Recipient’s Authorized Representative:

The Recipient’s Architect/Engineer (A/E) contract is in compliance with the
Recipient’s written procurement procedures. The firm was selected in
accordance with the procurement standards set forth in 2 CFR Part 200, and
according to the EDA publication “Summary of EDA Construction Standards.”
The A/E was selected competitively by sealed bids (formal advertising) or by
competitive proposals. If not, attach an explanation of the selection method and
the reason(s) for using that method.
Requests for qualifications were publicized and all evaluation factors and their
relative importance were identified therein. Any response to publicized requests
for qualifications was honored to the maximum extent practical.
Qualifications were solicited from an adequate number of qualified sources
(normally it is sufficient to secure at least three proposals from qualified sources.)
If less than 3 qualified proposals were secured, submit an explanation to the EDA
Engineer with this checklist.
The Recipient has an objective method for conducting technical evaluations of
proposals received, selecting the best proposal, and consideration of other factors.
The Recipient determined the responsible firm whose proposal was most
advantageous to the program, with other factors considered. Competitor's
qualifications were evaluated and the most qualified competitor was selected,
subject to negotiation of fair and reasonable compensation.
The A/E agreement provides for all services required by the Recipient for the
planning, design, and construction phase of the proposed project. Appropriate
standards or guides developed by such professional organizations as the American
Consulting Engineers Council (ACEC), American Society of Civil Engineers
(ASCE), National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE), and/or the American
Institute of Architects (AIA) may be used where the Recipient does not have
standard contract documents.
The A/E’s fee for basic services is either a fixed price or a cost reimbursement with
an agreed maximum. (The amount of EDA participation will be based on a
determination, subject to audit, that the fee compensation is reasonable.)
The A/E contract compensation is not based on the use of the cost-plus-apercentage-
of- cost or percentage of construction cost form of compensation.
(These forms of compensation are not eligible for EDA participation.)
The A/E has provided a breakdown of the fee and it has been reviewed to be
reasonable.
The A/E provided fee breakdown provides that compensation is based on
completion of specific milestones. (Preliminary design, final design, construction
management, etc.)
The A/E's fee covers all services necessary for the successful execution of the
project, including consultations, surveys, soil investigations, supervision, "as- built"
drawings, arrow diagram (CPM/PERT, for example) where applicable, and
incidental costs.
The basic fee does not exceed that prevailing for comparable services in the project
area. If the total fee is in excess of the prevailing rate because of special services to
be performed, these services are identified in the agreement. Such additional charges
may be approved for funding under the EDA grants if they:
a. Do not duplicate charges for services provided for in the basic fee;
b. Are a proper charge against the project cost; and
c. Are reasonable for the extra services to be rendered.
Regardless of who furnishes the construction inspector, the agreement requires
the A/E to make sufficient visits to the project site to determine, in general, if
the work is proceeding in accordance with the construction contract.
The required federal contract provisions included (Refer to Appendix II to 2 CFR
Part 200 - Contract Provisions for Non-Federal Entity Contracts under Federal
Awards.)
The A/E Agreement states a specific timetable for:
a. Completing preliminary plans and associated cost estimates;
b. Completing final plans, specifications, and cost estimates;
c. Securing required State and local approvals; and
d. Completing proposed contract documents sufficient for soliciting bids.
The A/E agreement provides for surveillance of project construction to assure
compliance with plans, specifications, and all other contract documents. If the
Recipient chooses the A/E as the project inspector, the requirements for inspection
services shall be clearly defined and the amount the Recipient is required to pay for
such services shall be stated.
The A/E agrees to be responsible for any damages arising from any defects in design
or negligence in the performance of the construction inspector, if the inspector is
furnished by the A/E. (EDA recommends that the A/E take insurance, when
available, to cover liability for such damages.)
The A/E agrees to supervise any required subsurface explorations such as borings
and soil tests to determine amounts of rock excavation or foundation conditions,
no matter whether they are performed by the A/E or by others paid by the
Recipient.
The A/E agrees to attend bid openings, prepare and submit tabulation of bids, and
make a recommendation as to contract award.
The A/E agrees to review proof of bidder's qualifications and recommend approval
or disapproval.

Appendix II to Part 200 - Contract Provisions for Non-Federal Entity Contracts Under Federal Awards

In addition to other provisions required by the Federal agency or non-Federal entity, all contracts made by the non-
Federal entity under the Federal award must contain provisions covering the following, as applicable.
This content is from the eCFR and is authoritative but unofficial.

(A) Contracts for more than the simplified acquisition threshold, which is the inflation adjusted amount
determined by the Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council
(Councils) as authorized by 41 U.S.C. 1908, must address administrative, contractual, or legal remedies in
instances where contractors violate or breach contract terms, and provide for such sanctions and
penalties as appropriate.

(B) All contracts in excess of $10,000 must address termination for cause and for convenience by the non-
Federal entity including the manner by which it will be effected and the basis for settlement.

(C) Equal Employment Opportunity. Except as otherwise provided under 41 CFR Part 60, all contracts that
meet the definition of “federally assisted construction contract” in 41 CFR Part 60-1.3 must include the
equal opportunity clause provided under 41 CFR 60-1.4(b), in accordance with Executive Order 11246,
“Equal Employment Opportunity” (30 FR 12319, 12935, 3 CFR Part, 1964-1965 Comp., p. 339), as
amended by Executive Order 11375, “Amending Executive Order 11246 Relating to Equal Employment
Opportunity,” and implementing regulations at 41 CFR part 60, “Office of Federal Contract Compliance
Programs, Equal Employment Opportunity, Department of Labor.”

(D) Davis-Bacon Act, as amended (40 U.S.C. 3141-3148). When required by Federal program legislation, all
prime construction contracts in excess of $2,000 awarded by non-Federal entities must include a
provision for compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 3141-3144, and 3146-3148) as
supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 5, “Labor Standards Provisions
Applicable to Contracts Covering Federally Financed and Assisted Construction”). In accordance with the
statute, contractors must be required to pay wages to laborers and mechanics at a rate not less than the
prevailing wages specified in a wage determination made by the Secretary of Labor. In addition,
contractors must be required to pay wages not less than once a week. The non-Federal entity must place
a copy of the current prevailing wage determination issued by the Department of Labor in each
solicitation. The decision to award a contract or subcontract must be conditioned upon the acceptance of
the wage determination. The non-Federal entity must report all suspected or reported violations to the
Federal awarding agency. The contracts must also include a provision for compliance with the Copeland
“Anti-Kickback” Act (40 U.S.C. 3145), as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part
3, “Contractors and Subcontractors on Public Building or Public Work Financed in Whole or in Part by
Loans or Grants from the United States”). The Act provides that each contractor or subrecipient must be
prohibited from inducing, by any means, any person employed in the construction, completion, or repair of
public work, to give up any part of the compensation to which he or she is otherwise entitled. The non-
Federal entity must report all suspected or reported violations to the Federal awarding agency.

(E) Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 3701-3708). Where applicable, all contracts
awarded by the non-Federal entity in excess of $100,000 that involve the employment of mechanics or
laborers must include a provision for compliance with 40 U.S.C. 3702 and 3704, as supplemented by
Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 5). Under 40 U.S.C. 3702 of the Act, each contractor must
be 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 one and a half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in
excess of 40 hours in the work week. The requirements of 40 U.S.C. 3704 are applicable to construction
work and provide that no laborer or mechanic must be 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.

(F) Rights to Inventions Made Under a Contract or Agreement. If the Federal award meets the definition of
“funding agreement” under 37 CFR § 401.2 (a) and the recipient or subrecipient wishes to enter into a
contract with a small business firm or nonprofit organization regarding the substitution of parties,
assignment or performance of experimental, developmental, or research work under that “funding
agreement,” the recipient or subrecipient must comply with the requirements of 37 CFR Part 401, “Rights
to Inventions Made by Nonprofit Organizations and Small Business Firms Under Government Grants,
Contracts and Cooperative Agreements,” and any implementing regulations issued by the awarding
agency.

as amended - Contracts and subgrants of amounts in excess of $150,000 must contain a provision that
requires the non-Federal award to agree to comply with all applicable standards, orders or regulations
issued pursuant to the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q) and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act
as amended (33 U.S.C. 1251-1387). Violations must be reported to the Federal awarding agency and the
Regional Office of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

(H) Debarment and Suspension (Executive Orders 12549 and 12689) - A contract award (see 2 CFR 180.220)
must not be made to parties listed on the governmentwide exclusions in the System for Award
Management (SAM), in accordance with the OMB guidelines at 2 CFR 180 that implement Executive
Orders 12549 (3 CFR part 1986 Comp., p. 189) and 12689 (3 CFR part 1989 Comp., p. 235), “Debarment
and Suspension.” SAM Exclusions contains the names of parties debarred, suspended, or otherwise
excluded by agencies, as well as parties declared ineligible under statutory or regulatory authority other

$100,000 must file the required certification. Each tier certifies to the tier above that it will not and has not
