THIS AGREEMENT IS ENTERED INTO BASED ON THE FOLLOWING REPRESENTATIONS:
A. The Sub -Recipient represents that it is fully qualified and eligible to receive these grant funds to provide

(8) PERIOD OF AGREEMENT.
This Agreement shall begin upon execution by both parties and shall end on December 31, 2020,
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
3
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-RecipientMI 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 and B of this Agreement ("Budget and Scope of Work"). The maximum
reimbursement amount for the entirety of this Agreement is $5,700,000.00.
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 against a performance measure, outlined in Attachment A and B, that clearly
delineates:
The required minimum acceptable level of service to be performed; and,
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 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:
They are provided under established written leave policies;
M
and,
The costs are equitably allocated to all related activities, including Federal awards;
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:
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,
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:
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,
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. 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 all 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:
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
long-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.
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
rt
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 and objectives of the Budget and Scope of Work -
Attachment A and B - and all other applicable laws and regulations.

CONTRACT, CONTACT THE CUSTODIAN OF PUBLIC RECORDS AT: (850) 815-4156,

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

(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 hold the Division harmless against all
claims of whatever nature by third parties arising from the work performance under this Agreement. For purposes of
this Agreement, Sub -Recipient agrees that it is not an employee or agent of the Division, but is an independent

b. As required by section 768.28(19), Florida Statutes, any Sub -Recipient which is a state agency
or subdivision, as defined in section 768.28(2), Florida Statutes, agrees to be fully responsible for its negligent or
tortious acts or omissions which result in claims or suits against the Division, and agrees to be liable for any damages
proximately caused by the acts or omissions to the extent set forth in Section 768.28, Florida Statutes. Nothing
herein is intended to serve as a waiver of sovereign immunity by any Sub -Recipient to which sovereign immunity
applies. Nothing herein shall be construed as consent by a state agency or subdivision of the State of Florida to be
sued by third parties in any matter arising out of any contract.

If any of the following events occur ("Events of Default'), all obligations on the part of the Division to
make further payment of funds shall terminate and the Division has the option to exercise any of its remedies set forth
in Paragraph (16); however, the Division may make payments or partial payments after any Events of Default without
waiving the right to exercise such remedies, and without becoming liable to make any further payment if:
a. Any warranty or representation made by the Sub -Recipient in this Agreement or any previous
agreement with the Division is or becomes false or misleading in any respect, or if the Sub -Recipient fails to keep or

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

Sub -Recipient as quickly as possible within the three (3) business day window outlined above. If the Sub -Recipient

Overtime and backfill costs — Overtime expenses are defined as
the result of personnel who worked over and above their normal
scheduled daily or weekly worked time in the performance of
FEMA — approved activities. Backfill Costs also called "Overtime as
Backfill" are defined as expenses from the result of personnel who
are working overtime in order to perform the duties of other
personnel who are temporarily assigned to FEMA — approved
activities outside their core responsibilities. Neither overtime nor

employee of a unit of government may not receive compensation
from their unit or agency of government AND from an award for a
single period of time (e.g., 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm), even though such
work may benefit both activities. Fringe benefits on overtime hours

exercise series. Exercises conducted by states and Urban Areas may be used to fulfill similar exercise requirements
required by other grant programs. Sub -Recipients are encouraged to invite representatives/planners involved with
other Federally -mandated or private exercise activities. States and Urban Areas are encouraged to share, at a
minimum, the multi-year training and exercise schedule with those departments, agencies, and organizations
included in the plan.
32
Exercise Scenarios. The scenarios used in HSGP-funded exercises must be based on the state/Urban
Area's THIRA and SPR. The scenarios used in HSGP-funded exercises must focus on validating
capabilities, must be large enough in scope and size to exercise multiple activities and warrant
involvement from multiple jurisdictions and disciplines and non-governmental organizations, and take
into account the needs and requirements for individuals with disabilities, individuals with limited English
proficiency and others with access and functional needs, and is essential to the development of an
effective and comprehensive exercise program. Exercises are designed to be progressive — increasing
in scope and complexity and drawing upon results and outcomes from prior exercises and real-world
incidents — to challenge participating communities. Consistent with Homeland Security Exercise and
Evaluation Program guidance and tools, the National Exercise Program (NEP) serves as the principal
exercise mechanism for examining national preparedness and measuring readiness. Exercise
scenarios should align with priorities and capabilities identified in the Multi-year TEP.
Special Event Planning. If a state or Urban Area will be hosting a special event (e.g., Super Bowl, G-8
Summit), the special event planning should be considered as a training or exercise activity for the
purpose of the multi-year TEP. States must include all confirmed or planned special events in the Multi-
year TEP. The state or Urban Area may plan to use SHSP or UASI funding to finance training and
exercise activities in preparation for those events. States and Urban Areas should also consider
exercises at major venues (e.g., arenas, convention centers) that focus on evacuations,
communications, and command and control.
Regional Exercises. States should also anticipate participating in at least one Regional Exercise
annually. States must include all confirmed or planned special events in the Multi-year TEP.
Role of Non -Governmental Entities in Exercises. Non-governmental participation in all levels of
exercises is strongly encouraged. Leaders from non-governmental entities should be included in the
planning, design, and evaluation of an exercise. State, local, Tribal, and territorial jurisdictions are
encouraged to develop exercises that test the integration and use of non-governmental resources
provided by non-governmental entities, defined as the private sector and private non-profit, faith -based,
community, participation in exercises should be coordinated with the local Citizen Corps Council(s) or
their equivalent and other partner agencies.
FDEM State Training Office conditions for Exercises: For the purposes of this Agreement, any exercise which is
compliant with HSEEP standards and contained in the State of Florida (and County or Regional) MYTEP qualifies as
an authorized exercise. The Sub -Recipient can successfully complete an authorized exercise either by attending or

Allowable training -related costs under HSGP include the establishment, support, conduct, and attendance of training
specifically identified under the SHSP and UASI programs and/or in conjunction with emergency preparedness
training by other Federal agencies (e.g., HHS and DOT). Training conducted using HSGP funds should address a
performance gap identified through an AAR/IP or other assessments (e.g., National Emergency Communications
Plan NECP Goal Assessments) and contribute to building a capability that will be evaluated through a formal
exercise. Any training or training gaps, including those for children, older adults, pregnant women, and individuals
with disabilities and others who also have access or functional needs, should be identified in the AAR/IP and
addressed in the state or Urban Area training cycle. Sub -Recipients are encouraged to use existing training rather

Additional Training Information
Per DHS/FEMA Grant Programs Directorate Policy FP 207-008-064-1, Review and Approval Requirements
for Training Courses Funded Through Preparedness Grants, issued on September 9, 2013, states,
territories, Tribal entities and urban areas are no longer required to request approval from FEMA for
personnel to attend non -DHS FEMA training as long as the training is coordinated with and approved by the
state, territory, Tribal or Urban Area Training Point of Contact (TPOC) and falls within the FEMA mission
scope and the jurisdiction's Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). The only exception to this policy is for
Countering Violent Extremism courses. DHS/FEMA will conduct periodic reviews of all state, territory, and
Urban Area training funded by DHS/FEMA. These reviews may include requests for all course materials and
physical observation of, or participation in, the funded training. If these reviews determine that courses are
outside the scope of this guidance, Sub -Recipients will be asked to repay grant funds expended in support
of those efforts.

the State (and County or Regional) MYTEP reflecting the training.
E. Allowable Equipment Related Costs (SHSP and UASI)
The 21 allowable prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery equipment categories and equipment
standards for HSGP are listed on the web -based version of the Authorized Equipment List (AEL) on
35
http://www.fema.,qov/authorized-equipment-list. Unless otherwise stated, equipment must meet all mandatory
regulatory and/or DHS -adopted standards to be eligible for purchase using these funds. In addition, agencies will be
responsible for obtaining and maintaining all necessary certifications and licenses for the requested equipment.
Grant funds may be used for the procurement of medical countermeasures. Procurement of medical
countermeasures must be conducted in collaboration with State/city/local health departments who administer Federal
funds from HHS for this purpose. Procurement must have a sound threat based justification with an aim to reduce the
consequences of mass casualty incidents during the first crucial hours of a response. Prior to procuring
pharmaceuticals, grantees must have in place an inventory management plan to avoid large periodic variations in
supplies due to coinciding purchase and expiration dates. Grantees are encouraged to enter into rotational
procurement agreements with vendors and distributors. Purchases of pharmaceuticals must include a budget for the
disposal of expired drugs within each fiscal year's period of performance for HSGP. The cost of disposal cannot be
carried over to another FEMA grant or grant period.
The equipment, goods, and supplies ("the eligible equipment") purchased with funds provided under this
agreement are for the purposes specified in "Florida's Domestic Security Strategy". Equipment purchased with
these funds will be utilized in the event of emergencies, including, but not limited to, terrorism -related
hazards. The Sub -Recipient shall place the equipment throughout the State of Florida in such a manner that, in
the event of an emergency, the equipment can be deployed on the scene of the emergency or be available for
use at a fixed location within two (2) hours of a request for said deployment. The Florida Division of Emergency
Management (FDEM) must approve any purchases of equipment not itemized in a project's approved budget in
advance of the purchase.
The Sub -Recipient will, in accordance with the statewide mutual aid agreement or other emergency response
purpose as specified in the "Florida Domestic Security Strategy," ensure that all equipment purchased with
these funds is used to respond to any and all incidents within its regional response area as applicable for so
long as this Agreement remains in effect. Prior to requesting a response, the FDEM will take prudent and
appropriate action to determine that the level or intensity of the incident is such that the specialized equipment
and resources are necessary to mitigate the outcome of the incident.
The Sub -Recipient shall notify the FDEM Office of Domestic Preparedness at: 2555 Shumard Oak Blvd.,
Tallahassee, Florida 32399 one year in advance of the expiration of the equipment's posted shelf -life or normal
life expectancy or when it has been expended. The Sub -Recipient shall notify the FDEM immediately if the
equipment is destroyed, lost, or stolen.
Controlled Equipment (SHSP, UASI, and OPSG)
Grant funds may be used for the purchase of Controlled Equipment; however, because of the nature of the
equipment the potential impact on the community, there are additional and specific requirements in order to acquire
this equipment. Refer to IB 407a: Use of Grant Funds for Controlled Equipment.
F. Management and Administration (M&A)
Management and administration (M&A) activities are those directly relating to the management and administration of
HSGP funds, such as financial management and monitoring. Sub -Recipients awarded M&A costs under this
agreement can retain a maximum of up to 5% of their total agreement award amount for M&A costs.
M&A activities includes:
• Hiring of full-time or part-time staff or contractors/consultants:
• To assist with the management of the respective grant program.
• To assist with application requirements.
• To assist with the compliancy with reporting and data collection requirements.
G. Procurement
All procurement transactions will be conducted in a manner providing full and open competition and
shall comply with the standards articulated in:
• 2 C.F.R. Part 200;
• Chapter 287, Florida Statues; and,
• any local procurement policy.
36
To the extent that one standard is more stringent than another, the Sub -Recipient must follow the more
stringent standard. For example, if a State statute imposes a stricter requirement than a Federal
regulation, then the Sub -Recipient must adhere to the requirements of the State statute.
The Division shall pre -approve all scopes of work for projects funded under this
agreement. Additionally, the Sub -Recipient shall not execute a piggy -back contract unless the
Division has approved the Scope of Work contained in the original contract that forms the basis for the
piggy -back contract. Also, in order to receive reimbursement from the Division, the Sub -Recipient must
provide the Division with a suspension and debarment form for each vendor that performed work under
the agreement. Furthermore, if requested by the Division, the Sub -Recipient shall provide copies of
solicitation documents including responses and justification of vendor selection.
H. Piggy -backing
The practice of procurement by one agency using the agreement of another agency is called
piggybacking. The ability to piggyback onto an existing contract is not unlimited. The existing contract
must contain language or other legal authority authorizing third parties to make purchases from the
contract with the vendor's consent. The terms and conditions of the new contract, including the Scope
of Work, must be substantially the same as those of the existing contract. The piggyback contract may
not exceed the existing contract in scope or volume of goods or services. An agency may not use the
preexisting contract merely as a "basis to begin negotiations" for a broader or materially different
contract.
Section 215.971, Florida Statutes
Statutory changes enacted by the Legislature impose additional requirements on grant and Sub -
Recipient agreements funded with Federal or State financial assistance. In pertinent part, Section
215.971(1) states:
• An agency agreement that provides state financial assistance to a Recipient or
Sub -Recipient, as those terms are defined in s. 215.97, or that provides federal financial
assistance to a Sub -Recipient, as defined by applicable United States Office of Management
and Budget circulars, must include all of the following:
• A provision specifying a Scope of Work that clearly establishes the tasks that the Recipient or
Sub -Recipient is required to perform.
• A provision dividing the agreement into quantifiable units of deliverables that must be received
and accepted in writing by the agency before payment. Each deliverable must be directly
related to the Scope of Work and specify the required minimum level of service to be
performed and the criteria for evaluating the successful completion of each deliverable.
A provision specifying the financial consequences that apply if the Recipient or Sub -Recipient
fails to perform the minimum level of service required by the agreement. The provision can be
excluded from the agreement only if financial consequences are prohibited by the federal
agency awarding the grant. Funds refunded to a state agency from a Recipient or Sub -
Recipient for failure to perform as required under the agreement may be expended only in
direct support of the program from which the agreement originated.
A provision specifying that a Recipient or Sub -Recipient of federal or state financial assistance
may expend funds only for allowable costs resulting from obligations incurred during the
specified agreement period.
• A provision specifying that any balance of unobligated funds which has been advanced or paid
must be refunded to the state agency.
• A provision specifying that any funds paid in excess of the amount to which the Recipient or
Sub -Recipient is entitled under the terms and conditions of the agreement must be refunded to
the state agency.
• Any additional information required pursuant to s. 215.97.
37
I. Overtime and Backfill
The entire amount of overtime costs, including payments related to backfilling personnel, which are the direct
result of time spent on the design, development, and conduct of exercises are allowable expenses. These costs
are allowed only to the extent the payment for such services is in accordance with the policies of the State or
unit(s) of local government and has the approval of the State or the awarding agency, whichever is applicable. In
no case is dual compensation allowable. That is, an employee of a unit of government may not receive
compensation from their unit or agency of government AND from an award for a single period of time (e.g., 1:00
p.m. to 5:00 p.m.), even though such work may benefit both activities. Requests for overtime or backfill must be
reduced by the number of hours of leave taken in the pay period. For the purposes of this agreement, leave and
pay period are defined according to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
Failure to comply
Failure to comply with any of the provisions outlined above shall result in disallowance of reimbursement for
expenditures.
Unallowable Costs (SHSP, UASI and OPSG)
Per FEMA policy, the purchase of weapons and weapons accessories is not allowed with HSGP.

MONITORING GUIDELINES
Florida has enhanced state and local capability and capacity to prevent, prepare and respond to terrorist
threats since 1999 through various funding sources including federal grant funds. The Florida Division of
Emergency Management (FDEM) has a responsibility to track and monitor the status of grant activity and
items purchased to ensure compliance with applicable grant guidance and statutory regulations. The
monitoring process is designed to assess a Sub -Recipient agency's compliance with applicable state and
federal guidelines.
Monitoring is accomplished utilizing various methods including desk monitoring and on-site visits. There are
two primary areas reviewed during monitoring activities - financial and programmatic monitoring. Financial
monitoring is the review of records associated with the purchase and disposition of property, projects and
contracts. Programmatic monitoring is the observation of equipment purchased, protocols and other
associated records. Various levels of financial and programmatic review may be accomplished during this
process.
Desk monitoring is the review of projects, financial activity and technical assistance between FDEM and the
applicant via e-mail and telephone. On-site monitoring are actual visits to the Sub -Recipient agencies by
Division representatives who examines records, procedures and equipment.
Frequency of annual monitoring activity:
Each year, FDEM will conduct monitoring based on a "Risk Assessment". The risk assessment tool is used to
help in determining the priority of Sub -Recipients that should be reviewed and the level of monitoring that
should be performed. It is important to note that although a given grant may be closed, it is still subject to
either desk or on-site monitoring for a five (5) year period following closure.
Areas that will be examined include:
• Management and administrative procedures;
Grant folder maintenance;
• Equipment accountability and sub -hand receipt procedures;
Program for obsolescence;
• Status of equipment purchases;
• Status of training for purchased equipment;
• Status and number of response trainings conducted to include number trained;
• Status and number of exercises;
• Status of planning activity;
Anticipated projected completion;
• Difficulties encountered in completing projects;
• Agency NIMS/ICS compliance documentation;
• Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO Status);
• Procurement Policy
FDEM may request additional monitoring/information of the activity, or lack thereof, generates questions from
the region, the sponsoring agency or FDEM leadership. The method of gathering this information will be
determined on a case-by-case basis.
Desk monitoring is an on-going process. Sub -Recipients will be required to participate in desk top monitoring
as determined by FDEM. This contact will provide an opportunity to identify the need for technical assistance
(TA) and/or a site visit if FDEM determines that a Sub -Recipient is having difficulty completing their project.
As difficulties/deficiencies are identified, the respective region or sponsoring agency will be notified by the
program office via email. Information will include the grant Sub -Recipient agency name, year and project
description and the nature of the issue in question. Many of the issues that arise may be resolved at the
regional or sponsoring agency level. Issues that require further TA will be referred to FDEM for
assistance. Examples of TA include but are not limited to:
Equipment selection or available vendors
Eligibility of items or services
50
• Coordination and partnership with other agencies within or outside the region or discipline
Recordkeeping
• Reporting Requirements
Documentation in support of a Request for Reimbursement
On -Site Monitoring Protocol
On-site monitoring will be conducted by FDEM or designated personnel. On-site monitoring visits will be
scheduled in advance with the Sub -Recipient Agency POC designated in the grant agreement. Subject matter
experts from other agencies within the region or state may be called upon to assist in the form of a peer review
as needed.
On-site monitoring visits will begin with those sub -recipients that are currently spending and risks are identified
and significant for that federal fiscal year (FY 18). Site visits may be combined when geographically
convenient. There is a financial/programmatic on-site monitoring checklist to assist in the completion of all
required tasks.
Site Visit Preparation
A monitoring notification letter will be sent to the Sub -Recipient Agency Point of Contact (POC) outlining the
date, time and purpose of the site visit before the planned arrival date. The appointment should be confirmed
with the Sub -Recipient in writing (email is acceptable) and documented in the grant folder.
The physical location of any equipment located at an alternate site should be confirmed with a representative
from that location and the address should be documented in the grantee folder before the site visit.
On -Site Monitoring Visit
Once FDEM personnel have arrived at the site. FDEM personnel will explain the purpose of the site visit and
the items FDEM intends to examine will be identified. All objectives of the site visit will be explained during this
time.
FDEM personnel will review all files and supporting documentation. Once the supporting documentation has
been reviewed, a tour/visuallspot inspection of equipment will be conducted.
Each item selected for review should be visually inspected whenever possible. Bigger items (computers,
response vehicles, etc.) should have an asset decal (information/serial number) placed in a prominent location
on each piece of equipment as per Sub -Recipient agency requirements. The serial number should correspond
with the appropriate receipt to confirm purchase. Photographs should be taken of the equipment (large capital
expenditures in excess of $1,000. per item). If an item is not available (being used during time of the site visit),
the appropriate documentation must be provided to account for that particular piece of equipment.
Other programmatic issues can be discussed at this time, such as missing quarterly reports, payment
voucher/reimbursement, equipment, questions, etc.
Post Monitoring Visit
FDEM personnel will review the on-site monitoring worksheets and backup documentation as a team and
discuss the events of the on-site monitoring.
Within thirty (30) calendar days of the site visit, a post monitoring letter will be generated and sent to the sub -
recipient explaining any issues and corrective actions required or recommendations. Should no issues or
findings be identified, a post monitoring letter to that effect will be generated and sent to the Sub -Recipient. If
there are no findings, the Sub -Recipient will submit a Corrective Action Plan within a timeframe as determined
by FDEM. Noncompliance on behalf of sub -recipient is resolved by management under the terms of the Sub -
Grant Agreement.
