Applicable Federal Regulations
The Sub-Recipient must apply to all applicable federal regulations including:
I. Non-Discrimination and Equal Access
No person in the United States shall on the grounds of race, color, national origin,
religion or sex be excluded, denied benefits or subjected to discrimination under any
program funded in whole or in part by CDBG/HOME funds. The Provider must take
measures to ensure non-discriminatory treatment, outreach and access to program
resources. This applies to employment and contracting, as well as to marketing and
selection of program participants.
Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity
The Provider must comply with all the following Federal laws, executive orders and
regulations pertaining to fair housing and equal opportunity. They are summarized
below:
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, As Amended (42 USC 2000d et seq.):
States that no person may be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits
of, or subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal
financial assistance on the basis of race, color or national origin. The regulations
implementing the Title VI Civil Rights Act provisions for HUD programs may be
found in 24 CFR Part 1.
The Fair Housing Act (42 USC 3601-3620): Prohibits discrimination in the sale or
rental of housing, the financing of housing or the provision of brokerage services
against any person on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin,
handicap of familial status. Fair Housing Act implementing regulations may be
found in 24 CFR Part 100-115.
Equal Opportunity in Housing (Executive Order 11063, as amended by Executive
Order 12259): Prohibits discrimination against individuals on the basis of race,
color, religion, sex or national origin in the sale, rental, leasing or other
disposition of residential property, or in the use or occupancy of housing assisted
with Federal funds. Equal Opportunity in Housing regulations may be found in 24
CFR Part 107.
3
Age Discrimination Act of 1975, As Amended (42 USC 6101): Prohibits age
discrimination in programs receiving Federal financial assistance. Age
Discrimination Act regulations may be found in 24 CFR Part 146.
Section 109 of Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974:
Requires that no person shall be excluded from participation in, denied the
benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity
funded with CDBG/HOME funds on the basis of race, color, religion, national
origin or sex.
Affirmative Marketing
The Provider must adopt affirmative marketing procedures and requirements for all
CDBG/HOME-assisted housing with five or more units. Requirements and
procedures must include:
1. Methods for informing the public, owners and potential tenants about fair
housing laws and the Provider's policies (for example: use of the Fair
Housing logo or equal opportunity language);
2. A description of what owners and/or the Provider will do to affirmatively
market housing assisted with CDBG/HOME funds;
3. A description of what owners and/or the Provider will do to inform persons
not likely to apply for housing without special outreach;
4. Maintenance of records to document actions taken to affirmatively market
CDBG/HOME-assisted units and to assess marketing effectiveness; and
5. A description of how efforts will be assessed and what corrective actions
will be taken where requirements are not met.
Handicapped Accessibility
The CDBG/HOME regulations also require adherence to the three following
regulations governing the accessibility of Federally-assisted buildings, facilities and
programs.
Americans with Disabilities Act (42 USC 12131; 47 USC 155, 201, 218 and
225): Provides comprehensive civil rights to individuals with disabilities in the
areas of employment, public accommodations, state and local government
services and telecommunications. The Act, also referred to as the ADA, also
states that discrimination includes the failure to design and construct facilities
(built for first occupancy after January 26, 1993) that are accessible to and
usable by persons with disabilities. The ADA also requires the removal of
architectural and communication barriers that are structural in nature in
existing facilities. Removal must be readily achievable, easily accomplishable
and able to be carried out without much difficulty or expense.
Fair Housing Act: Multi-family dwellings must also meet the design and
construction requirements at 24 CFR 100.205, which implement the Fair
Housing Act (42 USC 3601-19)
Section 504: Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits
discrimination in federally assisted programs on the basis of handicap.
Section 504 imposes requirements to ensure that "qualified individuals with
4
handicaps" have access to programs and activities that receive Federal funds.
Under Section 504, recipients and Sub-Recipients are not required to take
actions that create unique financial and administrative burdens or after the
fundamental nature of the program. For any Provider principally involved in
housing or social services, all of the activities of the agency -- not only those
directly receiving Federal assistance -- are covered under Section 504.
Contractors or vendors are subject to Section 504 requirements only in the
work they do on behalf of the Provider or the City. The ultimate beneficiary of
the Federal assistance is not subject to Section 504 requirements.
The Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 (42 USC 4151-4157): Requires certain
Federal and Federally-funded buildings and other facilities to be designed,
constructed or altered in accordance with standards that ensure accessibility
to, and use by, physically handicapped people.
II. Employment and Contracting
The Provider must comply with the regulations below governing employment and
contracting opportunities. These concern equal opportunity, labor requirements and
contracting/procurement procedures.
Equal Opportunity
The Provider must comply with the following regulations that ensure equal
opportunity for employment and contracting:
Equal Employment Opportunity, Executive Order 11246, as amended:
Prohibits discrimination against any employee or applicant for employment
because of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Provisions to effectuate
this prohibition must be included in all construction contracts exceeding
$10,000. Implementing regulations may be found at 41 CFR Part 60.
Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968: Requires that,
to the greatest extent feasible, opportunities for training and employment
arising from CDBG/HOME funds will be provided to low-income persons
residing in the program service area. Also, to the greatest extent feasible,
contracts for work (all types) to be performed in connection with CDBG/HOME
will be awarded to business concerns that are located in or owned by persons
residing in the program service area.
Minority/Women's Business Enterprise: Under Executive Orders 11625, 12432
and 12138, the City and the Provider must prescribe procedures acceptable to
HUD for a minority outreach program to ensure the inclusion, to the maximum
extent possible, of minorities and women, and entities owned by minorities and
women, in all contracts (see 24 CFR 85.36(e)).
Labor Requirements
The Provider must comply with certain regulations on wage and labor standards. In
the case of Davis-Bacon and the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Acts,
every contract for construction (in the case of residential construction, projects with
eight or more units) triggers the requirements.
Davis-Bacon and Related Acts (40 USC 276(A)-7): Ensures that mechanics
and laborers employed in construction work under Federally-assisted
contracts are paid wages and fringe benefits equal to those that prevail in the
5
locality where the work is performed. This act also provides for the
withholding of funds to ensure compliance, and excludes from the wage
requirements apprentices enrolled in bona fide apprenticeship programs.
Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, as amended (40 USC 327-
333): Provides that mechanics and laborers employed on Federally-assisted
construction jobs are paid time and one-half for work in excess of 40 hours per
week, and provides for the payment of liquidated damages where violations
occur. This act also addresses safe and healthy working conditions.
Copeland (Anti-Kickback) Act (40 USC 276c): Governs the deductions from
paychecks that are allowable. Makes it a criminal offense to induce anyone
employed on a Federally assisted project to relinquish any compensation to
which he/she is entitled, and requires all contractors to submit weekly payrolls
and statements of compliance.
Fair Labor. Standards Act of 1938, As Amended (29 USC 201, et. seq.):
Establishes the basic minimum wage for all work and requires the payment of
overtime at the rate of at least time and one-half. It also requires the payment
of wages for the entire time that an employee is required or permitted to work,
and establishes child labor standards.
Contracting and Procurement Practices
The CDBG/HOME programs are subject to certain Federal procurement rules. In
addition, the City and the Provider must take measures to avoid hiring debarred or
suspended contractors or Sub-Recipients and conflict-of-interest situations. Each is
briefly discussed below.
Procurement: For the City, the procurement standards of 24 CFR 85.36 apply.
For non-profit organizations receiving CDBG/HOME funds, the procurement
requirements at 24 CFR Part 84 apply.
Conflict of Interest: The CDBG regulations require grantees (the City), state
recipients and Sub-Recipients (the Provider) to comply with two different sets
of conflict-of-interest provisions. The first set of provisions comes from 24
CFR Parts 84 and 85. The second, which applies only in cases not covered
by 24 CFR Parts 84 and 85, is set forth in the CDBG regulations. Both sets of
requirements are discussed below.
- The provisions at 24 CFR 85.36 and 24 CFR 84.42 apply in the
procurement of property and services by grantees (the City), state recipients,
and Sub-Recipients (the Provider). These regulations require the City and
the Provider to maintain written standards governing the performance of their
employees engaged in awarding and administering contracts. At a minimum,
these standards must:
- Require that no employee, officer, agent of the City or the Provider shall
participate in the selection, award or administration of a contract supported
by CDBG/HOME if a conflict-of-interest, either real or apparent, would be
involved;
6
- Require that employees, officers and agents of the City or the Provider
not accept gratuities, favors or anything of monetary value from contractors,
potential contractors or parties to Sub-Agreements; and
- Stipulate provisions for penalties, sanctions or other disciplinary actions
for violations of standards.
HOME-funded projects must comply with 24 CFR 92.356.
A conflict would arise when any of the following has a financial or other interest in a
firm selected for an award:
- An employee, agent or officer of the City or the Provider;
Any member of an employee's, agent's or officer's immediate family;
- An employee's, agent's or officer's partner; or
- An organization that employs or is about to employ an employee, agent or
officer of the City or the Provider.
- The CDBG/HOME regulations at 24 CFR 570.611 governing conflict-of-
interest apply in cases not covered by 24 CFR 85.36 and 24 CFR 84.42.
These provisions cover employees, agents, consultants, officers and
elected or appointed officials of the grantee (the City), state recipient or
Sub-Recipient (the Provider). The regulations state that no person covered
who exercises or has exercised any functions or responsibilities with
respect to CDBG/HOME activities or who is in a position to participate in
decisions or gain inside information:
May obtain a financial interest or benefit from a CDBG activity; or
Have an interest in any contract, subcontract or agreement for themselves
or for persons with business or family ties.
This requirement applies to covered persons during their tenure and for one year
after leaving the grantee (the City), the state recipient or Sub-Recipient (the Provider)
entity.
Upon written request, exceptions to both sets of provisions may be granted by HUD
on a case-by-case only after the City has:
- Disclosed the full nature of the conflict and submitted proof that the
disclosure has been made public; and
Provided a legal opinion from the City stating that there would be no
violation of state or local law if the exception were granted.
Debarred contractors: In accordance with 24 CFR Part 5, CDBG/HOME funds may
not be used to directly or indirectly employ, award contracts to or otherwise engage
the services of any contractor or Sub-Recipient during any period of debarment,
suspension or placement of ineligibility status. The City should check all contractors,
subcontractors, lower-tier contractors or Sub-Recipients against the Federal
publication that lists debarred, suspended and ineligible contractors.
7
III. Environmental Requirements
The City is responsible for meeting a number of environmental requirements,
including environmental reviews, flood insurance, and site and neighborhood
standards.
Environmental Review
The City is responsible for undertaking environmental reviews in accordance with the
requirements imposed on "recipients" in 24 CFR 58. Reviews must be completed,
and Requests for Release of Funds (RROF) submitted to HUD before CDBG/HOME
funds are committed for non-exempt activities. Private citizens and organizations
may object to the release of funds for CDBG/HOME projects on certain procedural
grounds relating to environmental review (see 24 CFR 58.70 - 58.77). To avoid
challenges, grantees (the City) and Sub-Recipients (the Provider) should be diligent
about meeting procedural requirements.
Flood Insurance
Section 202 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (42 USC 4106): Requires
that CDBG/HOME funds shall not be provided to an area that has been identified by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as having special flood
hazard, unless: The community is participating in the National Flood Insurance
Program, or it has been less than a year since the community was designated as
having special flood hazards; and Flood insurance is obtained.
IV. Lead-based Paint
On September 15, 1999, the "Requirements for Notification, Evaluation and
Reduction of Lead-Based Paint Hazards in Federally Owned Residential Property
and Housing Receiving Federal Assistance; Final Rule" was published within title 24
of the Code of Federal Regulations as part 35 (24 CFR 35). The regulation was
issued under sections 1012 and 1013 of the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard
Reduction Act of 1992, which is Title X (ten) of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1992. Sections 1012 and 1013 of Title X amended the Lead-
Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act of 1971, which is the basic law covering lead-
based paint in federally associated housing.
The regulation sets hazard reduction requirements that give much greater emphasis
to reducing lead in house dust. Scientific research has found that exposure to lead in
dust is the most common way young children become lead poisoned. Therefore, the
new regulation requires dust testing after paint is disturbed to make sure the home is
lead-safe. Specific requirements depend on whether the housing is being disposed
of or assisted by the federal government, and also on the type and amount of
financial assistance, the age of the structure, and whether the dwelling is rental or
owner occupied.
On April 22, 2008, the EPA issued a rule requiring the use of lead-safe practices and
other actions aimed at preventing lead poisoning to protect against the hazards
created by exposure to lead dust in existing structures built prior to 1978. Under the
rule, all contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb
lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before 1978 must
be certified and follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination. This rule
8
(40 CFR Part 745) is enforced as of April 22, 2010. The rule must be executed by all
sub-contractors.
Property Exempt from Lead-based paint regulation:
• Housing built since January 1, 1978, when lead paint was banned for
residential use;
• Housing exclusively for the elderly or people with disabilities, unless a child
under age 6 is expected to reside there;
• Zero-bedroom dwellings, including efficiency apartments, single-room
occupancy housing, dormitories or military barracks;
• Property that has been found to be free of lead-based paint by a certified
lead-based paint inspector;
• Property where all lead-based paint has been removed;
• Unoccupied housing that will remain vacant until demolished;
• Non-Residential property; and
• Any rehabilitation or housing improvement that does not disturb a painted
surface.
Types of housing subject to 24 CFR 35:
• Federally-Owned housing being sold;
• Housing receiving a federal subsidy that is associated with the property,
rather than with the occupants (project-based assistance);
• Public housing;
• Housing occupied by a family (with a child) receiving tenant-based subsidy
(such as a voucher or certificate);
• Multifamily housing for which mortgage insurance is being sought; and
• Housing receiving federal assistance for rehabilitation, reducing
homelessness, and other special needs.
If you want copies of the regulation or have general questions, you can call the
National Lead Information Center at (800) 424-LEAD, or TDD (800) 526-5456 for the
hearing impaired. You can also download the regulation and other educational
materials at http://www.hud.gov/offices/lead/index.cfm. For further information, you
may call HUD at (202) 755-1785, ext. 104, or e-mail HUD at
lead re g ulations(a�hud.gov.
V. Displacement, Relocation, Acquisition and Replacement of Housing
CDBG/HOME projects involving acquisition, rehabilitation or demolition may be
subject to the provisions of the Uniform Relocation Act (UDA). Demolition or
conversion of units with CDBG funds may trigger section 104 (d) (also known as the
"Barney Frank Amendment" requirements.)
VI. Compliance with National Objective
The Provider will ensure and maintain evidence that activities assisted with
CDBG/HOME funds from the City of Miami Beach comply with the primary National
Objective, "Benefit to Low and Moderate Income Persons" and will provide services
or activities that benefit at least 51% low and moderate income persons. A low or
9
moderate-income household is defined as: a household having an income equal to or
less than the limits cited below. Individuals who are unrelated but are sharing the
same household shall each be considered as one-person households.
Low and Moderate Household Income Limits (Effective 05/14/2010) (Source: U.S.

Change Orders/Budget Amendments
The goal should be to limit the use of Change Orders or Budget Amendments.
Change Orders and Budget Amendments require prior written approval by the City
Manager.
To request a Change Order or Budget Amendment, a written request for changes
must be submitted to your Grant Monitor delineating the changes and providing a
detailed justification for making the request. Approvals of any changes are at the sole
discretion of the City Manager.
No budget amendment will be processed after June 30, 2014 for Public Service
Projects. No budget amendment will be processed for Capital Projects Budgets after
eighty (80) percent of the available funds have been drawn.
Budget amendments or Change Orders that deviate from the original scope will be
rejected and the funds in question may be subject to recapture at the sole discretion
of the City Manager.
Compliance with Local Rules, Regulations, Ordinances and Laws
The Sub-Recipient must remain incompliance with all local rules, regulations,
ordinances and laws (including having an active business license) in addition to
those specified in the body of the Agreement. In addition, the Sub-Recipient must not
owe any monies to the City at the time of Agreement execution or final release of
grant funds.
The City will verify with the Finance Department to ensure that no monies are due the
City prior to Agreement execution.
Employee/ Contractor File Review
The following documentation must be included in the Sub-Recipient's
employee/contractor file for those employees/contractors providing services under
this contract.
The following must be included in the employee files:
• Employment Application
• Evidence of degree/credentials
• Job Description Signed by Employee
• Evidence of Required Experience
• Florida Background Criminal Screening, if applicable
• National FBI Background Criminal Screening (Level 2), if applicable
• Affidavit of Good Moral Character, if applicable
• Proof of Knowledge of Policies & Procedures, if applicable
• 1-9 Verification on File
•
11
The City reserves the right to inspect those employee/contractor files whose salaries
are funded in part or in whole by its funds.
Evaluation
In its continuing effort to ensure contract compliance and performance, the City will
evaluate the Sub-Recipient in its fulfillment of the terms of this agreement including,
but not limited to, the following measures:
• Agreement compliance
• Leverage and fiscal soundness
• Accuracy and timeliness of Monthly Progress Reports
• Accuracy and timeliness of Monthly Financial Reports
• Adherence to project timelines
• Fulfillment of prescribed outcomes
Fiscal Stability
The Sub-Recipient is required to maintain fiscal stability throughout the terms of this
Agreement. This is to ensure the Sub-Recipient's ability to fulfill the terms of this
Agreement and meeting of the National Objective.
For affordable housing developers, fiscal stability policies are encouraged in
anticipation of additional HUD guidance regarding fiscal oversight for rental projects.
More so, as projects have extended lives, fiscal stability underscores the long-term
viability of the housing units.
Leverage
For HOME-funded projects, the Sub-Recipient must demonstrate the commitment of
other sources of funds committed to the City-funded project. Furthermore, all other
identified funds must be in place prior to the use of HOME funds.
The documentation that demonstrates this fiscal leverage is the Subsidy Layering
Review and underwriting.
Monitoring & Performance Reviews
The City reserves the right to inspect, monitor and/or audit the Sub-Recipient to
ensure contractual compliance. This includes, but is not limited to:
• Review of on-site service delivery
• Inspection and review of client, budgetary and employee files (for those
employees providing services under this Agreement)
Monitoring visits will take place within 120 days of the commencement of services.
The City will notify the Sub-Recipient a minimum of three (3) business days prior to a
monitoring visit.
Performance Ratings
12
The Sub-Recipient agrees that its Performance Rating, the score awarded for
performance on the following measures, will be posted on the City's website on an
annual basis:
• Timely and accurate submission of Monthly Progress Report
• Timely and accurate submissions of Monthly Financial Reports
(reimbursement requests)
• Delivery of contracted service units
Ratings will be given for each performance measure based on the following:

• Standard mail
• Hand delivery
Monthly reports will not be considered acceptable unless the following is met:
• Forms are completely and accurately filled
• Necessary back-up materials are included (evidence of expense incurred,
invoices, time logs, executed AIA Forms, etc.)
• Reports bear the signature of the person preparing the report and the Sub-
Recipient's authorized signatory
Monthly Progress Reports should encapsulate a project's progress in alignment with
the funds expended.
Rent Roll Submissions
Sub-Recipients using City funds for the creation or rehabilitation of affordable housing
must submit tenant rent rolls within thirty (30) days of meeting the National Objective
and every year thereafter for a minimum of fifteen (15) years in adherence with the
affordability period required with use of these funds. For completed projects, certified
tenant rolls must be submitted annually by November 1St. Tenant rolls must be
certified by the Sub-Recipient Agency's authorized signatory.
Those projects with a longer affordability period require annual tenant rolls for the
period of affordability established in the City's Restrictive Covenant and/or mortgage.
These tenant rolls must be submitted by November 1st of each year of affordability.
Tenant rolls must be certified by the Sub-Recipient Agency's authorized signatory.
Retainage
14
All capital projects utilizing HUD funds are subject to a ten (10) percent retainage that
will not be released until the National Objective is met. Retainage will be held as
appropriate from all submitted reimbursement requests.
Subsidy Layering Review
All affordable housing projects using CDBG/HOME funds require the completion of
an independent Subsidy Layering Review and underwriting. These reviews must be
completed prior to the project being submitted via HUD's IDIS system and precedes
the incurrence of any related funds. Therefore, no capital projects will be deemed
eligible for reimbursement until the Subsidy Layering Review and underwriting have
been received and accepted by the City.
The expense for the Subsidy Layering Review and underwriting services are eligible
for reimbursement if the project proceeds but is not eligible for reimbursement
otherwise.
Timeliness of Reimbursement Requests
Reimbursement requests must be submitted no later than sixty (60) days from the
incurrence of the expense. The City will strictly monitor this element. Please note that
cancelled checks must be submitted in conjunction with all reimbursement requests.
Therefore, the Sub-Recipient should calendar itself accordingly to ensure that
reimbursement requests are submitted to the City in a timely manner.
Training Requirements
The Sub-Recipient must ensure that the person responsible for preparing the Monthly
Progress Report and Monthly Financial Report attends the City's Sub-Recipient
Reporting Training and places the attendance certificate in the employee's personnel
file for inspection by the City during its monitoring visit.
Additional Documentation

this Agreement. All expenses must comply with applicable rules and regulations
including Procurement and Davis Bacon Act.
17
EXHIBIT"D"
"FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT"
To comply with federal regulations, each program must have a financial management system
that provides accurate, current and complete disclosure of the financial status of the activity.
This means the financial system must be capable of generating regular financial status
reports which indicate the dollar amount allocated for each activity (including any budget
revisions), amount obligated (i.e., for which contract exists), and the amount expended for
each activity. The system must permit the comparison of actual expenditures and revenues
against budgeted amounts. The City must be able to isolate and to trace every CDBG dollar
received and prove where it went and for what it was used.
The City is responsible for reviewing and certifying the financial management of any
operating agency, which is not a City department or bureau, in order to determine whether or
not it meets all of the above requirements. If the agency's system does not meet these
requirements and modifications are not possible, the City must administer the CDBG funds
for the operating agency.
Support for Expenditures
Sufficient support for expenses depends on the type of expenditure. They normally include
the following items:
• Salaries - Should be supported by proper documentation in personnel files of hire date,
position, duties, compensation, and raises with effective date, termination date, and
similar type information. Non-exempt employees are required by law to complete a
timesheet showing number of hours they worked during the day. All employees paid in
whole or in part from CDBG funds should prepare a time sheet indicating the hours

expend $500,000 or more in a year in Federal awards must have a single or program-

the City immediately following the end of the fiscal year(s) during which CDBG funds are
received.

with OMB Circular A-133. The deadline for this submission is the earlier of the 30 days after
