APPLICATION TO THE SMALL URBAN AND RURAL PROGRAM
The following language shall be made part of the contract of assistance with the State or other public body charged
with allocation and administration of funds provided under Title 49 V.S.C. Section 5311:
A. General application
The Public Body Georgia DOT agrees that, in the absence of waiver by the Department of Labor, the terms
and conditions of this warranty, as set forth below, shall apply for the protection of the transportation
related employees of any employer providing transportation services assisted by the Project
Ane:ustalRichmond County Transit) and the transportation related employees of any other surface public
transportation providers in the transportation service area ofthe Project.
. The Public Body shall provide to the Department of Labor and maintain at all times during the Project an
accurate, up-to-date listing of all existing transportation providers which are eligible Recipients of
transportation assistance funded by the Project, in the transportation service area of the Project, and any
labor organizations representing the employees of such providers.
Certification by the Public Body to the Department of Labor that the designated Recipients have indicated
in writing acceptance of the terms and conditions of the warranty arrangement will be sufficient to permit
the flow of Section 5311 funding in the absence of a finding of non-compliance by the Department of
Labor.
B. Standard Terms and Conditions
(1) The Project shall be carried out in such a manner and upon such terms and conditions as will not
adversely affect employees of the Recipient and of any other surface public transportation provider in the
transportation service area of the Project. It shall be an obligation of the recipient and any other legally
responsible party designated by the Public body to assure that any and all transportation services assisted
by the Project are contracted for and operated in such a manner that they do not impair the rights and
interests of affected employees. The term "Project," as used herein, shall not be limited to the particular
facility, service or operation assisted by Federal funds, but shall include any changes, whether
organizational, or otherwise, which are a result of the assistance provided. The phrase "as a result of the
Project," shall when used in this arrangement, include events related to the Project occurring in anticipation
of, during, and subsequent to the Project and any program of efficiencies or economies related thereto;
provided, however, that volume rises and falls of business, or changes in volume and character of
employment brought about by causes other than the Project (including any economies or efficiencies
unrelated to the Project) are not within the purview of this arrangement.
An employee covered by this arrangement, who is not dismissed, displaced or otherwise worsened in his
position with regard to his employment as a result of the Project, but who is dismissed, displaced or
otherwise worsened solely because of the total or partial termination of the Project, discontinuance of
Project services, or exhaustion of Project funding shall not be deemed eligible for a dismissal or
displacement allowance within the meaning of paragraphs (6) and (9) of the Model agreement or applicable
provisions of substitute comparable arrangements.
EXHIBIT 10
(page 2 of 6)
(2)(a) Where employees of a Recipient are represented for collective bargaining purposes, all Project
services provided by that Recipient shall be provided under and in accordance with any collective
bargaining agreement applicable to such employees which is then in effect.
(2)(b) The Recipient or legally responsible party shall provide to all affected employees sixty (60) days'
notice of intended actions which may result in displacements or dismissals or rearrangements of the
working forces. In the case of employees represented by a union, such notice shall be provided by certified
mail through their representatives. The notice shall contain a full and adequate statement of the proposed
changes, and an estimate of the number of employees affected by the intended changes, and the number and
classifications of any jobs in the Recipient's employment available to be filled by such affected employees.
(2)(c) The procedures of this subparagraph shall apply to cases where notices involve employees
represented by a union for collective bargaining purposes. At the request of either the Recipient or the
representatives of such employees negotiations for the purposes of reaching agreement with respect to the
applications of the terms and conditions of this arrangement shall commence immediately. Ifno agreement
is reached within twenty (20) days from the commencement of negotiations, any party to the dispute may
submit the matter to dispute settlement procedures in accordance with paragraph (4) of this warranty. The
foregoing procedures shall be complied with and carried out prior to the institution of the intended action.
(3) For the purpose of providing the statutory required protections including those specifically mandated by
49 D.S.C. Section 5333(b)l, the public body will assure as a condition of the release of funds that the
Recipient agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the National (Model) Section 5333(b)
Agreement executed July 23, 1975, identified belo~, provided that other comparable arrangements may be
substituted therefore, if approved by the Secretary of Labor and certified for inclusion in these conditions.
lSuch protective arrangements shall include, without being limited to, such provisions as may be necessary for (1) the
preservation of rights, privileges, and benefits (including continuation of pension rights and benefits) under existing
collective bargaining agreements or otherwise; (2) the continuation of collective bargaining rights; (3) the protection
of individual employees against a worsening of their positions with respect to their employment; (4) assurances of
employment to employees of acquired mass transportation systems and priority of reemployment of employees
terminated or laid off; and (5) paid training and retraining programs. Such arrangements shall include provisions
protecting individual employees against a worsening of their positions with respect to their employment which shall in
no event provide benefits less than those established pursuant to 49 D.S.C. Section 11347 [the codified citation of
Section 5(2)(f) of the Act of February 4, 1987 (24 Stat. 379), as amended].
2For purposes of this warranty agreement, paragraphs (1);(2);(5);(15);(22);(23);(24);(26)(27);(28); and (29) of the
Model Section 5333(b) Agreement, executed July 23, 1975 are to be omitted.
EXHIBIT 10
(Page 3 of 6)
(4) Any dispute or controversy arising regarding the application, interpretation, or enforcement of any of
the provisions of this arrangement which cannot be settled by and between the parties at interest within
thirty (30) days after the dispute or controversy first arises, may be referred by any such party to any final
and binding disputes settlement procedure acceptable to the parties, or in the event they cannot agree upon
such procedure, to the Department of Labor or an impartial third party designated by the Department of
Labor for final and binding determination. The compensation and expenses of the impartial third party, and
any other jointly incurred expenses, shall be borne equally by the parties to the proceeding and all other
expenses shall be paid by the party incurring them.
In the event of any dispute as to whether or not a particular employee was affected by the Project, it shall
be his obligation to identify the Project and specify the pertinent facts of the Project relied upon. It shall
then be the burden of either the Recipient or other party legally responsible for the application of these
conditions to prove that factors other than the Project affected the employees. The claiming employee shall
prevail if it is established that the Project had an effect upon the employee even if other factors may also
have affected the employee.
(5) The Recipient or other legally responsible party designated by the Public Body will be financially
responsible for the application of these conditions and will make the necessary arrangements so that any
employee covered by these arrangements, or the union representative of such employee, may file claim of
violation of these arrangements with the Recipient within sixty (60) days of the date he is terminated or laid
off as a result of the Project, or within eighteen (18) months of the date his position with respect to his
employment is otherwise worsened as a result of the Project. In the latter case, if the events giving rise to
the claim have occurred over an extended period, the I8-month limitation shall be measured from the last
such event. No benefits shall be payable for any period prior to six (6) months from the date of the filing of
any claim.
(6) Nothing in this arrangement shall be construed as depriving any employee of any rights or benefits
which such employee may have under existing employment or collective bargaining agreements, nor shall
this arrangement be deemed a waiver of any rights or any union or of any represented employee derived
from any other agreement or provision of federal, state or local law.
(7) In the event any employee covered by these arrangements is terminated or laid off as a result of the
Project, he shall be granted priority of employment or reemployment to fill any vacant position within the
control of the Recipient for which he is, or by training or retraining within a reasonable period, can become
qualified. In the event training or retraining is required by such employment or reemployment, the
Recipient or other legally responsible party designated by the Public Body shall provide or provide for such
training or retraining at no cost to the employee.
EXHIBIT 10
(Page 4 of 6)
(8) The Recipient will post, in a prominent and accessible place, a notice stating that the Recipient has
received federal assistance under 49 D.S.C. Chapter 53 and has agreed to comply with the provisions of 49
D.S.C. Section 5333(b). This notice shall also specify the terms and conditions set forth herein for the
protection of employees. The Recipient shall maintain and keep on file all relevant books and records in
sufficient detail as to provide the basic information necessary to the proper application, administration, and
enforcement of these arrangements and to the proper determination of any claims arising thereunder.
(9) Any labor organization which is the collective bargaining representative of employees covered by
these arrangements, may become a party to these arrangements by serving written notice of its desire to do
so upon the recipient and the Department of Labor. In the event of any disagreement that such labor
organization represents covered employees, or is otherwise eligible to become a party to these
arrangements, as applied to the Project, the dispute as to whether such organization shall participate shall
be determined by the Secretary of Labor.
(10) In the event the Project is approved for assistance under 49 D.S.C. Chapter 53, the foregoing terms
and conditions shall be made part of the contract of assistance between the federal government and the
Public Body or Recipient of federal funds, provided, however, that this arrangement shall not merge into
the contract of assistance, but shall be independently binding and enforceable by and upon the parties
thereto, and by any covered employee or his representative, in accordance with its terms, nor shall any
other employee protective agreement merge into this arrangement, but each shall be independently binding
and enforceable by and upon the parties thereto, in accordance with its terms.
C. Waiver
As part of the grant approval process, either the Recipient or other legally responsible party designated by
the Public Body may in writing seek from the Secretary of Labor a waiver of the statutory required
protections. The Secretary will waive these protections in cases, where at the time of the requested waiver,
the Secretary determines that there are no employees of the Recipient or of any other surface public
transportation providers in the transportation service area who could be potentially affected by the Project.
A 30-day notice of proposed waiver will be given by the Department of Labor and in the absence of timely
objection, the waiver will become final at the end of the 30-day notice period. In the event of timely
objection, the Department of Labor will review the matter and determine whether a waiver shall be granted.
In the absence of waiver, these protections shall apply to the Project.
