Based on EPA's review of the planned budget,this award does not meet the condition above and is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE)Program. However, if during the performance of the award the total of all funds expended for direct procurement by the recipient and procurement under subawards or loans in the "Other"category exceeds$150,000, annual reports will be required in accordance with the reporting paragraph below and you are required to notify your grant specialist for additional instructions. The recipient also agrees to request prior approval from EPA for procurements that may activate DBE Program reporting requirements. This provision represents an approved deviation from the MBE/WBE reporting requirements as described in 40 CFR,Part 33, Section 33.502;however,the other requirements outlined in 40 CFR Part 33 remain in effect, including the Good Faith Efforts requirements as described in 40 CFR Part 33 Subpart C and Fair Share Objectives negotiation as described in 40 CFR Part 33 Subpart D and explained below. MBE/WBE REPORTING,40 CFR,Part 33, Subpart E When required,MBE/WBE reports must be submitted annually.

If no budgeted procurements take place during the reporting period,the recipient should check the box in section 5B when completing the form.

In accordance with 40 CFR, Section 33.411 some recipients may be exempt from the fair share objectives requirements as described in 40 CFR, Part 33, Subpart D. Recipients should work with their DBE coordinator, if they think their organization may qualify for an exemption.

The recipient accepts the applicable MBE/WBE fair share objectives/goals negotiated with EPA by the FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION as follows: MBE: CONSTRUCTION 9%; SUPPLIES 9%; SERVICES 9%; EQUIPMENT 9% WBE: CONSTRUCTION 3%; SUPPLIES 3%; SERVICES 3%; EQUIPMENT 3"/0 By signing this financial assistance agreement,the recipient is accepting the fair share objectives/goals stated above and attests to the fact that it is purchasing the same or similar construction, supplies,services and equipment, in the same or similar relevant geographic buying market as the FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION. Negotiating Fair Share Objectives/Goals,40 CFR, Section 33.404 The recipient has the option to negotiate its own MBE/WBE fair share objectives/goals. If the recipient wishes to negotiate its own MBE/WBE fair share objectives/goals,the recipient agrees to submit proposed MBE/WBE objectives/goals based on an availability analysis, or disparity study, of qualified MBEs and WBEs in their relevant geographic buying market for construction, services, supplies and equipment. The submission of proposed fair share goals with the supporting analysis or disparity study means that the recipient is not accepting the fair share objectives/goals of another recipient.The recipient agrees to submit proposed fair share objectives/goals,together with the supporting availability analysis or disparity study,to the Regional MBE/WBE Coordinator within 120 days of its acceptance of the fins cial i. assistance award.

Records . documenting compliance with the six good faith efforts shall be retained: (a)Ensure DBEs are made aware of contracting opportunities to the fullest extent practicable through outreach and recruitment activities. For Indian Tribal, State and Local and Government recipients,this will include placing DBEs on solicitation lists and soliciting them whenever they are potential sources.

This includes, whenever possible, posting solicitations for bids or proposals for a minimum of 30 calendar days before the bid or proposal closing date. (c) Consider in the contracting process whether firms competing for large contracts could subcontract with DBEs. For Indian Tribal, State and local Government recipients,this will include dividing total requirements when economically feasible into smaller tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by DBEs in the competitive process. (d)Encourage contracting with a consortium of DBEs when a contract is too large for one of these firms to handle individually.
