engagement are different than the majority population.
b.Commitment: The Agency shall conduct self-assessments, including obtaining
input from culturally diverse populations (both client and non-client) and key
stakeholders and uses this feedback in policy making, contract administration
and service delivery. The Agency also creates opportunities/ensures that its
workforce engages in ongoing education regarding culturally and linguistically
appropriate policies and practices.
2.Nondiscrimination in Employment Provision of Services
To the extent prohibited by KCC Chapter 12.16 or 12.17, during the
performance of this Contract, neither the Agency nor any party subcontracting

considering offers from and doing business with sub Agencys and suppliers, the
Agency shall not discriminate against any person because of their sex, race, color,
marital status, national origin, religious affiliation, disability, sexual orientation,
gender identity or expression or age except by minimum age and retirement
provisions, unless based upon a bona fide occupational qualification.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 0D2B1F5E-5C2A-4C1E-8132-34977BF3D958
4. Compliance with Laws and Regulations
The Agency shall comply fully with all applicable federal, state and local laws,
ordinances, Presidential Executive Orders and regulations that prohibit
discrimination to the extent applicable. These laws include, but are not limited to,
RCW Chapter 49.60, Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the American
with Disabilities Act, and the Restoration Act of 1987. In addition, King County Code
chapters 12.16, 12.17 and 12.18 are incorporated herein by reference and the
requirements in these code chapters shall specifically apply to this contract, to the
full extent applicable. The Agency shall further comply fully with any equal
opportunity requirements set forth in any federal regulations, statutes or rules
included or referenced in the contract documents.
5. Small Agencies and Suppliers and Minority and Women Business Enterprises
Opportunities
King County encourages the Agency to utilize small businesses, including Small
Agencys and Suppliers (SCS), as defined below, and minority-owned and women
owned business enterprises certified by the Washington state Office of Minority
and Women's Business Enterprises (OMWBE) in County contracts. The County
encourages the Agency 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:
a. 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
Page 14 of 37

Classification System and Owners’ Personal Net Worth less than $750,000
dollars.
b.Contact the 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.
c.Use the services of available community organizations, Agency 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.
6.Equal Employment Opportunity Efforts
The Agency 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 Agency'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 Agency 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.
7.Compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended Section
504) and the American Disabilities Act of 1990 as amended (ADA)
Pursuant to Title II of the ADA and Section 504 the County must not discriminate
against people with disabilities in providing services, programs or activities even if
those services, programs or activities are carried out by contractors. The Agency
agrees that it shall provide all programs, services and activities to County employees
or members of the public under this Contract in the same manner as King County is
obligated to under Title II of the ADA, and Section 504 and shall not deny
participation or the benefits of such services, programs or activities to people with
disabilities on the basis of such disability. Failure to comply with this section shall be
a material breach of, and grounds for, the immediate termination of this Contract.
a.The Agency agrees to provide to persons with disabilities access to programs,
activities and services provided under the Contract or agreement, as required
by the disability access laws as defined by KCC 12.16; and
Page 15 of 37
DocuSign Envelope ID: 0D2B1F5E-5C2A-4C1E-8132-34977BF3D958
b.The Agency shall not discriminate against persons with disabilities in providing
the work under the Contract. In any subcontracts for the programs, activities
and services under their contract or agreement, the Agency shall include the
requirement that the subcontractor provide to persons with disabilities access
to programs, activities and services provided under the contract or agreement
as required by the disability access laws as defined by KCC 12.16, that the
subcontractor shall not discriminate against persons with disabilities in
providing the work under the Contract and that the subcontractor shall provide
that the County is a third party beneficiary to that required provision.
8.Sanctions for Violations
Any violation of the mandatory requirements of the provisions of this section shall
be a material breach of contract for which the Agency may be subject to damages,
withholding payment and any other sanctions provided for by the Contract and by
applicable law.
9.Fair Housing Protections
The Agency shall comply with the federal Fair Housing Act, Public Law 90-284 (42

(RCW Chapter 49.60). Residential real estate-related transactions include the

purchasing, constructing, improving, repairing or maintaining of a dwelling. Rental
housing includes any dwelling that is intended for occupancy as a residence for
one or more families by lease, sublease or by grant for a consideration of the right
to occupy Premises not owned by the occupant. In addition, except for projects
located in incorporated jurisdictions, the Agency shall comply with the applicable
provisions of the King County Open Housing Ordinance, codified at Chapter 12.20
of the King County Code, which prohibits practices of housing discrimination
against any person on the basis of age, ancestry, color, disability, marital status,
national origin, parental status, possession of Section 8 housing assistance, race,
religion, retaliation, sex, and sexual orientation.

b.Section 109 of the HCD Act of 1974, as amended (42 USC 5301);
c.The Americans with Disabilities Act (42 USC 1213; 47 USC 155, 201, 218 and
225); and
d.Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and regulations at 24 CFR Part
8.
11. Prohibited Discriminatory Actions
Except where expressly authorized by federal law, the Agency may not, under any
program or activity to which this Contract applies, directly or through contractual
or other arrangements, discriminate on the grounds of age, color, creed, familial
status, marital status, nationality, religion, race, sex, sexual orientation, or the
presence of any, physical, mental or sensory disability. Discriminatory actions may
include but are not limited to the following:
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 other benefits under the program or activity;
f.Treating any person differently from others in determining whether the
person satisfies any admission, enrollment, eligibility, membership, or other
requirement or condition which individuals must meet in order to be provided
any facilities, services or other benefit provided under the program or activity;
g.Denying any person any opportunity to participate in a program or activity as
an employee; and
h.Failing to design and construct facilities for first occupancy after January 26,
1993 that are readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities
and failure to remove architectural and communication barriers that are
structural in nature in existing facilities, where such removal can be
accomplished without difficulty and expense.
The Agency shall not utilize criteria or methods of administration that have the
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
Page 17 of 37
DocuSign Envelope ID: 0D2B1F5E-5C2A-4C1E-8132-34977BF3D958
sensory disability; or have the effect of defeating or substantially impairing
accomplishment of the objectives of the program or activity with respect to
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.
The Agency, 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.
12. Employment Projections
In all solicitations under this Contract, the Agency shall state that all qualified
applicants will be considered for employment. The words “equal opportunity
employer” in advertisements shall constitute compliance with this section.
13. 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 antidiscrimination 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.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 0D2B1F5E-5C2A-4C1E-8132-34977BF3D958
F.No Conflict of Interest
The Agency shall abide by the provision of 2 CFR 200 and 24 CFR § 570.611, if applicable,
and by the following:
The Agency shall maintain a written code or standards of conduct that shall govern the
performance of its officer, employees or agents engaged in the award and administration
of contracts supported by funds under this Contract;
No employee, director, officer or agent of the Agency shall participate in the selection or
in the award, or administration of a contract supported by funds under this contract if a
conflict of interest, real or apparent, would be involved. By way of example, such a conflict
would arise if such a person, or his or her employer, immediate family member or partner
has financial or other interest in the entity selected; and
No covered persons who exercise or have exercised any functions or responsibilities with
respect to any Contract-assisted activities, or who are in a position to participate in a
decision-making process or gain inside information with regard to such activities, may
have or obtain a financial interest in any contract, subcontract or agreement regarding a
Contract-assisted activity, either for themselves or those with whom they have business
or immediate family ties, during their tenure and for one year thereafter. For purposes of

found in this paragraph its current contracts with the County shall be cancelled and it
shall not be able to bid on any County contract for a period of two years.
2.Disclosure of Current and Former County Employees
To avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest or unethical conduct:

or consulting with a third party, including Agency, while employed by the County
or within one year after leaving County employment if he/she participated in

b.Agency shall identify at the time of offer current or former County employees
involved in the preparation of proposals or the anticipated performance of Work
if awarded the Contract. Failure to identify current or former County employees
involved in this Contract may result in termination of this Contract.
c.After Contract award, the Agency is responsible for notifying the County’s Project
Manager of current or former County employees who may become involved in the
Contract any time during the term of the Contract.

that all subcontractors shall certify and disclose accordingly.
