The Grant Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 327-333)-Where applicable, all contracts

Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR part 5). Under Section 102 of the Act, each subcontractor is
required to compute the wages of every mechanic and laborer on the basis of a standard work week of
40 hours. Work in excess of the standard work week is permissible provided that the worker is
compensated at a rate of not less than 1 % times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess
of 40 hours in the work week. Section 107 of the Act is applicable to construction work and provides
that no laborer or mechanic is required to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are

materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or contracts for transportation or

SCOPE OF WORK
Funds awarded under this grant will be used for$430,000 in capital expenditures for the Manette Housing
project, a 9-unit affordable housing project in Bremerton. The location of the project is: 2115 East 19th
Street, Bremerton, WA 98310. This project is expected to be complete by December 31, 2024.
Project activities will include and be limited to the construction of the following utility improvements:
• Water utility improvements: An 8-inch ductile iron water main extension from E Highlands St. to
the project and along frontage is required due to now existing water service along frontage and
for hydrant(s) installation. A 4-inch ductile iron water main extension from E 19th St. to provide
individual water services is needed as well.
• Sewer utility improvements: An 8 inch PVC main extension from E. Highlands St. and E. 19th
Street along the entire frontage of the property is required because there is not any existing
sewer mains adjacent to the property.
• Stormwater utility improvements: Infiltrate runoff for the entire site as the City of Bremerton does
not have any stormwater management infrastructure nearby.
The"Copyright Provisions", Section 16 of the General Terms and Conditions, are not intended to apply to
any architectural and engineering design work funded by this grant.
Based on the criteria within the state capital budget, SSB 1080 Sec 1074, (Laws of 2021), and criteria
developed by Commerce to ensure the terms of the appropriation are met, all grants must meet the
following criteria:
• Applicant must be a city, county or public utility district, applying in coordination with the
developer of a multi-unit affordable housing project, located within a jurisdiction that imposed a
sales and use tax under RCW 82.14.530(1)(a)(ii), 82.14.530(1)(b)(i)(B), 82.14.540, or 84.52.105.
• The utility project must serve new multi-unit affordable) housing projects that serve and benefit
low-income households.2 If the project is a mixed-income project, the affordable portion of the
development must be at least 25%.
• The affordable housing project should be part of a program that will monitor affordability for a
minimum of 25 years, such as the Housing Trust Fund, low-income housing tax credits, housing
authority, or a city monitoring process. A covenant and/or note and deed of trust may be required
as part of securitization to ensure affordability.
1 "Affordable housing"has the same meaning as in RCW 43.185A.010,and means residential housing for rental
occupancy which,as long as the same is occupied by low-income households,requires payment of monthly
housing costs,including utilities other than telephone,of no more than thirty percent of the family's income. In the
context of homeownership,the definition from the Housing Trust Fund Handbook applies(Section 701.7):
"affordability occurs when a household's monthly housing costs are generally no more than 38 percent of monthly
household income and total debt is no more than 45 percent of monthly household income. Housing costs include
mortgage principal, interest,property taxes, homeowner insurance,homeowner association fees,and land lease
fees,as applicable. Total debt includes other debt and utilities."
2"Low-income household" has the same definition as in RCW 43.185.010(6),and means a single person,family or
unrelated persons living together whose adjusted income is less than eighty percent of the median family income,
adjusted for household size, for the county where the project is located.

How this project meets criteria for APRA SLFRF Projects
This project aligns to the Expenditure Category 3 of ARPA SLRF, services to Disproportionately Impacted
Communities, Housing Support: Affordable Housing EC 2.15,3 Under ARPA's SLFRF guidance, funding
for this grant falls under the category of responding to "Public Health and Economic Impacts" of the
COVID-19 public health emergency. Within that category of eligible actions, this program is intended to
"Building Stronger Communities through Investments in Housing and Neighborhoods" by serving those
communities that were hardest hit by the pandemic through investments in affordable housing
development. Eligible services include: Affordable housing development to increase supply of affordable
and high quality living units. Supporting the development of affordable housing is important to address a
limited supply of housing, some of which is inadequate, or of poor quality.4 The Interim Final Rule
supports this finding by stating that "both the public health and economic impacts of the pandemic have
fallen most severely on communities and populations disadvantaged before it began" including"low
income communities, people of color, and Tribal communities."5
