the geographic area where the contract is being performed.Goals are published periodically in the Federal Register in notice form and
FPC-5
qr.1
EXHIBIT I FEDERAL CONTRACT PROVISIONS
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 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.

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 extensively 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 in such facilities.

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
therefore 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 areas 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 7.(b)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 newspaper,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.

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 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.

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

associations.
(p) Conduct a review,at least annually,of all supervisor's 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(7)(a)through (p). 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 any one or more of its obligations under(7)
(a)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 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).
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 Government contracts pursuant to
Executive Order 11246.

if any,employee identification number where 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 location 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 and 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).
E. Certification of Non-Segregated Facilities(Construction Contracts over$10,000)

members,as well as information about the manifestation of a disease or disorder in an individual's family members(i.e.,family
medical history).Family medical history is included in the definition of genetic information because it is often used to determine
whether someone has an increased risk of getting a disease,disorder,or condition in the future.

IX. FEDERAL LABOR STANDARDS PROVISIONS
(Davis-Bacon Act, Copeland Act, and Contract Works Hours&Safety Standards Act)
The Project to which the construction work covered by this contract pertains is being assisted by the United States of America
and the following Federal Labor Standards Provisions are included in this Contract pursuant to the provisions applicable to
such Federal assistance.
A. (1) (a) Minimum Wages. All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon 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),will be
paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account(except
such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act(29 CFR Part
3), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at
rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made
a part hereof,regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and such laborers
and mechanics. Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under Section 1(b)(2) of the
Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to
the provisions of 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv); also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but
not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs, which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be
constructively made or incurred during such weekly period.
Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the
classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in 29 CFR Part 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or
mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification
for the time actually worked therein; provided, that the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each
classification in which work is performed. The wage determination (including any additional classification and wage rates
conformed under 29 CFR Part 5.5(a)(1)(ii) and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH-1321) shall be posted at all times by the
contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily seen
by the workers.
(b) (i) Any class of laborers or mechanics which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed
under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination.HUD shall approve an additional classification
and wage rate and fringe benefits; therefore, only when the following criteria have been met:
(1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage
determination;and
(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry;and
(3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the
wage rates contained in the wage determination.
FPC- 11 C'
EXHIBIT I FEDERAL CONTRACT PROVISIONS
(ii) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their
representatives, and HUD or its designee agree on the classification and wage rate(including the amount designated
for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by HUD or its designee to the
Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, employment Standards Administration, U. S. Department of Labor,
Washington, D. C. 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove
every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise HUD or its designee or will notify HUD or
its designee within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary. (Approved by the Office of Management and
Budget under OMB control number 1215-0140.)
(iii) In the event that the Contractor, the laborers, or mechanics to be employed in the Classification or
their representatives, and HUD or its designee do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including
the amount designed for fringe benefits, where appropriate), HUD or its designee shall refer the questions, including
the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of HUD or its designee, to the Administrator for
determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt
and so advise HUD or its designee or will notify HUD or its designee within the 30-day period that the additional
time is necessary. (Approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB Control Number 215-0140.)
(iii) The wage rate(including fringe benefits where appropriate)determined pursuant to subparagraphs(b)(ii)or of
this paragraph, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this contract from the first day
on which work is performed in the classification.
(c) 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.
(d) 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. (Approved by the Office of Management and
Budget under OMB Control Number 1215-0140.)
(2) Withholding. HUD or its designee shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative
of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor under this contract or any other federal
contract with the same prime contractor, or any other Federally-assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage
requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be
considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees and helpers employed by the contractor
or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic,
including any apprentice,trainee or helper,employed or working on the site of the work(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
required by the contract, HUD, or its designee may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owners,
take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds
until such violations have ceased. HUD or its designee may, after written notice to the contractor, disburse such amounts
withheld for and on account of the contractor or subcontractor to the respective employees to whom they are due. The
Comptroller General shall make such disbursements in the case of direct Davis-Bacon Act contracts.
(3) (a) Payrolls and Basic Records. Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the contractor during
the course of the work preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site
of the work (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 any costs reasonably anticipated in
FPC-12
EXHIBIT I FEDERAL CONTRACT PROVISIONS
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. (Approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB Control
Numbers 1215-0140 and 1215-0017).
(b) (i)The contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any contract work is performed a copy of all
payrolls to HUD or its designee if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the
contractor will submit the payrolls to the applicant, sponsor, or owners, as the case may be, for transmission to
HUD or its designee.The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to
be maintained under 29 CFR Part 5.5(a)(3)(I).This information may be submitted in any form desired.Optional Form
WH-347 is available for this purpose and may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents (Federal
Stock Number 029-005-00014-1), U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. The prime contractor
is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors. (Approved by the Office of
Management and Budget under OMB Control Number 1215-0149).
(ii) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a "Statement of Compliance", signed by the contractor
or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons employed under the contract
and shall certify the following:
(1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be maintained under 29
CFR Part 5.5(a)(3)(I)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;
(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.

347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the "Statement of Compliance"required by paragraph A(3)(b)(ii)of
this section.
(iv) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or subcontractor to civil or
criminal prosecution under Section 1001 of Title 18 and Section 231 of Title 31 of the United States Code.

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 above, shall be paid not less than the
applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any
apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program, shall be
paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a
contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered,the
ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or
subcontractor's registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate
specified in the registered program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen
hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with
the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits,apprentices
must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the
Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be
paid in accordance with the 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.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.
(ii) Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee
program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage
determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship
program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less
than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and
participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than
the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In addition, any trainee
performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than
the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In the event the Employment
and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program the contract will no longer be permitted to utilize
trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.
(iii) Equal Employment Opportunity. The utilization of apprentices, trainees and journeymen under this part
shall be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246,as amended,and
29 CFR Part 30.
(5) Compliance with Copeland Act Requirements. The contractor shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR Part 3
which are incorporated by reference in this contract.
(6) Subcontracts.The contractor or subcontractor will insert in any subcontracts the clauses contained in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)
through (10) and such other clauses as HUD or its designee may by appropriate instructions require, and also a clause
requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contract shall be responsible
for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in 29 CFR Part 5.5.
(7) Contract Termination, Debarment. A breach of the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be grounds for termination
of the contract and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12.

Related Acts contained in 29 CFR Parts 1,3 and 5 are herein incorporated by referenced in this contract.
(9) Disputes Conceminq Labor Standards. Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this contract shall not
be subject to the general disputes clause of this contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures
of the Department of Labor(USDOL) set forth in 29 CFR Parts 5, 6 and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause include
disputes between the contractor(or any of its subcontractors) and HUD or its designee, the USDOL, or the employees or
their representatives.

years,or both."
(11) Complaints, Proceedings, or Testimony by Employees. No laborer or mechanic to whom the wage, salary, or other labor
standards provisions of this contract are applicable shall be discharged or in any other manner discriminated against by the
contractor or any subcontractor because such employee has filed any complaint or instituted or caused to be instituted any
proceeding or has testified or is about to testify in any proceeding under or relating to the labor standards applicable under this
contract to his employer.
B. Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. As used in the paragraph,the terms "laborers"and "mechanics"include
watchmen and guards.
(1) Overtime requirements.No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the contract work which may require or
involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which
he or she is employed on such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or mechanic receives
compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty hours
in such workweek.
(2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in

day on which such individual was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek of forty hours
without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in subparagraph(1)of this paragraph.
(3) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages. 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 any
moneys payable on account of work performed by the contractor or subcontractor under any such contract or any other
Federal contract with the same prime contract,or any other Federally-assisted contract subject to the Contract Work Hours
and Safety Standards Act , which is held by the same prime contractor such sums as may be determined to be

(3) The contractor shall include the provisions of this Article in every subcontract so that such provisions will be binding
on each subcontractor. The contractor shall take such action with respect to any subcontract as the Secretary of Housing
and Urban Development or the Secretary of Labor shall direct as a means of enforcing such provisions.
X. GUIDANCE TO CONTRACTOR FOR COMPLIANCE WITH LABOR STANDARDS PROVISIONS
A. Contracts with Two Wage Decisions
If the contract includes two wage decisions, the contractor, and each subcontractor who works on the site, must submit
either two separate payrolls (one for each wage decision) or one payroll which identifies each worker twice and the hours
worked under each wage decision.One single payroll, reflecting each worker once, may be submitted provided the Contractor
uses the higher rate in the wage decisions for each identical job classification. However, where a job classification is not
listed in a wage decision and is needed for that portion of the work, the classification must be added to the wage decision.
A worker may not be paid at the rate for a classification using the hourly rate for that same classification in another wage
decision. After the additional classification is approved, the contractor may pay the higher of the two rates and submit one
payroll, if desired.
B. Complying with Minimum Hourly Amounts
(1) The minimum hourly amount due to a worker in each classification is the total of the amounts in the "Rates" and
"Fringe Benefits" (if any) columns of the applicable wage decision.
(2) The contractor may satisfy this minimum hourly amount by any combination of cash and bona fide fringe benefits,
regardless of the individual amounts reflected in the"Rates"and"Fringe Benefits"columns.
(3) A contractor payment for a worker which is required by law is not a fringe benefit in meeting the minimum
hourly amount due under the applicable wage decision. For example, contractor payments for FICA or unemployment
insurance are not a fringe benefit; however, contractor payments for health insurance or retirement are a fringe benefit.
Generally,a fringe benefit is bona fide if(a) it is available to most workers and (b) involves payments to a third party.
(4) The hourly value of the fringe benefit is calculated by dividing the contractor's annual cost (excluding any amount
contributed by the worker)for the fringe benefit by 2080.Therefore,for workers with overtime, an additional payment may be
required to meet the minimum hourly wages since generally fringe benefits have no value for any time worked over 40
hours weekly. (If a worker is paid more than the minimum rates required by the wage decision, this should not be a
problem. As long as the total wages received by a worker for straight time equals the hours worked times the minimum
hourly rate in the wage decision,the requirement of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts has been satisfied.)
C. Overtime
For any project work over 40 hours weekly,a worker generally must be paid 150% of the actual hourly cash rate received, not
FPC- 16 C40
EXHIBIT I FEDERAL CONTRACT PROVISIONS
the minimum required by the wage decision. (The Davis-Bacon and related acts only establish minimum rates and does
not address overtime;the Contract Work Hours Act contains the overtime requirement and uses"basic rate of pay" as the base
for calculation, not the minimum rates established by the Davis-Bacon and related acts.)
D. Deductions
Workers who have deductions,not required by law,from their pay must authorize these deductions in writing. The authorization
must identify the purpose of each deduction and the amount, which may be a specific dollar amount or a percentage. A
copy of the authorization must be submitted with the first payroll containing the deduction. If deducted amounts increase,
another authorization must be submitted. If deducted amounts decrease, no revision to the original authorization is needed.
Court-ordered deductions, such as child support, may be identified by the responsible payroll person in a separate document.
This document should identify the worker, the amount deducted and the purpose.A copy of the court order should be submitted.
E. Classifications Not Included in the Wage Decision
If a classification not in the wage decision is required, please advise the owner's representative in writing, and identify the job
classification(s) required. In some instances, the State agency may allow the use of a similar classification in the wage
decision.
Otherwise, the contractor and affected workers must agree on a minimum rate, which cannot be lower than the lowest rate
for any trade in the wage decision. Laborers(including any subcategory of the laborer classification)and truck drivers are not
considered a trade for this purpose. If the classification involves a power equipment operator, the minimum cannot be lower
than the lowest rate for any power equipment operator in the wage decision. The owner will provide forms to document
agreement on the minimum rate by the affected workers and contractor.
The USDOL must approve the proposed classification and rate. The contractor may pay the proposed rate until the USDOL
makes a determination. Should the USDOL require a higher rate, the contractor must make wage restitution to the affected
worker(s)for all hours worked under the proposed rate.
F. Supervisory Personnel
Foremen and other supervisory personnel who spend at least 80% of their time supervising workers are not covered by the
Davis-Bacon and Related Acts. Therefore, a wage decision will not include such supervisory classifications and their wages
are not subject to any minimums under the Davis-Bacon and Related Act or overtime payments under the Contract Work
Hours and Safety Standards Act. However,foremen and other supervisory personnel who spend less than 80% of their
time engaged in supervisory activities are considered workers/mechanics for the time spent engaged in manual labor and must
be paid at least the minimum in the wage decision for the appropriate classification(s)based on the work performed.
G. Sole Proprietorships/Independent Contractors/ Leased Workers
The nature of the relationship between a prime contractor and a worker does not affect the requirement to comply with the
labor standards provisions of this contract. The applicability of the labor standards provisions is based on the nature of the
work performed.
If the work performed is primarily manual in nature, the worker is subject to the labor standards provisions in this contract.
For example, if John Smith is the owner of ABC Plumbing and performs all plumbing work himself, then Mr. Smith is
subject to the labor standards provisions, including minimum wages and overtime. His status as"owner"is irrelevant for labor
standards purposes.
If a worker meets the IRS standards for being an independent contractor,and is employed as such, this means that the worker
must submit a separate payroll as a subcontractor rather than be included on some other payroll. The worker is still subject
to the labor standards provisions in this contract, including minimum wages and overtime.
If a contractor or subcontractor leases its workers, they are subject to the labor standards provisions in this contract,
including minimum wages and overtime. The leasing firm must submit payrolls and these payrolls must reflect information
required to determine compliance with the labor standards provisions of this contract, including a classification for each
worker based on the nature of the work performed, number of regular hours worked,and number of overtime hours worked.
H. Apprentices/Helpers
A worker may be classified as an apprentice only if participating in a federal or state program. Documentation of
FPC- 17 Cq0
EXHIBIT I FEDERAL CONTRACT PROVISIONS
participation must be submitted. Generally, the apprentice program specifies that the apprentice will be compensated at a
percentage of the journeyman rate. For Davis-Bacon Act purposes, the hourly rate cannot be lower than the percentage
of the hourly rate for the classification in the applicable wage decision.
If the worker does not participate in a federal or state apprentice program, then the worker must be classified according to
duties performed.This procedure may require classification in the "trade"depending on tools used, or as a laborer if specialized
tools of the trade are not used. The contractor may want to consult with the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department
of Labor located in most large cities regarding the appropriate classification.
Presently, no worker may be classified as a "helper". As with apprentices not participating in a formal apprentice program,
the worker must be classified according to duties performed and tools used.

religious purposes which is supervised or controlled by or operates in connection with a
religious or denominational institution or organization.
A religious entity that applies for and is awarded CDBG/NSP funds for public service activities must
agree to the following:
1. It will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment on the basis of
religion and will not limit employment or give preference to persons on the basis of religion.
