ARTICLE III — GRANT ADMINISTRATION
SECTION 1. FUNDING ALLOCATION ADMINISTRATION & REIMBURSEMENT
POLICY
A) Grant Agreement or Interlocal Agreement
1) As a condition of award of a Funding Cycle Allocation, the County and the Recipient shall
enter into a Grant Agreement or an Interlocal Agreement, as the case may be, which sets
forth the responsibilities and duties of each regarding administration of the approved
Project and approved Funding Cycle Allocation.
2) The Grant Agreement or the Interlocal Agreement, as the case may be, shall specify the
following and shall incorporate such other terms and conditions as may be required by
particular circumstances:
a) A Project Narrative/Description of Project, including location of Project, and
beginning and end dates;
b) An overall budget for the final Project, identifying additional sources of revenue;
c) A Funding Cycle Allocation and Funding Allocation line item budget (proposed use
of BBC GOB funds);
d) If the Recipient is a Community -Based Organization or other entity (not a
Municipality or Public Agency), a letter of commitment of matching funds validly
executed committing the organization to raise any additional capital funds necessary to
complete the Project, and committing to provide operating, maintenance and programming
funds upon completion of the Project, all as authorized and approved by the Recipient's
Board of Directors or governing entity;
e) If the Recipient is a Municipality or Public Agency, a letter of commitment of
matching funds validly executed committing the organization to appropriate capital funds
necessary to complete the Project and to provide operating, maintenance and programming
funds upon completion of the Project, all as authorized and approved by the governing
board of such Municipality or Public Agency;
f) Certification of ownership, or evidence of lease or other use agreement for a minimum
un-expired term of 25 years;
g) Business plan and/or operating pro -forma, defining and identifying strategies to
address the impact the Project will have on the organization's operational structure; and
h) A list of consultants that will be involved in the development of the Project (e.g.,
Owner's project manager(s), Architecture and Engineering team, Specialty Consultants,
Developers, General Contractor or Construction Manager, etc.) as they become available.
B) Pre -Agreement Expenses. The incurring of Pre -Agreement Expenses by a Recipient creates no
obligation on the County to execute a Grant Agreement or Interlocal Agreement, as the case may
be, or otherwise satisfy those expenses. However, prior to the effective date of the Grant
Agreement or Interlocal Agreement, as the case may be, a Recipient may incur eligible Pre -
Agreement Expenses and then after the effective date of the Grant Agreement or Interlocal
Agreement, as the case may be, be reimbursed for those costs, provided that:
1) The costs and activities are funded as part of the Funding Allocation award and are in
compliance with the requirements of the Ordinance and these rules.
Building Better Communities Administrative Rules Rev. 08/2017
15 of 27
DocuSign Envelope ID: 839193A0-2774-4F4D-ACF9-2756288B824C
2) For those Projects funded by bond proceeds from bond sales subsequent to the sale of the
Series 2005 Bonds, reimbursement of Pre -Agreement Expenses is limited to those Pre -
Agreement Expenses incurred one (1) year prior to the first day of the Application Submission
Period, unless previously approved by the Board. Pre -Agreement Expenses in the case of
Economic Development Fund projects are limited to those Pre -Agreement Expenses incurred
one (1) year prior to the application for an Economic Development Fund award.
3) The Recipient has notified the County Mayor or the County Mayor's designee in writing of
the intent to submit eligible Pre -Agreement expenses for reimbursement within 30-days of a
Grant Agreement or Interlocal Agreement being executed. Recipients shall send a letter
addressed to the County Mayor or the County Mayor's designee for review and approval of
eligible expenses.
C) Payment. Recipients are paid allocated funds subject to the following conditions:
1 BBC GOB Program Administration. Not more than one percent (1%) of the value of each
Funding Allocation award may be earmarked for all costs incidental to the administration of
the BBC GOB Program.
2 Timing. With the exception of eligible Pre -Agreement Expenses, Project costs eligible for
reimbursement shall be incurred between the effective date of, and the Project completion
date identified in, the Grant Agreement or the Interlocal Agreement, as the case may be.
3) Soft Cost Limits. Project Soft Costs for Planning Services, Design Services and Project
Administration, as defined in Article 1, Section 4, "Soft Costs", are eligible for funding
provided that bond proceeds utilized to pay for such costs do not exceed seventeen percent
(17%) of the total bond proceeds allocated to a given Project. This limitation may be waived
by the Board. Where a major Project is funded in phases, this cost limit may not necessarily
apply to each individual Project phase, but must apply to the Funding Allocation for the
Proj ect.
In order for GOB project to effectively comply with the Sustainable Building Ordinance
(Ordinance 07-65), the amount eligible for reimbursement for project soft costs will be
increased from 17% to 20% to accommodate both the costs of green building design,
commissioning and pre -certification services in accordance with the Sustainable Buildings
Ordinance and Implementing Order 8-8. For those projects where it is not practical to attain
certification, design services can be employed to implement design interventions that on the
average will result in an estimated payback of up to 10 years. Typical categories of payback
include, but are not limited to, energy efficiency, water efficiency, productivity and
operations, and maintenance.
4) Recipients will implement their own procurement process; however, they shall comply with
all applicable Federal, State and local laws and regulations, including the County ordinances
and regulations.
5) Recipients are responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of Funding Cycle
Allocation supported activities, and maintaining communications with the County Mayor or
the County Mayor's designee regarding the Project. Recipients must monitor Funding Cycle
Allocation supported activities to assure compliance with the Ordinance, these rules, the Grant

Agreement or Interlocal Agreement, as the case may be, and all applicable Federal, State and
local requirements.
6) Payments to the Recipient may be withheld at any time that the Recipient fails to comply with
the terms of the Grant Agreement or the Interlocal Agreement, as the case may be. Funds
withheld for failure to comply with the terms of the Grant Agreement or the Interlocal
Agreement, as the case may be, but without suspension of the Funding Cycle Allocation shall
be released to the Recipient upon subsequent compliance. Recipients will not be required to
reimburse the County for payments already received by the County unless the Recipient fails
to acquire, purchase, construct, develop and/or operate the Project for the purpose described
in the Funding Application Package or is otherwise in default under the Grant Agreement or
Interlocal Agreement.
7) Recipients must complete the authorized signature form (Exhibit A).
8) a. In general, payment shall be made on a reimbursement basis. A Funding Cycle Allocation

may receive an advance payment no more than 180 days in advance of the allocation
schedule approved by the Board, for up to 25% of the value of the Funding Allocation for
the subject Project.
b. However, in accordance with the guidelines reflected below, the County Mayor or the
County Mayor's designee may, on a case -by -case basis and at his sole discretion, consider
advance payment of up to 90% of a Municipality's Funding Allocation for a specific
project. Upon the decision by the County Mayor or the County Mayor's designee that a
request for advance payment of up to 90% of a Municipality's Funding Allocation for a
specific Project will be considered, the guidelines below will be applied consistently and
in their entirety.
Conditions under which a Municipality may receive up to 90% of its Funding Allocation
for a subject Project:
• A Municipality must not owe money to the County and the County must not have any
outstanding claims against the Municipality;

construction; and
• Follow-up field audit inspections will be performed by OMB to ensure Project
completion.
OMB will submit a written recommendation to the County Mayor or County Mayor's
designee to approve any disbursement under these provisions. The Municipalities will be
required to execute a supplemental agreement acknowledging these terms.
Safeguards/Corrective Actions to be implemented by the County in case of non-
compliance by a Municipality with the BBC -GOB Program Administrative Rules or if
satisfactory progress is not being maintained will include:
• Funding for municipal or other GOB -funded Project to be performed by the subject
Municipality will be withheld;

up to and including litigation.
The aforementioned safeguards will be implemented by the County in Cases of non-
compliance. All conditions shall be a part of all Interlocal Agreements with a
Municipality. All existing Interlocal Agreements will be amended to include the
provisions referenced above and all new Interlocal Agreements will likewise include these
provisions.
Any disbursement of funds under these provisions will be reported to the Board.
c. All advance payments received by a Recipient shall be maintained in a separate interest
bearing account and may not be commingled with other funds. All advances and interest

9) Recipients must submit reimbursement/payment requests no later than quarterly. If a
Recipient is unable to submit a reimbursement/payment request by the quarterly deadline, a
written justification indicating the reason for the delay and expected submission date is
required to be submitted by the deadline. Failure to comply with this requirement shall render
the Recipient in non-compliance with the Administrative Rules and may result in reduction or
forfeiture of payment, at the discretion of the County Mayor or the County Mayor's designee.
Failure to submit two consecutive requests shall be deemed a forfeiture of all rights unless
specifically waived by the County Mayor or the County Mayor's designee. The Recipient

Project. In the event that the negotiated acquisition price exceeds by ten percent or greater
the appraised value of the land, the disbursement of Funding Allocation shall be conditioned
upon a written justification for the purchase price and other conditions attendant to the
proposed purchase, which justification is declared satisfactory by the Board in writing.
Appraisal costs are eligible Funding Allocation costs as long as the appraised property is being
realistically and seriously considered for Acquisition, regardless of the outcome.
3) Environmental Survey. The Recipient may not acquire land for a BBC GOB Program funded
Project until a Phase I environmental survey is completed, which demonstrates that the
property is suitable for its intended general use and for the specific Project. GOB funds may
be used for the necessary clean-up a Phase II environmental survey may require provided the
scope of the Project is not impacted. Changes to the scope of the Project require BCC
approval.

recognized business entity.
E) Development Projects. Guidelines and requirements for administering Development Project
Funding Allocations are as follows:
1) Licensed Contractors; Contractor Bonds. Duly licensed contractors shall perform all
construction. Construction contracts for work in excess of the threshold amounts established
in Section 255.20 of the Florida Statutes shall require payment and performance bonds, which
comply with the requirements of Section 255.05, Florida Statutes, to the extent applicable.

equipment available, then the Recipient may rent such equipment.
b) Construction Supplies and Materials. Supplies and materials may be purchased for a
specific Project or may be drawn from a central stock, providing they are claimed at a cost
no higher than that which the Recipient paid. When supplies and/or materials are
purchased with the intention of constructing a piece of equipment, structure or part of a

to the Recipient's normal practice or policy. If capitalized, only the cost reasonably
attributable to the Project may be claimed under the Project.
c) Personnel or Employee Services. Services of the Recipient's employees who perform
work directly related to the accomplishment of the Project are eligible costs payable from

sick leave, FICA, MICA, health and life insurance, and workers compensation at the
Recipient's established fringe benefit rate. Costs charged to the Project must be computed
on the basis of actual time spent on the Project, and supported by time and attendance
records describing the work performed on the Project. Overtime costs may be allowed
under the Recipient's established policy, provided that the regular work time was devoted
to the same Project. Salaries and wages claimed for employees working on allocation -
funded Projects must not exceed the Recipient's established rates for similar positions or
rates per industry standards. Alternative methodologies for established wage rates must
be pre -approved by the Board.
d) Consultant Services. The costs of consultant services necessary for the Project are eligible

4) The following is a nonexclusive list of costs ineligible for payment from the Funding
Allocation:
a) Funding Application costs.
b) Ceremonial expenses.
c) Expenses for publicity.
d) Bonus payments unless specifically authorized by the Board.
e) Charges in excess of the lowest responsive and responsible bid or proposal in accordance
with the governing rules and procedures of the Recipient, when the law requires the
Recipient to utilize competitive selection. In the event a selection process is used, other
than a low bid process any cost in excess of the cost of the highest ranked firm shall be
considered ineligible.
f) Charges for deficits or overdrafts.
g) Charges incurred contrary to the policies and practices of the Recipient.
h) Interest expense (May be reimbursed at the discretion of the Board if incurred during the
construction period and is attributable only to the construction period).

DocuSign Envelope ID: 839193A0-2774-4F4D-ACF9-2756288B824C
2) Budget adjustments may not exceed the 17% Soft Cost limitation for design, planning, and
program administration, with the exception of those projects meeting the Sustainable Building
Ordinance, nor exceed the Project Funding Allocation without approval of the Board.
3) Recipients shall obtain the prior written approval of the Board whenever budget adjustments
are anticipated as outlined in a, b, and c below. The request must be in the same budget format
the Recipient used in the Grant Agreement or Interlocal Agreement, as the case may be, and
shall be accompanied by a narrative justification for the proposed revision. Such request for
adjustment shall, if approved, amend the Grant Agreement or Interlocal Agreement, as the
case may be. Requests for budget changes shall be considered whenever any of the following
adjustments are required:
a) For any Project involving both Acquisition and Development activities, any proposed
budget transfers from Development to Acquisition.
b) Any proposed reduction or revision of the scope or objectives of the Project (regardless of
whether there is an associated budget adjustment) that substantially changes the original
intent of a project.
c) Any change that would increase Soft Costs for planning, design, and project
administration which exceeds the limit specified in Article III, Section 3 (c)(1).
In the event that a Recipient has completed the approved scope of work for a Project and has
unexpended funds, the Recipient may submit a request to the Office of Management and Budget
to expend these funds in an existing or new budget line item for the Project. The County Mayor
or the County Mayor's designee is authorized to approve such budget changes and expenses not
to exceed 15% of the total budget.
G) Cost Overruns. The Recipient shall fund all cost overruns. During the execution of work on a
Project, the Recipient may find that actual Project costs exceed the approved budget. For cost
overruns that will require additional funding for the Project, or otherwise require a budget
adjustment for which prior Board approval is required pursuant to paragraph E above, the
Recipient shall:
1) Provide a justification for the additional costs;
2) Identify available funds for the completion of the Project; and, if necessary
3) Request from the Board a change or revision in the Project scope consistent with the terms of
the Ordinance and the Authorizing Resolutions.
The Board, at its discretion, may authorize in writing a change or revision in the scope of the Project:
(i) where change or revision of the scope is consistent with the Ordinance; and (ii) where the change
or revision is justified by the Recipient; and (iii) where the Recipient does not have sufficient funds
to complete the Project with the available funds. Under those circumstances, the Board, in its sole
discretion, may identify other funds available under the Ordinance for the Project.
SECTION 2. COMPLIANCE RESPONSIBILITIES

23 of 27
DocuSign Envelope ID: 839193A0-2774-4F4D-ACF9-2756288B824C
The following constitute general requirements for program compliance:
A) An annual independent audit of the Building Better Communities General Obligation Bond funds
must be submitted by all Recipients to the Office of Management and Budget no later than six
months after the close of the Recipient's fiscal year for which a Funding Allocation was received
and each year thereafter until Project completion. The audit report must include the Fund
Summary Status Report, Exhibit J. The audit must be performed by certified independent auditors
and include the following:
1) Test for compliance with the Grant Agreement or Interlocal Agreement, as the case may be,
Miami -Dade County Ordinance No. 05-47, applicable resolutions and the Building Better
Communities General Obligation Bond Administrative Rules.
2) Test to verify compliance with advance requirements.
3) Sufficient tests, as determined by the independent auditor, to verify true and accurate
reflection of Project expenditures.
4) Tests to verify expenditure of required match dollars.
5) Verification of the Fund Summary Status Report.
B) Land and facilities acquired, developed, improved, or rehabilitated by Funding Allocation shall
be dedicated and maintained in perpetuity for the use and benefit of the general public except
where leases are in effect. Any land, facilities, or equipment acquired with Building Better
Communities General Obligation Bond funds may not be sold or transferred without the written
consent of the County and may require an equitable reimbursement of bond funding based on
residual value. All projects shall be open to the public at reasonable times and shall be managed
in a safe and attractive manner appropriate for public use.
C) Funding Allocation for the purposes of development, improvement, rehabilitation, or restoration
shall be expended for these purposes only on lands owned by a Recipient or on lands for which
the Recipient holds a lease or other use agreement. Such lease or other use agreement must be
for an unexpired minimum term of 25 years. The Funding Allocation Recipient may demonstrate
the eligibility of the Project to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board, through ajoint ownership,
use, franchise or other agreement, evidencing that the lands and/or the Project will be utilized for
the public benefit, consistent with the terms of the Ordinance, for a term of at least 25 years in
duration. The lease must not be revocable at will.
D) Recipient shall maintain all financial and programmatic records, supporting documents and other
records pertinent to the Funding Allocation for a period of three years from the starting date
defined below. If any litigation, claim, negotiation, audit, or other action involving the records
has been started before the expiration of the three year period, the records must be retained until
completion of the action and resolution of all issues that arise from it, or until the end of the
regular three year period, whichever is later. When Funding Allocation support is continued or
renewed at annual or other intervals, the retention period for the records of each funding period
starts on the day the Recipient submits to the County its single or last expenditure report for that
period. In all other cases, the retention period starts on the day the Recipient submits its final
expenditure report.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 839193A0-2774-4F4D-ACF9-2756288B824C
E) The Board and the County, or any of their authorized representatives, shall have the right of access
to any pertinent books, documents, papers or other records of the Recipient in order to make
audits, examinations, excerpts and transcripts.
Office of the Miami -Dade County Inspector General (IG) (MDC Code Section 2-1076) shall have
the authority and power to review past, present and proposed County programs, accounts, records,
contracts, and transactions. The IG shall have the power to subpoena witnesses, administer oaths,
and require the production of records. Upon ten (10) days written notice to the Recipient from
IG, the Recipient shall make all requested records and documents available to the IG for
inspection and copying. The IG shall have the power to report and/or recommend to the Board
whether a particular project, program, contract, or transaction is or was necessary and, if deemed
necessary, whether the method used for implementing the project or program is or was efficient
both financially and operationally. Monitoring of an existing project or program may include
reporting whether the project is on time, within budget and in conformity with plans,
specifications, and applicable law. The IG shall have the power to analyze the need for, and
reasonableness of, proposed change orders.
The IG may, on a random basis, perform audits on all County contracts throughout the duration
of said contract (hereinafter "random audits"). This random audit is separate and distinct from
any other audit by the County. To pay for the functions of the Office of the Inspector General,
any and all payments to be made to the Recipient under the Grant Agreement will be assessed one
quarter of one percent of the total amount of the payment, to be deducted from each progress
payment as the same becomes due unless, as stated in the Code or the Grant Agreement, the
Project is federally or state funded and federal or state law or regulations preclude such a charge.
The Recipient shall in stating its agreed prices be mindful of this assessment.
The IG shall have the power to retain and coordinate the services of an independent private sector
inspector general (IPSIG) who may be engaged to perform said random audits, as well as audit,
investigate, monitor, oversee, inspect, and review the operations, activities, and performance and
procurement process including, but not limited to, project design, establishment of bid
specifications, bid submittals, activities of the contractor, its officers, agents, and employees,
lobbyists, County staff, and elected officials in order to ensure compliance with contract
specifications and detect corruption and fraud.
F) If a Recipient materially fails to comply with any term of an award, the Board or the County
Mayor or the County Mayor's designee may take one or more of the following actions, as
appropriate in the circumstances:
1) Temporarily withhold cash payments pending correction of the deficiency by the Recipient;
2) Disallow all or part of the cost of the activity or action not in compliance;
3) Wholly or partly suspend or terminate the current award for the Recipient's Project;
4) Withhold further Funding Allocation awards from the Recipient; or
5) Take other remedies that may be legally available.
Building Better Communities Administrative Rules Rev. 08/2017
25 of 27
DocuSign Envelope ID: 839193A0-2774-4F4D-ACF9-2756288B824C
G) Any of the enforcement actions listed in paragraph F above, taken by the County Mayor or the
County Mayor's designee, which are contested and unresolved between the Recipient and the
County within thirty days of such action, will result in the Board providing the Recipient with an
opportunity to be heard on the issue. Said hearing will occur within sixty days of the Board
receiving the Recipient's written request. Staff will recommend appropriate action to the Board.
H) Costs to Recipient resulting from obligations incurred by the Recipient during a suspension or
after termination of an award are not eligible for reimbursement unless the County Mayor or his
designee expressly authorizes them in the notice of suspension or termination or subsequently
authorizes reimbursement in writing. Other costs incurred by the Recipient during suspension or
after termination, which are necessary and not reasonably avoidable, are eligible for
reimbursement, if:
1) The costs result from obligations that were properly incurred by the Recipient before the
effective date of suspension or termination, were not in anticipation of it, and in the case of a
termination, are non -cancelable; and
2) The costs would be eligible for reimbursement if the award were not suspended or if the award
expired normally at the end of the funding period in which the termination takes effect.
I) Inspections. Staff of the Board or the County, or both, shall periodically inspect each Project to
ensure compliance with these rules, the Ordinance, and the Grant Agreement or Interlocal
Agreement, as the case may be. Staff shall perform an inspection of the Project site to ensure
compliance prior to release of the final Funding Allocation payment.
SECTION 3. REPORTS
Recipients are required to submit the Project Status Report no later than monthly (Exhibit E), in the
format stipulated by the County Mayor or the County Mayor's designee. Additional reports that shall
be due upon request of the County Mayor or the County Mayor's designee may include, but are not
limited to:
A) Actual accomplishments of each Funding Cycle Allocation;
B) Problems encountered in implementation of each Funding Cycle Allocation; and
C) Anticipated start and/or completion dates of each Funding Cycle Allocation.
Recipient may be required to meet with the Board to discuss the Project.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 839193A0-2774-4F4D-ACF9-2756288B824C
SECTION 4. PROJECT CLOSE-OUT
A) A Recipient has up to forty-five (45) days after the expiration or termination of the Funding
Allocation to submit all final documentation including final reimbursement requests and Project
completion certificates.
B) The close-out of a Funding Allocation does not affect:
1) The County's right to disallow costs and recover funds on the basis of a later audit or review;
2) The Recipient's obligation to return any funds due as a result of later refunds, corrections, or
other transactions;
3) Records retention responsibilities set forth above;
4) Continuing responsibilities set forth in the Ordinance, the Grant Agreement or Interlocal
Agreement, as the case may be, and these rules; and
5) Audit rights set forth in these rules.
C) Any amounts paid to Recipient in excess of the amount to which the Recipient is finally
determined to be entitled under the terms of the Grant Agreement or Interlocal Agreement, as the
case may be, constitute a debt to the County. If not paid within a reasonable period after demand,
the County may reduce the debt by:
1) Making an administrative offset against other requests for reimbursement;
2) Withholding payments otherwise due to the Recipient; or
3) Taking other action provided by law.
Any overdue debt of the Recipient shall accrue interest at the maximum rate allowed by law.
SECTION 5. INTERPRETATION; ADMINISTRATION
These administrative rules have been promulgated under the Ordinance. In the event of a conflict
between these rules and the provisions of the Ordinance, the Ordinance shall prevail.
The County Mayor or the County Mayor's designee shall be authorized to interpret the provisions of
these administrative rules and their interpretation of any matters governed hereby shall be final and
may only be overturned by a majority vote of the Board. The County Mayor or the County Mayor's
designee shall submit recommendations amending these administrative rules to the Board, which may
approve or reject such recommendations by majority vote.
The County Mayor or the County Mayor's designee shall be authorized and required to administer
the Building Better Communities General Obligation Bond Program consistent with the Ordinance
and these administrative rules.
