Baltimore Housing Mobility Program 410-223-2222 www.brhp.org I. OVERVIEW OF BRHP The Baltimore Regional Housing Partnership (BRHP), an innovative nonprofit organization, administers the Baltimore Housing Mobility Program. The Program is one of the nation's largest and most successful housing mobility programs. As a result, our program continues to grow and become increasingly turned to for strategic advice on how to replicate our services throughout the country. Our 501c3 nonprofit has approximately 50 full-time employees. The organization does not currently have an employer-provided retirement plan. We would like to implement an effective retirement plan for our employees in early 2017. BRHP has a proven track record of opening pathways to a better future by giving over 3,400 low-income families expanded housing, educational and economic choices in opportunity areas across the region. In 2016, BRHP will assist several hundred additional families to move to communities of opportunity and will continue to serve an additional several hundred families per year through 2018. Each qualifying family that chooses to participate and completes the counseling program receives a Housing Choice Voucher, high-quality housing, financial counseling, and support in the transition to the new neighborhood and schools.

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 40 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 40 hours in such workweek. (b) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of the provisions set forth in paragraph 6(a), the Contractor and any Section II - Page 2 of 3 form HUD-5370-C (10/2006)

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 the 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 provisions set forth in paragraph (a) of this clause, 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 40 hours without payment of the overtime wages required by provisions set forth in paragraph (a) of this clause.

Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Proposed Debarment, and Other Responsibility Matters (Per 48CFR 52.209-5) (1) I,, hereby certify on behalf of (insert name of Offeror/Firm) and its key principals, associates and staff, that we: (A) Are not presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency; (B) Have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (Federal, State, or local) contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or State antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property (if offeror checks have, the offeror shall also see 52.209-7, if included in this solicitation); (C) Are not presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a governmental entity with, commission of any of the offenses enumerated in Section (A) above; (D) Have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds $3,000 for which the liability remains unsatisfied; (E) Have not, within a 3-year period preceding this offer, had one or more contracts terminated for default by any Federal agency; and (F) Do not have an Active Exclusion on the System for Award Management (SAM). (2) The Offeror shall provide immediate written notice to BRHP if, at any time prior to contract award, the Offeror learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. (3) The certification in paragraph (1) of this provision is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making award. If it is later determined that the Offeror knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Government, BRHP may terminate the contract resulting from this award for default. (4) Where the Offeror is unable to certify to any of the statements in this certification, such prospective participant shall attach an explanation to this certification form. Offeror (Firm): Date: By: Name: Title: 48 FAR 52.209-5 11/2/2015

Guidance: (A) Offeror s inability to certify to the items in paragraph (1)(B), (1)(C), (1)(D), and (1)(E) will not necessarily result in withholding of an award. However, this certification will be considered in connection with a determination of the Offeror's responsibility. Failure of the Offeror to furnish a certification or provide such additional information as required in paragraph (4) above or as requested by the Contracting Officer may render the Offeror non-responsible. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by paragraph (1) above. The knowledge and information of an Offeror is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings. (B) Principal, for the purposes of this certification, means an officer, managing member, director, owner, partner, or a person having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity. (C) Federal taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply: (i) the tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted. (ii) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded. Examples. (i) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. 6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights. (ii) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. 6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.(iii) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. 6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.(iv) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. 362 (the Bankruptcy Code).
