On May 3, 2022, the City Council adopted a resolution approving the acceptance of

$4,000,000 for the Zoo Educational Hub ($2,000,000) and installation of a universally
accessible playground at Thornton Park ($2,000,000). On September 6, 2022, the City
Council approved an appropriation adjustment to recognize the grant funding.
The City’s first universally accessible playground installation at the George Upton All
Access Park (one acre-site) located within Thornton Park will include equipment
specially designed to enable children of all abilities to play alongside each other (Exhibit
1). All children, regardless of physical limitation, should be able to enjoy the fun that
comes along with playing on a playground. The universal playground will feature
multigenerational play components to support playground usage by those with
disabilities as well as their parents and caregivers, adaptive swings, and wheelchair-
accessible elements. This playground will replace the 30-year-old playground with aging
equipment.

National Joint Powers Alliance) is a public agency that serves as a national municipal
contracting agency to provide competitive procurement services to participating

3141-3144, and 3146-3148) as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 C.F.R. § 5,
“Labor Standards Provisions Applicable to Contracts Covering Federally Financed and Assisted

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 Copeland “Anti-Kickback” Act (40 U.S.C. § 3145), as supplemented by Department of Labor
regulations (29 C.F.R. § 3, “Contractors and Subcontractors on Public Building or Public Work

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

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 C.F.R. § 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
010521-LSI

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. This provision is

Organizations and Small Business Firms Under Government Grants, Contracts and Cooperative
Agreements,” and any implementing regulations issued by the awarding agency. Vendor
certifies that during the term of an award for all contracts by Sourcewell resulting from this
procurement process, Vendor must comply with applicable requirements as referenced above.
E. CLEAN AIR ACT (42 U.S.C. § 7401-7671Q.) AND THE FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL
ACT (33 U.S.C. § 1251-1387). Contracts and subgrants of amounts in excess of $150,000 require
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). Vendor
certifies that during the term of this Contract will comply with applicable requirements as
referenced above.
