OMB Circular A- Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Agreements With Institutions of Higher 110 Education, Hospitals, and Other NonProfit Organizations Assistance to Firefighters Grant Application and Assurances contained therein. • Article XII-Audit Requirements All grantees must follow the audit requirements of OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. The main requirement of this OMB Circular is that grantees that expend $500,000.00 or more in Federal funds (from all Federal sources) must have a single audit performed in accordance with the circular. As a condition of receiving funding under this grant program, you must agree to maintain grant files and supporting documentation for three years upon the official closeout of your grant. You must also agree to make your grant files, books, and records available for an audit by DHS, the General Accounting Office (GAO), or their duly authorized representatives to assess the accomplishments of the grant program or to ensure compliance with any requirement of the grant program. Article XIII-Additional Requirements (if applicable) Vehicle Awardees: Vehicle awardees for-FY 2008 will be required to include an advance payment bond as part of the contract with their vehicle manufacturer. An advance payment bond is like an insurance policy that protects you in the event that the manufacturer with whom you contracted to build your vehicle cannot fulfill the contract, i.e., cannot finish building your vehicle for any reason. An advance payment bond is a financial tool used to guarantee that , in the event of manufacturer/contractor default, funds will be available to finish the construction of your vehicle and ensure its proper operation. From the vehicle grantee's point of view, the insolvency of a contractor during the construction of a vehicle will most likely result in delayed completion of the vehicle, additional expenses for a different manufacturer/contractor to finish the work, or even loss of grant funds. For this reason, we now require manufacturers/contractors to provide a bond from an independent bank, insurance company or bonding agency so that the vehicle grantees can recover damages they may sustain if the manufacturer/contractors default during the construction of a vehicle. The amount of the bond should be equal to, or greater than, the sum of any payments, compensation and/or consideration provided prior to the delivery of the vehicle. If no down payment is required in the purchase contract, an advance payment bond is not required. Regardless of whether a performance bond is obtained, each vehicle purchase contract must include a performance clause. The performance clause stipulates a certain date when the vehicle will be delivered by the https://portal.fema.gov/firegrant/j sp/fire_admin/awards/spec/view_award_package.do?agree... 1/5/2009 Panel Review Page 7 of 8 • vendor. If the vendor does not deliver the vehicle by the date stipulated in the performance clause, penalties are • administered to the vendor. These penalties should be of a severity sufficient to provide the vendor with incentive to deliver the vehicle at the earliest possible date but no less than $100 per day. Regional Hosts: Grantees that are the hosts of regional projects as provided for in the annual program guidance are accountable for the equipment purchased with grant funds and disbursed to other first-responder organizations under a memorandum of understanding. Responsibility for maintenance of the equipment may be placed in the hands of the recipient if specifically delineated in the memorandum of understanding between the host and the recipient. • Modification to Facilities Requirements: - • Modification to facility projects (including renovations associated with equipment installations) are subject to all applicable environmental and historic preservation requirements. Applicants seeking assistance to modify their facilities or to install equipment requiring renovations may undergo additional screening. Specifically, OHS is required to ascertain to what degree the proposed modifications and renovations might affect an applicant's facility relative to the National Environmental Policy Act, National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, National Flood Insurance Program regulations, and any other applicable laws and Executive Orders. No project that involves a modification to facility can proceed—except for project planning —prior to formal written approval from DHS. If your award includes a modification to afacility, you are responsible for contacting the Program Office so you can be given direction on how to proceed; your contact in the AFG Program Office is Stephen.pezzetti@dhs.gov. Noncompliance with these provisions may jeopardize an applicant's award and subsequent funding. Grants Management Adjustments to Original Application (if applicable): • • • This grant award was reduced by $39,560. The approved quantity for SCBAs is 220 not 223 as requested in the initial application. The approved quantity for PASS devices is 220 not 258 as requested in the initial application. The reduction has already been made in the grant award and in the application as approved by Melissa Bates via email on 12/13/2008.
