This Agreement contains all the terms and conditions agreed upon by the parties.
(5) EXECUTION
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, any one of which may
be taken as an original.
(6) MODIFICATION
Either party may request modification of the provisions of this Agreement. Changes
which are agreed upon shall be valid only when in writing, signed by each of the parties, and attached to
the original of this Agreement. In order for a Project to be eligible for reimbursement, a modification to this

the date of declaration for Permanent Work (Categories C -G), unless terminated earlier in accordance
with the provisions of Paragraph (17) of this Agreement. Consistent with the definition of "period of
performance" contained in 2 C.F.R. §200.77, the term "period of agreement" refers to the time during
which the Sub -Recipient "may incur new obligations to carry out the work authorized under" this
Agreement. In accordance with 2 C.F.R. §200.309, the Sub -Recipient may receive reimbursement under
this Agreement only for "allowable costs incurred during the period of performance." In accordance with
section 215.971(1)(d), Florida Statutes, the Sub -Recipient may expend funds authorized by this
Agreement "only for allowable costs resulting from obligations incurred during" the period of agreement.
(9) FUNDING
a. This is a cost -reimbursement Agreement, subject to the availability of funds.
b. The State of Florida's performance and obligation to pay under this Agreement is
contingent upon an annual appropriation by the Legislature, and subject to any modification in
accordance with either Chapter 216, Florida Statutes, or the Florida Constitution.
c. The Division will reimburse the Sub -Recipient only for allowable costs incurred by the
Sub -Recipient in the successful completion of each deliverable. The maximum reimbursement amount
for each deliverable is outlined in Attachment A of this Agreement ("Budget and Project List"). The
maximum federal reimbursement amount for the entirety of this Agreement is $21,368.21
6
d. As required by 2 C.F.R. §200.415(a), any request for payment under this Agreement
must include a certification, signed by an official who is authorized to legally bind the Sub -Recipient,
which reads as follows: "By signing this report, I certify to the best of my knowledge and belief that the
report is true, complete, and accurate, and the expenditures, disbursements and cash receipts are for the
purposes and objectives set forth in the terms and conditions of the Federal award. I am aware that any
false, fictitious, or fraudulent information, or the omission of any material fact, may subject me to criminal,
civil or administrative penalties for fraud, false statements, false claims or otherwise. (U.S. Code Title 18,
Section 1001 and Title 31, Sections 3729-3730 and 3801-3812)."
e. The Division will review any request for reimbursement by comparing the
documentation provided by the Sub -Recipient in FloridaPA.org against a performance measure, outlined
in Attachment B, Scope of Work, Deliverables, and Financial Consequences, that clearly delineates:
i. The required minimum acceptable level of service to be performed; and,
ii. The criteria for evaluating the successful completion of each deliverable.
f. The performance measure required by section 215.971(1)(b), Florida Statutes,
remains consistent with the requirement for a "performance goal", which is defined in 2 C.F.R. §200.76 as
"a target level of performance expressed as a tangible, measurable objective, against which actual
achievement can be compared." It also remains consistent with the requirement, contained in 2 C.F.R.
§200.301, that the Division and the Sub -Recipient "relate financial data to performance accomplishments
of the Federal award."
g. If authorized by the Federal Awarding Agency, then the Division will reimburse the
Sub -Recipient for overtime expenses in accordance with 2 C.F.R. §200.430 ("Compensation—personal
services") and 2 C.F.R. §200.431 ("Compensation—fringe benefits"). If authorized by the Federal
Awarding Agency, and if the Sub -Recipient seeks reimbursement for overtime expenses for periods when
no work is performed due to vacation, holiday, illness, failure of the employer to provide sufficient work, or
other similar cause (see 29 U.S.C. §207(e)(2)), then the Division will treat the expense as a fringe benefit.
2 C.F.R. §200.431(a) defines fringe benefits as "allowances and services provided by employers to their
employees as compensation in addition to regular salaries and wages." Fringe benefits are allowable
under this Agreement as long as the benefits are reasonable and are required by law, Sub -Recipient -
employee agreement, or an established policy of the Sub -Recipient. 2 C.F.R. §200.431(b) provides that
the cost of fringe benefits in the form of regular compensation paid to employees during periods of
authorized absences from the job, such as for annual leave, family -related leave, sick leave, holidays,
court leave, military leave, administrative leave, and other similar benefits, are allowable if all of the
following criteria are met:
i. They are provided under established written leave policies;
ii. The costs are equitably allocated to all related activities, including Federal
awards; and,
7
iii. The accounting basis (cash or accrual) selected for costing each type of
leave is consistently followed by the non -Federal entity or specified grouping of employees.
h. If authorized by the Federal Awarding Agency, then the Division will reimburse the
Sub -Recipient for travel expenses in accordance with 2 C.F.R. §200.474. As required by the Reference
Guide for State Expenditures, reimbursement for travel must be in accordance with section 112.061,
Florida Statutes, which includes submission of the claim on the approved state travel voucher. If the Sub -
Recipient seeks reimbursement for travel costs that exceed the amounts stated in section 112.061(6)(b),
Florida Statutes ($6 for breakfast, $11 for lunch, and $19 for dinner), then the Sub -Recipient must provide
documentation that:
i. The costs are reasonable and do not exceed charges normally allowed by
the Sub -Recipient in its regular operations as a result of the Sub -Recipient's written travel policy; and,
ii. Participation of the individual in the travel is necessary to the Federal award.
i. The Division's grant manager, as required by section 215.971(2)(c), Florida Statutes,
shall reconcile and verify all funds received against all funds expended during the grant agreement period
and produce a final reconciliation report. The final report must identify any funds paid in excess of the
expenditures incurred by the Sub -Recipient.
j. As defined by 2 C.F.R. §200.53, the term "improper payment" means or includes:
i. Any payment that should not have been made or that was made in an
incorrect amount (including overpayments and underpayments) under statutory, contractual,
administrative, or other legally applicable requirements; and,
ii. Any payment to an ineligible party, any payment for an ineligible good or
service, any duplicate payment, any payment for a good or service not received (except for such
payments where authorized by law), any payment that does not account for credit for applicable
discounts, and any payment where insufficient or lack of documentation prevents a reviewer from
discerning whether a payment was proper.
(10)RECORDS
a. As required by 2 C.F.R. §200.336, the Federal awarding agency, Inspectors General,
the Comptroller General of the United States, and the Division, or any of their authorized representatives,
shall enjoy the right of access to any documents, papers, or other records of the Sub -Recipient which are
pertinent to the Federal award, in order to make audits, examinations, excerpts, and transcripts. The right
of access also includes timely and reasonable access to the Sub -Recipient's personnel for the purpose of
interview and discussion related to such documents. Finally, the right of access is not limited to the
required retention period but lasts as long as the records are retained.
b. As required by 2 C.F.R. §200.331(a)(5), the Division, the Chief Inspector General of
the State of Florida, the Florida Auditor General, or any of their authorized representatives, shall enjoy the
right of access to any documents, financial statements, papers, or other records of the Sub -Recipient
which are pertinent to this Agreement, in order to make audits, examinations, excerpts, and transcripts.
8
The right of access also includes timely and reasonable access to the Sub -Recipient's personnel for the
purpose of interview and discussion related to such documents.
c. As required by Florida Department of State's record retention requirements (Chapter
119, Florida Statutes) and by 2 C.F.R. §200.333, the Sub -Recipient shall retain sufficient records to show
its compliance with the terms of this Agreement, as well as the compliance of aII subcontractors or
consultants paid from funds under this Agreement, for a period of five (5) years from the date of
submission of the final expenditure report. The following are the only exceptions to the five (5) year
requirement:
i. If any litigation, claim, or audit is started before the expiration of the 5 -year
period, then the records must be retained until all litigation, claims, or audit findings involving the records
have been resolved and final action taken.
ii. When the Division or the Sub -Recipient is notified in writing by the Federal
awarding agency, cognizant agency for audit, oversight agency for audit, cognizant agency for indirect
costs, or pass-through entity to extend the retention period.
iii. Records for real property and equipment acquired with Federal funds must
be retained for 5 years after final disposition.
iv. When records are transferred to or maintained by the Federal awarding
agency or pass-through entity, the 5 -year retention requirement is not applicable to the Sub -Recipient.
v. Records for program income transactions after the period of performance. In
some cases recipients must report program income after the period of performance. Where there is such
a requirement, the retention period for the records pertaining to the earning of the program income starts
from the end of the non -Federal entity's fiscal year in which the program income is earned.
vi. Indirect cost rate proposals and cost allocations plans. This paragraph
applies to the following types of documents and their supporting records: indirect cost rate computations
or proposals, cost allocation plans, and any similar accounting computations of the rate at which a
particular group of costs is chargeable (such as computer usage chargeback rates or composite fringe
benefit rates).
d. In accordance with 2 C.F.R. §200.334, the Federal awarding agency must request
transfer of certain records to its custody from the Division or the Sub -Recipient when it determines that
the records possess Tong -term retention value.
e. In accordance with 2 C.F.R. §200.335, the Division must always provide or accept
paper versions of Agreement information to and from the Sub -Recipient upon request. If paper copies
are submitted, then the Division must not require more than an original and two copies. When original
records are electronic and cannot be altered, there is no need to create and retain paper copies. When
original records are paper, electronic versions may be substituted through the use of duplication or other
forms of electronic media provided that they are subject to periodic quality control reviews, provide
reasonable safeguards against alteration, and remain readable.
9
f. As required by 2 C.F.R. §200.303, the Sub -Recipient shall take reasonable measures
to safeguard protected personally identifiable information and other information the Federal awarding
agency or the Division designates as sensitive or the Sub -Recipient considers sensitive consistent with
applicable Federal, state, local, and tribal laws regarding privacy and obligations of confidentiality.
g. Florida's Government in the Sunshine Law (Section 286.011, Florida Statutes)
provides the citizens of Florida with a right of access to governmental proceedings and mandates three,
basic requirements: (1) meetings of public boards or commissions must be open to the public; (2)
reasonable notice of such meetings must be given; and, (3) minutes of the meetings must be taken and
promptly recorded. The mere receipt of public funds by a private entity, standing alone, is insufficient to
bring that entity within the ambit of the open government requirements. However, the Government in the
Sunshine Law applies to private entities that provide services to governmental agencies and that act on
behalf of those agencies in the agencies' performance of their public duties. If a public agency delegates
the performance of its public purpose to a private entity, then, to the extent that private entity is
performing that public purpose, the Government in the Sunshine Law applies. For example, if a volunteer
fire department provides firefighting services to a governmental entity and uses facilities and equipment
purchased with public funds, then the Government in the Sunshine Law applies to board of directors for
that volunteer fire department. Thus, to the extent that the Government in the Sunshine Law applies to
the Sub -Recipient based upon the funds provided under this Agreement, the meetings of the Sub -
Recipient's governing board or the meetings of any subcommittee making recommendations to the
governing board may be subject to open government requirements. These meetings shall be publicly
noticed, open to the public, and the minutes of all the meetings shall be public records, available to the
public in accordance with Chapter 119, Florida Statutes.
h. Florida's Public Records Law provides a right of access to the records of the state
and local governments as well as to private entities acting on their behalf. Unless specifically exempted
from disclosure by the Legislature, all materials made or received by a governmental agency (or a private
entity acting on behalf of such an agency) in conjunction with official business which are used to
perpetuate, communicate, or formalize knowledge qualify as public records subject to public inspection.
The mere receipt of public funds by a private entity, standing alone, is insufficient to bring that entity
within the ambit of the public record requirements. However, when a public entity delegates a public
function to a private entity, the records generated by the private entity's performance of that duty become
public records. Thus, the nature and scope of the services provided by a private entity determine whether
that entity is acting on behalf of a public agency and is therefore subject to the requirements of Florida's
Public Records Law.
i. The Sub -Recipient shall maintain all records for the Sub -Recipient and for all
subcontractors or consultants to be paid from funds provided under this Agreement, including
documentation of all program costs, in a form sufficient to determine compliance with the requirements
10
and objectives of the Budget and Project List — Attachment A, Scope of Work — Attachment B, and all
other applicable laws and regulations.

c. When conducting an audit of the Sub -Recipient's performance under this Agreement,
the Division shall use Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards ("GAGAS"). As defined by 2

auditing standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, which are applicable to
financial audits."
d. If an audit shows that all or any portion of the funds disbursed were not spent in
•
accordance with the conditions of this Agreement, the Sub -Recipient shall be held liable for
reimbursement to the Division of all funds not spent in accordance with these applicable regulations and
Agreement provisions within thirty days after the Division has notified the Sub -Recipient of such non-
compliance.
e. The Sub -Recipient shall have all audits completed by an independent auditor, which
is defined in section 215.97(2)(h), Florida Statutes, as "an independent certified public accountant

applicable provisions noted above. The audit must be received by the Division no later than nine months

Officer or Auditor General. In addition, the Division will monitor the performance and financial
management by the Sub -Recipient throughout the contract term to ensure timely completion of all tasks.
(14)LIABILITY
a. Unless Sub -Recipient is a State agency or subdivision, as defined in section
768.28(2), Florida Statutes, the Sub -Recipient is solely responsible to parties it deals with in carrying out
the terms of this Agreement; as authorized by section 768.28(19), Florida Statutes, Sub -Recipient shall

requirements or in the commodity or service specifications. The Division's review and comments shall not
constitute an approval of the solicitation. Regardless of the Division's review, the Sub -Recipient remains
bound by all applicable laws, regulations, and agreement terms. If during its review the Division identifies
any deficiencies, then the Division shall communicate those deficiencies to the Sub -Recipient as quickly
as possible within the three (3) business day window outlined above. If the Sub -Recipient publishes a

Appendix II to 2 C.F.R. Part 200. Consistent with 2 C.F.R. §200.318(k), the Division will not substitute its
judgment for that of the Sub -Recipient. While the Sub -Recipient does not need the approval of the
Division in order to execute a subcontract, this review may allow the Division to identify deficiencies in the
terms and conditions of the subcontract as well as deficiencies in the procurement process that led to the
subcontract. The Division's review and comments shall not constitute an approval of the subcontract.
Regardless of the Division's review, the Sub -Recipient remains bound by all applicable laws, regulations,
and agreement terms. If during its review the Division identifies any deficiencies, then the Division shall
communicate those deficiencies to the Sub -Recipient as quickly as possible within the three (3) business
day window outlined above. If the Sub -Recipient executes a subcontract after receiving a communication

(30)SUSPENSION AND DEBARMENT
Per 2 C.F.R. 200.213 Suspension and debarment, non -Federal entities are subject to the
non -procurement debarment and suspension regulations implementing Executive Orders 12549 and
12689, 2 C.F.R. part 180. These regulations restrict awards, subawards, and contracts with certain
parties that are debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded from or ineligible for participation in Federal
assistance programs or activities.
If the Sub -Recipient, with the funds authorized by this Agreement, enters into a contract,
then any such contract must include the following provisions:
i. This contract is a covered transaction for purposes of 2 C.F.R.
pt. 180 and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000. As such the contractor is required to
verify that none of the contractor, its principals (defined at 2 C.F.R. §
180.995), or its affiliates (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.905) are excluded
(defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.940) or disqualified (defined at 2 C.F.R. §
180.935).
26
ii. The contractor must comply with 2 C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and
2 C.F.R. pt. 3000, subpart C and must include a requirement to comply
with these regulations in any lower tier covered transaction it enters into.
iii. This certification is a material representation of fact relied upon
by the Division. If it is later determined that the contractor did not comply
with 2 C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000, subpart C, in
addition to remedies available to the Division, the Federal Government
may pursue available remedies, including but not limited to suspension
and/or debarment.
iv. The bidder or proposer agrees to comply with the requirements
of 2 C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000, subpart C while this
offer is valid and throughout the period of any contract that may arise
from this offer. The bidder or proposer further agrees to include a
provision requiring such compliance in its lower tier covered transactions.
(31)BYRD ANTI -LOBBYING AMENDMENT
If the Sub -Recipient, with the funds authorized by this Agreement, enters into a contract,
then any such contract must include the following clause:
Byrd Anti -Lobbying Amendment, 31 U.S.C. § 1352 (as amended).
Contractors who apply or bid for an award of $100,000 or more shall file
the required certification. Each tier certifies to the tier above that it will
not and has not used Federal appropriated funds to pay any person or
organization for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or
employee of any agency, a member of Congress, officer or employee of
Congress, or an employee of a member of Congress in connection with
obtaining any Federal contract, grant, or any other award covered by 31
U.S.C. § 1352. Each tier shall also disclose any lobbying with non -
Federal funds that takes place in connection with obtaining any Federal
award. Such disclosures are forwarded from tier to tier up to the
recipient.
(32)CONTRACTING WITH SMALL AND MINORITY BUSINESSES, WOMEN'S BUSINESS
ENTERPRISES, AND LABOR SURPLUS AREA FIRMS
a. If the Sub -Recipient, with the funds authorized by this Agreement, seeks to procure
goods or services, then, in accordance with 2 C.F.R. §200.321, the Sub -Recipient shall take the following
affirmative steps to assure that minority businesses, women's business enterprises, and labor surplus
area firms are used whenever possible:
i. Placing qualified small and minority businesses and women's business
enterprises on solicitation lists;
ii. Assuring that small and minority businesses, and women's business
enterprises are solicited whenever they are potential sources;
iii. Dividing total requirements, when economically feasible, into smaller tasks or
quantities to permit maximum participation by small and minority businesses, and women's business
enterprises;
27
iv. Establishing delivery schedules, where the requirement permits, which
encourage participation by small and minority businesses, and women's business enterprises;
v. Using the services and assistance, as appropriate, of such organizations as
the Small Business Administration and the Minority Business Development Agency of the Department of
Commerce; and
vi. Requiring the prime contractor, if subcontracts are to be let, to take the
affirmative steps listed in paragraphs i. through v. of this subparagraph.
b. The requirement outlined in subparagraph a. above, sometimes referred to as
"socioeconomic contracting," does not impose an obligation to set aside either the solicitation or award of
a contract to these types of firms. Rather, the requirement only imposes an obligation to carry out and
document the six affirmative steps identified above.
c. The "socioeconomic contracting" requirement outlines the affirmative steps that the
Sub -Recipient must take; the requirements do not preclude the Sub -Recipient from undertaking additional
steps to involve small and minority businesses and women's business enterprises.
d. The requirement to divide total requirements, when economically feasible, into
smaller tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by small and minority businesses, and
women's business enterprises, does not authorize the Sub -Recipient to break a single project down into
smaller components in order to circumvent the micro -purchase or small purchase thresholds so as to
utilize streamlined acquisition procedures (e.g. "project splitting").

SCOPE OF WORK, DELIVERABLES
and FINANCIAL CONSEQUENCES
Scope of Work
Complete eligible Projects for emergency protective measures, debris removal, repair or replacement of
Disaster damaged facilities.
When FEMA has obligated funding for a Sub -Recipient's PW, the Division notifies the Sub -Recipient with
a copy of the PW (or P2 Report). A Sub -Recipient may receive more than one PW and each will contain
a separate Project. Attachment A, Budget and Project List of this Agreement will be modified as
necessary to incorporate new or revised PWs. For the purpose of this Agreement, each Project will
be monitored, completed and reimbursed independently of the other Projects which are made part
of this Agreement.
Deliverables
Large Projects
Reimbursement requests will be submitted separately for each Large Project. Reimbursement for Large
Project costs shall be based on the percentage of completion of the individual Project. Any request for
reimbursement shall provide adequate, well organized and complete source documentation to support all
costs related to the Project, and shall be clearly identified by the Project Number as generated by FEMA.
Requests which do not conform will be returned to the Sub -Recipient prior to acceptance for payment.
Reimbursement up to 95% of the total eligible amount will be paid upon acceptance and contingent upon:
• Timely submission of Quarterly Reports (due 30 days after end of each quarter).
• Timely submission of invoices (Requests for Reimbursement) at least quarterly and supported by
documentation for all costs of the project or services. The final invoice shall be submitted within
sixty (60) days after the expiration of the agreement or completion of the project, whichever
occurs first. An explanation of any circumstances prohibiting the submittal of quarterly invoices
shall be submitted to the Division Grant Manager as part of the Sub -Recipient's quarterly
reporting as referenced in Paragraph 7 of this agreement.
• Timely submission of Request for Final Inspection (within ninety (90) days of project completion —
for each project).
• Sub -Recipient shall include a sworn Affidavit or American Institute of Architects (AIA) forms G702
and G703, as required below.
o A. Affidavit. The Recipient is required to submit an Affidavit signed by the Recipient's
project personnel with each reimbursement request attesting to the following: the
percentage of completion of the work that the reimbursement request represents, that
disbursements or payments were made in accordance with all of the Agreement and
regulatory conditions, and that reimbursement is due and has not been previously
requested.
o B. AIA Forms G702 and G703. For construction projects where an architectural,
engineering or construction management firm provides construction administration
services, the Recipient shall provide a copy of the American Institute of Architects (AIA)
form G702, Application and Certification for Payment, or a comparable form approved by
the Division, signed by the contractor and inspection/certifying architect or engineer, and
a copy of form G703, Continuation Sheet, or a comparable form approved by the
Division.
32
Five percent (5%) of the total eligible amount (including Federal, state and local shares) will be withheld
from payment until the final Request for Reimbursement (or backup for advance expenditure) has been
verified as acceptable by the Division's grant manager, which must include dated certification that the
Project is 100% complete. Further, all required documentation must be available in FloridaPA.org prior to
release of final 5%, to include permits, policies & procedures, procurement and insurance documents.
Small Projects
Small projects will be paid upon obligation of the Project Worksheet. Sub -Recipient must initiate the
Small Project Closeout in FloridaPA.org within 30 days of completion of the project work, or no later than
the period of performance end date. Small Project Closeout is initiated by logging into FloridaPA.org,
selecting the Sub -Recipient's account, then selecting 'Create New Request', and selecting 'New Small
Project Completion/Closeout'. Complete the form and 'Save'. The final action is to Advance the form to
the next queue for review.
Financial Consequences:

DESIGNATION OF AUTHORITY
The Designation of Authority Form is submitted with each new disaster or emergency declaration to
provide the authority for the Sub -Recipient's Primary Agent and Alternate Agent to access the FloridaPA.org
system in order to enter notes, review notes and documents, and submit the documentation necessary to
work the new event. The Designation of Authority Form is originally submitted as Attachment "D" to the PA
Funding Agreement for each disaster or emergency declaration. Subsequently, the Primary or Alternate
contact should review the agency contacts at least quarterly. The Authorized Representative can request
a change in contacts via email to the state team; a note should be entered in FloridaPA.org if the list is
correct. Contacts should be removed as soon as they separate, retire, or are reassigned by the Agency. A
new form will only be needed if all authorized representatives have separated from your agency. Note that
if a new Designation form is submitted, all Agency Representatives currently listed as contacts that are not
included on the updated form will be deleted from FloridaPA.org as the contacts listed are replaced in the
system, not supplemented. All users must log in on a monthly basis to keep their accounts from becoming
locked.
Instructions for Completion
Complete the form in its entirety, listing the name and information for all representatives who will be working
in the FloridaPA.org Grant Management System. Users will be notified via email when they have been
granted access. The user must log in to the FloridaPA.org system within 12 hours of being notified or their
account will lock them out. Each user must log in within a 60 -day time period or their account will lock them
out. In the event you try to log in and your account is locked, submit a ticket using the Access Request Zink
on the home page.
The form is divided into twelve blocks; each block must be completed where appropriate.
Block 1: "Authorized Agent" — This should be the highest authority in your organization who is authorized
to sign legal documents on behalf of your organization. (Only one Authorized Agent is allowed and this
person will have full access/authority unless otherwise requested).
Block 2: "Primary Agent" — This is the person designated by your organization to receive all
correspondence and is our main point of contact. This contact will be responsible for answering questions,
uploading documents, and submitting reports/requests in FloridaPA.org. The Primary Agent is usually not
the Authorized Agent but should be responsible for updating all internal stakeholders on all grant activities.
(Only one Primary Agent is allowed and this contact will have full access).
Block 3: "Alternate Agent" — This is the person designated by your organization to be available when the
Primary is not. (Only one Alternate Agent is allowed and this contact will have full access).
Block 4, 5, and 6: "Other" (Finance/Point of Contact, Risk Management -Insurance, and Environmental -
Historic). Providing these contacts is essential in the coordination and communication required between
state and local subject matter experts. We understand that the same agent may be identified in multiple
blocks, however we ask that you enter the name and information again to ensure we are communicating
with the correct individuals.
Block 7 — 12: "Other" (Read Only Access) — There is no limit on "Other" contacts but we ask that this be
restricted to those that are going to actually need to log in and have a role in reviewing the information.
This designation is only for situational awareness purposes as individuals with the "Other Read -Only"
designation cannot take any action in FloridaPA.org.

requirement by filing a request for an insurance commissioner certification (ICC). The
state's insurance commissioner cannot waive Federal insurance requirements but may
certify the types and extent of insurance reasonable to protect against future loss to an
insurable facility.

Election of Participation in
Public Assistance Alternative Procedures (PAAP) Pilot Program
Should the Sub -Recipient desire to utilize the Public Assistance Alternative Procedures provisions of the
Sandy Recovery Improvement Act (Division B of P.L. 113-2), execution of a Supplemental Funding
Agreement covering specific aspects of the Alternative Procedures Package is required of the Sub -
Recipient prior to the payment of such funds by the State as the Recipient.
Payments processed under the Alternative Procedures provisions will be requested as an advance and
are exempt from advance requirements covered by Section 216.181(16), Florida Statutes. They will,
however, be treated as an advance for purposes of Requests for Reimbursement (RFRs) and satisfaction
of the requirement that ninety percent (90%) of previously advanced funds must be accounted for prior to
receiving a second advance.
In order to elect to participate in the PAAP program for one of the following options, you must read the
Guidance found at https://www.fema.gov/alternative-procedures and then complete the required
documents on the following pages. The documents can be found under the Permanent Work section of

Note: PAAP Pilot Program Guide for Debris Removal (Version 5) published June 28, 2017 contains the
following changes:
The Public Assistance Alternative Procedures Pilot Program for Debris Removal has been extended for
one year to June 27, 2018. As part of the extension, FEMA will only authorize the sliding scale provision
in events with significant debris impacts. The other three provisions available under the Pilot remain
unchanged.
For disasters declared on or after August 28, 2017, FEMA is limiting the usage of the pilot's sliding scale
provision to high impact incidents that meet the following criteria: high concentration of localized damage;
44
large quantities of debris (over $20M or 1.5 million cubic yards); and disasters declared very soon after
the incident (8 days) to incentivize rapid debris removal.
This guide is applicable to disasters declared on or after June 28, 2017. The changes to the sliding scale
provision are applicable to disasters declared on or after August 28, 2017. This version of the pilot
guide supersedes the previous pilot guide for debris removal (V4) which was published June 28, 2016.

PUBLIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAM GUIDANCE
GRANTEE'S/RECIPIENT'S WEB -BASED PROJECT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (FloridaPA.org)
Sub -Recipient s must use the Grantee's/Recipient's web -based project management system,
FloridaPA.org, (available at www.FloridaPA.org) to access and exchange project information with the State
throughout the project's life. This includes processing advances, reimbursement requests, quarterly reports,
final inspection schedules, change requests, time extensions, and other services as identified in the
Agreement. Training on this system will be supplied by the Recipient upon request by the Sub -Recipient.
The Sub -Recipient is required to have working knowledge of the FloridaPA.org system.
PROJECT DOCUMENTATION
The Sub -Recipient must maintain all source documentation supporting the project costs. To facilitate
closeout and audits, the Applicant should file all documentation pertaining to each project with the
corresponding PW as the permanent record of the project. In order to validate Large Project Requests
for Reimbursement (RFRs), all supporting documents should be uploaded to the FloridaPA.org website.
Contact the grant manager with questions about how and where to upload documents, and for assistance
linking common documents that apply to more than one (1) PW.
The Sub -Recipient must retain sufficient records to show its compliance with the terms of this Agreement,
including documentation of all program costs, in a form sufficient to determine compliance with the
requirements and objectives under this Agreement and all other applicable laws and regulations, for a
period of five (5) years from the date of the Sub -Recipient account closeout by FEMA.
The five (5) year period is extended if any litigation, claim or audit is started before the five (5) year period
expires, and extends beyond the five (5) year period. The records must then be retained until all litigation,
claims, or audit findings involving the records have been resolved.
Records for the disposition of non -expendable personal property valued at $5,00000 or more at the time it
is acquired must be retained for five (5) years after final account closeout.
Records relating to the acquisition of real property must be retained for five (5) years after final account
closeout.
INTERIM INSPECTIONS
Interim Inspections may be requested by the Sub -Recipient, on both small and large projects, to:
i. conduct insurance reconciliations;
ii. review an alternate scope of work;
iii. review an improved scope of work; and/or
iv. validate scope of work and/or cost.
Interim Inspections may be scheduled and submitted by the Recipient as a request in FloridaPA.org under
the following conditions:
i. a quarterly report has not been updated between quarters;
ii. the Sub -Recipient is not submitting Requests for Reimbursement (RFR's) in a
timely manner;
49
iii. requests for a Time Extension have been made that exceed the Grantee's/
Recipient's authority to approve; and/or
iv. there are issues or concerns identified by the Recipient that may impact funding
under this agreement.
PROJECT RECONCILIATION AND CLOSEOUT
The purpose of closeout is for the Sub -Recipient to certify that all work has been completed. To ensure a
timely closeout process, the Sub -Recipient should notify the Recipient within sixty (60) days of Project
completion.
The Sub -Recipient should include the following information with its closeout request:
• Certification that project is complete;
• Date of project completion; and
• Copies of any Recipient time extensions.
Large Projects
With exception of Fixed Cost Estimate Subawards, Alternate Projects and Improved Projects where final
costs exceed FEMA's original approval, the final eligible amount for a Large Project is the actual
documented cost of the completed, eligible SOW. Therefore, upon completion of each Large Project that
FEMA obligated based on an estimated amount; the Sub -Recipient should provide the documentation to
support the actual costs. If the actual costs significantly differ from the estimated amount, the Sub -
Recipient should provide an explanation for the significant difference.
FEMA reviews the documentation and, if necessary, obligates additional funds or reduces funding based
on actual costs to complete the eligible SOW. If the project included approved hazard mitigation
measures; FEMA does not re-evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the HMP based on the final actual cost. If
during the review, FEMA determines that the Sub -Recipient performed work that was not included in the
approved SOW, FEMA will designate the project as an Improved Project, cap the funding at the original
estimated amount, and review the additional SOW for EHP compliance.
For Fixed Cost Estimate Subawards, the Applicant must provide documentation to support that it used the
funds in accordance with the eligibility criteria described in the PAPPG Chapter 2:VII.G and guidance
provided at http://www.fema.qov/alternative-procedures.
Once FEMA completes the necessary review and funding adjustments, FEMA closes the project.
Small Projects
Once FEMA obligates a Small Project, FEMA does not adjust the approved amount of an individual Small
Project. This applies even when FEMA obligates the PW based on an estimate and actual costs for
completing the eligible SOW differ from the estimated amount. FEMA only adjusts the approved amount
on individual Small Projects if one of the following conditions applies:
• The Sub -Recipient did not complete the approved SOW;
• The Sub -Recipient requests additional funds related to an eligible change in SOW;
• The PW contains inadvertent errors or omissions; or
• Actual insurance proceeds differ from the amount deducted in the PW.
In these cases, FEMA only adjusts the specific cost items affected.
If none of the above applies, the Sub -Recipient may request additional funding if the total actual cost of aII
of its Small Projects combined exceeds the total amount obligated for all of its Small Projects. In this
case, the Sub -Recipient must request the additional funding through the appeal process, described in the
50
PAPPG Chapter 3:IV.D, within sixty (60) days of completion of its last Small Project. FEMA refers to this
as a net small project overrun appeal. The appeal must include actual cost documentation for all Small
Projects that FEMA originally funded based on estimate amounts.
To ensure that all work has been performed within the scope of work specified on the Project
Worksheets, the Recipient will conduct final inspections on Large Projects, and may, at its sole discretion,
select one or more Small Projects to be inspected. Costs determined to be outside of the approved scope
of work and/or outside of the approved performance period cannot be reimbursed.
TIME EXTENSIONS
FEMA only provides PA funding for work completed and costs incurred within regulatory deadlines. The
deadline for Emergency Work is 6 months from the declaration date. The deadline for Permanent Work is
18 months from the declaration date.

If the Applicant determines it needs additional time to complete the project, including direct administrative
tasks related to the project, it must submit a written request for a time extension to the Recipient with the
following information:
• Documentation substantiating delays beyond its control;
• A detailed justification for the delay;
• Status of the work; and
• The project timeline with the projected completion date
The State (FDEM) has the authority to grant limited time extensions based on extenuating circumstances
or unusual project requirements beyond the control of the Sub -Recipient.
It may extend Emergency Work projects by 6 months and Permanent Work projects by 30 months.
FEMA has authority to extend individual project deadlines beyond these timeframes if extenuating
circumstances justify additional time. This applies to all projects with the exception of those funded under
the PAAP Accelerated Debris Removal procedure and projects for temporary facilities.
With exception of debris removal operations funded under the Accelerated Debris Removal Procedure of
the Alternative Procedures Pilot Program, FEMA generally considers the following to be extenuating
circumstances beyond the Applicant's control:
• Permitting or EHP compliance related delays due to other agencies involved
• Environmental limitations (such as short construction window)
• Inclement weather (site access prohibited or adverse impact on construction)
FEMA generally considers the following to be circumstances within the control of the Applicant and not
justifiable for a time extension:
• Permitting or environmental delays due to Applicant delays in requesting permits
• Lack of funding
• Change in administration or cost accounting system
• Compilation of cost documentation
Although FEMA only provides PA funding for work performed on or before the approved deadline, the
Applicant must still complete the approved SOW for funding to be eligible. FEMA deobligates funding for
any project that the Applicant does not complete. If the Applicant completes a portion of the approved
51
SOW and the completed work is distinct from the uncompleted work, FEMA only deobligates funding for
the uncompleted work. For example, if one project includes funds for three facilities and the Applicant
restores only two of the three facilities, FEMA only deobligates the amount related to the facility that the
Applicant did not restore.
Request should be submitted prior to current approved deadline, be specific to one project, and include
the following information with supporting documentation:
• Dates and provisions of all previous time extensions
• Construction timeline / project schedule in support of requested time
• Basis for time extension request:
o Delay in obtaining permits
• Permitting agencies involved and application dates
o Environmental delays or limitations (e.g., short construction window, nesting seasons)
• Dates of correspondence with various agencies
• Specific details
• Inclement weather (prolonged severe weather conditions prohibited access to the area, or
adversely impacted construction)
o Specific details
• Other reason for delay
o Specific details
Submission of a request does not automatically grant an extension to the period of performance. Without
an approved time extension from the State or FEMA (as applicable), any expenses incurred outside the
P.O.P. are ineligible.
INSURANCE
The Sub -Recipient understands and agrees that disaster funding for insurable facilities provided by FEMA
is intended to supplement, not replace, financial assistance from insurance coverage and/or other sources.
Actual or anticipated insurance proceeds must be deducted from all applicable FEMA Public Assistance
grants in order to avoid a duplication of benefits. The Sub -Recipient further understands and agrees that
If Public Assistance funding is obligated for work that is subsequently determined to be covered by
insurance and/or other sources of funding, FEMA must deobligate the funds per Stafford Act Sections 101
(b)(4) and 312 (c).
As a condition of funding under this Agreement, pursuant to 44 C.F.R. §§ 206.252-253, for damaged
facilities, the Sub -Recipient understands it must, and it agrees to, maintain such types of insurance as are
reasonable and necessary to protect against future loss for the anticipated life of the restorative work or the
insured facility, whichever is lesser. Except that the Recipient acknowledges FEMA does not require
insurance to be obtained and maintained for projects where the total eligible damage is less than $5,000
In addition to the preceding requirements, the Sub -Recipient understands it is required to obtain and
maintain insurance on certain permanent work projects in order to be eligible for Public Assistance funding
in future disasters pursuant to § 311 of the Stafford Act. As stated in the Stafford Act, "Such coverage must
at a minimum be in the amount of the eligible project costs." Further, the Stafford Act, requires a Sub -
Recipient to purchase and maintain insurance, where that insurance is "reasonably available, adequate or
necessary to protect against future loss" to an insurable facility as a condition for receiving disaster
assistance funding. The Public Assistance Program and Policy Guide further states "If the Applicant does
not comply with the requirement to obtain and maintain insurance, FEMA will deny or deobligate
PA funds from the current disaster." If the State Insurance Commissioner certifies that the type and
extent of insurance is not "reasonably available, adequate or necessary to protect against future loss" to an
insurable facility, the Regional Administrator may modify or waive the requirement in conformity with the
certification.
52
The Sub -Recipient understands and agrees it is responsible for being aware of, and complying with, all
insurance considerations contained in the Stafford Act and in 44 C.F.R. §§ 206.252-253.
The Sub -Recipient agrees to notify the Recipient in writing within thirty (30) days of the date it becomes
aware of any insurance coverage for the damage identified on the applicable Project Worksheets and of
any entitlement to compensation or indemnification from such insurance. The Sub -recipient further agrees
to provide all pertinent insurance information, including but not limited to copies of all policies, declarations
pages, insuring agreements, conditions, and exclusions, Statement of Loss, and Statement of Values for
each insured damaged facility.
The Sub -Recipient understands and agrees that it is required to pursue payment under its insurance
policies to the best of its ability to maximize potential coverage available.
DUPLICATION OF BENEFITS
The Sub -Recipient understands it may not receive funding under this Agreement to pay for damage covered
by insurance, nor may the Sub -Recipient receive any other duplicate benefits from any source whatsoever.
The Sub -Recipient agrees to reimburse the Recipient if it receives any duplicate benefits, from any source,
for any damage identified on the applicable Project Worksheets, for which the Sub -Recipient has received
payment from the Recipient.
The Sub -Recipient agrees to notify the Recipient in writing within thirty (30) days of the date it becomes
aware of the possible availability of, applies for, or receives funds, regardless of the source, which could
reasonably be considered as duplicate benefits.
In the event the Recipient determines the Sub -Recipient has received duplicate benefits, the Sub -Recipient
gives the Grantee/ Recipient and/or the Chief Financial Officer of the State of Florida, the express authority
to offset the amount of any such duplicate benefits by withholding them from any other funds otherwise due
and payable to the Sub -Recipient, and to use such remedies as may be available administratively, at law,
or at equity, to recover such benefits.
COMPLIANCE WITH PLANNING/PERMITTING REGULATIONS AND LAWS
The Sub -Recipient is responsible for the implementation and completion of the approved projects described
in the Project Worksheets in a manner acceptable to Recipient, and in accordance with applicable Local,
State, and Federal legal requirements.
If applicable, the contract documents for any project undertaken by the Sub-grantee/Sub-Recipient, and
any land use permitted by or engaged in by the Sub-grantee/Sub-Recipient, must be consistent with the
local government comprehensive plan.
The Sub -Recipient must ensure that any development or development order complies with all applicable
planning, permitting, and building requirements including, but not limited to, the National Environmental
Policy Act and the National Historic Preservation Act.
The Sub -Recipient must engage such competent, properly licensed, engineering, environmental,
archeological, building, and other technical and professional assistance at all project sites as may be
needed to ensure that the project complies with the contract documents.
FUNDING FOR LARGE PROJECTS
Although Large project payment must be based on documented actual costs, most Large Projects are
initially approved based on estimated costs. Funds are made available to the Sub -Recipient when work is
in progress and funds have been expended with documentation of costs available. When all work
associated with the project is complete, the State will perform a reconciliation of actual costs and will
transmit the information to FEMA for its consideration for final funding adjustments (See Closeouts).
53
The submission from the Sub -Recipient requesting this reimbursement must include:
a) a Request for Reimbursement (available in FloridaPA.org);
b) a Summary of Documentation (SOD) which is titled Reimbursement Detail Report in
FloridaPA.org and is automatically created when the Request for Reimbursement is submitted
(and is supported by copies of original documents such as, but not limited to, contract
documents, insurance policies, payroll records, daily work logs, invoices, purchase orders, and
change orders); and
c) the FDEM Cost Claim Summary Workbook (found in the Forms section of FloridaPA.org), along
with copies of original documents such as contract documents, invoices, change orders,
canceled checks (or other proof of expenditure), purchase orders, etc.
ADVANCES
Payments under the Public Assistance Alternative Procedures Program (PAAP) are paid as an Advance
Payment. Notwithstanding Paragraph 9) Funding, in the Agreement, these payments are not bound by
Section 216.181(16), Florida Statutes.
1. For a Federally funded contract, any advance payment is also subject to 2 C.F.R., Federal OMB
Circulars A-87, A-110, A-122, and the Cash Management Improvement Act of 1990.
2. All advances must be held in an interest-bearing account with the interest being remitted to the
Recipient as often as practicable, but not later than ten (10) business days after the close of each calendar
quarter.
3. In order to prepare a Request for Advance (RFA) the Sub -Recipient must certify to the Recipient
that it has procedures in place to ensure that funds are disbursed to project vendors, contractors, and
subcontractors without unnecessary delay. The Sub -Recipient must prepare and submit a budget that
contains a timeline projecting future payment schedules through project completion.
4. A separate RFA must be completed for each Project Worksheet to be included in the Advance
Funding Payment.
5. The Sub -Recipient must complete a Request for Reimbursement (RFR) via FloridaPA.org no more
than ninety (90) days after receiving its Advance Payment for a specific project. The RFR must account
for all expenditures incurred while performing eligible work documented in the applicable Project
Worksheet for which the Advance was received.
6. If a reimbursement has been paid prior to the submittal of a request for an advance payment, an
Advance cannot be accepted for processing.
7. The Recipient may advance funds to the Sub -Recipient, not exceeding the Federal share, only if
the Sub -Recipient meets the following conditions:
a) the Sub -Recipient must certify to the Recipient that Sub -Recipient has procedures in place to
ensure that funds are disbursed to project vendors, contractors, and subcontractors without
unnecessary delay;
b) the Sub -Recipient must submit to the Recipient the budget supporting the request.
8. The Sub -Recipient must submit a statement justifying the advance and the proposed use of the
funds, which also specifies the amount of funds requested and certifies that the advanced funds will be
expended no more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the Advance;
9. The Recipient may, in its sole discretion, withhold a portion of the Federal and/or nonfederal share
of funding under this Agreement from the Sub -Recipient if the Recipient reasonably expects that the Sub-
54
Recipient cannot meet the projected budgeted timeline or that there may be a subsequent determination
by FEMA that a previous disbursement of funds under this or any other Agreement with the Sub -Recipient
was improper.
DESIGNATION OF AGENT
The Sub -Recipient must complete Attachment D by designating at least three agents to execute any
Requests for Advance or Reimbursement, certifications, or other necessary documentation on behalf of the
Sub -Recipient.
After execution of this Agreement, the authorized, primary, and secondary Agent may request changes to
contacts via email to the State assigned team.
In the event the Sub -Recipient contacts have not been updated regularly and all three (3) Agents have
separated from the Sub -Recipient's agency, a designation of authority form will be needed to change
contacts.
NOTE: This is very important because if contacts are not updated, notifications made from
FloridaPA.org may not be received and could result in failure to meet time periods to appeal a
Federal determination.
DUNS Q&A
What is a DUNS number?
The Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number is a unique nine -digit identification number
provided by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B). The DUNS number is site specific. Therefore, each distinct physical
location of an entity such as branches, divisions and headquarters, may be assigned a DUNS number.
Who needs a DUNS number?
Any institution that wants to submit a grant application to the Federal government. Individual researchers
do not need a DUNS number if they are submitting their application through a research organization.
How do I get a DUNS number?
Dun & Bradstreet have designated a special phone number for Federal grant and cooperative agreement
applicants/prospective applicants. Call the number below between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., local time in the 48
contiguous states and speak to a D&B representative. This process will take approximately 5 — 10
minutes and you will receive your DUNS number at the conclusion of the call.
1-866-705-5711
What do I need before I request a DUNS number?
Before you call D&B, you will need the following pieces of information:
• Legal Name
• Headquarters name and address for your organization
• Doing business as (dba) or other name by which your organization is commonly recognized
• Physical address
• Mailing address (if separate from headquarters and/or physical address)
• Telephone number
• Contact name and title
• Number of employees at your physical location
How much does a DUNS number cost?
There is no charge to obtain a DUNS number.
Why does my institution need a DUNS number?
55
New regulations taking affect Oct. 1, 2003 mandate that a DUNS number be provided on all Federal grant
and cooperative agreement applications. The DUNS number will offer a way for the Federal government
to better match information across all agencies.
How do I see if my institution already has a DUNS number?
Call the toll free number above and indicate that you are a Federal grant and/or cooperative agreement
applicant. D&B will tell you if your organization already has a number assigned. If not, they will ask if you
wish to obtain one.
Should we use the +4 extension to the DUNS number?
Although D&B provides the ability to use a 4 -digit extension to the DUNS number, neither D&B nor the
Federal government assign any importance to the extension. Benefits, if any, derived from the extension
will be at your institution only.
Is there anything special that we should do for multi -campus systems?
Multi -campus systems can use what is called a parent DUNS number to aggregate information for the
system as a whole. The main campus will need to be assigned a DUNS number. Then each satellite
campus will need to reference the main campus DUNS number as their parent DUNS when obtaining
their own DUNS number. For NIH grantees, if each campus submits grant applications as a unique
grantee organization, then each campus needs to obtain their own DUNS number.
Does the DUNS number need to be included on individual fellowship applications?
Yes with one exception. It is the DUNS number of the sponsoring institution that should be put on the
application. Individual Kirschstein-NRSA fellowships that propose training at Federal laboratories do not
require a DUNS number.
What does the DUNS number have to do with the Central Contractor Registry (CCR), soon to be the
Business Partner Network (BPN)?
Registration in the CCR is mandatory for anyone wishing to submit a grant application electronically
through Grants.gov. Your organization will need a DUNS number in order to register in the CCR. The
CCR is the central registry for organizations that have received Federal contracts. If your organization has
received Federal contracts, it is already registered in the CCR, but this is a good opportunity to verify that
your organization information is up to date. For more information about the CCR, please visit the CCR
web site at: www.ccr.gov.
What should we do if our institution has more than 1 DUNS number?
Your institution will need to decide which DUNS number to use for grant application purposes and use
only that number.
Does this apply to non -US organizations?
Yes, this new requirement applies to all types of grantee organizations including foreign, non-profit, for
profit as well as for state and Federal government agencies.
Does this apply to non -competing progress reports?
No. This new requirement applies only to competing applications.
Are there any exceptions to the new DUNS number rules?
Individuals who would personally receive a grant or cooperative agreement award from the Federal
government apart from any business or non-profit organization they may operate are exempt from this
requirement. Also individual Kirschstein-NRSA fellowships that propose training at Federal laboratories
do not require a DUNS number.
Who at my institution is responsible for requesting a DUNS number?
56
This will vary from institution to institution. This should be done by someone knowledgeable about the
entire structure of your institution and who has the authority to make such decisions. Typically this
request would come from the finance/accounting department or some other department that conducts
business with a large cross section of the institution.
We are an organization new to Federal grant funding so we obviously need a DUNS number. But we
don't want to be included in any marketing list. What can we do?
Inclusion on a D&B marketing list is optional. If you do not want your name/organization included on this
marketing list, request to be de -listed from D&B's marketing file when you are speaking with a D&B
representative during your DUNS number telephone application.
Who do we contact if we have questions?
If you have questions about applying for a DUNS number, contact the Dun & Bradstreet special phone
number 1-866-705-5771. If you have questions concerning this new Federal -wide requirement, contact
Sandra Swab, Office of Federal Financial Management, 202-395-3993 or via e-mail at
sswabomb.eop.qov.
Substitute Form W-9
For the purpose of this Agreement, a Sub -Recipient is also a Vendor.
The State of Florida requires vendors doing business with the State to submit a Substitute Form W-9. The
purpose of a Form W-9 is to provide a Federal Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), official entity name,
a business designation (sole proprietorship, corporation, partnership, etc.), and other taxpayer information
to the State. Submission of a Form W-9 ensures that the State's vendor records and Form 1099 reporting
are accurate. Due to specific State of Florida requirements, the State will not accept the Internal Revenue
Service Form W-9.
Effective March 5, 2012, State of Florida agencies will not be permitted to place orders for goods and
services or make payments to any vendor that does not have a verified Substitute W-9 on file with
the Department of Financial Services. Vendors are required to register and submit a Form W-9 on the
State's Vendor Website at https:/Iftvendor.mvfioridacfo.com.

FEDERAL FUNDING ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY ACT (FFATA)
INSTRUCTIONS AND WORKSHEET
PURPOSE: The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) was signed on
September 26, 2006. The intent of this legislation is to empower every American with the ability to hold
the government accountable for each spending decision. The FFATA legislation requires information on
Federal awards (Federal assistance and expenditures) be made available to the public via a single,
searchable website, which is http://www.usaspending.gov/.
The FFATA Sub -award Reporting System (FSRS) is the reporting tool the Florida Division of Emergency
Management ("FDEM" or "Division") must use to capture and report sub -award and executive
compensation data regarding first-tier sub -awards that obligate $30,000 or more in Federal funds
(excluding Recovery funds as defined in section 1512(a) (2) of the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009, Pub. L. 111-5).
Note: This "Instructions and Worksheet" is meant to explain the requirements of the FFATA and give
clarity to the FFATA Form distributed to sub-awardees for completion. All pertinent information below
should be filled out, signed, and returned to the project manager.
ORGANIZATION AND PROJECT INFORMATION
The following information must be provided to the FDEM prior to the FDEM's issuance of a sub -
award (Agreement) that obligates $30,000 or more in Federal funds as described above. Please

Attachment 1
Mandatory Contract Provisions
Provisions:
Any contract or subcontract funded by this Agreement must contain the applicable provisions outlined in
Appendix 11 to 2 CFR Part 200. It is the responsibility of the sub -recipient to include the required
provisions. The Division provides the following list of sample provisions that may be required:
61
P1. 200, App. II
agency's Federal awards may include. Pro-
viding this information lets a potential ap-
plicant identify any requirements with
which it would have difficulty complying if
its application is successful. In those cases,
early notification about the requirements al-
lows the potential applicant to decide not to
apply or to take needed actions before re-
ceiving the Federal award. The announce-
ment need not include all of the terms and
conditions of the Federal award, but may
refer to a document (with information about
how to obtain it) or Internet site where ap-
plicants can see the terns and conditions. If
this funding opportunity will lead to Federal
awards with some special terms and condi-
tions that differ from the Federal awarding
agency's usual (sometimes called "general")
terms and conditions, this section should
highlight those special terms and conditions.
Doing so will alert applicants that have re-
ceived Federal awards from the Federal
awarding agency previously and might not
otherwise expect different terns and condi-
tions. For the same reason, the announce-
ment should inform potential applicants
about special requirements that could apply
to particular Federal awards after the review
of applications and other information, based
on the particular circumstances of the effort
to be supported (e.g., if human subjects were
to be involved or if some situations may jus-
tify special terms on intellectual property,
data sharing or security requirements).
3. Reporting—Required. This section must
include general information about the type
(e.g., financial or performance), frequency,
and means of submission (paper or elec-
tronic) of post -Federal award reporting re-
quirements. Highlight any special reporting
requirements for Federal awards under this
funding opportunity that differ (e.g., by re-
port type, frequency, form'format, or cir-
cumstances for use) from what the Federal
awarding agency's Federal awards usually
require. Federal awarding agencies must also
describe in this section all relevant require-
ments such as those at 2 CFR 180.335 and 2
CFR 180.350.
If the Federal share of any Federal award
may include more than 3500,000 over the pe-
riod of performance, this section must in-
form potential applicants about the post
award reporting requirements reflected in
AppendLx XII—Award Term and Condition
for Recipient Integrity and Performance
Matters.
G. FEDERAL AWARDING AGENCY CONTACT(S)
REQUIRED
The announcement mast give potential ap-
plicants a point(s) of contact for answering
questions or helping with problems while the
funding opportunity is open. The intent of
this requirement is to be as helpful as pos-
sible to potential applicants, so the Federal
2 CFR Ch. II (1-1-17 Edition)
awarding agency should consider approaches
such as giving:
i, Points of contact who may be reached in
multiple ways (e.g., by telephone, FAX, and/
or email, as well as regular mail).
11. A fax or email address that multiple
people access, so that someone will respond
even if others are unexpectedly absent dur-
ing critical periods.
iii. Different contacts for distinct kinds of
help (e.g., one for questions of programmatic
content and a second for administrative
questions).
H. OTHER INFORMATION—OPTIONAL
This section may include any additional
information that will assist a potential ap-
plicant. For example, the section might:
i. Indicate whether this is a new Irogram
or a one-time initiative.
ii. Mention related programs or other up-
coming or ongoing Federal awarding agency
funding opportunities for similar activities.
i11. Include current Internet addresses for
Federal awarding agency Web sites that may
be useful to an applicant in understanding
the program.
iv. Alert applicants to the need to identify
proprietary information and inform them
about the way the Federal awarding agency
will handle it.
v. Include certain routine notices to appli-
cants (e.g., that the Federal Government is
not obligated to make any Federal award as
a result of the announcement or that only
grants officers can bind the Federal Govern-
ment to the expenditure of funds).

DHS OIG AUDIT ISSUES and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) was tasked by
Congress to audit all FEMA projects for fiscal year 2014. A synopsis of those findings are listed
below:
There have been 32 separate instances where Grantees/Recipients or Sub -Recipients did not follow the
prescribed rules to the point that the OIG believed the below listed violations could have nullified the
FEMA/State agreement.
1. Non Competitive contracting practices.
2. Failure to include required contract provisions.
3. Failure to employ the required procedures to ensure that small, minority, and women's owned firms
were all given fair consideration.
4. Improper "cost -plus -a -percentage -of -cost" contracting practices.
The following information comes directly from DHS's OIG Audit Tips for Managing Disaster Related
Project Costs; Report Number OIG -16-109-D dated July 1, 2016. The following may be reasons for
the disallowance or total de -obligation of funding given under the FEMA/State agreement:
1. Use of improper contracting practices.
2. Unsupported costs.
3. Poor project accounting.
4. Duplication of benefits.
5. Excessive equipment charges (applicability may vary with hazard mitigation projects).
6. Excessive labor and fringe benefit charges.
7. Unrelated project costs.
8. Direct Administrative Costs.
9. Failure to meet the requirement to obtain and maintain insurance.
Key Points that must be followed when Administering FEMA Grants:
• Designate one person to coordinate the accumulation of records.
• Establish a separate and distinct account for recording revenue and expenditures, and a separate
identifier for each specific FEMA project.
• Ensure that the final claim for each project is supported by amounts recorded in the accounting
system.
• Ensure that each expenditure is recorded in the accounting books and references supporting
sources of documentation (checks, invoices, etc.) that can be readily retrieved.
65
• Research insurance coverage and seek reimbursement for the maximum amount. Credit the
appropriate FEMA project with that amount.
• Check with your Federal Grant Program Coordinator about availability of funding under other
Federal programs (Federal Highways, Housing and Urban Development, etc.) and ensure that the
final project claim does not include costs that another Federal agency funded or could have funded.
• Ensure that materials taken from existing inventories for use on FEMA projects are documented by
inventory withdrawal and usage records.
• Ensure that expenditures claimed under the FEMA project are reasonable, necessary, directly
benefit the project, and are authorized under the "Scope of Work."
I acknowledge that I have received a copy of, and have been briefed on, the above DHS OIG Audit Issues.
