The <br />Contractor certifies that the activities carried out under this Agreement will meet a National Objective. <br />B. COPELAND ANTI -KICKBACK ACT COMPLIANCE <br />The Contractor will comply with the requirements of 29 CFR Part 3 (the Copeland Act).

The second set of provisions is located at <br />24 CFR 570.61 1(a)(2). These provisions cover situations not covered by parts 84 and 85. <br />With respect to procurement activities, the Contractor must maintain written standards of conduct <br />governing the performance of its employees engaged in the award and administration of contracts. At a <br />minimum, these standards must: <br />1) Require that no employee, officer, or agent may participate in the selection, award, or administration <br />of a contract supported by federal funds if a real or apparent conflict would be involved. Such a conflict <br />would arise when any of the following parties has a financial or other interest in the firm selected for <br />an award: <br />a) An employee, officer, or agent' of the Contractor; <br />b) Any member of an employee's, officer's, or agent's immediate family; <br />c) An employee's, agent's, or officer's partner; or <br />d) An organization which employs or is about to employ any of the persons listed in the preceding <br />sections. <br />2) Require that employees, agents, and officers of the Contractor neither solicit nor accept gratuities, <br />favors, or anything of value from contractors, or parties to sub -agreements. However, Contractors may <br />set standards for situations in which the financial interest is not substantial or the gift is an unsolicited <br />item of nominal value. <br />3) Provide for disciplinary actions to be applied for any violations of such standards by employees, agents <br />or officers of the subrecipient. <br />With respect to all other CDBG-assisted activities, the general standard is that no employee, agent or <br />officer of the subrecipient, who exercises decision -making responsibility with respect to CDBG <br />funds and activities is allowed to obtain a financial interest in or benefit from CDBG activities, or <br />have a financial interest in any contract, subcontract, or agreement regarding those activities or in <br />REV 06.22.22 Page 1 of 7 <br />Page 23 of 43 <br />
