AUTHORITY Acting under the authority of Section 1452 of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) Section 130, RCW 39.34, RCW 43.70.040, and RCW 70.119A.170 the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) has awarded BORROWER a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Loan (LOAN) for the project identified in the Declarations (PROJECT). Under this CONTRACT, BORROWER is a sub-recipient of funds provided by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), CFDA Number 66.468, Safe Drinking Water State Revolving Fund. In some CONTRACT attachments, DOH is referred to as “Lender” and BORROWER is referred to as “Contractor.” 4.2. FULL AGREEMENT This CONTRACT contains the full agreement of the parties. No other understandings, oral or otherwise, regarding the subject matter of this CONTRACT exists. 4.3. ORDER OF PRECEDENCE In the event of an inconsistency in this CONTRACT, unless otherwise provided herein, the inconsistency shall be resolved by giving precedence in the following order: The order of precedence for terms and conditions under categories B and C is subject to the proviso that when a contract term or condition appears in more than one contract document, the more specific contract term or condition shall control if the different contract provisions cannot be harmonized. A. Applicable local, state, and federal statutes and regulations B. Contract amendments C. The Contract (in this order) Declarations and Special Terms and Conditions General Terms and Conditions Attachments I – VII 4.4. LOAN AMOUNT DOH, using funds from the Drinking Water Assistance Account, will loan BORROWER a sum not to exceed the amount shown as LOAN AMOUNT in the Declarations. The LOAN AMOUNT shall not exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the actual eligible PROJECT costs. 4.5. LOAN FEE If DOH assessed a LOAN FEE, it is shown in the Declarations as LOAN FEE and included in the total LOAN AMOUNT. The fee (if applicable) is one percent (1%) of the loan request and will not be reduced, regardless of the final LOAN AMOUNT at PROJECT completion. If the LOAN FEE applies and the total LOAN AMOUNT is increased by amendment, DOH will assess an additional LOAN FEE equal to one percent (1%) of the additional LOAN AMOUNT. LOAN FEES are non-refundable. 4.6. LOAN TERM Unless changed by an amendment, the LOAN TERM will not exceed the period of time shown in the Declarations. The repayment period for DOH subsidized loans is twenty-four (24) years from this CONTRACT’s start date. The repayment period for non-DOH subsidized loans is twenty (20) years from this CONTRACT’s start date. 4.7. INTEREST RATE The interest rate is stated in the Declarations. Interest is per annum on the outstanding principal balance and starts to accrue from the date DOH releases LOAN FUNDS to BORROWER. If BORROWER completes the PROJECT within twenty-four (24) months of the CONTRACT start date, DOH will reduce the LOAN INTEREST to one point DWL27107 City of Pasco Page 6 of 31 DWSRF Loan Contract (Municipal) v1 two five percent (1.25%) at PROJECT completion. The reduced interest rate will apply to the remaining payments beginning from the date DOH approves the BORROWER’s Project Completion Report. 4.8. LOAN FORGIVENESS If the LOAN qualifies for LOAN Forgiveness, the percent of the LOAN balance that DOH will forgive at PROJECT completion is stated in the Declarations. DOH calculates the amount forgiven when DOH approves the BORROWER’s Project Completion Report. The amount forgiven will be based on either the LOAN AMOUNT or BORROWER’s ELIGIBLE PROJECT COSTS, whichever is less, and accrued interest. 4.9. RELEASE OF LOAN FUNDS AND REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION DOH will release LOAN funds to BORROWER to reimburse BORROWER for eligible PROJECT costs. To request reimbursement, BORROWER must submit a signed and completed invoice using a form provided by DOH. The invoice must reference the PROJECT activity performed, and include supporting documentation such as bills, invoices, receipts, and documentation of compliance with CONTRACT requirements as requested by DOH. The invoice must signed by an official of BORROWER with authority to bind BORROWER. Invoices must also include a report of the progress made since the last invoice, and the PROJECT status to date. DOH will not release funds until the PROJECT status report and documentation are approved by DOH. Approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. After approving the invoice, documentation, and PROJECT status report, DOH will release funds to BORROWER within thirty (30) days, if BORROWER is not in alleged or actual breach of CONTRACT. DOH will withhold ten percent (10%) of LOAN funds until DOH confirms that BORROWER has successfully completed all steps for PROJECT COMPLETION. The 10% holdback will be available to BORROWER as part of the last LOAN disbursement. 4.10. TIME OF PERFORMANCE BORROWER will begin the activities in the PROJECT within thirty (30) calendar days of the CONTRACT start date. BORROWER will issue a ‘Notice to Proceed’, after the formal award of a construction contract, within eighteen (18) months of the CONTRACT start date. BORROWER must reach PROJECT COMPLETION within the TIME OF PERFORMANCE. If there are extenuating circumstances, BORROWER may request, in writing, at least ninety (90) calendar days prior to the PROJECT COMPLETION that DOH extend the deadline for PROJECT COMPLETION. At its discretion, DOH may issue an extension. DOH’s decision is final and not subject to the dispute clause. If BORROWER does not meet the requirements of this section, it is a breach of CONTRACT, and DOH may terminate or suspend this CONTRACT. 4.11. PROJECT COMPLETION AMENDMENT AND THE PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT The PROJECT Completion Amendment determines the final LOAN AMOUNT and LOAN TERM. When activities in the PROJECT are complete, BORROWER will start the process for the PROJECT Completion Amendment by sending DOH the PROJECT Completion Report. In the PROJECT Completion Report., BORROWER will provide the following information to DOH: A. A statement of the actual dollar amount spent, from all fund sources, to complete the PROJECT. B. A statement that all ELIGIBLE PROJECT COSTS have been incurred. Costs are incurred when goods and services are received and/or contracted work is performed. C.

LOAN PAYMENTS BORROWER must begin repaying the LOAN no later than one (1) year after the CONTRACT start date. Payments are due on the first day of the month(s) shown as the PAYMENT MONTH(S) in the Declarations. The first payment is only the interest accrued at that time. All other payments are principal and interest accrued up to the PAYMENT MONTH(S). BORROWER can repay in full the LOAN balance, including fees and repayment of LOAN FUNDS for ineligible project costs (if any), at any time or make accelerated payments without penalty. The final payment must be on or before the end of the LOAN TERM. 4.13. LOAN DEFAULT DOH must receive BORROWER’S payment within thirty (30) calendar days of the due date. Late payments are delinquent and assessed a monthly penalty on the first (1st) day past the due date. The penalty is one percent (1%) of the late payment amount per month. Penalty and fees accrue interest at the rate stated as LOAN INTEREST in the Declarations. DOH may notify any other entity, creditors, or potential creditors of BORROWER’s delinquency. BORROWER is responsible for all attorney fees and costs incurred by DOH in any action taken to enforce its rights under this section, including in any alternative dispute resolution proceeding. 4.14. LOAN SECURITY LOAN Security is only required if identified in the Declarations. In its sole discretion and if allowed under the EPA regulations relevant to this Contract, DOH may subordinate its LOAN security to Borrower’s obligations under existing or future bonds and notes. Nothing in this section releases BORROWER from the obligation to make LOAN PAYMENTS when due, and to adjust rates, fees, or surcharges as necessary to meet its obligations under this CONTRACT. 4.15. AMENDMENTS, MODIFICATIONS, ASSIGNMENTS, AND WAIVERS Amendments, modifications, assignments, and waivers to any of the terms of this CONTRACT supersede, if applicable, those terms as found in the original CONTRACT, and are not binding unless they are in writing and signed by representatives authorized to bind each of the parties. Only the authorized representative or their designee has the express, implied, or apparent authority to alter, amend, assign, modify, or waive any terms of this CONTRACT.

DOH may require the LOAN, including fees and ineligible project costs (if any), be paid in full as a condition of approval. Nothing in this CONTRACT may be waived unless approved by DOH in writing. No waiver of any default or breach is implied from any failure to take action upon such default or breach if the default of breach persists or repeats. Waiver of any default or breach is not a waiver of any subsequent default or breach. 4.16. AMERICAN IRON AND STEEL None of the LOAN funds can be used for the construction, alteration, maintenance, or repair of a public water system or treatment works unless all of the iron and steel products used are produced in the United States. “Iron and steel products” means the following products made primarily of iron or steel: lined or unlined pipes and fittings, manhole covers and other municipal castings, hydrants, tanks, flanges, pipe clamps and restraints, valves, structural steel, reinforced precast concrete, and construction materials. DOH may waive this requirement if: A. Compliance would be inconsistent with the public interest; or B. The particular iron and steel products are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reas onably available quantities and are not of a satisfactory quality; or DWL27107 City of Pasco Page 8 of 31 DWSRF Loan Contract (Municipal) v1 C. Inclusion of iron and steel products produced in the United States will increase the cost of the overall project by more than twenty-five (25) percent; and D. The waiver is approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). BORROWER must submit the waiver request to DOH, which will submit it to EPA. The full text of the American Iron and Steel requirements can be found in H.R. 3547, Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014, P.L. 113-76, SEC. 436. 4.17.

DISPUTES Except as otherwise provided in this CONTRACT, when a dispute arises between the parties that cannot be solved by direct negotiation, either party may request a dispute hearing with the Director of the Office of Drinking Water (the Director), who may designate a neutral person to decide the dispute.

The respondent must send a written answer within five (5) working days. In the alternative, the parties can agree to submit a mutual request to the Director, which should include each party’s response to the other party’s characterization of the dispute. The Director or designee will review the written statements and reply in writing to both parties within ten (10) working days. The Director or designee may extend this period if necessary by notifying the parties. The decision on the dispute is non-binding and is not admissible in any succeeding judicial or quasi-judicial proceeding. This non-binding dispute process must precede any action in a judicial or quasi-judicial tribunal. Nothing in this CONTRACT limits the parties from using any mutually acceptable alternate dispute resolution (ADR) method in addition to or instead of the dispute hearing procedure outlined above.

BORROWER’s contracts and subcontracts must include a term that the state of Washington and DOH are not liable for claims or damages arising from a contractor and/or subcontractor’s performance or lack thereof. 4.41. SURVIVAL The CONTRACT’s terms, conditions, and warranties that by its sense and context are intended to survive the completion of the performance, cancellation or termination of this CONTRACT, shall so survive. 4.42. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE If DOH concludes that BORROWER has failed to comply with the CONTRACT requirements or has otherwise breached one or more parts of the CONTRACT, DOH may, at its discretion, upon notice to BORROWER, terminate or suspend the CONTRACT and/or its attached agreements in whole or in part. The notice will be in writing and state the reason(s) for termination or suspension, and the effective date. The effective date will be determined by DOH. The notice will allow BORROWER at least thirty (30) business days to cure the breach, if curable. If the breach is not cured or cannot be cured within thirty (30) business days, the outstanding balance of the LOAN, with any interest accrued and other costs as authorized by the CONTRAC T shall be due and payable to DOH. If DOH terminates this CONTRACT under this section, DOH is liable only for payment required under the terms of this CONTRACT for ELIGIBLE PROJECT COSTS incurred prior to the effective date of termination. At DOH’s discretion, the termination for cause may be deemed a termination for convenience if DOH determines that the default or failure to perform was outside BORROWER’s control, fault or negligence. The rights and remedies of DOH provided in this CONTRACT are not exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law. Nothing in this section affects BORROWER’s obligations to immediately repay the unpaid balance of the LOAN as prescribed in the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 246-296-150. 4.43. TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION FOR CONVENIENCE If funding or appropriation from state, federal, or other sources is withdrawn, reduced, or limited in any way during the TIME OF PERFORMANCE, DOH may: DWL27107 City of Pasco Page 13 of 31 DWSRF Loan Contract (Municipal) v1 A. Delay or suspend releasing LOAN FUNDS until funding or appropriation are available to DOH; or B. Amend the CONTRACT to reflect the new funding limitations and conditions; or C. Terminate the CONTRACT and/or its attached agreements, in whole or in part; or D. Suspend the CONTRACT and/or its attached agreements, in whole or in part. If DOH terminates the CONTRACT and/or its attached agreements in whole or in part, under this section, DOH will notify BORROWER’s representative in writing of the reason(s) for termination, and the effective date. The effe ctive date will be determined by DOH. DOH may choose to suspend this CONTRACT and/or its attached agreements in whole or in part, if DOH determines that the funding insufficiency will likely be resolved in time for BORROWER to resume activities prior to the end of the TIME OF PERFORMANCE. DOH will notify BORROWER’s representative by facsimile or email of the reason(s) for suspension, and the effective date. DOH will determine the effective date. BORROWER must suspend performance on the effective date of the suspension. During the period of suspension each party must notify the other party’s representative of any conditions that may reasonably affect its ability to resume performance. During the suspension, when DOH determines that the funding insufficiency is resolved, DOH may notify BORROWER’s representative of the proposed date to resume performance. BORROWER must respond to DOH’s representative in writing, within five (5) business days of DOH sending notice, as to whether it can resume performance on that date or offer an alternative date to resume performance. If BORROWER cannot resume performance or the alternative date is not acceptable to DOH, the parties agree the CONTRACT will be deemed terminated for convenience, retroactive to the original date of suspension. If DOH terminates or suspends this CONTRACT, DOH is liable only for payment required under the terms of this CONTRACT for eligible project costs incurred prior to the effective date of suspension or termination. Nothing in this section shall affect Contractor’s obligations to repay the unpaid balance of the LOAN. Nothing in this section affects BORROWER’s obligation to repay the LOAN, including fees and other expenses as allowed by the CONTRACT. 4.44. TERMINATION PROCEDURES When BORROWER receives Notice of Termination or on the date a suspension is converted to a termination, except as otherwise directed by DOH, BORROWER will: A. Stop work under the CONTRACT on the date, and to the extent specified, in the notice; B. Place no further orders or subcontracts for materials, services, or facilities related to the CONTRACT; C. If expressly requested by DOH, assign to DOH any or all of the rights, title, and interest of BORROWER under the orders and subcontracts so terminated, in which case DOH has the right, at its discretion, to settle or pay any or all claims arising out of the termination of such orders and subcontracts. Any attempt by BORROWER to settle such claims must have the prior written approval of DOH; and D. Preserve and transfer any materials, CONTRACT deliverables and/or DOH property in BORROWER’s possession as directed by DOH. Upon termination of this CONTRACT, DOH will pay BORROWER for amounts due under the CONTRACT prior to the date of termination unless such payment is precluded under any other provision of this CONTRACT . DOH may withhold any amount due as DOH reasonably determines is necessary to protect DOH against potential loss or liability resulting from the termination. DOH will pay any withheld amount to BORROWER if DOH later determines that loss or liability will not occur. 4.45. WORK HOURS AND SAFETY STANDARDS If this CONTRACT exceeds $100,000, BORROWER must comply with the applicable Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 USC Chapter 37). These requirements do not apply to the purchases of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or contracts for transportation or transmission of intelligence.

B. Make information on forthcoming opportunities available to Disadvantaged Business Enterprises and arrange time frames for contracts and establish delivery schedules, where the requirements permit, in a way that encourages and facilitates participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in the competitive process. This includes, whenever possible, posting solicitations for bids or proposals for a minimum of thirty (30) calendar days before the bid or proposal closing date. C. Consider in the contracting process whether firms competing for large contracts could subcontract with Disadvantaged Business Enterprises.

DWL27107 City of Pasco Page 25 of 31 Attachment VII: Labor Standards Provisions DWSRF Loan Contract (Municipal) v1 ATTACHMENT VII: LABOR STANDARD PROVISIONS FOR SUBRECIPIENTS THAT ARE GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES Wage Rate Requirements Under The Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013 (P.L. 113 -6) Preamble With respect to the Clean Water and Safe Drinking Water State Revolving Funds, EPA provides capitalization grants to each state which in turn provides subgrants or loans to eligible entities within the state. Typically, the subrecipients are municipal or other local governmental entities that manage the funds. For these types of recipients, the provisions set forth under Roman Numeral I, below, shall apply. Although EPA and the State remain responsible for ensuring subrecipients’ compliance with the wage rate requirements set forth herein, those subrecipients shall have the prima ry responsibility to maintain payroll records as described in Section 3(ii)(A), below and for complian ce as described in Section I-5. Occasionally, the subrecipient may be a private for profit or not for profit entity. For these types of recipients, the provisions set forth in Roman Numeral II, below, shall apply. Although EPA and the State remain responsible for ensuring subrecipients’ compliance with the wage rate requirements set forth herein, those subrecipients shall have the primary responsibility to maintain payroll records as described in Section II-3(ii)(A), below and for compliance as described in Section II-5. I. Requirements Under The Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013 (P.L. 113 -6) For Subrecipients That Are Governmental Entities: The following terms and conditions specify how recipients will assist EPA in meeting its Davis -Bacon (DB) responsibilities when DB applies to EPA awards of financial assistance under the FY 2013 Continuing Resolution with respect to State recipients and subrecipients that are governmental entities. If a subrecipient has questions regarding when DB applies, obtaining the correct DB wage determinations, DB provisions, or compliance monitoring, it may contact Department of Health. If a State recipient needs guidance, they may obtain additional guidance from DOL’s web site at http://www.dol.gov/whd/. 1. Applicability of the Davis- Bacon (DB) prevailing wage requirements. Under the FY 2013 Continuing Resolution, DB prevailing wage requirements apply to the construction, alteration, and repair of treatment works carried out in whole or in part with assistance made available by a State water pollution control revolving fund and to any construction project carried out in whole or in part by assistance made available by a drinking water treatment revolving loan fund. If a subrecipient encounters a unique situation at a site that presents uncertainties regarding DB applicability, the subrecipient must discuss the situation with the recipient State before authorizing work on that site. 2. Obtaining Wage Determinations. (a) Subrecipients shall obtain the wage determination for the locality in which a covered activity subject to DB will take place prior to issuing requests for bids, proposals, quotes or other methods for soliciting contracts (solicitation) for activities subject to DB. These wage determinations shall be incorporated into solicitations and any subsequent contracts. Prime contracts must contain a provision requiring that subcontractors follow the wage determination incorpo rated into the prime contract. (i) While the solicitation remains open, the subrecipient shall monitor www.wdol.gov weekly to ensure that the wage determination contained in the solicitation remains current. The subrecipients shall amend the solicitation if DOL issues a modification more than 10 days prior to the closing date (i.e. bid opening) for the solicitation. If DOL modifies or supersedes the applicable wage determination less than 10 days prior to the closing date, the subrecipients may request a finding from the State recipient that there is not a reasonable time to notify interested contractors of the modification of the wage determina tion. The State recipient will provide a report of its findings to the subrecipient. (ii) If the subrecipient does not award the contract within 90 days of the closure of the solicitation, any modifications or supersedes DOL makes to the wage determination contained in the solicitation shall be effective unless the State recipient, at the request of the subrecipient, obtains an extension of the 90 day period from DOL pursuant to 29 CFR 1.6(c) (3) (iv). The subrecipient shall monitor www.wdol.gov on a weekly DWL27107 City of Pasco Page 26 of 31 Attachment VII: Labor Standards Provisions DWSRF Loan Contract (Municipal) v1 basis if it does not award the contract within 90 days of closure of the solicitation to ensure that wage determinations contained in the solicitation remain current. (b) If the subrecipient carries out activity subject to DB by issuing a task order, work assignment or similar instrument to an existing contractor (ordering instrument) rather than by publishing a solicitation, the subrecipient shall insert the appropr iate DOL wage determination from www.wdol.gov into the ordering instrument. (c) Subrecipients shall review all subcontracts subject to DB entered into by prime contractors to verify that the prime contractor has required its subcontractors to include the applicable wage determinations. (d) As provided in 29 CFR 1.6(f), DOL may issue a revised wage determination applicable to a subrecipient’s contract after the award of a contract or the issuance of an ordering instrument if DOL determines that the s ubrecipient has failed to incorporate a wage determination or has used a wage determination that clearly does not apply to the contract or ordering instrument. If this occurs, the subrecipient shall either terminate the contract or ordering instrument and issue a revised solicitation or ordering instrument or incorporate DOL’s wage determination retroactive to the beginning of the contract or ordering instrument by change order. The subrecipient’s contractor must be compensated for any increases in wages resulting from the use of DOL’s revised wage determination. 3. Contract and Subcontract provisions. (a) The Recipient shall insure that the subrecipient(s) shall insert in full in any contract in excess of $2,000 which is entered into for the actual construction, alteration and/or repair, including painting and decorating, of a treatment work under the CWSRF or a construction project under the DWSRF financed in whole or in part from Federal funds or in accordance with guarantees of a Federal agency or financed from funds obtained by pledge of any contract of a Federal agency to make a loan, grant or annual contribution (except where a different meaning is expressly indicated), and which is subject to the labor standards provisions of any of the acts listed in § 5.1 or the FY 2013 Continuing Resolution, the following clauses: (1) Minimum wages. (i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR part 3)), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and such laborers and mechanics. Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1(b)(2) of the Davis -Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of this section; also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular we ekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in § 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein: Provided, that the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage determination (including any additional classification and wage rates conformed under paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section) and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH-1321) shall be posted at all times by the Borrower and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers. Subrecipients may obtain wage determinations from the U.S. Department of Labor’s web site, www.dol.gov. (ii)(A) The subrecipient(s), on behalf of EPA, shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The State award official shall approve a request for an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria have been met: (1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination; and (2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and DWL27107 City of Pasco Page 27 of 31 Attachment VII: Labor Standards Provisions DWSRF Loan Contract (Municipal) v1 (3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination. (B) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their representatives, and the subrecipient(s) agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), documentation of the action taken and the request, including the local wage determination shall be sent by the subrecipient (s) to the State award official. The State award official will transmit the request, to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC 20210 and to the EPA DB Regional Coordinator concurrentl y. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification request within 30 days of receipt and so advise the State award official or will notify the State award official within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary. (C) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification or their representatives, and the subrecipient(s) do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the award official shall refer the request and the local wage determination, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the State award official, to the Administra tor for determination. The request shall be sent to the EPA DB Regional Coordinator concurrently. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt of the request and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary. (D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to paragraphs (a)(1)(ii)(B) or (C) of this section, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this contract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification. (iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fring e benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof. (iv) If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, provided, that the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligat ions under the plan or program. (2) Withholding. The subrecipient(s), shall upon written request of the EPA Award Official or an authorized representative of the Department of Labor, withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor under this contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work, all or part of the wages required by the contract, the (Agency) may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased. (3) Payrolls and basic records. (i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the contractor during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics wo rking at the site of the work. Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such worker, his or her correct classificatio n, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis -Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the contractor shall maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors employing DWL27107 City of Pasco Page 28 of 31 Attachment VII: Labor Standards Provisions DWSRF Loan Contract (Municipal) v1 apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evi dence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs. (ii)(A) The contractor shall submit weekly, for each week in which any contract work is performed, a copy of all payrolls to the subrecipient, that is, the entity that receives the sub -grant or loan from the State capitalization grant recipient. Such documentation shall be available on request of the State recipient or EPA. As to each payroll copy received, the subrecipient shall provide written confirmation in a form satisfactory to the State indicating whether or not the project is in compliance with the requirements of 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1) based on the most recent payroll copies for the specified week. The payrolls shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i), except that full social security numbers and home addresses shall not be included on the weekly payrolls. Instead the payrolls shall only need to include an individually identifying number for each employee (e.g., the last four digits of the employee's social security number). The required weekly payroll information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH-347 is available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division Web site at http://www.dol.gov/whd/forms/wh347instr.htm or its successor site. The prime contractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors. Contractors and subcontractors shall maintain the full social security number and current address of each covered worker, and shall provide them upon request to the subrecipient(s) for transmission to the State or EPA if requested by EPA, the State, the contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing wage requirements. It is not a violation of this section for a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide addresses and social security numbers to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly submission to the subrecipient(s). (B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a “Statement of Compliance,” signed by the contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons employed under the contract and shall certify the following: (1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided under § 5.5 (a)(3)(ii) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5, the appropriate information is being maintained under § 5.5 (a)(3)(i) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5, and that such information is correct and complete; (2) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee) employed on the contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in Regulations, 29 CFR part 3; (3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and f ringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract. (C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the “Statement of Compliance” required by paragraph (a)(3)(ii)(B) of this section. (D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under section 1001 of title 18 and section 231 of title 31 of the United States Code. (iii) The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section available fo r inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the State, EPA or the Department of Labor, and shall permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, the Federal agency or State may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12. (4) Apprentices and trainees-- (i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Offic e of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually DWL27107 City of Pasco Page 29 of 31 Attachment VII: Labor Standards Provisions DWSRF Loan Contract (Municipal) v1 registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or subcontractor's registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classif ication. If the Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed un til an acceptable program is approved. (ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for the trainee's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the wor k performed until an acceptable program is approved. (iii) Equal employment opportunity. The utilization of apprentices, trainees and journeymen under this part shall be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 29 CFR part 30. (5) Compliance with Copeland Act requirements. The Borrower must comply with the requirements of 29 CFR part 3, which are incorporated by reference in this contract. (6) Subcontracts. The Borrower and/or subcontractor must insert in any subcontracts the clauses contained in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1) through (10) and such other clauses as the EPA determines may by appropriate, and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontra cts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5. (7) Contract termination; debarment. A breach of the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be grounds for termination of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontrac tor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12. (8) Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act requirements. All rulings and interpretations of the Davis -Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR parts 1, 3, and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this contract. DWL27107 City of Pasco Page 30 of 31 Attachment VII: Labor Standards Provisions DWSRF Loan Contract (Municipal) v1 (9) Disputes concerning labor standards. Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this contract. Such disputes will be resolved according to the procedures of the Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause include disputes between the contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and Subrecipient(s), State, EPA, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives. (10) Certification of eligibility. (i) By entering into this contract, Borrower certifies that neither it (nor he or she) nor any person or firm who has an interest in the Borrower’s firm is a person or firm ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1). (ii) No part of this contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm ineligible for award of a Government contract by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1).

(2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (a)(1) of this section the contractor and any subcontractor responsible therefore shall be liable for the unpaid wages. In addition, such contractor and subcontractor shall be liable to the United States (in the case of work done under contract for the District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory), for liquidated damages. Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual labor er or mechanic, including watchmen and guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (a)(1) of this section, in the sum of $10 for each calendar day on which such individual was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard w orkweek of forty hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in paragraph (a)(1) of this section. (3) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages. The subrecipient, upon written request of the EPA Award Official or an authorized representative of the Department of Labor, shall 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 (b)(2) of this section.
