In the following pages, the responsibilities and obligations of HUD, Title | recipients and contractors working on CDBG funded projects are detailed. Included are explanations of the statutory provisions and sanctions, general terms and conditions, Labor Standards Provisions that should become part of the contract documents, and the Contractor Certification of Eligibility for all contractors. In addition, actual forms, which must be utilized, will be made available. Although the regulations and procedures may initially appear to be complicated, the intent of this implementation process stresses prevention and, if carefully followed, should be effective in preventing labor standard violations and minimizing the impact of those which do occur. Any questions occurring during project implementation should be addressed to the Program Monitor assigned to the project.
