SECTION 3 BUSINESS CONCERNS BIDDER

INSTRUCTIONS

This Project is funded in part with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. In accordance with

CDBG rules and regulations, municipalities must uphold the conditions of the Section 3 Action Plan. The objective of the plan is to the greatest extent feasible, ensure that employment and other economic opportunities are directed to low- and very low-income persons (Section 3 workers and Targeted Section 3 workers) and to eligible businesses (Section 3 Businesses) and requires the same of its contractors, as summarized in the “Section 3 Certificate of Compliance” included herein. Complete copies of the Section 3

Plan are available by contacting SEDA-COG Community Development Program, 201 Furnace Road, Lewisburg, PA 17837, or by calling (570) 524-4491.

Section 3 minimum numerical goals apply to any contractor when the total amount of assistance to the project exceeds a threshold of $200,000. The bidder must attempt to meet the minimum numerical goals which require 25% or more of the total number of labor hours worked by all workers on a Section 3 project are Section 3 workers; and 5% or more of the total number of labor hours worked by all workers on a

Section 3 project are Targeted Section 3 workers, as defined in 24 CFR Part 75.21. Section 3 firms can also be solicited using the attached vendor list.

As part of your bid, you are expected to complete and submit the Section 3 Workforce Needs Table and the Section 3 Contract Solicitation and Commitment Statement form. This form will be used during bid review to ascertain your level of Section 3 utilization. Your efforts and success in utilizing these firms will be one of the tests of bidder responsibility. Failure to meet this Project’s Section 3 goal does not automatically disqualify your bid. However, contractors and subcontractors failing to meet the goals must document actions taken to comply with the Section 3 requirements. The Grantee will take appropriate actions upon finding that a contractor is in violation of 24 CFR Part 75 and does not knowingly contract with any contractor that has been found in violation of the Section 3 regulations. At the municipality’s discretion, elements of the Section 3 may be waived, provided the bidder can submit adequate evidence of an effort to enlist Section 3 residents and business concerns for the Project. All contractors/businesses seeking

Section 3 preference must, before submitting bids/proposals to the Owner be required to complete certifications, as appropriate. Such certifications shall be adequately supported with appropriate documentation as referenced in the Section 3 Business Concern Certification Form.

The CONTRACTOR will be considered to have complied with the Section 3 requirements and met safe harbor, if they certify that they followed the required prioritization of effort and met or exceeded the Section 3 benchmarks, absent evidence of the contrary.

Prior to the beginning of work, contractors and subcontractors will be required to certify that they will follow the required prioritization of effort for Section 3 workers, Targeted Section 3 workers, and Section 3 business concerns as outlined below in 24 CFR Part 75. After completion of the project, on the Section 3 Cumulative Report, contractors and subcontractors will be required to certify that they followed the prioritization of effort requirements.

If the contractor and subcontractor does not meet the safe harbor requirements, they must provide evidence that they have made qualitative efforts to assist low and very low-income persons with employment and training opportunities.
