~ Any additional requirements for quality, architecture, or design over and above HQS. Execution of the Agreement [24 CFR 983.153, FR Notice 11/24/08] The Agreement must be executed promptly after SAHA notice of proposal selection to the selected owner. Generally, SAHA may not enter into the Agreement with the owner until the subsidy layering review is completed. Likewise, SAHA may not enter into the Agreement until the environmental review is completed and SAHA has received environmental approval. However, SAHA does not need to conduct a subsidy layering review in the case of a HAP contract for an existing structure or if the applicable state or local agency has conducted such a review. Similarly, environmental reviews are not required for existing structures unless otherwise required by law or regulation. SAHA will enter into the Agreement with the owner within 14 days of receiving both environmental approval and subsidy layering approval, and notice that these have been approved by the Housing Authority, and before construction or rehabilitation work is started. 17-IV.C. CONDUCT OF DEVELOPMENT WORK Labor Standards [24 CFR 983.154(b)] If an Agreement covers the development of nine or more contract units (whether or not completed in stages), the owner and the owner's contractors and subcontractors must pay Davis- Bacon wages to laborers and mechanics employed in the development of housing. The HUD- prescribed form of the Agreement will include the labor standards clauses required by HUD, such as those involving Davis-Bacon wage rates. The owner, contractors, and subcontractors must also comply with the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, Department of Labor regulations in 29 CFR part 5, and other applicable federal labor relations laws and regulations. SAHA must monitor compliance with labor standards. Equal Opportunity [24 CFR 983.154(c)] The owner must comply with Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 and the implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 135. The owner must also comply with federal equal employment opportunity requirements. Owner Disclosure [24 CFR 983.154(d) and (e)] The Agreement and HAP contract must include a certification by the owner that the owner and other project principals are not on the U.S. General Services Administration list of parties excluded from federal procurement and non-procurement programs. The owner must also disclose any possible conflict of interest that would be a violation of the Agreement, the HAP contract, or HUD regulations. 17-IV.D. COMPLETION OF HOUSING The Agreement must specify the deadlines for completion of the housing, and the owner must develop and complete the housing in accordance with these deadlines. The Agreement must also specify the deadline for submission by the owner of the required evidence of completion. iii29iio Page 17-12
