limited to, all criteria, restrictions, and requirements of The Department of <br />Homeland Security (OHS) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) Fiscal Year <br />2019 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) document, the OHS <br />Award Letter for Grant No. EMS-2019-EP-00003-S01 in Exhibit F, and the <br />federal regulations commonly applicable to DHS/FEMA grants. <br />iii. The Subrecipient shall be responsible to the Department for ensuring that all <br />19EMPG federal award funds provided to its subreclpients, and associated <br />matching funds, are used in accordance with applicable federal and state <br />statutes and regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award set <br />forth in Exhibit F of this Agreement. <br />2. BUDGET, REIMBURSEMENT, AND TIMELINE <br />a. Within the total Grant Agreement Amount, travel, subcontracts, salaries, benefits, printing, <br />equipment, and other goods and services or other budget categories will be reimbursed <br />on an actual cost basis upon completion unless otherwise provided In this Agreement. <br />b. The maximum amount of all reimbursement requests permitted to be submitted under this <br />Agreement, including the final reimbursement request, is limited to and shall not exceed <br />the total Grant Agreement Amount. <br />c. If the Subrecipient chooses to include indirect costs within the Budget (Exhibit E), an <br />· indirect cost rate agre·ement negotiated· between the federal cognizant agency and the· <br />Subrecipient establishing approved Indirect cost rate(s) as described In 2 CFR 200.414 <br />and Appendix VII to 2 CFR 200 must be submitted to the Department Key Personnel. <br />However, under 2 CFR 200.414(f), if the Subrecipient has never received a negotiated <br />indirect cost rate agreement establishing federally negotiated rate(s), the Subrecipient <br />may negotiate a rate with the Department or charge a de minim is rate of 10% of modified <br />total direct costs. The Subrecipient's actual indirect cost rate may vary from the approved <br />rate but must not exceed the approved negotiated indirect cost rate percentage for the <br />time period of the expenditures. If a Subrecipient chooses to charge the 10% de minimis <br />rate, but did not charge Indirect costs to previous subawards, a request for approval to <br />charge indirect costs must be submitted to the Department Key Personnel for approval <br />with an explanation for the change. <br />d. For travel costs, the Subrecipient shall comply with 2 CFR 200.474 and should consult <br />their internal policies, state rates set pursuant to RCW 43.03.050 and RCW 43.03.060 as <br />now existing or amended, and federal maximum rates set forth at http://www.gsa.gov, and <br />follow the most restrictive. If travel costs exceed set state or federal limits, travel costs <br />shall not be reimbursed without written approval by Department Key Personnel. <br />e. Reimbursement requests will include a properly completed State A-19 Invoice Form and <br />Reimbursement Spreadsheet (in the format provided by the Department) detailing the <br />expenditures for which reimbursement is sought. Reimbursement requests must be <br />submitted to Reimbursements@mll.wa .gov no later than the due dates listed within the <br />Timeline (Exhibit D). <br />Reimbursement request totals should be commensurate to the time spent processing by <br />the Subreclpient and the Department. <br />f. Receipts and/or backup documentation for any approved items that are authorized under <br />this Agreement must be maintained by the Subreciptent consistent with record retention <br />requirements of this Agreement and be made available upon request by the Department <br />and auditors. <br />g. The Subrecipient should request prior written approval from Department Key Personnel <br />to waive the due date in the Tlmeline (Exhibit D) and, once approved, submit those costs <br />on the next scheduled reimbursement due date contained in the Timeline. Waiving or <br />missing deadlines serves as an indicator for assessing an agency's level of risk of <br />noncompliance with the regulations, requirements, and the terms and conditions of the <br />agreement and may increase required monitoring activities. Any request for a waiver or <br />extension of a due date in the Timeline (Exhibit D) will be treated as a request for <br />DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY 19 Page 3 of 34 Kittitas County Sheriff's Office, E20-156
