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