AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Approval of Modification to Subgrant Agreement #H0938 between The Division of Emergency
Management and Monroe County(Sub-Recipient)to extend time of completion of elevation projects to
February 28, 2025.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
On May 2, 2023 the Florida Division of Emergency Management(FDEM) and Monroe County entered
into a grant agreement (H0938) whereby FDEM passes through FEMA funding to the County to assist
with four(4) home elevations. The original completion date for the project was February 28, 2024.
This was not enough time to design,permit, and complete elevation of the homes. This modification
allows completion to be extended to February 28, 2025.
The purpose of the agreement is to provide funding for elevating four(4)private homes to decrease
future flooding possibilities: thereby decreasing risk to the National Flood Insurance Program, through
the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) DR-4337-513-R.
This agreement is a cost reimbursement agreement; as a result, FDEM will reimburse Monroe County
for all allowable costs incurred to complete the elevation of these residential structures.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
On 7/18/2018, following Hurricane Irma, the board granted approval to submit a HMGP application for
the elevation of residential properties.
On 4/19/2023, the board accepted the HMGP agreement (H0938)between Monroe County and FDEM
for the elevation of four(4)residential properties with a project cost of$720,140.00.

(4) TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Work, Attachment A of this Agreement.
(8) PERIOD OF AGREEMENT
This Agreement shall begin upon execution by both parties and shall end on February 28,
2024 , unless terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph (17) of this Agreement.
Consistent with the definition of"period of performance" contained in 2 C.F.R. §200.1, the term "period of
agreement" refers to the time during which the Sub-Recipient"may incur new obligations to carry out the
work authorized under"this Agreement. In accordance with section 215.971(1)(d), Florida Statutes, the
Sub-Recipient may expend funds authorized by this Agreement "only for allowable costs resulting from
obligations incurred during"the period of agreement.
(9) FUNDING
a. This is a cost-reimbursement Agreement, subject to the availability of funds.
4
3042
b. The State of Florida's performance and obligation to pay under this Agreement is
contingent upon an annual appropriation by the Legislature, and subject to any modification in
accordance with either chapter 216, Florida Statutes, or the Florida Constitution.
c. The Division will reimburse the Sub-Recipient only for allowable costs incurred by the
Sub-Recipient in the successful completion of each deliverable. The maximum reimbursement amount
for each deliverable is outlined in Attachment A of this Agreement ("Budget and Scope of Work"). The
maximum reimbursement amount for the entirety of this Agreement is$546,855.00 .
d. As required by 2 C.F.R. §200.415(a), any request for payment under this Agreement
must include a certification, signed by an official who is authorized to legally bind the Sub-Recipient,
which reads as follows: "By signing this report, I certify to the best of my knowledge and belief that the
report is true, complete, and accurate, and the expenditures, disbursements and cash receipts are for the
purposes and objectives set forth in the terms and conditions of the Federal award. I am aware that any
false, fictitious, or fraudulent information, or the omission of any material fact, may subject me to criminal,
civil or administrative penalties for fraud, false statements, false claims or otherwise. (U.S. Code Title 18,
Section 1001 and Title 31, Sections 3729-3730 and 3801-3812)."
e. The Division will review any request for reimbursement by comparing the
documentation provided by the Sub-Recipient against a performance measure, outlined in Attachment A,
that clearly delineates:
i. The required minimum acceptable level of service to be performed; and,
ii. The criteria for evaluating the successful completion of each deliverable.
f. The performance measure required by section 215.971(1)(b), Florida Statutes,
remains consistent with the requirement for a "performance goal", which is defined in 2 C.F.R. §200.1 as
"a target level of performance expressed as a tangible, measurable objective, against which actual
achievement can be compared." It also remains consistent with the requirement, contained in 2 C.F.R.
§200.329, that the Division and the Sub-Recipient"relate financial data to performance goals and
objectives of the Federal award."
g. If authorized by the Federal Awarding Agency, then the Division will reimburse the
Sub-Recipient for overtime expenses in accordance with 2 C.F.R. §200.430 ("Compensation—personal
services") and 2 C.F.R. §200.431 ("Compensation—fringe benefits"). If the Sub-Recipient seeks
reimbursement for overtime expenses for periods when no work is performed due to vacation, holiday,
illness, failure of the employer to provide sufficient work, or other similar cause (See 29 U.S.C.
§207(e)(2)), then the Division will treat the expense as a fringe benefit. 2 C.F.R. §200.431(a) defines
fringe benefits as "allowances and services provided by employers to their employees as compensation in
addition to regular salaries and wages." Fringe benefits are allowable under this Agreement as long as
the benefits are reasonable and are required by law, Sub-Recipient-employee agreement, or an
established policy of the Sub-Recipient. 2 C.F.R. §200.431(b) provides that the cost of fringe benefits in
5
3043
the form of regular compensation paid to employees during periods of authorized absences from the job,
such as for annual leave, family-related leave, sick leave, holidays, court leave, military leave,
administrative leave, and other similar benefits, are allowable if all of the following criteria are met:
i. They are provided under established written leave policies;
ii. The costs are equitably allocated to all related activities, including Federal
awards; and,
iii. The accounting basis (cash or accrual) selected for costing each type of
leave is consistently followed by the non-Federal entity or specified grouping of employees.
h. If authorized by the Federal Awarding Agency, then the Division will reimburse the
Sub-Recipient for travel expenses in accordance with 2 C.F.R. §200.474. As required by the Reference
Guide for State Expenditures, reimbursement for travel must be in accordance with section 112.061,
Florida Statutes, which includes submission of the claim on the approved state travel voucher. If the Sub-
Recipient seeks reimbursement for travel costs that exceed the amounts stated in section 112.061(6)(b),
Florida Statutes ($6 for breakfast, $11 for lunch, and $19 for dinner), then the Sub-Recipient must provide
documentation that:
i. The costs are reasonable and do not exceed charges normally allowed by
the Sub-Recipient in its regular operations as a result of the Sub-Recipient's written travel policy; and,
ii. Participation of the individual in the travel is necessary to the Federal award.
i. The Division's grant manager, as required by section 215.971(2)(c), Florida Statutes,
shall reconcile and verify all funds received against all funds expended during the grant agreement period
and produce a final reconciliation report. The final report must identify any funds paid in excess of the
expenditures incurred by the Sub-Recipient.
j. As defined by 2 C.F.R. §200.1, the term "improper payment" means or includes:
i. Any payment that should not have been made or that was made in an
incorrect amount (including overpayments and underpayments) under statutory, contractual,
administrative, or other legally applicable requirements; and,
ii. Any payment to an ineligible party, any payment for an ineligible good or
service, any duplicate payment, any payment for a good or service not received (except for such
payments where authorized by law), any payment that does not account for credit for applicable
discounts, and any payment where insufficient or lack of documentation prevents a reviewer from
discerning whether a payment was proper.
(10) RECORDS
a. As required by 2 C.F.R. §200.336, the Federal awarding agency, Inspectors General,
the Comptroller General of the United States, and the Division, or any of their authorized representatives,
shall enjoy the right of access to any documents, papers, or other records of the Sub-Recipient which are
pertinent to the Federal award, in order to make audits, examinations, excerpts, and transcripts. The right
6
3044
of access also includes timely and reasonable access to the Sub-Recipient's personnel for the purpose of
interview and discussion related to such documents. Finally, the right of access is not limited to the
required retention period but lasts as long as the records are retained.
b. As required by 2 C.F.R. §200.332(a)(5), the Division, the Chief Inspector General of
the State of Florida, the Florida Auditor General, or any of their authorized representatives, shall enjoy the
right of access to any documents, financial statements, papers, or other records of the Sub-Recipient
which are pertinent to this Agreement, in order to make audits, examinations, excerpts, and transcripts.
The right of access also includes timely and reasonable access to the Sub-Recipient's personnel for the
purpose of interview and discussion related to such documents.
c. As required by Florida Department of State's record retention requirements (Chapter
119, Florida Statutes) and by 2 C.F.R. §200.334, the Sub-Recipient shall retain sufficient records to show
its compliance with the terms of this Agreement, as well as the compliance of all subcontractors or
consultants paid from funds under this Agreement, for a period of five (5) years from the date of
submission of the final expenditure report. The following are the only exceptions to the five (5) year
requirement:
i. If any litigation, claim, or audit is started before the expiration of the 5-year
period, then the records must be retained until all litigation, claims, or audit findings involving the records
have been resolved and final action taken.
ii. When the Division or the Sub-Recipient is notified in writing by the Federal
awarding agency, cognizant agency for audit, oversight agency for audit, cognizant agency for indirect
costs, or pass-through entity to extend the retention period.
iii. Records for real property and equipment acquired with Federal funds must
be retained for 5 years after final disposition.
iv. When records are transferred to or maintained by the Federal awarding
agency or pass-through entity, the 5-year retention requirement is not applicable to the Sub-Recipient.
V. Records for program income transactions after the period of performance. In
some cases, recipients must report program income after the period of performance. Where there is such
a requirement, the retention period for the records pertaining to the earning of the program income starts
from the end of the non-Federal entity's fiscal year in which the program income is earned.
vi. Indirect cost rate proposals and cost allocations plans. This paragraph
applies to the following types of documents and their supporting records: indirect cost rate computations
or proposals, cost allocation plans, and any similar accounting computations of the rate at which a
particular group of costs is chargeable (such as computer usage chargeback rates or composite fringe
benefit rates).
7
3045
d. In accordance with 2 C.F.R. §200.335, the Federal awarding agency must request
transfer of certain records to its custody from the Division or the Sub-Recipient when it determines that
the records possess long-term retention value.
e. In accordance with 2 C.F.R. §200.336, the Division must always provide or accept
paper versions of Agreement information to and from the Sub-Recipient upon request. If paper copies
are submitted, then the Division must not require more than an original and two copies. When original
records are electronic and cannot be altered, there is no need to create and retain paper copies. When
original records are paper, electronic versions may be substituted through the use of duplication or other
forms of electronic media provided that they are subject to periodic quality control reviews, provide
reasonable safeguards against alteration, and remain readable.
f. As required by 2 C.F.R. §200.303, the Sub-Recipient shall take reasonable measures
to safeguard protected personally identifiable information and other information the Federal awarding
agency or the Division designates as sensitive or the Sub-Recipient considers sensitive consistent with
applicable Federal, state, local, and tribal laws regarding privacy and obligations of confidentiality.
g. Florida's Government in the Sunshine Law (Section 286.011, Florida Statutes)
provides the citizens of Florida with a right of access to governmental proceedings and mandates three,
basic requirements: (1) meetings of public boards or commissions must be open to the public; (2)
reasonable notice of such meetings must be given; and, (3) minutes of the meetings must be taken and
promptly recorded. The mere receipt of public funds by a private entity, standing alone, is insufficient to
bring that entity within the ambit of the open government requirements. However, the Government in the
Sunshine Law applies to private entities that provide services to governmental agencies and that act on
behalf of those agencies in the agencies' performance of their public duties. If a public agency delegates
the performance of its public purpose to a private entity, then, to the extent that private entity is
performing that public purpose, the Government in the Sunshine Law applies. For example, if a volunteer
fire department provides firefighting services to a governmental entity and uses facilities and equipment
purchased with public funds, then the Government in the Sunshine Law applies to board of directors for
that volunteer fire department. Thus, to the extent that the Government in the Sunshine Law applies to
the Sub-Recipient based upon the funds provided under this Agreement, the meetings of the Sub-
Recipient's governing board or the meetings of any subcommittee making recommendations to the
governing board may be subject to open government requirements. These meetings shall be publicly
noticed, open to the public, and the minutes of all the meetings shall be public records, available to the
public in accordance with chapter 119, Florida Statutes.
h. Florida's Public Records Law provides a right of access to the records of the state
and local governments as well as to private entities acting on their behalf. Unless specifically exempted
from disclosure by the Legislature, all materials made or received by a governmental agency (or a private
entity acting on behalf of such an agency) in conjunction with official business which are used to
8
3046
perpetuate, communicate, or formalize knowledge qualify as public records subject to public inspection.
The mere receipt of public funds by a private entity, standing alone, is insufficient to bring that entity
within the ambit of the public record requirements. However, when a public entity delegates a public
function to a private entity, the records generated by the private entity's performance of that duty become
public records. Thus, the nature and scope of the services provided by a private entity determine whether
that entity is acting on behalf of a public agency and is therefore subject to the requirements of Florida's
Public Records Law.
i. The Sub-Recipient shall maintain all records for the Sub-Recipient and for all
subcontractors or consultants to be paid from funds provided under this Agreement, including
documentation of all program costs, in a form sufficient to determine compliance with the requirements
and objectives of the Budget and Scope of Work-Attachment A- and all other applicable laws and
regulations.

APPLICATION OF CHAPTER 119, FLORIDA STATUTES, TO THE
CONTRACTOR'S DUTY TO PROVIDE PUBLIC RECORDS RELATING

a. The Sub-Recipient shall comply with the audit requirements contained in 2 C.F.R.
Part 200, Subpart F.
b. In accounting for the receipt and expenditure of funds under this Agreement, the

§200.1, GAAP "has the meaning specified in accounting standards issued by the Government Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)."
c. When conducting an audit of the Sub-Recipient's performance under this Agreement,
the Division shall use Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards ("GAGAS"). As defined by 2
C.F.R. §200.1, GAGAS, "also known as the Yellow Book, means generally accepted government auditing
standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, which are applicable to financial
audits."
d. If an audit shows that all or any portion of the funds disbursed were not spent in
accordance with the conditions of this Agreement, the Sub-Recipient shall be held liable for
reimbursement to the Division of all funds not spent in accordance with these applicable regulations and
Agreement provisions within thirty (30) days after the Division has notified the Sub-Recipient of such non-
compliance.
9
3047
e. The Sub-Recipient shall have all audits completed by an independent auditor, which
is defined in section 215.97(2)(i), Florida Statutes, as "an independent certified public accountant licensed
under chapter 473." The independent auditor shall state that the audit complied with the applicable
provisions noted above. The audit must be received by the Division no later than nine months from the
end of the Sub-Recipient's fiscal year.
f. The Sub-Recipient shall send copies of reporting packages for audits conducted in
accordance with 2 C.F.R. Part 200, by or on behalf of the Sub-Recipient, to the Division at the following
address:

2555 Shumard Oak Boulevard
Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2100
(12) REPORTS
a. Consistent with 2 C.F.R. §200.328, the Sub-Recipient shall provide the Division with
quarterly reports and a close-out report. These reports shall include the current status and progress by
the Sub-Recipient and all subcontractors in completing the work described in the Scope of Work and the
expenditure of funds under this Agreement, in addition to any other information requested by the Division.
b. Quarterly reports are due to the Division no later than fifteen (15) days after the end
of each quarter of the program year and shall be sent each quarter until submission of the administrative
close-out report. The ending dates for each quarter of the program year are March 31, June 30,
September 30, and December 31.
c. The close-out report is due sixty (60) days after termination of this Agreement or sixty
(60) days after completion of the activities contained in this Agreement, whichever first occurs.
10
3048
d. If all required reports and copies are not sent to the Division or are not completed in a
manner acceptable to the Division, then the Division may withhold further payments until they are
completed or may take other action as stated in Paragraph (16) REMEDIES. "Acceptable to the
Division" means that the work product was completed in accordance with the Budget and Scope of Work.
e. The Sub-Recipient shall provide additional program updates or information that may
be required by the Division.
f. The Sub-Recipient shall provide additional reports and information identified in
Attachment F.
(13) MONITORING
a. The Sub-Recipient shall monitor its performance under this Agreement, as well as
that of its subcontractors and/or consultants who are paid from funds provided under this Agreement, to
ensure that time schedules are being met, the Schedule of Deliverables and Scope of Work are being
accomplished within the specified time periods, and other performance goals are being achieved. A
review shall be done for each function or activity in Attachment A to this Agreement and reported in the
quarterly report.
b. In addition to reviews of audits, monitoring procedures may include, but not be limited
to, on-site visits by Division staff, limited scope audits, and/or other procedures. The Sub-Recipient
agrees to comply and cooperate with any monitoring procedures/processes deemed appropriate by the
Division. In the event that the Division determines that a limited scope audit of the Sub-Recipient is
appropriate, the Sub-Recipient agrees to comply with any additional instructions provided by the Division
to the Sub-Recipient regarding such audit. The Sub-Recipient further agrees to comply and cooperate
with any inspections, reviews, investigations or audits deemed necessary by the Florida Chief Financial
Officer or Auditor General. In addition, the Division will monitor the performance and financial
management by the Sub-Recipient throughout the contract term to ensure timely completion of all tasks.
(14) LIABILITY
a. Unless Sub-Recipient is a State agency or subdivision, as defined in section
768.28(2), Florida Statutes, the Sub-Recipient is solely responsible to parties it deals with in carrying out
the terms of this Agreement and, as authorized by section 768.28(19), Florida Statutes, Sub-Recipient
shall hold the Division harmless against all claims of whatever nature by third parties arising from the

contract modification subject to Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, with a contractor

enterprises on solicitation lists;
ii. Assuring that small and minority businesses, and women's business
enterprises are solicited whenever they are potential sources;

encourage participation by small and minority businesses, and women's business enterprises;
V. Using the services and assistance, as appropriate, of such organizations as
the Small Business Administration and the Minority Business Development Agency of the Department of
Commerce; and
vi. Requiring the prime contractor, if subcontracts are to be let, to take the
affirmative steps listed in paragraphs i. through v. of this subparagraph.
b. The requirement outlined in subparagraph a. above, sometimes referred to as
"socioeconomic contracting," does not impose an obligation to set aside either the solicitation or award of
a contract to these types of firms. Rather, the requirement only imposes an obligation to carry out and
document the six affirmative steps identified above.
c. The "socioeconomic contracting" requirement outlines the affirmative steps that the
Sub-Recipient must take; the requirements do not preclude the Sub-Recipient from undertaking additional
steps to involve small and minority businesses and women's business enterprises.
d. The requirement to divide total requirements, when economically feasible, into
smaller tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by small and minority businesses, and
women's business enterprises, does not authorize the Sub-Recipient to break a single project down into
smaller components in order to circumvent the micro-purchase or small purchase thresholds so as to
utilize streamlined acquisition procedures (e.g. "project splitting").

Budget and Scope of Work
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Scope of Work is to elevate four(4) single family properties in Monroe County, Florida,
funded through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) DR-4337-513-R, as approved by the Florida
Division of Emergency Management(Division) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA).
The Sub-Recipient, Monroe County, agrees to administer and complete the project per the application
submitted by the Sub-Recipient and subsequently approved by the Division and FEMA. The Sub-Recipient
shall complete the work in accordance with all applicable Federal, State and Local Laws, Regulations and
Codes.
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
As a Hazard Mitigation Grant Program project, the Sub-Recipient proposes to provide flood protection to
four(4) single family properties, located in Monroe County, Florida, 33043, 33050 and 33001.
The proposed project shall elevate the existing one-story structures above the Base Flood Elevation
(BFE) with at least 2.0 feet of freeboard. The scope of work shall include building and site preparation
along with disconnection and reconnection of utilities. The structures shall be separated from their
foundation and raised in place with hydraulic jacks. A new open foundation on piers, pilings or concrete
columns shall be erected per engineering designs and temporary lifting equipment shall be released
after the foundation system is appropriately connected to each floor structure. Construction of
appropriate means of ingress and egress shall be provided, and all utilities and service equipment shall
be elevated to required height. The subject structures, located within the community's Special Flood
Hazard Areas (SFHA), are at risk of flooding since their lowest floor elevations are well below the
identified Base Flood Elevations (BFE). The proposed project shall greatly reduce future damage,
health, and safety risk for these homeowners.

Sub-Recipient Management Costs (SRMC) expenditure must adhere to FEMA Policy #104-11-1
HMGP Management Costs (Interim) signed November 14, 2018. FEMA defines management costs
as any: Indirect costs, Direct administrative costs, and other administrative expenses associated with
a specific project. Administrative costs are expenses incurred by a Sub-Recipient in managing and
administering the federal award to ensure that federal, state requirements are met including:
solicitation, development, review, and processing of sub-applications; delivery of technical assistance;
quarterly progress and fiscal reporting; project monitoring; technical monitoring; compliance activities
associated with federal procurement requirements; documentation of quality of work verification for
quarterly reports and closeout; payment of claims; closeout review and liquidation; and records
retention.
Any activities that are directly related to a project are not eligible under management costs. For
example, architectural, engineering, and design services are project costs and cannot be included
under management costs. Similarly, construction management activities that manage, coordinate, and
supervise the construction process from project scoping to project completion are project costs. These
activities cannot be included under management costs.
Due to Strategic Funds Management (SFM), SRMC Interim Policy requires management costs to be
obligated in increments sufficient to cover Sub-Recipient needs, for no more than one year, unless
contractual agreements require additional funding. FEMA has established a threshold where annual
increments will be applied to larger awards allowing smaller awards to be fully obligated. Obligations
will be handled by the size of the total subaward.

Instructions and Worksheet
PURPOSE: The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA)was signed on
September 26, 2006. The intent of this legislation is to empower every American with the ability to hold
the government accountable for each spending decision. The FFATA legislation requires information on
federal awards (federal assistance and expenditures) be made available to the public via a single,
searchable website, which is Ilhttl13://www.Laisasli)eiridliiriq.gnv/.
The FFATA Sub-award Reporting System (FSRS) is the reporting tool the Florida Division of Emergency
Management ("FDEM" or"Division") must use to capture and report sub-award and executive
compensation data regarding first-tier sub-awards that obligate $25,000 or more in Federal funds
(excluding Recovery funds as defined in section 1512(a)(2) of the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009, Pub. L. 111-5).
Note: This "Instructions and Worksheet" is meant to explain the requirements of the FFATA and give
clarity to the FFATA Form distributed to sub-awardees for completion. All pertinent information below
should be filled out, signed, and returned to the project manager.
ORGANIZATION AND PROJECT INFORMATION
The following information must be provided to the FDEM prior to the FDEM's issuance of a sub-
award (Agreement)that obligates $25,000 or more in federal funds as described above. Please

As a Hazard Mitigation Grant Program project,the Sub-Recipient proposes to provide flood protection to
four(4) single family properties, located in Monroe County, Florida, 33043, 33050 and 33001.
The proposed project shall elevate the existing one-story structures above the Base Flood Elevation
(BFE) with at least 2.0 feet of freeboard. The scope of work shall include building and site preparation
along with disconnection and reconnection of utilities. The structures shall be separated from their
foundation and raised in place with hydraulic jacks. A new open foundation on piers, pilings or
concrete columns shall be erected per engineering designs and temporary lifting equipment shall be
released after the foundation system is appropriately connected to each floor structure. Construction
of appropriate means of ingress and egress shall be provided, and all utilities and service equipment
shall be elevated to required height. The subject structures, located within the community's Special
Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA), are at risk of flooding since their lowest floor elevations are well below
the identified Base Flood Elevations (BFE). The proposed project shall greatly reduce future damage,
health, and safety risk for these homeowners.
Verify the approved project description above, if there is any discrepancy, please contact the project
manager.

Contracts Under Federal Awards
In addition to other provisions required by the Federal agency or non-Federal entity, all contracts
made by the non-Federal entity under the Federal award must contain provisions covering the following,
as applicable.

remedies in instances where contractors violate or breach contract terms, and provide for such sanctions

(B)All contracts in excess of$10,000 must address termination for cause and for convenience by
the non-Federal entity including the manner by which it will be affected and the basis for settlement.
(C) Equal Employment Opportunity. Except as otherwise provided under 41 C.F.R. Part 60, all
contracts that meet the definition of"federally assisted construction contract" in 41 C.F.R. Part 60-1.3

Executive Order 11246, "Equal Employment Opportunity" (30 FR 12319, 12935, 3 C.F.R. Part, 1964-1965
Comp., p. 339), as amended by Executive Order 11375, "Amending Executive Order 11246 Relating to

Contract Compliance Programs, Equal Employment Opportunity, Department of Labor."
(D) Davis-Bacon Act, as amended (40 U.S.C. 3141-3148). When required by Federal program

Budget and Scope of Work
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Scope of Work is to elevate (4) single family properties in Monroe County, Florida,
funded through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)DR-4337-513-R, as approved by the Florida
Division of Emergency Management(Division)and the Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA).
The Sub-Recipient, Monroe County, agrees to administer and complete the project per the application
submitted by the Sub-Recipient and subsequently approved by the Division and FEMA. The Sub-Recipient
shall complete the work in accordance with all applicable Federal, State and Local Laws, Regulations and
Codes.
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
As a Hazard Mitigation Grant Program project, the Sub-Recipient proposes to provide flood protection to
four (4) single family properties, located in Monroe County, Florida, 33043, 33050, and 33001.
The proposed project shall elevate the existing one-story structures above the Base Flood Elevation
(BFE)with at least 2.0 feet of freeboard. The scope of work shall include building and site preparation
along with disconnection and reconnection of utilities. The structures shall be separated from their
foundation and raised in place with hydraulic jacks. A new open foundation on piers, pilings or concrete
columns shall be erected per engineering designs and temporary lifting equipment shall be released
after the foundation system is appropriately connected to each floor structure. Construction of
appropriate means of ingress and egress shall be provided, and all utilities and service equipment shall
be elevated to required height. The subject structures, located within the community's Special Flood
Hazard Areas (SFHA), are at risk of flooding since their lowest floor elevations are well below the
identified Base Flood Elevations (BFE). The proposed project shall greatly reduce future damage,
health, and safety risk for these homeowners.

Sub-Recipient Management Costs (SRMC) expenditure must adhere to FEMA Policy #104-11-1
HMGP Management Costs (Interim) signed November 14, 2018. FEMA defines management costs
as any: Indirect costs, Direct administrative costs, and other administrative expenses associated with
a specific project. Administrative costs are expenses incurred by a Sub-Recipient in managing and
administering the federal award to ensure that federal, state requirements are met including:
solicitation, development, review, and processing of sub-applications; delivery of technical assistance;
quarterly progress and fiscal reporting; project monitoring; technical monitoring; compliance activities
associated with federal procurement requirements; documentation of quality of work verification for
quarterly reports and closeout; payment of claims; closeout review and liquidation; and records
retention.
Any activities that are directly related to a project are not eligible under management costs. For
example, architectural, engineering, and design services are project costs and cannot be included
under management costs. Similarly,construction management activities that manage, coordinate, and
supervise the construction process from project scoping to project completion are project costs. These
activities cannot be included under management costs.
Due to Strategic Funds Management (SFM), SRMC Interim Policy requires management costs to be
obligated in increments sufficient to cover Sub-Recipient needs, for no more than one year, unless
contractual agreements require additional funding. FEMA has established a threshold where annual
increments will be applied to larger awards allowing smaller awards to be fully obligated. Obligations
will be handled by the size of the total subaward.
The Sub-Recipient shall pre-audit all SRMC source documentation—personnel,fringe benefits, travel,
equipment, supplies, contractual, and indirect costs. A brief narrative is required to identify what the
funds will be used for. Documentation shall be detailed and clearly describe each approved task
performed, hours devoted to each task, and the hourly rate charged including enough information to
calculate the hourly rates based on payroll records. Employee benefits and tasks shall be clearly
shown on the Personnel Activity Form, and all Personnel or Contractual SRMC shall be invoiced
6
3106

FEMA Policy#104-11-1 for SRMC): The Sub-Recipient shall pre-audit source documentation such as
payroll records, project time sheets, attendance logs, etc. Documentation shall be detailed information
describing tasks performed, hours devoted to each task, and the hourly rate charged for each hour
including enough information to calculate the hourly rates based on payroll records. Employee benefits
shall be clearly shown.
The Division shall review all submitted requests for reimbursement for basic accuracy of information.
Further, the Division shall ensure that no unauthorized work was completed prior to the approved
project start date by verifying vendor and contractor invoices. The Division shall verify that reported
costs were incurred in the performance of eligible work, that the approved work was completed, and
that the mitigation measures are in compliance with the approved scope of work prior to processing
any requests for reimbursement.
Review and approval of any third-party in-kind services, if applicable,shall be conducted by the Division
in coordination with the Sub-Recipient.
Quarterly reports shall be submitted by the Sub-Recipient and received by the Division at the times
provided in this agreement prior to the processing of any reimbursement.
