I I I I I I I I 3. I I I I AUGUSTA HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT GENERAL CONDITIONS Project #: CDBG #2009R CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS 1. Pre-construction Conference and Notice to Proceed. A. After the Notice of Award has been issued, but prior to the contract execution, the Contractor shall attend a pre-construction conference with representatives of the Grant Recipient, Owner's AHCDD, its Architect, and other interested parties convened by Owner's AHCDD. The conference will serve to acquaint the participants with the general plan of the construction operation and all other requirements of the contract. Owner's AHCDD will provide all parties with the date, time, and place of the conference. B. The Contractor shall begin work upon receipt of a written Notice to Proceed from Owner's AHCDD. The Contractor shall not begin work prior to receiving such notice. Construction Progress Schedule. A. The Contractor shall, within three (3) business days after the pre-construction conference or another period of time determined by Owner's AHCDD, prepare and submit to Owner's 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, Owner's 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 Owner's AHCDD, and immediately deliver three copies of the annotated schedule to Owner's AHCDD. If Owner's 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 Owner's AHCDD, without additional cost to Owner's AHCDD or the Grant Recipient. In this circumstance, Owner's 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 Owner's AHCDD deems necessary to demonstrate how the approved rate of progress will be regained.

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. Page 402-4 AHCDD Form 402 (Rev. 05/07) I I I I I I I 4. I I I I I I I 5. I I I I I AUGUSTA HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT GENERAL CONDITIONS Project #: CDBG #2009R B. The Contractor acknowledges that he is satisfied as to the character, quality, and quantity of surface and sub-surface materials or obstacles to be encountered insofar as this information is reasonably ascertainable from an inspection of the site, including aU exploratory work done by Owner's AHCDD, as well as from any drawings and specifications made a part of this contract. 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 Owner's AHCDD or the Grant Recipient. C. Owner's AHCDD assumes no responsibility for any conclusions or interpretations made by the Contractor based on the information made available by Owner's AHCDD. Nor does Owner's 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. 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 Owner and the Architect of: (1.) (2.) subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site which differ from those indicated in this contract; or 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. Owner's 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 Owner's 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, Owner's 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 Owner's 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. 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 Owner's 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 Owner's AHCDD is intended. Similarly the words "approved," "acceptable," Page 402-5 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I .1 I AHCDD Form 402 (Rev. 05/07) AUGUSTA HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT GENERAL CONDITIONS Project #: CDBG #2009R "satisfactory," or like words shall mean "approved by," or "acceptable to," or "satisfactory to" Owner's AHCDD, unless otherwise expressly stated. 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. The word "provided" as used herein shall be understood to mean, "provide complete in place", that is "furnished and installed." D. "Shop drawings" means drawings, submitted to the Architect by the Contractor, subcontractor, or any lower tier subcontractor, showing in detail: (1.) the proposed fabrication and assembly of structural elements; and (2.) the installation (i.e., form, fit, and attachment details) of materials of equipment. It includes drawings, diagrams, layouts, schematics, descriptive literature, illustrations, schedules, performance and test data, and similar materials furnished by the Contractor to explain in detail specific portions of the work required by the contract. Owner's AHCDD may duplicate, use, and disclose in any manner and for any purpose shop drawings delivered under this contract. E. The Contractor shall submit to the Architect for approval one reproducible and one opaque copy (unless otherwise noted) and to AHCDD for record one opaque copy of all shop drawings as called for under the various headings of these specifications. Deliver the submittal by such method as to assure receipt within two days of sending. Notify the Architect via facsimile on the day the submittal is sent. F. 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 coorqination and review. Shop drawings submitted to the Architect without evidence of the Contractor's approval may be returned for re-submission. Owner's 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 Owner's 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 Owner's AHCDD concurs, Owner's 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 Owner's AHCDD, the Architect, and the Grant Recipient, and one set will be returned to the Contractor. As required by Owner's 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. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure that all shop drawings prepared by subcontractors are submitted to the Architect. Page 402-6 AHCDD Form 402 (Rev. 05/07) I I I I I I I 6. I I I I I I I I I I I I AUGUSTA HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT GENERAL CONDITIONS Project #: CDBG #2009R 7. K.

(3.) currently and readily available; not obsolete or discontinued; and not to be discontinued or deleted from the supplier or manufacturers stock within the next calendar year. L. Layouts and Floor Plans provided by Owner's AHCDD are diagrammatic only and are intended to illustrate the general intentions of Owner's AHCDD only. They do not show all the work required, exact dimensions, or construction details. As-Built Drawings. A. "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. 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 Owner's 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 Owner's 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 Owner's AHCDD, the Contractor shall also obtain Owner's 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. Machinery, equipment, material, and articles that do not have the required approval shall be installed or used at the risk of subsequent rejection. (2.) When required by the specifications or Owner's AHCDD, the Contractor shall submit appropriately marked .samples (and certificates related to them) for approval at the Contractor's expense, with all Page 402-7 AHCDD Form 402 (Rev. 05/07) I I I I I I I I I I I 8.

The Contractor shall label, or otherwise properly mark on the container, the material or product represented, its place of origin, the name of the producer, the Contractor's name, and the identification of the construction project for which the material or product is intended to be used. 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 Owner's AHCDD or the Grant Recipient's right to demand full compliance with contract requirements. Materials, equipment, and accessories may be rejected for cause even though samples have been approved. O. 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. Owner's 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 Owner's 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 approval, samples will be kept on the job site until completion of work. They may be built into the work after a substantial quantity of the materials they represent has been built in and accepted. F. Prohibition against use of lead-based paint.

D. Owner's AHCDD shall notify the Contractor of any non-compliance with these requirements and of the corrective action required. This notice, when delivered to the Contractor or the Contractor's representative at the site of the work, shall be deemed sufficient notice of the non-compliance and corrective action required. After receiving the notice, the Contractor shall immediately take corrective action. If the Contractor fails or refuses to take corrective action promptly, Owner's 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. The Contractor shall be responsible for his subcontractors' compliance with the provisions of this clause.

The Contractor, at its expense and in a manner satisfactory to Owner's AHCDD, shall install and maintain all necessary temporary connections and distribution lines, and all meters required to measure the amount of each utility used for the purpose of determining charges. Before final acceptance of the work by the Owner's AHCDD and the Grant Recipient, the Contractor shall remove all the temporary connections, distribution lines, meters, and associated paraphernalia. 12. Protection of Existing Vegetation, Structures, Equipment, Utilities, and Improvements. A. The Contractor shall preserve and protect all structures, equipment, and vegetation (such as trees, shrubs, and grass) on or adjacent to the work site, which are not to be removed under this contract, and which do not unreasonably interfere with the work required under this contract. Page 402-9 I I AHCDD Form 402 (Rev. 05/07) I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 13. AUGUSTA HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT GENERAL CONDITIONS Project #: COBG #2009R B. The Contractor shall only remove trees when specifically authorized to do so, and shall avoid damaging vegetation that will remain in place.

New work, which connects to existing work, shall correspond in all respects with that to which it connects and/or be similar to existing work unless otherwise required by the specifications. No structural members shall be altered or in any way weakened without the written authorization of Owner's AHCDD and the Architect, unless such work is clearly specified in the plans or specifications. If the removal of the existing work exposes discolored or unfinished surfaces, or work out of alignment, such surfaces shall be refinished, or the material replaced as necessary to make the continuous work uniform and harmonious. This, however, shall not be construed to require the refinishing or reconstruction of dissimilar finishes previously exposed, or finished surfaces in good condition, but in different planes or on different levels when brought together by the removal of intervening work, unless such refinishing or reconstruction is specified in the plans or specifications. The Contractor shall give all required notices to any adjoining or adjacent property Grant Recipient or other party before the commencement of any work. The Contractor shall indemnify and save harmless Owner's AHCDD, the Architect, and the Grant Recipient from any damages on account of settlement or the loss of lateral support of adjoining property, any damages from changes in topography affecting drainage, and from all loss or expense and all damages for which Owner's AHCDD, the Architect, or the Grant Recipient may become liable in consequence of such injury or damage to adjoining and adjacent structures and their premises.

The temporary buildings and utilities shall remain the property of the Contractor and shall be removed at the Contractor's expense upon completion of the work. With the written consent of Owner's AHCDD and the Grant Recipient, the buildings and utilities may be abandoned and need not be removed. B. The Contractor shall, as directed by Owner's AHCDD, use only established roadways, or use temporary roadways constructed by the Contractor when and as authorized by Owner's AHCDD. When materials are transported in prosecuting the work, vehicles shall not be loaded beyond the loading capacity recommended by the manufacturer of the vehicle or prescribed by any feder?l, state, or local law or regulation. When it is Page 402-10 I I AHCDD Form 402 (Rev. 05/07) I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I AUGUSTA HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT GENERAL CONDITIONS Project #: CDBG #2009R necessary to cross curbs or sidewalks, the Contractor shall protect them from damage. The Contractor shall repair or pay for the repair of any damaged curbs, sidewalks, or roads. 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 Act"), 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 Owner's 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; 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, (3.) (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 Owner's AHCDD by which Owner's AHCDD and the Architect approve and the Grant Recipient 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 Owner's 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 Owner's AHCDD requires the contractor to work overtime, on weekends or on holidays, the contractor must first notify Owner's AHCDD in writing of the overtime schedule. If Owner's AHCDD determines it necessary t6 have Owner's AHCDD or Architect staff present or on call during the contractor's overtime, the contractor shall reimburse Owner's AHCDD or the Architect for the staff Page 402-11 I I AHCDD Form 402 (Rev. 05/07) I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I AUGUSTA HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT GENERAL CONDITIONS Project #: CDBG #2009R costs at time and half the regular staff rate. Should the contractor fail to reimburse Owner's AHCDD by the next progress payment requested by the contractor, Owner's AHCDD shall deduct such reimbursement from the contractor's next progress payment. C. Owner's AHCDD and Architect inspections and tests are for the benefit of Owner's AHCDD and the Grant Recipient and do not: (1.) (2.) (3.) (4.) relieve the Contractor of responsibility for providing adequate quality control measures; relieve the Contractor of responsibility for loss or damaged material before acceptance; constitute or imply acceptance; or, affect the continuing rights of the Grant Recipient after acceptance of the completed work under paragraph J below. D. The presence or absence of Owner's 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 Owner's 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 Owner's AHCDD. Owner's 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. Owner's 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. Owner's 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 Owner's AHCDD or the Architect not to conform to contract requirements, unless Owner's AHCDD decides that it is in their interest or that of the Grant Recipient 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, Owner's 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 Owner's AHCDD, it must, if requested by Owner's AHCDD, be uncovered at the expense of the Contractor. If at any time before final acceptance of the entire work, Owner's 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, Owner's 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 Owner's 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 Owner's AHCDD and the Architect determine that the state of preparedness is as represented, the inspection will be completed promf?tly. Unless otherwise specified in the contract, Owner's AHCDD shall accept, as soon as Page 402-12 AHCDD Form 402 (Rev. 05/07) 1 1 1 1 1 1 I 1 I 1 117. 1 1 I 1 1 1 1 1 AUGUSTA HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT GENERAL CONDITIONS Project #: COBG #2009R practicable after completion and inspection, all work required by the contract or that portion of the work Owner's 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 Grant Recipient's right under any warranty or guarantee. K. Use and Possession Prior to Completion. L. The Grant Recipient 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 Grant Recipient 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 Grant Recipient's possession or use shall not be deemed an acceptance of any work under the contract. M. While the Grant Recipient 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 Grant Recipient's possession or use, notwithstanding the terms of the "Permits, Licenses, and Codes" clause of this contract; all maintenance costs on the areas occupied; and, furnishing heat, light, power, and water used in the areas occupied without proper remuneration. (2.) (3.) N. If prior possession or use by the Grant Recipient 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. Warranty of Title. 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. 18. Warranty of 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 Grant Recipient 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 Grant Recipient 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 Grant Recipient's owned or controlled real or personal property when the damage is the result of: (1.) (2.) the Contractor's failure to conform to contract requirements; or 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. Page 402-13 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 1. I I 2. I I I AHCDD Form 402 (Rev. 05/07) AUGUSTA HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT GENERAL CONDITIONS Project #: CDBG #2009R D. The Grant Recipient 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. 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.) (2.) (3.) obtain all warranties that would be given in normal commercial practice; require all warranties to be executed in writing, for the benefit of the Grant Recipient; and, enforce all warranties for the benefit of the Grant Recipient. G. In the event the Contractor's warranty under this clause has expired, the Grant Recipient 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 Grant Recipient, nor for the repair of any damage that results from any defect in Grant Recipient 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 Grant Recipient's rights under the "Inspection and Acceptance of Construction" clause of this contract with respect to latent defects, gross mistakes or fraud. 19. 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. ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS 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. 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. Page 402-14 AHCDD Form 402 (Rev. 05/07) I I I 3. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I AUGUSTA HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT GENERAL CONDITIONS Project #: CDBG #2009R Payments to Contractor. A. Payments to the Contractor will be made by AHCDD on behalf of the Grant Recipient. AHCDD shall pay the Contractor the price as provided in this contract. 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. Before the first progress payment under this contract, the Contractor shall fumish, 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. 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 Grant Recipient 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. The AHCDD payment request shall include the following certification, which shall be signed by the Contractor, or payment shall not be made: B. C. D. E. F. "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." 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.) (2.) it has acquired title to such material; the material is properly stored in a bonded warehouse, storage yard, or similar suitable place as may be approved by AHCDD; .the material is insured to cover its full value; and (3.) Page 402-15 AHCDD Form 402 (Rev. 05/07) . I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 4. I I AUGUSTA HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT GENERAL CONDITIONS Project #: CDBG #2009R (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 Grant Recipient's interest in such materials. The Contractor shall remain responsible for such stored material notwithstanding the transfer of title to the Grant Recipient. I. All material and work covered by progress payments made shall, at the time of payment become the sole property of the Grant Recipient, 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, waiving the right of the Grant Recipient to require the fulfillment of all of the terms of the contract. (2.) 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 Grant Recipient in the course of their employment, the Contractor shall restore such damaged work without cost to AHCDD or the Grant Recipient 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.) (2.) completion and final acceptance of all work; and presentation of release of all claims against AHCDD or the Grant Recipient 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. 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. Contract Modifications. A. Only AHCDD has authority to modify any term or condition of this contract. Any contract modification shall be authorized in writing. Page 402-16 . I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I AHCDD Form 402 (Rev. 05/07) AUGUSTA HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT GENERAL CONDITIONS Project #: CDBG #2009R 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 Grant Recipient. 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 Grant Recipient'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.) Grant Recipient 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 sh'all be treated as a change order; provided, that the Contractor gives AHCDD written 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 Contractorro.an- equitable adjustment. 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 8 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 8 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 8 above. No proposal by the Contractor for an equitable adjustment shall be allowed if asserted after final payment under this contract. Page 402-17 AHCDD Form 402 (Rev. 05/07) - I I I I I I I I I I I I I 6. I I I I I I AUGUSTA HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT GENERAL CONDITIONS Project #: CDBG #2009R 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 FUTA; 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. 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. 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. . AHCDD shall act on proposals within 30 days after their receipt, or notify the Contractor of the date when such action will be taken. 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. Except in an emergency endangering life or property, no change shall be made by the Contractor without a prior order from AHCDD. H. I. J. K. L. 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 Grant Recipient. B. If the performance of all or any part of the work is, for an unreasonable period of time, suspended, delayed, or interrupted: (1.) (2.) By an act of AHCDD in the administration of this contract; or 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.

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, 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. (2.) 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 fora written decision. A claim by the Grant Recipient against the Contractor shall be subject to a written decision by AHCDD. All claims by the Contractor shall be made in writing and submitted to AHCDD 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: (1.) appeals in writing to the AHCDD Director in accordance with AHCDD's policies and procedures; (2.) refers the appeal to the County Administrator for independent mediation or arbitration in accordance with AHCDD's policies and procedures; or (3.) 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. 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: Page 402-19 - I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I AHCDD Form 402 (Rev. 05/07) AUGUSTA HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT GENERAL CONDITIONS Project #: COBG #2009R (1.)

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. C. 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 Grant Recipient 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 Grant Recipient against loss. O. 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.) acts of God, or of the public enemy; (2.) acts of the Grant Recipient, AHCDD, or other governmental entity in either its sovereign or contractua.l capacity; (3.) acts of another contractor in the performance of a contract with AHCDD or the Grant Recipient; Page 402-20 AHCDD Form 402 (Rev. 05/07) .

(11.) 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 Grant Recipient. 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. To the extent that the Contractor's delay or nonperformance is excused under another clause in this contract, liquidated damages shall not be due the Grant Recipient. The Contractor remains liable for damages caused other than by delay. B. If AHCDD terminates the Contractor's right to proceed, the resulting damage will consist of liquidated damages until such reasonable time as may be required for final completion of the work together with any increased costs occasioned AHCDD in completing the work. C. If AHCDD does not terminate the Contractor's right to proceed, the resulting damage will consist of liquidated damages until the work is completed or accepted. Termination for Convenience. A. AHCDD may terminate this contract in whole, or in part, whenever AHCDD determines that such termination is in the best interest of AHCDD and the Grant Recipient. Any such termination shall be effected by delivery to the Contractor of a Notice of Termination specifying the extent to which the performance of the work under the contract is terminated, and the date upon which such termination becomes effective. B. If the performance of the work is terminated, either in whole or in part, AHCDD and the Grant Recipient shall be liable to the Contractor for reasonable and proper costs resulting from such termination upon the receipt by AHCDD of a properly presented claim setting out in detail: (1.) the total cost of the work performed to date of termination less the total amount of contract payments made to the Contractor; Page 402-21 - I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I AHCDD Form 402 (Rev. 05/07) AUGUSTA HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT GENERAL CONDITIONS Project #: COBG #2009R (2.) the cost (including reasonable profit) of settling and paying claims under subcontracts and material orders for work performed and materials and supplies delivered to the site, payment for which has not been made by AHCDD to the Contractor or by the Contractor to the subcontractor or supplier; (3.) the cost of preserving and protecting the work already performed until the Grant Recipient or assignee takes possession thereof or assumes responsibility therefor; (4.) the actual or estimated cost of legal and accounting services reasonably necessary to prepare and present the termination claim to AHCDD; and (5.) an amount constituting a reasonable profit on the value of the work performed by the Contractor.

The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination; (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. C. 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, Employee Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC 2021 D.

F. 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. 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 1 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 (or, under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949, in the construction or development of the project), all or part of the wages req\Jired by the contract, HUD or its designee may, after written notice to the Contractor, take such action as 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. 24. Payrolls and basic records. A. Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the Contractor during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work (or, under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949, in the construction or development of the project). 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 1 (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 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 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. B. The Contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any contract work is performed a copy of all payrolls to AHCDD 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 subparagraph C (1) of this clause.

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. O. 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 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 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 Page 402-30 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 25.

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. 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 in 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 in 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 the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate in the wage determination for the classification of 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 in 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.

(c) Owner and its contractors must make a good faith effort to provide, to the greatest extent feasible, training and employment to lower income residents of the unit of local government in connection with the work on an assisted project. In filling vacancies, Page 404-3 I I AHCDD Form 404 (Rev 12/08) I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I AUGUSTA HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT ADDITIONAL SUPPLEMENTAL CONDITIONS Project #: COBG #2009R Owner and its contractors may prominently post notices at the project site and in the Owner Office and may contact resident councils and resident management corporations, in addition to their other recruitment efforts, to meet the requirements of Section 3. (d) Owner and its contractors must make a good faith effort to award contracts, to the greatest extent feasible, to businesses located in or owned in substantial part by persons residing in the City of Augusta. In meeting this requirement (e) Owner should consider use of the alternative procurement procedures at 24 CFR Part 963. See paragraph 6 below. 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. (f) 6. Resident-Owned Business. A. HUD issued a final rule at 24 CFR Part 963 which allows 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 5, HUD strongly encourages 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 Owner contracts to resident-owned businesses that are capable of performing successfully under a proposed Owner contract at a reasonable price. B. The alternative procurement process under 24 CFR 963 is as follows: (1) Owner prepares an independent cost estimate for the procurement. (2) Owner selects the appropriate method of procurement (small purchase, sealed bidding, competitive proposals, or noncompetitive proposals). (3) Owner solicits a quotation or offer from one or more resident-owned business. (4) 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) 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.

I I I I I I I I I I I AHCDD Form 404 (Rev 12/08) AUGUSTA HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT ADDITIONAL SUPPLEMENTAL CONDITIONS CDBG #2009R Project #: (5) 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) Owner documents the procurement file and complies with all other applicable procurement requirements of 24 CFR 85.36 or 24 CFR 905. 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 qualify. Additionally, each contractor must, to the greatest extent feasible, hire a Section 3 eligible resident when a new hire possibility occurs. 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 owner 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). An award shall be made to the qualified Section 3 business concern with the highest priority ranking and with the lowest responsive bid if that bid: (1) Is within the maximum total contract price established in the contracting party's budget for the specific project for which bids are being taken: and (2) Is not more than "X" higher than the total bid price of the lowest responsive bid from any responsible bidder. "X" is determined as follows: Page 404-5 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I AHCDD Form 404 (Rev 12/08) AUGUSTA HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT ADDITIONAL SUPPLEMENTAL CONDITIONS Project #: CDBG #2009R (3) 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. If no responsive bid by a Section 3 business concern meets the requirements of paragraph A. (1) of this Section, the contract shall be awarded to a responsible bidder with the lowest responsive bid. . IMMIGRATION REFORM AND CONTROL ACT OF 1986 COMPLIANCE The law seeks to preserve jobs for those who are legally entitled to them: American citizens and aliens who are authorized to work in the United States.

As a result of this law, all employers are required to verify both the identity and employment eligibility of all regular, temporary, casual, and student employees hired after November 6, 1986, and complete and retain a one-page form (1-9) documenting this verification. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in both civil and criminal liability with the imposition of substantial fines ranging from $100.00 to $1,000.00 per hire, as well as possible imprisonment for a pattern or practice of noncompliance. . GEORGIA SECURITY AND IMMIGRATION COMPLIANCE ACT OF 2006 COMPLIANCE (O.C.G.A.

The Offeror's or Bidder's attention is called to the "Equal Opportunity Clause" and the "Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Construction Contract Specifications" set forth herein. 2. The goals and timetables for minority and female participation, expressed in percentage terms for the Contractor's aggregate workforce in each trade on all construction work in the covered area, are as follows: 1 1 I' Appendix A I The following goals timetables for female utilization shall be included in all Federal and federally assisted construction contracts and subcontracts in excess of $10,000. The goals are applicable to the contractor's aggregate onsite construction workforce whether or not part of that workforce is performing work on a Federal or federally assisted construction contract or subcontract. 1 1 I Timetable Goals 1 4/1/78 to 3/31/79 3.1 4/1/78 - 3/31/80 5.0 4/1/80 - 3/31/81 6.9 1 Goals for Women apply nationwide. 1 1 RULES AND REGULATIONS Appendix B SEE CHANGES IN APPENDIX B. PURSUANT TO OFCCP REGULATIONS, 41 CFR PART 60-4 FOllOWING LAST PAGE OF THIS REGULATION. These goals are applicable to al the Contractor's construction work (whether or not it is Federal or federally assisted) performed in the covered area. The Contractor's compliance with the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4 shall be based on its implementation of the Equal Opportunity Clause, specific affirmative action obligations required by the specifications set forth in 41 CFR 60-4.3 (a), and its efforts to meet the goals established for the geographical area where the contract resulting from this solicitation is to be performed. The hours of minority and female employment and training must be substantially uniform throughout the length of the contract, and in each trade, and the contractor shall make a good faith effort to employ minorities and women evenly on each of its projects. The transfer of minority or female employees or trainees from Contractor to Contractor or from project to project for the sole purpose of meeting the Contractor's goals shall be a vioiation of the contract, the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4. Compliance with the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed. 3. The Contractor shall provide written notification to the Director of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs within 10 working days of award of any construction subcontract in excess of $10,000 at any tier for construction work under the contract resulting from this solicitation. The notification shall list the name, address and telephone number of the subcontractor; employer identification number; estimated dollar amount of the subcontract; estimated starting and completion' dates of the subcontract; and the geographical area in which the contract is to be performed. 4. As used in this Notice, and in the contract resulting from this solicitation, the "covered area" is within the city limits or adjacent thereunto of Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia. ~ 60-4.3 Equal opportunity clauses (a) The equal opportunity clause published at 41 CFR 60-1.4(a) of this chapter is required to be included in, and is part of, all nonexempt Federal contracts and subcontracts, including construction contracts and subcontracts. The equal opportunity clause published at 41 CFR 60-1.4(b) is required to be included in, and is a part of, all nonexempt federally assisted construction contracts and subcontracts. In addition to the clauses described above, all Federal contracting officers, all applicants and all nonconstruction contractors, as applicable, shall include the specifications set forth in this section in all Federal and federally assisted construction contracts in excess of $10,000 to be performed in geographical areas designated by the Director pursuant to Sec. 60- 4.6 of this part and in construction subcontracts in excess of $1 0,000 necessary in whole or in part to the performance of non construction Federal contracts and subcontracts covered under the Executive order. Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Construction Contract Specifications (Executive Order 11246) 1. As used in these specifications: a. "Covered area" means the geographical area described in the solicitation from which this contract resulted; b. "Director" means Director, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, United States Department of Labor, or any person to whom the Director delegates authority; c. "Employer identification number" means the Federal Social Security number used on the Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Retum, U.S. Treasury Department Form 941. d. "Minority" includes: (i) Black (all persons having origins in any of the Black African racial groups not of Hispanic origin); (ii) Hispanic (all persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American or other Spanish Culture or origin, regardless of race); (i1i) Asian and Pacific Islander (all persons having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands); and (iv) American Indian or Alaskan Native (all persons having origins in any of the original peoples of North America and maintaining identifiable tribal affiliations through membership and participation or community identification). 2. Whenever the Contractor, or any Subcontractor at any tier, subcontracts a portion of the work involving any construction trade, it shall physically include in each subcontract in excess of $10,000 the provisions of these specifications and the Notice which contains the applicable goals for minority and female participation and which is set forth in the solicitations from which this contract resulted. 3. If the Contractor is participating (pursuant to 41 CFR 60-4.5) in a Hometown Plan approved by the U.S. Department of Labor in the covered area either individualiy or through an association,. its affirmative action obligations on ali work in the Plan area (including goals and 1 Page 412-2 AUGUSTA HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AFFIRMATIVE ACTION GOALS & TIMETABLE I AHCDD Form 412 1 Project #: 1 timetables) shall be in accordance with that Plan for those trades which have unions participating in the Plan. Contractors must be able to demonstrate their participation in and compliance with the provisions of any such Hometown Plan. Each Contractor or Subcontractor participating in an approved Plan is individually required to comply with its obligations under the EEO clause, and to make a good faith effort to achieve each goal under the Plan in each trade in which it has employees. The overall good faith performance by other Contractors or Subcontractors toward a goal in an approved Plan does not excuse any covered Contractor's or Subcontractor's failure to take good faith efforts to achieve the Plan goals and timetables. 4. The Contractor shall implement the specific affirmative action standards provided in paragraphs 7 a through p ofthese specifications. The goals set forth in the solicitation from which this contract resulted are expressed as percentages of the total hours of employment and training of minority and female utilization the Contractor should reasonably be able to achieve in each construction trade in which It has employees in the covered area. Covered Construction contractors performing construction work in geographical areas where they do not have a Federal or federally assisted constuction contract shall apply the minority and female goals established for the geographical area where the work is being performed. Goals are published periodically in the Federal Register in notice form, and such notices may be obtained from any Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs office or from Federal procurement contracting officers. The Contractor is expected to make substantially uniform progress in meeting its goals in each craft during the period specified. 5. Neither the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement, nor the failure by a union with whom the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement, to refer either minorities or women shall excuse the Contractor's obligations under these specifications, Executive Order 11246, or the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto. 6. In order for the nonworking training hours of apprentices and trainees to be counted in meeting the goals, such apprentices and trainees must be employed by the Contractor during the training period, and the Contractor must have made a commitment to employ the apprentices and trainees at the completion of their training, subject to the availability of employment opportunities. Trainees must be trained pursuant to training programs approved by the U.S. Department of Labor. 7. The Contractor shall take specific affirmative actions to ensure equal employment opportunity. The evaluation of the Contractor's compliance with these specifications shall be based upon its effort to achieve maximum results from its actions. The Contractor shall document these efforts fully, and shall implement affirmative action steps at least as extensive as the following: a. Ensure and maintain a working environment free of harassment, intimidation, and coercion at all sites, and in all facilities at which the Contractor's employees are assigned to work. The Contractor, where possible, will assign two or more women to each construction project. The Contractor shall specifically ensure that all foremen, superintendents, and other on-site supervisory personnel are aware of and carry out the Contractor's obligation to maintain such a working environment, with specific attention to minority or female individuals working at such sites or in such facilities. 1 I 1 I 1 1 1 1 1 1 I 1 1 I 1 b. Establish and maintain a current list of minority and female recruitment sources, provide written notification to minority and female recruitment sources and to community organizations when the Contractor or its unions have employment opportunities available, and maintain a record of the organizations' responses. c. Maintain a current file of the names, addresses and telephone numbers of each minority and female off-the-street applicant and minority or female referral from a union, a recruitment source or community organization and of what action was taken with respect to each such individual. If such individual was sent to the union hiring hall for referral and was not referred back to the Contractor by the union or, if referred, not employed by the Contractor, this shall be documented in the file with the reason therefor, along with whatever additional actions the Contractor may have taken. d. Provide immediate written notification to the Director when the union or unions with which the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement has not referred to the Contractor a minority person or woman sent by the Contractor, or when the Contractor has other information that the union referral process has impeded the Contractor's efforts to meet its obligations. e. Develop on-the-job training opportunities and/or participate in training programs for the area which expressly include minorities and women, including upgrading programs and apprenticeship and trainee programs relevant to the Contractor's employment needs, especially those programs funded or approved by the Department of Labor. The Contractor shall provide notice of these programs to the sources compiled under 7b above. f. Disseminate the Contractor's EEO policy by providing notice of the policy to unions and training programs and requesting their cooperation in assisting the Contractor in meeting its EEO obligations; by including it in any policy manual and collective bargaining agreement; by publicizing it in the company newpaper, annual report, etc.; by specific review of the policy with all management personnel and with all minority and female employees at least once a year; and by posting the company EEO policy on bulletin boards accessible to all employees at each location where construction work is performed. g. Review, at least annually, the company's EEO policy and affirmative action obligations under these specifications with all employees having any responsibility for hiring, assignment. layoff, termination or other employment decisions including specific review of these items with on site supervisory personnel such as Superintendents, General Foremen, etc., prior to the initiation of construction work at any job site. A written record shall be made and maintained identifying the time and place of these meetings, persons attending, subject matter discussed, and disposition of the subject matter. h. Disseminate the Contractor's EEO policy externally by including it in any advertising in the news media, specifically including minority' and female news media, and providing written notification to and discussing the Contractor's EEO policy with other Contractors and Subcontractors with whom the Contractor does or anticipates doing business. i. Direct its recruitment efforts, both oral and written, to minority, female and community organizations, to schoois with minority and female students and to minority and female recruitment and training organizations serving the Contractor's recruitment area and employment needs. Not later than one month prior to the date for the acceptance of applications for apprenticeship or other training by any recruitment source, the Contractor shall send written notification to organizations such as the above, describing the openings, screening procedures, and tests to be used in the selection process. j. Encourage present minority and female employees to recruit other minority persons and women and, where reasonable, provide after school, summer and vacation employment to minority and female youth both on the site and in other areas of a Contractor's work force. k. Validate all tests and other selection requirements where there is an obligation to do so under 41 CFR Part 60-3. I. Conduct, at least annually, an inventory and evaluation at least of all minority and female personnel for promotional opportunities and encourage these employees to seek or to prepare for, through appropriate training, etc., such opportunities. m. Ensure that seniority practices, job classifications, work assignments and other personnel practices, do not have a discriminatory effect by continually monitoring all personnel and employment related activities to ensure that the EEO policy and the Contractor's obligations under these specifications are being carried out. n. Ensure that all facilities and company activities are nonsegregated except that separate or single-user toilet and necessary changing facilities shall be provided to. assure privacy between the sexes. o. Document and maintain a record of all solicitations of offers for subcontracts from minority and female construction contractors and suppliers, including circulation of solicitations to minority and female contractor associations and other business associations. p. Conduct a review, at least annually, of all supervisors' adherence to and performance under the Contractor's EEO policies and affirmative action obligations. 8. Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations which assist in fulfilling one or more of their affirmative action obligations (7a through pl. The efforts of a contractor association, joint contractor-union, contractor-community, or other similar group of which the contractor is a member and participant, may be asserted as fulfilling anyone or more of its obligations under 7a through p of these Specifications provided that the contractor actively participates In the group, makes every effort to assure that the group has a positive impact on the employment of minorities and women in the Industry, ensures that the concrete benefits of the program are reflected in the Contractor's minority and female workforce participation, makes a good faith effort to meet its individual goals and timetables, and can provide access to documentation which demonstrates the effectiveness of actions taken on behalf of the Contractor. The obligation to comply, however, is the Contractor's and failure of such a group to fulfill an obligation shall not be a defense for the Contractor's noncompliance. 9. A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been established. The Contractor, however, is required to provide equal employment opportunity and to take affirmative action for all minority groups, both male and female, and all women, both minority and non-minority. Consequently, the Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a particular group is employed in a substantially disparate manner (for example, even though the Contractor has achieved its goals for women generally, the Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a specific minority group of women is underutilized). 1 I AHCDO Form 412 AUGUSTA HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AFFIRMATIVE ACTION GOALS & TIMETABLE Project #: I 1 10. The Contractor shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative action standards to discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. 11. The Contractor shall not enter into any Subcontract with any person or firm debarred from Govemment contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246. 12. The Contractor shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of these specifications and of the Equal Opportunity Clause, including suspension, termination and cancellation of existing subcontracts as may be imposed or ordered pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and its implementing regulations, by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. Any Contractor who fails to carry out such sanctions and penalties shall be in violation of these specifications and Executive Order 11246, as amended. 13. The Contractor, in fulfilling its obligations under these specifications, shall implement specific affirmative action steps, at least as extensive as those standards prescribed in paragraph 7 of these specifications, so as to achieve maximum results from its efforts to ensure equal employment opportunity. If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of the Executive Order, the implementing regulations, or these specifications, the Director shall proceed in accordance with 41 CFR 60-4.8. 14. The Contractor shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment related activity to ensure that the company EEO policy is being carried out, to submit reports relating to the provisions hereof as may be required by the Government and to keep records. Records shall at least include for each employee the name, address, telephone numbers, construction trade, union affiliation if any, employee identification number when assigned, social security number, race, sex, status (e.g., mechanic, apprentice trainee, helper, or laborer), dates of changes in status, hours worked per week in the indicated trade, rate of pay, and locations at which the work was performed. Records shall be maintained in an easily understandable and retrievable form; however, to the degree that existing records satisfy this requirement, contractors shall not be required to maintain separate records. 15. Nothing herein provided shall be construed as a limitation upon the application of other laws which establish different standards of compliance or upon the application of requirements for the hiring of local or other area residents (e.g., those under the Public Works Employment Act of 1977 and the Community Development Block Grant Program). (b) The notice set forth in 41 CFR 60-4.2 and the specifications set forth in 41 CFR 60-4.3 replace the New Form for Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Bid Conditions for Federal and Federally Assisted Construction published at 41 FR 32482 and commonly known as the Model Federal EEO Bid Conditions, and the New Form shall not be used after the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4 become effective. I 1 I I I 1 I I 1 I I I I I I I I I I I Until further notice, the following goals for minority utilization in each construction craft and trade shall be included in all Federal or federally assisted construction contracts and subcontracts in excess of $10,000 to be performed in the respective geographical areas. The goals are applicable to each nonexempt contractor's I total onsite construction workforce, regardless of whether or not part of that workforce is performing work on a Federal, federally assisted or nonfederally related project, contract or subcontract.
