THE PARTIES HERETO ARE:
The City of Tampa, Florida
Hillsborough County, Florida
Hillsborough County Sheriffs Office
Pinellas County, Florida
Pinellas County Sheriffs Office
The City of St. Petersburg, Florida
The City of Clearwater, Florida
WHEREAS, the City of Tampa has been designated as the recipient of a federal grant in an
amount not exceeding $9,220,635 from the FY 2004 Urban Areas Security Initiative II,
administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (D.S.D.H.S.) through the State of
Florida Department of Community Affairs (F.D.C.A.); and
WHEREAS, the grant is intended to improve the responsiveness and effectiveness of law
enforcement, emergency medical services, emergency management, fire service, hazardous
materials teams, public works, public safety communications, healthcare and public health; and
WHEREAS, geographically, the grant is intended to augment services available to citizens of
the greater Tampa Bay metropolitan area to include all of Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties;
and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto will cooperate in a combined effort to achieve a measurable
decrease in the vulnerability of the Tampa Bay area to terrorist attack as well as heightened
ability to respond to such an attack; and
WHEREAS, the federal grant is a reimbursement grant subject to strict limitations and
conditions imposed upon the recipient by both U.S.D.H.S. and the F.D.C.A. as set forth in the
respective grant award and sub grant agreement documents; and
WHEREAS, the undersigned parties agree to strictly abide by the terms and conditions set forth
in the above referenced documents as well as the provisions of this Participating Agency
Subgrant Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants expressed herein the
undersigned parties agree as follows:
1. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the applicable terms
and conditions of the Federally Funded Subgrant Agreement including all exhibits and
attachments thereto, just as if each of the undersigned were the specified "recipient" as
referenced in said agreement. Provided, however, reports and documentation required by
the Federally Funded Sub grant Agreement shall be provided to the City of Tampa rather
than to U.S.D.H.S. or F.D.C.A. All such reports and documentation shall be provided to
Tampa fifteen (15) days in advance of the due date of Tampa's corresponding report to
F.D.C.A.
2. Each party hereto will actively participate in the establishment and ongoing
activities of the Urban Area Working Group including, without limitation, the conduction
of an Urban Area Assessment and the development of an Urban Area Homeland Security
Strategy.
3. The parties hereto understand and agree that the aforementioned federal grant
funds are available primarily on a reimbursement basis for certain qualifying
expenditures which must be in complete conformance with the requirements of the grant
2
and approved in advance by federal grant administrators, the state Department of
Community Affairs and the Urban Area Working Group. Expenditures not in complete
conformance with the foregoing terms will not be reimbursed. In the event a
participating agency other than the City of Tampa will be called upon to prepay specific
identified expenses, a separate agreement will be executed between that agency and the
City of Tampa articulating the details of that transaction. Specific expenditures must be
approved by, and are subject to modification by, the Urban Area Working Group with the
concurrence of state and federal grant administrators.
4. Under no circumstances will the City of Tampa be liable to any party hereto or to
any other person or entity for costs or expenses connected with this Agreement or the
aforementioned grant. Rather, the City of Tampa's sole fmancial obligation to the other
parties hereto will be to promptly disburse federal grant funds actually received by the
City to the appropriate party for reimbursement of specifically approved expenditures.
5. The parties hereto agree to execute additional documents, provide additional
information, and make additional certifications as may reasonably be required in
satisfaction of the parties' obligations under this Agreement and the Federally Funded
Subgrant Agreement.
6. The City of Tampa shall have enforcement rights and remedies to compel the
performance of the parties' obligations hereunder coextensive with the corresponding
rights and remedies retained by the state or federal governments (or agencies thereof)
against the "recipient" specified in the Federally Funded Sub grant Agreement.
7. This Agreement applies to the FY 2004 UASI Grant and to UASI Grants for
succeeding fiscal years subject to modifications of terms contained within the applicable
state or federal Sub grant Agreements. Any party hereto may terminate its participation in
3
this initiative by sending written notice of termination to the Chief of the Tampa Police
Department, provided, however, that the terminating agency must comply with all
contractual obligations incurred through the date of termination including obligations the
performance of which will extend beyond the date of termination.
