HUD-4010 (06/2022) <br />Previous editions are obsolete. Page 4 of 5 ref. Handbook 1344.1 <br />If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe <br />benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator determines that a <br />different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringe benefits shall be paid in accordance with <br />that determination. In the event the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a State <br />Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the contractor will <br />no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed <br />until an acceptable program is approved. <br />(ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate <br />for the work performed, unless they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has <br />received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training <br />Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan <br />approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate <br />specified in the approved program for the trainee’s level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman <br />hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with <br />the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid <br />the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour <br />Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate <br />on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the <br />payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and <br />Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work <br />actually performed. <br />In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program <br />shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In the <br />event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the contractor will no <br />longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an <br />acceptable program is approved. <br />(iii) Equal employment opportunity. The utilization of apprentices, trainees, and journeymen under 29 CFR Part 5 shall be <br />in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 29 <br />CFR Part 30. <br />(5) Compliance with Copeland Act requirements. The contractor shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR Part 3, which <br />are incorporated by reference in this Contract. <br />(6) Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor will insert in any subcontracts the clauses contained in subparagraphs (1) <br />through (11) in this paragraph (a) and such other clauses as HUD or its designee may, by appropriate instructions, require, <br />and a copy of the applicable prevailing wage decision, and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these <br />clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or <br />lower tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in this paragraph. <br />(7) Contract termination; debarment. A breach of the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be grounds for termination of the <br />contract and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12. <br />(8) Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act Requirements. All rulings and interpretations of the Davis-Bacon and <br />Related Acts contained in 29 CFR Parts 1, 3, and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this Contract. <br />(9) Disputes concerning labor standards. Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this Contract shall not be <br />subject to the general disputes clause of this Contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of <br />the U.S. Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR Parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause include <br />disputes between the contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and HUD or its designee, the U.S. Department of Labor, or <br />the employees or their representatives. <br /> <br />(10) Certification of Eligibility. <br />(i) By entering into this Contract, the contractor certifies that neither it (nor he or she) nor any person or firm who has an <br />interest in the contractor’s firm is a person or firm ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by virtue of Section <br />3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1) or to be awarded HUD contracts or participate in HUD programs <br />pursuant to 24 CFR Part 24.
