DocuSign Envelope ID: 00E63798-93A4-4D34-AA0D-3A27A1ED5A19
City of Renton Page 23 of 41 2020 Contract – 6152667
owned business enterprises certified by the Washington State Office of Minority and
Women's Business Enterprises (OMWBE) in County contracts. The County
encourages the Contractor to use the following voluntary practices to promote open
competitive opportunities for small businesses, including SCS firms and minority-
owned and women-owned business enterprises:
1. Inquire about King County’s Contracting Opportunities Program. King County has
established a Contracting Opportunities Program to maximize the participation of
SCS in the award of King County contracts. The Program is open to all SCS firms
certified by King County Business Development and Contract Compliance (BDCC).
As determined by BDCC and identified in the solicitation documents issued by the
County, the Program will apply to specific contracts. However, for those contracts
not subject to the Program or for which the Contractor elected not to participate in
the Program during the solicitation stage, the Contractor is still encouraged to
inquire voluntarily about available firms. Program materials, including application
forms and a directory of certified SCS firms, are available at the following Web-site
address: http://www.kingcounty.gov/bdcc
The term “Small Contractors and Suppliers” (SCS) means that a business and the
person or persons who own and control it are in a financial condition which puts the
business at a substantial disadvantage in attempting to compete for public
contracts. The relevant financial condition for eligibility under the Program is set at
fifty percent of the Federal Small Business Administration (SBA) small business
size standards using the North American Industry Classification System and
Owners’ Personal Net Worth less than $750,000 dollars.
2. Contact OMWBE to obtain a list of certified minority-owned and women-owned
business enterprises by visiting their website at http://www.omwbe.wa.gov/ or by
Toll Free telephone (866) 208-1064.
3. Use the services of available community organizations, consultant groups, local
assistance offices, the County, and other organizations that provide assistance in
the recruitment and placement of small businesses, including SCS firms and
minority-owned and women-owned business enterprises.
F. Equal Employment Opportunity Efforts
The Contractor shall undertake equal employment opportunity efforts to ensure that
applicants and employees are treated, without regard to their sex, race, color, marital
status, national origin, religious affiliation, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity
or expression or age. The Contractor's equal employment opportunity efforts 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 apprenticeships. The
Contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants
for employment notices setting forth this nondiscrimination clause. In accordance with
KCC 12.16.010.j. “equal employment opportunity efforts” shall mean active efforts to
ensure equal opportunity in employment that is free from all forms of discrimination.

a. Denying any person access to facilities, services, financial aid or other benefits
provided under the program or activity;
b. Denying any person services due to limited English proficiency;
c. Providing any person with facilities, services, financial aid or other benefits,
which are different, or are provided in a different form from that provided to
others under the program or activity;
d. Subjecting any person to segregated or separate treatment in any facility or in
any matter or process related to receipt of any service or benefit under the
program or activity;
e. Restricting in any way access to or in the enjoyment of any advantage or
privilege enjoyed by others in connection with facilities, services, financial aid or

effect of subjecting individuals to discrimination on the basis of age, color, familial
status, nationality, race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation; or mental, physical, or
sensory disability; or have the effect of defeating or substantially impairing
accomplishment of the objectives of the program or activity with respect to
DocuSign Envelope ID: 00E63798-93A4-4D34-AA0D-3A27A1ED5A19
City of Renton Page 26 of 41 2020 Contract – 6152667
individuals of a particular age, color, familial status, nationality, race, religion, sex,
or sexual orientation; or the presence of any mental, physical, or sensory disability.
3. The Contractor, in determining the site or location of housing or facilities provided in
whole or in part with funds under this Contract, may not make selections of such
site or location which have the effect of excluding individuals, denying them
benefits, or subjecting them to discrimination on the grounds of age, sex, marital
status, familial status, religion, race, creed, color, sexual orientation, nationality, or
the presence of any sensory, mental or physical disability; or which have the
purpose or effect of defeating or substantially impairing the accomplishment of the
objectives of the HCD Act or of the HUD Regulations.
L. Employment Projections
In all solicitations under this Contract, the Contractor shall state that all qualified
applicants will be considered for employment. The words “equal opportunity employer”
in advertisements shall constitute compliance with this section.
M. No Conflict with Federal Requirements.
As indicated by HUD Notice CPD 04-10, a faith-based organization’s exemption from
the federal prohibition on employment discrimination on the basis of religion, set forth
in 42 USC 2000e-1(a), is not forfeited when the organization receives HUD funding.
Faith-based organizations, like any other entity participating in a HUD-funded program,
must, however, comply with all the statutory requirements of that particular HUD-
funded program. Both the CDBG and HOME Programs contain statutory provisions
imposing non-discrimination requirements on all subrecipients, subgrantees or
contractors. Religious organizations that believe that certain non-discrimination
statutory requirements are substantially burdensome may be entitled to protection
under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act [42 USC4000bb-3, 4000bb-2(1)] which
applies to all federal law and its implementation. Subrecipients, subgrantees, or
contractors should be aware that anti-discrimination provisions of Section 109 of the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, Section 282 of the HOME
Investment partnership Act may pose questions of conformance with Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964 and future court rulings could define more specifically the
application of these laws to faith-based organizations. In the event that a provision of
this Contract is deemed to be in actual conflict with federal law, the conflicting provision
in this Contract shall not apply.
XX. SUBCONTRACTS AND PURCHASES
A. Subcontract Defined

The Contractor shall not make any award at any time to any contractor, which is
debarred, suspended or excluded, from participation in federal assistance programs
under Presidential Executive Order 12549, “Debarment and Suspension”.

XXXII. AFFIRMATIVE MARKETING
A. Federal Marketing Requirements
Each Contractor must adopt affirmative marketing procedures and requirements for
projects containing five or more housing units funded with CDBG and/or HOME funds.

housing laws and the use of the Equal Housing Opportunity logotype or slogan in
press releases and solicitations for owners, and written communication to fair
housing and other groups;
2. Requirements and practices the Contractor must adhere to in order to carry out the
participating jurisdiction's affirmative marketing procedures and requirement (e.g.,
use of commercial media, use of community contacts, use of the Equal Housing
Opportunity logotype or slogan, and display of fair housing poster);

interpreters, places of worship, employment centers, fair housing groups, or
housing counseling agencies);
4. Records must be kept describing actions taken by the Contractor to affirmatively
market units and records to assess the result of these actions; and
5. A description of how the Contractor shall assess the success of affirmative
marketing actions and what corrective actions will be taken where affirmative
marketing requirements are not met.
XXXIII. ACCESSIBILITY FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS
Any buildings or other facilities designed, constructed, or altered with federal funds pursuant
to this Contract are subject to the requirements of the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 (42

or rehabilitation of residential property consisting of fewer than eight units. For projects
assisted with HOME funds, this Subsection shall not apply to rehabilitation of rental
property consisting of fewer than twelve units.
All construction work funded in whole or in part under this Contract must be performed
in accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act, as amended (40 USC sections 276(a)-

includes a copy of applicable state prevailing wages that are higher than current Davis-
Bacon wages.
Agencies receiving an award of local funds (HOF, RAHP, HB 2331, Veterans and
Human Services Levy or MIDD funds) or federal funds that do not trigger Davis-Bacon

applicable State classification rate.
The Contractor shall provide annual certification to the County of its compliance with
the requirements of this section. The Contractor shall additionally maintain records

C. Use of Volunteers
The Contractor shall obtain the written approval of the County prior to allowing any
volunteers to perform construction work on a project assisted under this Contract.
XXXV. EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES ON ASSISTED CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
A. Section 3 Requirements
The work to be performed under this Contract may be subject to the requirements of
Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, as amended, 12 USC
1701u (Section 3). The purpose of Section 3 is to ensure that employment and other
economic opportunities generated by HUD assistance or HUD-assisted projects
covered by Section 3, shall, to the greatest extent feasible, be directed to low and very
low-income persons, particularly persons who are recipients of HUD assistance for
housing.
B. Section 3 Criteria for Capital Projects
As set forth in the HCD Plan, Section 3 regulations found at 24 CFR § 135.38 apply to
all Project/Program Exhibits which meet all three of the following criteria:
1. The Project/Program Exhibit must include $200,000 or more in total HUD funds
from one or more program years;
2. The Project/Program Exhibit must include construction or rehabilitation work as a
task that will be funded in full or in part with the HUD funds; and
3. The construction or rehabilitation work that will be funded must have a contract
value, which exceeds $100,000. Actual contract value of construction or
rehabilitation work is the determining factor, not a cost estimate.
Additionally, Section 3 regulations are applicable to Project/Program Exhibit(s),
which do not initially meet the above criteria but which are amended so as to add
funds or change the activities for which the funds are used. Section 3 regulations
do not apply to projects that include $200,000 or more in HUD funds when the
funds are being used for acquisition and/or professional services only and not for
construction or rehabilitation work.
XXXVI. NO BENEFIT TO OWNERS AND DEVELOPERS OF ASSISTED HOUSING
No Contractor, developer or sponsor (or officer, employee, agent or consultant of the
owner, developer or sponsor) whether private, for profit or nonprofit (including a Community
Housing Development Organization when acting as an owner, developer or sponsor) may

developer of a rental housing project who occupies a CDBG, HOME, HOF, RAHP, HB
2331, Veterans and Human Services Levy or CX-assisted unit as the project manager or

The Contractor certifies that it is in compliance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act of
1988 (42 USC 701) and regulations set forth at 24 CFR part 24, subpart F.
B. Other Federal Requirements
The absence of mention in this Contract of any other federal requirements that apply to
the award and/or expenditure of the federal funds made available by this Contract is
not intended to indicate that those federal requirements are not applicable to
Contractor activities. The Contractor shall comply with all other federal requirements
relating to the expenditure of federal funds, including but not limited to, the Hatch Act (5
USC. Chapter 15) regarding political activities.
XXXIX. CONSTITUTIONAL PROHIBITION

has existing residential tenants who may be displaced shall provide relocation benefits
to all displaced households. Effective October 1, 2014, the benefit amount for each
displaced household will be $2,933 per household; provided that, if the Joint
Recommendations Committee (JRC) of the King County Consortium adjusts the

Guidelines based on changes in the consumer price index, the increased benefit
amount shall apply. All tenants selected for relocation shall be given formal notification
regarding the need to relocate with a minimum of 90 days’ notice of the date they must
relocate, along with information about why they were selected. Consideration of a
longer notice period may be required if the tenant demonstrates a special circumstance
(for instance, health reasons) which would be alleviated by extending the notice period.

ethnicity, and monthly gross income shall be provided to the King County Relocation
Specialist along with documentation of all the payments made to displaced tenants. All

(including utility costs) that does not exceed the applicable Fair Market Rent for
existing housing as established by HUD and published annually, pursuant to 24
CFR Part 888. The Contractor must comply with the one-for-one replacement of

8. Client Prioritization Process
Clients for Healthy Housing program will come from the current housing repair
assistance clients (low and moderate income). All clients in the housing repair
program receive a housing assessment that documents the condition of the
house, identifying marginal and defective items. Clients with actively leaking
roofs and interior mold and moisture are identified. Clients are given a mold and
moisture severity score (1-10 with 10 being maximum mold and moisture
problems). They are also assessed on whether there is no, inadequate,
marginal or good ventilation present. Generally, those with the highest scores
will be considered for roof and/or ventilation replacement. If there are
insufficient funds to replace a roof, then staff will consider whether ventilation
installation or enhancement will effectively address the moisture issue.
