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 20EMPG 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) 2020 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) document, the FEMA Preparedness
Grants Manual document, the DHS Award Letter for Grant No. EMS-2020-EP-00002-S01, and the federal
regulations commonly applicable to DHSIFEMA grants, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. The
DHS Award Letter is incorporated in this Agreement as Attachment F.
The Subrecipient acknowledges that since this Agreement involves federal award funding, the performance
period described herein 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 20EMPG funds received under this Agreement casts the
party receiving the funds in the role of a subrecipient or contractor in accordance with 2
CFR 200.330.
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 20EMPG funds, including, but not limited to, those
contained in 2 CFR 200.
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY20 Page 2 of 34 City of Kent EMD, E21-125
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 20EMPG 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) 2020 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) document, the
DHS Award Letter for Grant No. EMS-2020-EP-00002-S01 in Attachment F, and
the federal regulations commonly applicable to DHS/FEMA grants.
The Subrecipient shall be responsible to the Department for ensuring that all
20EMPG 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 F 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 E), an
indirect cost rate agreement negotiated between the federal cognizant agency and the
Subrecipient establishing approved indirect cost rate(s) as described in 2 CFR 200.414
and Appendix VII to 2 CFR 200 must be submitted to the Department Key Personnel.
However, under 2 CFR 200.414 (f), if the Subrecipient has never received a negotiated
indirect cost rate agreement establishing federally negotiated rate(s), the Subrecipient
may negotiate a rate with the Department or charge a de minimis rate of 10% of modified
total direct costs. The Subrecipient's actual indirect cost rate may vary from the approved
rate but must not exceed the approved negotiated indirect cost rate percentage for the
time period of the expenditures. if a Subrecipient chooses to charge the 10% de minimis
rate, but did not charge indirect costs to previous subawards, a request for approval to
charge indirect costs must be submitted to the Department Key Personnel for approval
with an explanation for the change.
d. For travel costs, the Subrecipient shall comply with 2 CFR 200.474 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 http://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 md,wa. ov no later than the due dates listed within the
Timeline (Attachment D).
Reimbursement request totals should be commensurate to the time spent processing by
the Subrecipient and the Department.
f. 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 D) and, once approved, submit
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY20 Page 3 of 34 City of Kent EMD, E21-125
those costs on the next scheduled 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 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
budget categories, as identified in the Budget (Attachment E), to exceed 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 C) 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. In conjunction with the final report, the Subrecipient shall submit a separate report detailing
how the EMPG Training requirements were met for all personnel funded by federal or

DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY20 Page 5 of 34 City of Kent EMD, E21-125
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
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

Allowable categories for the EMPG Program are listed on the Authorized Equipment List
(AEL) located on the FEMA website at hftr):Ilwww.fema.gov/authorized-equipment-li . 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 and 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 EMPG, the Subrecipient must
contact the Department Key Personnel for assistance in seeking FEMA approval prior 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.

DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY20
Page 6 of 34 City of Kent EMD, E21-125
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
projects started before completion of the EHP review process and receipt of approval by
the Subrecipient will not be reimbursed.

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:
i. Review of financial and performance reports
ii. Monitoring and documenting the completion of Agreement deliverables

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 VI)
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
13166, Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency (August
11, 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 htts://www.dhs. ov/ uidance- ublished-hel -
de artment-su orted-or anizations- rovide-meanin ful-access- eo le -limited and
additional resources on http.,//www.lep.-q .
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 FY 2020 federal preparedness funding, to include EMPG, the
Subrecipient will ensure all NIMS objectives have been initiated and/or are in progress
toward completion. NIMS Implementation Objectives are located at
https://www.fema-clov/media-library/assets/documents)i3O743.
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.

and approved in the application and documented in the Budget (Attachment E). To meet matching
requirements, the Subrecipient's cash matching contributions must be considered 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.
4. If funding is allocated to emergency communications, the Subrecipient must ensure that all
