Exhibit D-l Affirmative Action Plan Under Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 PURPOSE: To ensure that, to the greatest extent feasible, projects financed through the City of San Leandro's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program provide business and employment opportunities for businesses in the City of San Leandro. In all contracts for work in connection with a CDBG project, the following clause (referred to as the "Section 3" Clause), shall be included: 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). 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. This includes, to the greatest extent feasible, that opportunities for training and employment be given to lower income residents of the project area and that contracts for work in connection with the project be awarded to business concerns which are located in, or owned in substantial part by, persons residing in the area of the project. B. The parties to this contract agree to comply with HUD's regulations in 24 CFR Part 135, which implement Section 3. The parties to this contract certify that they are under no contractual or other type of impediment which would prevent compliance 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 the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for training and employment. D. The contractor 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 contractor will not subcontract with any subcontractor where the contractor has notice or knowledge that the subcontractor has been found in violation of the regulations in 24 CFR Part 135. E. The contractor certifies that any vacant employment positions, including training positions, that are filled 1) after the contractor is selected but before the contract is executed, and 2) with persons other than those to whom the regulations of 24 CPR Part 135 require employment opportunities to be directed, were not filled to circumvent the contractor's obligations under 24 CPR Part 135. F. Non-compliance with HUD's regulations in 24 CFR Part 135 may result in termination of this contract for default. Senior Center Project No. 210-18-116 COBG- Rev. 3/15/04 2/6/06 Page 38 of39
