RE: Loan Contract Number: PCL28205-0
Dear Adam Lincoln;
Enclosed is the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Pre Construction Loan Contract Number identified above for your
signature. The Loan Contract details the terms and conditions that will govern the agreement between us, which includes
the projecYs Scope of Work and an Attorney's Certification as formal attachments. Failure to return the contracts within 60
calendar days of the date of this letter may result in your loan offer being withdrawn.
You may sign electronically by following the instructions of the email. Note, if you're not the authorized signer do not

you prefer, print and sign a hard copy, scan and return by email to dohcon.mgmt@doh.wa.gov or print and sign a hard
copy, and return the originals to us for full execution.
Please note that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is the funding source for this program and the Catalog of
Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number is 66.468. Consequently, the loan funds are federal and subject to both
state and federal requirements.
A non-refundable finro-percent loan administration fee will be collected at contract execution, including any subsequent
amendments where funds are added. The loan amount may be modified to include an amount sufficient to cover the two

terms and conditions of the Loan Contract and all attachments carefully for details.
A requirement of the DWSRF program is that you must maintain updated project records and yearly renewal of your
registration in the System for Award Management at www.sam.gov.
Another requirement of the DWSRF program is that all entities are required to verify that the federal government has not
suspended or debarred them from receiving federal funds. This includes, but is not limited to, project contractors,
subcontractors, engineers, architects, consultants, and equipment vendors. The Exclusion Report can be accessed at
www.sam.gov. Failure to provide this required certification may result in termination of your loan contract.
After the Loan Contracts have been signed by the Department or its designee, one fully executed original will be returned
to you for your files. Instructions for drawing the loan funds will be returned to you with the executed Loan Contract, as
well as the necessary forms. The Loan Contract specifies that draws may be made for costs that have been incurred

provided under this Contract or otherwise provided under law.
76. WAIVER

77. WORK HOURS AND SAFETY STANDARDS
The Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act(40 USC 327-333)-Where applicable, all contracts awarded by
recipients in excess of$100,000 for construction and other purposes that involve the employment of inechanics or
laborers must include a provision for compliance with Section 102 and 107 of the Contract Work Hours Safety
Standards Act (40 USC 327-333), as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR part 5). Under
Section 102 of the Act, each subcontractor is required to compute the wages of every mechanic and laborer on the
basis of a standard work week of 40 hours. Work in excess of the standard work week is permissible provided that
the worker is compensated at a rate of not less than 1 '/2 times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of
40 hours in the work week. Section 107 of the Act is applicable to construction work and provides that no laborer or
mechanic is required to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or
dangerous. 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.

40 CFR, Part 33.
2. FAIR SHARE OBJECTIVES, 40 CFR, PART 33, SUBPART D
The following are exemptions from the fair share objective Requirements:
• Grant and loan recipients receiving a total of$250K or less in EPA financial assistance in a given fiscal year.
• Tribal recipients of Performance Partnership Eligible grants under 40 CFR Part 35, Subpart B.
o There is a 3-year phase in period for the requirement to negotiate fair share goals for Tribal and Insular Area
recipients.
• Recipients of Technical Assistance Grants.
The Fair Share Objectives or goals for the utilization of disadvantaged businesses negotiated with EPA by the WA
Office of Minority Women Business are stated below.

Pursuant to 40 CFR, Section 33.301, the Contractor agrees to make the following good faith efforts whenever
procuring construction, equipment, services and supplies under an EPA financial assistance agreement, and to
ensure that sub-recipients, loan recipients, and prime contractors also comply.
Records documenting compliance with the six good faith efforts shall be retained. The six good faith efforts shall
include:
• Ensure Disadvantaged Business Enterprises are made aware of contracting opportunities to the fullest extent
practicable through outreach and recruitment activities. For Indian Tribal, State and Local Government recipients,
this will include placing the Disadvantaged Business Enterprises on solicitation lists and soliciting them whenever
they are potential sources.
• 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.
• Consider in the contracting process whether firms competing for large contracts could subcontract with

dividing total requirements, when economically feasible, into smaller tasks or quantities to permit maximum
participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in the competitive process.
• Encourage contracting with a consortium of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises when a contract is too large for
one of these firms to handle individually.
• Use the services and assistance of the Small Business Administration and the Minority Business Development
Agency of The Department of Health.

ATTACHMENT Vi: LABOR STANDARD PROVISIONS FOR SUBRECIPIENTS THAT ARE
GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES
Wage Rate Requirements Under The Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 (P.L. 113-
235)
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 2015 appropriations act 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.qov/whd/.
1. Applicability of the Davis- Bacon (DB) prevailing wage requirements.
Under the FY 2015 Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 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 incorporated into the
prime contract.
(i) While the solicitation remains open, the subrecipient shall monitor www.wdol.qov 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 determination. 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.qov on a weekly
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
appropriate 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(�, DOL may issue a revised wage determination applicable to a subrecipienYs contract
after the award of a contract or the issuance of an ordering instrument if DOL determines that the subrecipient 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 subrecipienYs 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
City of Pasco Page 31 of 36 Attachment VI:Labor Standards Provisions
PCL28205 DWSRF NT Preconstruction Loan Contract
(Municipal)
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 2015 appropriations act, 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 thereo�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 weekly 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 contractor 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
(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 concurrently. 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 officiat, to the Administrator 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 fringe
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.

(Municipal)
(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 obligations 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 working 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 classification,
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
apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence 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.qov/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;
City of Pasco Page 33 of 36 Attachment VI: Labor Standards Provisions
PCL28205 DWSRF NT Preconstruction Loan Contract
(Municipal)
(3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe 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 for
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, Office 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
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 classification. 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 O�ce 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 until 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
City of Pasco Page 34 of 36 Attachment VI: Labor Standards Provisions
PCL28205 DWSRF NT Preconstruction Loan Contract
(Municipal)
permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work 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 contractor shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR part 3,
which are incorporated by reference in this contract.

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 subcontracts.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 subcontractor 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.
(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 shall be resolved in accordance with 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 befinreen 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, the contractor certifies that neither it(nor he or she) nor any person or firm who has an
interest in the contractor's firm is a person or firm ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by virtue of section 3(a)
