litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with the Contractor’s negligence,
recklessness or willful misconduct in the performance of work hereunder or its failure to
comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except such loss or damage
which is caused by the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the City. Should

and the Contractor, or should the City otherwise find the Contractor’s legal counsel
unacceptable, then the Contractor shall reimburse the City its costs of defense, including
without limitation reasonable legal counsel fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of

performance. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are
intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California

The Contractor obligations under this section apply regardless of whether such claim,
charge, damage, demand, action, proceeding, loss, stop notice, cost, expense, judgment,
civil fine or penalty, or liability was caused in part or contributed to by an Indemnitee.
However, without affecting the rights of the City under any provision of this agreement, the
Contractor shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless the City for liability
attributable to the active negligence of City, provided such active negligence is determined
by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction. In
instances where the City is shown to have been actively negligent and where the City’s
active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the obligation of
the Contractor will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the
active negligence of the City.
ARTICLE V. It is further expressly agreed by and between the parties hereto that should
there be any conflict between the terms of this instrument and the bid of said Contractor,
then this instrument shall control and nothing herein shall be considered as an acceptance
of the said terms of said bid conflicting herewith.
ARTICLE VI. Contractor is subject to compliance with all required federal clauses per
Exhibit A – Requirements For Federally Assisted Construction Projects Funded With
Community Development Block Grants(CDBG).

2. Termination of Contract for Cause. If Contractor (1) fails to perform Contractor's duties to
the satisfaction of the City, or (2) fails to fulfill in a timely and professional manner
Contractor's obligations under this Contract, or (3) violates any of the terms or provi sions of
this Contract, then City shall have the right to terminate this Contract effective immediately
upon the City giving written notice to the Contractor. Termination shall have no effect upon
the rights and obligations of the parties arising out of any transaction occurring prior to the

notice thereof, City's maximum liability, if any, shall not exceed the amount payable to
Contractor under this Contract.
3. Termination of Contract for Convenience. The City may terminate this Contract at any

Termination shall have no effect on upon the rights and obligations of the parties arising out
of any transaction occurring prior to the effective date of such termination. Contractor shall
be paid for all accepted goods and work satisfactorily completed and accepted by City prior
to the effective date of the termination. Termination of this Contract may be effectuated by
the City Manager without the need for action, approval or ratification of the City Council.
4. Equal Employment Opportunity. During the performance of this contract, the contractor
agrees as follows:
(1) The contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment
because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national
origin. The contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employe d,
and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color,
religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. Such action shall
include, but not be limited to the following:
Employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising;
layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for
training, including apprenticeship. The contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places,
available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided setting
forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.
(2) The contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on
behalf of the contractor, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for
DocuSign Envelope ID: A35E17B2-5A0A-4DD6-82A3-60EECFF99CDADocuSign Envelope ID: 20792128-6C5F-4AEA-9183-FD80938187D4
employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientati on, gender
identity, or national origin.
(3) The contractor will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against any
employee or applicant for employment because such employee or applicant has
inquired about, discussed, or disclosed the compensation of the employee or applicant
or another employee or applicant. This provision shall not apply to instances in which an
employee who has access to the compensation information of other employees or
applicants as a part of such employee's essential job functions discloses the
compensation of such other employees or applicants to individuals who do not
otherwise have access to such information, unless such disclosure is in response to a
formal complaint or charge, in furtherance of an investigation, proceedin g, hearing, or
action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or is consistent with the
contractor's legal duty to furnish information.
(4) The contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he
has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be
provided advising the said labor union or workers' representatives of the contractor's
commitments under this section, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous
places available to employees and applicants for employment.
(5) The contractor will comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of September 24,
1965, and of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor.
(6) The contractor will furnish all information and reports required by Executive Order
11246 of September 24, 1965, and by rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of
Labor, or pursuant thereto, and will permit access to his books, records, and accounts by
the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to
ascertain compliance with such rules, regulations, and orders.
(7) In the event of the contractor's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this
contract or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be
canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the contractor may be
declared ineligible for further Government contracts or federally assisted construction
contracts in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of
September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked
as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation, or
order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law.
(8) The contractor will include the portion of the sentence immediately preceding paragraph
(1) and the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (8) in every subcontract or purchase
order unless exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor issued
pursuant to section 204 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, so that such
provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor. The contractor will take
such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the administering
DocuSign Envelope ID: A35E17B2-5A0A-4DD6-82A3-60EECFF99CDADocuSign Envelope ID: 20792128-6C5F-4AEA-9183-FD80938187D4
agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for
noncompliance:
Provided, however, that in the event a contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened
with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the
administering agency, the contractor may request the United States to enter into such
litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
The applicant further agrees that it will be bound by the above equal opportunity clause
with respect to its own employment practices when it participates in federally assisted
construction work: Provided, that if the applicant so participating is a state or local
government, the above equal opportunity clause is not applicable to any agency,
instrumentality or subdivision of such government which does not participate in work on
or under the contract.
The applicant agrees that it will assist and cooperate actively with the administering
agency and the Secretary of Labor in obtaining the compliance of contractors and
subcontractors with the equal opportunity clause and the rules, regulations, and
relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor, that it will furnish the administering agency
and the Secretary of Labor such information as they may require for the supervision of
such compliance, and that it will otherwise assist the administering agency in the
discharge of the agency's primary responsibility for securing compliance.
The applicant further agrees that it will refrain from entering into any contract or
contract modification subject to Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, with a
contractor debarred from, or who has not demonstrated eligibility for, Government
contracts and federally assisted construction contracts pursuant to the Executive Order
and will carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of the equal opportunity
clause as may be imposed upon contractors and subcontractors by the administering
agency or the Secretary of Labor pursuant to Part II, Subpart D of the Executive Order. In
addition, the applicant agrees that if it fails or refuses to comply with these undertakings,
the administering agency may take any or all of the following actions: Cancel, terminate,
or suspend in whole or in part this grant (contract, loan, insurance, guarantee); refrain
from extending any further assistance to the applicant under the program with respect
to which the failure or refund occurred until satisfactory assurance of future compliance
has been received from such applicant; and refer the case to the Department of Justice
for appropriate legal proceedings.
5. Davis-Bacon Act.
(1) Minimum Wages.
(i) 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
DocuSign Envelope ID: A35E17B2-5A0A-4DD6-82A3-60EECFF99CDADocuSign Envelope ID: 20792128-6C5F-4AEA-9183-FD80938187D4
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 paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of this section; 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 § 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 paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section) 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.
(ii)
(A) The contracting officer shall 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 shall be classified in conformance with the wage
determination. The contracting officer 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.
(B) 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 shall be sent by the contracting officer
to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, U.S. Department of Labor,
Washington, DC 20210. 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.
DocuSign Envelope ID: A35E17B2-5A0A-4DD6-82A3-60EECFF99CDADocuSign Envelope ID: 20792128-6C5F-4AEA-9183-FD80938187D4
(C) 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 shall 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.
(D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant
to paragraphs (a)(1)(ii) (B) or (C) of this section, 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.
(iii) 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.
(iv) 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.
(2) Withholdings.
The City 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 o f the project), all or
part of the wages required by the contract, the City may, after written notice to the
contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause
the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarante e of funds until such
violations have ceased.
(3) Payroll and Basic Records.
(i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the contractor
during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for
DocuSign Envelope ID: A35E17B2-5A0A-4DD6-82A3-60EECFF99CDADocuSign Envelope ID: 20792128-6C5F-4AEA-9183-FD80938187D4
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 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.
(ii)
(A) The contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any contract work is
performed a copy of all payrolls to the City 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 owner, as the case may be, for transmission to the City. The payrolls
submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to
be maintained under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i), except that full social security numbers and
home addresses shall not be included on weekly transmittals. Instead the payrolls
shall only need to include an individually identifying number for each employee (e.g.,
the last four digits of the employee's social security number). The required weekly
payroll information may be submitted in any form 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/WHD/legacy/files/wh347.pdf or its successor
site. The prime contractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all
subcontractors. Contractors and subcontractors shall maintain the full social security
number and current address of each covered worker, and shall provide them upon
request to the City if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such
a party, the contractor will submit them to the applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the
case may be, for transmission to the City, the contractor, or the Wage and Hour
Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or audit of
compliance with prevailing wage requirements. It is not a violation of this section for
a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide addresses and social security
numbers to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly submission to
the sponsoring government agency (or the applicant, sponsor, or owner).
(B) 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
DocuSign Envelope ID: A35E17B2-5A0A-4DD6-82A3-60EECFF99CDADocuSign Envelope ID: 20792128-6C5F-4AEA-9183-FD80938187D4
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 provided under § 5.5 (a)(3)(ii) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5, the appropriate
information is being maintained under § 5.5 (a)(3)(i) of Regulations, 29 CFR part
5, 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 Regulations, 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.
(C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse
side of Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the
“Statement of Compliance” required by paragraph (a)(3)(ii)(B) of this section.
(D) 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.
(iii) The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph
(a)(3)(i) of this section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized
representatives of the City or the Department of Labor, and shall permit such
representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. If the
contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them
available, the Federal agency may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor,
applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of
any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit
the required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds
for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12.
(4) Apprentices and Trainees.
(i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined
rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and
individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S.
Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of
Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or with a State Apprenticeship
Agency recognized by the Office, or if a person is employed in his or her f irst 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
Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services 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
DocuSign Envelope ID: A35E17B2-5A0A-4DD6-82A3-60EECFF99CDADocuSign Envelope ID: 20792128-6C5F-4AEA-9183-FD80938187D4
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 that determination. In the event the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer
and Labor Services, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office,
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.
(ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work
at less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed
pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received prior
approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor,
Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the
job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the
Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than
the rate specified in the approved program for the trainee's level of progress,
expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable
wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the
provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe
benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed 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 classification of work actually performed. In addition,
any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the
registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage
determination for the work actually performed. In the event the Employment and
Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the contractor will
DocuSign Envelope ID: A35E17B2-5A0A-4DD6-82A3-60EECFF99CDADocuSign Envelope ID: 20792128-6C5F-4AEA-9183-FD80938187D4
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 shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses contained in
29 CFR 5.5(a)(1) through (10) and such other clauses as the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD) may by appropriate instructions require, and also a
clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier
subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any
subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in 29 CFR 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.
(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.
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 sh all be resolved in
accordance with the procedures of the Department of Labor 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 the contracting agency, the U.S. Department
of Labor, or the employees or their representatives.
(10) Certification of Eligibility.
(i) By entering into this contract, the contractor certifies that neither it (nor he or she)
nor any person or firm who has an interest in the contractor's firm is a person or firm
ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis -
Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1).
DocuSign Envelope ID: A35E17B2-5A0A-4DD6-82A3-60EECFF99CDADocuSign Envelope ID: 20792128-6C5F-4AEA-9183-FD80938187D4
(ii) No part of this contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm ineligible for
award of a Government contract by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29
CFR 5.12(a)(1).
(iii) The penalty for making false statements is prescribed in the U.S. Criminal Code, 18
U.S.C. 1001.
6. Prevailing Wages. Federal funds are being used on this project, and therefore, the Davis -
Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a to 276a-7) as supplemented in the Department of Labor
regulations (29 CFR Part 5) applies. The Federal minimum wage rates for this project as
predetermined by the United States Secretary of Labor are set forth in the Special
Provisions. If there is a difference between the minimum wage rates predetermined by the
Secretary of Labor and the prevailing wage rates determined to be applicable to this contract
by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations for similar classifications
of labor, the Contractor and subcontractors shall pay not less than the higher wage rate.
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 1773 of the California Labor Code, the Board of
Supervisors of the City of San Luis Obispo has obtained from the Director of the California
Department of Industrial Relations the general prevailing rate of per diem wages and the
general prevailing rate for holiday and overtime work for the locality in which the work is to
be performed for each needed craft, classification, or type of workman. Copies of said
prevailing rate of per diem wages are on file in the Office of the Clerk of the Board of
Supervisors and available at the California Department of Industrial Relations’ web site
address at: https://www.dir.ca.gov/OPRL/2021-1/PWD/Determinations/Subtrades/Shift/Shift-
SLO.html. Bidders are advised that any contractor who is awarded a public works project
and intends to use a craft or classification not shown on the general prevailing wage
determination may be required to pay the wage rate of that craft or classification most
closely related to it as shown in the general determinations effective at the time of the call
for bids.
7. Copeland Anti-Kickback Act.
Contractor. The contractor shall comply with 18 U.S.C. § 874,40 U.S.C. § 3145, and the
requirements of 29 C.F.R. Part 3 as may be applicable, which are incorporated by reference

tier subcontractor with all of these contract clauses.
Breach. A breach of the contract clauses above may be grounds for termination of the
contract, and for debarment as a contractor and subcontractor as provided in 29 C.F.R. § 5.12.
8. Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. The Agency Head shall cause or require
the contracting officer to insert the following clauses set forth in paragraphs (b)(1), (2), (3),
and (4) of this section in full in any contract in an amount in excess of $100,000 and subject
to the overtime provisions of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. These
DocuSign Envelope ID: A35E17B2-5A0A-4DD6-82A3-60EECFF99CDADocuSign Envelope ID: 20792128-6C5F-4AEA-9183-FD80938187D4

this title. As used in this 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 tha n 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 paragraph (b)(1) of this section
the contractor and any subcontractor responsible therefor shall be liable for the
unpaid wages. In addition, such contractor and subcontractor shall be liable to the
United States (in the case of work done under contract for the District of Columbia or
a territory, to such District or to such territory), for liquidated damages. Such
liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or
mechanic, including watchmen and guards, employed in violation of the clause set
forth in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, in the sum of $29 for each calendar 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 paragraph (b)(1) of this section.
(3) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages.
The City 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 contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to the Contract
Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, which is held by the same prime contractor,

In addition to the clauses contained in paragraph (6), in any contract subject only to the
Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act and not to any of the other statutes cited in §
5.1, the Agency Head shall cause or require the contracting officer to insert a clause requiring
that the contractor or subcontractor shall maintain payrolls and basic payroll records during
the course of the work and shall preserve them for a period of three years from the
completion of the contract for all laborers and mechanics, including guards and watchmen,
working on the contract. Such records shall contain the name and address of each such
employee, social security number, correct classifications, hourly rates of wages paid, daily and
weekly number of hours worked, deductions made, and actual wages paid. Further, the
Agency Head shall cause or require the contracting officer to insert in any such contract a
clause providing that the records to be maintained under this paragraph shall be made
available by the contractor or subcontractor for inspection, copying, or transcription by
authorized representatives of the City and the Department of Labor, and the contractor or
subcontractor will permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours
on the job.
9. Rights to Inventions. If the Federal award meets the definition of “funding agreement”
under 37 CFR § 401.2(a) and the City wishes to enter into a contract with a small business
firm or nonprofit organization regarding the substitution of parties, assignment or

Part 3000, subpart C, in addition to remedies available to the recipient, the federal government
may pursue available remedies, including but not limited to suspension and/or debarment.
The bidder or proposer agrees to comply with the requirements of 2 C.F.R. Part 180, subpart
C and 2 C.F.R. Part 3000, subpart C while this offer is valid and throughout the period of any
contract that may arise from this offer. The bidder or proposer further agrees to include a
provision requiring such compliance in its lower tier covered transactions.
12. Mandatory Disclosures. Contractor must disclose, in a timely manner, in writing to the City

$100,000 shall file the required certification. Each tier certifies to the tier above that it will
not and has not used federally appropriated funds to pay any person or organization for
influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a Member of
Congress, officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in
connection with obtaining any federal contract, grant, or any other award covered by 31
U.S.C. § 1352. Each tier shall also disclose any lobbying with non-federal funds that takes
