FEDERAL PROVISIONS ADDENDUM
This addendum applies to purchases that will be paid for in whole or in part with funds obtained from the federal government. The provisions below are required, and the language is not negotiable. If any provision below conflicts with the State’s terms and conditions, including any attachments, schedules, or exhibits to the State’s Contract, the provisions below take priority to the extent a provision is required by federal law;
otherwise, the order of precedence set forth in the Contract applies. Hyperlinks are provided for convenience only; broken hyperlinks will not relieve Contractor from compliance with the law.
1. Equal Employment Opportunity
If this Contract is a “federally assisted construction contract” as defined in 41 CFR Part 60-1.3, and except as otherwise may be provided under 41 CFR Part 60, then during performance of this Contract, the Contractor agrees as follows:
(1) The Contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. The Contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the following:
Employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation;
and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The Contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.
(2) The Contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of the Contractor, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.
(3) The Contractor will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because such employee or applicant has inquired about, discussed, or disclosed the compensation of the employee or applicant or another employee or applicant. This provision shall not apply to instances in which an employee who has access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of such employee's essential job functions discloses the compensation of such other employees or https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CFR-2019-title41-vol1/pdf/CFR-2019-title41-vol1-part60.pdf https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CFR-2019-title41-vol1/pdf/CFR-2019-title41-vol1-part60.pdf https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/CFR-2019-title41-vol1/CFR-2019-title41-vol1-subtitleB-chap60/summary applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to such information, unless such disclosure is in response to a formal complaint or charge, in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or is consistent with the Contractor's legal duty to furnish information.
(4) The Contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided advising the said labor union or workers' representatives of the Contractor's commitments under this section, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment.
(5) The Contractor will comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor.
(6) The Contractor will furnish all information and reports required by Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and by rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of Labor, or pursuant thereto, and will permit access to his books, records, and accounts by the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with such rules, regulations, and orders.
(7) In the event of the Contractor's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this contract or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this Contract may be canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the Contractor may be declared ineligible for further Government contracts or federally assisted construction contracts in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law.
(8) The Contractor will include the portion of the sentence immediately preceding paragraph (1) and the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (8) in every subcontract or purchase order unless exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor issued pursuant to section 204 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, so that such provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor. The Contractor will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance:
Provided, however, that in the event a Contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such https://www.dol.gov/ofccp/regs/statutes/eo11246.htm https://www.dol.gov/ofccp/regs/statutes/eo11246.htm https://www.dol.gov/ofccp/regs/statutes/eo11246.htm https://www.dol.gov/ofccp/regs/statutes/eo11246.htm https://www.dol.gov/ofccp/regs/statutes/eo11246.htm https://www.dol.gov/ofccp/regs/statutes/eo11246.htm https://www.dol.gov/ofccp/regs/statutes/eo11246.htm https://www.dol.gov/ofccp/regs/statutes/eo11246.htm direction by the administering agency, the Contractor may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
The applicant further agrees that it will be bound by the above equal opportunity clause with respect to its own employment practices when it participates in federally assisted construction work: Provided, that if the applicant so participating is a State or local government, the above equal opportunity clause is not applicable to any agency, instrumentality or subdivision of such government which does not participate in work on or under the contract.
The applicant agrees that it will assist and cooperate actively with the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor in obtaining the compliance of contractors and subcontractors with the equal opportunity clause and the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor, that it will furnish the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor such information as they may require for the supervision of such compliance, and that it will otherwise assist the administering agency in the discharge of the agency's primary responsibility for securing compliance.
The applicant further agrees that it will refrain from entering into any contract or contract modification subject to Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, with a contractor debarred from, or who has not demonstrated eligibility for, Government contracts and federally assisted construction contracts pursuant to the Executive Order and will carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of the equal opportunity clause as may be imposed upon contractors and subcontractors by the administering agency or the Secretary of Labor pursuant to Part II, Subpart D of the Executive Order. In addition, the applicant agrees that if it fails or refuses to comply with these undertakings, the administering agency may take any or all of the following actions: Cancel, terminate, or suspend in whole or in part this grant (contract, loan, insurance, guarantee);
refrain from extending any further assistance to the applicant under the program with respect to which the failure or refund occurred until satisfactory assurance of future compliance has been received from such applicant; and refer the case to the Department of Justice for appropriate legal proceedings.

CN 1 - SCHEDULE A - STATEMENT OF
WORK
Financial Accounting, Integrity Oversight Monitoring or Auditing Services – COVID-19 Stimulus Management Projects Prequalification Program
BACKGROUND
The federal government has now passed several major pieces of legislation designed to support the response and recovery related to the COVID-19 crisis including the CARES Act, FEMA and on March 3, 2021 the President signed the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) related to infrastructure and other additional pandemic relief funding to address affects from the pandemic. We also anticipate additional new major federal funded programs to be deployed such as Infrastructure and Investments Job Act
(IIJA).
The State Budget Office (SBO) has implemented a COVID-19 Federal Stimulus Program Management Organization (PMO) to oversee the funding and implementation of programs associated with COVID federal funding. Additionally, Governor Whitmer, through executive directive 2020-05, established a COVID-19 Office of Accountability (OOA). Both the COVID-19 PMO and COVID-19 OOA work closely to implement and establish compliance oversight over the myriad of programs funded by these federal funds.
Many of the designated uses of CRF, CRRSA, and ARPA programs involve grants to subrecipients, involving all local units of Michigan government, K-12 educational districts, Community Colleges, other Higher Education institutions, and a myriad of other subrecipients. For the State’s CRF, CRRSA, and ARPA related programs, SOM agencies/program staff are required to establish appropriate internal controls and subrecipient monitoring processes in accordance with uniform administrative requirements issued by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, commonly referred to as 2 CFR 200, which includes subpart F related Audit requirements.
The State currently has resource capacity limitations with program administration and grant management and matters necessary to implement programs associated with the CRF CARES Act, FEMA, and ARPA funded programs to ensure compliance with federal and state requirements. Although there is no immediate need requiring this contract, there may be a need in the future with urgent timeframes associated with program implementation timelines. This subset of prequalified Contracts specifically for COVID-19 Stimulus Management projects will be engaged via 3rd Tier DS when the need is identified.
SCOPE
The Contractor will provide the State with service resources associated with administering grant programs. These services are needed to address resource capacity limitations and urgent timeframes associated with program implementation timelines.
