10.5 Compliance with Section 3 Clause. Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development act of 1968, 12 U.S.C. 1701u, as amended by Section 915 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 requires that economic opportunities generated by HUD financial assistance for housing and community development programs be targeted toward low- and very low- income persons. Whenever HUD assistance generates opportunities for employment or contracting, state and local grantees, as well as other recipients of HUD housing assistance funds must, to the greatest extent feasible, provide these opportunities to low- and very low- income persons and to businesses owned by or employing low- and very low- income persons. Section 3 applies to projects for which HUD's share of project costs exceeds $200,000 and contracts and subcontracts awarded on projects for which HUD's share or project costs exceeds $200,000 and the contract or subcontract exceeds $100,000. For purposes of this Section 3 Clause and compliance thereto, whenever the word "contractor" is used it shall mean and include, as applicable, the Vista Del Rio, and its contractor and subcontractor(s), if any. The particular text to be utilized in any and all contracts of any contractor doing work covered by Section 3 shall be in substantially the form of the following, as reasonably determined by the Agency, or as directed by HUD or its representative, and shall be executed by the applicable contractor under penalty of perjury: "(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. 1701u ("Section 3").

(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 contractor agrees to send to each labor organization or representative of workers with which the contractor has a collective bargaining agreement or other understanding, if any, a notice advising the labor organization or workers' representative of the contractor's commitments under this Section 3 clause, and will post copies of notices 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 of job titles subject to hire, availability of apprenticeship and training positions, the qualifications for each; and the name and location of person(s) taking applications for each of the position; and the anticipated date the work shall begin.
