<br />A.6 CERTIFICATION REGARDING DEBARMENT, SUSPENSION, OR INELIGIBILITY
<br /> As federal funds are a basis for this Agreement, the Subrecipient certifies that the
<br />Subrecipient is not presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared
<br />ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participating in this Agreement by any federal
<br />department or agency.
<br /> The Subrecipient shall complete, sign, and return a Certification Regarding Debarment,
<br />Suspension, Ineligibility, and Voluntary Exclusion form located at
<br />http://mil.wa.gov/emergency-management-division/grants/requiredgrantforms. Any such
<br />form completed by the Subrecipient for this Agreement shall be incorporated into this
<br />Agreement by reference.
<br /> Further, the Subrecipient agrees to comply with all applicable federal regulations
<br />concerning the federal debarment and suspension system, including 2 CFR Part 180. The
<br />Subrecipient certifies that it will ensure that potential contractors or subrecipients or any
<br />of their principals are not debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared
<br />ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in “covered transactions” by any
<br />federal department or agency. “Covered transactions” include procurement contracts for
<br />goods or services awarded under a non-procurement transaction (e.g. grant or
<br />cooperative agreement) that are expected to equal or exceed $25,000, and subawards to
<br />subrecipients for any amount. With respect to covered transactions, the Subrecipient may
<br />comply with this provision by obtaining a certification statement from the potential
<br />contractor or subrecipient or by checking the System for Award Management
<br />(http://www.sam.gov) maintained by the federal government. The Subrecipient also
<br />agrees not to enter into any arrangements or contracts with any party on the Washington
<br />State Department of Labor and Industries’ “Debarred Contractor List”
<br />(http://www.lni.wa.gov/TradesLicensing/PrevWage/AwardingAgencies/DebarredContract
<br />ors/). The Subrecipient also agrees not to enter into any agreements or contracts for the
<br />purchase of goods and services with any party on the Department of Enterprise Services’
<br />Debarred Vendor List
<br />(http://www.des.wa.gov/services/ContractingPurchasing/Business/Pages/Vendor-
<br />Debarment.aspx).
<br />A.7 CERTIFICATION REGARDING RESTRICTIONS ON LOBBYING
<br />As required by 44 CFR Part 18, the Subrecipient hereby certifies that to the best of its
<br />knowledge and belief: (1) no federally appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid
<br />by or on behalf of the Subrecipient to any person for influencing or attempting to influence
<br />an officer or employee of an agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of
<br />Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection with the awarding of
<br />any federal contract, the making of any federal grant, the making of any federal loan, the
<br />entering into of any cooperative agreement, and the extension, continuation, renewal,
<br />amendment, or modification of any federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement;
<br />(2) that if any funds other than federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid
<br />to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any
<br />agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a
<br />Member of Congress in connection with this Agreement, grant, loan, or cooperative
<br />agreement, the Subrecipient will complete and submit Standard Form-LLL, “Disclosure
<br />Form to Report Lobbying,” in accordance with its instructions; (3) and that, as applicable,
<br />the Subrecipient will require that the language of this certification be included in the award
<br />documents for all subawards at all tiers (including sub-contracts, sub-grants, and contracts
<br />under grants, loans, and cooperative agreements) and that all sub-recipients shall certify
<br />and disclose accordingly. This certification is a material representation of fact upon which
<br />reliance was placed when this transaction was made or entered into, and is a prerequisite
<br />for making or entering into this transaction imposed by section 1352, title 31, U.S. Code.
