c. If a different Grant Manager is designated by either party after execution of this Agreement, notice of the name
and contact information of the new Grant Manager will be submitted in writing to the other party and maintained
in the respective parties’ records. A change of Grant Manager does not require a formal amendment or change

between both parties. A formal amendment to this Agreement is required for changes which cause any of the
following:
(1) an increase or decrease in the Agreement funding amount;

(3) a change in the expiration date of the Agreement; and/or

Plan, are less than twenty percent (20%) of the total budget as last approved by Department;

execution of this Agreement may be reimbursable or used for match purposes if permitted by the Special Terms and
Conditions.
Attachment 1
2 of 13
Rev. 8/8/2023
4. Deliverables.
The Grantee agrees to render the services or other units of deliverables as set forth in Attachment 3, Grant Work Plan.
The services or other units of deliverables shall be delivered in accordance with the schedule and at the pricing outlined
in the Grant Work Plan. Deliverables may be comprised of activities that must be completed prior to Department
making payment on that deliverable. The Grantee agrees to perform in accordance with the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement and all attachments and exhibits incorporated by the Standard Grant Agreement.
5. Performance Measures.
The Grantee warrants that: (1) the services will be performed by qualified personnel; (2) the services will be of the
kind and quality described in the Grant Work Plan; (3) the services will be performed in a professional and
workmanlike manner in accordance with industry standards and practices; (4) the services shall not and do not
knowingly infringe upon the intellectual property rights, or any other proprietary rights, of any third party; and (5) its
employees, subcontractors, and/or subgrantees shall comply with any security and safety requirements and processes,
if provided by Department, for work done at the Project Location(s). The Department reserves the right to investigate
or inspect at any time to determine whether the services or qualifications offered by Grantee meet the Agreement
requirements. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, written acceptance of a particular deliverable
does not foreclose Department’s remedies in the event deficiencies in the deliverable cannot be readily measured at
the time of delivery.
6. Acceptance of Deliverables.
a. Acceptance Process. All deliverables must be received and accepted in writing by Department’s Grant Manager
before payment. The Grantee shall work diligently to correct all deficiencies in the deliverable that remain
outstanding, within a reasonable time at Grantee’s expense. If Department’s Grant Manager does not accept the
deliverables within 30 days of receipt, they will be deemed rejected.
b. Rejection of Deliverables. The Department reserves the right to reject deliverables, as outlined in the Grant
Work Plan, as incomplete, inadequate, or unacceptable due, in whole or in part, to Grantee’s lack of satisfactory
performance under the terms of this Agreement. The Grantee’s efforts to correct the rejected deliverables will
be at Grantee’s sole expense. Failure to fulfill the applicable technical requirements or complete all tasks or
activities in accordance with the Grant Work Plan will result in rejection of the deliverable and the associated
invoice. Payment for the rejected deliverable will not be issued unless the rejected deliverable is made
acceptable to Department in accordance with the Agreement requirements. The Department, at its option, may
allow additional time within which Grantee may remedy the objections noted by Department. The Grantee’s
failure to make adequate or acceptable deliverables after a reasonable opportunity to do so shall constitute an
event of default.
7. Financial Consequences for Nonperformance.
a. Withholding Payment. In addition to the specific consequences explained in the Grant Work Plan and/or
Special Terms and Conditions, the State of Florida (State) reserves the right to withhold payment when the
Grantee has failed to perform/comply with provisions of this Agreement. None of the financial consequences
for nonperformance in this Agreement as more fully described in the Grant Work Plan shall be considered
penalties.
b. Invoice reduction
If Grantee does not meet a deadline for any deliverable, the Department will reduce the invoice by 1% for each
day the deadline is missed, unless an extension is approved in writing by the Department.
c. Corrective Action Plan. If Grantee fails to correct all the deficiencies in a rejected deliverable within the specified
timeframe, Department may, in its sole discretion, request that a proposed Corrective Action Plan (CAP) be
submitted by Grantee to Department. The Department requests that Grantee specify the outstanding deficiencies
in the CAP. All CAPs must be able to be implemented and performed in no more than sixty (60) calendar days.
i. The Grantee shall submit a CAP within ten (10) days of the date of the written request from
Department. The CAP shall be sent to the Department’s Grant Manager for review and approval.
Within ten (10) days of receipt of a CAP, Department shall notify Grantee in writing whether the
CAP proposed has been accepted. If the CAP is not accepted, Grantee shall have ten (10) days from
receipt of Department letter rejecting the proposal to submit a revised proposed CAP. Failure to
obtain Department approval of a CAP as specified above may result in Department’s termination of
this Agreement for cause as authorized in this Agreement.
ii. Upon Department’s notice of acceptance of a proposed CAP, Grantee shall have ten (10) days to
commence implementation of the accepted plan. Acceptance of the proposed CAP by Department
does not relieve Grantee of any of its obligations under the Agreement. In the event the CAP fails
to correct or eliminate performance deficiencies by Grantee, Department shall retain the right to
Attachment 1
3 of 13
Rev. 8/8/2023
require additional or further remedial steps, or to terminate this Agreement for failure to perform.
No actions approved by Department or steps taken by Grantee shall preclude Department from
subsequently asserting any deficiencies in performance. The Grantee shall continue to implement
the CAP until all deficiencies are corrected. Reports on the progress of the CAP will be made to
Department as requested by Department’s Grant Manager.
iii. Failure to respond to a Department request for a CAP or failure to correct a deficiency in the
performance of the Agreement as specified by Department may result in termination of the
Agreement.
8. Payment.
a. Payment Process. Subject to the terms and conditions established by the Agreement, the pricing per deliverable
established by the Grant Work Plan, and the billing procedures established by Department, Department agrees
to pay Grantee for services rendered in accordance with section 215.422, Florida Statutes (F.S.).
b. Taxes. The Department is exempted from payment of State sales, use taxes and Federal excise taxes. The Grantee,
however, shall not be exempted from paying any taxes that it is subject to, including State sales and use taxes, or
for payment by Grantee to suppliers for taxes on materials used to fulfill its contractual obligations with
Department. The Grantee shall not use Department's exemption number in securing such materials. The Grantee
shall be responsible and liable for the payment of all its FICA/Social Security and other taxes resulting from this
Agreement.
c. Maximum Amount of Agreement. The maximum amount of compensation under this Agreement, without an
amendment, is described in the Standard Grant Agreement. Any additional funds necessary for the completion of
this Project are the responsibility of Grantee.
d. Reimbursement for Costs. The Grantee shall be paid on a cost reimbursement basis for all eligible Project costs
upon the completion, submittal, and approval of each deliverable identified in the Grant Work Plan.

reimbursement, costs must be in compliance with laws, rules, and regulations applicable to expenditures of State
funds, including, but not limited to, the Reference Guide for State Expenditures, which can be accessed at the

post-audit to be performed. The Grantee shall only invoice Department for deliverables that are completed in
accordance with the Grant Work Plan.

deliverables to date have first been accepted in writing by Department's Grant Manager.
h. Final Payment Request. A final payment request should be submitted to Department no later than sixty (60) days
following the expiration date of the Agreement to ensure the availability of funds for payment. However, all
work performed pursuant to the Grant Work Plan must be performed on or before the expiration date of the
Agreement.
i. Annual Appropriation Contingency. The State’s performance and obligation to pay under this Agreement is
contingent upon an annual appropriation by the Legislature. This Agreement is not a commitment of future
appropriations. Authorization for continuation and completion of work and any associated payments may be
rescinded, with proper notice, at the discretion of Department if the Legislature reduces or eliminates
appropriations.

Rev. 8/8/2023
k. Refund of Payments to the Department. Any balance of unobligated funds that have been advanced or paid must
be refunded to Department. Any funds paid in excess of the amount to which Grantee or subgrantee is entitled
under the terms of the Agreement must be refunded to Department. If this Agreement is funded with federal funds
and the Department is required to refund the federal government, the Grantee shall refund the Department its
share of those funds.
9. Documentation Required for Cost Reimbursement Grant Agreements and Match.
If Cost Reimbursement or Match is authorized in Attachment 2, Special Terms and Conditions, the following
conditions apply. Supporting documentation must be provided to substantiate cost reimbursement or match
requirements for the following budget categories:
a. Salary/Wages. Grantee shall list personnel involved, position classification, direct salary rates, and hours spent
on the Project in accordance with Attachment 3, Grant Work Plan in their documentation for reimbursement or
match requirements.
b. Overhead/Indirect/General and Administrative Costs. If Grantee is being reimbursed for or claiming match for
multipliers, all multipliers used (i.e., fringe benefits, overhead, indirect, and/or general and administrative rates)
shall be supported by audit. If Department determines that multipliers charged by Grantee exceeded the rates
supported by audit, Grantee shall be required to reimburse such funds to Department within thirty (30) days of
written notification. Interest shall be charged on the excessive rate.
c. Contractual Costs (Subcontractors). Match or reimbursement requests for payments to subcontractors must be
substantiated by copies of invoices with backup documentation identical to that required from Grantee.
Subcontracts which involve payments for direct salaries shall clearly identify the personnel involved, salary rate
per hour, and hours spent on the Project. All eligible multipliers used (i.e., fringe benefits, overhead, indirect,
and/or general and administrative rates) shall be supported by audit. If Department determines that multipliers
charged by any subcontractor exceeded the rates supported by audit, Grantee shall be required to reimburse such
funds to Department within thirty (30) days of written notification. Interest shall be charged on the excessive
rate. Nonconsumable and/or nonexpendable personal property or equipment costing $5,000 or more purchased

Chapter 69I-72, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.) and/or Chapter 69I-73, F.A.C., as applicable. The Grantee
shall be responsible for maintaining appropriate property records for any subcontracts that include the purchase
of equipment as part of the delivery of services. The Grantee shall comply with this requirement and ensure its
subcontracts issued under this Agreement, if any, impose this requirement, in writing, on its subcontractors.
i. For fixed-price (vendor) subcontracts, the following provisions shall apply: The Grantee may
award, on a competitive basis, fixed-price subcontracts to consultants/contractors in performing the
work described in Attachment 3, Grant Work Plan. Invoices submitted to Department for fixed-
price subcontracted activities shall be supported with a copy of the subcontractor’s invoice and a
copy of the tabulation form for the competitive procurement process (e.g., Invitation to Bid, Request
for Proposals, or other similar competitive procurement document) resulting in the fixed-price
subcontract. The Grantee may request approval from Department to award a fixed-price subcontract
resulting from procurement methods other than those identified above. In this instance, Grantee shall
request the advance written approval from Department’s Grant Manager of the fixed price
negotiated by Grantee. The letter of request shall be supported by a detailed budget and Scope of
Services to be performed by the subcontractor. Upon receipt of Department Grant Manager’s
approval of the fixed-price amount, Grantee may proceed in finalizing the fixed-price subcontract.
ii. If the procurement is subject to the Consultant’s Competitive Negotiation Act under section
287.055, F.S. or the Brooks Act, Grantee must provide documentation clearly evidencing it has
complied with the statutory or federal requirements.
d. Travel. All requests for match or reimbursement of travel expenses shall be in accordance with section 112.061,
F.S.
e. Direct Purchase Equipment. For the purposes of this Agreement, Equipment is defined as capital outlay costing
$5,000 or more. Match or reimbursement for Grantee’s direct purchase of equipment is subject to specific
approval of Department, and does not include any equipment purchased under the delivery of services to be
completed by a subcontractor. Include copies of invoices or receipts to document purchases, and a properly
completed Exhibit B, Property Reporting Form.
f. Rental/Lease of Equipment. Match or reimbursement requests for rental/lease of equipment must include copies
of invoices or receipts to document charges.
g. Miscellaneous/Other Expenses. If miscellaneous or other expenses, such as materials, supplies, non-excluded
phone expenses, reproduction, or mailing, are reimbursable or available for match or reimbursement under the
Attachment 1
5 of 13
Rev. 8/8/2023
terms of this Agreement, the documentation supporting these expenses must be itemized and include copies of
receipts or invoices. Additionally, independent of Grantee’s contract obligations to its subcontractor, Department
shall not reimburse any of the following types of charges: cell phone usage; attorney’s fees or court costs; civil
or administrative penalties; or handling fees, such as set percent overages associated with purchasing supplies or
equipment.
h. Land Acquisition. Reimbursement for the costs associated with acquiring interest and/or rights to real property
(including access rights through ingress/egress easements, leases, license agreements, or other site access
agreements; and/or obtaining record title ownership of real property through purchase) must be supported by the
following, as applicable: Copies of Property Appraisals, Environmental Site Assessments, Surveys and Legal
Descriptions, Boundary Maps, Acreage Certification, Title Search Reports, Title Insurance, Closing
Statements/Documents, Deeds, Leases, Easements, License Agreements, or other legal instrument documenting
acquired property interest and/or rights. If land acquisition costs are used to meet match requirements, Grantee
agrees that those funds shall not be used as match for any other Agreement supported by State or Federal funds.
10. Status Reports.
The Grantee shall submit status reports quarterly, unless otherwise specified in the Attachments, on Exhibit A,
Progress Report Form, to Department’s Grant Manager describing the work performed during the reporting period,
problems encountered, problem resolutions, scheduled updates, and proposed work for the next reporting period.
Quarterly status reports are due no later than twenty (20) days following the completion of the quarterly reporting
period. For the purposes of this reporting requirement, the quarterly reporting periods end on March 31, June 30,
September 30 and December 31. The Department will review the required reports submitted by Grantee within thirty
(30) days.
11. Retainage.
The following provisions apply if Department withholds retainage under this Agreement:
a. The Department reserves the right to establish the amount and application of retainage on the work performed
under this Agreement up to the maximum percentage described in Attachment 2, Special Terms and Conditions.
Retainage may be withheld from each payment to Grantee pending satisfactory completion of work and approval
of all deliverables.
b. If Grantee fails to perform the requested work or fails to perform the work in a satisfactory manner, Grantee shall
forfeit its right to payment of the retainage associated with the work. Failure to perform includes, but is not
limited to, failure to submit the required deliverables or failure to provide adequate documentation that the work
was actually performed. The Department shall provide written notification to Grantee of the failure to perform
that shall result in retainage forfeiture. If the Grantee does not correct the failure to perform within the timeframe
stated in Department’s notice, the retainage will be forfeited to Department.
c. No retainage shall be released or paid for incomplete work while this Agreement is suspended.
d. Except as otherwise provided above, Grantee shall be paid the retainage associated with the work, provided
Grantee has completed the work and submits an invoice for retainage held in accordance with the invoicing
procedures under this Agreement.
12. Insurance.
a. Insurance Requirements for Sub-Grantees and/or Subcontractors. The Grantee shall require its sub-grantees
and/or subcontractors, if any, to maintain insurance coverage of such types and with such terms and limits as
described in this Agreement. The Grantee shall require all its sub-grantees and/or subcontractors, if any, to
make compliance with the insurance requirements of this Agreement a condition of all contracts that are related
to this Agreement. Sub-grantees and/or subcontractors must provide proof of insurance upon request.
b. Deductibles. The Department shall be exempt from, and in no way liable for, any sums of money representing a
deductible in any insurance policy. The payment of such deductible shall be the sole responsibility of the
Grantee providing such insurance.
c. Proof of Insurance. Upon execution of this Agreement, Grantee shall provide Department documentation
demonstrating the existence and amount for each type of applicable insurance coverage prior to performance of
any work under this Agreement. Upon receipt of written request from Department, Grantee shall furnish
Department with proof of applicable insurance coverage by standard form certificates of insurance, a self-
insured authorization, or other certification of self-insurance.
d. Duty to Maintain Coverage. In the event that any applicable coverage is cancelled by the insurer for any
reason, or if Grantee cannot get adequate coverage, Grantee shall immediately notify Department of such
cancellation and shall obtain adequate replacement coverage conforming to the requirements herein and provide
proof of such replacement coverage within ten (10) days after the cancellation of coverage.
Attachment 1
6 of 13
Rev. 8/8/2023
e. Insurance Trust. If the Grantee’s insurance is provided through an insurance trust, the Grantee shall instead add
the Department of Environmental Protection, its employees, and officers as an additional covered party
everywhere the Agreement requires them to be added as an additional insured.
13. Termination.
a. Termination for Convenience. When it is in the State’s best interest, Department may, at its sole discretion,
terminate the Agreement in whole or in part by giving 30 days’ written notice to Grantee. The Department shall
notify Grantee of the termination for convenience with instructions as to the effective date of termination or the
specific stage of work at which the Agreement is to be terminated. The Grantee must submit all invoices for
work to be paid under this Agreement within thirty (30) days of the effective date of termination. The
Department shall not pay any invoices received after thirty (30) days of the effective date of termination.
b. Termination for Cause. The Department may terminate this Agreement if any of the events of default described
in the Events of Default provisions below occur or in the event that Grantee fails to fulfill any of its other
obligations under this Agreement. If, after termination, it is determined that Grantee was not in default, or that
the default was excusable, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the termination had
been issued for the convenience of Department. The rights and remedies of Department in this clause are in
addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or under this Agreement.
c. Grantee Obligations upon Notice of Termination. After receipt of a notice of termination or partial termination
unless as otherwise directed by Department, Grantee shall not furnish any service or deliverable on the date, and
to the extent specified, in the notice. However, Grantee shall continue work on any portion of the Agreement
not terminated. If the Agreement is terminated before performance is completed, Grantee shall be paid only for
that work satisfactorily performed for which costs can be substantiated. The Grantee shall not be entitled to
recover any cancellation charges or lost profits.
d. Continuation of Prepaid Services. If Department has paid for any services prior to the expiration, cancellation,
or termination of the Agreement, Grantee shall continue to provide Department with those services for which it
has already been paid or, at Department’s discretion, Grantee shall provide a refund for services that have been
paid for but not rendered.
e. Transition of Services Upon Termination, Expiration, or Cancellation of the Agreement. If services provided
under the Agreement are being transitioned to another provider(s), Grantee shall assist in the smooth transition
of Agreement services to the subsequent provider(s). This requirement is at a minimum an affirmative
obligation to cooperate with the new provider(s), however additional requirements may be outlined in the Grant
Work Plan. The Grantee shall not perform any services after Agreement expiration or termination, except as
necessary to complete the transition or continued portion of the Agreement, if any.
14. Notice of Default.
If Grantee defaults in the performance of any covenant or obligation contained in the Agreement, including, any of
the events of default, Department shall provide notice to Grantee and an opportunity to cure that is reasonable under
the circumstances. This notice shall state the nature of the failure to perform and provide a time certain for correcting
the failure. The notice will also provide that, should the Grantee fail to perform within the time provided, Grantee will
be found in default, and Department may terminate the Agreement effective as of the date of receipt of the default
notice.
15. Events of Default.
Provided such failure is not the fault of Department or outside the reasonable control of Grantee, the following non-
exclusive list of events, acts, or omissions, shall constitute events of default:

incomplete, or insufficient information;

Attachment 1

Rev. 8/8/2023
g. Employment of an unauthorized alien in the performance of the work, in violation of Section 274 (A) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act;
h. Failure to maintain the insurance required by this Agreement;
i. One or more of the following circumstances, uncorrected for more than thirty (30) days unless, within the
specified 30-day period, Grantee (including its receiver or trustee in bankruptcy) provides to Department adequate
assurances, reasonably acceptable to Department, of its continuing ability and willingness to fulfill its obligations
under the Agreement:
i. Entry of an order for relief under Title 11 of the United States Code;
ii. The making by Grantee of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;
iii. The appointment of a general receiver or trustee in bankruptcy of Grantee’s business or property;
and/or
iv. An action by Grantee under any state insolvency or similar law for the purpose of its bankruptcy,
reorganization, or liquidation.
16. Suspension of Work.
The Department may, in its sole discretion, suspend any or all activities under the Agreement, at any time, when it is
in the best interest of the State to do so. The Department shall provide Grantee written notice outlining the particulars
of suspension. Examples of reasons for suspension include, but are not limited to, budgetary constraints, declaration
of emergency, or other such circumstances. After receiving a suspension notice, Grantee shall comply with the notice.
Within 90 days, or any longer period agreed to by the parties, Department shall either: (1) issue a notice authorizing
resumption of work, at which time activity shall resume; or (2) terminate the Agreement. If the Agreement is
terminated after 30 days of suspension, the notice of suspension shall be deemed to satisfy the thirty (30) days’ notice
required for a notice of termination for convenience. Suspension of work shall not entitle Grantee to any additional
compensation.
17. Force Majeure.
The Grantee shall not be responsible for delay resulting from its failure to perform if neither the fault nor the negligence
of Grantee or its employees or agents contributed to the delay and the delay is due directly to acts of God, wars, acts
of public enemies, strikes, fires, floods, or other similar cause wholly beyond Grantee’s control, or for any of the
foregoing that affect subcontractors or suppliers if no alternate source of supply is available to Grantee. In case of
any delay Grantee believes is excusable, Grantee shall notify Department in writing of the delay or potential delay
and describe the cause of the delay either (1) within ten days after the cause that creates or will create the delay first
arose, if Grantee could reasonably foresee that a delay could occur as a result; or (2) if delay is not reasonably
foreseeable, within five days after the date Grantee first had reason to believe that a delay could result. THE
FOREGOING SHALL CONSTITUTE THE GRANTEE’S SOLE REMEDY OR EXCUSE WITH RESPECT
TO DELAY. Providing notice in strict accordance with this paragraph is a condition precedent to such remedy. No
claim for damages, other than for an extension of time, shall be asserted against Department. The Grantee shall not be
entitled to an increase in the Agreement price or payment of any kind from Department 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 Grantee shall perform at no increased cost, unless Department determines, in its sole
discretion, that the delay will significantly impair the value of the Agreement to Department, in which case Department
may: (1) accept allocated performance or deliveries from Grantee, provided that Grantee grants preferential treatment
to Department with respect to products subjected to allocation; (2) contract with other sources (without recourse to
and by Grantee 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 Agreement in whole or
in part.
18. Indemnification.
a. The Grantee shall be fully liable for the actions of its agents, employees, partners, or subcontractors and shall
fully indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Department and its officers, agents, and employees, from suits,
actions, damages, and costs of every name and description arising from or relating to:
i. personal injury and damage to real or personal tangible property alleged to be caused in whole or in
part by Grantee, its agents, employees, partners, or subcontractors; provided, however, that Grantee
shall not indemnify for that portion of any loss or damages proximately caused by the negligent act
or omission of Department;
ii. the Grantee’s breach of this Agreement or the negligent acts or omissions of Grantee.
Attachment 1
8 of 13
Rev. 8/8/2023
b. The Grantee’s obligations under the preceding paragraph with respect to any legal action are contingent upon
Department giving Grantee: (1) written notice of any action or threatened action; (2) the opportunity to take over
and settle or defend any such action at Grantee’s sole expense; and (3) assistance in defending the action at
Grantee’s sole expense. The Grantee shall not be liable for any cost, expense, or compromise incurred or made
by Department in any legal action without Grantee’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
c. Notwithstanding sections a. and b. above, the following is the sole indemnification provision that applies to
Grantees that are governmental entities: Each party hereto agrees that it shall be solely responsible for the
negligent or wrongful acts of its employees and agents. However, nothing contained herein shall constitute a
waiver by either party of its sovereign immunity or the provisions of section 768.28, F.S. Further, nothing herein
shall be construed as consent by a state agency or subdivision of the State to be sued by third parties in any matter
arising out of any contract or this Agreement.
d. No provision in this Agreement shall require Department to hold harmless or indemnify Grantee, insure or assume
liability for Grantee’s negligence, waive Department’s sovereign immunity under the laws of Florida, or
otherwise impose liability on Department for which it would not otherwise be responsible. Any provision,
implication or suggestion to the contrary is null and void.
19. Limitation of Liability.
The Department’s liability for any claim arising from this Agreement is limited to compensatory damages in an amount
no greater than the sum of the unpaid balance of compensation due for goods or services rendered pursuant to and in
compliance with the terms of the Agreement. Such liability is further limited to a cap of $100,000.
20. Remedies.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make Grantee liable for force majeure events. Nothing in this
Agreement, including financial consequences for nonperformance, shall limit Department’s right to pursue its
remedies for other types of damages under the Agreement, at law or in equity. The Department may, in addition to
other remedies available to it, at law or in equity and upon notice to Grantee, retain such monies from amounts due
Grantee as may be necessary to satisfy any claim for damages, penalties, costs and the like asserted by or against it.
21. Waiver.
The delay or failure by Department to exercise or enforce any of its rights under this Agreement shall not constitute
or be deemed a waiver of Department’s right thereafter to enforce those rights, nor shall any single or partial exercise
of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
22. Statutory Notices Relating to Unauthorized Employment and Subcontracts.
a. The Department shall consider the employment by any Grantee of unauthorized aliens a violation of Section
274A(e) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. If Grantee/subcontractor knowingly employs unauthorized
aliens, such violation shall be cause for unilateral cancellation of this Agreement. The Grantee shall be responsible
for including this provision in all subcontracts with private organizations issued as a result of this Agreement.
b. Pursuant to sections 287.133, 287.134, and 287.137 F.S., the following restrictions apply to persons placed on
the convicted vendor list, discriminatory vendor list, or the antitrust violator vendor list:

responsible for their own attorney fees incurred in connection with disputes arising under the terms of this
Agreement.
24. Build America, Buy America Act (BABA) - Infrastructure Projects with Federal Funding.
This provision does not apply to Agreements that are wholly funded by Coronavirus State and Local
Fiscal Recovery Funds under the American Rescue Plan Act. Also, this provision does not apply where
there is a valid waiver in place. However, the provision may apply to funds expended before the waiver
or after expiration of the waiver.
If applicable, Recipients or Subrecipients of an award of Federal financial assistance from a program for
infrastructure are required to comply with the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA), including the
following provisions:
a. All iron and steel used in the project are produced in the United States--this means all manufacturing processes,
from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings, occurred in the United States;
b. All manufactured products used in the project are produced in the United States-this means the manufactured
product was manufactured in the United States; and the cost of the components of the manufactured product
that are mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States is greater than 55 percent of the total cost of all
components of the manufactured product, unless another standard for determining the minimum amount of
domestic content of the manufactured product has been established under applicable law or regulation; and
c. All construction materials are manufactured in the United States-this means that all manufacturing processes for
the construction material occurred in the United States.
The Buy America preference only applies to articles, materials, and supplies that are consumed in, incorporated
into, or affixed to an infrastructure project. As such, it does not apply to tools, equipment, and supplies, such as
temporary scaffolding, brought to the construction site and removed at or before the completion of the
infrastructure project. Nor does a Buy America preference apply to equipment and furnishings, such as movable
chairs, desks, and portable computer equipment, that are used at or within the finished infrastructure project but
are not an integral part of the structure or permanently affixed to the infrastructure project.
25. Investing in America

recipients are encouraged to use recycled or recovered materials when procuring signs. Signage
costs are considered an allowable cost under this assistance agreement provided that the costs
associated with signage are reasonable. Additionally, to increase public awareness of projects
serving communities where English is not the predominant language, recipients are encouraged to
translate the language on signs (excluding the official Investing in America emblem or EPA logo
or seal) into the appropriate non-English language(s). The costs of such translation are allowable,
provided the costs are reasonable.
26. Scrutinized Companies.
a. Grantee certifies that it is not on the Scrutinized Companies that Boycott Israel List or engaged in a
boycott of Israel. Pursuant to section 287.135, F.S., the Department may immediately terminate this

Grantee is placed on the Scrutinized Companies that Boycott Israel List or is engaged in the boycott
of Israel during the term of the Agreement.

the term of this Agreement and for five (5) years following the completion date or termination of the Agreement. In
the event that any work is subcontracted, Grantee shall similarly require each subcontractor to maintain and allow
access to such records for audit purposes. Upon request of Department’s Inspector General, or other authorized
State official, Grantee shall provide any type of information the Inspector General deems relevant to Grantee’s
integrity or responsibility. Such information may include, but shall not be limited to, Grantee’s business or financial
records, documents, or files of any type or form that refer to or relate to Agreement. The Grantee shall retain such
records for the longer of: (1) three years after the expiration of the Agreement; or (2) the period required by the

Attachment 1
11 of 13
Rev. 8/8/2023
b. Physical Access and Inspection. Department personnel shall be given access to and may observe and inspect

updated copy of Exhibit 1, to Attachment 5. If Department fails to provide an updated copy of Exhibit 1 to include
in each amendment that authorizes a funding increase or decrease, Grantee shall request one from the
Department’s Grants Manager. The Grantee shall consider the type of financial assistance (federal and/or state)
identified in Attachment 5, Exhibit 1 and determine whether the terms of Federal and/or Florida Single Audit Act
Requirements may further apply to lower tier transactions that may be a result of this Agreement. For federal
financial assistance, Grantee shall utilize the guidance provided under 2 CFR §200.331 for determining whether
the relationship represents that of a subrecipient or vendor. For State financial assistance, Grantee shall utilize the
form entitled “Checklist for Nonstate Organizations Recipient/Subrecipient vs Vendor Determination” (form
number DFS-A2-NS) that can be found under the “Links/Forms” section appearing at the following website:
https:\\apps.fldfs.com\fsaa.
d. Proof of Transactions. In addition to documentation provided to support cost reimbursement as described herein,
Department may periodically request additional proof of a transaction to evaluate the appropriateness of costs to
the Agreement pursuant to State guidelines (including cost allocation guidelines) and federal, if applicable.
Allowable costs and uniform administrative requirements for federal programs can be found under 2 CFR
200. The Department may also request a cost allocation plan in support of its multipliers (overhead, indirect,
general administrative costs, and fringe benefits). The Grantee must provide the additional proof within thirty
(30) days of such request.
e. No Commingling of Funds. The accounting systems for all Grantees must ensure that these funds are not
commingled with funds from other agencies. Funds from each agency must be accounted for separately. Grantees
are prohibited from commingling funds on either a program-by-program or a project-by-project basis. Funds
specifically budgeted and/or received for one project may not be used to support another project. Where a
Grantee's, or subrecipient's, accounting system cannot comply with this requirement, Grantee, or subrecipient,
shall establish a system to provide adequate fund accountability for each project it has been awarded.
i. If Department finds that these funds have been commingled, Department shall have the right to
demand a refund, either in whole or in part, of the funds provided to Grantee under this Agreement
for non-compliance with the material terms of this Agreement. The Grantee, upon such written
notification from Department shall refund, and shall forthwith pay to Department, the amount of
money demanded by Department. Interest on any refund shall be calculated based on the prevailing
rate used by the State Board of Administration. Interest shall be calculated from the date(s) the
original payment(s) are received from Department by Grantee to the date repayment is made by
Grantee to Department.
ii. In the event that the Grantee recovers costs, incurred under this Agreement and reimbursed by
Department, from another source(s), Grantee shall reimburse Department for all recovered funds
originally provided under this Agreement and interest shall be charged for those recovered costs as
calculated on from the date(s) the payment(s) are recovered by Grantee to the date repayment is
made to Department.
iii. Notwithstanding the requirements of this section, the above restrictions on commingling funds do
not apply to agreements where payments are made purely on a cost reimbursement basis.
30. Conflict of Interest.
The Grantee covenants that it presently has no interest and shall not acquire any interest which would conflict in any
manner or degree with the performance of services required.
31. Independent Contractor.
The Grantee is an independent contractor and is not an employee or agent of Department.
32. Subcontracting.

any subcontract and Grantee shall be solely liable to the subcontractor for all expenses and liabilities incurred
under any subcontract.

Department’s facilities, unless the basis of Department’s denial is safety or security considerations.
f. The Department supports diversity in its procurement program and requests that all subcontracting opportunities
afforded by this Agreement embrace diversity enthusiastically. The award of subcontracts should reflect the full
diversity of the citizens of the State. A list of minority-owned firms that could be offered subcontracting
opportunities may be obtained by contacting the Office of Supplier Diversity at (850) 487-0915.
g. The Grantee shall not be liable for any excess costs for a failure to perform, if the failure to perform is caused by
the default of a subcontractor at any tier, and if the cause of the default is completely beyond the control of both
Grantee and the subcontractor(s), and without the fault or negligence of either, unless the subcontracted products
or services were obtainable from other sources in sufficient time for Grantee to meet the required delivery
schedule.
33. Guarantee of Parent Company.
If Grantee is a subsidiary of another corporation or other business entity, Grantee asserts that its parent company will
guarantee all of the obligations of Grantee for purposes of fulfilling the obligations of Agreement. In the event Grantee
is sold during the period the Agreement is in effect, Grantee agrees that it will be a requirement of sale that the new
parent company guarantee all of the obligations of Grantee.
34. Survival.
The respective obligations of the parties, which by their nature would continue beyond the termination or expiration
of this Agreement, including without limitation, the obligations regarding confidentiality, proprietary interests, and
public records, shall survive termination, cancellation, or expiration of this Agreement.
35. Third Parties.
The Department shall not be deemed to assume any liability for the acts, failures to act or negligence of Grantee, its
agents, servants, and employees, nor shall Grantee disclaim its own negligence to Department or any third party. This
Agreement does not and is not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties. If
Department consents to a subcontract, Grantee will specifically disclose that this Agreement does not create any third-
party rights. Further, no third parties shall rely upon any of the rights and obligations created under this Agreement.
36. Severability.
If a court of competent jurisdiction deems any term or condition herein void or unenforceable, the other provisions
are severable to that void provision, and shall remain in full force and effect.
37. Grantee’s Employees, Subcontractors and Agents.
All Grantee employees, subcontractors, or agents performing work under the Agreement shall be properly trained
technicians who meet or exceed any specified training qualifications. Upon request, Grantee shall furnish a copy of
technical certification or other proof of qualification. All employees, subcontractors, or agents performing work under
Agreement must comply with all security and administrative requirements of Department and shall comply with all
controlling laws and regulations relevant to the services they are providing under the Agreement.
38. Assignment.
The Grantee shall not sell, assign, or transfer any of its rights, duties, or obligations under the Agreement, or under
any purchase order issued pursuant to the Agreement, without the prior written consent of Department. In the event
of any assignment, Grantee remains secondarily liable for performance of the Agreement, unless Department expressly
waives such secondary liability. The Department may assign the Agreement with prior written notice to Grantee of its
intent to do so.
39. Compensation Report.
If this Agreement is a sole-source, public-private agreement or if the Grantee, through this agreement with the State,

Federal allocations to the Grantee.

This Agreement, any amendments, and/or change orders related to the Agreement, may be executed in counterparts,
each of which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute the same instrument. In accordance with the
