Section 3 resident who does not meet the qualifications of the position to be filled. 10. Preference in the award of Section 3 covered contracts. Preference in the award of Section 3 covered contracts that are awarded under a sealed bid process may be provided as follows: A. Bids shall be solicited from all businesses (Section 3 business concerns, and non-Section 3 business concerns).

"X" is determined as follows: x = Lesser of: When the lowest responsive bid is less than $100,000. 10% of that bid or $9,000. When the lowest responsive bid is: At least $100,000, but less than $200,000 9% of that bid, or $16,000 At least $200,000, but less than $300,000 8% of that bid, or $21,000 At least $300,000, but less than $400,000 7% of that bid, or $24,000 At least $400,000, but less that $500,000 6% of that bid, or $25,000 At least $500,000, but less than $1 million 5% of that bid, or $40,000 At least $1 million, but less than $2 million 4% of that bid, or $60,000 At least $2 million, but less than $4 million 3% of that bid, or $80,000 At least $4 million, but less than $7 million 2% of that bid, or $105,000 $7 million or more 1 1/2% of the lowest responsive bid with no dollar limit B.

I Page 410-6 Form 411 Instructions for Development of AFFIRMA liVE ACTION PROGRAM REGARDING DEVELOPMENT OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PROGRAMS UNDER EXECUTIVE ORDER 11246 Executive Order 11246, as amended, required that construction contractors on Federally,.assisted construction projects not discriminate in employment because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The Executive Order further requires that these contractors "take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, or national origin." An Equal Employment Opportunity Clause embracing these principles of "nondiscrimination" and "affirmative action" are required in every non-exempt federally-assisted construction contract. The Department of Housing and Urban Development, at 41 CFR, Chapter 60, Part 60-4, has issued rules and regulation, which set out, for HUD-assisted construction projects, equal employment opportunity requirements. These requirements provide that the applicant for HUD-assisted construction projects will include, or cause to be included, the equal employment opportunity clause in all non-exempt construction contracts. HUD's rules and regulations further require that each construction contractor and subcontractor, on a HUD- assisted project, comply with Title 41 CFR, Chapter 60, Part 60-4, and develop a written affirmative action compliance program. The written affirmative action plans of contractors and subcontractors are subject to review and approval by HUD and shall: 1. Identify areas of employment, employment policies, and employment practices which require actions by the contractor or subcontractor to assure equal employment opportunity to all employees without discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. 2. Analyze these areas, policies and practices to determine what actions by said contractor or subcontractor will be most effective in assuring equal employment opportunity; and 3. Establish a plan when there are deficiencies in minority and female utilization, to include the development of specific goals and timetables to achieve equal employment opportunity through actions identified as potentially most effective. When developing a written affirmative action program, the contractor or subcontractor must realize that the essence of "affirmative action" is the policy of developing programs which will provide detailed specific steps guaranteeing equal employment opportunity keyed to the problems and needs of females and minority groups. These steps shall develop specific goals and timetables for prompt achievement of full equal employment opportunity, including when there are deficiencies in female and minority utilization. Affirmative action can be more clearly understood and effective when contractors strive toward the attainment of specific numerical . goals for the employment and upgrading of female and minority workers within given time periods. Goals should be arrived at through analysis of present policies and practices and may provide a means by which contractors and HUD can judge the results the specific affirmative action steps taken. Contractor's affirmative action plan should provide at least the following elements: I. Company's Equal Employment Opportunity Policy A statement which clearly states the company's policy of nondiscrimination in employment because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. I Page 411-1 Form 411 Instructions for Development of AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PROGRAM II. Coordination and Administration of Program Designate person and way to contact person who will be responsible for coordination of company's equal employment opportunity program. Also outline how policy and affirmative action program will be disseminated to all employees. III. Analysis of A. Recruitment and Employment Practices Consider the extent to which present hiring practices and policies, including recruitment sources, act to exclude minorities and females from becoming applicants for employment with your company. B. Work Force, Consider the current extent of minority group and female employment in skilled, semi- skilled categories on all the company's projects. C. Opportunities for Placement Consider the anticipated opportunities for placing new employees in skilled, semi-skilled or unskilled categories with company during the period in which the HUD-assisted. work is being done. IV. Establishment of Goals and Timetables Based on the analysis done in preceding Section, develop numerical goals (in numbers or percentage man-hours) to work toward within a given time period (time period within which HUD-assisted work will be done) in placing minorities and females in skilled, semi-skilled, or unskilled but trainee positions with your company. V. Specific Affirmative Action Steps Develop specific affirmative action steps which company will make in efforts to reach goals and thus provide equal employment opportunity. 1. Prepare an Eaual Emplovment Opportunity Policy. Make this policy known to all the employees and potential source of employees. 2. Designate a person in a managerial capacity to coordinate equal employment opportunity efforts. 3. Assure non-discriminatory recruiting of staff taking appropriate steps such as: a. Placing employment advertisements in newspapers which serve the largest number of Female and minority group people in the recruiting area. I Page 411-2 Form 411 Instructions for Development of AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PROGRAM b. Recruiting through schools and universities having substantial proportions of minority and female students. c. Maintaining systematic contacts with minority, female, and human relations organization, leaders, and spokesmen to encourage referral of qualified minority and female applicants. d. Encourage present employees to refer minority and female applicants. e. Making it known to all recruitment sources that qualified female and minority members are being sought for consideration for professional, sub-professional and other office work whenever staff is needed. 4. Assure non-discriminatory hiring, taking appropriate steps such as: a. Instructing personally those of the staff who make hiring decisions that minority and female applicants for all jobs are to be considered without discrimination. 5. Assure that maximum use is made of sub-professional internship and other training to help equalize opportunity for female and minority persons such as: a. Sponsoring and assisting female and minority youths, as well as others, to enter sub-professional and professional training and making such training available to the maximum extent. b. Actively encouraging minority and female employees, as well as others, to increase their skills and job potential through participation in available training and education programs. 6. Assure non-discriminatory placement and promotion a. Instruct personally those of the staff who make placement and promotion decisions that minority and female employees are to be considered without discrimination. b. Encourage the promotion of minority and female employees who have increased their skills and job potential in accord with the affirmative action policies. 7. Assure non-discriminatory pay, other compensation and working conditions, taking appropriate steps as: a. Examining rates of pay and fringe benefits for present employees with equivalent duties, and adjusting any inequities found. b. Not reducing the compensation of existing employees who have been converted to on-the-job training states. 8. Encourage non-discriminatory contract, taking appropriate steps such as encouraging female and minority group contractors and contractors with minority and female representation among their employees to submit proposals for contract work. 9. Follow through, questioning, verifying, making whatever changes or additions to the Equal Employment Opportunity Program that may be necessary to assure effectiveness.
