SPECIAL CONDITIONS

SUMMARY EXPLANATION OF SPECIAL CONDITIONS

(1) The Copeland "Anti-Kick Back" Act (18 U.S.C. 874) as supplemented in Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR, Part 3). This

Act provided that each contractor or subcontractor shall be prohibited from inducing, by any means, any person employed in the construction, completion, or repair of public work, to give up any part of the compensation to which he is otherwise entitled.

(2) The Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a to a-7) as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR, Part 5). Under this

Act, contractors and subcontractors shall be required to pay wages to laborers and mechanics at a rate not less than the minimum wages specified in a wage determination made by the Secretary of Labor. In addition, contractors shall be required to pay wages not less often than once a week.

For prime contracts for trucking services prevailing wages shall be required for al truck drivers operating under such contract.

For all other contracts, the Davis-Bacon Act shall be applied to truck drivers as follows:

Truck drivers are COVERED by the Davis-Bacon labor standards provisions in the following circumstances:

• Drivers of a contractor or subcontractor for the time spend working on the site of the work.

• Drivers of a contractor or subcontractor for the time spent loading and/or unloading materials and supplies on the site of work.

• Truck drivers transporting materials and supplies from a facility that is a part of the site of the work and the actual construction site.

Truck drivers are NOT COVERED in the following instances:

• Drivers of an independent trucking firm, or materialman hauling material to a Davis-Bacon job from a commercial supply facility which was not set up exclusively for the Davis-Bacon job or is not located adjacent or virtually adjacent to the site of work.

• Drivers of a contractor or subcontractor hauling materials to or from a Davis-Bacon job from a commercial facility when they are off the site of work.

In addition, the Department of Labor has an enforcement position with respect to bona fide owner-operators of trucks who are independent contractors (an owner operator is a person who owns and drives a truck). Certified payrolls including the names of such owner-operators do not need to show the hours worked or the rates paid, only the notation “owner-operator”. This position does not apply to owner-operators of other equipment such as bulldozers, backhoes, cranes, etc.

(3) The Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 327-330) as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations

(29 CFR, Part 5). Under Section 103 of the Act, each contractor shall be required to compute the wages of every mechanic and laborer on the basis of a standard work week of forty (40) hours. Work in excess of the standard work week is permissible provided that the worker is compensated at a rate of not less than 1 1/2 times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours in the work week. Section 107 of the Act is applicable to construction work and provides that no laborer or mechanic shall be required to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to

Madison County Compliance Package- updated May 23, 2012 Page 3 his health and safety as determined under construction, safety, and health standards promulgated by the Secretary of Labor.

These requirements do not apply to the purchases of materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market or contracts for transportation or transmission of intelligence.

(4) The Equal Opportunity Clause of Executive Order 11246. This Clause requires that the contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, 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, 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.

(5) Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968. Section 3 provides that to the greatest extent feasible opportunities for training and employment shall be given to lower income residents of HUD assisted project areas and that contracts for work in connection with such projects shall be awarded to business concerns which are located in or are owned in substantial part by project area residents.

(6) Women in construction. Regulations (41 CFR 60-4) published by the Department of Labor pursuant to Section 201, 202, 205, 211, 301, 302, and 303 of Executive Order 11246 are directed at reducing the exclusion of women from the construction industry.

These regulations have given the Director of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Program the authority to issue goals and timetables for female utilization on federal or federally assisted construction projects. To meet the overall objectives of this program, a national goal has been established for women in construction trades as follows: seven percent (7%) after 1980. In order for Madison County to be in compliance with federal law, all contractors working on projects funded through the Community

Development Block Grant Program must certify that a full and good faith effort will be made to achieve the national goal for female utilization.

(7) Minority participation, Executive Order 11625. Executive Order 11625 authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to supervise the implementation of the Minority Business Enterprise Program. This program is designed to extend the opportunity for participation in the United States free enterprise system to socially and economically disadvantaged persons. The President has required all departments and agencies receiving federal funds to establish goals for improving minority participation efforts in 1978. In order to meet the interest and substance of Executive Order 11625, a ten percent (10%) level of minority business participation for programs funded with Community Development Block Grant monies has been established. In order for Madison County to be in compliance with Executive Order 11625, all contractors working on projects funded through Community Development must obtain a ten percent (10%) level of minority participation in contracts and subcontracts for goods and services.

(8) All prime contractors shall document and maintain a record of all subcontractors and suppliers. Such record shall be presented to

Madison County Community Development at the preconstruction conference, and no Notice to Proceed shall be provided until such record has been provided.

(9) Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Public Law 93-112 as amended. This act requires that no qualified handicapped person(s) shall on the basis of handicap be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subject to discrimination under any program or activity which receives or benefits from federal financial assistance.

(10) HUD Lead Based Paint Regulations, 24 CFR Part 35. These regulations require that all interior surfaces and those exterior surfaces readily accessible to children be free of lead based paint.
