SECTION 3 CLAUSE <br /> A. The work to be performed under this contract is on a project <br /> assisted under a program providing direct Federal financial <br /> assistance from the Department of Housing Urban Development and <br /> is subject to the requirements of Section 3 of the Housing <br /> Urban Development Act of 1968, as amended, 12 U.S.C. 1701u. <br /> Section 3 requires that to the greatest extent feasible <br /> opportunities for training and employment be given lower income <br /> residents of the project area and contracts for work in <br /> connection with the project be awarded to business concerns which <br /> are located in, or owned in substantial part by persons residing <br /> in the area of the project. <br /> B. The parties to this contract will comply with the provisions of <br /> said Section 3 and the regulations issued pursuant thereto by the <br /> Secretary of Housing Urban Development set forth in 24 C.F.R. <br /> Part 135, and all applicable rules and orders of the Department <br /> issued thereunder prior to the execution of this contract. The <br /> parties to this contract certify and agree that they are under no <br /> contractual or other disability which would prevent them from <br /> complying with these requirements. <br /> C. The contractor will send to each labor organization or <br /> representative of workers with which it has a collective <br /> bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, if any, <br /> a notice of advising the said labor organization or workers' <br /> representative of its commitments under this Section 3 clause and <br /> shall post copies of the notice inconspicuous places available to <br /> employees and applicants for employment or training. <br /> D. The contractor will include this Section 3 clause in every <br /> subcontract for work in connection with the project and will, at <br /> the direction of the applicant for or recipient of Federal <br /> financial assistance, take appropriate action pursuant to the <br /> subcontract upon a finding that the subcontractor is in violation <br /> of regulations issued by the Secretary of Housing Urban <br /> Development, 24 C.F.R. Part 135. The contractor will not <br /> subcontract with any subcontractor where it has notice or <br /> knowledge that the latter has been found in violation of <br /> regulations under 24 C.F.R. Part 135 and will not let any <br /> subcontract unless the subcontractor has first provided it with a <br /> preliminary statement of ability to comply with the requirements <br /> of these regulations. <br /> E. Compliance with the provisions of Section 3, the regulations set <br /> forth in 24 C.F.R. Part 135, and all applicable rules and orders <br /> of the Department issued thereunder prior to the execution of the <br /> contract, shall be a condition of the Federal financial <br /> assistance provided to the project, binding upon the applicant or <br /> recipient for such assistance, its successors, and assigns. <br /> Failure to fulfill these requirements shall subject the applicant <br /> or recipient, its contractors and subcontractors, its successors, <br /> and assigns to those sanctions specified by the grant or loan <br /> agreement or contract through which Federal assistance is <br /> provided, and to such sanctions as are specified by 24 C.F.R. <br /> Part 135. <br /> ATTACHMENT A <br />
