through this Agreement or pursue any remedy at law or in equity, without limitation:
(a) Any warranty or representation made by Subrecipient, in this Agreement or any previous
agreement with DEO, is or becomes false or misleading in any respect, or if Subrecipient fails to keep or
perform any of the obligations, terms, or covenants in this Agreement or any previous agreement with
DEO or HUD, and/or has not cured them in timely fashion and/or is unable or unwilling to meet its
obligations under this Agreement and/or as required by statute, rule, or regulation;

right to exercise any remedies allowable herein or at law and without becoming liable to make any further
payment.
(e) Neither Party shall be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform under this Agreement
if such delay or failure is neither the fault nor the negligence of the Party or its employees or agents and
the delay is due directly to acts of God, wars, acts of public enemies, strikes, fires, floods, or other similar
cause wholly beyond the Party's control or for any of the foregoing that affects subcontractors or suppliers
if no alternate source of supply is available. However, in the event of delay from the foregoing causes, the
Party shall take all reasonable measures to mitigate any and all resulting delay or disruption in the Party's
performance obligation under this Agreement. If the delay is excusable under this paragraph, the delay will
not result in any additional charge or cost under the Agreement to either Party. In the case of any delay
Page 5 of 58
DocuSign Envelope ID: E62F2F5B-56DE-4CFB-B9CE-17D9AB34E362
DEO Agreement No.: IR026
the Subrecipient believes is excusable under this paragraph, Subrecipient shall notify DEO in writing of
the delay or potential delay and describe the cause of the delay either: (1) within ten (10) calendar days
after the cause that creates or will create the delay first arose, if Subrecipient could reasonably foresee that
a delay could occur as a result or (2) within five (5) calendar days after the date Subrecipient first had reason
to believe that a delay could result, if the delay is not reasonably foreseeable. THE FOREGOING
SHALL CONSTITUTE SUBRECIPIENT'S SOLE REMEDY OR EXCUSE WITH RESPECT
TO DELAY. Providing notice in strict accordance with this paragraph is a condition precedent to such
remedy. DEO, in its sole discretion, will determine if the delay is excusable under this paragraph and will
notify Subrecipient of its decision in writing. No claim for damages, other than an extension of time, shall
be asserted against DEO. Subrecipient shall not be entitled to an increase in the Agreement price or
payment of any kind from DEO for direct, indirect, consequential, impact or other costs, expenses or
damages, including but not limited to costs of acceleration or inefficiency arising because of delay,
disruption, interference or hindrance from any cause whatsoever. If performance is suspended or delayed,
in whole or in part, due to any of the causes described in this paragraph, after the causes have ceased to
exist, Subrecipient shall perform at no increased cost, unless DEO determines, in its sole discretion, that
the delay will significantly impair the value of the Agreement to DEO or the State, in which case, DEO
may do any or all of the following: (1) accept allocated performance or deliveries from Subrecipient,
provided that Subrecipient grants preferential treatment to DEO with respect to products or
services subjected to allocation; (2) purchase from other sources (without recourse to and by Subrecipient
for the related costs and expenses) to replace all or part of the products or services that are the subject of
the delay, which purchases may be deducted from the Agreement quantity or (3) terminate the Agreement
in whole or in part.
(13) REMEDIES
If an Event of Default occurs, DEO may in its sole discretion and without limiting any other right or
remedy available, provide thirty (30) calendar days written notice to the Subrecipient and if the Subrecipient

remedies, either concurrently or consecutively:

Notice and Contact;

(c) Withhold or suspend payment of all or any part of a request for payment;
(d) Demand Subrecipient return to DEO any funds used for ineligible activities or unallowable costs

extent of non-compliance or lack of performance;
2. Issue a written warning to advise that more serious measures may be taken if the situation is
not corrected; and/or
3. Advise the Subrecipient to suspend, discontinue or refrain from incurring costs for any
activities in question.
(� Exercise any other rights or remedies which may be otherwise available under law.
Pursuit of any of the above remedies does not preclude DEO from pursuing any other remedies in this
Agreement or provided at law or in equity. Failure to exercise any right or remedy in this Agreement or
failure by DEO to require strict performance does not affect, extend or waive any other right or remedy
Page 6 of 58

DEO Agreement No.: IR026

Subrecipient.

condition precedent to Subrecipient's ability to pursue any other form of dispute resolution; provided however,
that the Parties may mutually agree to employ the alternative dispute resolution procedures outlined in Chapter
120, F.S.

Federal and Federally funded buildings and other facilities to be designed, constructed, or altered in accordance
with standards that ensure accessibility to, and use by, physically handicapped people. A building or facility
designed, constructed or altered with funds allocated or reallocated under this part after December 11, 1995 and

The Americans with Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C. 12131; 47 U.S.C. 155, 201, 218 and 225) (ADA) provides
comprehensive civil rights to individuals with disabilities in the areas of employment, public accommodations,
State and local government services and telecommunications. It further provides that discrimination includes a
failure to design and construct facilities for first occupancy no later than January 26, 1993, that are readily
accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities. Further, the ADA requires the removal of architectural
barriers and communication barriers that are structural in nature in existing facilities, where such removal is
readily achievable —that is, easily accomplishable and able to be carried out without much difficulty or expense.
c. State and Local Nondiscrimination Provisions
The Subrecipient must comply with the Florida Small and Minority Business Assistance Act (§§ 288.703-288.706,

apply to the use of these funds. The Subrecipient shall not intimidate, threaten, coerce or discriminate against
any person for the purpose of interfering with any right or privilege secured by title VI of the Civil Rights

housing, accommodations, facilities, services, financial aid or other benefits to be provided will be operated
and administered in compliance with all requirements imposed by or pursuant to this part 1.
If the Federal financial assistance under this agreement is to provide or is in the form of personal property
or real property or interest therein or structures thereon, the Subrecipient's assurance herein shall obligate
the Subrecipient or, in the case of a subsequent transfer, the transferee, for the period during which the
property is used for a purpose for which the Federal financial assistance is extended or for another purpose
involving the provision of similar services or benefits, or for as long as the recipient retains ownership or
possession of the property, whichever is longer. In all other cases, the assurance shall obligate the
Subrecipient for the period during which Federal financial assistance is extended pursuant to the contract or

assurance and the requirements on real property.
In the case of real property, structures or improvements thereon, or interests therein, acquired with Federal
financial assistance under this Agreement or acquired with CDBG-MIT funds and provided to the
Subrecipient under this Agreement, the instrument effecting any disposition by the Subrecipient of such real
property, structures or improvements thereon, or interests therein, shall contain a covenant running with the
land assuring nondiscrimination for the period during which the real property is used for a purpose for which
the Federal financial assistance is extended or for another purpose involving the provision of similar services
or benefits. If the Subrecipient receives real property interests or funds or for the acquisition of real property
interests under this Agreement, to the extent that rights to space on, over, or under any such property are
included as part of the program receiving such assistance, the nondiscrimination requirements of this part 1

Attachment F — Civil Rights Compliance
Fair Housing
As a condition for the receipt of CDBG-MIT funds, each Subrecipient must certify that it will "affirmatively further fair
housing" in its community. A Subrecipient shall demonstrate its commitment to affirmatively further fair housing by
implementing the actions listed below.
Each Subrecipient shall do the following:
1. Have in place a fair housing resolution or ordinance that covers all Federally protected classes (race, color, familial
status, handicap, national origin, religion and sex);
2. Designate an employee as the Fair Housing Coordinator who is available during regular business hours to receive
fair housing calls;
3. Publish the Fair Housing Coordinator's contact information quarterly in a newspaper of general circulation in
the Subrecipient's jurisdiction so that people know who to call to ask fair housing questions or register a
complaint. Alternatively, the Subrecipient can post the coordinator's contact information throughout the quarter
on the home page of its website;
4. Establish a system to record the following for each fair housing call:
a) The nature of the call,
b) The actions taken in response to the call,
c) The results of the actions taken and
d) If the caller was referred to another agency, the results obtained by the referral agency;
5. Conduct at least one fair housing activity each quarter. Identical activities (see examples below) shall not be
conducted in consecutive quarters; and
6. Display a fair housing poster in the CDBG-MIT Office. (This does not count as a fair housing activity.)
The Subrecipient shall ensure that the fair housing contact person has received training so that he/she can handle fair
housing phone inquiries or refer the inquiries to the appropriate people/agencies. Records maintained by the contact will
help the community do the following:
1. Define where discriminatory practices are occurring,
2. Help the community measure the effectiveness of its outreach efforts, and
3. Provide the community with a means to gain information that can be used to design and implement strategies
that will eliminate fair housing impediments.
Examples of fair housing activities include the following:
1. Making fair housing presentations at schools, civic clubs and neighborhood association meetings;
2. Conducting a fair housing poster contest or an essay contest;
3. Manning a booth and distributing fair housing materials at libraries, health fairs, community events, yard sales
and church festivals; and
4. Conducting fair housing workshops for city/county employees, realtors, bank and mortgage company employees,
insurance agents and apartment complex owners.
Printing a fair housing notice on a utility bill is no longer accepted as a fair housing activity; however, mailing a DEO-
approved fair housing brochure as an insert with utility bills will be accepted as an activity. Placing posters in public
buildings does not meet the requirement for a fair housing activity.
The Subrecipient shall document its fair housing activities by keeping photographs, newspaper articles, sign -in sheets and
copies of handouts in their CDBG-MIT project file and include information about the activities in the comment section
of each quarterly report.

other aspects of employment, on the basis of race, color, rehg'on, sex, national origin, disability, age or genetics;
2. Designate an employee as the EEO Coordinator who is available during regular business hours to receive EEO
calls;
3. Publish the EEO Coordinator's contact information quarterly in a newspaper of general circulation in the
Subrecipient's jurisdiction so that people know who to call to ask EEO questions or register a complaint.
Alternatively, the Subrecipient can post the coordinator's contact information throughout the quarter on the
home page of its website; and
4. Establish a system to record the following for each EEO call:
a) The nature of the call,
b) The actions taken in response to the call and

owned business enterprises (WBE) that operate in its region. The Subrecipient shall use this Est to solicit
companies to bid on CDBG-MIT-funded construction activities and shall provide a copy of the Est to the prime
contractor(s) to use when it hires subcontractors and consultants. The Department of Management Services
maintains a Est of certified minority- and women -owned businesses that can be used to develop a local
MBE/WBE Est at the following website: https://osd.dms.myflorida.com/directories.
6. Incorporate the Equal Employment Opportunity clause set forth in 41 CFR Part 60-1.4(b) into any contracts or
subcontracts that meet the definition of "federally assisted construction contract" in 41 CFR 60-1.3.
Section 504 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
As a condition for the receipt of CDBG-MIT funds, the Subrecipient must certify that it provides access to all federally

in the Subrecipient's jurisdiction so that people know who to call to ask Section 504/ADA questions or register
a complaint. Alternatively, the Subrecipient can post the coordinator's contact information throughout the
quarter on the home page of its website; and

DocuSign Envelope ID: E62F2F5B-56DE-4CFB-B9CE-17D9AB34E362
c) The results of the actions taken.
Section 504 prohibitions against discrimination (see 45 CFR part 84) apply to service availability, accessibility, delivery
employment and the administrative activities and responsibilities of organizations receiving Federal financial assistance.
A Subrecipient of Federal financial assistance may not, on the basis of disability:
1. Deny qualified individuals the opportunity to participate in or benefit from Federally funded programs, services
or other benefits,
2. Deny access to programs, services, benefits or opportunities to participate as a result of physical barriers, or
3. Deny employment opportunities, including hiring, promotion, training and fringe benefits, for which they are
otherwise entitled or qualified.
The ADA regulations (Title II, 28 CFR part 35, and Title III, 28 CFR part 36) prohibit discrimination on the basis of
disability in employment, State and local government, public accommodations, commercial facilities, transportation, and
telecommunications. To be protected by the ADA, one must have a disability or have a relationship or association with
an individual with a disability.
Title II covers all activities of state and local governments regardless of the government entity's size or receipt of Federal
funding. Title II requires that State and local governments give people with disabilities an equal opportunity to benefit
from all of their programs, services and activities (e.g. public education, employment, transportation, recreation, health
care, social services, courts, voting and town meetings). State and local governments are required to follow specific
architectural standards in the new construction and alteration of their buildings. They also must relocate programs or
otherwise provide access in inaccessible older buildings, and communicate effectively with people who have hearing,
vision or speech disabilities.
Title III covers businesses and nonprofit service providers that are public accommodations, privately operated entities
offering certain types of courses and examinations, privately operated transportation and commercial facilities. Public
accommodations are private entities who own, lease, lease to or operate facilities such as restaurants, retail stores, hotels,
movie theaters, private schools, convention centers, doctors' offices, homeless shelters, transportation depots, zoos,
funeral homes, day care centers and recreation facilities including sports stadiums and fitness clubs. Transportation
services provided by private entities are also covered by Title III.
Section 3 - Economic Opportunities for Low- and Very Low -Income Persons
Each Subrecipient shall encourage its contractors to hire qualified low- and moderate -income residents for any job
openings that exist on CDBG-MIT-funded projects in the community. The Subrecipient and its contractors shall keep
records to document the number of low- and moderate -income people who are hired to work on CDBG-MIT-funded
projects. The number of low- and moderate -income residents who are hired to work of the project shall be reported in
the comment section of the quarterly report.
The following Section 3 clause is required to be included in CDBG-MIT-funded contracts of $100,000 or more:
Section 3 Clause

assisted projects covered by Section 3, shall, to the greatest extent feasible, be directed to low- and very low-
income persons, particularly persons who are Subrecipients of HUD assistance for housing.
2. The Parties to this contract agree to comply with HUD's regulations in 24 CFR part 75, which implement Section

positions can see the notice. The notice shall describe the Section 3 preference, shall set forth minimum number
and job titles subject to hire, availability of apprenticeship and training positions, the qualifications for each; and
the name and location of the person(s) taking applications for each of the positions; and the anticipated date the
work shall begin.
4. The contractor agrees to include this Section 3 clause in every subcontract subject to compliance with regulations
in 24 CFR part 75, and agrees to take appropriate action, as provided in an applicable provision of the subcontract
or in this Section 3 clause, upon a finding that the subcontractor is in violation of the regulations in 24 CFR part
75. The contractor will not subcontract with any subcontractor where the contractor has notice or knowledge
that the subcontractor has been found in violation of the regulations in 24 CFR part 75.
5. The contractor will certify that any vacant employment positions, including training positions, that are filled (1)
after the contractor is selected but before the contract is executed, and (2) with persons other than those to whom
the regulations of 24 CFR part 75 require employment opportunities to be directed, were not filled to circumvent
the contractors obligations under 24 CFR part 75.
6. Noncompliance with HUD's regulations in 24 CFR part 75 may result in sanctions, termination of this contract
for default and debarment or suspension from future HUD assisted contracts.
7. With respect to work performed in connection with Section 3 covered Indian housing assistance, Section 7(b) of
the Indian Self -Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. § 450e) also applies to the work to be
performed under this contract. Section 7(b) requires that to the greatest extent feasible (i) preference and
opportunities for training and employment shall be given to Indians, and (ii) preference in the award of contracts
and subcontracts shall be given to Indian organizations and Indian -owned Economic Enterprises. Parties to this
contract that are subject to the provisions of Section 3 and Section 7(b) agree to comply with Section 3 to the
maximum extent feasible, but not in derogation of compliance with Section 7(b).

release said information to DEO.

superior loan documents) hereafter receives any DOB Proceeds, Subrecipient agrees to promptly pay such
amounts to DEO, if Subrecipient received Grant Proceeds under the CDBG-MIT Program in an amount
greater than the amount Subrecipient would have received if such DOB Proceeds had been considered in the
calculation of Subrecipient's award.
In the event that the Subrecipient receives or is scheduled to receive any subsequent Proceeds, Subrecipient
shall pay such subsequent Proceeds directly to DEO, and DEO will determine the amount, if any, of such
