ADMINISTRATIVE AND/OR FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS The Subrecipient shall comply with all applicable state and federal laws, rules, regulations, requirements and program guidance identified or referenced in this Agreement and the informational documents published by DHS/FEMA applicable to the 22EMPG Program, including, but not limited to, all criteria, restrictions, and requirements of The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) document, the FEMA Preparedness Grants Manual document, Version 3, May 2022 (the Manual), the DHS Award Letter for the Grant, and the federal regulations commonly applicable to DHS/FEMA grants, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. The DHS Award Letter is incorporated in this Agreement as Attachment C. The Subrecipient acknowledges that since this Agreement involves federal award funding, the performance period may begin prior to the availability of appropriated federal funds. The Subrecipient agrees that it will not hold the Department, the state of Washington, or the United States liable for any damages, claim for reimbursement, or any type of payment whatsoever for services performed under this Agreement prior to distribution of appropriated federal funds, or if federal funds are not appropriated or in a particular amount. A. STATE AND FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR DHS/FEMA PREPAREDNESS GRANTS: The following requirements apply to all DHS/FEMA Preparedness Grants administered by the Department. 1. SUBAWARDS & CONTRACTS BY SUBRECIPIENT a. The Subrecipient must make a case-by-case determination whether each agreement it makes for the disbursement of 22EMPG funds received under this Agreement casts the party receiving the funds in the role of a subrecipient or contractor in accordance with 2 CFR 200.331. b. If the Subrecipient becomes a pass-through entity by making a subaward to a non-federal entity as its subrecipient: i. The Subrecipient must comply with all federal laws and regulations applicable to pass-through entities of 22EMPG funds, including, but not limited to, those contained in 2 CFR 200. ii. The Subrecipient shall require its subrecipient(s) to comply with all applicable state and federal laws, rules, regulations, requirements, and program guidance identified or referenced in this Agreement and the informational documents published by DHS/FEMA applicable to the 22EMPG Program, including, but not limited to, all criteria, restrictions, and requirements of The Department of DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY22 Page 2 of 39 Grant County, E23-204 Homeland Security (DHS) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOF0) Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) document, the Manual, the DHS Award Letter for the Grant in Attachment C, and the federal regulations commonly applicable to DHS/FEMA grants. The Subrecipient shall be responsible to the Department for ensuring that all 22EMPG federal award funds provided to its subrecipients, and associated matching funds, are used in accordance with applicable federal and state statutes and regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award set forth in Attachment C of this Agreement. 2. BUDGET, REIMBURSEMENT, AND TIMELINE a. Within the total Grant Agreement Amount, travel, subcontracts, salaries, benefits, printing, equipment, and other goods and services or other budget categories will be reimbursed on an actual cost basis upon completion unless otherwise provided in this Agreement. b. The maximum amount of all reimbursement requests permitted to be submitted under this Agreement, including the final reimbursement request, is limited to and shall not exceed the total Grant Agreement Amount. C. If the Subrecipient chooses to include indirect costs within the Budget (Attachment F), additional documentation is required based on the applicable situation. As described in 2 CFR 200.414 and Appendix VII to 2 CFR 200: i. If the Subrecipient receives direct funding from any Federal agency(ies), documentation of the rate must be submitted to the Department Key Personnel per the following: A. More than $35 million, the approved indirect cost rate agreement negotiated with its federal cognizant agency. B. Less than $35 million, the indirect cost proposal developed in accordance with Appendix VII of 2 CFR 200 requirements. ii. If the Subrecipient does not receive direct federal funds (i.e., only receives funds as a subrecipient), the Subrecipient must either elect to charge a de minimis rate of ten percent (10%) or 10% of modified total direct costs or choose to negotiate a higher rate with the Department. If the latter is preferred, the Subrecipient must contact Department Key Personnel for approval steps. d. For travel costs, the Subrecipient shall comply with 2 CFR 200.475 and should consult their internal policies, state rates set pursuant to RCW 43.03.050 and RCW 43.03.060 as now existing or amended, and federal maximum rates set forth at htti2s://www.gsa.gov, and follow the most restrictive. If travel costs exceed set state or federal limits, travel costs shall not be reimbursed without written approval by Department Key Personnel. e. Reimbursement requests will include a properly completed State A-19 Invoice Form and Reimbursement Spreadsheet (in the format provided by the Department) detailing the expenditures for which reimbursement is sought. Reimbursement requests must be submitted to Reimbursements _mil.wa.gov no later than the due dates listed within the Timeline (Attachment E). Reimbursement request totals should be commensurate to the time spent processing by the Subrecipient and the Department. Receipts and/or backup documentation for any approved items that are authorized under this Agreement must be maintained by the Subrecipient consistent with record retention requirements of this Agreement and be made available upon request by the Department and auditors. g. The Subrecipient must request prior written approval from Department Key Personnel to waive or extend a due date in the Timeline (Attachment E). For waived or extended reimbursement due dates, all allowable costs should be submitted on the next scheduled DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY22 Page 3 of 39 Grant County, E23-204 reimbursement due date contained in the Timeline. Waiving or missing deadlines serves as an indicator for assessing an agency's level of risk of noncompliance with the regulations, requirements, and the terms and conditions of the Agreement and may increase required monitoring activities. Any request for a waiver or extension of a due date in the Timeline will be treated as a request for Amendment of the Agreement. This request must be submitted to the Department Key Personnel sufficiently in advance of the due date to provide adequate time for Department review and consideration and may be granted or denied within the Department's sole discretion. h. All work under this Agreement must end on or before the Grant Agreement End Date, and the final reimbursement request must be submitted to the Department within forty-five (45) days after the Grant Agreement End Date, except as otherwise authorized by either (1) written amendment of this Agreement or (2) written notification from the Department to the Subrecipient to provide additional time for completion of the Subrecipient's project(s). i. No costs for purchases of equipment/supplies will be reimbursed until the related equipment/supplies have been received by the Subrecipient, its contractor, or any non- federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward and is invoiced by the vendor. j. Failure to submit timely, accurate, and complete reports and reimbursement requests as required by this Agreement (including, but not limited to, those reports in the Timeline) will prohibit the Subrecipient from being reimbursed until such reports and reimbursement requests are submitted and the Department has had reasonable time to conduct its review. k. Final reimbursement requests will not be approved for payment until the Subrecipient is current with all reporting requirements contained in this Agreement. I. A written amendment will be required if the Subrecipient expects cumulative transfers to approved, direct budget categories, as identified in the Budget (Attachment F), to exceed ten percent (10%) of the Grant Agreement Amount. Any changes to budget category totals not in compliance with this paragraph will not be reimbursed without approval from the Department. M. Subrecipients shall only use federal award funds under this Agreement to supplement existing funds and will not use them to replace (supplant) non-federal funds that have been budgeted for the same purpose. The Subrecipient may be required to demonstrate and document that a reduction in non-federal resources occurred for reasons other than the receipt or expected receipt of federal funds. 3. REPORTING a. With each reimbursement request, the Subrecipient shall report how the expenditures, for which reimbursement is sought, relate to the Work Plan (Attachment D) activities in the format provided by the Department. b. With the final reimbursement request, the Subrecipient shall submit to the Department Key Personnel a final report describing all completed activities under this Agreement. C. The Subrecipient shall comply with the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) and related OMB Guidance consistent with Public Law 109-282 as amended by section 6202(a) of Public Law 110-252 (see 31 U.S.C. 6101 note) and complete and return to the Department an Audit Certification/FFATA Form. This form is required to be completed once per calendar year, per Subrecipient, and not per agreement. The Department's Contracts Office will request the Subrecipient submit an updated form at the beginning of each calendar year in which the Subrecipient has an active agreement. 4. EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLY MANAGEMENT a. The Subrecipient and any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward shall comply with 2 CFR 200.317 through 200.327, and all Washington State procurement statutes, when procuring any equipment or supplies under this Agreement, 2 CFR 200.313 for management of equipment, and 2 CFR 200.314 for management of supplies, to include, but not limited to: . DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY22 Page 4 of 39 Grant County, E23-204 i. Upon successful completion of the terms of this Agreement, all equipment and supplies purchased through this Agreement will be owned by the Subrecipient, or a recognized non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient has made a subaward, for which a contract, Subrecipient grant agreement, or other means of legal transfer of ownership is in place. ii. All equipment, and supplies as applicable, purchased under this Agreement will be recorded and maintained in the Subrecipient's inventory system. Inventory system records shall include: A. Description of the property B. Manufacturer's serial number, or other identification number C. Funding source for the property, including the Federal Award Identification Number (FAIN) (Face Sheet, Box 11) D. Assistance Listings Number (formerly CFDA Number) (Face Sheet, Box 13) E. Who holds the title F. Acquisition date G. Cost of the property and the percentage of federal participation in the cost H. Location, use, and condition of the property at the date the information was reported I. Disposition data including the date of disposal and sale price of the property. iv. The Subrecipient shall take a physical inventory of the equipment, and supplies as applicable, and reconcile the results with the property records at least once every two years. Any differences between quantities determined by the physical inspection and those shown in the records shall be investigated by the Subrecipient to determine the cause of the difference. The Subrecipient shall, in connection with the inventory, verify the existence, current utilization, and continued need for the equipment. V. The Subrecipient shall be responsible for any and all operational and maintenance expenses and for the safe operation of the equipment and supplies including all questions of liability. The Subrecipient shall develop appropriate maintenance schedules and procedures to ensure the equipment, and supplies as applicable, are well maintained and kept in good operating condition. vi. The Subrecipient shall develop a control system to ensure adequate safeguards to prevent loss, damage, and theft of the property. Any loss, damage, or theft shall be investigated, and a report generated and sent to the Department's Key Personnel. vii. The Subrecipient must obtain and maintain all necessary certifications and licenses for the equipment. viii. If the Subrecipient is authorized or required to sell the property, proper sales procedures must be established and followed to ensure the highest possible return. For disposition, if upon termination or at the Grant Agreement End Date, when original or replacement supplies or equipment acquired under a federal award are no longer needed for the original project or program or for other activities currently or previously supported by a federal awarding agency, the Subrecipient must comply with the following procedures: A. For Supplies: If there is a residual inventory of unused supplies exceeding $5,000 in total aggregate value upon termination or completion of the DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY22 Page 5 of 39 Grant County, E23-204 project or program and the supplies are not needed for any other federal award, the Subrecipient must retain the supplies for use on other activities or sell them, but must, in either case, compensate the federal government for its share. The amount of compensation must be computed in the same manner as for equipment. B. For Equipment: 1) Items with a current per-unit fair -market value of $5,000 or less may be retained, sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of with no further obligation to the federal awarding agency. 2) Items with a current per-unit fair -market value in excess of $5,000 may be retained or sold. The Subrecipient shall compensate the federal awarding agency in accordance with the requirements of 2 CFR 200.313 (e) (2). ix. Records for equipment shall be retained by the Subrecipient for a period of six years from the date of the disposition, replacement, or transfer. If any litigation, claim, or audit is started before the expiration of the six-year period, the records shall be retained by the Subrecipient until all litigation, claims, or audit findings involving the records have been resolved. b. The Subrecipient shall comply with the Department's Purchase Review Process, which is incorporated by reference and made part of this Agreement. No reimbursement will be provided unless the appropriate approval has been received. C. Allowable equipment categories for the grant program are listed on the Authorized Equipment List (AEL) located on the FEMA website at https://www.fema.gov/grants/guidance-tools/authorized-equipment-list. It is important that the Subrecipient and any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward regard the AEL as an authorized purchasing list identifying items allowed under the specific grant program; the AEL includes items that may not be categorized as equipment according to the federal, state, local, and tribal definitions of equipment. The Subrecipient is solely responsible for ensuring and documenting purchased items under this Agreement are authorized as allowed items by the AEL at time of purchase. If the item is not identified on the AEL as allowable under the grant program, the Subrecipient must contact the Department Key Personnel for assistance in seeking FEMA approval ri®r to acquisition. d. Unless expressly provided otherwise, all equipment must meet all mandatory regulatory and/or DHS/FEMA adopted standards to be eligible for purchase using federal award funds. e. If funding is allocated to emergency communications, the Subrecipient must ensure that all projects comply with SAFECOM Guidance on Emergency Communications Grants, located at https://www.cisa.gov/safecom/funding, ensuring the investments are compatible, interoperable, resilient, and support national goals and objectives for improving emergency communications. Effective August 13, 2020, FEMA recipients and subrecipients, as well as their contractors and subcontractors, may not obligate or expend any FEMA award funds to: i. Procure or obtain any equipment, system, or service that uses covered telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential component of any system, or as critical technology of any system; ii. Enter into, extend, or renew a contract to procure or obtain any equipment, system, or service that uses covered telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential component of any system, or as critical technology of any system; or DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY22 Page 6 of 39 Grant County, E23-204 iii. Enter into, extend, or renew contracts with entities that use covered telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential component of any system, or as critical technology as part of any system. This prohibition regarding certain telecommunications and video surveillance services or equipment is mandated by section 889 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (FY 2019 NDAA), Pub. L. No. 115-232 (2018). Recipients and subrecipients may use DHS/FEMA grant funding to procure replacement equipment and services impacted by this prohibition, provided the costs are otherwise consistent with the requirements of the Manual and applicable NOFO. Per subsections 889(fl(2)-(3) of the FY 2019 NDAA, and 2 CFR 200.216, covered telecommunications equipment or services means: iv. Telecommunications equipment produced by Huawei Technologies Company or ZTE Corporation (or any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities); V. For the purpose of public safety, security of government facilities, physical security surveillance of critical infrastructure, and other national security purposes, video surveillance and telecommunications equipment produced by Hytera Communications Corporation, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Company, or Dahua Technology Company (or any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities); vi. Telecommunications or video surveillance services provided by such entities or using such equipment; or vii. Telecommunications or video surveillance equipment or services produced or provided by an entity that the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence or the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, reasonably believes to be an entity owned or controlled by, or otherwise connected to, the government of a covered foreign country. g. The Subrecipient must pass through equipment and supply management requirements that meet or exceed the requirements outlined above to any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward under this Agreement. 5. ENVIRONMENTAL AND HISTORICAL PRESERVATION a. The Subrecipient shall ensure full compliance with the DHS/FEMA Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation (EHP) program. EHP program information can be found at https://www.fema.qov/grants/guidance-tools/environmental-historic all of which are incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement. b. Projects that have historical impacts or the potential to impact the environment, including, but not limited to, construction of communication towers; modification or renovation of existing buildings, structures and facilities; or new construction including replacement of facilities, must participate in the DHS/FEMA EHP review process prior to initiation. Modification of existing buildings, including minimally invasive improvements such as attaching monitors to interior walls, and training or exercises occurring outside in areas not considered previously disturbed, also require a DHS/FEMA EHP review before project initiation. C. The EHP review process involves the submission of a detailed project description that includes the entire scope of work, including any alternatives that may be under consideration, along with supporting documentation so FEMA may determine whether the proposed project has the potential to impact environmental resources and/or historic properties. d. The Subrecipient agrees that to receive any federal preparedness funding, all EHP compliance requirements outlined in applicable guidance must be met. The EHP review process must be completed and FEMA approval received by the Subrecipient before any work is started for which reimbursement will be later requested. Expenditures for DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY22 Page 7 of 39 Grant County, E23-204 projects started before completion of the EHP review process and receipt of approval by the Subrecipient will not be reimbursed. 6. PROCUREMENT a. The Subrecipient shall comply with all procurement requirements of 2 CFR Part 200.317 through 200.327 and as specified in the General Terms and Conditions (Attachment B, A.10). b. For all sole source contracts expected to exceed $250,000, the Subrecipient must submit to the Department for pre -procurement review and approval the procurement documents, such as requests for proposals, invitations for bids and independent cost estimates. This requirement must be passed on to any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward, at which point the Subrecipient will be responsible for reviewing and approving sole source justifications of any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward. 7. SUBRECIPIENT MONITORING a. The Department will monitor the activities of the Subrecipient from award to closeout. The goal of the Department's monitoring activities will be to ensure that agencies receiving federal pass-through funds are in compliance with this Agreement, federal and state audit requirements, federal grant guidance, and applicable federal and state financial regulations, as well as 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F. b. To document compliance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F requirements, the Subrecipient shall complete and return to the Department an Audit Certification/FFATA form. This form is required to be completed once per calendar year, per Subrecipient, and not per agreement. The Department's Contracts Office will request the Subrecipient submit an updated form at the beginning of each calendar year in which the Subrecipient has an active agreement. C. Monitoring activities may include, but are not limited to: viii. Review of financial and performance reports ix. Monitoring and documenting the completion of Agreement deliverables X. Documentation of phone calls, meetings (e.g. agendas, sign -in sheets, meeting minutes), e-mails and correspondence A. Review of reimbursement requests and supporting documentation to ensure allowability and consistency with Agreement work plan, budget, and federal requirements xii. Observation and documentation of Agreement related activities, such as exercises, training, events, and equipment demonstrations xiii. On-site visits to review equipment records and inventories, to verify source documentation for reimbursement requests and performance reports, and to verify completion of deliverables. d. The Subrecipient is required to meet or exceed the monitoring activities, as outlined above, for any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward as a pass- through entity under this Agreement. e. Compliance will be monitored throughout the performance period to assess risk. Concerns will be addressed through a Corrective Action Plan. 8. LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY (CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 TITLE VI) a. The Subrecipient must comply with the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title Vl) prohibition against discrimination on the basis of national origin, which requires that subrecipients of federal financial assistance take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to persons with limited English proficiency (LEP) to their programs and services. Providing meaningful access for persons with LEP may entail providing language assistance services, including oral interpretation and written translation. Executive Order DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY22 Page 8 of 39 Grant County, E23-204 13166, Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency (August 117 2000), requires federal agencies to issue guidance to recipients, assisting such organizations and entities in understanding their language access obligations. DHS published the required recipient guidance in April 2011, DHS Guidance to Federal Financial Assistance Recipients Regarding Title VI Prohibition Against National Origin Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient Persons, 76 Fed. Reg. 21755-21768, (April 18, 2011). The Guidance provides helpful information such as how a recipient can determine the extent of its obligation to provide language services, selecting language services, and elements of an effective plan on language assistance for LEP persons. For additional assistance and information regarding language access obligations, please refer to the DHS Recipient Guidance at https://www.dhs.gov/guidance-published-help- department-supported-organizations-provide-meaningful-access-people-limited and additional resources on https://www.lep.gov. 9. NIMS COMPLIANCE a. The National Incident Management System (NIMS) identifies concepts and principles that answer how to manage emergencies from preparedness to recovery regardless of their cause, size, location, or complexity. NIMS provides a consistent, nationwide approach and vocabulary for multiple agencies or jurisdictions to work together to build, sustain, and deliver the core capabilities needed to achieve a secure and resilient nation. b. Consistent implementation of NIMS provides a solid foundation across jurisdictions and disciplines to ensure effective and integrated preparedness, planning, and response. NIMS empowers the components of the National Preparedness System, a requirement of Presidential Policy Directive 8, to guide activities within the public and private sector and describes the planning, organizational activities, equipping, training, and exercising needed to build and sustain the core capabilities in support of the National Preparedness Goal. C. In order to receive federal preparedness funding from the Department, the Subrecipient must achieve, or be actively working to achieve, all of the NIMS Implementation Objectives located at https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/nims/implementation-training. B. EMPG PROGRAM SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS The Department receives EMPG funding from DHS/FEMA, to assist state, local, and tribal governments to enhance and sustain all -hazards emergency management capabilities as authorized by Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. §§ 5121 et seq.) and Section 662 of the Post Katrina Emergency Management Act (6 U.S.C. § 762). A portion of the grant program is passed through to local jurisdictions and tribes with emergency management programs to supplement their local/tribal operating budgets to help sustain and enhance emergency management capabilities pursuant to Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 118-09. a. The Subrecipient shall use the EMPG funds authorized under this Agreement only to perform tasks as described in the Work Plan of the Subrecipient's application for funding, as approved by the Department and incorporated into this Agreement. b. Funding may not be used to replace or supplant existing local or tribal government funding of emergency management programs. C. The Subrecipient shall provide a fifty percent cash match of non-federal origin. The Federal share applied toward the EMPG budget shall not exceed fifty percent of the total budget as submitted and approved in the application and documented in the Budget (Attachment F). To meet matching requirements, the Subrecipient's cash matching contributions must be verifiable, reasonable, allowable, allocable, and necessary under the grant program and must comply with all Federal requirements and regulations, including, but not limited to, 2 CFR Part 200. An appropriate mechanism must be in place to capture, track, and document matching funds. In the final report, the Subrecipient shall identify how the match was met and documented. DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY22 Page 9 of 39 Grant County, E23-204 d. The Subrecipient shall participate in the State's annual Stakeholder Preparedness Review (SPR), Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA), core capabilities assessments, and data calls. Non -participation may result in withholding of funding under future grant years. e. Subrecipients shall participate in the State's annual Integrated Preparedness Planning Workshop (IPPV. Non -participation may result in withholding of funding under future grant years. If funding is allocated to non -DHS FEMA training, the Subrecipient must request rior written approval from the Department Key Personnel before attending the training. The Department will coordinate approval with the State Training Point of Contact. Pursuant to DHS/FEMA Grant Programs Directorate Information Bulletin No. 432, Review and Approval Requirements for Training Courses Funded Through Preparedness Grants, https://www.fema.gov/sites/default/files/2020- 04/Traininq Course Review and Approval IB Final 7 19 18.pdf, the training must fall within the FEMA mission scope and be in alignment with the Subrecipient's Emergency Operations Plan. This requirement only applies to training courses and does not include attendance at conferences. Furthermore, additional federal approvals are required for courses that relate to Countering Violent Extremism prior to attendance. 9. All personnel funded in any part through federal award or matching funds under this Agreement shall complete and record proof of completion of: i. NIMS training requirements outlined in the NIMS Training Program located at https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/nims/implementation-training (to include ICS - 1007 ICS -2007 IS -700, and IS -800 for most personnel) and ii.

In the absence of a valid claim of exemption from the audit requirements of 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F, the Subrecipient's failure to comply with said audit requirements may result in one or more of the following actions in the Department's sole discretion: a percentage of federal awards being withheld until the audit is completed in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F; the withholding or disallowing of overhead costs; the suspension of federal awards until the audit is conducted and submitted; or termination of the federal award.
