15-Attachment U - GLO Compliance Package.pdf

This is a GLO Compliance Package attachment for the Texas General Land Office (GLO) related to disaster recovery planning services for Harris County under the Community Development Block Grant – Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) program. The package establishes compliance requirements and guidelines that the selected contractor must adhere to throughout the one-year contract period beginning approximately August 1, 2026. The document outlines mandatory federal and state compliance obligations, reporting standards, and documentation requirements necessary for the contractor to maintain eligibility for CDBG-MIT funding and satisfy both GLO oversight and federal HUD requirements. Contractors must demonstrate understanding and commitment to maintaining full compliance with all applicable regulations, including environmental review processes, labor standards, fair housing requirements, and audit provisions throughout contract execution.

The compliance package emphasizes funding source requirements, as the project is financed through CDBG-MIT federal funds administered by the GLO. The contractor must maintain comprehensive documentation of all activities, expenditures, and outcomes to support federal compliance audits and GLO monitoring activities. The package specifies mandatory certifications, assurances, and acknowledgments that the contractor must execute, including compliance with Davis-Bacon wage requirements if applicable, Section 3 economic opportunity provisions, and environmental compliance procedures. Additionally, the contractor must establish record-keeping systems capable of supporting GLO requests for documentation, participate in monitoring activities, and provide timely reports demonstrating project progress and compliance with all established requirements and timelines.
