<br />A.5 APPLICATION REPRESENTATION-MISREPRESENTATION, INACCURACY AND BREACH
<br />The DEPARTMENT relies upon the SUBRECIPIENT's application in making its determinations as to
<br />eligibility for, selection for, and scope of funding grants. Any misrepresentation, error or inaccuracy in
<br />any part of the application may be deemed a breach of this Agreement.
<br />A.6 ASSURANCES
<br />DEPARTMENT and SUBRECIPIENT agree that all activity pursuant to this Agreement will be in
<br />accordance with all the applicable current federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations. In
<br />addition, as a SUBRECIPIENT of FEMA funding, the SUBRECIPEINT shall comply with all applicable
<br />DHS terms and conditions as specified in Appendix F of the Washington State Public Assistance
<br />Applicant Manual dated March 22, 2020 incorporated in this Agreement as Attachment 4.
<br />A.7 CERTIFICATION REGARDING DEBARMENT, SUSPENSION, OR INELIGIBILITY
<br />As federal funds are a basis for this Agreement, the SUBRECIPIENT certifies that the SUBRECIPIENT
<br />is not presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily
<br />excluded from participating in this Agreement by any federal department or agency.
<br />The SUBRECIPIENT shall complete, sign, and return a Certification Regarding Debarment,
<br />Suspension, Ineligibility, and Voluntary Exclusion form located at http://mil.wa.gov/emergency-
<br />management-division/requiredgrantforms. Any such form completed by the SUBRECIPIENT for this
<br />Agreement shall be incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
<br />Further, the SUBRECIPIENT agrees to comply with all applicable federal regulations concerning the
<br />federal debarment and suspension system, including 2 CFR Part 180. The SUBRECIPIENT certifies
<br />that it will ensure that potential sub-contractors or sub-recipients or any of their principals are not
<br />debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from
<br />participation in “covered transactions” by any federal department or agency. “Covered transactions”
<br />include procurement contracts for goods or services awarded under a non-procurement transaction
<br />(e.g. grant or cooperative agreement) that are expected to equal or exceed $25,000, and sub-awards to
<br />sub-recipients for any amount. With respect to covered transactions, the SUBRECIPIENT may comply
<br />with this provision by obtaining a certification statement from the potential sub-contractor or sub-
<br />recipient or by checking the System for Award Management (http://www.sam.gov) maintained by the
<br />federal government. The SUBRECIPIENT also agrees not to enter into any arrangements or contracts
<br />with any party on the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries’ “Debarred Contractor List”
<br />(http://www.lni.wa.gov/TradesLicensing/PrevWage/AwardingAgencies/DebarredContractors/).
<br />A.8 CERTIFICATION REGARDING RESTRICTIONS ON LOBBYING
<br />As required by 44 CFR Part 18, the SUBRECIPIENT hereby certifies that to the best of their knowledge
<br />and belief: (1) no federally appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid by or on behalf of the
<br />SUBRECIPIENT to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of an
<br />agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of
<br />Congress in connection with the awarding of any federal contract, the making of any federal grant, the
<br />making of any federal loan, the entering into of any cooperative agreement, and the extension,
<br />continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of any federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative
<br />agreement; (2) that if any funds other than federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid to
<br />any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a Member of
<br />Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection
<br />with this Agreement, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement, the SUBRECIPIENT will complete and
<br />submit Standard Form-LLL, “Disclosure Form to Report Lobbying,” in accordance with its instructions;
<br />(3) and that, as applicable, the SUBRECIPIENT will require that the language of this certification be
<br />included in the award documents for all subawards at all tiers (including sub-contracts, sub-grants, and
<br />contracts under grants, loans, and cooperative agreements) and that all sub-recipients shall certify and
<br />disclose accordingly.
<br />This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when this
<br />transaction was made or entered into, and is a prerequisite for making or entering into this transaction
<br />imposed by section 1352, title 31, U.S. Code.
