ITEM BACKGROUND: Staff seeks approval to advertise for the competitive solicitation of professional Grant Management Services for the CDBG Voluntary Home Buyout Program to be funded through a grant agreement with the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity. The Request for Proposal must meet all federal procurement requirements and be in compliance with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development standards. Hurricane Irma, a Category 4 hurricane, made landfall in the Florida Keys on September 10, 2017, causing the destruction or major damage to over 4000 homes. Congress appropriated $616 Million for the State of Florida in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma. The Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) developed a Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Action Plan and allocated $75 Million for the Voluntary Home Buyout Program (VHBP). On November 26, 2019, DEO transmitted the award letter announcing a $15 Million allocation to the Monroe County VHBP. On March 13, 2020, DEO transmitted the Sub-applicant Agreement for execution by the BOCC. This program does not require a local match. The purpose of the CDBG-DR Voluntary Home Buyout Program is to acquire properties that are in high-risk areas to help reduce the impact of future disasters, and to assist property owners to relocate to less risk prone areas. These funds will support property acquisition, structure demolition and conversion of the land to open space or storm water improvements that alleviate flooding. The property must be deed-restricted in perpetuity to open space uses or to restore and/or conserve the natural floodplain functions. Program Parameters detailed in the DEO State Action Plan are as follows: Packet Pg.730 D.5 State of Fibrida Action faf frirDisaster Recovery y Or Untary Ho-� PLIYO t Program Reducing the risk of flooding in residential areas is a priorit•ya for the State of Florida.The Florida Division of Emergency Management(FDEM) has recommended that all counties focus on acquisition of properties,without flood insurance in Special Flood Hazard Areas. Recognizing this great need,DED will create a voluntary home buyout program to encourage risk reduction through the acquisition of residential property in high flood risk areas. DEC wd]hire a contracted team to work with counties vaho are interested in pursuing the buyout projects to support and provide:: ■ Appraisals ■ Title and legal services • Homeowner counseling services ■ Environmental review,and ■ Related buyout processes. Counties that are interested in partilcipatingwill have two potential funding options for pursuing home buyout. The first option is to leverage DDeB+ -DR funding as match for projects that are also eligible for the Hazard Mitigation Grant Prograrn(HMGP)•n The second option is to work directly with DaEO on projects located in low- and moderate-income areas to buyout residential areas in support of permanent open space supporting green infrastructure or other flaadplain management systems. DEC will prioritize home buyout projects that focus on the acquisition of concentrations of residential areas that meet lobs and moderate income area requirements.The CD3G DR.driven buyout program will be required to meet a low-moderate area (L VIA)benefit for funding so that DEC meets or exceeds its overall law-and moderate income support requirements.. Cities and counties that are interested in this program will work with the DED contracted team to determine feasibility of the project.Once a project is determined feasible'.,it will be eligible for funding in this program.. Local governments are encouraged to leverage snatching funds udder this programs and will also be eligible to include homeowner incenti;vesto encourage relocation.. Additional criteria for the both homeowner buyout program options,including a process reap for coordination wilth the Florida Division of Emergency Management will be detailed in Horne Buyout Program guidance to be released after the approval of this action plan..DED will manage subrecipient agreements directly with eligible local governments and coordinate with our partners.at FDEM on project application eval uction,required environmental and cultural resource reviews and program implementation,where applicable. For all propert¢es acquired by subrec:ipientsthrough the Voluntary Horne Buyout Program, a restrictive covenant, un perpetuity(i.e.runniing with the land),prohibiting all future redevelopment of the site must be recorded upon closing of the transaction. New development.would be on an alternative site that is less at risk of flooding and would be built to building code,elevation standards,and meet requirements of CDBD-DER. Properties that have received rehab or repairs through the Housing Repair Program will not be eligible for assistance under the Voluntaryr Home Buyout Program However,on a case-by-case basis, housing units that have been demolished through the voluntary Horne Buyout Program may be eligible for new construction/replacernent,in an area other than the buyout zone,through the Hone Repair Program at DEO's discretion-No specific site or property needs to be acquired,although DED may limit its search for alternative sites to a general geogra phic area.'adhere DED wishes to purchase mare than one site balthin a general geographic area can this basis,all owners are to be treated.similarly..The property to be acquired is not part of an Packet Pg.731 D.5 intended,planned,or designated project area where all or substantially ail of the property within the area is to be ac mired within specific time limits..DEO will not acquire the property if negotiations fail to result in an amicable agreerr,ent,and the owner is so informed in writing.

Monroe County currently has a list of 62 homeowners who may be interested in participating in the Voluntary Home Buyout Program. With an average project cost of $380,000 per unit, Monroe County anticipates purchasing approximately forty (40) homes. HUD requirements mandate the use of competitively bid grant administrative services to process homes for purchase by the County. We request approval to solicit these services through a competitively solicited Request for Proposal in compliance with federal procurement requirements. This RFP was approved by DEO as required by the CDBG-DR VHBP requirements on April 16, 2020. We anticipate the total cost of title and legal services not to exceed $909,000. All costs associated with grant administrative services are eligible for CDBG-DR Voluntary Home Buyout Program funding. There should be no additional or matching costs to the County. The RFPs attached to this agenda item are in draft form. Minor edits and changes may be made to the RFPs as needed.

When city and county governments are applying for the Low-and Moderate-Income (LMI) Area Benefit Program, at least 51% of the households in that area must meet the low and moderate e median income of that area, as defined by HUD. When applying for the LMI Household Program, all CL CO households must meet the LMI median income of that area. Q. How will it be determined which applications are awarded funding? CO A. All applications will be scored using the scoring methodology outlined in the Program guidebook. Awards are determined by those scores, awarding first to those who have scored the highest and N subsequent awards going to those who have scored second highest and so on. Q. How will DEO evaluate local government's applications? E A. DEO will rate all subrecipient applications by a process using a scoring method based on: • Low- and moderate-income persons; Packet Pg.751 Re Fo • Households that are occupied by a disabled individual, and persons that are 62 years of age and older; • Benefit target areas; • Activity need and justification; • Cost reasonableness and effectiveness; • Environmental justice; and application completion. c Q. What professional services may be procured to achieve success for the Program? Q A. Local governments are responsible to hire contract teams that are licensed in the state of Florida to provide the following: • Appraisals; • Title and legal services; • Environmental reviews; • Demolition of the property; and • Other related buyout processes. 0 Q. Are there any types of ownership that are ineligible for the Program? A. Yes, the following types of ownership are ineligible for the Program: 0. • Applicants who lost ownership of their home due to foreclosure; CL • Applicants who have outstanding judgments or lawsuits that would prevent the issuance of a clear title on the property. Cr y Q. Who is responsible for the property after the Buyout or Acquisition is completed? °' A. The Local entity is responsible for the property after the buyout or acquisition is completed. For Buyouts, the property must be maintained in perpetuity for open space, recreation, wetland or flood control and limited structures may be erected. Q. Is a property appraisal required? A. Yes. The property value, either current or pre-event depending upon ownership status at the time of Hurricane Irma, must be derived from a method that results in a reasonable determination of Fair Market Value (FMV). The value for each property identified for buyout will be established by the subrecipient based on the pre-event FMV, minus any Duplication of Benefits (DOB) for CL 0 applicants that owned the property at the time of the disaster. Owners that purchased the property ca after the date of the disaster will be limited to the price the owner paid for the property, which is not to exceed the pre-event FMV. If repairs have been made to the property, eligible repair receipts are added to the post-event price of the buyout. ca Q. What if the property owner disagrees with the appraiser's determination for market value? N A. If the property owner disagrees with the appraisal, the property owner may, at their expense, have a second appraisal performed. The Program shall not reimburse the owner for the second appraisal. In the event of a pre-storm disaster appraisal, the Program can determine in policy if they want to accept an independent appraisal for a third-party transaction—like a refinancing—that was done relatively close in time to the storm as an appeal Packet Pg.752 Re Q. Does the Duplication of Benefits review apply? A. Yes, under the Stafford Act: Sec. 312 — Duplication of benefits (DOB), any agency administering a federal grant must ensure that their assistance does not duplicate the benefits of any other assistance. If duplicate funding is discovered, the amount of the buyout award shall be decreased. Q. How can Duplication of Benefits be prevented? c A. Property flood claim damage payments can be verified by the National Flood Insurance Program and a thorough review of the applicant's information will be conducted and evaluated. Q. Is an environmental review necessary? A. Yes, the subrecipient is responsible for conducting environmental reviews or causing such 0) CD reviews to occur through contracted providers of environmental services. The subrecipient will be responsible for ensuring that all reviews are completed on all properties, including damaged properties that are to be acquired by the local government as well as properties to be obtained by the seller through the housing replacement assistance. 0 Q. Is a damage assessment required? A. Yes, an assessment by a certified or licensed inspector (HQS, TREC, or similar license) is required to specifically and clearly document storm related property damage via photographic evidence and CL detailed narratives. 0 Q. If a homeowner has negative equity on their mortgage, can they still participate in the Program? Cr A. Participation in the Program requires a clear title. If a clear title cannot be obtained, then the °' property does not qualify for the Program. Q. Who is responsible for the demolition? A. The local Program is responsible for the demolition of improvements on the property, but it is an allowable expense under the CDBG-DR Program. Q.

The subrecipient must develop and implement URA policies and procedures and ensure that all required notices, services and payments afforded to tenants qualified under URA are provided in a timely manner. Q. Can Housing Replacement Assistance be provided? Packet Pg.753 Re Fo A. Yes, all property owners participating in the buyout are eligible for up to the maximum housing replacement assistance allowed by the Robert T. Stafford Act. All income-qualified buyout participants are eligible for up to $25,000 in the housing replacement assistance plus pre-event ca market value of their buyout home.Those that are not income qualified will be eligible for up to $10,000 in housing replacement allowance only if the damaged property is located within the designated area. Q. If a homeowner demolished the home after the event, but applies to the buyout program, can the . lot/home be purchased if they can prove the home previously existed? 0) A. Yes, the subrecipient can purchase the home.The use of the County Appraisal District's records could be used to establish a value. Q. Can funding be applied only for new projects, or can existing projects be funded? A. Applicants have two options.The first option is to leverage CDBG-DR funding as a match for existing FEMA HMGP projects. The second option is to apply for properties that that can be identified as LMI Area Benefit where at least 51%of the residents are LMI persons, and/or apply for the LMI Households that will also be required to participate in the replacement housing incentive program in order to meet the National Objective.

CL 0 0 Packet Pg.756 D.5.c Pe Voluntary Home Buyout Program Guidelines Florid Introduction CJ 0 Ch The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity(DEO) Office of Disaster Recovery(ODR) is the administrator of a Community Development Block Grant—Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) program funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban development (HUD) under Public Laws 115-56 and 115-123. DEO is the agency responsible for the administration of disaster funds allocated to housing, economic development, and infrastructure activities. DEO is administering Rebuild Florida's Voluntary Home Buyout Program. The purpose of Rebuild Florida's CDBG-DR Voluntary Home Buyout Program is to acquire E properties that are in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), and in high-risk flood areas to help reduce the impact of future disasters, and to assist property owners to relocate outside the threat of flooding. To administer this program, city and county governments that are within the Most Impacted and Distressed (MID)areas, as defined by HUD and DEO in the 2018 State of Florida Action Plan for Disaster Recovery, may apply. There are two options for cities and counties to apply for assistance under the Rebuild Florida Voluntary Home Buyout Program. The first option is to use the available CDBG-DR funding as leverage to match funding for projects that are also eligible for the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). The second option is to work with the cities and counties directly in low-to moderate-income areas to acquire contiguous 0. parcels of properties, and to acquire property from low-to moderate- income households (LMH)with a focus CL on LMH that did not have flood insurance at the time of Hurricane Irma. 0 Cities or counties participating in this program must purchase properties at the pre-event fair market value �+ m (FMV)of the land and the structure for all sellers that were owners of the property at the time of Hurricane Cr Irma. For all sellers that own the property post Hurricane Irma, post-event FMV must be used to purchase the property and may not exceed the pre-event FMV and properties located in the designated area must be deed-restricted to remain green space in perpetuity. In addition to the pre-event FMV of the property, eligible owners with qualified income may also receive a housing replacement assistance incentive up to $25,000, and owners with non-qualified income may receive a housing replacement allowance up to $10,000. All T awards are subject to the Robert T. Stafford Act, requiring that all funds used for disaster-related purposes be deducted as a duplication of benefit, which is discussed in greater detail below. 0 Definitions • "CDBG-DR"means Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery. • "100-year flood plain"means the geographical area defined by FEMA as having a one percent chance of being inundated by a flooding event in any given year. CL • "500-year flood plain"means the geographical area defined by FEMA as having a 0.2 percent chance of being inundated by a flooding event in any given year. • "Duplication of Benefits" (DOB) means any assistance provided to a homeowner for the same purpose (i.e., for repair, replacement or reconstruction) as any previous financial or in- kind assistance provided to a property owner for the repair, replacement, or reconstruction of his or her home. Rebuild Florida is prohibited from creating a DOB. This prohibition comes from the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Assistance and Emergency Relief Act (Stafford Act)and therefore, these other sources of funds must be deducted from any potential award. • "Pre-event fair market value"means the land and dwelling value for parcels, as determined by each subrecipient, prior to the disaster. • "Post-event fair market value"means the land and dwelling value for parcels, as determined by each subrecipient, after the disaster. 1 � Packet Pg.757 D.5.c Pe Voluntary Home Buyout Program Guidelines Florid • "Eligible receipts"means proof of payment for items that are strictly for rebuilding the disaster-affected structure. Receipts must consist of permanent fixtures only, such as wood panels, drywall, paint, carpet, etc. • "Ineligible receipts"means receipts for repairs that are completed on detached buildings such as garagesor sheds, and personal items such as food and clothing, gasoline, tools, and equipment. • "Eligible Property"means a property that is located within designated areas or is located outside of the designated area and is substantially damaged and is a health and safety risk. • "Designated Area"means the land determined by the subrecipient that is eligible for the Voluntary Home Buyout Program. E • "Low-to Moderate-Income (LMI)"means an income is less than 80% of the local area median income. • "Low-to Moderate-Income Household(LMH)"means a household with an income that is less than 80% of the local area median income (AMI). • "Special flood hazard area (SFHA)"means the area where the National Flood Insurance Program's (NFIP's)floodplain management regulations must be enforced and the area where the W mandatory purchase of flood insurance applies. y 0 • "Subrecipient"means a city or a county that has applied for and has been awarded a CDBG-DR buyout project by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO). 0. 0 Application i i t ti the Buyout Cr A city or county must apply for the CDBG-DR Voluntary Home Buyout Program offered in their community. °' At the time of the application, the subrecipient identifies properties that would qualify for the program. A budget will be determined based on the pre-event FMV of all properties identified eligible for the program y that were owned by the sellers at the time of the disaster; however, all properties identified as eligible for the program that were purchased post disaster will have budgets determined on the basis purchase price, which is not to exceed the pre-event FMV. If awarded, the city or county would enter into a contract with DEO to administer and oversee their jurisdiction in which the program applies. 2 The property owners that apply for the voluntary home buyout program submit their applications directly to the subrecipient. Once the local level of government approves an individual property owner's application for buyout assistance, the subrecipient must submit the application to DEO for verification that the property E is not receiving or has not received Rebuild Florida housing repair or replacement assistance. A property owner cannot be eligible for buyout assistance if the property owner has received CDBG-DR funding to repair the property. A subrecipient may subcontract with a third-party administrator to administer the CL program for them. Nationalti The Voluntary Home Buyout Program will meet the Low- Moderate-Income (LMI)Area Benefit, and the Low- U to Moderate-Income Housing (LMH) National Objective. To meet the LMI Area Benefit, the properties acquired through buyouts will be used in a way that benefits all the residents in an area where at least 51 y percent of the residents are low- and moderate-income persons. To meet the National Objective of LMH, the households to be assisted must be LMI and occupy the replacement housing. Occupying replacement , housing means that CDBG-DR funds will be provided for an eligible activity that benefits the LMH by supporting their move from high risk areas. How to meet the National Objective E 2 Packet Pg.758 D.5.c Pe Voluntary Home Buyout Program Guidelines Florid When undertaking buyout activities and to demonstrate that a buyout meets the LMH National Objective, and according to the State CDBG regulations at 24 CFR 570.483(b)(3), entitlement CDBG regulations at 24 CFR 570.208 you must apply the LMH National Objective to eligible activity carried out for the purpose of providing or improving permanent residential structures that, upon completion, will be occupied by low- and moderate- income households. Therefore, a buyout program that merely pays homeowners to leave their existing homes does not result in a low- and moderate- income household occupying a residential structure y and, thus, cannot meet the requirements of the LMH National Objective. .2 If the subrecipient chooses to buyout low-and moderate-income households, the buyout can be structured in one of the following ways to meet the National Objective: • The subrecipient must combine the acquisitions of the properties with another direct benefit, such as 0) the housing replacement assistance and allowance program that Rebuild Florida has established as an incentive for the Voluntary Home Buyout Program, or • The subrecipient must meet the low- and moderate-income area benefit criteria, provided that the subrecipient can document that the properties acquired through the buyouts will be used in a way that benefits all the residents in an area where at least 51 percent of the residents are low- and moderate-income persons. When using this approach, the subrecipient must define the service area based on the end use of the buyout properties. 0 Locations0. CL Those counties that received a declaration of both FEMA Individual Disaster Assistance (IA)and Public Disaster Assistance (PA) after Hurricane Irma are eligible to apply to DEO to be a subrecipient of funding and administer a local Voluntary Home Buyout Program. Cr Prioritizing Proj All local governments that apply will prioritize all home buyouts by focusing on acquisition of properties that m are in concentrated residential areas that meet the low- and moderate-income area definition. DEO will rate all subrecipient applications by a process using a scoring method based on low-and moderate-income persons; households that are occupied by the disabled, and persons that are 62 years of age and older; benefit target areas; activity need and justification; cost reasonableness and effectiveness; environmental justice; and application completion. Each subrecipient can score a maximum 55 points per household plus an additional 15 bonus points for an E early submission and application completion. The scoring method will be as follows: CD C 0 1. Benefit to LMI households—maximum of 20 points combined: CL A. LMI household: 5 points. B. LMI household that occupies anyone 62 or older: 5 points. C. LMI household that occupies anyone under age 18: 5 points. D. LMI household that includes anyone that is disabled, handicapped, or has special needs: 5 points. 2. Low- and moderate-income households that did not have flood insurance at the time of the disaster: 10 points. E 3. Matching contributions—maximum of 25 points combined: — A. Efforts leverage funding with HMGP: A maximum of 10 points will be awarded based on the applicant's efforts to secure funding with HMGP as part of the match program offered as option one of the Voluntary Home Buyout Program. 3 Packet Pg.759 D.5.c Pe Voluntary Home Buyout Program Guidelines Florid B. Matching: A maximum of 15 points will be awarded based on the ratio of the amount of eligible matching funds to the amount of CDBG funds request: 1.1 or more, 15 points; 0.75- 1, 10 points; 0.50-1, 7 points; 0.25-1, 5 points; and less than 0.25, 0 points. 4. Application submitted 10 days prior to the deadline: 10 points—application must be completed in its entirety. An incomplete application will not receive these 10 points. 5. Application Completeness: A maximum of 5 points—applications will receive up to 5 bonus points based on completeness.Applications that have not been signed will not be considered. Property Valuation The value for each property identified for buyout will be established by the subrecipient based on the pre- event FMV, minus any DOB for applicants that owned the property at the time of the disaster. Owners that purchased the property after the date of the disaster will be limited to the price the owner paid for the property, which is not to exceed the pre-event FMV. If repairs have been made to the property, eligible repair receipts are added to the post-event price of the buyout. Local governments are responsible to hire contract teams that are licensed in the State of Florida to provide the following: 4- • Appraisals; A • Title and legal services; 0. • Environmental reviews; CL • Demolition of the property; and 0 • Other related buyout processes. v, m Cr W Appraisals 0 The property value, either current or pre-event depending upon ownership status at the time of Hurricane y Irma, must be derived from a method that results in a reasonable determination of FMV. The appraisal methodology shall be used in this program, and appraisals must be conducted by an appraiser in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. The appraiser must comply with relevant State laws and requirements and shall have the appropriate certification, qualifications, and competencies based on the type of property being appraised. When determining the value of many structures, the subrecipient may choose to perform appraisals to establish a statistical sampling of W property values and develop an adjustment factor to apply to tax assessed values so that they reasonably reflect each property's market value. DEO will monitor each subrecipient's appraisal practices. 0 Title i The subrecipient shall conduct a title search for each property it plans to acquire. The purpose of the title search is to ensure that the owner is the sole and actual titleholder to the property, identify other persons with a property interest, and to ensure that the title is clear. Clear title means that there are no mortgages or liens outstanding at the time of sale. In addition, there may not be incompatible easements or other encumbrances to the property that would make it either ineligible for acquisition or noncompliant with open space land use restrictions. Other requirements include: • A title insurance policy, demonstrating a clear (fee)title conveyance, must be obtained for each approved property that will be acquired. 4 Packet Pg.760 D 5.c Pe Voluntary Home Buyout Program Guidelines Florid • A physical site inspection for each property verifying the property has no physical encumbrances, which may require a site survey to clearly establish property boundaries. • Title to the property must transfer by a warranty deed in all jurisdictions that recognize warranty deeds. 0 4- • All incompatible easements or encumbrances must be extinguished. • The subrecipient shall take possession at settlement. • The subrecipient must record the deed at the same time as and along with the programmatic deed restrictions. • The deed transferring title to the property and the programmatic deed restrictions will be recorded m according to State law and within 14 days after settlement. Environmental i The subrecipient is responsible for conducting environmental reviews or causing such reviews to occur through contracted providers of environmental services. The subrecipient will be responsible for ensuring that all reviews are completed on all properties, which includes damaged properties that are to A be acquired by the local government as well as properties to be obtained by the seller through the v housing replacement assistance. This review is to be completed prior to an award for both acquired and 0. allocated properties. The new property must meet the minimum Department of Social Services CL Standards (DSS), as determined by the Housing Quality Standards (HQS) under HUD guidelines, or an inspection equivalent. This is not to be completed until the property owner has completed the eligibility phase and has been confirmed to be eligible for assistance. Cr Eligible Property T ypes and Requirements 4- W The eligible property types are non-commercial properties, which may include owner-occupied structures, residential rental properties, or vacant lots. To be considered an eligible property for the buyout program, T the property must satisfy at least one of the following requirements: • The property is located within the designated areas (Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA)or High-Risk Flood Area)or • The property is located outside of the designated areas and satisfies one of the following requirements: CD The property is substantially damaged (51% or more of the pre-event fair market value of the structure is damaged); or CL The property is considered a health/safety risk;or The property is located within a floodway. Project Eligibility Properties eligible for buyout must meet the following requirements: • The property will be purchased from a willing, voluntary seller. • The property contains a structure that has been damaged or destroyed due to Hurricane Irma, or the property is in a SFHA, or a High- Risk Flood Area. • All compatible easements or encumbrances can and must be extinguished. • The property cannot be contaminated with hazardous materials at the time of buyout, other than 5 0 Packet Pg.761 D 5.c Pe Voluntary Home Buyout Program Guidelines Florid incidental demolition or household waste. • The property cannot be part of an intended, planned, or designated project area for which the c, land is to be acquired by a certain date, and/or where there is an intention to use the propertyfor any public or private future use inconsistent with the open space deed restrictions and FEMA acquisition requirements (e.g., roads and flood control levees). • The property will not be subdivided prior to the buyout, except for portions outside the identified hazard area, such as within a SFHA or any risk zone identified by FEMA. • Properties that have received rehabilitation or repairs through the Housing Repair and Replacement Program will not be eligible for assistance under the Voluntary Home Buyout Program. E Eligible Allowable costs for property buyout projects depend upon the scope of the project. The following costs associated with the buyout of hazard-prone real property and the demolition of structures are allowable: 0 • Market value of the real property(i.e., land and structure) either at the time of sale or immediately A prior to Hurricane Irma depending upon the ownership status at the time of Hurricane Irma. y Therefore, if the appraisal of the property is prior to the disaster then all Duplication of Benefits (DOB) must be subtracted from this amount unless the owner can provide proof that funds were used for another eligible purpose and should be excluded as an offset to the amount of the DOB. CL 0 • Fees for necessary appraisal costs, title search, title insurance, property inspection, and survey if applicable. Cr • Demolition and removal of property. • Fees paid for environmental review services. • Relocation costs associated with displaced tenants under the Uniform Relocation Act. m The following costs of demolition activities at the vacated site are generally allowable if necessary: • Removal of demolition debris to an approved landfill, which includes debris from the demolition of houses, garages, driveways, sidewalks, and above-grade concrete slabs. • Asbestos abatement. • Removal of septic tanks. If not removed, the floors and walls of the tank must be cracked or CD crumbled so the tank will not hold water and then be filled with sand or other type of clean fill. CL • Removal of all structure foundation and basement walls to a point at least one foot below the finish grade of the site. • Removal of only those trees that restrict the demolition work on any structure. • Termination of all abandoned utilities to a point at least two feet below the finish grade of the site. • Capping of all wells and/or removal of associated components. 0 • Grading, leveling, and site stabilization of all demolition sites. y Ineligib Costs that are not allowable under this Voluntary Home Buyout Program include, but are not limited to: 6 0 Packet Pg.762 D 5.c Pe Voluntary Home Buyout Program Guidelines Florid • Compensation for land that is already held by an eligible entity. This is the case even if the eligible entity is not the subrecipient for the project. However, in that event compensation for development rights (e.g., obtaining an open space easement) may be an allowable cost. • The cleanup or remediation of contaminated properties, except for permitted disposal of incidental demolition and household hazardous wastes. Award Determination U) Cities and counties will use the applicable FMV methodology to determine the fair market value of a E property for sellers based on the ownership status at the time of Hurricane Irma, and must provide m documentation within the application to DEO to support that methodology: • Owners of eligible properties at the time of Hurricane Irma receive an offer to purchase the property minus any duplication of benefits (DOB). • Owners that purchased eligible property after Hurricane Irma will receive an offer to purchase the property based on pre-event FMV as the basis of their buyout, subject to the following limitations and DOB review: 1. The amount of the award is limited to the price the owner paid for the property, not to exceed 0. the pre-event fair market value. If repairs have been made to the property, eligible repair receipts are to be added to the post-disaster price of the acquisition. CL 2. Banks or mortgage companies that have been deeded the property on a post Hurricane Irma basis will be limited to the amount of the mortgage balance (pay-off). This is all that the bank(s)or mortgage company(ies)would receive if the owner of the property had participated Cr in the program. 3. Properties that are in foreclosure and with the same owner as that prior to Hurricane Irma will receive any remaining proceeds (i.e., after sales expenses, taxes, liens) after the sale of the y property, with the award being based on pre-event FMV. m 4. Trusts, probates, and living wills will receive an offer based on the pre-event fair market value as if the pre-event owner is participating and subject to a DOB review. This is the same offer > the owner would have received if they had participated in the program. 5. If the property is in the court of bankruptcy, the bankruptcy trustee will provide the valuation documentation that was used to value the property at the time of the bankruptcy. The award E amount is not to exceed the pre-event fair market value; however, if the property is being held in the trust with the owner remaining the current deed holder and has not been acquired CD C by the trustee, documentation must be provided to demonstrate that the property is still CL deeded to the owner and only held in the trust. If this proof is provided, the owner will receive an award based on the pre-event fair market value of the property. Award Calculation Methodology Rebuild Florida has developed multiple disaster recovery housing programs based on the nature and scope of damage in order to meet the objectives of recovery efforts. This Award Calculation Methodology demonstrates a method of calculating an individual's award in the context of the Voluntary Home Buyout Program by using the pre-event FMV, and in combination with other housing programs, such as HMGP and the Housing Replacement Assistance and Housing Replacement Allowance programs. All awards are subject to DOBs. The following provides four examples of calculating duplication of benefits for the subrecipient to offer in combination with other housing programs: 7 0 Packet Pg.763 D 5.c Pe Voluntary Home Buyout Program Guidelines Florid • Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP): Subrecipients may use CDBG-DR funds as the required matching funds for residential properties that will be purchased through the local jurisdiction's HMGP program. This is a voluntary real property acquisition program funded by FEMA to acquire flood damaged homes at FMV. HUD has provided a CDBG-DR matching component funded with 75% FEMA funds (with up to 25% CDBG-DR match funds)or 90% FEMA funds (with up to 10% CDBG- DR match funds). y • CDBG-DR Buyout Program: Subrecipients may fund 100%of the buyout with CDBG-DR funds. This is a voluntary real property acquisition program with awards that are limited to the pre-event FVM of the land and structure. • Housing Replacement Assistance: Subrecipients may offer incentives to low-to moderate-income qualified applicants as part of the buyout program design. This is a program to retain an area's m population, awarding up to $25,000 in addition to the pre-event FMV of the buyout home for income-qualified buyout applicants. • Housing Replacement Allowance: Subrecipients may offer a lower value incentive to qualified participants who do not meet low-to moderate-income requirements. This is a program for those who are not income-qualified for the Housing Replacement Assistance. Participants can be eligible for up to $10,000 in Housing Replacement Assistance if their damaged home meets certain requirements. `" Both housing replacement awards are subject to the Robert T. Stafford Act, requiring that these funds be considered duplication of benefits. This funding may only be used to purchase a new home within the same taxing jurisdiction. Additionally, applicants may only qualify for this additional assistance if they relocate outside of the floodplain to a lower-risk area. Subrecipients must maintain documentation describing how the amount of assistance was determined to be necessary and reasonable. Duplication of Benefits Process 0 Costs that duplicate amounts received by or available to the property owner or affected tenant from another source for the same purpose are not allowable. The deduction will be taken from the purchase offer if the offer is determined by an appraised market value prior to Hurricane Irma. The program will recoup duplicative amounts identified after grant funds have been expended. Property owners who receive duplicative payments following the conclusion of the property settlement are responsible for reimbursing the subrecipient for those duplicated funds. State grant program funding is supplemental to other funding sources and must be reduced by amounts reasonably available (even if not sought or received)from other sources to address the same purpose or c loss. DEO, subrecipients, and project participants, including property owners and tenants, must take CL reasonable steps to recover all such amounts. Amounts that are reasonably available to the individual or entity shall be treated as benefits available for the same purpose, even if he/she/it did not seek them. All subrecipients must create and implement a subrogation policy to address recoupment of duplicative funds received by a program participant after the settlement of grant funds. All subrecipients must enter into a subrogation agreement with each program participant. Tax adjustments resulting from filings related to losses to the rental property are not considered a DOB and do not affect the award. For property valuations based on post-disaster FMV, no DOB will be taken from the offer. A program that provides post-disaster FMV to buyout applicants only provides the actual value of the property; thus, the seller is not considered a beneficiary of CDBG-DR assistance; therefore, this activity does not fall under the Stafford Act. 8 Packet Pg.764 D 5.c Pe Voluntary Home Buyout Program Guidelines Florid For property valuations based on pre-disaster FMV, the following procedures assist in preventing grant funds from duplicating benefits available from other sources: • Property owners who have a U.S. Small Business Administration loan with a mortgage on the property that is to be acquired are required to repay the loan or roll it over to a new loan at closing. • The subrecipient shall identify any other potential sources of benefits to the property owner, or tenant. • The subrecipient is responsible to verify information via FEMA Data for structural repairs and replacement, and rental or relocation assistance provided to tenants along with verifying all m National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) coverage information, including the amount paid on a E claim and the amount of coverage available. • The subrecipient shall coordinate with property owners who shall disclose all potential amounts available to them for the same purpose, as described above, including repair or replacement assistance received, all insurance benefits available to them under an existing policy(whether they submitted a claim or not), and any potential recovery based on litigation or other legal obligations. The property owner must take reasonable steps to recover such amounts.Amounts that are reasonably available or anticipated to the property owner shall be treated as benefits M available for the same purpose, even if the property owner did not seek them. y 0 • The subrecipient shall coordinate with tenants who shall disclose any amounts received from rental or relocation assistance. 0. 0 Cr Housing Replacement Assistance Determination W Because this is a voluntary home buyout program, owners are not eligible for assistance under the Uniform Relocation Assistance (URA)and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act. However, tenants who are c displaced as a result of the owner's sale of the property to the subrecipient are entitled to assistance under the URA. All property owners participating in the buyout are eligible for up to the maximum housing replacement assistance allowed by the Robert T. Stafford Act. All income qualified buyout participants are eligible for up to $25,000 in the housing replacement assistance plus pre-event market value of their buyout home. Those that are not income qualified will be eligible for up to $10,000 in housing replacement E allowance only if the damaged property is located within the designated area. CD The following requirements must be met to qualify for housing replacement assistance: CL • The buyout home must be in the designated area or house a low-to moderate-income family. • The homeowner must purchase a replacement home that is more expensive than the buyout home. • The replacement home must be located within the jurisdiction of the subrecipient. • The replacement home must be considered decent, safe, and sanitary. 0 If income qualified, the housing replacement assistance would be a maximum of$25,000. However, the replacement home purchased must be valued at$25,000 greater than the buyout home to receive the full award. If the value of the replacement home is less than $25,000 but is more than the pre-event fair market value of the buyout home, the applicant's housing replacement assistance will be capped at the difference. If the applicant is not income-qualified, the maximum amount of replacement housing the applicant can receive is $10,000. Pre-event owners of vacant lots and rental properties are not eligible to receive housing replacement assistance, as they did not occupy the structure at the time of the disaster. 9 Packet Pg.765 D 5.c Pe Voluntary Home Buyout Program Guidelines Florid In addition, post-event owners are not eligible to receive a replacement housing award, as they were not required to relocate due to the disaster. If a rental home is purchased through the Voluntary Home Buyout Program and houses tenants that will be required to relocate, they are considered displaced persons that are eligible for relocation benefits under the Uniform Relocation Act (URA). The subrecipient must develop and implement URA policies and y procedures and ensure that all required notices, services and payments afforded to tenants qualified under URA are provided in a timely manner. Open Space Restrictions To be eligible, a project must result in property buyout that meets all the requirements governing the use CD m g� p J p p Y Y q g g of grant funds and the use of acquired real property, including: • The property acquired, accepted, or from which structures are removed will carry a permanent deed restriction requiring the property be maintained for open space, recreational, or wetlands management purposes only. • The subrecipient will dedicate and maintain the property in perpetuity for uses compatible with open space, recreational, or wetlands management practices, and be consistent with `" conservation of natural floodplain functions. 0. • The subrecipient must record the deed restrictions consistent with the model deed. CL Construction of new structures is only allowed where: • A public building is open on all sides and functionally related to a designated open space or recreational use. Cr 0) • The structure is a public restroom. • The structure is compatible with open-space, recreational, or wetlands management usage and y floodplain management policies and practices and has DEO and FEMA approval in writing before the construction of the structure begins. • Any new structures built on the property according to the third subparagraph above will be elevated or flood-proofed to the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) plus two foot of freeboard as defined in the Federal Register 24 CFR 55.2(b)(10) and meet applicable requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)floodplain management regulations or local codes. cu • After settlement, no federal disaster assistance for any purpose from any federal source, nor flood CD insurance payments will be made with respect to the property, and no person or entity shall seek such amounts. CL • The subrecipient must obtain the approval of DEO and the FEMA Regional Administrator before conveying ownership (fee title)of the property to another public agency or qualified conservation organization. Property transfer to private citizens and corporations will not be approved. , • All development rights in the form of a conservation easement on the property must be conveyed to the conservation organization or retained by the subrecipient or other public entity. • The subrecipient must accept responsibility for monitoring and enforcing the deed restriction and/or easement. 10 Packet Pg.766 DocuSign Envelope ID:AC234D1A-4655-45AE-B446-C9C82F340DF1 D.5.e DEO Agreement No.:I0092 State of Florida Department of Economic Opportunity Federally-Funded Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Voluntary Home Buyout Program Subrecipient Agreement 0. 0 THIS AGREEMENT is entered into by the State of Florida, Department of Economic Opportunity, CL (hereinafter referred to as "DEO'� and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners,hereinafter referred to as the "Subrecipient" (each individually a"Party"and collectively"the Parties'. m THIS AGREEMENT IS ENTERED INTO BASED ON THE FOLLOWING REPRESENTATIONS: Cr C WHEREAS,pursuant to Public Law(P.L.) 114-254,the"Further Continuing and Security Assistance 0 Appropriations Act,2017" and P.L. 115-31, the "Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017, (hereinafter jointly referred to as the"Appropriation Acts',and the"Allocations,Common Application,Waivers,and Alternative W Requirements for Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery DEOs", 81 Fed.

CL • Cognizant Agency. 0 Generally, the cognizant agency is the Federal agency with the largest dollar value of total Federal awards with a governmental unit or nonprofit entity. (See 2 CFR 200.19). The cognizant Cr agency is the lead agency that a non-Federal entity deals with on issues. For example, the lead agency for some HUD recipients for indirect cost rates may be HHS if HHS provides the most 0 funding to the recipient. (See also the explanation under §200.108. Inquiries). The cognizant agency for audit is the Federal agency designated to carry a� out the responsibilities for audit. (See 2 CFR 200.18.) 2 • Contractor. (New) Contractor is used rather than the term "vendor," which was used in OMB Circular A- 133. (New) Contractor means an entity that receives a contract. (See 2 CFR 200.23) This definition is revised, as the new definition loops at the nature of the relationship, rather than what the document/agreement is called(2 CFR 200.22.) (See also 2 CFR 200.330. Subrecipient and contractor determinations. ) • Federal financial assistance. This section essentially incorporates the requirements in the previous OMB circular for the U) administrative requirements, cost principles, and audit requirements. (See 200.40) E • Federal award. Federal award, depending on the context, can mean either(a)the Federal financial assistance, or (b)the document that provides the assistance, e.g. the grant, cooperative agreement or cost reimbursement contract. (See 2 CFR 200.38) C7 • Fixed Amount Award. (New) CL In this type of award,the Federal Agency or pass through entity provides a specific level of W c. support without regard to actual costs incurred. Accountability is based primarily on performance and results. (See 2 CFR 200.45.) > • Micro-Purchase. (New) This is a new category of supplies or services which uses simplified acquisition procedures that can be used by non-Federal entities. The micro-purchase threshold (floor) is set by the Federal Acquisition Regulation. (See 48 CFR 2.101) At the present time, it is generally $3,000. The threshold is periodically adjusted for inflation. (See 2 CFR 200.67) 2 Packet Pg.898 D.5.g • Non-Federal entity. (New) Non-Federal entity means a state, local government, Indian tribe, institution of higher education (IHE), or nonprofit organization that carries out a Federal award as a recipient a) 0 0 0. 0 CL Cr 0 W 2 0. 0. CD cv CD cv 0) CL CL CD 3 Packet Pg.899 D.5.g or subrecipient. This is the term that is used in the regulation instead of, for example, grantee. (See 2 CFR 200.69) E State no longer includes Indian tribe. (See 2 CFR 200.90) Local governments, which are specifically defined, include public housing authorities. (See 2 2 CFR 200.64) 0 • Pass- Through Entity. Pass-through entity means a non-Federal entity that provides a subaward to a subrecipient to carry 0 out part of a Federal program. This could include a state,which could"pass funding through" to a 0 county or local government, or nonprofit. (See 2 CFR 200.74) 0 • Subrecipient. Subrecipient means a non-Federal entity that receives a subaward from a pass-through entity to Cr C carry out part of a Federal program. This definition is revised from the circulars. (See 2 CFR 200.93) 0 HUD IMPLEMENTATION. > HUD is required to implement 2 CFR 200 unless different provisions are required by Federal 2 statute, are in a conforming regulation, or are otherwise approved by OMB. (See sections 2 CFR 200.102 c . 2 CFR 200.106.) cv For Federal awards under 2 CFR 200 all administrative requirements,program manuals, handbooks and other non-regulatory materials that are inconsistent with the uniform requirements must be superseded except to the extent they are required by statute or authorized by OMB. (See 2 CFR 200.105.) This means that handbooks and other guidance that are Q inconsistent with 2 CFR 200 would need to be revised for the changes in the rule. Federal agencies categorize Federal financial assistance as, for example, grants or cooperative agreements, and this information will appear as the actual document. (See 2 CFR 200.101) a, EFFEC-FIVE DATES. The requirements in 2 CFR 200 are phased in for specific requirements in various stages as CL follows: (See 2 CFR 200.110.) a. CO Grant Agreements: Many HUD grant agreements are written to be governed by the regulations in effect as of the date the agreement was signed. U_ Grants/Cooperative Agreements awarded before December 26, 2014 (the date the 2 CFR 200 rules became effective) and not modified on or after that date, are governed by 24 CFR Part 84- Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Agreements with Institutions for Higher E Education, Hospitals, and other Nonprofit organizations or24 CFR Part 85 —Administrative 4 Packet Pg.900 D.5.g Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State, Local and Indian Tribal Governments, effective in December 2013. E ay CD For example, some grant agreements may contain the following language: "This Agreement will be governed and controlled by the following, in effect as of the date of the Agreement. The Act, the NOFA, and HUD regulations, laws and policies incorporated into the NOFA. In this case, an 2 agreement signed November 1, 2013, would be governed by the regulations in effect in November, 2013. 0 Where the terms of a HUD award made prior to December 26, 2014, state that the award will be 0 subject to regulations as may be amended, the Federal award shall be subject to 2 CFR Part 200. 0 0. For example,the agreement might say: "This Agreement will be governed and controlled by the following: the Act, the NOFA, and HUD regulations, and policies incorporated into the NOFA as may be amended." Cr Procurement: For the procurement standards in the new rule, non-Federal entities may continue to comply with 0 the procurement standards in previous OMB guidance for one additional fiscal year after 2014. ay If a non-Federal entity chooses to use the previous procurement standards for an additional fiscal 2 year before adopting the procurement standards in this part, the non-Federal entity must document this decision in their internal procurement policies. e( Example: A non-Federal entity whose fiscal year ends June 30, 2015, can operate under either the "old" or"new" standards for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2015 and ending June 30, 2016. Example: That non-Federal entity will be required to comply with the 2 CFR 200 procurement standards for the fiscal year starting July 1, 2016 and ending June 30, 2017. Audit. Audit Requirements will apply to audits of fiscal years beginning on or after December 26, 2014. ay a) Example: A non-Federal entity whose fiscal year ends June 30, 2015, is subject to the "new" audit standards for their fiscal year beginning July 1, 2015 and ending June 30, 2016. CL POST AWARD REQUIREMENTS AND ADMINISTRATION CL Performance Measurement. This section provides stronger guidance to Federal agencies to measure performance in a way > that will help the Federal awarding agency and other non-Federal entities to improve program U_ outcomes, share lessons learned, and spread the adoption of promising practices. (See 2 CFR 200.301.) • Federal awarding agencies must require recipients to use OMB-approved standard government-wide information collections to provide financial and performance E information. � 5 Packet Pg.901 D.5.g • Recipients must be required to relate financial data to performance accomplishments, and must also provide cost information to demonstrate cost effective practices. E Internal Controls. This section provides that for Federal awards Non-Federal entities must include certain tasks in their administration of the assistance. It was moved from OMB Circular A-133. (See 2 CFR 2 200.303.) C7 1. Establish and maintain effective internal controls-no expectation that they document 0 A compliance with the internal control documents (GAO green book, compliance M supplement, etc.) 0 2. Comply with Federal statutes, regulations, &terms and conditions CL 3. Evaluate and monitor compliance 0 4. Take prompt action on audit findings 5. Safeguard protected personally identifiable information (See 2 CFR 200.82) Cr Payments to States and Non Federal Entities. (New in part) c Payments to States are governed by Treasury-State Cash Management Improvement Act (CMIA) agreements codified at 31 CFR Part 205. Coverage largely replicates existing payment 2 coverage from OMB Circular A-110. (See 2 CFR 200.305.) • As a new measure, the rule extends to non-Federal entities previously covered by OMB Circular A-102 the existing flexibility in OMB Circular A-110 to pay additional interest earned on Federal funds annually,rather than"promptly" to each Federal awarding agency. (NEW) • Interest amounts up to $500 per year maybe retained by the non-federal entity for administrative expenses. (NEW) Cost Sharing or Matching, This section clarifies policies on voluntary committed cost sharing. • Stipulates that voluntary committed cost sharing is not expected under Federal research E proposals and cannot be used as a factor during the merit review of the proposal. Cost sharing may only be considered when required by regulation and transparent in the notice offunding opportunity. (See 2 CFR 200.306(a)) Only mandatory cost sharing or cost sharing included on the project budget must be included in the organized research 2 base for computing the indirect cost rate or reflected in the allocation of indirect costs. 0 c. • For all Federal awards, any shared costs or matching funds and all contributions including cash and third party in-kind contributions, must be accepted as part of the non- s Federal entity's cost sharing or matching when such contributions meet all of the following criteria: (1) Are verifiable from the non-Federal entity's records; (2) are not included as contributions for any other Federal award; (3)Are necessary and reasonable for accomplishment of project or program objectives; (4) Are allowable under Subpart E—Cost Principles (5)Are not paid by the Federal Government under another Federal E award, except where the Federal statute authorizing a program specifically provides that 6 Packet Pg.902 D.5.g Federal funds made available for such program can be applied to matching or cost sharing requirements of other Federal programs; (6)Are provided for in the approved budget when E required by the Federal awarding agency; and (7) Conform to other provisions of this part, as applicable. • OMB Memorandum 01-06, Clarification of OMB A-21 Treatment of Voluntary 2 Uncommitted Cost Sharing and Tuition Remission costs continues to apply. See: http://www.whitehouse.!2�ov/omb/memoranda m01-06 v • Valuation of cost sharing remains largely unchanged from OMB Circular A-110. 0. 0 CL Period of Performance 0 • Non-federal entities may charge to Federal awards only allowable costs incurred during Cr the period of performance and any costs incurred before the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity made the Federal award that were authorized by the Federal awarding agency or pass through entity. (See 2 CFR 200.309.) • Federal awarding agencies may authorize no-cost extensions of the period of performance (See also 200.308, Revision of budget and program plans.) 2 Coverage in Property Standards. (New in part). • Property standards are largely derived from existing coverage. (Sections 200.310- 200.316) N • The property standards are consistent with existing coverage. Equipment is new. 2 CFR N 200.313. • States must use, manage, and dispose of equipment acquired under a Federal award in accordance with state laws and procedures. (Not new) • Other non-Federal entities must follow the requirements specified. (NEW) v) Sugplies. a� The definition of supplies in existing guidance includes all tangible personal property that fall E below the threshold for equipment. (See 2 CFR 200.314) Since, as technology improves, computing devices (inclusive of accessories) increasingly fall below this threshold, (currently $3,500) the guidance makes explicit that when they do, they shall be treated consistently with all other items below this level. (NEW) See Definition of"Supplies" (See 2 CFR 200.94) 2 0 CL Intangible Property, The Content of 200.315 is largely from OMB Circular A-110; however, the section has been c. reorganized for readability and clarity. (See 2 CFR 200.315.) s PROCURENIENTSTANDARDS States. States must use their own policies and procedures. (See 2 CFR 200.317) E 7 Packet Pg.903 D.5.g Non-Federal entities. (New) a All other non-Federal entities, including subrecipients of a state, must have and follow written E procurement procedures that reflect the procurement standards in part 200. This section does not require the non-Federal entity to maintain a contract administration system; it's a matter of an entity's judgment as to how the non-Federal entity is going to maintain oversight of contracts and contractors. (See 2 CFR 200.318) 2 C7 Standards of Conduct. (New in part.) 0 A The non-Federal entity must maintain written standards of conduct. (See 2 CFR 200.318). The M section contains a new requirement that extends the conflict to organizational conflicts 0 (parent, affiliate or subsidiary, not a state local government or Indian tribe See 2 CFR CL 200.318(c) 0 Procurement of unnecessary or duplicative items. Cr This section was sought by the research institutions. It does not require a non-Federal entity to reexamine every item acquired for"unnecessary or duplicative items." (See 2 CFR 200.318(d).) 0 Interentity agreements. (New in part.) To foster greater economy and efficiency and to promote cost-effective use of shared services, the non-Federal entity is encouraged to enter into state and local intergovernmental agreements u or inter-entity agreements where appropriate for procurement or use of common or shared goods 2 and services. This is designed to encourage shared services and goods, e.g., strategic sourcing. (See 2 CFR 200.318(c).) (NEW) cv The non-Federal entity is encouraged to use Federal excess and surplus property in lieu of N purchasing new equipment and property when this is feasible and when it reduces project costs. < (See 2 CFR 200.318(f)). 2 Methods of Procurement to be Followed. There are 5 (five) options. (See 2 CFR 200.320) This section is generally based on Circular A- 102 One of the options- micro purchases- is NEW 0) Micro-purchases are used for acquisition of supplies or services if the aggregate amount does not exceed the"micro-purchase threshold" (currently $3,000). (See 2 CFR 200.67.)Is set by the Federal Acquisition Regulation at 48 CFR Subpart 2.1 Definitions. Micro-purchases may be awarded without soliciting competitive quotations if the non-Federal entity considers the price to 2 be reasonable. The micro-purchase threshold is adjusted for inflation on a periodic basis. 0 C. The four other procurement methods, which remain largely unchanged, are: CL ca l. Small purchase procedures contracts not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (currently $150,000) 2. Sealed bids (formal advertising) 3. Competitive proposals 4. Noncompetitive proposals- clarified to specify that it can be used only under certain conditions, e.g. when only one or more of the following factors apply. The E documentation of this process is important. The factors to be considered include: 8 Packet Pg.904 D.5.g a) The item is available only from a single source; b) The public exigency or emergency for the requirement will not permit a delay E resulting from competitive solicitation; c) The Federal awarding agency (or pass-through entity) expressly authorizes this method in response to a written request from the non-Federal entity; d) After solicitation of a number of sources, competition is determined inadequate. t� Non-Federal entity review by Federal awarding agencv or Pass-through entill. 0 Upon request of the Federal awarding agency (or pass-through entity), the non-Federal entity M must make available: (See 2 CFR 200.324.) 0 • Technical Specifications. The technical specifications on proposed procurements where 0 CL the Federal awarding agency (or pass-through entity)believes the review is needed to ensure that the item or service specified is the one being proposed for acquisition. • Procurement Documents. Upon request of the Federal awarding agency (or pass-through entity), the non-Federal entity must make the procurement documents (e.g., requests for Cr proposals, invitations for bids, or independent cost estimates) available for pre- 0 procurement review when: W 1. The non-Federal entity's procurement procedures or operations fail to comply with the procurement standards in Part 200;or 2 2. The procurement is expected to exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (currently $150,000); and c 3. The procurement is to be awarded without competition or only one bid/offer is received in response to a solicitation; or 4. The procurement specifies a "brand name" product; or 5. The proposed contract is to be awarded to other than the apparent low bidder under a sealed bid procurement; or 6. A proposed contract modification changes the scope of a contract or increases the v, contract amount by more than the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. Q Pre-Procurement review exemption. The non-Federal entity is exempt: a • If the Federal awarding agency (or pass-through entity) determines that its procurement 0 systems comply with the standards of Part 200, or • The non-Federal entity self certifies its procurement system (but the self-certification does not limit the Federal awarding agency's right to survey the system). Contract provisions. CL Refers to Appendix 11 for provisions that must be included in contracts of non-Federal entities. (See 2 CFR 200.326.) CL The Appendix provides a description of each requirement. It generally gives the legal basis (regulations or statutes) of the provision) so that the non-Federal entity can determine whether the provision is applicable to a contract. PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENI' REPORTING E Financial Reporting. (New in part.) 9 Packet Pg.905 D.5.g • Existing coverage from A-102 and A-110 on the Report of Federal Cash Transactions and the Financial Status Report has been deleted and replaced with the requirement that E Federal awarding agencies only use the OMB-approved government-wide data elements for collection of financial information -- currently the Federal Financial Report. (New) (See 2 CFR 200.327.) • Submission frequency requirements generally remain unchanged-No less frequently than annually, nor more frequently than quarterly. New language was added, however, which permits the Federal awarding agency to require more frequent reporting where necessary 0 for the effective monitoring of the Federal award or where monitoring could significantly affect program outcomes. (NEW) c 0. 0 CL MONITORING & REPORTING PROGRAM PERFORMANCE • Specifies that performance reports are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act Cr requirements (See 2 CFR 200.328.) • Federal awarding agencies should utilize OMB-approved standard government-wide information collections (see also 200.206) • Submission frequency requirements remain largely unchanged a • No less frequently than annually, nor more frequently than quarterly. 2 • New language added, however, which permits more the Federal awarding agency to require more frequent reporting where necessary for the effective monitoring of the Federal award or could significantly affect program outcomes. (NEW) Reporting on Real Property. (See 2 CFR 200.329) The language in this section is based on the supplementary information provided in the purpose section of the Final Notice of the Real Property Status Report (RPSR) form SF-429, available at 75 FR 56540,published September 16, 201.0 Subrecipient and Contractor Determination. (See 2 CFR 200.330.) a, • Explains the roles of subrecipients and contractors so that the non-Federal entity can determine the relationship and the applicable requirements. • A non-Federal entity provides a subaward to a subrecipient for the purpose of carrying out a portion of a Federal award and creates a Federal assistance relationship between the t2 non-Federal entity and the subrecipient. CL • A non-Federal entity provides a contract to a contractor for the purpose of obtaining W CL goods and services for the non-Federal entity's own use and creates a procurement relationship between the non-Federal entity and the contractor. > • What the document is called- an agreement or a contract-does not matter; the U_ relationship is the basis for determining which requirements are applicable. Requirements for pass-through entities. (See 2 CFR 200.331.) • The pass-through entity must: E 1. Put specific information in the subaward, including indirect cost rate 1 Packet Pg.906 D.5.g 2. Do a risk assessment to determine appropriate subrecipient monitoring AND must monitor subrecipients E 3. Consider if specific subaward conditions are needed 4.

(See 2 CFR 200.345) COST PRINCIPLES Q Classification of Costs This section is a new explanatory introductory section which does not make major changes. (See 2 CFR 200.412.)It explains that there is no universal rule for classifying certain costs as either a) direct or indirect(F&A)under every accounting system. A cost may be direct with respect to 0 some specific service or function, but indirect with respect to the Federal award or other final cost objective. Therefore, it is essential that each item of cost incurred for the same purpose be treated consistently in like circumstances either as a direct or an indirect(F&A) cost in order to avoid possible double-charging of Federal awards. Guidelines for determining direct and indirect t2 (F&A) costs charged to Federal awards are provided in subpart E. CL W CL Cost accounting standards and disclosure statement. (NEW) This section applies to Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs)that receive aggregate Federal > awards totaling more than $50 million in its most recent fiscal year. (See 2 CFR 200.419.) It U_ requires those entities to comply with the Cost Accounting Standards Boards standards and file disclosures with the cognizant agency. It also provides mechanisms for those cognizant agencies to adjust costs, credit overpayments, and assure compliance. E Collections of Imp en r Payments 11 Packet Pg.909 D.5.g The costs incurred by a non-Federal entity to recover improper payments are allowable as either direct or indirect costs, as appropriate. (See 2 CFR 200.428.) E a) Commencement and convocation costs. (NEW) For IHEs, costs incurred for commencements and convocations are unallowable, except as provided in limited circumstances detailed in Appendix III to Part 200 Indirect(F&A) Costs 2 Identification and Assignment as student activity costs. (See 2 CFR 200.429� 0 Intellectual Uronerty. (NEW) This section enumerates the allowable costs related to securing and owning patents and 0 copyrights and discusses when royalties are allowed. (See 2 CFR 200.448.) 0 C. Taxes (including Value Added Taxi. (NEW) This section provides guidance detailing when taxes are allowable expenses, including a Value Added Tax (VAT)tax. (See 2 CFR 200.470.) Cr 0 AUDITS Threshold for Audits An audit is required if a Non-Federal entity expends $750,000 or more during the non-Federal entity's fiscal year. The non-Federal entity must have a single or program-specific audit. This 2 threshold IS new (formerly $500,000). (See 2 CFR 200.501) e( • A non-Federal entity that expends $750,000 or more during the non-Federal entity's fiscal year in Federal awards must have a single audit conducted in accordance with §200.514 Scope of audit except when it elects to have a program-specific audit conducted. • Program-specific audit election. When an auditee expends Federal awards under only one Federal program (excluding R&D) and the Federal program's statutes, regulations, or the terms and conditions of the Federal award do not require a financial statement audit of Q the auditee,the auditee may elect to have a program-specific audit conducted. (See 2 CFR 200.507) • A non-Federal entity that expends less than $750,000 during the non-Federal entity's fiscal year in Federal awards is generally exempt from Federal audit requirements for that a, year, but records must be available for review or audit by appropriate officials of the Federal agency,pass-through entity, and Government Accountability Office (GAO). Ouestions. Inquiries concerning 2 CFR 200 may be directed to the Office of Federal Financial Management CL Office of Management and Budget, in Washington, DC. (§200.108)Non-Federal entities' W inquiries should be addressed to the Federal awarding agency, cognizant agency for indirect aCa costs, cognizant or oversight agency for audit, or pass-through entity as appropriate. > • Office of Federal Financial Management: https://www.whitehouse.!2�ov/omb/financial_fin_grants_expanded/#admin • HUD is the Federal awarding agency if HUD provides the financial assistance. 12 Packet Pg.910 D.5.g • The cognizant agency for indirect costs could be HUD, or it could be another Federal agency. (See 2 CFR 200.19.) Cognizant agency for indirect costs means the Federal agency responsible for a) reviewing, negotiating, and approving cost allocation plans or indirect cost proposals developed under this part on behalf of all Federal agencies. For assignments of cognizant agencies see the following: o For Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs): Appendix III to Part 200 Indirect (F&A) Costs 2 Identification and Assignment, and Rate Determination for Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs),paragraph C.11. Appendix 111 0 o For nonprofit organizations: Appendix IV to Part 200Indirect(F&A) Costs Identification and Assignment, and Rate Determination for Nonprofit Organizations, paragraph C.12.

Appendix V o For Indian tribes: Appendix VII to Part 200States and Local Government and Indian Tribe Indirect Cost Proposal,paragraph D.1. Appendix VII Cr • The cognizant agency for indirect cost is not necessarily the same as the cognizant agency for audit. (§200.18). The cognizant agency for audit means the Federal agency designated to carry out the audit responsibilities for the government. A non-Federal entity expending more than $50 million a year in Federal awards must have a cognizant agency for audit. The designated cognizant agency for audit must be the Federal awarding agency that provides the predominant amount of direct funding to a non- Federal entity unless OMB designates a specific cognizant agency for audit.
