18. Clarifying Problem Areas Construction: Per Sections 323(a)(2) and 326(c)(2) of the HBCU and HBGI statutes respectively, construction is an allowable activity, as are maintenance and renovation.
Difference between construction and renovation: Construction involves building something that was not there, whereas renovation is taking an existing instructional facility and updating it—for example, to wire a classroom to provide wireless capabilities for students.
When undertaking construction, renovation, maintenance or improvement of instructional facilities grantees must abide by several Federal guidelines, which can be found at:
EDGAR, Appendix A to Part 74—Contract Provisions
EDGAR 75.600-75.617
Many of these are only for construction and/or renovation, dealing with permits, etc. However, keep in mind that whenever you hire an outside contractor to install or improve facilities you must abide by the guidelines pertaining to wage determinations, i.e. the Davis-Bacon Act.
