Introduction Prospective CDBG contractors should carefully consider whether any of their activities may give rise to an improper conflict of interest situation. Conflict of interest situations that are not properly addressed can result in a loss of CDBG funding to the program and/or to the city, and in some cases can result in civil or criminal liability. Organizations that are requesting CDBG funding should ask themselves the following questions: Are any of my employees or board members, ■ A city employee or consultant who exercises CDBG- related functions as part of their city position? • A City Official? Are any immediate family members or business associates of my employees or beard members, • A city employee or consultant who exercises CDBG- related functions as part of their city position? ■ A City Official? Will any of my employees or board members receive a financial interest or benefit from CDBG funds (other than employee salaries or personnel benefits)? Will any immediate family members or business associates of my employees or board members receive a financial interest or benefit from CDBG funds (other than employee salaries or personnel benefits)? To my knowledge, will my program or project have a financial effect on a city official or employee wo exercises CDBG-related functions, or an immediate family member or business associate of such person? For Exhibit "A" example, will any of these persons be receiving rental payments, other business income or program services from my program? If you can answer "yes" to any of these questions, it is possible that there may be a conflict of interest. You should review the rules below to determine whether an actual conflict situation is raised, and, if so, what action needs to be taken to avoid a violation of the law. You should contact city staff immediately if you suspect that there might be an issue. Any contractor entering into an agreement with the City in which CDBG funding will be utilized, will be required to warrant, and represent,to the best of his/her knowledge at the time the contract is executed, he/she is not aware of any improper conflict of interest as described below. Also, the contract will obligate contractors to exercise due diligence to ensure that no improper conflict situations occur during the contract. The following Federal and State Conflict of Interest laws govern activities funded with CDBG funds: • HUD conflict of interest regulations(24 CFR Part 570.611 and 24 CFR Part 85.36) • Texas Local Government Code Chapter 171.004 II. City Officials,Their Family,or Business Partners Benefittinst from CDBG Pro ects. HUD Rule. The HUD conflict of interest rule prohibits any "covered Person" associated with the City (as defined below) from obtaining a financial interest or benefit from a CDBG assisted activity or contract, of the proceeds under any such contract, during that covered person's tenure with the City and for one year thereafter. A "covered person" is defined by HUD as any employee, agent,consultant,officer,or elected or appointed official of the City who, with respect to CDBG-funded activities under the contract: (a) exercises or has exercised any functions or responsibilities; or, (b) is in a position to participate in a decision-making process; or, (c) is in a position to gain inside information. City staff members or consultants who exercise the above roles or function with respect to the CDBG activity are considered "covered persons." For purposes of the CDBG program, a "covered person" specifically includes Exhibit "A" any member of the Round Rock City Council, or any director of any board associated with reviewing and making recommendations on the funding for the contract,whether or not that council member or director actually participated in the review or recommendation. "Covered person" may also include member of other City boards and commissions, if that board or commission has exercised functions or decision-making with respect to the CDBG activity. The HUD rule further prohibits anyone with "family or business ties" to the covered public official from receiving a financial interest or benefit. State Law. State law requires a local public official with substantial interest in a business entity or in real property, to file, before a vote or decision on any matter involving the business entity or the real property, an affidavit stating the nature of the extent of the interest. The state law required that any public official of the City, should publicly recuse him/herself from participating in any discussions relating to the CDBG grant-making process. Failure of the person to recuse him/herself before the discussions begin may disqualify the organization's application for funds. Interests of Persons associated with the contractor. The HUD rule also addresses financial interests that are held by certain persons associated with a CDBG contractor. The HUD rule prohibits any "covered person" associated with the contractor from obtaining a financial interest or benefit(with the exception of the use of CDBG funds to pay salaries and other related administrative and personnel costs)from a CDBG assisted activity or contract, or the proceeds under any such contract,during that covered person's tenure with the contactor and for one year thereafter. A "covered person" is defined by HUD as any employee, agent, consultant, officer, or elected or appointed official of the contractor who, with respect to CDBG-funded activities under the contract: (a) exercises or has exercised any functions or responsibilities; or (b) is in a position to participate in a decision-making process; or (c) is in a position to gain inside information. This rule extends to those with Exhibit "A" whom the covered person has "family or business ties" (as defined above). This rule would, for example, prohibit certain employees or directors of a CDBG contractor from using CDBG funds to pay for rent on a property owned by that employee or director, as well as family and business associates of that person. IV. Remedies and Sanctions. The CDBG grant contract provides that if a CDBG contractor fails to make a good faith effort to avoid an improper conflict of interest situation or is responsible for the improper conflict situation, the City may (1) suspend CDBG payments, (2) terminate the contract, (3) require reimbursement by the contractor to the City of HUD of any amounts already disbursed and/or (4) bar future CDBG funding of the contractor in the event HUD suspends or terminates its rant to the city for conflict of interest reasons, or in the event the city reasonably determines that an improper conflict of interest situation may arise from payments under the contract. This could happen whether or not the contractor is responsible for the conflict-of-interest situation.

The contract administrator also monitors labor standards compliance(see Section 12,Payroll Compliance Reviews and Correc tions,In the Agency Guide)by conducting interviews with construction workers at the job site and reviewing payroll reports,and oversees any enforcement actions that may be required. The contract admin strator could be an employee or agent of HUD,or of a city or county or public housing agency.For HUD protects admin- istered directly by HUD staff,usually FHA-insured multifamily projects, the contract administrator will be the HUD Labor Standards field staff.

If this contract is covered by the E0, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick Leave for every 39 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick Leave each year. Employees must be permitted to use paid sick Leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a famiLy member (or person who is Like famiLy to the employee) who is iLL, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a famiLy member (or person who is Exhibit "A" Like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic vioLence, sexual assault, or stalking.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications Listed may be added after award only as provided in the Labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)). ---------------------------------------------------------------- The body of each wage determination Lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevaiLing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The cLassifications are Listed in aLphobeticaL order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for LocaL), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate). Union Rate Identifiers A four Letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted Lines beginning with characters other than ""SU"" or ""UAW"' denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example: PLUM9198-995 97/91/2914. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevaiLed in the survey for this classification, which in this exampLe would be Plumbers. 9198 indicates the Local union number or district council number where appLicabLe, i.e., Plumbers LocaL 9198. The next number, 995 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 97/91/2914 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is JuLy 1, 2914. Union prevaiLing wage rates are updated to reflect aLL rate changes in the coLLective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this cLassification and rate. Survey Rate Identifiers Exhibit "A" Classifications Listed under the ""SU"" identifier indicate that no one rate prevaiLed for this classification in the survey and the pubLished rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on aLL the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes aLL rates reported in the survey, it may incLude both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2912-997 5/13/2914. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average caLcuLation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2912 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 997 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2914 indicates the survey compLetion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect untlL a new survey is conducted. Union Average Rate Identifiers CLassification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevaiLed for those cLassifications; however, 199% of the data reported for the cLassifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-9919 98/29/2914. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 9919 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 98/29/2914 indicates the survey compLetion date for the cLassifications and rates under that identifier. A UAVG rate wiLL be updated once a year, usuaLLy in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union Locals from which the rate is based. ---------------------------------------------------------------- WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS 1.) Has there been an initiaL decision in the matter? This can be: * an existing pubLished wage determination * a survey underlying a wage determination Exhibit "A" * a Wage and Hour Division Letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter * a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour National Office because National Office has responsibiLity for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.) and 3.) should be foLLowed. With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to: Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of labor 299 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 29219 2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to: Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 299 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 29219 The request should be accompanied by a fuLL statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue. 3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directLy to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to: Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor 299 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 29219 4.) ALL decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.

Typically,the staff that will conduct on-site interviews and use this form are HUD staff and fee construction inspectors,HUD Labor Standards staff,and local agency labor standards contract monitors. Information recorded on the form HUD-11 is evaluated for general compliance and compared to certified payroll reports submitted by the respective employer. The comparison tests the veracity of the payroll reports and may be critical to the successful conclusion of enforcement actions in the event of labor standards violations. The thoroughness and accuracy of the information gathered during interviews is crucial. Note that the interview itself and the information collected on the forth HUD-11 are considered confidential. Interviews should be conducted individually and privately. All laborers and mechanics employed on the job site must be made available for interview at the interviewer's request. The employee's participation,however,is voluntary. Interviews shall be conducted in a manner and place that are conducive to the purposes of the interview and that cause the least inconvenience to the employer(s)and the employee(s). Completing the form HUD-11 Items 1a-1c: Self-explanatory Items 2a—2d: Enter the employee's full name,a telephone number where the employee can be reached,and the employee's home address. Many construction workers use a temporary address in the locality of the project and have a more permanent address elsewhere from which mail may be forwarded to them. Obtain a more permanent address,if available. Ask the employee for a form of identification(e.g.,driver's license)to verify their name. Items 3a—4c: Enter the employee's responses. Ask the employee whether they have a pay stub with them;if so,determine whether the pay stub is consistent with the information provided by the employee. Items 5—7: Be certain that the employee's responses are specific. For example,job classification(#5)must identify the trade involved(e.g.,Carpenter,Electrician,Plumber)—responses such as"journeyman"or"mechanic"are not helpful for our purposes. Items 8—12b: Self-explanatory Items 13—15c: These items represent some of the most important information that can be gathered while conducting on-site interviews. Please be specific about the duties you observed the employee performing. It may be easiest to make these observations before initiating the interview. Please record any comments or remarks that may be helpful. For example,if the employee interviewed was working with a crew,how many workers were in the crew? Was the employee evasive? The level of specificity that is warranted is directly related to the extent to which interview(s)or other observations indicate that there may be violations present. If interviews indicate that there may be underpayments involving a particular trade(s),the interviewer is encouraged to interview as many workers in that trade(s)that are available. Items 16—17b: The information on the form HUD-11 may be reviewed for general compliance,initially. For example,are the job Classification and wage rate stated by the employee compatible with the classifications and wage rates on the applicable wage decision? Are the duties observed by the interviewer consistent with the job classification? Item 18: Please place here any additional information you may want to document or continuing information from other lines that do not fit in their block space. Once the corresponding certified payroll reports are received,the information on the HUD-11 shall be compared to the payroll reports. Any discrepancies noted between the HUD-11 information and that on the payroll report shall be noted in Item 16, Remarks. If discrepancies are noted,follow-up actions to resolve the discrepancies must be taken.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the E0, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year. Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts. Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iii)) . ---------------------------------------------------------------- Exhibit "A" The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate). Union Rate Identifiers A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than ""SU"" or ""UAVG"" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014. Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate. Survey Rate Identifiers Classifications listed under the ""SU"" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted. Exhibit "A" Union Average Rate Identifiers Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based. ---------------------------------------------------------------- WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS 1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be: * an existing published wage determination * a survey underlying a wage determination * a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter * a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour National Office because National Office has responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program.
