4.19 Economic Opportunities for Section 3 Residents and Section 3 Business Concerns. a. The work to be performed under this contract is subject to the requirements of section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, as amended, 12 U.S.C. 170lu (section 3). The purpose of section 3 is to ensure that employment and other economic opportunities generated by HUD assistance or HUD -assisted projects covered by section 3, shall, to the greatest extent feasible, be directed to low- and very low-income persons, particularly persons who are recipients of HUD assistance for housing. b. The parties to this CONTRACT agree to comply with HUD's regulations in 24 CFR part 135, which implement section 3. As evidenced by their execution of this contract, the parties to this CONTRACT certify that they are under no contractual or other impediment that would prevent them from complying with the part 135 regulations. c. The FIRM agrees to send to each labor organization or representative of workers with which the FIRM has a collective bargaining CONTRACT or other understanding, if any, a notice advising the labor organization or workers' representative of the FIRM's commitments under this section 3 clause, and will post copies of the notice in conspicuous places at the work site where both employees and applicants for training and employment positions can see the notice. The notice shall describe the section 3 preference, shall set forth minimum number and job titles subject to hire, availability of apprenticeship and training positions, the qualifications for each; and the name and location of the person(s) taking applications for each of the positions; and the anticipated date the work shall begin. d. The FIRM agrees to include this section 3 clause in every subcontract subject to compliance with regulations in 24 CFR part 135, and agrees to take appropriate action, as provided in an applicable provision of the subcontract or in this section 3 clause, upon a finding that the subcontractor is in violation of the regulations in 24 CFR part 135. The FIRM will not subcontract with any subcontractor where the FIRM has notice or knowledge that the subcontractor has been found in violation of the regulations in 24 CFR part 135. e. The FIRM will certify that any vacant employment positions, including training positions, that are filled (1) after the FIRM is selected but before the contract is executed, and (2) with persons other than those to whom the regulations of 24 CFR part 135 require employment opportunities to be directed, were not filled to circumvent the FIRM's obligations under 24 CFR part 135, Page 13 of 28
