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 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 lL. City Officials,Their Family,or Business Partners Benefitting from CDBG Projects. 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 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. III. 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 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.

Length of certified payroll retention The contractor or subcontractor must preserve all certified payrolls during the course of the work and for a period of 3 years after all the work on the prime contract is completed. iii. Contracts,subcontracts,and related documents The contractor or subcontractor must maintain this contract or subcontract and related documents including,without limitation, bids, proposals, amendments, modifications, and extensions.The contractor or subcontractor must preserve these contracts, subcontracts, and related documents during the course of the work and for a period of 3 years after all the work on the prime contract is completed. iv Required disclosures and access A. Required record disclosures and access to workers The contractor or subcontractor must make the records required under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i)—(iii),and any other documents that HUD or the Department of Labor deems necessary to determine compliance with the labor standards provisions of any of the applicable statutes referenced by 29 CFR 5.1,available for inspection,copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of HUD or the Department of Labor,and must permit such representatives to interview workers during working hours on the job. B. Sanctions for non-compliance with records and worker access requirements If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, or refuses to permit worker interviews during working hours on the job,the Federal agency may, after written notice to the contractor,sponsor,applicant, owner,or other entity,as the case may be,that maintains such records or that employs such workers,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, or to permit worker interviews during working hours on the job, may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12. In addition, any contractor or other person that fails to submit the required records or make those records available to WHD within the time WHD requests that the records be produced will be precluded from introducing as evidence in an administrative proceeding under 29 CFR part 6 any of the required records that were not provided or made available to WHD.WHD will take into consideration a reasonable request from the contractor or person for an extension of the time for submission of records. WHD will determine the reasonableness of the request and may consider, among other things,the location of the records and the volume of production. C. Required information disclosures Contractors and subcontractors must maintain the full Social Security number and last known address,telephone number, and email address of each covered worker,and must provide them upon request to HUD if the agency is a party to Previous editions obsolete 5 Form HUD-4010, (10/2023) ref. Handbook 1344.1 the contract,or to the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor. If the Federal agency is not such a party to the contract,the contractor,subcontractor,or both, must, upon request, provide the full Social Security number and last known address,telephone number,and email address of each covered worker to the applicant, sponsor,owner, or other entity,as the case may be,that maintains such records,for transmission to HUD,the contractor,or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or other compliance action. 4. Apprentices and equal employment opportunity i. Apprentices A. Rate of pay Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they perform 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, Office of Apprenticeship(OA),or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the OA. A person who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the OA or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate)to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice,will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they perform in the first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such a program. In the event the OA or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the OA withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program,the contractor will no longer be permitted to use apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. B. Fringe benefits Apprentices must 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,fringe benefits must be paid in accordance with that determination. C. Apprenticeship ratio The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeyworkers on the job site in any craft classification must not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program or the ratio applicable to the locality of the project pursuant to 29 CFR 5.5(a)(4)(i)(D). Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate,who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(4)(i)(A), must 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 this section must be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. D. Reciprocity of ratios and wage rates Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than the locality in which its program is registered,the ratios and wage rates(expressed in percentages of the journeyworker's hourly rate)applicable within the locality in which the construction is being performed must be observed. If there is no applicable ratio or wage rate for the locality of the project,the ratio and wage rate specified in the contractor's registered program must be observed. ii Equal employment opportunity The use of apprentices and journeyworkers under this part must 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.

Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages i. Withholding process The U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development or the recipient of Federal assistance may, upon its own action, or must, upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor,withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to satisfy the liabilities of the prime contractor or any subcontractor for any unpaid wages; monetary relief, including interest;and liquidated damages required by the clauses set forth in 29 CFR 5.5(b) on this contract,any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor,or any other federally assisted contract subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act that is held by the same prime contractor(as defined in 29 CFR 5.2).The necessary funds may be withheld from the contractor under this contract,any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor,or any other federally assisted contract that is subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act and is held by the same prime contractor, regardless of whether the other contract was awarded or assisted by the same agency, and such funds may be used to satisfy the contractor liability for which the funds were withheld. ii Priority to withheld funds The Department has priority to funds withheld or to be withheld in accordance with 29 CFR 5.5(a)(2)(i)or(b)(3)(i),or both, over claims to those funds by: A. A contractor's surety(ies), including without limitation performance bond sureties and payment bond sureties; B. A contracting agency for its reprocurement costs; C.

D. Incorporation of contract clauses and wage determinations by reference Although agencies are required to insert the contract clauses set forth in this section, along with appropriate wage determinations, in full into covered contracts, and contractors and subcontractors are required to insert them in any lower-tier subcontracts,the incorporation by reference of the required contract clauses and appropriate wage determinations will be given the same force and effect as if they were inserted in full text. E. Incorporation by operation of law The contract clauses set forth in this section (or their equivalent under the Federal Acquisition Regulation), along with the correct wage determinations,will be considered to be a part of every prime contract required by the applicable statutes referenced by 29 CFR 5.1 to include such clauses,and will be effective by operation of law,whether or not they are included or incorporated by reference into such contract, unless the Administrator grants a variance, tolerance,or exemption from the application of this paragraph.Where the clauses and applicable wage determinations are effective by operation of law under this paragraph,the prime contractor must be compensated for any resulting increase in wages in accordance with applicable law.

APPLICABILITY The Project or Program 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. 1. Minimum wages and fringe benefits i. All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work(or otherwise working in construction or development of the project under a development statute),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 basic hourly 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.As provided in 29 CFR 5.5(d)and(e),the appropriate wage determinations are effective by operation of law even if they have not been attached to the contract. Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under the Davis-Bacon Act(40 U.S.C. 3141(2)(B))on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics,subject to the provisions of paragraph(a)(1)(v)of these contract clauses; 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 must be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the classification(s)of work actually performed,without regard to skill,except as provided in 29 CFR 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 classifications and wage rates conformed under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iii))and the Davis-Bacon poster(WH-1321)must 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. ii. Frequently recurring classifications A. In addition to wage and fringe benefit rates that have been determined to be prevailing under the procedures set forth in 29 CFR part 1, a wage determination may contain, pursuant to§ 1.3(f), wage and fringe benefit rates for classifications of laborers and mechanics for which conformance requests are regularly submitted pursuant to 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iii), provided that: 1. The work performed by the classification is not performed by a classification in the wage determination for which a prevailing wage rate has been determined; 2. The classification is used in the area by the construction industry; and 3. The wage rate for the classification bears a reasonable relationship to the prevailing wage rates contained in the wage determination. B. The Administrator will establish wage rates for such classifications in accordance with 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iii)(A)(3).Work performed in such a classification must be paid at no less than the wage and fringe benefit rate listed on the wage determination for such classification. iii. Conformance A. The contracting officer must require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract be Previous editions obsolete 1 Form HUD-4010, (10/2023) ref. Handbook 1344.1 classified in conformance with the wage determination. Conformance of an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits is appropriate 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 used 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. B. The conformance process may not be used to split, subdivide, or otherwise avoid application of classifications listed 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 the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken will be sent by the contracting officer by email to DBAconformance@dol.gov.The Administrator,or an authorized representative,will approve, modify,or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30—day period that additional time is necessary. D. In the event the contractor,the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification or their representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate(including the amount designated for fringe benefits,where appropriate), the contracting officer will, by email to DBAconformance@dol.gov, refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the contracting officer,to the Administrator for determination.The Administrator,or an authorized representative,will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30—day period that additional time is necessary. E. The contracting officer must promptly notify the contractor of the action taken by the Wage and Hour Division under 29 CFR 5.5 (a)(1)(iii)(C)and (D).The contractor must furnish a written copy of such determination to each affected worker or it must be posted as a part of the wage determination.The wage rate(including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iii)(C)or(D)must 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. iv. Fringe benefits not expressed as an hourly rate 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 may either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or may pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof. v. Unfunded plans 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,in accordance with the criteria set forth in 29 CFR 5.28,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. vi. Interest In the event of a failure to pay all or part of the wages required by the contract,the contractor will be required to pay interest on any underpayment of wages. Previous editions obsolete ? Form HUD 4010,(10/2023) ref. Handbook 1344.1 2. Withholding i. Withholding requirements The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development may,upon its own action,or must, upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor,withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to satisfy the liabilities of the prime contractor or any subcontractor for the full amount of wages and monetary relief, including interest, required by the clauses set forth in 29 CFR 5.5(a) for violations of this contract,or to satisfy any such liabilities required by any other Federal contract, or federally assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon labor standards,that is held by the same prime contractor(as defined in 29 CFR 5.2).The necessary funds may be withheld from the contractor under this contract, any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor,or any other federally assisted contract that is subject to Davis-Bacon labor standards requirements and is held by the same prime contractor, regardless of whether the other contract was awarded or assisted by the same agency, and such funds may be used to satisfy the contractor liability for which the funds were withheld. In the event of a contractor's failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice or helper working on the site of the work(or otherwise working in construction or development of the project under a development statute)all or part of the wages required by the contract,or upon the contractor's failure to submit the required records as discussed in 29 CFR S.S(a)(3)(iv), HUD may on its own initiative and after written notice to the contractor, sponsor,applicant,owner,or other entity, as the case may be,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. ii. Priority to withheld funds The Department has priority to funds withheld or to be withheld in accordance with 29 CFR 5.5(a)(2)(i)or(b)(3)(i),or both,over claims to those funds by: A. A contractor's surety(ies),including without limitation performance bond sureties and payment bond sureties; B. A contracting agency for its reprocurement costs; C. A trustee(s) (either a court-appointed trustee or a U.S.trustee,or both) in bankruptcy of a contractor,or a contractor's bankruptcy estate; D. A contractor's assignee(s); E. A contractor's successor(s); or F. A claim asserted under the Prompt Payment Act, 31 U.S.C.3901-3907. 3. Records and certified payrolls i. Basic record requirements A. Length of record retention. All regular payrolls and other basic records must be maintained by the contractor and any subcontractor during the course of the work and preserved for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work(or otherwise working in construction or development of the project under a development statute)for a period of at least 3 years after all the work on the prime contract is completed. B. Information required Such records must contain the name;Social Security number;last known address,telephone number,and email address of each such worker;each worker's correct classification(s)of work actually performed; 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 40 U.S.C.3141(2)(B)of the Davis-Bacon Act);daily and weekly number of hours actually worked in total and on each covered contract; deductions made;and actual wages paid. C. Additional records relating to fringe benefits. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(v)that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any Previous editions obsolete 3 Form HUD-4010,(10/2023) ref.Handbook 1344.1 costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in 40 U.S.C. 3141(2)(8)of the Davis-Bacon Act,the contractor must 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. 0. Additional records relating to apprenticeship Contractors with apprentices working under approved programs must maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs,the registration of the apprentices, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs. ii. Certified payroll requirements A. Frequency and method of submission The contractor or subcontractor must submit weekly, for each week in which any DBA-or Related Acts-covered work is performed, certified payrolls to HUD if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the contractor will submit the certified payrolls to the applicant,sponsor,owner, or other entity,as the case may be,that maintains such records,for transmission to HUD.The prime contractor is responsible for the submission of all certified payrolls by all subcontractors. A contracting agency or prime contractor may permit or require contractors to submit certified payrolls through an electronic system, as long as the electronic system requires a legally valid electronic signature;the system allows the contractor,the contracting agency,and the Department of Labor to access the certified payrolls upon request for at least 3 years after the work on the prime contract has been completed; and the contracting agency or prime contractor permits other methods of submission in situations where the contractor is unable or limited in its ability to use or access the electronic system B. Information required The certified payrolls submitted must set out accurately and completely ail of the information required to be maintained under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i)(B), except that full Social Security numbers and last known addresses,telephone numbers,and email addresses must not be included on weekly transmittals. instead,the certified payrolls need only include an individually identifying number for each worker(e.g.,the last four digits of the worker's Social Security number).The required weekly certified payroll information may be submitted using Optional Form WH-347 or in any other format desired.Optional Form WH-347 is available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division Web site at https://www.dol.gov/ sites/dolgov/files/WHO/legacy/files/wh347.pdf or its successor website. It is not a violation of this section for a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide full Social Security numbers and last known addresses,telephone numbers, and email addresses to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly submission by the subcontractor to the sponsoring government agency(or the applicant,sponsor,owner,or other entity,as the case may be,that maintains such records). C. Statement of Compliance Each certified payroll submitted must be accompanied by a "Statement of Compliance," signed by the contractor or subcontractor,or the contractor's or subcontractor's agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons working on the contract,and must certify the following: 1. That the certified payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(ii),the appropriate information and basic records are being maintained under 29 CFR 5.5 (a)(3)(i),and such information and records are correct and complete; 2. That each laborer or mechanic(including each helper and apprentice)working 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 Previous editions obsolete 4 Form HUD-4010,(10/2023) ref.Handbook 1344.1 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(s) of work actually performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract. D. Use of Optional Form WH-347 The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH-347 will satisfy the requirement for submission of the"Statement of Compliance" required by 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(ii)(C). E. Signature The signature by the contractor,subcontractor,or the contractor's or subcontractor's agent must be an original handwritten signature or a legally valid electronic signature. F. Falsification The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 31 U.S.C. 3729. G. Length of certified payroll retention The contractor or subcontractor must preserve all certified payrolls during the course of the work and for a period of 3 years after all the work on the prime contract is completed. iii. Contracts,subcontracts,and related documents The contractor or subcontractor must maintain this contract or subcontract and related documents including,without limitation,bids,proposals, amendments,modifications,and extensions.The contractor or subcontractor must preserve these contracts, subcontracts, and related documents during the course of the work and for a period of 3 years after all the work on the prime contract is completed. iv Required disclosures and access A. Required record disclosures and access to workers The contractor or subcontractor must make the records required under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i)—(iii), and any other documents that HUD or the Department of Labor deems necessary to determine compliance with the labor standards provisions of any of the applicable statutes referenced by 29 CFR 5.1,available for inspection,copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of HUD or the Department of Labor,and must permit such representatives to interview workers during working hours on the job. B. Sanctions for non-compliance with records and worker access requirements If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, or refuses to permit worker interviews during working hours on the job,the Federal agency may,after written notice to the contractor,sponsor,applicant,owner,or other entity, as the case may be,that maintains such records or that employs such workers,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,or to permit worker interviews during working hours on the job, may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12. In addition,any contractor or other person that fails to submit the required records or make those records available to WHD within the time WHD requests that the records be produced will be precluded from introducing as evidence in an administrative proceeding under 29 CFR part 6 any of the required records that were not provided or made available to WHD.WHD will take into consideration a reasonable request from the contractor or person for an extension of the time for submission of records. WHD will determine the reasonableness of the request and may consider, among other things, the location of the records and the volume of production. C. Required information disclosures Contractors and subcontractors must maintain the full Social Security number and last known address,telephone number, and email address of each covered worker,and must provide them upon request to HUD if the agency is a party to Previous editions obsolete 5 Form HUD-4010,(10/2023) ref.Handbook 1344.1 the contract,or to the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor. If the Federal agency is not such a party to the contract,the contractor, subcontractor,or both, must, upon request, provide the full Social Security number and last known address,telephone number,and email address of each covered worker to the applicant,sponsor,owner,or other entity,as the case may be,that maintains such records,for transmission to HUD,the contractor,or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or other compliance action. 4. Apprentices and equal employment opportunity i. Apprentices A. Rate of pay Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they perform 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,Office of Apprenticeship(OA),or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the OA.A person who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the OA or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate)to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice,will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they perform in the first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such a program. In the event the OA or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the OA withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program,the contractor will no longer be permitted to use apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. B. Fringe benefits Apprentices must 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,fringe benefits must be paid in accordance with that determination. C. Apprenticeship ratio The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeyworkers on the job site in any craft classification must not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program or the ratio applicable to the locality of the project pursuant to 29 CFR 5.5(a)(4)(i)(D).Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate,who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(4)(i)(A), must 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 this section must be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. D. Reciprocity of ratios and wage rates Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than the locality in which its program is registered,the ratios and wage rates(expressed in percentages of the journeyworker's hourly rate)applicable within the locality in which the construction is being performed must be observed. If there is no applicable ratio or wage rate for the locality of the project,the ratio and wage rate specified in the contractor's registered program must be observed. ii Equal employment opportunity The use of apprentices and journeyworkers under this part must 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. Previous editions obsolete 6 Form HUD-4010,(10/2023) ref.Handbook 1344.1 6 Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor must insert in any subcontracts the clauses contained in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)through (11),along with the applicable wage determination(s) and such other clauses or contract modifications as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development may by appropriate instructions require, and a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses and wage determination(s) in any lower tier subcontracts.The prime contractor is responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in this section. In the event of any violations of these clauses, the prime contractor and any subcontractor(s) responsible will be liable for any unpaid wages and monetary relief, including interest from the date of the underpayment or loss, due to any workers of lower-tier subcontractors, and may be subject to debarment, as appropriate. 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. 8 Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act requirements.All rulings and interpretations of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR parts 1,3,and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this contract. 9 Disputes concerning labor standards.

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 form 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 interviewers 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). Coms�fineihe form HUD-11: Items la-lc: 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(e5)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 HOD-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 HOD-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. It discrepancies are noted,follow-up actions to resolve the discrepancies must be taken. f svloue editions emir y` Form HUD•lf f4572c2{( Record of Employee U.S.Department of Housing and Urban Development OMB Approval No.2501-00( Interview Office of Davis-Bacon and Labor Standards (exp. 12/31/202 The public reporting burden estimate for this collection of irtfor eat en is 15 minutes par response on$versos.
