2. Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disabilities Act. For projects
$250,000 and over, CDB will place goals for the utilization of businesses owned by minorities
and woman. The applicable goals will be determined by CDB based on the size and location of
the project. Grantee agrees to endeavor to meet any applicable goals and agrees to
coordinate the meeting of these goals with CDB’s Fair Employment Practices Unit and to
provide documentation of its good faith efforts to meet those percentages in the event that
the goals are not met.

(h) Grantee agrees to comply with the Illinois Works Jobs Program Act Apprenticeship Initiative (30 ILCS 559/20-20).
i. Applicable Goal: For projects with an estimated total project cost of $500,000 or more and for which 50 percent or more of the project is being funded by appropriated capital funds, the 10 percent apprenticeship goal applies to all prevailing wage eligible work on the project. For projects receiving $500,000 or more of appropriated capital funds but for which the appropriated capital funds are less than half of the total project costs, the 10 percent apprenticeship goal only applies to prevailing wage eligible work being funded by the appropriated capital funds. The 10 percent apprenticeship goal does not apply to projects with an estimated total project cost of less than $500,000 or to projects with an estimated total project cost of $500,000 or more but for which the appropriated capital funds for the project are both less than $500,000 and less than 50 percent of the estimated total project costs.
ii. Budget Supplement: Grantee shall submit the Illinois Works Jobs Program Act Apprenticeship Initiative Budget Supplement as identified in the Payment Milestones in the Grant Agreement. The Budget Supplement shall contain a complete and thorough estimate of all the labor hours for the project, broken down by prevailing wage category.
iii. Reporting Requirements: When Apprenticeship Initiative goals are applicable, grantee shall submit quarterly reports of the hourly workforce utilization including all apprenticeship hours using Illinois Works Apprenticeship Initiative Reporting Forms. Reports shall be submitted on the dates provided in the grant agreement.
iv. Reduction or Waiver of Goal. If, at any point during the project when goals are applicable, grantee determines that the apprenticeship goal for any prevailing wage classification may not be met, Grantee shall submit a request for a reduction or waiver of that particular goal, indicating why the goal may not be met. Grantee shall include all documentation supporting the request.
v. Certification of Completion. Upon completion of the work set forth in the Grant Agreement, when goals are applicable, Grantee shall submit a certification demonstrating that the 10% apprenticeship goal has been met or that Grantee received a reduction or waiver of the 10% apprenticeship goal for each prevailing wage classification. In the event that work on the project extends beyond the term of the Grant Agreement, Grantee shall submit an additional certification upon completion of all project work.
4. Bonding Requirements. If Grantee does not have established procedures and contractual provisions requiring construction contractors to provide bonds, Grantor encourages Grantee to require construction contractors to obtain a bid bond in the amount of ten percent of the bid, a performance bond in the full amount of the bid, and a separate labor and materials payment bond in the full amount of the bid.
5. Retainage. Grantor encourages the following policy for retainage on construction contracts to ensure timely payments to contractors: “Retainage, 10 percent of the contract sum, may be reduced to 5 percent of the contract sum on all portions of work after completion of the work equals to 50 percent of the contract sum upon written request by the contractor and written approval of the Grantee and the contractor’s surety. Retention may not be reduced if the contract is behind the approved schedule, including extension or substantial claims are outstanding against the contractor or for other causes related to nonperformance.”
6. Prohibition on Administrative Costs. Grant funds shall not be spent for Grantee’s administrative costs and expenses, whether incurred as an officer, employee, or on a contractual basis. Indirect Costs may not be charged to the Award. All expenses must be bondable capital improvements.
7. Use and Ownership of Facility. Grantee must comply with the requirements of 2 CFR 200.311
for any real property acquired or improved using Grant Funds.
