Contractors must also provide one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked, up to 56 hours annually, under Executive Order 13706. The exhibits cite Section 3 obligations for HUD-assisted projects and include certification forms for Section 3 Business Concerns, minority-owned businesses, and women-owned businesses. Non-compliance carries potential contract suspension, payment withholding, debarment, and civil or criminal prosecution. Overtime at time-and-a-half applies to hours exceeding 40 per week, along with apprenticeship and equal employment opportunity provisions.

The invitation to bid is issued by First Step House, which conducts the procurement independently. The Utah Division of Purchasing is neither issuing nor conducting the solicitation, and the award will not be posted on the state site. First Step House will communicate the award directly to vendors. Responses will be evaluated by First Step House as described in the solicitation documents, and the state posting closes on the bid due date.
