(b) Subrecipient shall keep and maintain public records required by DEO to perform Subrecipient's
responsibilities hereunder. Subrecipient shall, upon request from DEO's custodian of public records, provide
DEO with a copy of the requested records or allow the records to be inspected or copied within a reasonable
Page 7
time at a cost that does not exceed the cost provided by chapter 119, F.S., or as otherwise provided by law.
Subrecipient shall allow public access to all documents, papers, letters, or other materials made or received by
Subrecipient in conjunction with this Agreement, unless the records are exempt from section 24(a) of Article I
of the State Constitution and section 119.07(1), F.S. For records made or received by Subrecipient in conjunction
with this Agreement, Subrecipient shall respond to requests to inspect or copy such records in accordance with
chapter 119, F.S. For all such requests for records that are public records, as public records are defined in section
119.011, F.S., Subrecipient shall be responsible for providing such public records per the cost structure provided
in chapter 119, F.S., and in accordance with all other requirements of chapter 119, F.S., or as otherwise provided
by law.
(c) This Agreement may be terminated by DEO for refusal by Subrecipient to comply with Florida's
public records laws or to allow public access to any public record made or received by Subrecipient in
conjunction with this Agreement.
(d) If, for purposes of this Agreement, Subrecipient is a "contractor" as defined in section
119.0701(1)(a), F.S. ( "Subrecipient- contractor "), Subrecipient- contractor shall transfer to DEC, at no cost to
DEO, all public records upon completion including termination, of this Agreement, or keep and maintain public
records required by DEO to perform the service. If Subrecipient- contractor transfers all public records to the
public agency upon completion of the contract, the contractor shall destroy any duplicate public records that
are exempt or confidential and exempt from public records disclosure requirements. If Subrecipient- contractor
keeps and maintains public records upon completion of the contract, Subrecipient- contractor shall meet all
applicable requirements for retaining public records. All records stored electronically must be provided to DEC,
upon request from DEC's custodian of public records, in a format that is compatible with the information
technology systems of DEC.
(e) If DEO does not possess a record requested through a public records request, DEO shall notify
Subrecipient- contractor of the request as soon as practicable, and Subrecipient- contractor must provide the
records to DEO or allow the records to be inspected or copied within a reasonable time. If Subrecipient -
contractor does not comply with DEC's request for records, DEO shall enforce the provisions set forth in this
Agreement. A Subrecipient- contractor who fails to provide public records to DEO within a reasonable time may
be subject to penalties under section 119.10, F.S.

prevent misuse, regain possession, or otherwise protect the State's rights and the data subject's privacy.
Page 8
(g) Subrecipient acknowledges that DEO is subject to the provisions of chapter 119, F.S., relating to
public records and that reports, invoices, and other documents Subrecipient submits to DEO under this
Agreement constitute public records under Florida Statutes. Subrecipient shall cooperate with DEO regarding
DEO's efforts to comply with the requirements of chapter 119, F.S.
(h) If Subrecipient submits records to DEO that are confidential and exempt from public disclosure
as trade secrets or proprietary confidential business information, such records should be identified as such by
Subrecipient prior to submittal to DEO. Failure to identify the legal basis for each exemption from the
requirements of chapter 119, F.S., prior to submittal of the record to DEO serves as Subrecipient's waiver of a
claim of exemption. Subrecipient shall ensure that public records that are exempt or confidential and exempt
from public records disclosure requirements are not disclosed except as authorized by law for the duration of
the Agreement term and following completion of the Agreement if Subrecipient does not transfer the records
to DEO upon completion, including termination, of the Agreement.

by the negligent act or omission of the State or DEO.
Any Subrecipient which is a State agency or subdivision, as defined in section 768.28(2), F.S., shall
be fully responsible for its negligent or tortious acts or omissions which result in claims or suits against DEO and
shall be liable for any damages proximately caused by its acts or omissions to the extent set forth in section
768.28, F.S. Nothing herein is intended to serve as a waiver of sovereign immunity by any Subrecipient to which

employee or agent of DEO. DEO shall neither have nor exercise any control or direction over the methods by

Subrecipient's compensation hereunder. Subrecipient shall have no claim against DEO for vacation pay, sick

EXHIBIT 1 TO ATTACHMENT A
BUDGET DIRECTIONS
The following generally outlines budget categories and offers guidance for preparing the Budget Summary and
County Allocation, Exhibit 2 to Attachment A, of this Agreement and Subrecipient's detailed line -item budget.
In the event of any conflict between any portion of this Exhibit 1 to Attachment A, Budget Directions, and any
other part of this Agreement or Federal or State regulations or guidance, the terms of any other part of this
Agreement or Federal or State regulations or guidance shall prevail.
I. Project Budget:
Subrecipient shall perform the Weatherization Services in accordance with this Agreement and the project
budget, Budget Summary and County Allocation, attached hereto as Exhibit 2 to Attachment A.
Weatherization budget categories are defined as follows:
A. Administrative Cost (Admin): Administrative costs include, but are not limited to, all indirect costs,
telephone costs, a portion of professional staff salaries (to cover staff time when not carrying out the
functions allowable under program costs), salaries and fringe benefits of clerical staff, travel related to
administrative functions, and miscellaneous costs such as copying, office space, equipment and
supplies. Total administrative budget must not exceed 5% of the overall grant budget. Pursuant to DOE
program guidance, administrative costs over the allocated maximum may be included as program
support.
B. Liability Insurance: All allowable costs incurred by Subrecipient for Liability, Pollution Occurrence, and
Workers Compensation insurance for weatherization projects for personal injury and for property
damage.
C. Financial Audit: Unless financial audit costs are included in the indirect cost pool of a negotiated and
approved, indirect Federal cost rate, Subrecipient shall budget this expense in the "Financial Audit"
budget category.
D. Training and Technical Assistance: All allowable costs associated with approved inter- and intra -state
travel for training and technical assistance.
E. Materials: All allowable costs incurred by Subrecipient and Subrecipient's contractors for materials
installed in completed dwelling units, including materials for Heating and Ventilation Air Conditioning
Systems (HVAC).
Labor: All allowable crew and contractor labor, to include benefits, for the purpose of auditing,
inspecting, transporting or installing weatherization materials, making eligible repairs on weatherization
units and replacing heating systems; cost incurred by contractors to install materials, repair or replace
HVAC systems, or for contract labor to provide electrical or plumbing services.
G. Program Support (PS): All allowable costs incurred for Program Operations that are generally defined
as the direct costs necessary to effect the weatherization of an eligible dwelling unit (cost of doing
business), but not included in the material or labor costs. All program support charges are factored as a
part of the average cost per unit. For purposes of this Agreement, Program Support includes "related
matters," as that term is used in 10 C.F.R. part 440.
Page 40
H. Health and Safety: Health and Safety is for materials and labor costs and will not be calculated into the
per unit average like regular materials and labor. Costs incurred for materials and labor for Health and
Safety purposes must be reported under the Health and Safety budget line item.
The Health and Safety average per unit expenditure limit is set at 45% of the per unit average.
Subrecipient may exceed the 45% expenditure limit up to $5,000 per unit, only with prior, written
approval by DEC.
DEO will circulate a Health and Safety survey to Subrecipient on an annual basis to establish the costs
and frequency of measures installed. Upon circulation of the survey, Subrecipient may request
reallocation of excess Health and Safety funds to Materials, Labor or Program Support.
II. Cost Limits:
The DOE established, national average expenditure limit per dwelling unit is $7,212. This adjusted average
includes materials, labor, and program support costs amortized over completed production units. The
Average Cost Per Unit (ACPU) will be calculated and tracked during the FSR review process, based on the
following formula:
(Material Cost + Labor Cost + Program Support Cost)
# of Units weatherized = Total Monthly ACPU*
Note: The annual adjusted average cost per unit of $7,212 cannot be exceeded at the closeout of the
Agreement.
III. In submitting the monthly Financial Status Reports (FSR), Subrecipient may exceed the prescribed ACPU or
Admin percentage. However:
A. DEO will perform monthly desk audits and a mid - agreement period review of Subrecipient's adjusted
average cost per unit to -date and the admin percentage to date.
B. If Subrecipient exceeds either percentage on a FSR anytime during the Agreement period, it will be
notified and required to make adjustments in charging for activities in subsequent FSRs to ensure
compliance to adjusted averages and percentage limits at the end of the Agreement period.
C. Subrecipient is required to track all expenditures to ensure that only actual costs for allowable
expenditures are reported on the monthly FSR.
D. Subrecipients receiving an advance must make up the expenditure deficit in the following FSR.
IV. Subrecipient must complete and submit a Monthly Expenditure Tracking Sheet (METS) by the 21St day of
every month during the period of this Agreement. METS reporting requirements and corrective actions are
outlined in the Attachment C, Reports, of this Agreement.
V. To determine the allowable activities that may be charged to the PS and Admin category, refer to the
applicable (Non- Profit or Local Government) Guidance for Documentation and Support of Program
Support and Administrative Expenditures publication.
VI. If additional funding is provided to Subrecipient during this Agreement period, submission to DEO of a
revised Exhibit 2 to Attachment A, Budget Summary and County Allocations, is required.

However, any advance payment under this Agreement is subject to s. 216.181(16), Florida Statutes. To ensure
compliance with this directive:
a) DEO will compare the advance amount received by Subrecipient with the total to date expended
amount on Subrecipient's second FSR to determine if an amount equal to the advance amount received
has been expended.
Page 50
b) If Subrecipient has not expended an amount equal to the initial advance, DEO staff will contact
Subrecipient to determine if there is a reasonable justification for not meeting this goal. That
justification along with any supporting documentation shall be submitted in writing to DEO for review.
c) If the justification is not approved, an adjustment may be made to Subrecipient's reimbursement
request amount on Subrecipient's second FSR. The requested reimbursement amount may be reduced
by the unexpended balance remaining on the advance. This reduction will reduce the cash advance
amount Subrecipient will have on hand to meet expenditures.
d) DEO will track the monthly expenditure amount of Subrecipient through the remainder of the
Agreement period. If Subrecipient fails to demonstrate the need for the advance amount provided over
the course of two consecutive FSRs, an adjustment to the latest FSR reimbursement request may be
made.
e) Subrecipient's performance and compliance to the advance expenditure requirement during this
Agreement will be taken into consideration for any advances requested in future agreements.
JUSTIFICATION STATEMENT
[Please insert or attach a justification statement as required by subparagraph (4)(b) of this Agreement if an
advance payment for more than 60 days of funding is requested.]
