If deemed necessary,wind protection will be provided on any other openings such as skylights,vents, louvers and exhaust fans. All installations will be done in strict compliance with the Florida Building Code or Miami-Dade Specifications. All materials will be certified to meet the wind and impact standards of the current local codes. The local municipal or county building department will inspect and certify installation according to the manufacturer's specifications. This is FEMA project 1609-148-R,funded under 1609-DR-FL. The Period of Performance for this project ends on September 30, 2010. Schedule of Work 6 Months State Contracting: 1 Month Develop Specifications for Bid: Procurement—Prepare Bid, Solicitations, Evaluate Proposals, Select Bidder: 4 Months Months Fabrication Lead Time: 6 Months Installation (Allowing For Vendor Schedule): 3 Months Contingency for Potential Disaster Activation of State Employees: State Final Inspection: 3 Months State Closeout: 3 Months Total Period of Performance: 28 Months The materials and work funded pursuant to this Subgrant Agreement are intended to decrease the vulnerability of the building to property losses and are specifically not intended to provide for the safety of inhabitants before, during or after a natural man made disaster. The funding provided by the Division of Emergency Management under this sub grant shall compensate for the materials and labor for the installation of storm shutters and/or other hardening activities as a retrofit measure for the Recipient's building to reduce and/or mitigate the damage that might otherwise occur from severe weather or other hazards. The funding of this project by the Department does not confer or imply any warranty of use or suitability for the work performed pursuant to this agreement. The State of Florida disclaims all warranties with regard to this mitigation project, express or implied, including but not limited to, any implied warranties and/or conditions of satisfactory quality and fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, or merchantable quality. This project has not been evaluated by the criteria contained in the standards of the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) guidance manual FEMA 361- Design and Construction for Community Shelter, and thus does not provide "near absolute protection." It is understood and agreed by the Department and the Recipient that the building may have vulnerabilities due to age, design and location which may result in damage to the building from wind events even after the installation of the mitigation measures funded under this Subgrant Agreement. It is further understood and agreed by the Department and the Recipient that the level of wind protection provided by the mitigation action, although meeting State standards and codes and enhancing the structural integrity of the building, does not ensure the safety of survival of building occupants. 20 Budget Line Item Budget* Project Cost Federal Share Local Share Materials: $14,800.00 $11,100.00 $3,700.00 In-Kind Labor That Includes the Following Job Operations: Door Removal &Disposal and Electrical: $ 2,840.00 ,4240 00 $ 3,180.00 710.00 00 Installation Labor: Fees: $ 1,000.00 $ 750.00 $ 250.00 Sub-Total: $22,880.00 $17,160.00 $5,720.00 Administrative Cost: $ 0.00 $ 686.00 $ 0.00 Total: $22,880.00 $17,846.00 $5,720.00 Any line item amount in this Budget may be increased or decreased 10% or less without an amendment to this Agreement being required, so long as the overall amount of the funds obligated under this Agreement is not increased.

FEMA will request the SHPO's opinion on the potential that archeological properties may be present and be affected by such activities. The SHPO will advise Recipient on any feasible steps to be accomplished to avoid any National Register eligible archeological property or will make recommendations for the development of a treatment plan for the recovery of archeological data from the property. If Recipient is unable to avoid the archeological property, develop, in consultation • with the SHPO,a treatment plan consistent with the Guidelines and take into account the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (Council)publication --- "Treatment of Archeological Properties". Recipient shall forward information regarding the treatment plan to FEMA,the SHPO and the Council for review. If the SHPO and the Council do not object within 15 calendar days of receipt of the treatment plan, FEMA may direct Recipient to implement the treatment plan.

(6) Recipient shall notify DEM and FEMA as soon as practicable: (a)of any changes in the approved scope of work for a National Register eligible or listed properly; (b)of all changes to a project that may result in a supplemental DSR or modify an HMGP project for a National Register eligible or listed property; (c)if it appears that a project funded under this Agreement will affect a previously unidentified property that may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register or affect a known historic property in an unanticipated manner. Recipient 27 acknowledges that FEMA may require Recipient to stop construction in the vicinity of the discovery of a previously unidentified property that may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register or upon learning that construction may affect a known historic property in an unanticipated manner. Recipient further acknowledges that FEMA may require Recipient to take all reasonable measures to avoid or minimize harm to such property until FEMA concludes consultation with the SHPO. Recipient also acknowledges that FEMA will require,and Recipient shall comply with, modifications to the project scope of work necessary to implement recommendations to address the project and the property.
