installments with the rental payments for the succeeding months.
ARTICLE V Use of Leased Premises
5.1. Lessee agrees to use and occupy the Premises only for the purpose of early childhood
programming and associated uses and for no other purpose whatsoever without the
prior written consent of the City. The Lessor makes no representations that said use is
permitted within the zoning classification to which the Leased Premises are subject. The
Lessee must not use the Leased Premises in such a manner as to violate any applicable
law, rule, ordinance, or regulation of any governmental body. The Lessee may, upon
obtaining the Lessor’s prior written consent, use the Leased Premises for any other
lawful purpose.
5.2 Included as part of the terms of this lease is the use of fixtures and furniture remaining in
the building at no additional cost to the Lessee. Lessor agrees to inventory the furniture,
fixtures and equipment that will remain in the building and add as a supplement to the
tenant walk in check list after said lease is executed. Lessee agrees that Lessor will not
RFP 8771 Child Care Provider & Tenant for 906 E Stuart Page 15 of 161
repair, maintain or replace the fixtures/furniture. Lessee holds Lessor harmless from any
damage or injury caused from said fixtures/furniture. Lessee agrees to leave any of said
fixtures/furniture at the leased premises at the time of vacation.
5.3 Lessee accepts the Premises in their present condition “as is". Lessee acknowledges
that the Premises, in their present condition, comply fully with the City’s covenants and
obligations hereunder. Lessee stipulates that the Premises have been examined,
including the grounds, buildings and all improvements, and that they are, at the time of
this lease, in good order and repair, safe, clean and in tenantable condition.
ARTICLE VI Maintenance and Repair
6.1. The Lessee must, during the term of this Lease and at its sole expense, keep the
Leased Premises in a clean and orderly and safe condition, free of litter, debris, and any
unsightly or dangerous condition as required by ordinances, resolutions, statutes and
health, sanitary and police regulations. All such work must be done promptly and
whenever necessary.
6.2 The Lessor, during the term of the Lease, will, at its expense, keep and maintain the
exterior walls, foundation and roof of the Leased Premises. Any major repairs or
replacements needed to plumbing, electrical and the heating and air conditioning system
during the term of the Lease will be the responsibility of the Lessor. The Lessor will also
be responsible for performing any routine maintenance and minor repair of systems
located on the Leased Premises, including plumbing, electrical and heating and air
conditioning.
6.3 The Lessee will also replace any and all plate, window and other glass (structural or
otherwise) in, on or about the Lessee’s portion of the Leased Premises, which may be
broken or destroyed, with glass of the same or similar quality. Any such replacement will
be at Lessee’s cost.
6.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Lessor will not in any way
be liable to the Lessee for failure to make repairs as herein specifically required of
Lessor unless the Lessee has previously notified the Lessor in writing of a need for such
repairs and the Lessor has failed to commence and complete said repairs within a
reasonable period of time following receipt of the Lessee's written notification.
6.5 During the Lease, the Lessee will be liable for and reimburse the Lessor for the cost of
any repairs or damage caused by any act or negligence of the Lessee or the Lessee's

6.6 The Lessee must neither permit nor suffer any disorderly noise or nuisance whatsoever
about the Leased Premises having any tendency to annoy or disturb any persons
occupying adjacent premises. The Lessee will neither hold nor attempt to hold the
Lessor liable for any injury or damage, either approximate or remote, occasioned
through or caused by defective electrical wiring or the breaking or stoppage of plumbing
or sewage upon the Leased Premises, whether said breakage or stoppage results from
freezing or otherwise. The Lessee must not permit or suffer the Leased Premises or the
walls thereof to be endangered by overloadings nor permit the Leased Premises to be
used for any purpose which would render the insurance thereon void or insurance risks
more hazardous without the prior written consent of the Lessor, which consent may be
conditioned upon the Lessee obtaining additional specific insurance coverage for such
more hazardous risks.
ARTICLE VII Alterations and Improvements
7.1 Any and all alterations, additions, improvements or changes to the Leased Premises by
the Lessee subsequent to the commencement of the Lease term are subject to the
written approval of the Lessor and must be done in a good and workmanlike manner
without impairing the structural soundness of the building and in compliance with the
building and zoning laws and all other laws, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations and
requirements of all federal state or municipal governments and the appropriate
departments, commissions, boards and officers thereof. The Lessee must procure
certificates of occupancy, if required by law. Furthermore, Lessee must not begin any
alterations, additions or improvements until any contractor or subcontractor engaged for
such purpose delivers to the Lessee (with a copy to the Lessor) a certificate showing
that proper workmen's compensation insurance is in full force and effect, covering any
persons performing such work, and that the same may not be canceled without at least
ten (10) days prior written notice to the Lessor. Furthermore, Lessee must not begin any
alterations, additions or improvements until the Lessee has procured and paid for all
required municipal and other governmental permits and authorizations of the various
municipal departments and governmental subdivisions having jurisdiction over the
matter.
7.2 The Lessor reserves the right, from time to time (without invalidating or modifying this
Lease), to make alterations, changes and additions to the Leased Premises.
7.3 Lessee must not begin any changes or alterations unless there is conspicuously placed
on the Leased Premises the following notice:
NOTICE
RFP 8771 Child Care Provider & Tenant for 906 E Stuart Page 17 of 161
Notice is hereby given pursuant to section 38-22-105(2), C.R.S., that the owners
of the within premises have not ordered any construction or reconstruction of the

addition, repair or other improvements of the premises.
7.4 At the end of the term of this Lease, all fixtures, furniture, equipment, additions and
alterations, except trade fixtures installed by the Lessee, shall be and remain the
property of the Lessor. However, the Lessor may require the Lessee to remove any or all
such fixtures, equipment, additions and alterations and restore the Leased Premises to
the condition that existed immediately prior to such change and installation, normal wear
and tear excepted, all at the Lessee's cost and expense. All such work must be done in
a good and workmanlike manner and must consist of new materials unless otherwise
agreed to by the Lessor.
ARTICLE VIII Covenant of Title and Quiet Enjoyment
8.1 The Lessor covenants that it is well seized of and has good title to lease the Leased
Premises.

9.1 Upon commencement of the term of this Agreement, the Lessee shall be responsible for
payment of the real property taxes and assessments that may be imposed upon the
Leased Premises.
9.2 The Lessee must pay all sales and use taxes that may be imposed as the result of the
business conducted on the Leased Premises and all personal property taxes assessed
against personal property situated thereon during the term of this Lease.
9.3 If Lessee fails to pay any such taxes, the Lessor may pay the same (but is under no
obligation to do so), and the amount so paid will be due to Lessor from Lessee at the
time of the next monthly rental payment. The Lessor, by paying any such amount, does
not waive any of its rights hereunder regarding such default.
9.4 The Lessee is not required to pay any tax, assessment, tax lien or other imposition or
charge upon or against the Leased Premises or any part thereof or the improvements at
any time situated thereon so long as the Lessee, in good faith and with due diligence,
contests the same or the validity thereof by appropriate legal proceedings that have the
effect of preventing the collection of the tax, assessment, tax lien or other imposition or
charge so contested. However, pending any such legal proceedings, the Lessee must
give the Lessor such reasonable security as may be demanded by the Lessor to insure
RFP 8771 Child Care Provider & Tenant for 906 E Stuart Page 18 of 161
payment of the amount of the tax, assessment, tax lien or other imposition or charge and
all interest and penalties thereon.
ARTICLE X Insurance
10.1 The Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, must procure, pay for and keep in full force
and effect a policy of commercial general liability insurance covering the Leased
Premises and the improvements thereon, insuring the Lessee in an amount not less than
One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) covering bodily injury, including death to persons,
personal injury and property damage liability arising out of a single occurrence. Such
coverage must include, without limitation, legal liability of the insureds for property
damage, bodily injuries and deaths of persons in connection with the operation,
maintenance or use of the Leased Premises (including acts or omissions of the Lessee).
10.2 All policies of insurance carried by the Lessee must name the Lessee as insured and
name the Lessor as an additional insured. The policy or policies must contain a
provision that the policy or policies cannot be canceled or materially altered either by the
insureds or the insurance company until thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof is
given to the Lessee and the Lessor. Upon issuance or renewal of any such insurance
policy, the Lessee must provide the Lessor with a certificate of insurance showing
evidence of coverage that names the City of Fort Collins as additional insured. Any such
policies must contain waivers of subrogation and waivers of any defense based on
invalidity arising from any act or neglect of any assignees or sub lessees of the Lessee.
Any insurance policy purchased by the Lessee must be written by an insurance carrier
which has a current rating by Best's Insurance Reports of "A" (excellent) or better and a
financial rating of "X" or better or such equivalent classification as may hereinafter be
required customarily for properties similarly situated and approved by the Lessor and the
insurance carrier must be authorized by law to do business in the State of Colorado.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Lessee's obligation to
carry insurance as provided herein may be brought within the coverage of a “blanket”
policy or policies of insurance carried and maintained by the Lessee, so long as such
policy or policies segregate the amount of coverage applicable to the Leased Premises.
If the Lessee fails to procure, maintain and/or pay for at the times and for the duration
specified herein any insurance required by this Lease, or fails to carry insurance
required by law or governmental regulation, the Lessor may (but without obligation to do
so) at any time or from time to time and without notice, procure such insurance and pay
the premiums therefore. In such event, the Lessee must repay the Lessor all sums so
paid by the Lessor, together with interest thereon and any costs or expenses incurred by
the Lessor in connection therewith, within ten (10) days following the Lessor’s written
demand to the Lessee for such payment.

ARTICLE XI Utilities
11.1 The Lessee must pay all charges for gas, electricity, water, trash removal, sewer, storm

taking occupancy but not prior to execution of said lease.
ARTICLE XII Signs
12.1 The Lessee must not affix, erect or maintain on the Leased Premises any sign or
advertisement without first obtaining the Lessor’s approval. The Lessee is responsible
for all costs of erection and maintenance of such sign or advertisement.
ARTICLE XIII Subletting and Assignment
13.1 The Lessee must not assign this Lease, any interest or any part thereof, any right or
privilege appurtenant thereto, nor mortgage or hypothecate the leasehold without the
prior written consent of the Lessor, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
Lessor’s consent to one assignment or hypothecation is not a consent to any
subsequent assignment or hypothecation; and, unless Lessee has obtained Lessor’s
written consent, any assignment or transfer or attempted assignment or transfer of this
lease or any interest therein or hypothecation either by the voluntary or involuntary act of
the Lessee or by operation of law or otherwise, may, at the option of the Lessor,
terminate this Lease; and any such purported assignment or transfer without such
consent will be null and void. The Lessor’s consent to any such assignment does not
relieve the Lessee from any obligation under this Lease unless the Lessor expressly
agrees in writing to relieve the Lessee from such obligation.
13.2 If Lessee assigns this Lease or if the Leased Premises or any part thereof is sublet or
occupied by anyone other than the Lessee, the Lessor may collect rent from the
assignee, subtenant or occupant and employ the net amount collected to the rent herein
reserved. No such collection will release the Lessee from the complete performance of
Lessee’s obligations under this Lease.
ARTICLE XIV Mechanic's Liens
14.1 The Lessee agrees to pay or cause to be paid promptly all bills and charges for material,
labor or otherwise in connection with or arising out of any alterations, additions or
changes made by the Lessee or its agents or subtenants to the Leased Premises; and
the Lessee agrees to hold the Lessor free and harmless against all liens and claims of
RFP 8771 Child Care Provider & Tenant for 906 E Stuart Page 20 of 161
liens for such labor and materials, or either of them, filed against the Leased Premises or
any part thereof and from and against any expense and liability in connection therewith.
The Lessee further agrees to discharge (either by payment or by filing the necessary
bond or otherwise) any mechanic's, materialman's or other liens against the Leased
Premises arising out of any payment due or alleged to be due for any work, labor,
services, materials or supplies claimed to have been furnished at the Lessee's request
in, on or about the Leased Premises and to indemnify the Lessor against any lien or
claim of lien attached to or upon the Leased Premises or any part thereof by reason of
any act or omission on the Lessee's part. The Lessee has, however, the right to contest
any mechanic's liens or claims filed against the Leased Premises, provided the Lessee
diligently prosecutes any such contest and at all times effectively stays or prevents any
sale of the Leased Premises under execution or otherwise, and pays or otherwise
satisfies any final judgment adjudging or enforcing such contested lien and thereafter
procures record satisfaction or release thereof. The Lessee also agrees to defend any
such contest on behalf of Lessor, at the Lessee's cost and expense.
ARTICLE XV Condemnation
15.1 If, as a result of any exercise of the power of eminent domain (hereinafter referred to as
“proceedings”), any of the following happen:
(a) the title to the whole or substantially all of the Leased Premises is taken;
(b) the Leased Premises are deprived of adequate ingress or egress to or from all
public streets and highways abutting the Leased Premises; or
(c) all or substantially all of the parking area outside of the Leased Premises is taken;
and the Lessee cannot reasonably operate in the remainder of the Leased Premises the
business being conducted on the Leased Premises at the time of such taking, then this
Lease will terminate as of the date of such taking pursuant to such proceedings. For the
purpose of construing the provisions of this Article, "proceedings" shall include any
negotiated settlement of any matter involving a condemnation, and a "taking" shall be
deemed to occur when title to the Leased Premises or possession thereof is acquired by
a governmental authority, whichever first occurs.
15.2 If, during the term of this Lease, title to less than the whole or title to less than
substantially all of the Leased Premises is taken in any such proceedings and the
Lessee can reasonably operate in the remainder of the Leased Premises the business
being conducted on the Leased Premises at the time of such taking, this Lease will not
terminate.
RFP 8771 Child Care Provider & Tenant for 906 E Stuart Page 21 of 161
15.3 All damages awarded for any taking described in this Article are the property of
the Lessor, except to the extent that any amount thereof is specifically attributable to the
Lessee's trade fixtures and to the extent that the Lessor is permitted by law to recover
any damages it may sustain as the result of such taking.
ARTICLE XVI Total or Partial Destruction
16.1 If, during the term of this Lease, the Leased Premises or any part thereof is destroyed
or so damaged by fire or other casualty as to become untenantable, then, at Lessor’s
option, the term hereby created will cease; this Lease will become null and void from the
date of such damage or destruction; and the Lessee must immediately surrender the
Leased Premises and its interest therein to the Lessor. The Lessee must pay rent within
said term only to the time of such surrender, provided, however, that the Lessor
exercises such option to so terminate this Lease by notice in writing delivered to the
Lessee within thirty (30) days after such damage or destruction. If the Lessor does not
elect to terminate this Lease, this Lease will continue in full force and effect, and the
Lessor will repair the Leased Premises with all reasonable speed, placing the same in as
good a condition as it was at the time of the damage or destruction and for that purpose
may enter upon the Leased Premises; and rent will abate in proportion to the extent and
duration of the untenantability. In either event, the Lessee must remove all rubbish,
debris, merchandise, furniture, furnishings, equipment and other items of its personal
property within five (5) days after request by the Lessor. If the Leased Premises are
only slightly injured by fire or the elements to not render the same untenable and unfit for
occupancy, then the Lessor will repair the same with all reasonable speed. In that case,
rent will not abate. Lessee is not entitled to any compensation from or claims against
the Lessor for any inconvenience or annoyance arising from the necessity of repairing
any portion of the Leased Premises, however the necessity may occur.
ARTICLE XVII Holding Over
17.1 Any holding over after the expiration of the term of this Agreement, with the consent of
the Lessor, will be construed as a tenancy from month to month on the same terms and
conditions herein specified and at the last stated rental rate described in Section 4.1
above.
ARTICLE XVIII Default of Lessee
18.1 If any one or more of the following events (herein referred to as "an event of default")
happens:
RFP 8771 Child Care Provider & Tenant for 906 E Stuart Page 22 of 161
(a) The Lessee defaults in the due and punctual payment for the rent or any other
amounts required to be paid hereunder and such default continues for three (3)
days after the receipt of written notice from the Lessor;
(b) The Lessee neglects or fails to perform or observe any of Lessee’s other
obligations hereunder, and the Lessee fail to remedy the same within fifteen (15)
days after the Lessee receives written notice from the Lessor specifying such
neglect or failure (or Lessee fails to begin such cure within said fifteen (15) days
and proceed with due diligence to complete said cure when the default is of such
nature that it cannot be cured within said fifteen (15) day period); or
(c) The Lessee (i) is adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, (ii) files a petition in
bankruptcy for reorganization or for the adoption of an arrangement under the
Bankruptcy Act (as now or in the future amended) or (iii) makes an assignment of
its property for the benefit of its creditors.
Then, and in any one or more such events, the Lessor has the right, at its election and
while such event of default continues to give the Lessee written notice of its intention to
terminate this Lease on the date of such given notice or any later date specified therein;
and on such specified date, the Lessee’s right to possession of the Leased Premises will
cease; and this Lease will be terminated.
18.2 If the Lessor must commence any action or proceeding to enforce any obligation of the
Lessee under this Lease, the Lessor is entitled to a reimbursement of all costs and
expenses incurred in said matter, including reasonable attorney’s fees.
18.3 The Lessor reserves the right to make any payments or perform any action required
hereunder by the Lessee (but is not required to do so); and all amounts expended by the
Lessor, together with interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum, must be
paid by the Lessee within 30 days following notification of such expenditures.
ARTICLE XIX Interest and Late Charges
19.1 Any amount due to the Lessor from the Lessee under this Agreement not paid when due
will bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the due date until paid.
Payments of such interest will not excuse or cure any default by the Lessee under this
Agreement. In addition, if the Lessee fails to pay any payment when due and such
failure continue for a period of ten (10) days following the due date, the Lessee must pay
to the Lessor a monthly collection service charge of five percent (5%) of the late
payment amount, which is due and payable immediately.

ARTICLE XX Attorneys' Fees
20.1 The Lessee will pay and indemnify the Lessor against all legal costs and charges,
including legal costs and attorneys' fees, lawfully and reasonably incurred in obtaining
possession of the Leased Premises after default of the Lessee, or incurred after the
Lessee surrenders possession upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease,
or incurred in enforcing any covenant of the Lessee herein contained or any right
granted to the Lessor.
ARTICLE XXI Lessee to Save Lessor Harmless
21.1 The Lessee will indemnify, release, and hold the Lessor harmless from all claims,
demands, judgments, costs, and expenses, including attorneys' fees, arising out of any
accident or occurrence causing injury to any person or property whomsoever or
whatsoever due directly or indirectly to the condition of the Leased Premises or the use
or neglect of the Leased Premises by the Lessee, its agents, employees and business
invitees or any person or persons (and their agents, employees, and business invitees)
holding under the Lessee, unless such accident or occurrence results from any tortious
misconduct or negligent act or omission on the part of the Lessor, its agents and
employees.
21.2 The Lessee will further indemnify, release and hold harmless the Lessor from any
damages and all penalties arising out of any failure of the Lessee, in any respect, to
comply with all the requirements and provisions of this Agreement. The Lessee
covenants that the Lessee will keep and save the Lessor and the Lessor’s interest in and
to the Leased Premises forever harmless from any penalty, damage or charge imposed
by any violation of any laws, whether occasioned by an act of neglect of the Lessee, or
by another or others in the Leased Premises holding under or through the Lessee.
ARTICLE XXII Hazardous Material

substance, material or waste which is or becomes regulated by any local governmental

22.2 The Lessee must not cause or permit any Hazardous Material to be brought upon, kept
or used in or about the Leased Premises by the Lessee, its agents, employees,
contractors or invitees, without the prior written consent of the Lessor (which Lessor will
not unreasonably withhold as long as the Lessee demonstrates to the Lessor’s
reasonable satisfaction that such hazardous material is necessary or useful to the
Lessee's business and will be used, kept and stored in a manner which complies with all
laws regulating any such Hazardous Material). If the Lessee breaches the obligation
stated in the preceding sentence, or if the presence of Hazardous Material on the
Leased Premises caused or permitted by the Lessee results in contamination of the
Leased Premises or if contamination of the Leased Premises by Hazardous Material
otherwise occurs for which the Lessee is legally liable to the Lessor for damage resulting
therefrom, then the Lessee will release, indemnify, defend and hold the Lessor harmless
from any and all claims, judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities or losses
(including, without limitation, diminution value of the Leased Premises, damages for the
loss or restriction on use of rentable or usable space or of any amenity of the Leased
Premises, damages, arising from adverse impact or marketing of space, and sums paid
in settlement of claims, attorneys' fees, consultant fees and expert fees) which arise
during or after the Lease term as a result of such contamination. This indemnification of
the Lessor by the Lessee includes, without limitation, costs incurred in connection with
any investigation of site conditions or any clean up, remedial, removal or restoration
work required by any federal, state or local governmental agency or political subdivision
because of Hazardous Material present in the soil or groundwater on or under the
Leased Premises. Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous
Material on the Leased Premises caused or permitted by the Lessee results in any
contamination of the Leased Premises, the Lessee must promptly take all actions at its
sole expense as are necessary to return the Leased Premises to the condition existing
prior to the introduction of any such Hazardous Material to the Leased Premises;
provided that the Lessee first obtains Lessor’s approval of such action, which approval
will not be unreasonably withheld so long as such action would not potentially have any
material adverse effect on the Leased Premises.
22.3 Lessee acknowledges the presence of lead-based paint on the Premises, and the
receipt of the report titled, “Lead-Based Paint Inspection – Residential Structure”
prepared by Walsh Environmental Scientists and Engineers, LLC, dated August 4, 2006
and revised August 9, 2006 (the “Report”) Lessee shall be responsible for all routine
maintenance associated with the use of the Premises.

any mortgages or deeds of trust hereafter placed upon the Lessor’s interest. The Lessee
agrees to promptly execute and deliver, upon the Lessor’s request, such instruments
subordinating this Lease to the lien of any such mortgages or deeds of trust as are
reasonably necessary in connection therewith, provided that the Lessor delivers to the
Lessee at the same time an agreement by the holder of any such mortgage (or deed of
trust) agreeing not to disturb or interfere with the rights of the Lessee hereunder in the
event of any foreclosure so long as the Lessee complies with all of the provisions hereof.
ARTICLE XXV Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
RFP 8771 Child Care Provider & Tenant for 906 E Stuart Page 26 of 161
25.1 The Lessee must comply with all Federal, State and local laws, including the
requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The Lessor does not
represent that the Leased Premises meet the requirements of the ADA for the purposes
of Lessee's intended use of the Leased Premises. Any improvements required to bring
the Leased Premises into compliance with the ADA for the purposes of Lessee’s
intended use are Lessee’s sole responsibility, and Lessee will indemnify and defend the
Lessor against any claims brought under the ADA regarding the Leased Premises.

than twenty-four (24) hours, and at all times during emergencies, for Lessor or Lessor’s
agents to enter the Leased Premises for the purpose of inspecting and examining the
same, or to show the same to prospective purchasers or tenants, or to make such
repairs, alterations, improvements or additions as Lessor may deem necessary or
desirable. During the ninety days prior to the expiration of the term of this Lease or any
renewal term, Lessor may exhibit the Leased Premises with prior notice and so as not to
interfere with regular use of the space, to prospective tenants or purchasers and place
upon the Leased Premises, the usual notice advertising the Leased Premises for sale or
lease, as the case may be, which notices Lessee shall permit to remain thereon without
molestation.
27.2 In the event of an emergency, in order to protect or minimize the risk of harm to life or
property if Lessee shall not be personally present to open and permit an entry into the
Leased Premises, or at any time when for any reason an entry therein shall be
necessary or permissible, Lessor or Lessor’s agents may enter the same by a master
key or may forcibly enter the same, without rendering Lessor or such agents liable
therefore, and without in any manner affecting the obligations and covenants of this
Lease. Nothing herein contained, however, shall be deemed or construed to impose
upon Lessor any obligation, responsibility, or liability whatsoever for the care,
maintenance or repair of the building or any part thereof, except as otherwise herein
specifically provided.

Are You Planning to Buy or Rent a Home Built
Before 1978?
Did you know that many homes built before 1978 have lead-based
paint? Lead from paint, chips, and dust can pose serious health
hazards.
Read this entire brochure to learn:
• How lead gets into the body
• About health effects of lead
• What you can do to protect your family
• Where to go for more information
Before renting or buying a pre-1978 home or apartment, federal
law requires:
• Sellers must disclose known information on lead-based paint or lead-
based paint hazards before selling a house.
• Real estate sales contracts must include a specific warning statement
about lead-based paint. Buyers have up to 10 days to check for lead.
• Landlords must disclose known information on lead-based paint
and lead-based paint hazards before leases take effect. Leases must
include a specific warning statement about lead-based paint.
If undertaking renovations, repairs, or painting (RRP) projects in
your pre-1978 home or apartment:
• Read EPA’s pamphlet, The Lead-Safe Certified Guide to Renovate Right,
to learn about the lead-safe work practices that contractors are
required to follow when working in your home (see page 12).
RFP 8771 Child Care Provider & Tenant for 906 E Stuart Page 35 of 161
Simple Steps to Protect Your Family
from Lead Hazards
If you think your home has lead-based paint:
• Don’t try to remove lead-based paint yourself.
• Always keep painted surfaces in good condition to minimize
deterioration.
• Get your home checked for lead hazards. Find a certified
inspector or risk assessor at epa.gov/lead.
• Talk to your landlord about fixing surfaces with peeling or
chipping paint.
• Regularly clean floors, window sills, and other surfaces.
• Take precautions to avoid exposure to lead dust when
remodeling.
• When renovating, repairing, or painting, hire only EPA- or state-
approved Lead-Safe certified renovation firms.
• Before buying, renting, or renovating your home, have it
checked for lead-based paint.
• Consult your health care provider about testing your children
for lead. Your pediatrician can check for lead with a simple
blood test.
• Wash children’s hands, bottles, pacifiers, and toys often.
• Make sure children avoid fatty (or high fat) foods and eat
nutritious meals high in iron and calcium.
• Remove shoes or wipe soil off shoes before entering your
house.

RFP 8771 Child Care Provider & Tenant for 906 E Stuart Page 36 of 161
Lead Gets into the Body in Many Ways
Adults and children can get lead into their bodies if they:
• Breathe in lead dust (especially during activities such as renovations,
repairs, or painting that disturb painted surfaces).
• Swallow lead dust that has settled on food, food preparation surfaces,
and other places.
• Eat paint chips or soil that contains lead.
Lead is especially dangerous to children under the age of 6.
• At this age, children’s brains
and nervous systems are
more sensitive to the
damaging effects of lead.
• Children’s growing bodies
absorb more lead.
• Babies and young children
often put their hands
and other objects in their
mouths. These objects can
have lead dust on them.
Women of childbearing age should know that lead is dangerous to
a developing fetus.
• Women with a high lead level in their system before or during
pregnancy risk exposing the fetus to lead through the placenta
during fetal development.
2
RFP 8771 Child Care Provider & Tenant for 906 E Stuart Page 37 of 161
Health Effects of Lead
Lead affects the body in many ways. It is important to know that
even exposure to low levels of lead can severely harm children.
In children, exposure to lead can cause:
• Nervous system and kidney damage
• Learning disabilities, attention deficit
disorder, and decreased intelligence
• Speech, language, and behavior
problems
• Poor muscle coordination
• Decreased muscle and bone growth
• Hearing damage
While low-lead exposure is most common,
exposure to high amounts of lead can have
devastating effects on children, including
seizures, unconsciousness, and, in some cases, death.
Although children are especially susceptible to lead exposure, lead can
be dangerous for adults, too.
In adults, exposure to lead can cause:
• Harm to a developing fetus
• Increased chance of high blood pressure during pregnancy
• Fertility problems (in men and women)
• High blood pressure
• Digestive problems
• Nerve disorders
• Memory and concentration problems
• Muscle and joint pain
3
RFP 8771 Child Care Provider & Tenant for 906 E Stuart Page 38 of 161
Check Your Family for Lead
Get your children and home tested if you think your home has
lead.
Children’s blood lead levels tend to increase rapidly from 6 to 12
months of age, and tend to peak at 18 to 24 months of age.
Consult your doctor for advice on testing your children. A simple blood
test can detect lead. Blood lead tests are usually recommended for:
• Children at ages 1 and 2
• Children or other family members who have been exposed to high
levels of lead
• Children who should be tested under your state or local health
screening plan
Your doctor can explain what the test results mean and if more
testing will be needed.

RFP 8771 Child Care Provider & Tenant for 906 E Stuart Page 39 of 161
Where Lead-Based Paint Is Found
In general, the older your home or childcare facility, the more likely it
has lead-based paint.1
Many homes, including private, federally-assisted, federally-
owned housing, and childcare facilities built before 1978 have
lead-based paint. In 1978, the federal government banned consumer
uses of lead-containing paint.2
Learn how to determine if paint is lead-based paint on page 7.
Lead can be found:
• In homes and childcare facilities in the city, country, or suburbs,
• In private and public single-family homes and apartments,
• On surfaces inside and outside of the house, and
• In soil around a home. (Soil can pick up lead from exterior paint or
other sources, such as past use of leaded gas in cars.)
Learn more about where lead is found at epa.gov/lead.

1 “Lead-based paint” is currently defined by the federal government as paint with
lead levels greater than or equal to 1.0 milligram per square centimeter (mg/cm), or
more than 0.5% by weight.
2 “Lead-containing paint” is currently defined by the federal government as lead in new
dried paint in excess of 90 parts per million (ppm) by weight.
RFP 8771 Child Care Provider & Tenant for 906 E Stuart Page 40 of 161
Identifying Lead-Based Paint and Lead-Based Paint
Hazards
Deteriorating lead-based paint (peeling, chipping, chalking,
cracking, or damaged paint) is a hazard and needs immediate
attention. Lead-based paint may also be a hazard when found on
surfaces that children can chew or that get a lot of wear and tear, such
as:
• On windows and window sills
• Doors and door frames
• Stairs, railings, banisters, and porches
Lead-based paint is usually not a hazard if it is in good condition
and if it is not on an impact or friction surface like a window.
Lead dust can form when lead-based paint is scraped, sanded, or
heated. Lead dust also forms when painted surfaces containing
lead bump or rub together. Lead paint chips and dust can get on
surfaces and objects that people touch. Settled lead dust can reenter
the air when the home is vacuumed or swept, or when people walk
through it. EPA currently defines the following levels of lead in dust as
hazardous:
• 40 micrograms per square foot (μg/ft2) and higher for floors,
including carpeted floors
• 250 μg/ft2 and higher for interior window sills
Lead in soil can be a hazard when children play in bare soil or when
people bring soil into the house on their shoes. EPA currently defines
the following levels of lead in soil as hazardous:
• 400 parts per million (ppm) and higher in play areas of bare soil
• 1,200 ppm (average) and higher in bare soil in the remainder of the
yard
Remember, lead from paint chips—which you can see—and lead
dust—which you may not be able to see—both can be hazards.
The only way to find out if paint, dust, or soil lead hazards exist is to
test for them. The next page describes how to do this. 6
RFP 8771 Child Care Provider & Tenant for 906 E Stuart Page 41 of 161
7
Checking Your Home for Lead
You can get your home tested for lead in several different ways:
• A lead-based paint inspection tells you if your home has lead-
based paint and where it is located. It won’t tell you whether your
home currently has lead hazards. A trained and certified testing
professional, called a lead-based paint
inspector, will conduct a paint inspection
using methods, such as:
• Portable x-ray fluorescence (XRF) machine
• Lab tests of paint samples
• A risk assessment tells you if your home
currently has any lead hazards from lead
in paint, dust, or soil. It also tells you what
actions to take to address any hazards. A
trained and certified testing professional,
called a risk assessor, will:
• Sample paint that is deteriorated on doors, windows, floors, stairs,
and walls
• Sample dust near painted surfaces and sample bare soil in the
yard
• Get lab tests of paint, dust, and soil samples
• A combination inspection and risk assessment tells you if your home
has any lead-based paint and if your home has any lead hazards, and
where both are located.
Be sure to read the report provided to you after your inspection or risk
assessment is completed, and ask questions about anything you do not
understand.

Checking Your Home for Lead, continued
In preparing for renovation, repair, or painting work in a pre-1978
home, Lead-Safe Certified renovators (see page 12) may:
• Take paint chip samples to determine if lead-based paint is
present in the area planned for renovation and send them to an
EPA-recognized lead lab for analysis. In housing receiving federal
assistance, the person collecting these samples must be a certified
lead-based paint inspector or risk assessor
• Use EPA-recognized tests kits to determine if lead-based paint is
absent (but not in housing receiving federal assistance)
• Presume that lead-based paint is present and use lead-safe work
practices
There are state and federal programs in place to ensure that testing is
done safely, reliably, and effectively. Contact your state or local agency
for more information, visit epa.gov/lead, or call 1-800-424-LEAD
(5323) for a list of contacts in your area.3

What You Can Do Now to Protect Your Family
If you suspect that your house has lead-based paint hazards, you
can take some immediate steps to reduce your family’s risk:
• If you rent, notify your landlord of peeling or chipping paint.
• Keep painted surfaces clean and free of dust. Clean floors, window
frames, window sills, and other surfaces weekly. Use a mop or sponge
with warm water and a general all-purpose cleaner. (Remember:
never mix ammonia and bleach products together because they can
form a dangerous gas.)
• Carefully clean up paint chips immediately without creating dust.
• Thoroughly rinse sponges and mop heads often during cleaning of
dirty or dusty areas, and again afterward.
• Wash your hands and your children’s hands often, especially before
they eat and before nap time and bed time.
• Keep play areas clean. Wash bottles, pacifiers, toys, and stuffed
animals regularly.
• Keep children from chewing window sills or other painted surfaces, or
eating soil.
• When renovating, repairing, or painting, hire only EPA- or state-
approved Lead-Safe Certified renovation firms (see page 12).
• Clean or remove shoes before entering your home to avoid tracking
in lead from soil.
• Make sure children avoid fatty (or high fat) foods and eat nutritious
meals high in iron and calcium. Children with good diets absorb less
lead.
RFP 8771 Child Care Provider & Tenant for 906 E Stuart Page 44 of 161
10
Reducing Lead Hazards
Disturbing lead-based paint or
removing lead improperly can
increase the hazard to your family by
spreading even more lead dust around
the house.
• In addition to day-to-day cleaning
and good nutrition, you can
temporarily reduce lead-based paint
hazards by taking actions, such as
repairing damaged painted surfaces
and planting grass to cover lead-
contaminated soil. These actions are
not permanent solutions and will need
ongoing attention.
• You can minimize exposure to lead
when renovating, repairing, or painting by hiring an EPA- or state-
certified renovator who is trained in the use of lead-safe work
practices. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, learn how to use lead–safe
work practices in your home.
• To remove lead hazards permanently, you should hire a certified lead
abatement contractor. Abatement (or permanent hazard elimination)
methods include removing, sealing, or enclosing lead-based paint
with special materials. Just painting over the hazard with regular
paint is not permanent control.
Always use a certified contractor who is trained to address lead
hazards safely.
• Hire a Lead-Safe Certified firm (see page 12) to perform renovation,
repair, or painting (RRP) projects that disturb painted surfaces.
• To correct lead hazards permanently, hire a certified lead abatement
professional. This will ensure your contractor knows how to work
safely and has the proper equipment to clean up thoroughly.
Certified contractors will employ qualified workers and follow strict
safety rules as set by their state or by the federal government.

Reducing Lead Hazards, continued
If your home has had lead abatement work done or if the housing is
receiving federal assistance, once the work is completed, dust cleanup
activities must be conducted until clearance testing indicates that lead
dust levels are below the following levels:
• 40 micrograms per square foot (μg/ft2) for floors, including carpeted
floors
• 250 μg/ft2 for interior windows sills
• 400 μg/ft2 for window troughs
For help in locating certified lead abatement professionals in your area,
call your state or local agency (see pages 14 and 15), or visit
epa.gov/lead, or call 1-800-424-LEAD.

Renovating, Remodeling, or Repairing (RRP) a Home
with Lead-Based Paint
If you hire a contractor to conduct renovation, repair, or painting
(RRP) projects in your pre-1978 home or childcare facility (such as
pre-school and kindergarten), your contractor must:
• Be a Lead-Safe Certified firm approved by EPA or an
EPA-authorized state program
• Use qualified trained individuals (Lead-Safe
Certified renovators) who follow specific lead-safe
work practices to prevent lead contamination
• Provide a copy of EPA’s lead hazard information
document, The Lead-Safe Certified Guide to
Renovate Right
RRP contractors working in pre-1978 homes and childcare facilities
must follow lead-safe work practices that:
• Contain the work area. The area must be contained so that dust and
debris do not escape from the work area. Warning signs must be put
up, and plastic or other impermeable material and tape must be used.
• Avoid renovation methods that generate large amounts of
lead-contaminated dust. Some methods generate so much lead-
contaminated dust that their use is prohibited. They are:
• Open-flame burning or torching
• Sanding, grinding, planing, needle gunning, or blasting with
power tools and equipment not equipped with a shroud and
HEPA vacuum attachment and
• Using a heat gun at temperatures greater than 1100°F
• Clean up thoroughly. The work area should be cleaned up daily.
When all the work is done, the area must be cleaned up using special
cleaning methods.
• Dispose of waste properly. Collect and seal waste in a heavy duty
bag or sheeting. When transported, ensure that waste is contained to
prevent release of dust and debris.

epa.gov/getleadsafe, or read The Lead-Safe Certified Guide to
Renovate RFP 8771 Right. Child Care Provider & Tenant for 906 E Stuart Page 47 of 161
Other Sources of Lead
While paint, dust, and soil are the most common sources of lead,
other lead sources also exist:
• Drinking water. Your home might have plumbing with lead or lead
solder. You cannot see, smell, or taste lead, and boiling your water will
not get rid of lead. If you think your plumbing might contain lead:
• Use only cold water for drinking and cooking.
• Run water for 15 to 30 seconds before drinking it, especially if
you have not used your water for a few hours.
Call your local health department or water supplier to find out
about testing your water, or visit epa.gov/lead for EPA’s lead in
drinking water information.
• Lead smelters or other industries that release lead into the air.
• Your job. If you work with lead, you could bring it home on your body
or clothes. Shower and change clothes before coming home. Launder
your work clothes separately from the rest of your family’s clothes.
• Hobbies that use lead, such as making pottery or stained glass,
or refinishing furniture. Call your local health department for
information about hobbies that may use lead.
• Old toys and furniture may have been painted with lead-containing
paint. Older toys and other children’s products may have parts that
contain lead.4
• Food and liquids cooked or stored in lead crystal or lead-glazed
pottery or porcelain may contain lead.
• Folk remedies, such as “greta” and “azarcon,” used to treat an upset
stomach.
4 In 1978, the federal government banned toys, other children’s products, and furniture
with lead-containing paint (16 CFR 1303). In 2008, the federal government banned
lead in most children’s products. The federal government currently bans lead in
excess of 100 ppm by weight in most children’s products (76 FR 44463).

IMPORTANT!
Lead From Paint, Dust, and Soil in and
Around Your Home Can Be Dangerous if
Not Managed Properly
• Children under 6 years old are most at risk for lead
poisoning in your home.
• Lead exposure can harm young children and babies even
before they are born.
• Homes, schools, and child care facilities built before 1978
are likely to contain lead-based paint.
• Even children who seem healthy may have dangerous
levels of lead in their bodies.
• Disturbing surfaces with lead-based paint or removing
lead-based paint improperly can increase the danger to
your family.
• People can get lead into their bodies by breathing or
swallowing lead dust, or by eating soil or paint chips
containing lead.
• People have many options for reducing lead hazards.
Generally, lead-based paint that is in good condition is not
a hazard (see page 10).
