About this file

This is a Public Assistance Federal Grant Funded Contract Requirements document from the Canaveral Port Authority in Florida, outlining mandatory compliance provisions for FEMA-funded contracts. The document establishes comprehensive federal requirements that contractors must adhere to when performing work under Public Assistance grants. The contract requirements encompass compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act, the Copeland "Anti-Kickback" Act, the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, the Clean Air Act, and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. Additionally, contractors must comply with suspension and debarment regulations, the Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment for awards of $100,000 or more, and prohibitions on contracting for covered telecommunications equipment or services as defined under Section 889(b) of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act. All contractors and subcontractors are required to include these provisions in their contracts and ensure compliance throughout the contract term, with the prime contractor bearing responsibility for subcontractor compliance at all tiers.

The document further requires contractors to demonstrate a domestic preference for procurements, specifically prioritizing goods, products, and materials produced in the United States, including iron, aluminum, steel, and cement. For infrastructure projects subject to the Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA), contractors and subcontractors must file required certifications with the Canaveral Port Authority ensuring that all iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials used are produced in the United States, with disclosures of any non-compliance forwarded to FEMA. The contractor is liable for unpaid wages and liquidated damages of $32 per calendar day per worker for overtime violations, with the Canaveral Port Authority authorized to withhold payments to satisfy such liabilities. Breach of these contract clauses may result in contract termination and debarment from federal contracting.

No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the contract work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he or she is employed on such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek.

2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(1) of this section the Contractor and any subcontractor responsible therefor shall be liable for the unpaid wages.

Labor withhold or cause to be withheld, from any moneys payable on account of work performed by the Contractor or subcontractor under any such contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, which is held by the same prime contractor, such sums as may be determined to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such contractor or subcontractor for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as provided in the clause set forth in paragraph (a)(2) of this section.

4) Subcontracts. The Contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses set forth in paragraph (a)(1) through (4) of this section and a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts.
