Local Economic Benefit for Low- and Very Low-Income Persons Plan
Grant number: Grant Numbers 10-D-2155 and 10-C-2125
To ensure that, to the greatest extent possible, contracts for work are awarded to business
concerns located or owned in substantial part by persons residing in the Section 3 covered area,
as required by Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Orange County
has developed and hereby adopts the following Plan:
This Section 3 Plan shall apply to services needed in connection with the grant including, but not
limited to, businesses in the fields of planning, consulting, design, building
construction/renovation, maintenance and repair, etc.
This Section 3 covered project area for the purposes of this grant program shall include Orange
County and portions of the immediately adjacent area.
When in need of a service, Orange County will identify suppliers, contractors or subcontractors
located in the Section 3 area. Resources for this identification shall include the Minority
Business Directory published through the State Department of Commerce, local directories and
Small Business Administration local offices. Word of mouth recommendation shall also be used
as a source.
Orange County will include this Section 3 clause in all contracts executed under this CDBG
Program. Where deemed necessary, listings from any agency noted above shall be included as
well as sources of subcontractors and suppliers.
The prime contractor selected for major public works facility or public construction work will be
required to submit a Section 3 Plan which will outline his/her work needs in connection with the
project. Should a need exist to hire any additional personnel, the Orange County Employment
Security Commission shall be notified and referred to the contractor.
Each contract for housing rehabilitation under the program, as applicable, for jobs having
contracts in excess of $100,000 shall be required to submit a Section 3 Plan. This Plan will be
maintained on file in the grant office and shall be updated from time to time or as the grant staff
may deem necessary.
Early in our project, prior to any contracting, major purchases or hiring, we will develop a listing
of jobs, supplies and contracts likely to be utilized during the project. We will then advertise in
our local newspaper an advertisement, prominently located as a display advertisement, the
pertinent information regarding the project including all Section 3 required information.
