STATEMENT OF PURPOSE (Article 2.0) • The purpose of the Historical Resource Development Program is to provide grants to preserve, conserve, interpret, and enhance the historical resources of the state. • SHSI has been designated by the Iowa General Assembly to administer REAP/HRDP, and the grant recipient has been approved for funding. CONTRACTUAL REQUIREMENTS (Article 3.0) • REAP/HRDP monies are to be expended according to Iowa Administrative Code [223] Chapter 49. • The Grantee must: EMPLOY IOWANS IF POSSIBLE --� • Give preference to Iowans and Iowa products and services in carrying out this grant. AVOID ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES • Refrain from using REAP/HRDP funds to influence legislation or for any lobbying function. • Follow all local, state, and federal laws, including, but not limited to, Title VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, which bar discrimination against any employee, applicant for employment, or any person participating in a sponsored program, on the basis of race, creed, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, or physical or mental disability, and require compensation for employment at no less than minimum wage requirements, and provide safe and sanitary working conditions. • Comply with applicable ADA provisions. ADA is a civil rights law teat prohibits discrimination on the basis of physical or mental impairment (the definition of disability). Your project should comply with ADA, unless (1) the property is a religious entity, a private club or private residence and not used as a place of public accommodation; (2) the property is an owner-occupied bed-and-breakfast with five or fewer rooms; or (3) the repair work is something like reroofing, masonry repointing, painting or wallpapering, or changes to mechanical and electrical systems that do not affect the usability of the property. If you can make minor adjustments in your project that would eliminate barriers in a way that meets the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archeology and Historic Preservation, you should do so. If your proposed work is an alteration that affects the "primary function area" of your property, ADA accessibility standards also apply to the path from accessible parking to and through an entrance. Building owners are not required to spend more than 20% of the total cost of altering the primary function area to make the path of travel to that area accessible. (There are also alternative requirements for those historic properties that cannot be made accessible without threatening or destroying their significance—contact SHSI if you believe this is your situation.) • Check with SHSI before disturbing the ground of your site, including moving in any large equipment or uprooting plants. Once SHSI has provided permission for you to proceed, make sure that any excavation work at your project is carefully observed by you or your contractors. If, during construction, the project work uncovers an item or items which might be of archaeological, historical, or architectural interest—or if important new archaeological, historical, or architectural data come to light in the project area -- STOP. You should make reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize harm to the materials until the significance of the discovery can be determined by a professionally-qualified archaeologist. Contact the SHSI Office with any questions and for instructions. PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THE GRANT • Include the following statement in any printed lists of contributors, and in any promotions, publicity, or advertising: "This project was partially supported through funding from the Resource Enhancement and Protection (REAP) Act through a Historical Resource Development Program (HRDP) grant from the State Historical Society of Iowa." • Post signs provided by the State in a conspicuous place near the entry of the structure or near the area where grant funds were used.

We highly recommend that you include a clause in all construction contracts and/or project specifications which states that "All work on this project will be done in accordance with the recommended practices as stated in the 1990 edition of The Secretary of Interior's Standards for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings (revised 1990)."

FINDING OF NON-COMPLIANCE (Article 4.0) • The State may, for cause, find that the Grantee is not in compliance with the requirements of the HRDP program or the terms of this contract pursuant to Iowa Administrative Code [223] Chapter 49. At the State's discretion, remedies for non-compliance include suspension or return of HRDP grant funds. CANCELLATION DUE TO NON-APPROPRIATION (Article 5.01 • If funds anticipated for the continued fulfillment of this contract are at any time cancelled or insufficient either through the failure of the State of Iowa to appropriate funds, or through discontinuance or material alteration of the program for which funds were provided, the State shall have the right to cancel this contract without penalty by giving written notice of not less than thirty (30) days documenting the lack of funding, discontinuance or program alteration.
