3. HUD Section 3 Compliance
Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, as amended (12 U.S.C.
1701u) (Section 3) requires New Castle County to ensure that employment and other
economic and business opportunities generated by the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) financial assistance, to the greatest extent feasible, are
directed to public housing residents and other low-income persons, particularly
recipients of government housing assistance, and business concerns that provide
economic opportunities to low and very low income persons.
Section 3 is applicable when the normal completion of construction and
rehabilitation projects creates the need for new employment, contracting or training
opportunities. If the expenditure of covered funding does not result in new
employment, contracting, or training opportunities, the requirements of Section 3
are not applicable.
As a recipient of HUD Community Planning and Development assistance, New Castle
County certifies it will comply with the requirements of Section 3. The requirements of
Section 3 also apply to contractors or subcontractors that receive contracts in excess of
$100,000 for Section 3 eligible projects/activities.
HUD's regulations on Section 3 can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, at
24 CFR 135. For more information on HUD Section 3 Rule, visit the HUD website:

Complete and attach the Section 3 Certification Forms (Attachment 1).
4. EPA Certification
Common renovation activities like sanding, cutting and demolition can create hazardous lead
dust and chips by disturbing lead-based paint, which can be harmful to adults and children. To
protect against this risk, on April 22, 2008, EPA issued the Renovation,
Repair and Painting Rule (RRP). It requires that firms performing renovation, repair
and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in pre-1978 homes, child care
facilities and schools be certified by EPA, and that they use certified renovators who
are trained by EPA-approved training providers to follow lead-safe work practices.
Under the RRP, contractors must use lead-safe work practices and follow these three
simple procedures: Contain the work area; Minimize dust; Clean up thoroughly.
Individuals can become certified renovators by taking an eight-hour training course
from an EPA-approved training provider.
For more information on the EPA RRP Rule Contact, call the EPA at 1-800-424-5323
Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm eastern time or visit the EPA website:
https://www.epa.gov/lead/renovation-repair-and-painting-program-contractors
***All certificates, licenses and the completed Section 3 Certification Forms must be
submitted with the bid documents. Failure to do so will exclude your firm from the
award.
Please Note: Firms and individuals must be EPA RRP certified and submit
certifications with their bid documents.
