paid for with CDBG-CV funds must be shown separately so that the bid proposal identifies the CDBG-CV
activities and the amount of the contract to be reimbursed with CDBG-CV funding.
10. Construction contracts shall be awarded to the low, responsive and responsible bidder. If all bids exceed the
available funds,the Recipient can apply one or more deductive bid alternates to determine the low,responsive and

fair housing phone inquiries or refer the inquiries to the appropriate people/agencies. Records maintained by the
contact will help the community do the following.
• Define where discriminatory practices are occurring,

• Provide the community with a means to gain information that can be used to design and implement
strategies that will eliminate fair housing impediments.
Examples of fair housing activities include the following:

public buildings does not meet the requirement for a fair housing activity.
The Recipient shall document its fair housing activities by keeping photographs,newspaper articles,sign-in sheets
and copies of handouts in their CDBG-CV project file and include information about the activities in the comment
section of the quarterly report during which the activity was undertaken.

b) The actions taken in response to the call,and
c) The results of the actions taken.
Section 504 prohibitions against discrimination (see 45 C.F.R. part 84) apply to service availability, accessibility,
delivery, employment, and the administrative activities and responsibilities of organizations receiving Federal financial
assistance. A recipient of Federal financial assistance may not, on the basis of disability:
• Deny qualified individuals the opportunity to participate in or benefit from Federally funded programs,
services, or other benefits,
• Deny access to programs, services,benefits or opportunities to participate as a result of physical barriers,or
• Deny employment opportunities,including hiring,promotion,training,and fringe benefits,for which they are
otherwise entitled or qualified.
The ADA regulations (Title II, 28 C.F.R. part 35, and Title III, 28 C.F.R. part 36) prohibit discrimination on the
basis of disability in employment, State and local government, public accommodations, commercial facilities,
transportation, and telecommunications. To be protected by the ADA,one must have a disability or have a relationship
or association with an individual with a disability.
Title II covers all activities of state and local governments regardless of the government entity's size or receipt of
Federal funding. Title II requires that State and local governments give people with disabilities an equal opportunity to
benefit from all their programs, services, and activities (e.g. public education, employment, transportation, recreation,
health care,social services,courts,voting,and town meetings). State and local governments are required to follow specific
architectural standards in the new construction and alteration of their buildings. They also must relocate programs or
otherwise provide access in inaccessible older buildings, and communicate effectively with people who have hearing,
vision, or speech disabilities.
Title III covers businesses and nonprofit service providers that are public accommodations, privately operated
entities offering certain types of courses and examinations, privately operated transportation, and commercial facilities.
Public accommodations are private entities who own,lease,lease to,or operate facilities such as restaurants,retail stores,
hotels, movie theaters, private schools, convention centers, doctors' offices, homeless shelters, transportation depots,
zoos,funeral homes,day care centers,and recreation facilities including sports stadiums and fitness clubs. Transportation
services provided by private entities are also covered by Title III.

openings that exist on CDBG-CV-funded projects in the community. The Recipient and its contractors shall keep records
to document the number of low- and moderate-income people who are hired to work on CDBG-CV-funded projects.
The number of low- and moderate-income residents who are hired to work of the project shall be reported in the
