The purpose of the Transparency Act is to make information available online so the public can see how the federal funds are s pent. To comply with this act and be eligible to perform the activities in th is statement of work, the Subrecipient must have a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS®) number. Information about the Subrecipient and this statement of work will be made available on https://www.usaspending.gov by DOH as required by P.L. 109-282. *Program Specific Requirements/Narrative Contract Noncompliance and Corrective Action (see CFR § 200.338 Remedies for noncompliance) The Subrecipient must meet the required set of acceptable deliverables/outcomes a nd adhere to contractual obligations. The contract’s acceptable deliverables/outcomes along with specified due dates will be determined by the DOH SNAP -Ed program and provided to the Subrecipient in writing. Based on contract performance (as documented in progress reviews, progress reports, project monitoring reports, and fiscal monitoring reports) and after implementation of other specific conditions as appropriate listed in CFR § 200.207 - Specific conditions (see https://www.govregs.com/regulations/2/200.207), DOH reserves the right to withhold up to 10% of funds from the next applicable payment to the Subrecipient for deliverables/outcomes that are documented as consistently incomplete; conti nually late (without approved extension by DOH in writing); found to be unacceptable or unsatisfactory according to the standards of acceptable deliverables/outcomes outlined in the Statement of Work; or, not c arried out sufficiently or consistently and documented as such. After DOH SNAP -Ed provides documentation of the issue(s) and outlines the appropriate corrective action in writing, and with approval from t he DOH SNAP-Ed program manager, the first withholding of funds up to 10% would occur one time and allow 60 days for the appropriate corrective action to be completed by the Subrecipient. If satisfactory corrective action is completed within 60 days, the funds withheld will be released to the Subrecipient. If satis factory corrective action does not take place within 60 days, up to 5% of funds will be withheld from each subsequent monthly payment until the appropriate corrective action is comp leted. If satisfactory corrective action is completed after the 60-day window, the initial 10% of funds withheld will not be provided as reimbursement to the Subrecipient as penalty. The subsequent monthly withholdings (of up to 5% per month) will be reimbursed to the Subrecipient upon satisfactory completion of the corrective action. The Subrecipient may request reconsideration by submitting a letter to Washington Department of Health SNAP -Education, PO Box 47886, Olympia, WA 98504 -7886, or in writing via email to snap-ed@doh.wa.gov. All invoices must be approved by DOH prior to payment; approval will not be unreasonably withheld. DOH will authorize payment only upon satisfactory and on -time completion of acceptance deliverables/outcomes and for allowable costs as outlined in the SNAP -Ed federal guidance, statement of work, state plan, and/or budget. DOH will return all incorrect or incomplete invoices and will not pay for services that occur outside the period of performance or that are deeme d unallowable costs. Additional Details Regarding Deliverables Required deliverables for SNAP-Ed reporting will depend on approved SNAP -Ed plan activities for each Subrecipient, e.g. if direct education is not an approved plan activity for a Subrecipient, submission of pre/post surveys is not a required deliverable for that Subrecipient. To attend required trainings during fiscal year, the Subrecipient must use the travel funds within their current allotted budget to send the minimum number of one (1) staff person to the required training. The S ubrecipient may request additional travel funds from DOH for required training(s) if necessary and if funds are available. Monitoring Expectations The Subrecipient’s premises and records will be made available upon request to DOH, DSHS, and USDA staff for the purposes of observing project activities and reviewing for project and fiscal compliance. All non-capital equipment, capital equipment, reusable educational materials and supplies, and any non -disposable items purchased using SNAP-Ed funds should be tracked in an inventory list and available for review upon request. Based on fiscal and project monitoring results or findings, additional monitoring during the fiscal year may be required at the discretion of the DOH SNAP -Ed program, DOH fiscal analyst, or DOH fiscal monitoring unit. Completed project and fiscal monitoring reports with suggestions, observations, comments, feedback, findings, and/or corrective action will be kept on file at DOH and shared with Subrecipients regularly and by request.
