RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2009-307 accepting loan 004-09-ECE-ARRA from the California Energy
Commission (CEC), appropriating the funds from the loan to the Streetlight Retrofit and Relamping
project, and authorizing the City Manager or designee to execute loan documents on behalf of the
City.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
In an effort to reduce energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions, the City Council directed staff to
replace over 7,000 street lights with high efficiency induction lights. Numerous agencies, including the
California Energy Commission ("CEC"), have made funds available to assist local government in their
efforts to increase energy efficiency and reduce global warming. On May 19, 2009, Council approved
Resolution 2009-119 authorizing, among other items, City Staff to apply for a low interest loan from
the California Energy Commission for the purpose of retrofitting street lights. On October, 30, 2009,
the City was notified that its loan application has been approved.
However, the City received a letter dated November 23, 2009 stating the CEC has stopped
processing all one percent loan applications pending receipt of National Environmental Policy Act
("NEPA") and National Historic Preservation Act ("NHPA") documentation to verify compliance with
the law. The CEC informed the City that NEPA and NHPA compliance is required because the one
percent loans are funded with federal American Recovery & Reinvestment Act ("ARRA") funds. The
CEC informed the City that the NEPA and NHPA documentation review process could delay the
project. If their review process significantly delays the project, the Department of Energy may not "re-
approve" the one percent loan. Staff has reviewed the requested NEPA and NHPA documentation
and believes the paperwork is ministerial in nature and will not cause significant delays to the project.
As such, staff recommends accepting the low interest loan from the CEC.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
This project is a Class 1 categorical exemption (minor alteration of existing structure or facilities) and
is, therefore, exempt from the environmental review process under provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15301(c).
Staff estimates that the change in technology will reduce the City's current power consumed for street
lighting from 5,118,967 kwh/year to 2,040,898 kwh/year. This is a reduction of 3,078,049 kWh
annually. In terms of greenhouse gas reduction, this project will result in the reduction of 1,240 tons
annually, the equivalent of taking 170 cars off the road for a year, or planting 124,000 trees.

FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff believes the NEPA and NHPA documentation requirements are ministerial in nature and will not
cause significant delays to the project or the "re-approval" of the one percent loan. If the one percent
loan is re-approved, the estimated loan amount will be $1,543,000. Loan repayment will be made in
semi-annual payments (June and December) estimated at $160,587 per payment for an estimated
annual total of $321,174. The loan repayment period will be five years. The one percent loan is a
reimbursement loan; the City may draw funds down from the State as expenditures are made. The
City has the right to prepay all or any part of the amount of the one percent loan at any time without
penalty. Monthly progress reports are required as part of this loan. The City must retain expenditure
records for three years following the last reimbursement received under the loan.
To ensure the project is not significantly delayed, Staff has prepared a back-up solution should the
NEPA and NHPA documentation requirements, or other processing requirements, cause significant
delays to the project.
Solution
If receipt of the one percent loan is significantly delayed, using the General Capital Construction
("GCC") Fund to advance the $1,543,000 to the Street Light Fund would offer a solution. Advancing
these funds from the GCC Fund would ensure the efficient completion of work. Funds would be
repaid from the Street Light Fund with interest over a five year period in annual installments. The
interest rate for the advance would be consistent with the rate earned on the Treasurer's Pool;
currently 2.63%. The interest rate would fluctuate based on the average yearly yield on the
Treasurer's Portfolio. At the current 2.63% interest rate, the annual payment would be approximately
$329,673.
Loan or advance repayment is similar regardless of which funding solution is used. The loan or
advance will be repaid using savings accrued through reduced maintenance and operating costs in
the Street Lighting budget. Staff estimates switching to induction street lights will reduce energy costs
for Street Lighting by approximately $290,000 annually. Additionally, annual maintenance costs are
projected to decrease by an additional $100,000 due to the extended life span and warranties for
induction lamps. The total anticipated annual savings from this project are $390,000.
The one percent CEC Loan represents a portion of the funding that will be used to complete the
Street Light Retrofit Project. The funding breakdown for the estimated cost of the project is as follows:
Funding Source
Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant
CDBG Allocation
SDG&E Incentives
California Energy Commission Loan Amount
Total
Amount
$ 939,000
265,000
285,000
1,543,000
$3,032,000
Staff is requesting the full amount of the anticipated loan, $1,543,000, be appropriated to this project
to ensure the efficient completion of work.

9, SOURCE OF REPAYMENT; OPERATION OF PROJECT
A. Semiannual payments due to the Commission under this Agreement shall be
made from savings in energy costs or other legally available funds as the
Borrower chooses. If the Borrower is a county, city, town, township, board of
education, or school district, the Borrower agrees that the amount of the
semiannual Loan repayment shall not be raised by the levy of additional taxes
and shall not be an obligation against tax revenues, but shall be obtained either
from savings in energy costs resulting from the subject energy conservation
projects or other legally available funds as the Borrower chooses.
B. Energy cost savings as determined by the Commission are based on energy
usage and serving utility rate schedules at the time of the issuance of this Loan,
except as specified in Special Conditions, if any, as detailed in this Agreement,
and the illfonnatioll and data contained in the Borrower's loan application and
technical study. The following will not affect the Conmission's initial finding
of energy cost savings, and are not a basis for claiming a lack of energy
savings: a) changes in energy use andlor rate schedules which occur after
issuance of the Loan, except as specified in Special Conditions, if any, as
detailed in this Agreement, b) de~~iations in the project worlc scope fronl what
was approved by the Energy Commission, c) changes in the Borrower's
facility andlor equipment which occur after the issuance of the loan, including,
but not limited to maintenance, operations, schedules, employees and facility
alterations and expansions, d) deviations, omissions or- errors found in the loan
application and technical study after the loan award. The Boll-ower is
responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the information contailled in its loan
ECA4 Pub Entity Loan Agreement--4RR4 SEP - 3 - Rev. 10;'27/09
application and technical study. In the event annual energy cost savings
resulting from the Project, as determined by the Commission, fail to equal or
exceed the amount due under this Agreement, this Agreement may be
renegotiated to assure that the repayment amount does not exceed the actual
energy savings or avoided costs resulting from the Project, and the Promissory
Note will be revised accordingly. In no event, however, will the number of
semiannual installments payable hereunder and under the Promissory Note
exceed thirty.
C. The Borrower shall obtain and maintain in its records any and all permits and
licenses required to install or operate the Project and shall comply with all
local, state, and federal laws, rules and codes concerning the Project. The
Borrower shall maintain the Project in good working order for the duration of
the Loan and shall insure that staff members are provided appropriate training
on the operation and maintenance of the Project. The Borrower shall maintain
insurance on the Project and, in the event of any casualty loss covered by such
insurance policy, apply the proceeds to the repair of the Project or, with the
approval of the Commission, may use the insurance proceeds to install
alternate projects to generate alternative energy cost savings to repay the Loan.
D. The Borrower agrees to provide the Commission with information necessary
for administration of the Program for three years following completion of the
Project or three years after the federal grant term, whichever is later, unless the
Commission requests a longer retention period. The needed information
includes the following, at a minimum, (1) the annual computation, required by
Section 254 14 of the Energy Conservation Assistance Act, of energy cost
savings for the most recent fiscal year, calculated in the manner and provided
in the format prescribed by the Commission and (2) any information or change
in assumptions or operations which might affect the Commission's initial
determination of energy savings.
E. The Borrower authorizes any official or agent of the Commission, the State, or
the Federal Government to conduct physical inspections of the Project before
the commencement; during construction, installation and implementation of
the Project; and at any time prior to the complete repayment of the Loan. In
each contract entered into with suppliers of goods and services to install,
conduct, or operate the Project, including management semices, the Borrower
shall include terms which allow any officer or agent of the Commission, the
State, or the Federal Government access to the Project site and to any books,
documents, or records directly relevant to the Project.
F. If, prior to final repayment of the Loan, the Borrower sells the equipment or
material installed with the proceeds of the Loan or sells the building, facility or
system in which the Project has been implemented, then the Borrower shall
apply the sale proceeds to repay any remaining balance due under this
ECAA Pub Entity Loan Agreement-ARRA SEP - 4 - Rev. 1 0/27/09
Agreement in full at the time of such sale. The Borrower shall notify the
Commission within five business days of the date on which the Borrower
enters into an agreement to effect such transaction. The Borrower shall repay
the Commission within 30 calendar days of receiving an invoice fiom the
Comnission for the balance due.
G. In accordance with Section 2541 5 of the Energy Conservation Assistance Act,
the Borrower covenants to take such action as may be necessary to include all
payments due hereunder in its annual budget and to make the necessary annual
appropriations for all such payments. The obligation of the Borrower to make
such payments shall be limited to the savings realized by the Borrower as a
result of implementing the Project funded by the Loan.

BUDGET DETAILS
This loan is made to the City of Carlsbad ("Borrower") for an Energy Saving Project.
The project will convert all 7,040 street light fixtures from high pressure sodium lamps to
induction lamps, in the city of Carlsbad. This project will also reduce the city's
maintenance cost and increase system reliability and public safety since the new
induction lamps will have approximately 4 times more life than the existing high
pressure sodium lamps.
The Table below summarizes the project savings, cost and simple payback for the
project components in the listed table.
Table 1 - Summary of Project Costs and Savings
1
Simple payback is based on the loan amount.
Organization
The Borrower shall implement all projects in Table 1. Failure to implement all projects
shall reduce the approved loan amount. The reduced loan amount will be determined
by multiplying the annual energy cost savings by 13.0 or the total project cost,
whichever is less. If the Borrower has received disbursements that exceed the amount
of the reduced loan, the Borrower shall refund the difference to the Energy
Commission.

M. REQUIRED USE OF AMERICAN IRON, STEEL, AND MANUFACTURED
GOODS (COVERED UNDER INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS) -
SECTION 1605 OF THE AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT
ACT OF 2009
The Borrower agrees that in accordance with ARPA, Section 1605, neither it
nor its subawardeeslvendors will use ARRA funds for a project for the
construction, alteration, maintenance, or repair of a public building or public
work unless all of the iron, steel and manufactured goods used in the project
are produced in the United States in a manner consistent with United States
obligations under international agreements. The Borrower understands that
this requirement may only be waived by the applicable federal agency in
limited situations as set out in ARRA, Section 1605.
I) Definitions. As used in this award term and condition-
a) Manufactured good means a good brought to the construction site for
incorporation into the building or work that has been-
Processed into a specific form and shape; or
Combined with other raw material to create a material that has
different properties than the properties of the individual raw
materials.
b) Public building and public work means a public building of, and a
public work of, a governmental entity (the United States; the District
of Columbia; commonwealths, territories, and minor outlying islands
of the United States; State and local governments; and multi-State,
regional, or interstate entities which have governmental functions).
These buildings and works may include, without limitation, bridges,
dams, plants, highways, parkways, streets, subways, tunnels,
sewers, mains, power lines, pumping stations, heavy generators,
railways, airports, terminals, docks, piers, wharves, ways,
lighthouses, buoys, jetties, breakwaters, levees, and canals, and the
construction, alteration, maintenance, or repair of such buildings and
works.
c) Steel means an alloy that includes at least 50 percent iron, between
.02 and 2 percent carbon, and may include other elements.
ECAA ARRA T&Cs Page 10 of 20
Ex D
2) Domestic preference.
a) This award term and condition implements Section 1605 of the ARRA
by requiring that all iron, steel, and manufactured goods used in the
project are produced in the United States except as provided in
paragraph 2b and 2c of this section and condition.
b) This requirement does not apply to the material listed by the Federal
Government as follows:
c) The award official may add other iron, steel, and/or manufactured
goods to the list in paragraph 2b of this section and condition if the
Federal Government determines that-
The cost of the domestic iron, steel, andlor manufactured goods
would be unreasonable. The cost of domestic iron, steel, or
manufactured goods used in the project is unreasonable when the
cumulative cost of such material will increase the cost of the
overall project by more than 25 percent;
The iron, steel, and/or manufactured good is not produced, or
manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably
available quantities and of a satisfactory quality; or
e The application of the restriction of Section 1605 of the ARM
would be inconsistent with the public interest.
3) Request for determination of inapplicability of Section 1605 of the ARPA.
a) (i) Any recipient request to use foreign iron, steel, and/or
manufactured goods in accordance with paragraph 2c of this section
shall include adequate information for Federal Government
evaluation of the request, including-
A description of the foreign and domestic iron, steel, and/or
manufactured goods;
Unit of measure;
Quantity;
Cost;
Time of delivery or availability;
Location of the project;
Name and address of the proposed supplier; and
A detailed justification of the reason for use of foreign iron, steel,
and/or manufactured goods cited in accordance with paragraph
2c of this section.
Page 11 of 20
Ex D
(ii) A request based on unreasonable cost shali include a
reasonable survey of the market and a completed cost
comparison table in the format in paragraph 4 of this section.
(iii) The cost of iron, steel, and/or manufactured goods material shall
include all delivery costs to the construction site and any
applicable duty.
(iv) Any recipient request for a determination submitted after ARRA
funds have been obligated for a project for construction,
alteration, maintenance, or repair shall explain why the recipient
could not reasonably foresee the need for such determination
and could not have requested the determination before the funds
were obligated. If the recipient does not submit a satisfactory
explanation, the award official need not make a determination.
b) If the Federal Government determines after funds have been
obligated for a project for construction, alteration, maintenance, or
repair that an exception to Section 1605 of the ARRA applies, the
award official will amend the award to allow use of the foreign iron,
steel, and/or relevant manufactured goods. When the basis for the
exception is nonavailability or public interest, the amended award
shall reflect adjustment of the award amount, redistribution of
budgeted funds, and/or other actions taken to cover costs
associated with acquiring or using the foreign iron, steel, andlor
relevant manufactured goods. When the basis for the exception is
the unreasonable cost of the domestic iron, steel, or manufactured
goods, the award official shali adjust the award amount or
redistribute budgeted funds by at least the differential established in
2 CFR 176.1 10(a).
c) Unless the Federal Government determines that an exception to
Section 1605 of the ARRA applies, use of foreign iron, steel, and/or
manufactured goods is noncompliant with Section 1605 of ARRA.
4) Data. To permit evaluation of requests under paragraph 2 of this section
based on unreasonable cost, the Recipient shall include the following
information and any applicable supporting data based on the survey of
suppliers:

under ARRA as required by Congress and in accordance with 2 CFR
21 5.21 "Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and
Agreements" and OMB Circular A-102 Common Rules provisions, the
Borrower agrees to maintain records that identify adequately the source
and application of ARRA funds. OMB Circular A-102 is available at
2) If the Borrower is covered by the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996
and OMB Circular A-133, "Audits of States, Local Governments, and
Non-Profit Organizations," the Borrower agrees to separately identify the
expenditures for federal awards under the ARRA on the Schedule of
Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) and the Data Collection Form
(SF-SAC) required by OMB Circular A-133. OMB Circular A-133 is
available at
http://www.whitehouse.~ov/omb/circulars/al33/al33.html. This shall be
accomplished by identifying expenditures for federal awards made under
ARRA separately on the SEFA, and as separate rows under ltem 9 of
Part Ill on the SF-SAC by CFDA number, and inclusion of the prefix
"ARRA-" in identifying the name of the federal program on the SEFA and
as the first characters in ltem 9d of Part 111 on the SF-SAC.
3) The Borrower agrees to separately identify to each subawardee, and
document at the time of subaward and at the time of disbursement of
funds, the federal award number, CFDA number, and amount of ARRA

DAVIS-BACON AND RELATED ACTS
29 C.F.R. 5 5.5 PROVISIONS
Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 5 5.5, the following clauses apply to any contract in excess of $2,000 that is
entered into for the actual construction, alteration andlor repair, including painting and
decorating, of a public building or public work, or building or work financed in whole or in part
from Federal funds or in accordance with guarantees of a Federal agency or financed from
funds obtained by pledge of any contract of a Federal agency to make a loan, grant or annual
contribution (except where a different meaning is expressly indicated), and which is subject to
the labor standards provisions of any of the acts listed in 29 C.F.R. § 5.1:
(1) Minimum wages.
(i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work (or under the
United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or
development of the project), will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week,
and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as
are permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR
part 3) ), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof)
due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage
determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof,
regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor
and such laborers and mechanics.
Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section
l(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to
such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (a)(l)(iv) of this section;
also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less
often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period,
are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and
mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage
determination for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as
provided in § 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification
may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked
therein: Provided, That the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each
classification in which work is performed. The wage determination (including any additional
classification and wage rates conformed under paragraph (a)(l)(ii) of this section) and the
Davis-Bacon poster (WH-1321) shall be posted at all times by the contractor and its
subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily
seen by the workers.
(ii)(A) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including
helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the
contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The contracting officer
shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when
the following criteria have been met:
ECAA ARRA T&Cs Page 1 of 8
Ex. D Att. 7
(1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification
in the wage determination; and
(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and
(3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable
relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination.
(B) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if
known), or their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage
rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the
action taken shall be sent by the contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour
Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC
2021 0. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove
every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting
officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is
necessary.
(C) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification or
their representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the proposed classification and
wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the
contracting officer shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the
recommendation of the contracting officer, to the Administrator for determination. The
Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of
receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day
period that additional time is necessary.
(D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to
paragraphs (a)(l)(ii)(B) or (C) of this section, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the
classification under this contract from the first day on which work is performed in the
classification.
(iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or
mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor
shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide
fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof.
(iv) If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the contractor
may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs
reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided,
That the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor, that the
applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may
require the contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations
under the plan or program.
(2) Withholding.
The Energy Commission shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized
representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor
under this contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other
federally-assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held
ECAA ARRA T&Cs Page 2 of 8
Ex. D Att. 7
by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be
considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and
helpers, employed by the contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by
the contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice,
trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work (or under the United States
Housing Act of I937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of the
project), all or part of the wages required by the contract, the (Agency) may, after written notice
to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause
the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations
have ceased.
(3) Payrolls and basic records.
(i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the contractor during the
course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and
mechanics working at the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937, or
under the Housing Act of 1949, in the construction or development of the project). Such records
shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such worker, his or her
correct classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs
anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in
section l(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked,
deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29
CFR 5.5(a)(l)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs
reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in section
l(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the contractor shall maintain records which show that the
commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially
responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or
mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in
providing such benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved
programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and
certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios
and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs.
(ii)(A) The contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any contract work is performed
a copy of all payrolls to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) if the agency is a party to the
contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the contractor will submit the payrolls to the
applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for transmission to DOE. The payrolls
submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be
maintained under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i), except that full social security numbers and home
addresses shall not be included on weekly transmittals. Instead the payrolls shall only need to
include an individually identifying number for each employee (e.g., the last four digits of the
employee's social security number). The required weekly payroll information may be submitted
in any form desired. Optional Form WH-347 is available for this purpose from the Wage and
Hour Division Web site at http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/forms/wh347instr.htm or its successor
site. The prime contractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all
subcontractors. Contractors and subcontractors shall maintain the full social security number
and current address of each covered worker, and shall provide them upon request to DOE if the
agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the contractor will submit
them to the applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for transmission to DOE, the
contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an
investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing wage requirements. It is not a violation of this
ECkA ARRA T&Cs Page 3 of 8
Ex. D Att. 7
section for a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide addresses and social
security numbers to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly submission to the
sponsoring government agency (or the applicant, sponsor, or owner).
(B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a "Statement of Compliance," signed by the
contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the
persons employed under the contract and shall certify the following:
(I) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided under
§ 5.5 (a)(3)(ii) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5, the appropriate information is being maintained
under § 5.5 (a)(3)(i) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5, and that such information is correct and
complete;
(2) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee) employed on
the contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without
rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or
indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in
Regulations, 29 CFR part 3;
(3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and
fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified in the
applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract.
(C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of
Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the "Statement of
Compliance" required by paragraph (a)(3)(ii)(B) of this section.
(D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or
subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under section 1001 of title 18 and section 231 of
title 31 of the United States Code.
(iii) The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph (a)(3)(i) of
this section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of
the Energy Commission or the Department of Labor, and shall permit such representatives to
interview employees during working hours on the job. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to
submit the required records or to make them available, the Federal agency may, after written
notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to
cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore,
failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available may be
grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12.
(4) Apprentices and trainees--
(i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the
work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona
fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and
Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or with
a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, or if a person is employed in his or her
first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program,
who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Office of
Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services or a State Apprenticeship Agency
ECAP. ARRA T&Cs Page 4 of 8
Ex. D Att. 7
(where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable
ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater
than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered
program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or
otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the
wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. ln addition, any apprentice
performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program
shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work
actually performed. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other
than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in
percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or subcontractor's
registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate
specified in the registered program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a
percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination.
Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship
program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be
paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable
classification. If the Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable
apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the
event the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a State
Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship
program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the
applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.
(ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less
than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and
individually registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal
certification by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The
ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan
approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not
less than the rate specified in the approved program for the trainee's level of progress,
expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage
determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the
trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid
the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of
the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with
the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less
than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who
is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training
Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination
for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the
job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than
the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In the
event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program,
the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable
predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.
(iii) Equal employment opportunity. The utilization of apprentices, trainees and journeymen
under this part shall be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of
Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 29 CFR part 30.
ECkA ARRA T&Cs Page 5 of 8
Ex. D Att. 7
(5) Compliance with Copeland Act requirements. The contractor shall comply with the
requirements of 29 CFR part 3, which are incorporated by reference in this contract.
(6) Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses
contained in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(l) through (10) and such other clauses as the (write in the name of
the Federal agency) may by appropriate instructions require, and also a clause requiring the
subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor
shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all
the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5.
(7) Contract termination: debarment. A breach of the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be
grounds for termination of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor
as provided in 29 CFR 5.12.
(8) Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act requirements. All rulings and interpretations
of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR parts 1, 3, and 5 are herein
incorporated by reference in this contract.
(9) Disputes concerning labor standards. Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions
of this contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this contract. Such disputes
shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department of Labor set forth in 29
CFR parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause include disputes between the
contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the U.S. Department of
Labor, or the employees or their representatives.
(1 0) Certification of eligibility.
(i) By entering into this contract, the contractor certifies that neither it (nor he or she) nor any
person or firm who has an interest in the contractor's firm is a person or firm ineligible to be
awarded Government contracts by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR

of this section in full in any contract in an amount in excess of $100,000 and subject to the
overtime provisions of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. These clauses shall
be inserted in addition to the clauses required by § 5.5(a) or 4.6 of part 4 of this title. As used in
this paragraph, the terms laborers and mechanics include watchmen and guards.
(1) Overtime requirements. No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the
contract work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall
require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he or she is employed
on such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or
mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of
pay for all hours worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek.
ECAA ARRA T&Cs Page 6 of 8
Ex. D Att. 7
(2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of the
clause set forth in paragraph (b)(l) of this section the contractor and any subcontractor
responsible therefor shall be liable for the unpaid wages. In addition, such contractor and
subcontractor shall be liable to the United States (in the case of work done under contract for
the District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory), for liquidated
damages. Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or
mechanic, including watchmen and guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in
paragraph (b)(l) of this section, in the sum of $10 for each calendar day on which such
individual was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek of forty hours
without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(l) of
this section.
(3) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages. The Energy Commission shall upon
its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of
Labor withhold or cause to be withheld, from any moneys payable on account of work
performed by the contractor or subcontractor under any such contract or any other Federal
contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to the
Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, which is held by the same prime contractor,
such sums as may be determined to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such contractor or
subcontractor for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as provided in the clause set forth in
paragraph (b)(2) of this section.
(4) Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses
set forth in paragraph (b)(l) through (4) of this section and also a clause requiring the
subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor
shall be responsible for compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with the
clauses set forth in paragraphs (b)(l) through (4) of this section.
(c) In addition to the clauses contained in paragraph (b), in any contract subject only to the
Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act and not to any of the other statutes cited in §
5.1, the Agency Head shall cause or require the contracting officer to insert a clause requiring 7
that the contractor or subcontractor shall maintain payrolls and basic payroll records during the
course of the work and shall preserve them for a period of three years from the completion of
the contract for all laborers and mechanics, including guards and watchmen, working on the
contract. Such records shall contain the name and address of each such employee, social
security number, correct classifications, hourly rates of wages paid, daily and weekly number of
hours worked, deductions made, and actual wages paid. Further, the Agency Head shall cause
