Reclt�etion of match for particrpating jurisclictions in disnster areas. If a participating jurisdiction is (ocated in �n area in which a declaration of major disaster pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act is made, it may request a reduction of its matching requirement. For a local participating jurisdiction, the HUD �ield office may reduce the matching requirement specified in .} 92.218 by up to (00 percent for the tiscal year in which the declaration of major disaster is maeie and the following tiscal year. For a State participating jurisdiction, the HUD Field oftice may reduce the matching requirement specified in § 92.218, by up to l00 percent for the fiscal year in which the declaration of major disaster is made and the following tiscal year with respect to any F{ON1E funds expended in an area to which the dec(aration of a major disaster applies. At its discretion and upon request of the participating jurisdiction, the HUD Field OfFice may extend the reduction for an additional year. SUBPART F — PROJECT REQUIRENIENTS § 92.250 Maximum Per-unit Subsidy Amount and Subsidy Layering a. ��lnximum per-crnit subsidy nmoarnt. The total amount of HOME funds and ADD[ funds that a participating jurisdiction may invest on a per-unit basis in affordable housing may not e:cceed the per-unit do((ar limitations established under section 22l(d)(3)(ii) of the National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 1715 I(d)(3)(ii)) for elevator-type projects that apply to the acea in which the housing is located. These limits are available from the Mu(tifamily Division in the HUD Field Office. If the participating jurisdiction's per-unit subsidy amount has already been increased to 2 l0% as permitted under section 221(d)(3)(ii) of the Nationa( Housing Act, upon request to the Field Ofece, F{UD will allow the per-unit subsidy amount to be increased on a program-wide basis to an amount, up to 240% of the original per unit limits. b. Subsicly layering. Before cornmitting funds to a project, the participating jucisdiction must eva(uate the project in accordance with guidclines that it has adopted for this purpose and will not invest any more FtOtiIE funds, in combination with other governmental assistance, than is necessary to provide affordable housing. § 92.251 Property Standards a. Housing that is construeted ��r rehabilitated with HOME funds must meet all applicable local codes, rehabilitation standards, ordinances, and -r_oning ordinances at the time of project completion, except as provided in paragraph (b) ot'this section. 'I�he participatinb jurisdiction must have written standards for rehabilitation th�t ensure that f-fOME-assisted housing is decent, safe, und sanitaiy. fn the absence of a local code for new construction or rehabilitation, F[0�1E-assisted new construction or rehabilitation must meet, as applicable: one of three model cocles (Uniform Builc�ing Cude ((CBO), National Building Code (BOCA), 5tandard 45 (Southcrn) E3uilding Code (SBCCI)); or the Council of American E3uilding Officials (CAE30) one or two family code; or the Minimum Property Standards (MPS) in 24 CFR 200.925 or 200.926. To avoid duplicative inspections when FHA financing is involved in a E[OME-assisted property, a participating jurisdiction may rely on a �(inimum Property Standards (NiPS) inspection performed by a qualitied person. Newly constructed housing must meet the current edition of the Model Energy Code published by the Council of American E3uilding Officials. 2. nll other F{OME-assisted housing (e.g., acquisition) must meet all applicable State and local housing quality standards and code requirements and if there are no such standards or code requirements, the housing must meet the housing quality standards in 24 CFR 982.�01. The housing must meet the lccessibility requirements at 2� CFR part 8, which implements Section 504 of the ftehabilitation Act oF 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794) and covered multifamily dwellings, as detined at 24 CFR 100.201, must also meet the design and construction requirements at 2� CFR 100.205, which implement the Fair E[ousing Act (42 U.S.C. 3601-3619). 4. Construction of all rnanufactured housing must meet the M�inufactured Ftome Construction and Safety Standards established in 24 CFR Part 3280. These standards pre-empt State and local codes covering the same aspects of performance Por such housing. Participating jurisdictions providing HOYtE assistance to install manufactu�•ed housing units must comply with app(icable State and loca( laws or codes. (n the absence of such laws or codes, the participating jurisdiction must comply with the manttfacturer's written instructions for instal(ation of manufactured housing units. i�[anufactured housing that is cehabilitated using HOME funds must rneet the requirements set out in paragraph (a)( l) of this section. b. "[�he following requirements apply to housing for homeownership that is to be rehabilitated af'ter transfer of the ownership interest: E3efore the transfer of the homeownership interest, the participating jurisdiction tnust: fnspect the housing for any defects that pose a danger to health; and Notify the prospective purchaser of the work needed to cure the defects and the tin�e by which defects must be cur•ed and applicab(e p►•operty standards met.

Alt housing occupied by tenants receiving HOME tenant-based rental assistance must meet the housing qua(ity standards in 24 CFR 982.401. § 92.252 Qualification as Affordable Housing: Rental Housing The E{ONtE-assisted units in a rental housing project must be occupied on(y by households that are eligible as low-income famities and must rneet the following requirements to qualify as affordable housing. The affordability requirements atso apply to the E{OME-assisted non- owner-occttpied units in sing(e-family housing purchased with f-[ON1E funds in accordance with § 92.254. Rent limitatron. (-lUD provides the fotlowing ma;cimum �fOME rent limits. The maximum HOME rents are the lesser of: The fair macket rent for eYisting housing for comparable units in the area as established by HUD under 24 CFR 888.11 l; or A rent that does not exceed 30 percent of the adjusted income of a family whose annual income equals 65 percent of the median income for the area, as determined by HUD, with adjustments for number of bedrooms in the unit. The E[OME rent limits provided by f-{UD will include average occupancy per unit and adjusted income assumptions. b. Additiona! Rent limitations. In rental projects with tive or more HOME-assisted rental units, t�venty (20) percent of the HOME-assisted units must be occupied by very low- income P�imilies and meet one of following rent requirements: l. The rent does not exceed 30 percent of the annual income of a Farnily whose income equals 50 percent of the median income for the area, as determined by HUD, with adjustments for smallec and larger families. HUD provides the E[ONIE rent (imits which include average occupancy per unit and adjusted income assumptions. E-iowever, if the rent determined under this paragraph is higher than the applicable rent under (a) of this section, then the maximum rent for units under this paragraph is that calculated under paragraph (a). 2. 'I'he rent cloes not exceed 30 percent of the family's adjusted income. (F the unit receives Federal or State project-based rental subsidy and the very low-income family pays as a contribution toward rent not more than 30 percent of the family's adjusted income, then the maximum rent (i.e,, tenant contribution plus project- based rental subsidy) is the rent allowable under the Federal or State project-based rental subsidy pro�ram. lnitial rent schedule urrd utility �rllowrrnces. The participating jurisdiction must establish rnasimum monthly allowances for utilities and services (excluding telephone). The participatin�; jurisdiction must review and approve rents proposed by the owner for units subject to the maximum rent limitations in paragraphs (a) or (b) of this section. For all units subject ro the maximum rent limitations in paragraphs (a) or (b) oFthis section for �vhich the tenant is paying utilities and services, the participating jurisdiction must ensure 47 that the rents do not exceed the maximum rent minus the monthly allowances for utilities and services. d. �Vondiscriminntivn against rental assistance stibsi�fy holders. The owner cannot refuse to lease HONtE-assisted units to a certiticate or voucher holder under 24 CFR part 982— Section 8 Tenant-Based Assistance: Unified Rule for'I'enant-Based Assistance under the Section 8 Rental Certificate Program and the Section 8 Rental Voucher Program or to the holder oFa comparable document evidencing participation in a HONiE tenant-based rental assistance program because oF the status of the prospective tenant as a holder of such certificate, voucher, or comparable HOME tenant-based assistance document. Periods offif'forclability. The E[OME-assisted units must meet the affordability requirements for not less th�n the applicab(e period specitied in the fo(lowing table, beginning after project compietion. The affordability requirements apply without regard to the term of any loan or mortgage or the transfer of ownership. They must be imposed by deed restrictions, covenants running with the (and, or other mechanisms approved by F{UD, e;ccept that the affocdability restrictions may terminate upon foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure. The participating jurisdiction may use purchase options, rights of tirst refusal or other preemptive rights to purchase the housing before foreclosure or deed in lieu of Forec(osure to preserve affordability. The affordability restrictions shall be revived according to the original terms if, during the original affordability period, the owner of record before the foreclosure, or deed in lieu ot' foreclosure, or any entity that includes the Former owner or those with whom the former owner has or had family or business ties, obtains an ownership interest in the project or propecty.

HUD then provides the new maximum f IOi�tE rent limits to participating jurisdictions. Regardless of changes in tair market rents and in mcdian income ovcr time, the HONtE rents f'or a project are not required to be lower than the HOME rcnt limits for the project in effect at the time ot�project commitment. �18 2. The participating jurisdiction must provide project owners with inFormation on updated HONtE rent limits so that rents may be adjusted (not to eYceed the maximum HONtE rent limits in paragraph (t)(1) of this section) in accordance with the written agreement between the participating jurisdiction and the owner. Owners must annual(y provide the participating jurisdiction with information on rents and occupancy of HOME-assisted units to demonstrate compliance with this section. Any increase in rents for EiONtE-assisted units is subject to the provisions of outst�nding leases, and in any event, the owner must provide tenants of those units not less than 30 days prior written notice before implementing any increase in rents. g. flc� usbnent of HO��lE rent limits for a partici�lar project. Changes in fair market rents and in median income over time should be sufficient to maintain the financial viability of a project within the EiONtE rent limits in this section. HUD may adjust the �{OME rent limits for � project, on(y if HUD Finds that an �djustment is necessacy to support the continued tinancia) viability of the project and only by an amount that E[UD determines is necessary to m�intain continued tinancial viability of the project. FIUD expects that this authority will be used sparingly. h. Tenant irrcome. The income of each tenant must be determined initially in accordlnce with § 92.203(a)(I)(i). [n addition, each year during the period of affordability the project owner must re-examine each tenant's annual income in accordance with one of the options in § 92.203 se(ected by the participating jurisdiction. An owner of a multiFamily project with 1n affordability period of l0 years or more who re-e:camines tenant's annual income through a statement and certitication in accordance with § 92.203(a)(t)(ii), must e�camine the income of each tenant, in accordance with § 92.203(a)( l)(i), every sixth year of the afPordability period. Otherwise, an owner who accepts the tenant's statement and certification in �ccordance with § 92.203(a)(()(ii) is not required to examine the income of tenants in multifamily or single-family projects unless there is evidence that the tenant's written statement failed to completely anci accurately state information about the Family's size or income. Over-income tenants. ttOME-assisted units continue to qualify as affordable housing despite a temporary noncompliance caused by increases in the incomes of existing tenants if actions satisfactory to [-{UD are being taken to ensure that all vacancies are tilled in accordar�ce with thi� section until the noncompliance is corrected. 2. 'I'enants who no longer qualiFy as low-income families must pay as rent the (esser of the amount payable by the tenant un�ier State or (ocal law or 30 percent of the t'amily's adjusted income, excepi that tenants of EIOME-assisted units that have been allocated low-income housing tax credits by a housing credit agency pursuant to section d2 of the Internal Revenue Code of ( 986 (26 U.S.C. 42) must pay rent �;overned by section d2. [n addition, in projects in which the HOME units are clesi�nated as tloating pursuanC to paragr�ph (j), tenants who no longer qualify as ��7 (ow-income are not required to pay as rent an amount that exceeds the market rent For comparable, unassisted units in the neighborhood. Fixed cxnd floating FIO�tiIE units. [n a project containing EtOME-assisted and other units, the participating jurisdiction may designate Eixed or tloating HOME units. This �lesignation must be made at the time of project commitment. Fired units remain the same throughout the period of affordability. Floating units are changed to maintain conformity with the requirements of this section during the period of affordability so that the totat number of housing units meeting the requirements of this section rernains the same, and each substituted unit is comparable in terms of size, features, and number of bedrooms to the originally designated HOI�fE-assisted unit. § 92.253 Tenant and Participant Protections l,ease. The lease between a tenant and an owner of rental housing assisted with HOME funds must be Por not less than one year, unless by tnutual agreement between the tenlnt and the o�vner. b. Prohibited lense terms. The lease may not contain any of the Following provisions: Agreement to be sued. Agreement by the tenant to be sued, to admit guilt, or to a judgment in favor of the owner in a lawsuit brought in connection with the lease; 2. Trcatment of p��operty. Agreement by the tenant that the owner may take, hold, or sell persona) property of househo(d members without notice to the tenant and a court decision on the rights af the parties. "['his prohibition, however, does not �pply to an agreement by the tenant concerning disposition of personal property remaining in the housing unit af'ter the tenant has moved out of the iu�it.

The tenant, Ilowever, may be obligated to pay costs if the tenant loses. c. Termination of tennncy. An owner may not terminate the tenancy or refiise to renew the lease of a tenant of rental housing assisted with HON1E funds except for serious or repeated vialation of the terms and conditions of the lease; for vio(ation of applicable Federal, State, or local law; For comp(etion of the tenancy period for transitional housing; or for other good cause. "Co terminate or refiise to renew tenancy, the owner must serve written notice upon the tenant specifying the grounds for the action at least 30 days before the terminllion of tenancy. d. Tenant selection. An owner of cental housing assisted with HONiE f'unds must �tdopt written tenant selection policies and criteria that: l. Are consistent with the purpose of providing housing for very low-income and low- income fami(ies; 2. Are reasonably related to program eligibility and the applicants' ability to perform the obligations of the lease; Provide for the selection of tenants from a w�•itten waiting list in the chronological order of their �ipplication, insofar as is practicable; and �. Give prompt written notitication to any rejected applicant ot the grounds for �iny rejection. § 92.254 Qualification as Affordable Housing: Homeownership a. f�cqc�isition with or without rehabilitntion. f-tousing that is for acquisition by a family must meet the aFfordability requirements of this paragraph (a). "I'he housing must be single-family housing. 'Che housing must be modest housing as follows: (n the case of acquisition of newly constructed housing or standard housing, the housing has a purchase price for the type of single family housing that does not exceed 95 percent of the mcdian purchase price for the area, as described in paragraph (a)(2)(iii) of this section. (n the case of acquisition with rehabilitation, the housing has an estimated value atter rehabilitation th�t does nc�t exceed 95 percent of the median purchase price for the area, described in paragraph (a)(2)(iii) of this section. iii. (f a participating jurisdiction intends to use HOME funds tor homebuyer assistance or for rehabilitation of owner-occupied single-tamily properties, the participating jurisdiction may use the Single Farnily Mortgage Limits under Section 203(b) of the Nationa( E{ousing Act (12 U.S.C. 1709(b)) (which may be obtained from the k{UD Field Office) or it may determine 95 �ercent of the rnedian area purchase price for single family huusing in the jurisdiction, as 51 follows. 'Che participating jurisdiction must set forth the price for different types of single family housing for the jurisdiction. The 95 percent of inedian area purchase price must be established in accordance with a market analysis �vhich ensured that a sufEicient number of recent housing sales are included in the survey. Sa(es must cover the requisite number of months based on vo(ume: For S00 or more sales per month, a one-month reporting period; for 250 through �99 sales per month, a t�vo-month reporting period; for less than 250 sales per month, at least a three-month reporting period. The data must be listed in ascen�iing order of sa(es price. "I'he address of the (isted properties must inciude the location within the participating jurisdiction. Lot, square and subdivision data may be substihited for the street address. 'I'he housing sales data must retlect all, or nearly all, of the one-family house sales in the entire participating jurisdiction. "I'o determine the median, take the middle sale on the list if an odd number of sales and if an even number, take the higher of the micldle numbers and consider it the median. Atter identifying the median sales price, the amount should be multiplied by .95 to cletermine the 95 percent of the median area purchase price, This inform�►tion must be submitted to the HUD Field Ot'tice for review. The housing must be acquired by a homebuyer whose tamily qullities as a low- income tamily and the housing must be the principal residence of the family throughout the perioci ciescribed in paragraph (a)(4) of this section. 4.

I�IUD must cletermine that they are appropriate. Res��le. Resale requirements ►r�ust ensure, if the housing does not continue to be the principal residence of the tamily for the duration of the period uf aFf��rdability, that the housing is made avail<�ble for subsequent p��rcllase only to a buycr �vhose t��rnily yualitics as a low-income farnily and will use the 52 property �s its principal resicience. The resale requirement must also ensure that the price at resale provides the original HOME-assisted owner a fair return on investment (including the homeowner's investment and any capital improvement) and ensure that the housing will remain af�ordable to a reasonable range of !ow-income homebuyers. The period of affordability is based on the totai amount of HONtE funds invested in the housing. A. Except as provided in paragraph (a)(5)(i)(B) of this section, deed restrictions, covenants running with the land, or other similar mechanisms must be used as the mechanism to impose the resate requirements. "I'he affordabi(ity restrictions ►nay terminate upon occurrence of any of the following termination events: forec(osure, transfer in (ieu of foreclosure or assignment of an FHA insured mo��tgage to HUD. The participating jurisdiction may use purchase options, rights of tirst refi�sal or other preemptive rights to purchase the housing before foreclosure to preserve afford�bility. The affordability restrictions shall be cevived according to the original terms if, during the origina( affordability period, the owner of record before the termination event, obtains an ownership interest in the housing. B. Certain housing may be presumed to meet the resale restrictions (i.e., the housing will be available and affordable to �� reasonable range of low- income homebuyers; a low-income homebuyer �vill occupy the housing as the family's principal residence; and the original owner wil( be aE'forded a Fair return on investment) during the period of affordabi(ity without the imposition of enforcement mechanisms by the participating jurisdiction. "I'he presumption must be based upon a market analysis of the neighborhovd in which the housing is located. The market lnalysis must include an evaluation of the location and charlcteristics of the housing and residents in the neighborhood (e.g., sale prices, age and amenities of the housing stock, incomes of residents, percentage of owner-occupants) in celation to housing and incornes in the housing market area. An analysis of the current and projected incomes ot nei�hbochood residents f'or an average period of affordability For homebuyers in the neighborhood must support the conclusion that a reasonable range of low-income families �vil( continue to qualify for mortgage tinancing. For example, an analysis shows that the housing is modestly nriced within the housing market area and that families with incomes of f5% to 80% oFarea median can afford monthly paymcnts under average FHA terms without other government assistznce and housing will remain aff'ordable at Icast during the next tive to sc:ven yeacs compared to other housing in the market area; the size ar�d amenities ofthe housing are modest and substantia( rehabilitation will not si�niticantly increase the market value; t��e neighborhood has housing that is not current(y owned by the occupants, but the participating jurisdiction is encouraging homeownership in the neighborhood by providing homeownership assistance and by making improvements to the streets, sidewalks, and other public facilities and services. (f a participatingjuriscliction in preparing a neighborhood revitalization strategy under § 9(.215(e)(2) of its consolidated plan or Empowerrnent _7.one or l:nterprise Community application under 24 CP[Z 53 part 597 has incorporated the type of market data described above, that submission may serve as the required analysis under this section. If the participating jurisdiction continues to provide homeownecship assistance for housing in the neighborhood, it must periodically update the market analysis to verify the original presumption of continued affordability. ii. Recnpture. [2ecapture provisions must ensure that the participating jurisdiction recoups all or a portion of the HON1E assistance to the homebuyers, if the housing cioes not continue to be the principal residence of the family for the clttration of the period of affordability. The participating jurisdiction may structure its recapture provisions based on its progrlm design and market conditions. The period of affordability is based upon the total amount of E-{ON1E funds subject to recapture described in paragrnph (a)(5)(ii)(A)(5) of this section. A. The following options for recapture requirements are acceptable to HUD. fl'he participating jurisdiction may adopt, modify or develop its own reclpture requirements for HUD approvaL [n establishing its recapture requirements, the participating jurisdiction is subject to the limitation that when the recapture requirement is triggered by a sale (voluntary or involuntary) of the housing unit, and there are no net proceeds or the net proceeds are insuFficient to repay the F{ONtE investment due, the participating jurisdiction can only reclpture the net proceecis, if any. The net proceeds are the sales price minus superior loan repayment (other than E-fOME funcls) and any closing costs. Recnpture errtire amotrnt.

Amount subject to recapture. The f-fOME investment that is subject to recapture is based on the amount of E[ON1E assistance that enabled the homebuyer to buy the dwelling unit. This includes any HOME assistance that reduced the purchase price from fair market value to an aE'fordable price, but exchides the amount between the cost of prodttcing the unit and the market value of the property (i,e., the development subsidy). The recaptured funds must be used to carry out HONIE-eligible activities in accordance with the requirements of this part. [f the HOME assistance is only used for the development subsidy and therefore not subject to recapture, the resale option must be used. 6. Special considerntions for single family properties with more than one unit. [f the F[ONtE funds are only used to assist a low-income homebuyer to acquire one unit in single-family housing containing more than one unit and the assisted unit r,vill be the principal residence of the homebuyer, the aFfordability requirements of this section �pply only to the assisted unit. [f HOME funds are also used to assist tlle low-income homebuyer to acquire one or more of the rental units in the single-family housing, the affo►•dability requirements of � 92.252 apply to assisted rental units, except that the participating jurisdiction may impose resa(e or recapture restrictions on all assisted units (awncr-occupied and rental units) in the single family housing. If ►•esale restrictions are used, the affordability requirements on all assisted units continue for the period of at�Fordability. [f recapture restrictions are used, the affordability requirements on the assisted rental units may be tcrminated, at the discretion of the participating jurisdiction, upon recapture of the HOME investment. (If f(OME funds are used to assist only the renta( units in such a property then the reqt►irements of � 92.252 would apply and the owner-occupied unit �vould not be subject to the income targeti►�g or affordability provisions of � 92.254.) 55 Lease-purchnse. HOME funds may be used to assist homebuyers through (ease-purchase programs for existing housing and for housing to be constructed. The housing must be purchased by a homebuyer within 36 months of signing the lease-purchase �igreement. The homebuyer must qualify as a low-income family at the time the lease-purchase agreement is signed. If HOME funds are used to acquire housing that will be resold to a homebuyer through a (ease-purchase program, the [-(ONtE affordability requirements for rental housing in § 92.252 shall apply if the housing is not transferred to a homebuyer �vithin forty-two months after project completion. 8. Contract to ptirchase. [f E-tON1E funds are used to assist a homebuyer who has entered into a contract to purchase housing to be constructed, the homebuyer must qualify as a low-income family at the time the contract is si�;ned. 9. Preservingnff'ordability. (i) Nohvithstanding § 92.214 (a)(6), to preserve the affordability of housing that was previously assisted with FiOME funds and subject to the requirements of § 92.254(a), a participating jurisdiction may use additional HOME tunds to acquire the housing through a p�irchase option, right of first refusal, or other preemptive right before foreclosure, or to acquire the housing at the foreclosure sale, to undertake any necessary eehabilitation, and to provide assistance to another homebuyer. "Che housing must be sold to a new eligible homebuyer in accordance with the requirements of � 92.254(a). Additional E{OME funds may not be used if the mortgage in detault was funded with f-[ONIE funds, (ii) The tofal amount of original and additional HOME assistance may not exceed the maximum per-unit subsidy amount established under � 92.250. Alternatively to charging the cost to the F{OME program under $ 92.206, the participating jurisdiction may charge the cost to the [{OIvtE �rogram under � 92.207, as a reasonable administrative cost of its F[OME program, so that the additional F{OME funds for the housing are not subject to the maximum per-unit subsicly amount. b. Kehnhilit�rtion not rnvolvirig ncquisitron. F{ousing that is currently owned by a tarnily yualities as aftordable housing on(y if: �f�he estim�ited value of the property, after rehabilitation, �loes not exceed 95 percent of the median purchase price tor the ��rea, described in paragraph (a)(2)(iii) ot�this section; and �I�he housing is the principal residence of an owner 4vhuse family qualities as a low- i�ico�Y�e t�amily at the time HOME funds are committed to the housing. 56 c. Owrrershrp intere,rt. The ownership in the housing assisted under this section must meet the definition of "homeownership" in � 92.2. d. N61V CO!?Sh�uction without acquisitivn. Newly constructed housing that is built on property currently owned by a fami(y which will occupy the housing upon completion, qualifies as affordab(e housing if it meets the requirements under paragraph (a) of this section. § 92.255 Converting Renta) Units to Homeownership Units for Existing Tenants `l�he participating jurisdiction may permit the owner of �{ONtE-assisted rental units to convert the rental units to homeownership units by selling, donating, or otherwise conveying the units to the existing tenants to enable the tenants to become homeowners in accordance with the requirements of § 92.254. [f no additional f-[ONtE fiinds are used to enable the tenants to become ho►neowners, the homeownership units are subject to a minimum period of affordability equal to the remaining affordable period if the units continued as rental units. If additional HON1E fi�nds are used to directly assist the tenlnts to become homeo�vners, the minimum period of affordability is the affordability period under � 92.254(a)(4), based on the amount of direct homeownership assistance provided. § 92.256 Reserved § 92,257 Religious Organizations a. Organizations that are religious or taith-based are eligible, on the same basis as any other organizatian, to participate in the Ef0[VtE program. Neither the fed�;ral government nor a state or local government receiving furlds under f{ONtE programs shall discriminate against an organization on the basis of the org�nization's re(igious character or af'tili<ition. b. Organizations that are directly funded uncler the HOME program may not engage in inherently religious activities, such as worship, religious instruction, or pcoselytization, as part of the assistance funded under this part. [f an organization conducts such activities, the activities must be offered separately, in time or location, from the assistance funded under this part, and participation must be volw�tary for the beneFiciaries of the �issistance provided. A religious organization that participates in the E{OME program will retain its independence from federa(, state, and local governments, and may continue to carry out its mission, including the definition, practice, and expression of its religious beliefs, provided that it does not use direct HOt�tE funds to support any inherently r•eligious �►ctivities, such as �vorsfiip, religious instruction, or proselytiration. Among other things, f<lith-based organizatioiis may use space in their facilities, without removing religious art, icons, scriptures, or other religious symbols. ln addition, a( fOME-funded religious organization retains its authority over its internal governance, and it may retain rcligious tcrms in its or�;anization's name, select its board mernbers on a religious basis, and inc(ude religious references in its organization's mission state►nents and ather �overning clocuments. 57 d. An organization that participates in the E-{OME progr�m shall not, in providing program assistance, discriminate against a program beneticiary or prospective program beneficiary on the basis of religion or religious belief. e. FIOME funds may not be used for the acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of structures to the extent that those structures are used for inherently re(igious activities. HONtE funds may be used For the acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of structures only to the extent that those structures are used for conducting eligible activities under this p�irt. Where a structure is used for both eligible and inherently religious activities, E[OME funds may not e:cceed the cost of those portions of the acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation that are attributable to eligible activities in accordance with the cost accounting requirements app(icable to HONtE funds in this part. Sanctu�iries, chapels, or other rooms that a HONIE-funcled religious congregation uses as its principal place of worship, however, are ineligible for HOME-funded improvements. Disposition of real property after the term of the grant, or any change in use of the property during the term of the grant, is subject to government-wide regul�tions governing real property disposition (see 24 CFR parts 84 and 35). [f a state or (ocal government voluntarily contributes its own fiinds to supplement federally f'unded activities, the state or local government has the option to segregate the federal funds or commingle them. F{owever, if the funds are commingled, this section applies to al( of the commingled tiinds. § 92.258 Elder Cottage Housing Opportunity (ECHO) Units a. Ceneral. HOME ftinds may be used for the initial purchase and initial p(acement costs of e(der cottage housing opporhinity (ECHO) units that meet the requirements of this section, and that are small, Fcee-standing, barrier-free, energy-efficient, removable, and designed to be installed adjacent to existing single-family dwe(lings. b.

The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular rate is union or non-union. Union identifiers An idenCifier enclosed .in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" denotes that the union classiFication and rate ilave found to be prevailing for that classification. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/O1/2011. The first four letters , PLUM, indicate the international union and the four-digit number, 0198, that follows 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 ineernal number used in processing the waqe determination. The date, 07/O1/?011, following these characters is the eFfective <9ate of the most current negotiated rate/collectiv� bargaining aqreement which would be July l, 2011 in the above example. Union prevailing wage rates will be updated to reflect any chanqes in the collective bargaining aqreements governing the rates. UQ00/9999: weiqhted union waqe rates will be published annually each January. Non-Union identifiers Classifications listed under an "SU" identifier were derived from survey data by computinq averaye rates vI1C� are not union rates; however, r_he data used in computinq these rates may include bot.h union and non-union data. Example: StJLA2004-007 5/13/2U10.

This Guide does not address contractor requirements involved in direct Federal contracting where HUD or another Federal agency enters into a procurement contract. In this latter case, the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) are appli- cable. While the guidance contained in this Guide is generally applicable to any Davis-Bacon covered project, specific questions pertaining to direct Federal contracts should be addressed to the Contracting Officer who signed the contract for the Federal agency. Our objective here is to provide you with a guide which is simple and non-bureaucratic yet comprehensive and which will help you better understand and comply with Davis-Bacon labor standards. NUD's Office of Labor Relations worked closely with the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division to make sure that the labor standards provisions in your contract and the specifics of complying with them represent the latest information. It is the Department of Labor which has generat administrative oversight of all Federal contracting agencies, such as HUD, which administer the day-to-day responsibilities of enforcing Davis-Bacon provisions in construction contracts they either fund or assist in funding. There are three chapters in this Guide. The flrst chapter offers a brief description of the laws and regulations associated with Federal labor standards administration and enforcement and discusses both what's in your contract that requires Davis-Bacon compliance and your respon- sibilities. The second chapter deals with labor standards and payroll reporting requirements. The third chapter discusses what can happen in the event there is a dispute about the wage rates that should be (or have been) paid and any back wages that may be due. Finally, not all HUD construction projects are covered by Davis-Bacon wage rates. For the pur- pose of this Guide, we are assuming that a determination has already been made that Davis- Bacon wage rates are applicable. Should you wish assistance in determining whether Davis- Bacon wage rates apply to a particular project or if you need other related technical assistance, please consult with the NUD Labor Relations Field staff for your area. If you don't know which staff to contact, a list of Labor Relations field offices and their geographic areas and telephone numbers can be found on HUD's Home Page at the address below.

The Davis-Bacon Act (DBA� The Davis-Bacon Act requires the payment of prevailing wage rates (which are determined by the U.S. Department of Labor) to all laborers and mechanics on Federal government and District of Columbia construction projects in excess of $2,000. Construction includes alteration and/or repair, including painting and decorating, of public buildings or public works. Most HUD construction work is not covered by the DBA itseli since HUD seldom contracts directly for construction services. Most often, if Davis-Bacon wage rates apply to a HUD project it is because of a labor provision contained in one of HUD's "Related Acts" such as the U. S. Housing Act of 1937, khe National Housing Act, the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990, and the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act af 1996. The Related Acts are often referred to as the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts o� DBRA. b. The Contract Work Hours and Safe�,y Standards Act jCWHSSA�, CWHSSA requires time and one-half pay for overtime (O/T) hours (over 40 in any workweek) worked on the covered project. The CWHSSA applies to both direct Federal contracts and to indirect Federally-assisted contracts except where the assistance is solely in the nature of a loan guarantee or insurance. CWHSSA violations carry a liquidated damages penalty ($10/day per violation). Intentional violations of CWHSSA standards can be considered for Federal criminal prosecution. CWHSSA does not apply to prime cantracts of $100,000 or I�ss. In addition, some HUD projects are not covered by CWHSSA because some HUD programs only provide loan guarantees nr insurance. CWNSSA also does not apply to construction or rehabilitation contracts that are not subject to Fed�ral prevailing wage rates (e.g., Davis-�acon wage rates, or NUD-determined rates for operation of public hnusing and Indian block grant- assisted housing). However, even though CWHSSA overtime pay is not required, Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) avertime pay is probably still applicable. (See also Labor Relations Letter SL-95-01, CWHSSA Coverage threshold for overtime and health and safety provision, available on-line at the HUD Labor Relations Library at: www.hud.gov/ offices/olr/library.cfm) 1-1 c. The Coaeland Act (Anti-KlGkhar.k Act1 The Copeland Act makes it a Federal crime for anyone to require any laborer or mechanic (employed on a Federal or Federally- assisted project) to kickback (i.e., give up or pay back) any part of their wages. The Copeland Act requires every employer (contractors and subcontractors) to submit weekly certified payroll reports (CPRs) and regulates permissible payroll deductions. d. The Fair Labor Standards Act ( LF SA1 The FLSA contains Federal minimum wage rates, overtime (O/T), and child labor requirements. These requirements generally apply to any labor performed. The DOL has the authority to administer and enforce FLSA. HUD will refer to the DOL any possible FLSA violations that are found on HUD projects. '' =: •► ' : •� The Department of Labor (DOL) has published rules and instructions concerning Davis-Bacon and other labor laws in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). These regulations can be found in Title 29 CFR Parts 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7. Part 1 explains how the DOL establishes and publishes DBA wage determinations (aka wage decisions) and provides instructions on how to use the determinations. Part 3 describes Copeland Act requirements for payroll deductions and the submission of weekly certified payroll reports. Part 5 covers the labor standards provisions that are in you� contract relating to Davis- Bacon Act wage rates and the responsibilities of contractors and contracting agencies to administer and enforce the provisions. Part 6 provides for administrative proceedings enforcing Federal labor standards on construction and service contracts. Last, Part 7 sets parameters for practice before the Administrative Review Board. These regulations are used as the basis for administering and enforcing the laws. DOL Regulations are available on-line on the World Wide Web: http://www.dol.gov/dol/allcfrlTitle_29. htm •► : , •► •► :: •:• �. , Each contract subject to Davis-Bacon labor standards requirements must contain labor standards clauses and a Davis-Bacon wage decision. These documents are normally bound into the contract specifications. a. The labor standards clauses. The labor standards clauses describe the responsibilities of the contractor concerning Davis-Bacon wages and obligate the contractor to comply with the labor requirements. The labor standards clauses also provide for remedies in the event of violations, including withholding from payments due to the contractor to ensure khe payment of wages or liquidated damages which may be found due. These contract clauses enable the contract administrator to enforce the Federal labor standards applicable to the project. HUD has standard forms that contain contract clauses. For example, the HUD-2554, Supplementary Conditions to the Contract for Construction, �nrhich is issued primarily for FHA rnultifamily housing and other construction projects 1-2 administered by HUD; the HUD-4010, Federal �abor Standards Provisions, which is used for CDBG and HOME projects, and the HUD-5370, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction or the HUD-5370-EZ (construction contracts s$100,000) which are used for Public and Indian Housing projects. HUD program labor standards forms are available on-line at: www.hud.gov/offices/adm/hudclips/index.cfm � � b. Davis-Bacon Wage Decisions. The Davis-Bacon wage decision (or wage determination) is a listing of various construction work classifications, such as Carpenter, Electrician, Plumber and Laborer, and the minimum wage rates (and fringe benefits, where prevailing) that people performing work in those classifications must be paid. Davis-Bacon wage decisions are established by the DOL for various types of construction (e.g., residential, heavy, highway) and apply to specific geographic areas, usually a county or group of counties. Wage decisions are modified from time to time to keep them current. In most cases, when the contract is awarded or when construction begins, the wage decision is "locked-in" and no future modifications are applicable to the contract or project involved. All current Davis-Bacon wage decisions can be accessed on-line at no cost at: http://www.wdol.gov � / , ' '•► ,; • � " 1 '_- •� ',: •: The principal contractor (also referred to as the prime or general confracfor) is responsible for the full compliance of all employers (the contractor, subcontractors and any lower-tier subcontractors) with the tabor standards provisions applicable to the project. Because of the contractual relationship between a prime contractor and his/her subcontractors, subcontractors generally should communicate with the contract administrator only through the prime contractor. (See Contract Administrator, below.) To make this Guide easier to understand, the term "prime contractor" will mean the principal contractor; "subcontractor" will mean all subcontractors including lower-tier subcontractors; and the term "employer" will mean all contractors as a group, including the prime contractor and any subcontractors and lower-tier subcontractors. 1-3 i ��► � ■- �► � ��ll l i� �► The contract administrator is responsible for the proper administration and enforcement of the Federai labor standards provisions on contracts covered by Davis-Bacon requirements. We use this term to represent the person (or persons) who will provide labor standards advice and support to you and other project principals (e.g., the owner, sponsor, architect), including providing the proper Davis-Bacon wage decision (see 2-1, The Wage Decision) and ensuring that the wage decision and contract clauses are incorporated into the contract for construction. The contract administrator also monitors labor standards compliance (see 2-6, Compllance Reviews) 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 administrator could be an employee or agent of HUD, or of a city or county or public housing agency. For HUD projects administered directly by HUD staff, usually FHA- insured multifamily projects, the contract administrator will be the HUD Labor Relations field staff. But many HUD-assisted projects are administered by local contracting agencies such as Public Housing Agencies (PHAs), Indian tribes and tribally-designated housing entities (TDHEs), and States, cities and counties under HUD's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME programs. In these cases, the contract administrator will likely be local agency staff. In either case, the guidance for you remains essentially the same. The DOL also has a role in monitoring Davis-Bacon administration and enforcement. In addition, DOL has independent authority to conduct investigations. A DOL investigator or other DOL representative may visit Davis-Bacon construction sites to interview construction workers or review payroll information. 1_4 CNAPT�R 2 FiOW TO COMPLY WITH L�1BOR STANDARDS AND PAYROLL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS WHERE TO START? Now that you know you're on a Davis-Bacon project and you know some of the legal and practicai implications, what's next? SECTION I - THE BASICS 2-1 THE WAGE DECISION. Davis-Bacon labor standards stipulate the wage payment requirements for Carpenters, Electricians, Plumbers, Roofers, Laborers, and other construction work classifications that may be needed for the project. The Davis-Bacon wage decision that applies to the project contains a schedule of work classifications and wage rates that must be followed. If you don't have it already (and by now you should), you'll want to get a copy of the applicable Davis-Bacon wage decision. Remember, the wage decision is contained in the contract specifications along with the labor standards clauses. See 1-3, Construction Contract Provisions. \ / a. The work classifications and wage rates� A Davis-Bacon wage decision is simply a listing of different work classifications and the minimum wage rates that must be paid to anyone performing work in those classifications. You'll want to make sure that the work classification(s) you need are contained in the wage decision and make certain you know exactly what wage rate(s) you will need to pay. Some wage decisions cover several counties and/or types of construction work (for example, residential and commercial work) and can be lengthy and difficult to read. Contact the contract administrator (HUD Labor Relations field staff or local agency staffl if you have any trouble reading the wage decision or finding the work classification(s) you need. To mak� reading leng#hy wage decisions easier for you, the cnntract administrator may prepare a Project Wage Rate Sheet (HUD-4720). This Sheet is a one-page transcript that will show only the classifications and wage rates for a particular project. A blank capy of a Project Wage Rate Sheet is provided for you in the appendix. Also, a fillable version of this form is available on-line at HUDCIips (see web address in the Appendix). Contact the contract administrator monitoring your project for assistance with a Project Wage Rate Sheet. 2-1 b. Postinq the wage decision. If you are the prime contractor, you will be responsible for posting a copy of the wage decision (or the Project Wage Rate Sheet) and a copy of the DOL Davis-Bacon poster titied Employee Rights under the Davis-Bacon Act (Form WH- 1321 } at the job site in a place that is easily accessible to all of the construction workers employed at the project and where the wage decision and poster won't be destroyed by wind or rain, etc. The Employee Rights under the Davis-8acon Act poster is available in English and Spanish on-line at HUDCIips (see address in the Appendix). The Employee Rights under the Davis-Bacon Act poster (WH-1321) replaces the Notice to all Employees. The new poster is available in English and Spanish on-line at HUDCIips (see address in the Appendix). 2-2 ADDITIONAL "TRADE" CLASSIFICATIONS AND WAGE RATES. What if the work classification you need isn't on the wage decision? If the work classification(s) that you need doesn't appear on the wage decision, you will need to request an additional classification and wage rate. This process is usually very simple and you'll want to start the request right away. Basically, you identify the classification you need and recommend a wage rate for DOL to approve for the project. There are a few rules about additional classifications; you'll find these rules in the DOL regulations, Part 5, and in the labor clauses in your contract. The rules are summarized for you here: a. Additional classification rules. Additional classifications and wage rates can be approved if: 1. The requssted classification is used by construction contractors in the area of the project. (The area is usually defined as the county where the project is located). 2. The wark that will be performed by the requested classification is not already performed by another classification that is already on the wage decisian. (In other words, if there already is an Electrician classification and wage rate on the wage decision you can't request another Electrician classification and rate.) 3. The proposed wage rate fvr the requested classification "fits" with the other wage rates already on ih� wage decision. (�or example, the wage rate propased for a trade classi�cation such as Electrician must be at least as much as the lowest wage rate for oiher trade classific�tions �Iready contained in the wage decision.) And, 4. The warkers that wiil be emplayed in the added classification (if it is known who the workers are/will be), or the workers' representatives, must agree with the proposed wage rate. 2-2 b. Making the reauest. A request for additional classification and wage rate must be made in writing through the contract administrator. (If the contract administrator is a locai agency, the agency will send the request to the HUD Labor Relations staff.) If you are a subcontractor, your request shouid aiso go through the prime contractor. Ali you need to do is identify the work classification that is missing and recommend a wage rate (usually the rate that employer is already paying to the employees performing the work) for that classification. You may also need to describe the work that the new classification will perform. c. HUD review. The HUD Labor Relations field staffwill review the requested classification and wage rate to determine whether the request meets the DOL rules outlined in paragraph 2-2(a), above. If additional information or clarification is needed, the staff will contact the prime contractor (or contract administrator for local agency projects) for more information, etc. If the Labor Relations review finds that the request meets the rules, the staff will give preliminary approval on the request and refer it to the DOL for final approval. The staff will send to you a copy of the preliminary approval/referral letter to the DOL. If the HUD �abor Relations staff doesn't think the request meets the rules and if agreement can't be reached on the proper classification or wage rate for the work described, the HUD Labor Relations staff will not approve the request. In this case, the staff will send your request to the DOL with an explanation why HUD believes that the request shouldn't be approved. The DOL still has final decision authority. You will receive a copy of the disapproval/referral letter to the DOL. d. DOL decision. The DOL will respond to HUD Labor Relations in writing about the additional classification and wage rate request. HUD Labor Relations will notify you of the DOL decision in writing. If the DOL approves the request, the prime contractor must post the approval notice on the job site with the wage decision. If the DOL does not approve the request, you will be notified about what classification and wage rate should be used for the work in question. You will also receive instructians about how to ask for DOL reconsideration if you still want to try to get your recommendation approved. It's always a good idea to talk to the contract administrator before submitting an additional classification and wage rate request. The contract administratnr can offer suggestions and advice that rnay save you time and increase the likelihood ihat DOL will apprnve your request. Usually, the contract administrator can give you an idea about what the DOL will finally decide. 2-3 �- c�ii I� � ' _\'T:Z�I_��f:� '�1•J:i��l You'li need to submit a weekly certified payroll report (CPR) beginning with the first week that your company works on the project and for every week afterward until your firm has completed its work. It's always a good idea to number the payroll reports beginning with #1 and to clearly mark your last payroll for the project "Final." a. Payroll formats. The easiest form to use is DOL's WH-347, Payroll. A sample copy of the WH-347 is included in the back of this Guide. You may access a fillable version of the WH-347 on-line at HUDCIips (see web address in the Appendix). Also, the contract administrator can provide a few copies of the WH-347 that you can reproduce. You are not required to use Payroll form WH-347: You are welcome to use any other type of payroll, such as computerized formats, as long as it contains all of the information that is required on the WH-347. b. Payroll certifications. The weekly payrolls are called certified because each payroll is signed and contains language certifying that the information is true and correct, The payroll certification language is on the reverse side of the WH-347. If you are using another type of payroll format you may attach the certification from the back of the WH- 347, or any other format which contains the same certification language on the WH-347 (reverse). DOL's website has Payroll Instructions and the Payroll form WH-347 in a"fillable" PDF format at this address: www.dol.gov/whd/forms/wh347. pdf c. "No work" �yrolls. "No work" payrolls may be submitted whenever there is a temporary break in your work on the project, for example, if your firm is not needed on the project right now but you will be returning to the job in a couple of weeks. (See tip box, for "no work" payroll exemption!) However, if you know that your firm will not be working on the project for an extended period of time, you rnay wish to send a short note to the contract administrator to let them know about ihe break in work and to give an approximate d�te when your firm will return to the project. If you number payrolls consecutively or if you send a note, you do not need to send "no work" payrolls. / If you number your payroll reports consecutively, you do not need ta submit "no work" payrolls! � / 2-4 d. Payrolireviewandsubmission Theprimecontractorshouldrevieweachsubcontractor's payroil reports for compliance prior to submitting the reports to the contract administrator. Remember, the prime contractor is responsibie for the full compliance of ali subcontractors on the contract and will be held accountable for any wage restitution that may be found due to any laborer or mechanic that is underpaid and for any liquidated damages that may be assessed for overtime violations. All of the payroll reports for any project must be submitted to the contract administrator through the prime contractor. An alert prime contractor that reviews subcontractor payroll submissions can detect any misunderstandings early, prevent costly underpayments and protect itself from financial loss should underpayments occur. e. Payroll retention. Every contractor (including every subcontractor) must keep a complete set of their own payrolls and other basic records such as employee addresses and full SSNs, time cards, tax records, evidence of fringe benefit payments, for a Davis-Bacon project for at least 3 years after the project is completed. The prime contractor must keep a complete set of all of the payrolls for every contractor (including subcontractors) for at least 3 years after completion of the project. f. Pavroll inspection. In addition to submitting payrolls to the contract administrator, every contractor (including subcontractors) must make their own copy of the payrolls and other basic records available for review or copying to any authorized representative from HUD or from DOL. � �_ -_ •► � ► •► Before we discuss how to complete the weekly payroll forms, we need to review a couple of definitions. These definitions can help you understand what wilt be required of you: a. �.aborer or mechanic. "Laborers" and "mechanics" mean anyone who is performing construction work on the project, including trade journeymen (carpenters, plumbers, sheet metal workers, etc.), apprentices, and trainees and, for CWHSSA purposes, watchmen and guards. "Laborers" and "mechanics" are the two groups of workers that must be paid not less than Davis-Bacon wage rates. 1. Working for�men. Foremen or supervisors that rPgularly spend rnore than 20% of their time performing construction work and do not meet the exclusions in paragraph 2 below are covered "laborers" and "mechanics" for labor standards purposes for the time spent performing construction work. 2. Exclusions. People whose duties are primarily administrative, executive or clerical are not laborers or mechanics. Examples include superintendents, o�ce staff, timekeepers, messengers, etc. (Contact the contract administrator if ynu have any questions about whether a particular employee is excluded.) 2-5 b. Emgloyee. Every person who performs the work of a laborer or mechanic is "employed" regardiess of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between a contractor or subcontractor and such person. This means that even if there is a contract between a contractor and a worker, the contractor must make sure that the worker is paid at least as much as the wage rate on the wage decision for the classification of work they perform. Note that there are no exceptions to the prevailing wage requirements for relatives or for self-employed laborers and mechanics. For more information about working subcontractors, ask the contract administrator or your HUD Labor Relations Field Staff for a copy of Labor Relations Letter LR-96-01, Labor standards compliance requirements for self-employed laborers and mechanics. Labor Relations Letters and other helpful Labor Relations publications are available at HUD's Labor Relations web site (see the list of web site addresses in the Appendix). Apprentices and trainees. The only workers who can be paid less than the wage rate on the wage decision for their work classification are "apprentices" and "trainees" registered in approved apprenticeship or training programs. Approved programs are those which have been registered with the DOL or a DOL-recognized State Apprenticeship Council (SAC). Apprentices and trainees are paid wage rates in accordance with the wage schedule in the approved program. Most often, the apprentice/trainee wage rate is expressed as a series of percentages tied to the amount of time spent in the program. For example, 0-6 months: 65%; 6 months - 1 year: 70%; etc. The percentage is applied to the journeyman's wage rate. On Davis- Bacon projects, the percentage must be applied to the journeyman's wage rate on the applicable wage decision for that craft. 1. Prabationary a�prentice A"probationary apprentice" can be paid as an apprentice (less than the rate on the wage decision) if the DOL or SAC has certified that the person is eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. Z. Pr„ e-a��arentice A"pre-apprentice", that is, someone who is not registered in a program and who hasn't been DOL- or SAC-certi�ed for probationary apprenticeship is not considered to be an "apprentice" and must be paid the full journeyman's rate on the wage decision for the classification of work they perform. 3. �atio of aaarentices and traineA_ to journ�Ymen The maximum number of apprentices or trainees that you can use on the job site cannot exceed the ratio of apprentices or trainees to journeymen allowed in the approved program. 2-6 d. Prevailing wages or wage rates. Prevailing wage rates are the wage rates listed on the wage decision for the project. The wage decision will list a minimum basic hourty rate of pay for each work classification. Some wage decisions include fringe benefits which are usually listed as an hourly fringe rate. If the wage decision includes a fringe benefit rate for a classi�cation, you will need to add the fringe benefit rate to the basic hourly rate unless you provide bona fide fringe benefits for your employees. 1. Piece-work. Some employees are hired on a piece-work basis, that is, the employee's earnings are determined by a factor of work produced. For example, a Drywall Hanger's earnings may be calculated based upon the square feet of sheetrock actually hung, a Painter's earnings may be based upon the number of units painted. Employers may calculate weekly earnings based upon piece rates provided the weekly earnings are sufficient to satisfy the wage rate requirement based upon actual hours, including any overtime, worked. Accurate time records must be maintained for any piece-work employees. If the weekly piece rate earnings are not sufficient, the employer must recompute weekly earnings based upon the actual hours worked and the rate on the wage decision for the work classification(s) involved. e. Fringe benefit� Fringe benefits can include health insurance premiums, retirement contributions, life insurance, vacation and other paid leave as well as some contributions to training funds. Fringe benefits do not include employer payments or contributions required by other Federal, State or local laws, such as the employer's contribution to Social Security or some disability insurance payments. Note that the total hourly wage rate paid ta any laborer or mechanic (basic wage or basic wage plus fringe benefits} may be no less than the total wage rate (basic wage or basic wage plus fringe benefits) on the wage decision far their craft. If the value of the fringe benefit(s) you provide is less than the fringe benefit rate on the wage decision, you will need to add the balance of the wage decision fringe bene�t rate to the basic rate paid to the employee. For example, if the wage decision requires $10/hour basic rate plus $5/ hour fringe benefits, you must pay no less than that total ($15/haur) in the basic rate or basic rate plus whatever fringe benefit you may provide. You can meet this obligation in several ways: you could pay the base wage and fringe benefits as stated in the wage decision, or you could pay $15 in base wage with no fringe benefits, or you could pay $12 basic plus $3 fringe benefits. You can also off-set the amaunt of the base wage if you pay rnnre in fringe bene�ts such as by paying nr �9 basic plus $6 fringe benefits; as long as you meet the total amaunt. The amount of the base wage that you may off-set with fringe bene�ts is limited by certain IRS and FLSA requirements. f. Overtime Overtime hours are defined as all hours worked on the contract in excess of 40 hour� in any work week. Overtime hours must be paid at no less than one and one- half times the regular rate of basic pay plus the straight-time rate of any required fringe benefits. 2-7 g. Deductions. You may make payroll deductions as permitted by DOL Regulatians 29 CFR Part 3. These regulations prohibit the employer from requiring employees to "kick-back" (i.e., give up) any of their earnings. Allowable deductions which do not require prior DOL permission include employee obligations for income taxes, Social Security payments, insurance premiums, retirement, savings accounts, and any other legally-permissible deduction authorized by the employee. Deductions may also be made for payments on judgments and other financial obligations legally imposed against the employee. Referring, again, to our example above where the wage decisian requiring a$15 total wage obligation ($10 basic wage plus $5 fringe benefits) was met by paying $9 base wage plus $6 fringe benefits: Note that overtime rates must be based on one and one-half times the basic rate as stated on the wage decision. In the above example, the employer must pay for overtime: $15/hr ($9 basic +$6 fringe) plus $5 (one-half of $10, the wage decision basic rate) for a total of $20 per hour. h. Proaer designation of trade. You must select a work classification on the wage decision for each worker based on the actual type of work he/she performed and you must pay each worker no less than the wage rate on the wage decision for that classification regardless of their level of skill. In other words, if someone is performing carpentry work on the project, they must be paid no less than the wage rate on the wage decision for Carpenters even if they aren't considered by you to be fully trained as a Carpenter. Remember, the only people who can be paid less than the rate for their craft are apprentices and trainees registered in approved programs, Salit-classification. If you have employees that perform work in more than one trade during a work week, you can pay the wage rates specified far each classification in which work was performed only if you maintain accurate time records showing the amount of time spent in each classi�cation of work. If you do not maintain accurate time records, you must pay these employees the highest wage rate of all of the classifications of work performed. Site vf work, The "site of work" is where the Davis-Bacon wage rates apply. Usually, this means the boundaries of the project. "Site of work" can also include other adjacent or vi�#ually adjacent property used by a contractor or subcontractor in the construction of the project, like a fabrication site that is dedicated exclusively, or nearly so, to the project. : SECTION II - REPORTING REQUIREMENTS •i�' ► : '_ :� _ : _'•: What information has to be reported on the payroli form? The weekly payrol) form doesn't ask for any information that you don't already need to keep for wage payment and tax purposes. For example, you need to know each employee's name; his or her work classification (who is warking for you and what do they do?), the hours worked during the week, his or her rate of pay, the gross amount earned (how much did they earn?), the amounts of any deductions for taxes, etc., and the net amount paid (how much should the paycheck be made out for?). No more information than you need to know in order to manage your work crew and make certain they are paid properly. And, certainly, no more information than you need to keep for IRS, Social Security and other tax and employment purposes. For many contractors, the Weekly Certified Payroll is the only Davis-Bacon paperwork you need to submit( � � You are required to submit certified payrolls to illustrate and document that you have complied with the prevailing wage requirements. The purpose of the contract administrator's review of your payrolls is to verify your compliance. Clearer and complete payroll reports will permit the contract administrator to complete reviews of your payroll reports quickly. 0 Proiect and contractor/subcontractor information Each payroll must identify the contractor or subcontractor's name and address, the project name and number, and the week ending date. Indicate the week dates in the spaces provided. Numbering payrolls is optional but strongly recommended. b. Emp�QYee information. Effective January 18, 2009, payrolls shall not report employee addresses or full Social Security Numbers (SSNs). Instead, #he first payroll on which each employee appears shall include the employee's name and an individually identifying number, usually the last 4 digits of the employee's SSN. Afterward, the identifying number does not need to be reported unless it is necessary to distinguish between employees, e.g., if two employees have the same name. Employers (prime contractors and subcontractors) must maintain the current address and full SSN for each employee and must provide this information upon request to the contracting agency or other authorized representative responsible for federal labor standards compliance monitoring. Prime contractors may require a subcontractor(s) to provide this information for the prime contractor's records. DOL has modified form WN- 347, Payroll, to accommodate these reporting requirements. Wark classification. Each employee must be ctassified in accordance with the wage decision based on the type of work they actually perform. 2-9 1. Aggrentices or trainees. The first payroll on which any apprentice or trainee appears must be accompanied by a copy of that apprentice's or trainee's registration in a registered or approved program. A copy of the portions of the registered or approved program pertaining to the wage rates and ratios shall also accompany the first payroll on which the first apprentice or trainee appears. 2. Split classi�cations. For an employee that worked in a split classification, make a separate entry for each classification of work performed distributing the hours of work to each classification, accordingly, and reflecting the rate of pay and gross earnings for each classification. Deductions and net pay may be based upon the total gross amount earned for all classifications. d. Hours worked. The payroll should show ONLY the regular and overtime hours worked on this project. Show both the daily and total weekly hours for each employee. If an employee performs work at job sites other than the project for which the payroll is prepared, those "other job" hours should not be reported on the payroll. In these cases, you should list the employee's name, classification, hours for this project only, the rate of pay and gross earnings for this project, and the gross earned for all projects. Deductions and net pay may be based upon the employee's total earnings (for all projects) for the week. e. Rate of �av_. Show the basic hourly rate of pay for each employee for this project. If the wage decision includes a fringe benefit and you do not participate in approved fringe benefit programs, add the fringe benefit rate to the basic hourly rate of pay. Also list the overtime rate if overtime hours were worked. 1. Piece-work. For any piece-work employees, the employer must compute an effective hourly rate for each employee each week based upon the employee's piece-work earnings for that week. To compute the effective hourly rate, divide the piece-wnrk earnings by the total number of hours worked, including consideration for any overtime hours. The effective hourly rate must be reflected on the certified payroll and this hourly rate may be no less than the wage rate (including fringe benefits, if any) on the wage decision for the classification of work performed. It does not matter that the Pffective hourly rate changes from week-to-week, only khat the rate is no less than the rate on the wage decision for the classification of work performed. f�emember, the nvertime rate is computed at nne and ane-half times the basic rate of p�y plus any fringe benefits. �or example, if the wage decision requires $10/hour basic plus $5/hour fringe benefits, the overtime rate would be: ($10 x 1'/2) +$5 =$20/hour. f. Grass wages earned, Show the gross amount of wages earned for work performed on this project. Note: For employees with work hours and earnings on other projects, you may show gross wages for this project over gross earnings all projects (for example, $425.�0/$764.85) and base deductions and net pay on the "all projec4s° earnings. 2-10 g. Deductions. Show the amounts of any deductions from the gross earnings. "Othe�" deductions should be identified (for exampie, Savings Account or Loan Repayment). Any voluntary deduction (that is, not required by law or by an order of a proper authority) must be authorized in writing by the employee or provided for in a collective bargaining (union) agreement. A short note signed by the employee is all that is needed and should accompany the first payroll on which the other deduction appears. Only one employee authorization is needed for recurring (e.g., weekly) other deductions. Written employee authorization is not required for income tax and Social Security deductions. h. Ne a Show the net amount of wages paid. i. Statement of com�liance. The Statement of Compliance is the certification. It is located on the reverse side of a standard payroll form (WH-347). Be sure to complete the identifying information at the top, particularly if you are attaching the Statement of Compliance to an alternate payroll form such as a computer payroll. Also, you must check either 4(a) or 4(b) if the wage decision contains a fringe benefit. Checking 4(a) indicates that you are paying required fringe benefits to approved plans or programs; and 4(b) indicates that you are paying any required fringe benefit amounts directly to the employee by adding the fringe benefit rate to the basic hourly rate of pay, If you are paying a portion of the required fringe benefit to programs and the balance directly to the employee, explain those differences in box 4(c). Only one Statement of Compliance is required for each employer's weekly payroll no matter how many pages are needed to report the emplayee data. �janature. Make sure the payroll is signed with an original signature in ink. The payroll must be signed by a principal of the firm (owner or officer such as the president, treasurer or payroll administrator) or by an authorized agent (a person authorized by a principal in writing to sign the payroll reports). Signature authorization (for persons other than a principal) should be submitted with the first payroll signed by such �n agent. Signatures in pencil; signature stamps; xerox, pdf and other facsimiles are not acceptable. 2-11 SECTION I11 - PAYROLL REVIEWS AND CORRECTIONS r . •i�' • ► 5'E� The contract administrator or other inspecto� may visit the project site and interview some of the workers concerning their employment on the project. The DOL may also independently conduct its own reviews (see 1-5). In addition, the contract administrator will periodically review payrolls and related submissions, comparing the interview information to the payrolls, to ensure that the labor standards requirements have been met. You will be notified by the contract administrator if these reviews find any discrepancies or errors. You will be given instructions about what steps must be taken to correct any problems. a. On-site interviews. Every employer (contractor, subcontractor, etc.) must make their employees available for interview at the job site with the contract administrator or other agency representative, or HUD or DOL representative. The interviews are confidential and the employee will be asked about the kind of work they perform and their rate of pay. Every effort will be made to ensure that these interviews cause as little disruption as possible to the on-going work. The interviewer will record the interview information, usually on a form HUD-11, Record of Employee Interview, and forward the interviews to the contract administrator. b. Project gayroll reviews. The contract administrator will compare the information on the interview forms to the corresponding payrolls to ensure that the workers are properly listed on the payrolls for the days and hours worked on the job site, work classification and rate of pay. The contract administrator will also review the payroll submissions to make certain that the payrolls are complete and signed; that employees are paid no less than the wage rate for the work classification shown; apprentice and trainee certifications are submitted (where needed); employee or other authorizations for other deductions are submitted (where needed); etc. ► ' 1 '� :• 'i•i �l� : � i► � •i' •l The following paragraphs describe common payroll errors and the corrective steps you must take. a. Ir a�auate �ayr411 information, If an alternate payroll format used by an empfoyer (such as some computer payrolls) is inadequ�te, e.g., does not contain all of the necessary information that would be on the optional form WH-3�t7, the employer will be asked to resubmit the payrolls on an acceptable form. b. Missinq identitication numbers. If the first payroll on which an employee appears does not contain the employee's individua�ly identifying number, the employer will be asked to supply the missing information. This information can be reported on the next payroll submitted by the employer if the employe� is still working on the project. Otherwise, the emptoyer will be asked to submit a correction certified payroll. ?_-12 c. Incom Ip ete ga_yrolis. If the information on the payroll is not complete, for example, if work classifications or rates of pay are missing, the employer wili be asked to send a correction certified payroll. d, Classifications. If the payrolls show work classifications that do not appear on the wage decision, the empioyer will be asked to reclassify the empioyees in accordance with the wage decision or the employer may request an additional classification and wage rate (see 2-2). If reclassification results in underpayment (i.e., the wage rate reported on the payroll is less than the rate required for the new classification), the employe� will be asked to pay wage restitution to all affected reclassified employees. (see 2-8 for instructions about wage restitution.) e. Wage rates. If the wage rates on the payroll are less than the wage rates on the wage decision for the work classifications reported, the employer will be asked to pay wage restitution to all affected employees. f. Apprentices and trainees. If a copy of the employee's registration or the approved program ratio and wage schedule are not submitted with the first payroll on which an apprentice or trainee appears, the smployer will be asked to submit a copy of each apprentice's or trainee's registration and/or the approved program ratio and wage schedule. If the ratio of apprentices or trainees to journeymen on the payroll is greater than the ratio in the approved program, the employer will be asked to pay wage restitution to any excess apprentices or trainees. Also, any apprentice or trainee that is not registered in an approved program must receive the journeyman's wage rate for the classification of work they performed. g. Overtime. If the employees did not receive at least time and one-half for any overtime i�ours worked on the project, the following will occur: If the project is subject to CWHSSA overtime requirements, the employer will be asked to pay wage restitution for all overtime hours warked on the project. The employer may also be liable to the United Sta#es for liquidated damages computed at $10 per day per violation. Or, 2. If the project is not subject to CWHSSA, the employer will be notified of the possible �I.SA overtime violations. Also, the contract administrator may refer the matter to the DOL. for further review. h. C�vm�utati�s. If the payroll computations (hours worked times rate of pay) or extensions (deductions, net pay) shaw frequent errors, the employer will be asked to take greater care. V�lage restitution may be required if underpayments resulted from the errors. f�edu�tic,2,ns� If there are any "Other" deductions that are not identified, or if employee authorization isn't provided, or if there is any unusual (very high, or large number) deduction activity, the employer will be asked to identif�j the deductions, provide employee authorization or explain unusual deductions, as necessary, �-13 HUD does not enforce or attempt to provide advice on emplayer obligations to'make deductions frorn empioyee earnings for taxes or Social Security. Nowever, HUD may refer to the IRS or other responsible agency copies of certified payroli reports that show wages paid in gross amounts (i.e., without tax deduction) for its review and appropriate action. j. Frinae benefits. If the wage decision contains fringe benefits but the payroll does not indicate how fringe benefits were paid [neither 4(a) nor 4(b) is marked on the Statement of ComplianceJ, the employer may be asked to submit correction certified payrolls and will be required to pay wage restitution if underpayments occurred. However, if the basic hourly rates for the employees are at least as much as the total wage rate on the wage decision (basic hourly rate plus the fringe benefit rate), no correction is necessary. k. Siqnature. If the payroll Statement of Compliance is not signed or is missing, the employer will be asked to submit a signed Statement of Compliance for each payroll affected. If the Statement of Compliance is signed by a person who is not a principle of the firm and that person has nat been authorized by principle to sign, the employer will be asked to provide an authorization or to resubmit the Statement(s) of Compliance bearing the signature of a principle or other authorized signatory. Qn-site interview com�arisons. If the comparison of on-site interviews to the payrolls indicates any discrepancies (for example, the employee does not appear on the payroll for the date of the interview), the employer will be asked to submit a correction certified payroll report. m. Correction certified �avroll. Any and all changes to data on a submitted payroll report must be reported on a certified correction payroll. In no case will a payroll report be returned to the prime contractor or employer for revision. s , •► •: ��_;.'� t ► • � Where underpayments of wages have occurred, the employer will be required to pay wage restitution to the affected �mployees. Wage restitution must be paid promptly in the full amounts due, less permissible �nd authorized deductions. All wages paid to laborers and mechanics for work performed on the project, including wage restitution, must be reported on a certified payrofl report. 1Votifi� ka ion to the Employer/Prime contractor. The contract administrator will natify the employer and/or prime contractor in writing of any underpayments that are found during payroll or other reviews. The contract administrator will describe the underpayments and provide instructions forcomputing and documenting the restitution to be paid. The employer/ prime contractor is allowed 30 days to correct the underpayments. Note that the prime contractor is responsible to the contract administrator for ensuring that restitution is paid. If the employer is a subcontractor, the subcontractorwill usually make the computations and restitution payments and furnish the required docurnentation through the prime contractor. ?_ -14 � The contract administrator may communicate directiy with a subcontractor when the underpayments are plainiy evident and the subcontractor is cooperative, It is best to work through the prime contractor when the issues are complex, when there are significant underpayments and/or the subcontractor is not cooperative. In ali cases, the subcontractor must ensure that the prime contractor receives a copy of the required corrective documentation. b. Com�uting waqe restittation. Wage restitution is simply the difference between the wage rate paid to each affected employee and the wage rate required on the wage decision for atl hours worked where underpayments occurred. The difference in the wage rates is called the adjustment rate. The adjustment rate times the number of hours involved equals the gross amount of restitution due. You may also compute wage restitution by calculating the total amount of Davis-Bacon wages earned and subtracting the total amount of wages paid. The difference is the amount of back wages due. c. Correction certified �ayrolls. The employer will be required to report the restitution paid on a correction certified payroll. The correction payroll will reflect the period of time for which restitution is due (for example, Payrolls #1 through #6; or a beginning date and ending date). The correction payroll will list each employee to whom restitution is due and their work classification; the total number of work hours involved (daily hours are usually not applicable for wage restitution); the adjustment wage rate (the difference between the required wage rate and the wage rate paid); the gross amount of restitution due; deductions and the net amount actually paid. A properly signed Statement of Compliance must accompany the correction payroll. HUD no longer requires the signature of the employee on the correction payroll to evidence employee receipt of restitution payment. In additinn, except in the most extraordinary cases, HUD no longer requires employers to submit copies of restitution checks (ce�tified, cashiers, canceled or other), or employee-signed receipts or waivers. d. Review of correction CPR. The contract administrator will review the correction c,ertified payroll to ensure that full restitution was paid. The prime cantractor shall be notified in writing of any discrepancies and will be r�quired to make additional payments, if needed, documented on a correction certified payroll within 30 days. e. l)�fQund workers. Sometimes, wage restitution cannot be paid to an affected employee because, for example, the employee has moved and can't be located. After wage restitution has been paid to all of the workers who could be located, the employer must submit a list of any workers who could not be found and paid (i.e., unfound workers) providing (heir names, Social Security Numbers, last known addresses and the gross amount due. In such cases, at the end of the project the prime contract�r will be required 2-15 to place in a deposit or escrow account an amount equal to the total gross amount of restitution that could not be paid because the empioyee(s) could not be located. The contract administrator wiil continue attempts to locate the unfound workers for 3 years after the completion of the project. After 3 years, any amount remaining in the account for unfound workers will be credited and/or forwarded by the contract administrator to HUD. 2-16 CMAPTER 3 LABOR STANDARDS DISPUTES, ADMINISTRATIVE �EVIEWS, �/ITHHOLC?ING, DEPOSITS AND ESCROW ACCOUNTS, AND SAIVCTIONS r, _ : � s ' • i 3r►'1�L�►�1�.IL�C�%��ITi'i:��I►�1i 3-1 INTRODUCTION. Even in the best of circumstances, things can go wrong. in a Davis-Bacon context, "things going wrong" usually means there's a difference of opinion or a dispute about whether and to what extent underpayments have occurred. These disputes are usually between the contract administrator and one or more employers (the prime contractor and/ or a subcontractor). The dispute may involve something simple such as an additional classification request that is pending before the DOL; or something as significant as investigative findings following a complaint of underpayment. This chapter discusses some of what you may expect and what you can do to make your views known and to lessen any delays in resolving the problem or issue. • �ii IIE��3_ � ► •� :=•:. � ���;� � As mentioned in the Introduction above, a dispute about labor standards and compliance can arise for a number of reasons. The labor standards clauses in your contract and DOL regulations provide for administrative review of issues where there is a difference of views between the contract administrator and any employer. The most common circumstances include: a. Additianal classifications and waqe rates. Additional classification and wage rate requests are sometimes denied by the DOL. An employer that is dissatis�ed with the denial can request reconsideration by the DOL Wage and Hour Administrator. The employer may continue to pay the wage rate, as requested, until a final decision is rendered on the matter. When the final decision is known, the employer will be required to pay any additional wages that may be necessary to satisfy the wage rate that is established. Reconsidera ion, The DOI. normally identifies the reasons for denial in its response to the request. Any interested person (for example, the contract �dministrator, employer, representatives of the employees) may request reconsideration of the decision on the additional classification request. The request for reconsideration must be made in w�iting and must thoroughly address the denial reasons identified by the DOL. Employer requests for reconsideration should be made through the contract administrator but may be made directly to the DOL. (See 2-2(d), and also DOL Regulations 29 CFR 1.8.) All requests initiated by or made through the contract administrator or HUD must be submitted through the HUD Headquarters Office of �abor Relations. 3-1 2. Administrative Review Board. Any interested party may request a review of the Administrator's decision on reconsideration by the DOL's Administrative Review Board. DOL regulations 29 CFR Part 7 explain the procedures for such reviews. (See also 29 CFR 1.9.) b. Findings of undergayment. Compliance reviews and other follow-up enforcement actions may result in findings of underpayment. The primary goal in every case and at every step in this process is to reach agreements about who may have been underpaid and how much wage restitution may be due and, of course, to promptly deliver restitution to any underpaid workers. The contract administrator will usually work informally with you to reach such agreements. You will have an opportunity to provide additional information to the contract administrator that may explain apparent inconsistencies and/or resolve the discrepancies. If informal exchanges do not result in agreement, the final determination and schedule of back wages due will be presented to you in writing and you will be permitted 30 days in which to correct the underpayment(s) or to request a hearing on the matter before the DOL. The request for hearing must be made in writing through the contract administrator and must explain what �ndings are in dispute and the reasons. In such cases, HUD is required to submit a report to DOL for review and further consideration. All requests for DOL hearing must be submitted through the HUD Headquarters Office of Labor Relations. 1. DOL review. The DOL will review the contract administrator's report and the arguments against the findings presented in the hearing request. The DOL may affirm or modify the findings based upon the materials presented. You will be notified in writing by the DOL of the results of its review. If DOL concludes that violations have occurred, you will be given an opportunity to correct any underpayments or to request a hearing before a DOL Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). (See DOL Regulations 29 CFR 5.11 (b) and 29 CFR Part 6, Rules of Practice forAdministrative Proceedings.) 2. Administrative Revi�w Bc�ard. Contractors and/or subcontractors may request a review by the Administrative Review Board of the decision(s) rendered by the DO� ALJ in the administrative hearing process. See DOL regulations 29 CFR Part 7 for more information about this proceeding. ,�• �r The cnntract administraiar shall cause withholding from payments due to the prime contractor to ensure the payment of wages which are believed to be due and unpaid, for example, if wage underpayments or other violations are not corrected within 30 days after written notification to the prime contractor. DOL may also direct the withholding of contract payments for alleged wage underpayments. �thholding is considered to be serinus and is not taken unless warranted. If withholding is deemed necessary, you will be notified in writing. Only the amounts needed to meet the contractor's (and/or subcontractors') liability shall be withheld. 3-2 � � ������J�L�l���:Z�l�►�F� In every case, we attempt to complete compliance actions and resolve any disputes before the project is compieted and final payments are made. Sometimes, corrective actions or disputes continue after compietion and provisions must be made to ensure that funds are available to pay any wage restitution that is ultimately found due. In these cases, we allow projects to proceed to final closing and final payments provided the prime contractor deposits an amount equal to the potential liability for wage restitution and liquidated damages, if necessary, in a special account. The deposit or escrow account is controlled by the contract administrator. When a final decision is rendered, the contract administrator makes disbursements from the account in accordance with the decision. Deposit/escrow accounts are established for one or more of the following reasons: Remember, the prime contractor is responsible and will be held liable for anywage restitution that is due to any worker employed in the construction of the project, including workers employed by subcontractors and any lower-tier subcontractors. See 1-4, Responsibility of the Principal Contractor, and 2-8, Restitution for Underpayment of Wages. a. Where the parties have agreed to amounts of wage restitution that are due but the employer hasn't furnished evidence yet that all of the underpaid workers have received their back wages, e.g., some of the workers have moved and could not be located. The amount of the deposit is equal to the total gross amount of restitution due to workers lacking payment evidence. As these workers are paid and proper documentation is provided to the contract administrator, amounts corresponding to the documented payments are returned to the depositor. Amounts for any workers who cannot be located are held in the deposit/escrow account for three years and disposed as described in 2-8(� of this Guide. b. Where underpayments are suspected or alleged and an investigation has not yet been completed. The deposit is equal to the amount ofwage restitution and any liquidated damages, if applicable, that are estimated to be due. If the final determination of wages due is less than the amount estimated and placed in the escrow account, the escrow will be reduced to the final amount and the difference will be returned to the depositor. If the parties agree to the investigative findings, the amounts due to the workers will be paid by the employer. As these workers are paid and proper documentation is provided to the contract administrator, the gross amounts corresponding to the documented payments are returned to the depositdr. If the employer is unable to make the payments to the workers, e.g., lacks the funds necessary, the contract administrator may make disbursements directly to the workers in the net amounts calculated by the employer. The amounts withheld frorn the workers for tax deduction will be returned to the employer as payments to workers are made. The employer shall be resp�nsible for reporting and transmitting withholdings to the appropriate agencies. 3-3 2. If the employer is not cooperating in the resolution, the contract administrator shall make disbursements to the workers in accordance with the schedule of wages due. Amounts for unfound workers will be retained as described above (See 2-8(� and 3-4(a)). If the parties do not agree and an administrative hearing is requested, the escrow will be maintained as explained in 3-4(c), below. Remember, ifyou haveanyquestionsorneed assistanceconcerning laborstandards requirements help is always available. Contact the contract administrator for the project you're working on or the HUD Field Labor Relations staff in your area. c. Where the parties are waiting for the outcome of an administrative hearing that has been or will be requested contesting a final determination of wages due. The deposit shall be equal to the amount of wage restitution and liquidated damages, if applicable, that have been determined due. Once a final decision is rendered, disbursements from the escrow account are made in accordance with the decision. � �i� � '� _► L�1►E� Contractors and/or subcontractors that violate the labor standards provisions may face administrative sanctions imposed by NUD and/or DOL. a. DOL debarment. Contractors and/or subcontractors that are found by the Secretary of Labor to be in aggravated or willful violation of the labor standards provisions of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts (DBRA) will be ineligible (debarred) to participate in any DBRA or Davis-Bacon Act contracts for up to 3 years. Debarment includes the contractor or subcontractor and any firm, corporation, partnership or association in which the contractor or subcontractor has a substantial interest. Debarment proceedings can be recommended by the contract administrator or can be initiated by the DOL. Debarment proceedings are described in DOL regulations 29 CFR 5.12. b. NUD sanc ity�ns, HUD sanctions may include Limited Denials of Participation (LDPs), debarments and suspensions. 1. �imited Denial �f P�rticiaati�n. HUD may issue to the employer a limited denial of participation (LDP) which prohibits the employer from further participation in HUD programs for a period up to one year. The LDP is usually effective for the HUD program in which the violation occurred and for the geographic jurisdiction of the issuing HUD ��ce. HUD regulations concerning LDP's are found at 24 CFR 24.700-24.714. 3-4 2. Debarment and susaensions. In certain circumstances, NUD may initiate its own debarment or suspension proceedings against a contractor and/or subcontractor in connection with improper actions regarding Davis-Bacon obligations. For example, HUD may initiate debarment where a contractor has been convicted for making false statements (such as false statements on certified payrolls or other prevailing wage certifications) or may initiate suspension where a contractor has been indicted for making false statements. HUD regulations concerning debarment and suspension are found at 24 CFR Part 24. • � � •► • ;. � ': :• '•: -- - Contractors and/or subcontractors that are found to have willfully falsified payroll reports (Statements of Compliance), including correction certified payroll reports, may be subject to civil or criminal prosecution. Penalties may be imposed of $1,000 and/or one year in prison for each false statement (see Section 1001 of Title 18 and Section 231 of Title 31 of the United States Code). Remember, ifyou haveanyquestionsorneed assistanceconcerning laborstandards requirements help is always available.

Lender may apply any proceeds received under the insurance policy either to reduce the Obligation or to repair or replace damaged or destroyed improvements covered by the policy. If the Property is Grantor's primary residence and Lender reasonably determines that repairs to the improvements are economically feasible, Lender will malce the insurance proceeds available to Grantor for repairs. 4. Notwithstanding the terms of the Note to the contrary, and unless applicable law prohibits, all payments received by Lender from Grantor with respect to the Obligation or this Deed of Trust may, at Lender's discretion, be applied first to amounts payable under this Deed of Trust and then to amounts due and payable to Lender with respect to the Obligation, to be applied to late charges, principal, or interest in the order Lender in its discretion determines. 5. If Grantor fails to perform any of Grantor's obligations, Lender may perform those obligations and be reimbursed by Grantor on demand for any amounts so paid, including attorney's fees, plus interest on those amounts from the dates of payment at the rate stated in the DEED OF TRUST — TCHP Page 3 CSC No. C-24714 Rev. 5-17-13 Note for matured, unpaid amounts. The amount to be reimbursed will be secured by this Deed of Trust. 6.

Lender may remedy any default without waiving it and may waive any default without waiving any prior or subsequent default. 8. If the Property is acquired by Lender by foreclosure, Grantor's right to any insurance policies and proceeds resulting from damage to the Property prior the acquisition shall pass to Lender to the extent of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust immediately prior to the acquisition. 9.

Recitals in any trustee's deed conveying the Property will be presumed to be true. 3. Proceeding under this Deed of Trust, filing suit for foreclosure, or pursuing any other remedy will not constitute an election of remedies. 4. This lien will remain superior to liens later created even if the time of payment of all or part of the Obligation is extended or part of the Property is released. 5. If any portion of the Obligation cannot be lawfully secured by this Deed of Trust, payments will be applied first to discharge that portion. 6. Grantor assigns to Lender all amounts payable to or received by Grantor from condemnation of all or part of the Property, from private sale in lieu of condemnation, and from damages caused by public worlcs or construction on or near the Property. After deducting any expenses incurred, including attorney's fees and court and other costs, Lender will either release any remaining amounts to Grantor or apply such amounts to reduce the Obligation. Lender will not be liable for failure to collect or to exercise diligence in collecting any such amounts. Grantor will immediately give Lender notice of any actual or threatened proceedings for condemnation of all or part of the Property. 7. Grantor assigns to Lender absolutely, not only as collateral, all present and future rent and other income and receipts from the Property.

If Grantor defaults in payment of the Obligation or performance of this Deed of Trust, Lender may terminate Grantor's license to collect rent and other income and then as Grantor's agent may rent the Property and collect all rent and other income and receipts. Lender neither has nor assumes any obligations as lessor or landlord with respect to any occupant of the Property, Lender may exercise Lender's rights and remedies under this paragraph without taking possession of the Property. Lender will apply all rent and other income and receipts collected under this paragraph first to expenses incurred in exercising Lender's rights and remedies and then to Grantor's obligations with respect to the Obligation and this Deed of Trust in the order determined by Lender. Lender is not required to act under this paragraph, and acting under this paragraph does not waive any of Lender's other rights or remedies. If Grantor becomes a voluntary or involuntary debtor in banlcruptcy, Lender's filing a proof of claim in banlcruptcy will be deemed equivalent to the appointment of a receiver under Texas law. 8. Interest on the debt secured by this Deed of Trust will not exceed the maximum amount of nonusurious interest that may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged, or received under law. Any interest in excess of that maximum amount will 'be credited on the principal of the debt or, if that has been paid, refunded. On any acceleration or required or permitted prepayment, any such excess will be canceled automatically as of the acceleration or prepayment or, if already paid, credited on the principal of the debt or, if the principal of the debt has been paid, refunded. This provision overrides any conflicting provisions in this and all other instruments concerning the debt. 9. In no event may this Deed of Trust secure payment of any debt that may not lawfully be secured by a lien on real estate or create a lien otherwise prohibited by law. 10. When the context requires, singular nouns and pronouns include the plural. 11.

If any provision of this Deed of Trust is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity or enforceability of any other provision will not be affected: 17. The term Lender includes any mortgage servicer for Lender. 18. Grantor represents that this Deed of Trust and the Note are given for the following purposes: The debt evidenced by the Note is in payment of the purchase price of the Property; the debt is secured both by the Deed of Trust and by a vendor's lien on the Property, which is expressly retained in a deed to Grantor of even date. This Deed of Trust does not waive the vendor's lien, and the two liens and the rights created by this Deed of Trust are cumulative. Lender may elect to enforce either of the liens without waiving the other or may enforce both. 19. If the Property is transferred by foreclosure, the transferee will acquire title to all insurance policies on the Property including all paid but unearned premiums. 20. Lender may declare the debt secured by this Deed of Trust immediately payable and involce any remedies provided in this Deed of Trust for default if Grantor transfers any of the Property to a person who is not a permitted transferee without Lender's prior written consent.

On November 18, 2011, the Tarrant County Housing Partnership, Inc., (TCHP) submitted a response requesting $617,884.00 of the available HOME funds to acquire 17 sites on which it proposed to construct single family houses. The request also included funds for CHDO operating expenses. Staff reviewed all RFP submissions and recommended the award to TCHP of $1,115,000.00 in HOME funds to the Community Development Council (CDC) at its meeting held on May 25, 2011. The CDC agreed with Staff s funding recommendation for the Project. Up to $100,000.00 of the awarded funds will be used for operating expenses and $1,008,943.10 for construction of 10 houses and other development expenses including the developer fee, which is based on the cost of construction. TCHP plans to develop up to 10 single family houses to be located in the Hillside-Morningside neighborhood. There are three floor plan options available varying in square footage from approximately 1300 to 1600 square feet with three bedrooms, two baths and a rear detached garage. The houses will be sold to an individual or family that earns 80 percent or less of Area Median Income as determined by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Buyers must meet all HOME Program requirements, including applying for and receiving at least $1,000.00 in down payment and/or closing cost assistance from the City's Homebuyer Assistance Program and occupying the house as their primary residence for five years. City Staff recommends the following Contract terms: i. Construction must begin within six months of date of contract execution; ii. TCHP's performance under the contract and use of the HOME funds will be secured by a recorded Deed of Trust; iii. Houses must be sold to a HOME eligible buyer; and iv. TCHP will be allowed a 10 percent developer's fee based on the cost to construct the houses. The exaenditure of HOME funds is conditioned upon the followinq: i. Satisfactory completion of the environmental review per 24 CFR Part 58; and ii. Authorization to use grant funds from HUD. The Action Plan's funding years for federal funds selected may vary and be substituted based on the principle of First In, First Out (FIFO) in order to expend oldest grant funds first. The HOME funds may be used for any eligible costs related to the development. Staff recommends the expenditure up to $1,115,000.00 in HOME funds for the Project to benefit low and very low income citizens by providing affordable housing. A public comment period on the expenditure of these HOME funds was held from June 28, 2011 to July 27, 2011. Any comments are maintained by the Housing and Economic Development Department in accordance with federal regulations. http://apps.cfwnet.org/ecouncil/prinhnc.asp?id=16625&print=true&DocType=Print[5/1/2012 3:45:33 PM] M&C - Council Agenda This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8. __ . •:►i: •► : : •► ..- � • - . .• ..- . . ..- .•... . -. . . ►� ► : • . � . -� . � .
