Item: Belfair Sewer System-Regional Sewer Planning with City of Bremerton
Background/Executive Summary: Staff briefed Commissioners on 10/14/2024 regarding the City of Bremerton's
request to accommodate a not to exceed,20-year forecast amount of 160,000 GPD. Commissioners asked for three
items:
1. Tribal responses to the City's request for consultation(provided).
2. Updated table showing facility capacity and projected capacity needed for UGA 20-year and build-out.
3. Draft ILA to begin discussing key considerations.
A flow diagram is attached to describe sewer system capacity. A Draft ILA prepared by the city is also attached to
begin dialogue around what considerations to include and key issues to address.
Budget Impact•
Future capacity upgrades are necessary to support UGA growth and the county will need to seek grant funding to
design,permit and construct these upgrades. The most immediate trigger is spray field capacity which could occur
with a 200-lot subdivision approval. Approximately$1.3— 1.4 million grant funding is available for the county to
design system capacity upgrades if an ILA is executed.
The request to serve 160,000 GPD is equivalent to 800 ERUs. The current connection fee for 800 ERUs equals
$10,490,000 (800 x$13,113).

ARTICLE II. ADMINISTRATIVE AND/OR FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS
The Subrecipient shall comply with all applicable state and federal laws, rules, regulations, requirements and
program guidance identified or referenced in this Agreement and the informational documents published by
DHS/FEMA applicable to the 24EMPG Program, including, but not limited to, all criteria, restrictions, and
requirements of "The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO)
Fiscal Year 2024 Emergency Management Performance Grant Program" (hereafter "the NOFO"), the
Preparedness Grants Manual, FM-207-23-0001 April 2024 (hereafter "the Manual"), the DHS Award Letter for
the Grant, and the federal regulations commonly applicable to DHS/FEMA grants, all of which are incorporated
herein by reference. The DHS Award Letter is incorporated in this Agreement as Attachment C.
The Subrecipient acknowledges that since this Agreement involves federal award funding, the performance
period may begin prior to the availability of appropriated federal funds. The Subrecipient agrees that it will not
hold the Department, the State of Washington, or the United States liable for any damages, claim for
reimbursement, or any type of payment whatsoever for services performed under this Agreement prior to
distribution of appropriated federal funds, or if federal funds are not appropriated or in a particular amount.
A. STATE AND FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR DHS/FEMA PREPAREDNESS GRANTS:
The following requirements apply to all DHS/FEMA Preparedness Grants administered by the
Department.
1. SUBAWARDS & CONTRACTS BY SUBRECIPIENT
a. The Subrecipient must make a case-by-case determination whether each agreement it
makes for the disbursement of 24EMPG funds received under this Agreement casts the
party receiving the funds in the role of a subrecipient or contractor in accordance with 2
CFR 200.331.
b. If the Subrecipient becomes a pass-through entity by making a subaward to a non-federal
entity as its subrecipient:
i. The Subrecipient must comply with all federal laws and regulations applicable to
pass-through entities of 24EMPG funds, including, but not limited to, those
contained in 2 CFR 200.
ii. The Subrecipient shall require its subrecipient(s) to comply with all applicable
state and federal laws, rules, regulations, requirements, and program guidance
identified or referenced in this Agreement and the informational documents
published by DHS/FEMA applicable to the 24EMPG Program, including, but not
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 2 of 46 Mason County, E25-112
limited to, all criteria, restrictions, and requirements of the NOFO, the Manual,
the DHS Award Letter for the Grant in Attachment C, and the federal regulations
commonly applicable to DHS/FEMA grants.
iii. The Subrecipient shall be responsible to the Department for ensuring that all
24EMPG federal award funds provided to its subrecipients, and associated
matching funds, are used in accordance with applicable federal and state
statutes and regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award set
forth in Attachment C of this Agreement.
iv. The Subrecipient must follow their own policies and procedures to eliminate or
reduce the impact of conflicts of interest when making subawards, adhering to
any applicable federal or state statutes or regulations. Any real or potential
conflicts of interest must be reported to the Department in writing upon discovery.
2. BUDGET, REIMBURSEMENT, AND TIMELINE
a. Within the total Grant Agreement Amount, travel, subcontracts, salaries, benefits, printing,
equipment, and other goods and services or other budget categories will be reimbursed
on an actual cost basis upon completion unless otherwise provided in this Agreement.
b. The maximum amount of all reimbursement requests permitted to be submitted under this
Agreement, including the final reimbursement request, is limited to and shall not exceed
the total Grant Agreement Amount.
C. If the Subrecipient chooses to include indirect costs within the Budget (Attachment F),
additional documentation is required based on the applicable situation. As described in 2
CFR 200.414 and Appendix VII to 2 CFR 200:
i. If the Subrecipient receives direct funding from any Federal agency(ies),
documentation of the rate must be submitted to the Department Key Personnel
per the following:
A. More than $35 million, the approved indirect cost rate agreement
negotiated with its federal cognizant agency.
B. Less than $35 million, the indirect cost proposal developed in accordance
with Appendix VI of 2 CFR 200 requirements.
ii. If the Subrecipient does not receive direct federal funds (i.e., only receives funds
as a subrecipient), the Subrecipient must either elect to charge a de minimis rate
of ten percent (10%) or 10% of modified total direct costs or choose to negotiate
a higher rate with the Department. If the latter is preferred, the Subrecipient must
contact Department Key Personnel to request approval from FEMA per 2CFR
200.102(b)..
d. For travel costs, the Subrecipient shall comply with 2 CFR 200.475 and should consult
their internal policies, state rates set pursuant to RCW 43.03.050 and RCW 43.03.060 as
now existing or amended, and federal maximum rates set forth at .https://www.gsa.gov,
and follow the most restrictive. If travel costs exceed set state or federal limits, travel costs
shall not be reimbursed without written approval by Department Key Personnel. All
international travel requires prior FEMA approval.
e. Reimbursement requests will include a properly completed State A-19 Invoice Form and
Reimbursement Spreadsheet (in the format provided by the Department) detailing the
expenditures for which reimbursement is sought. Reimbursement requests must be
submitted to Reimbursements(a)-mil.wa.gov no later than the due dates listed within the
Timeline (Attachment E).
Reimbursement request totals should be commensurate to the time spent processing by
the Subrecipient and the Department.
f. Receipts and/or backup documentation for any approved items that are authorized under
this Agreement must be maintained by the Subrecipient consistent with record retention
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 3 of 46 Mason County, E25-112
requirements of this Agreement and be made available upon request by the Department
and auditors.
g. The Subrecipient must request prior written approval from Department Key Personnel to
waive or extend a due date in the Timeline (Attachment E). Waiving or missing deadlines
serves as an indicator for assessing an agency's level of risk of noncompliance with the
regulations, requirements, and the terms and conditions of the Agreement and may
increase required monitoring activities. For waived or extended reimbursement due dates,
all allowable costs should be submitted on the next scheduled reimbursement due date
contained in the Timeline. Any request for a waiver or extension of a due date in the
Timeline will be treated as a request for Amendment of the Agreement. This request must
be submitted to the Department Key Personnel sufficiently in advance of the due date
to provide adequate time for Department review and consideration and may be granted or
denied within the Department's sole discretion.
h. All work under this Agreement must end on or before the Grant Agreement End Date, and
the final reimbursement request must be submitted to the Department within the time
period notated in the Timeline (Attachment E) except as otherwise authorized by either(1)
written amendment of this Agreement or(2)written notification from the Department to the
Subrecipient to provide additional time for completion of the Subrecipient's project(s). If
funds are not required, the Subrecipient shall notify the Department Key Personnel.
i. All costs for equipment and supplies must be incurred, and items received, before the
Grant Agreement End Date.
j. Failure to submit timely, accurate, and complete reports and reimbursement requests as
required by this Agreement (including, but not limited to, those reports in the Timeline
(Attachment E)will prohibit the Subrecipient from being reimbursed until such reports and
reimbursement requests are submitted and the Department has had reasonable time to
conduct its review.
k. Final reimbursement requests will not be approved for payment until the Subrecipient is
current with all reporting requirements contained in this Agreement.
I. A written amendment will be required if the Subrecipient expects cumulative transfers to
approved, direct budget categories, as identified in the Budget (Attachment F), to exceed
ten percent(10%)of the Grant Agreement Amount. Any changes to budget category totals
not in compliance with this paragraph will not be reimbursed without approval from the
Department.
M. Subrecipients shall only use federal award funds under this Agreement to supplement
existing funds and will not use them to replace (supplant) non-federal funds that have been
budgeted for the same purpose. The Subrecipient may be required to demonstrate and
document that a reduction in non-federal resources occurred for reasons other than the
receipt or expected receipt of federal funds.
3. REPORTING
a. With each reimbursement request, the Subrecipient shall report how the expenditures, for
which reimbursement is sought, relate to the Work Plan (Attachment D) activities in the
format provided by the Department.
b. With the final reimbursement request, the Subrecipient shall submit to the Department Key
Personnel a final report (in the format provided by the Department) describing all
completed activities under this Agreement, status of training course completion by
individual personnel, how the match was met and documented, and progress made with
NQS implementation.
C. The Subrecipient shall comply with the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency
Act(FFATA) and related OMB Guidance consistent with Public Law 109-282 as amended
by section 6202(a) of Public Law 110-252 (see 31 U.S.C. 6101 note) and complete and
return to the Department an Audit Certification/FFATA Form. This form is required to be
completed once per calendar year, per Subrecipient, and not per agreement. The
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 4 of 46 Mason County, E25-112
Department's Contracts Office will request the Subrecipient submit an updated form at the
beginning of each calendar year in which the Subrecipient has an active agreement.
d. To document compliance with the National Incident Management System (NIMS), the
Subrecipient shall complete the annual NIMS survey conducted by Washington
Emergency Management Division (EMD).
4. NIMS COMPLIANCE
a. The National Incident Management System (NIMS) identifies concepts and principles that
answer how to manage emergencies from preparedness to recovery regardless of their
cause, size, location, or complexity. NIMS provides a consistent, nationwide approach and
vocabulary for multiple agencies or jurisdictions to work together to build, sustain, and
deliver the core capabilities needed to achieve a secure and resilient nation.
b. Consistent implementation of NIMS provides a solid foundation across jurisdictions and
disciplines to ensure effective and integrated preparedness, planning, and response.
NIMS empowers the components of the National Preparedness System, a requirement of
Presidential Policy Directive 8, to guide activities within the public and private sector and
describes the planning, organizational activities, equipping, training, and exercising
needed to build and sustain the core capabilities in support of the National Preparedness
Goal.
C. In order to receive federal preparedness funding from the Department, the Subrecipient
must ensure and maintain adoption and implementation of NIMS. See Agreement
Attachment A, Article II section 3.c. for associated reporting requirements. The list of
objectives used for progress and achievement reporting can be found at
https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/nims/implementation-training.
d. FEMA requires phased implementation of the National Qualification System (NQS) for
EMPG subrecipients. The NQS Implementation Objectives reflect the concepts and
principles contained in NQS doctrine and aim to promote consistency in NQS
implementation nationwide. Subrecipients will be considered in compliance with NQS
requirements as long as they are working towards implementing the NQS Implementation
Objectives can be found at
https://www.fema.gov/sites/default/files/documents/fema nims-ngs-implementation-
objectives fact-sheet.pdf. Only EMPG-funded deployable personnel (determined by the
Subrecipient) will be required to meet NQS certification requirements.
For 24EMPG NQS Phase 2 of implementation, Subrecipients must:
i. Design procedures for an organizational qualification system and subsequently
document approval.
ii. Ensure designated EMPG-funded deployable personnel meet the minimum
training requirements for their job title/position qualification.
iii. Track qualification, certification and credentialling for EMPG-funded deployable
personnel.
iv. Describe the status of implementation as a part of the annual NIMS survey
conducted by EMD staff at the end of the calendar year.
V. Note within the EMPG final report which EMPG funded personnel are categorized
as deployable and status of implementation, as applicable.
5. EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLY MANAGEMENT
a. The Subrecipient and any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward
shall comply with 2 CFR 200.317 through 200.327, and all Washington State procurement
statutes, when procuring any equipment or supplies under this Agreement, 2 CFR 200.313
for management of equipment, and 2 CFR 200.314 for management of supplies, to
include, but not limited to:
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 5 of 46 Mason County, E25-112
i. Upon successful completion of the terms of this Agreement, all equipment and
supplies purchased through this Agreement will be owned by the Subrecipient,
or a recognized non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient has made a
subaward, for which a contract, Subrecipient grant agreement, or other means
of legal transfer of ownership is in place.
ii. All equipment, and supplies as applicable, purchased under this Agreement will
be recorded and maintained in the Subrecipient's inventory system.
iii. Inventory system records shall include:
A. Description of the property
B. Manufacturer's serial number, or other identification number
C. Funding source for the property, including the Federal Award Identification
Number (FAIN) (Face Sheet, Box 11)
D. Assistance Listings Number (Face Sheet, Box 13)
E. Who holds the title
F. Acquisition date
G. Cost of the property and the percentage of federal participation in the cost
H. Location, use, and condition of the property at the date the information was
reported
I. Disposition data including the date of disposal and sale price of the
property.
iv. The Subrecipient shall take a physical inventory of the equipment, and supplies
as applicable, and reconcile the results with the property records at least once
every two years. Any differences between quantities determined by the physical
inspection and those shown in the records shall be investigated by the
Subrecipient to determine the cause of the difference. The Subrecipient shall, in
connection with the inventory, verify the existence, current utilization, and
continued need for the equipment.
V. The Subrecipient shall be responsible for any and all operational and
maintenance expenses and for the safe operation of the equipment and supplies
including all questions of liability. The Subrecipient shall develop appropriate
maintenance schedules and procedures to ensure the equipment, and supplies
as applicable, are well maintained and kept in good operating condition.
vi. The Subrecipient shall develop a control system to ensure adequate safeguards
to prevent loss, damage, and theft of the property.Any loss, damage, or theft shall
be investigated, and a report generated and sent to the Department's Key
Personnel.
vii. The Subrecipient must obtain and maintain all necessary certifications and
licenses for the equipment.
viii. If the Subrecipient is authorized or required to sell the property, proper sales
procedures must be established and followed to ensure the highest possible
return. For disposition, if upon termination or at the Grant Agreement End Date,
when original or replacement supplies or equipment acquired under a federal
award are no longer needed for the original project or program or for other
activities currently or previously supported by a federal awarding agency, the
Subrecipient must comply with the following procedures:
A. For Supplies: If there is a residual inventory of unused supplies exceeding
$5,000 in total aggregate value upon termination or completion of the
project or program and the supplies are not needed for any other federal
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 6 of 46 Mason County, E25-112
award, the Subrecipient must retain the supplies for use on other activities
or sell them, but must, in either case, compensate the federal government
for its share. The amount of compensation must be computed in the same
manner as for equipment.
B. For Equipment:
1) Items with a current per-unit fair-market value of$5,000 or less may
be retained, sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of with no further
obligation to the federal awarding agency.
2) Items with a current per-unit fair-market value in excess of $5,000
may be retained or sold. The Subrecipient shall compensate the
federal awarding agency in accordance with the requirements of 2
CFR 200.313 (e) (2).
C. Notify Department Key Personnel to initiate the disposition process by the
federal awarding agency.
ix. Records for equipment shall be retained by the Subrecipient for a period of six
years from the date of the disposition, replacement, or transfer. If any litigation,
claim, or audit is started before the expiration of the six-year period, the records
shall be retained by the Subrecipient until all litigation, claims, or audit findings
involving the records have been resolved.
b. The Subrecipient shall comply with the Department's Purchase Review Process, which is
incorporated by reference and made part of this Agreement. No reimbursement will be
provided unless the appropriate approval has been received.
C. Allowable equipment categories for the grant program are listed on the Authorized
Equipment List (AEL) located on the FEMA website at
https://www.fema.gov/qrants/guidance-tools/authorized-equipment-list. It is important that
the Subrecipient and any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward
regard the AEL as an authorized purchasing list identifying items allowed under the
specific grant program; the AEL includes items that may not be categorized as equipment
according to the federal, state, local, and tribal definitions of equipment. The Subrecipient
is solely responsible for ensuring and documenting purchased items under this Agreement
are authorized as allowed items by the AEL at time of purchase.
If the item is not identified on the AEL as allowable under the grant program, the
Subrecipient must contact the Department Key Personnel for assistance in seeking FEMA
approval prior to acquisition.
d. Equipment might require more than one waiver. The Subrecipient must contact the
Department Key Personnel for assistance in identifying what waivers are needed and in
seeking FEMA approval prior to acquisition.
e. Equipment purchases (those with a current per-unit fair market value in excess of
$5,000) must be identified and explained to the Department. Use, management, and
disposition of such equipment is subject to requirements outlined in 2 CFR 200.313.
Before making such purchases, the Subrecipient should analyze the cost benefits of
purchasing versus leasing equipment, especially those subject to rapid technical
advances.
f. Unless expressly provided otherwise, all equipment must meet all mandatory regulatory
state and DHS/FEMA adopted standards to be eligible for purchase using federal award
funds.
g. If funding is allocated to support emergency communications activities, the Subrecipient
must ensure that all projects comply with SAFECOM Guidance on Emergency
Communications Grants, located at https://www.cisa.gov/safecom/funding, including
provisions on technical standards that ensure and enhance interoperable
communications.
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 7 of 46 Mason County, E25-112
h. Effective August 13, 2020, FEMA recipients and subrecipients, as well as their contractors
and subcontractors, may not obligate or expend any FEMA award funds to:
i. Procure or obtain any equipment, system, or service that uses covered
telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential
component of any system, or as critical technology of any system;
ii. Enter into, extend, or renew a contract to procure or obtain any equipment, system,
or service that uses covered telecommunications equipment or services as a
substantial or essential component of any system, or as critical technology of any
system; or
iii. Enter into, extend, or renew contracts with entities that use covered
telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential
component of any system, or as critical technology as part of any system.
This prohibition regarding certain telecommunications and video surveillance services or
equipment is mandated by section 889 of the John S. McCain National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (FY 2019 NDAA), Pub. L. No. 115-232 (2018) and
2 CFR 200.216, 200.327, 200.471, and Appendix 11 to 2CFR200. Recipients and
subrecipients may use DHS/FEMA grant funding to procure replacement equipment and
services impacted by this prohibition, provided the costs are otherwise consistent with the
requirements of the Manual and the NOFO.
Per subsections 889(f)(2)-(3) of the FY 2019 NDAA, and 2 CFR 200.216, covered
telecommunications equipment or services means:
iv. Telecommunications equipment produced by Huawei Technologies Company or
ZTE Corporation (or any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities);
V. For the purpose of public safety, security of government facilities, physical security
surveillance of critical infrastructure, and other national security purposes, video
surveillance and telecommunications equipment produced by Hytera
Communications Corporation, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Company,
or Dahua Technology Company (or any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities);
vi. Telecommunications or video surveillance services provided by such entities or
using such equipment; or
vii. Telecommunications or video surveillance equipment or services produced or
provided by an entity that the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the
Director of National Intelligence or the Director of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, reasonably believes to be an entity owned or controlled by, or
otherwise connected to, the government of a covered foreign country.
i. The Subrecipient must pass through equipment and supply management requirements
that meet or exceed the requirements outlined above to any non-federal entity to which
the Subrecipient makes a subaward under this Agreement.
6. ENVIRONMENTAL AND HISTORICAL PRESERVATION
a. The Subrecipient shall ensure full compliance with the DHS/FEMA Environmental
Planning and Historic Preservation (EHP) program. EHP program information can be
found at https://www.fema.gov/grants/guidance-tools/environmental-historic all of which
are incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement.
b. Projects that have historical impacts or the potential to impact the environment, including,
but not limited to, construction of communication towers; modification or renovation of
existing buildings, structures and facilities; installation of sonar system; or new
construction including replacement of facilities, must participate in the DHS/FEMA EHP
review process prior to initiation. Modification of existing buildings, including minimally
invasive improvements such as attaching monitors to interior walls, and training or
exercises occurring outside in areas not considered previously disturbed, also require a
DHS/FEMA EHP review before project initiation.
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 8 of 46 Mason County, E25-112
C. The EHP review process involves the submission of a detailed project description that
includes the entire scope of work, including any alternatives that may be under
consideration, along with supporting documentation so FEMA may determine whether the
proposed project has the potential to impact environmental resources and/or historic
properties.
d. The Subrecipient agrees that to receive any federal preparedness funding, all EHP
compliance requirements outlined in applicable guidance must be met. The EHP review
process must be completed and FEMA approval received by the Subrecipient before
any work is started for which reimbursement will be later requested. Expenditures for
projects started before completion of the EHP review process and receipt of approval by
the Subrecipient will not be reimbursed.
7. PROCUREMENT
The Subrecipient shall comply with all procurement requirements of 2 CFR Part 200.317 through
200.327 and as specified in the General Terms and Conditions (Attachment B, A.10).
a. For all contracts expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, per 2 CFR 200.1,
the Subrecipient must notify the Department. The Department may request pre-
procurement documents, such as request for proposals, invitations for bids and
independent cost estimates. This requirement must be passed on to any non-federal entity
to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward, at which point the Subrecipient will be
responsible for requesting and reviewing pre-procurement documents.
b. For all sole source contracts expected to exceed the micro-purchase threshold per 2 CFR
200.1, the Subrecipient must submit justification to the Department for review and
approval. This requirement must be passed on to any non-federal entity to which the
Subrecipient makes a subaward, at which point the Subrecipient will be responsible for
reviewing and approving sole source justifications to any non-federal entity to which
Subrecipient makes any award.
C. The Subrecipient as well as its contractors and subcontractors must comply with the Build
America, Buy America Act (BABAA), which was enacted as a part of the Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act §§ 70901-70297, Pub. L. No. 117-58 (2021); and Executive
Order 14005, Ensuring the Future is Made in All of America by All of America's Workers.
BABAA requires any infrastructure project receiving federal funding must ensure:
i. All iron and steel used in the project are produced in the United States. This means
all manufacturing processes, from initial melting stage through the application of
coatings, occurred in the United States.
ii. All manufactured products must be produced in the United States. For a
manufactured product to be considered produced in the United States, the cost of
the components of the manufactured product that are mined, produced, or
manufactured in the United States must be greater than 55% of the total cost of all
minimum amount of domestic content of manufactured product, unless subject to
another standard.
iii. All construction materials are manufactured in the United States. This means that
all manufacturing processes for construction material occurred in the United States.
Additionally, applicable infrastructure projects are subject to domestic preference
requirements. A domestic preference does not apply to non-infrastructure spending under
an award that also includes a covered project. A domestic preference applies to an entire
infrastructure project, even if it is funded by both federal and non-federal funds under one
or more awards.
i. Domestic preferences under BABAA only apply 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 domestic preference apply to
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 9 of 46 Mason County, E25-112
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 or permanently affixed to the structure.
ii. Infrastructure, for the purposes of BABAA, includes, at a minimum, the structures,
facilities, and equipment for, in the United States, roads, highways and bridges;
public transportation; dams, ports, harbors and other maritime facilities; intercity
passenger and freight railroads; freight and intermodal facilities; airports; water
systems, including drinking water and wastewater systems; electrical transmission
facilities and systems; utilities; broadband infrastructure; and buildings and real
property. Infrastructure includes facilities that generate, transport, and distribute
energy.
iii. The Subrecipient's contractors and their subcontractors who apply or bid for an
award for an infrastructure project subject to the domestic preference requirement
in the BABAA shall file a required certification to the Subrecipient with each bid or
offer for an infrastructure project, unless a domestic preference requirement is
waived by FEMA. Contractors and subcontractors must certify that no federal
financial assistance funding for infrastructure projects will be provided unless all the
iron, steel, manufactured projects, and construction materials used in the project
are produced in the United States. BABAA, Pub. L. No. 117-58, §§ 70901-52.
Contractors and subcontractors shall also disclose any use of federal financial
assistance for infrastructure projects that does not ensure compliance with BABAA
domestic preference requirement. Such disclosures shall be forwarded to the
Subrecipient who will forward them to the Department who, in turn, will forward the
disclosures to FEMA. The Build America, Buy America Act Self-Certification form
is included herein as Attachment G.
If the Subrecipient is interested in applying for a waiver, the Subrecipient should contact
the Department Key Personnel to determine the requirements. All waiver requests must
include a detailed justification for the use of goods, products, or materials mined,
produced, or manufactured outside the United States and a certification that there was a
good faith effort to solicit bids for domestic products supported by terms included in
requests for proposals, contracts, and nonproprietary communications with potential
suppliers.
8. SUBRECIPIENT MONITORING
a. The Department will monitor the activities of the Subrecipient from award to closeout. The
goal of the Department's monitoring activities is to ensure that subrecipients receiving
federal pass-through funds are in compliance with this Agreement, federal and state audit
requirements, federal grant guidance, and applicable federal and state financial
regulations, as well as 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F.
b. To document compliance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F requirements, the Subrecipient
shall complete and return to the Department an Audit Certification/FFATA form. Reporting
requirements are referenced in section 3.c.
C. Monitoring activities may include, but are not limited to:
i. Review of financial and performance reports
ii. Monitoring and documenting the completion of Agreement deliverables
iii. Documentation of phone calls, meetings (e.g. agendas, sign-in sheets, meeting
minutes), a-mails and correspondence
iv. Review of reimbursement requests and supporting documentation to ensure
allowability and consistency with Agreement work plan, budget, and federal
requirements
V. Observation and documentation of Agreement related activities, such as
exercises, training, events, and equipment demonstrations
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 10 of 46 Mason County, E25-112
vi. On-site visits to review equipment records and inventories, to verify source
documentation for reimbursement requests and performance reports, and to verify
completion of deliverables.
d. The Subrecipient is required to meet or exceed the monitoring activities, as outlined
above, for any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward as a pass-
through entity under this Agreement.
e. Compliance will be monitored throughout the performance period to assess risk. Concerns
will be addressed through a Corrective Action Plan.
9. LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY (CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 TITLE VI)
a. The Subrecipient must comply with the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI)
prohibition against discrimination on the basis of national origin, which requires that
subrecipients of federal financial assistance take reasonable steps to provide meaningful
access to persons with limited English proficiency (LEP) to their programs and services.
FEMA Policy FP-256-23-001 (www.fema.gov/sites/default/files/documents/fema )policy-
language-access.pdf)further stresses this requirement applies to anyone awarded FEMA
funding. Providing meaningful access for persons with LEP may entail providing language
assistance services, including oral interpretation and written translation. Executive Order
13166, Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency(August
11, 2000), requires federal agencies to issue guidance to recipients, assisting such
organizations and entities in understanding their language access obligations. DHS
published the required recipient guidance in April 2011, DHS Guidance to Federal
Financial Assistance Recipients Regarding Title VI Prohibition Against National Origin
Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient Persons, 76 Fed. Reg. 21755-21768,
(April 18, 2011). The Guidance provides helpful information such as how a recipient can
determine the extent of its obligation to provide language services, selecting language
services, and elements of an effective plan on language assistance for LEP persons. For
additional assistance and information regarding language access obligations, please refer
to the DHS Recipient Guidance at https://www.dhs.gov/guidance-published-help-
department-supported-organizations-provide-meaningful-access-people-limited and
additional resources on https://www.lep.gov.
b. Subrecipients are encouraged to perform and document their analysis of the most
appropriate language assistance services necessary to ensure a LEP individual has
meaningful access to the Subrecipient's programs and activities. The analysis should
consider
i. The number or proportion of LEP individuals eligible to be served or likely
encountered by the program
ii. The frequency with which LEP individuals come in contact with the program
iii. The nature and importance of the program, activity, or service provided by the
program to people's lives
iv. The resources available to the program and costs
B. EMPG PROGRAM SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
The Department receives EMPG funding from DHS/FEMA, to assist state, local, and tribal governments

Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. §§ 5121 et seq.) and
Section 662 of the Post Katrina Emergency Management Act (6 U.S.C. § 762).
A portion of the grant program is passed through to local jurisdictions and tribes with emergency
management programs to supplement their local/tribal operating budgets to help sustain and enhance
emergency management capabilities pursuant to Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 118-09.
a. The Subrecipient shall use the EMPG funds authorized under this Agreement only to perform
tasks as described in the Work Plan (Attachment D) and the Subrecipient's approved application
for funding, incorporated into this Agreement.

meet matching requirements, the Subrecipient's cash matching contributions must be verifiable,
reasonable, allowable, allocable, and necessary under the grant program and must comply with
all state and Federal requirements and regulations, including, but not limited to, 2 CFR Part 200.
An appropriate mechanism must be in place to capture, track, and document matching funds.
d. To gather data for the required FEMA deliverables(i.e., Stakeholder Preparedness Review[SPR],
Threat Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment [THIRA]), EMD is piloting a three-year County
Emergency Preparedness Assessment (CEPA) process with workshops, occurring in a third of
the 39 counties each calendar year 2024-2026. The Subrecipient must participate in a CEPA
workshop located in their county and in any follow-on data calls to receive EMPG funding.
e. Subrecipients shall participate in the State's Integrated Preparedness Planning Workshop
(IPPW). Non-participation may result in withholding of funding under future grant years.
f. If funding is allocated to non-FEMA training, the Subrecipient must request prior written approval

under this Agreement.
C. "Monitoring Activities" means all administrative, financial, or other review activities that are
conducted to ensure compliance with all state and federal laws, rules, regulations, authorities,
and policies.

state and local government services, and telecommunication. If the ADA does not apply to the
Subrecipient because the Subrecipient is a federal recognized Indian Tribe, then the acceptance by the
Tribe of, or acquiescence to, these General Terms and Conditions does not change or alter its
inapplicability to the Indian Tribe. The execution of grant documents is not intended to change, alter,
amend, or impose additional liability or responsibility upon the Tribe where it does not already exist.
A.5 ASSURANCES
The Department and Subrecipient agree that all activity pursuant to this Agreement will be in accordance

officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection with this
Agreement, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement, the Subrecipient will complete and submit Standard
Form-LLL, "Disclosure Form to Report Lobbying," in accordance with its instructions; (3) and that, as
applicable, the Subrecipient will require that the language of this certification be included in the award
documents for all subawards at all tiers (including subcontracts, subgrants, and contracts under grants,
loans, and cooperative agreements) and that all Subrecipients shall certify and disclose accordingly. This

including, but not limited to, costs of suits and attorneys' fees assessed against the Department, as a
result of the failure of the Subrecipient to so comply.

and hold the Department, the state of Washington, and the United States government harmless from any
and all causes of action arising from the ownership and operation of the project.

The Subrecipient agrees to submit to the Department prior to issuance all advertising and publicity
matters relating to this Agreement wherein the Department's name is mentioned, or language used from
which the connection of the Department's name may, in the Department's judgment, be inferred or
implied. The Subrecipient agrees not to publish or use such advertising and publicity matters without the
prior written consent of the Department. The Subrecipient may copyright original work it develops in the
course of or under this Agreement; however, pursuant to 2 CFR Part 200.315, FEMA reserves a royalty-
free, nonexclusive, and irrevocable license to reproduce, publish or otherwise use, and to authorize
others to use the work for government purposes.

FEMA's financial support, by the Assistance Listings Number (formerly CFDA Number), and a statement
that the publication does not constitute an endorsement by FEMA or reflect FEMA's views.
A.24 RECAPTURE PROVISION
In the event the Subrecipient fails to expend funds under this Agreement in accordance with applicable
federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and/or the provisions of the Agreement, the Department
reserves the right to recapture funds in an amount equivalent to the extent of noncompliance. Such right
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 19 of 46 Mason County, E25-112
of recapture shall exist for the life of the project following Agreement termination. Repayment by the
Subrecipient of funds under this recapture provision shall occur within 30 days of demand. In the event
the Department is required to institute legal proceedings to enforce the recapture provision, the
Department shall be entitled to its costs and expenses thereof, including attorney fees from the
Subrecipient.
A.25 RECORDS
a. The Subrecipient agrees to maintain all books, records, documents, receipts, invoices and all
other electronic or written records necessary to sufficiently and properly reflect the Subrecipient's
contracts, subawards, grant administration, and payments, including all direct and indirect
charges, and expenditures in the performance of this Agreement (the "records").
b. The Subrecipient's records related to this Agreement and the projects funded may be inspected
and audited by the Department or its designee, by the Office of the State Auditor, DHS, FEMA or
their designees, by the Comptroller General of the United States or its designees, or by other
state or federal officials authorized by law, for the purposes of determining compliance by the
Subrecipient with the terms of this Agreement and to determine the appropriate level of funding
to be paid under the Agreement.
C. The records shall be made available by the Subrecipient for such inspection and audit, together
with suitable space for such purpose, at any and all times during the Subrecipient's normal
working day.
d. The Subrecipient shall retain and allow access to all records related to this Agreement and the
funded project(s) for a period of at least six (6) years following final payment and closure of the
grant under this Agreement. Despite the minimum federal retention requirement of three (3)years,
the more stringent State requirement of six (6) years must be followed.
A.26 RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROJECT/STATEMENT OF WORK/WORK PLAN
While the Department undertakes to assist the Subrecipient with the project/statement of work/work plan
(project) by providing federal award funds pursuant to this Agreement, the project itself remains the sole
responsibility of the Subrecipient. The Department undertakes no responsibility to the Subrecipient, or to
any third party, other than as is expressly set out in this Agreement.
The responsibility for the design, development, construction, implementation, operation and maintenance
of the project, as these phrases are applicable to this project, is solely that of the Subrecipient, as is
responsibility for any claim or suit of any nature by any third party related in any way to the project.
Prior to the start of any construction activity, the Subrecipient shall ensure that all applicable federal,
state, and local permits and clearances are obtained, including, but not limited to, FEMA compliance with
the National Environmental Policy Act, the National Historic Preservation Act, the Endangered Species
Act, and all other environmental laws, regulations, and executive orders.
The Subrecipient shall defend, at its own cost, any and all claims or suits at law or in equity, which may
be brought against the Subrecipient in connection with the project. The Subrecipient shall not look to the
Department, or to any state or federal agency, or to any of their employees or agents, for any
performance, assistance, or any payment or indemnity, including, but not limited to, cost of defense
and/or attorneys' fees, in connection with any claim or lawsuit brought by any third party related to any
design, development, construction, implementation, operation and/or maintenance of a project.
A.27 SEVERABILITY
If any court of rightful jurisdiction holds any provision or condition under this Agreement or its application
to any person or circumstances invalid, this invalidity does not affect other provisions, terms or conditions
of the Agreement, which can be given effect without the invalid provision. To this end, the terms and
conditions of this Agreement are declared severable.
A.28 SINGLE AUDIT ACT REQUIREMENTS (including all AMENDMENTS)
The Subrecipient shall comply with and include the following audit requirements in any subawards.
Non-federal entities, as Subrecipients of a federal award, that expend $750,000 or more in one fiscal
year of federal funds from all sources, direct and indirect, are required to have a single or a program-
specific audit conducted in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F. Non-federal entities that spend
less than $750,000 a year in federal awards are exempt from federal audit requirements for that year,
except as noted in 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F. As defined in 2 CFR Part 200, the term "non-federal entity"
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 20 of 46 Mason County, E25-112
means a state, local government, Indian tribe, institution of higher education, or nonprofit organization
that carries out a federal award as a recipient or subrecipient.
Subrecipients that are required to have an audit must ensure the audit is performed in accordance with
Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GALAS) as found in the Government Auditing
Standards (the Revised Yellow Book) developed by the United States Comptroller General and the OMB
Compliance Supplement. The Subrecipient has the responsibility of notifying its auditor and requesting
an audit in compliance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F, to include the Washington State Auditor's Office,
a federal auditor, or a public accountant performing work using GAGAS, as appropriate. Costs of the
audit may be an allowable grant expenditure as authorized by 2 CFR Part 200.425.
The Subrecipient shall maintain auditable records and accounts so as to facilitate the audit requirement
and shall ensure that any subcontractors also maintain auditable records. The Subrecipient is responsible
for any audit exceptions incurred by its own organization or that of its subcontractors. Responses to any
unresolved management findings and disallowed or questioned costs shall be included with the audit
report. The Subrecipient must respond to Department requests for information or corrective action
concerning audit issues or findings within 30 days of the date of request. The Department reserves the
right to recover from the Subrecipient all disallowed costs resulting from the audit.
After the single audit has been completed, and if it includes any audit findings, the Subrecipient must
send a full copy of the audit and its Corrective Action Plan to the Department at the following address no
later than nine (9) months after the end of the Subrecipient's fiscal year(s):
Contracts Office
Washington Military Department
Finance Division, Building #1 TA-20
Camp Murray, WA 98430-5032
OR
Contracts.Office(aD-m i I.wa.gov
The Department retains the sole discretion to determine whether a valid claim for an exemption from the
audit requirements of this provision has been established.
Conducting a single or program-specific audit in compliance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F is a material
requirement of this Agreement. In the absence of a valid claim of exemption from the audit requirements
of 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F, the Subrecipient's failure to comply with said audit requirements may result
in one or more of the following actions in the Department's sole discretion: a percentage of federal awards
being withheld until the audit is completed in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F; the withholding
or disallowing of overhead costs; the suspension of federal awards until the audit is conducted and
submitted; or termination of the federal award.
A.29 SUBRECIPIENT NOT EMPLOYEE
The Subrecipient, and/or employees or agents performing under this Agreement, are not employees or
agents of the Department in any manner whatsoever. The Subrecipient will not be presented as nor
claim to be an officer or employee of the Department or of the state of Washington by reason hereof, nor
will the Subrecipient make any claim, demand, or application to or for any right, privilege or benefit
applicable to an officer or employee of the Department or of the state of Washington, including, but not
limited to, Workers' Compensation coverage, unemployment insurance benefits, social security benefits,
retirement membership or credit, or privilege or benefit which would accrue to a civil service employee
under Chapter 41.06 RCW; OFM Reg. 4.3.1.1.8.
It is understood that if the Subrecipient is another state department, state agency, state university, state
college, state community college, state board, or state commission, that the officers and employees are
employed by the state of Washington in their own right.
If the Subrecipient is an individual currently employed by a Washington State agency, the Department
shall obtain proper approval from the employing agency or institution before entering into this contract.
A statement of"no conflict of interest" shall be submitted to the Department.
A.30 TAXES, FEES AND LICENSES
Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Subrecipient shall be responsible for, pay and maintain
in current status all taxes, unemployment contributions, fees, licenses, assessments, permit charges and
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 21 of 46 Mason County, E25-112
expenses of any other kind for the Subrecipient or its staff required by statute or regulation that are
applicable to Agreement performance.
A.31 TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE
Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement, the Subrecipient may terminate this Agreement by
providing written notice of such termination to the Department Key Personnel identified in the Agreement,
specifying the effective date thereof, at least thirty (30) days prior to such date.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Department, in its sole discretion and in the best
interests of the state of Washington, may terminate this Agreement in whole or in part ten (10) business
days after emailing notice. Upon notice of termination for convenience, the Department reserves the right
to suspend all or part of the Agreement, withhold further payments, or prohibit the Subrecipient from
incurring additional obligations of funds. In the event of termination, the Subrecipient shall be liable for all
damages as authorized by law. The rights and remedies of the Department provided for in this section
shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law.
A.32 TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION FOR LOSS OF FUNDING
The Department may unilaterally terminate or suspend all or part of this Grant Agreement, or may reduce
its scope of work and budget, if there is a reduction in funds by the source of those funds, and if such
funds are the basis for this Grant Agreement. The Department will email the Subrecipient ten (10)
business days prior to termination.
A.33 TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION FOR CAUSE
In the event the Department, in its sole discretion, determines the Subrecipient has failed to fulfill in a
timely and proper manner its obligations under this Agreement, is in an unsound financial condition so
as to endanger performance hereunder, is in violation of any laws or regulations that render the
Subrecipient unable to perform any aspect of the Agreement, or has violated any of the covenants,
agreements or stipulations of this Agreement, the Department has the right to immediately suspend or
terminate this Agreement in whole or in part.
The Department may notify the Subrecipient in writing of the need to take corrective action and provide
a period of time in which to cure. The Department is not required to allow the Subrecipient an opportunity
to cure if it is not feasible as determined solely within the Department's discretion. Any time allowed for
cure shall not diminish or eliminate the Subrecipient's liability for damages or otherwise affect any other
remedies available to the Department. If the Department allows the Subrecipient an opportunity to cure,
the Department shall notify the Subrecipient in writing of the need to take corrective action. If the
corrective action is not taken within ten (10) calendar days or as otherwise specified by the Department,
or if such corrective action is deemed by the Department to be insufficient, the Agreement may be
terminated in whole or in part.
The Department reserves the right to suspend all or part of the Agreement, withhold further payments,
or prohibit the Subrecipient from incurring additional obligations of funds during investigation of the
alleged compliance breach, pending corrective action by the Subrecipient, if allowed, or pending a
decision by the Department to terminate the Agreement in whole or in part.
In the event of termination, the Subrecipient shall be liable for all damages as authorized by law, including,
but not limited to, any cost difference between the original Agreement and the replacement or cover
Agreement and all administrative costs directly related to the replacement Agreement, e.g., cost of
administering the competitive solicitation process, mailing, advertising and other associated staff time.
The rights and remedies of the Department provided for in this section shall not be exclusive and are in
addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law.
If it is determined that the Subrecipient: (1)was not in default or material breach, or(2) failure to perform
was outside of the Subrecipient's control, fault or negligence, the termination shall be deemed to be a
termination for convenience.
A.34 TERMINATION PROCEDURES
In addition to the procedures set forth below, if the Department terminates this Agreement, the
Subrecipient shall follow any procedures specified in the termination notice. Upon termination of this
Agreement and in addition to any other rights provided in this Agreement, the Department may require
the Subrecipient to deliver to the Department any property specifically produced or acquired for the
performance of such part of this Agreement as has been terminated.
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 22 of 46 Mason County, E25-112
If the termination is for convenience, the Department shall pay to the Subrecipient as an agreed upon
price, if separately stated, for properly authorized and completed work and services rendered or goods
delivered to and accepted by the Department prior to the effective date of Agreement termination, the
amount agreed upon by the Subrecipient and the Department for(i) completed work and services and/or
equipment or supplies provided for which no separate price is stated, (ii) partially completed work and
services and/or equipment or supplies provided which are accepted by the Department, (iii) other work,
services and/or equipment or supplies which are accepted by the Department, and (iv)the protection and
preservation of property.
Failure to agree with such amounts shall be a dispute within the meaning of the "Disputes" clause of this
Agreement. If the termination is for cause, the Department shall determine the extent of the liability of the
Department. The Department shall have no other obligation to the Subrecipient for termination. The
Department may withhold from any amounts due the Subrecipient such sum as the Department
determines to be necessary to protect the Department against potential loss or liability.
The rights and remedies of the Department provided in this Agreement shall not be exclusive and are in
addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law.
After receipt of a notice of termination, and except as otherwise directed by the Department in writing,
the Subrecipient shall:
a. Stop work under the Agreement on the date, and to the extent specified, in the notice;
b. Place no further orders or contracts for materials, services, supplies, equipment and/or facilities
in relation to this Agreement except as may be necessary for completion of such portion of the
work under the Agreement as is not terminated;
C. Assign to the Department, in the manner, at the times, and to the extent directed by the
Department, all of the rights, title, and interest of the Subrecipient under the orders and contracts
so terminated, in which case the Department has the right, at its discretion, to settle or pay any
or all claims arising out of the termination of such orders and contracts;
d. Settle all outstanding liabilities and all claims arising out of such termination of orders and
contracts, with the approval or ratification of the Department to the extent the Department may
require, which approval or ratification shall be final for all the purposes of this clause;

by the Department any property which, if the Agreement had been completed, would have been
required to be furnished to the Department;
f. Complete performance of such part of the work as shall not have been terminated by the
Department in compliance with all contractual requirements; and
g. Take such action as may be necessary, or as the Department may require, for the protection and

Subrecipient and in which the Department has or may acquire an interest.
A.35 MINORITY AND WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES
In accordance with the legislative findings and policies set forth in Chapter 39.19 RCW, the state of
Washington encourages participation in all its contracts by MWBE firms certified by the Office of Minority
and Women's Business Enterprises (OMWBE). To the extent possible, the Subrecipient will solicit and
encourage minority-owned and women-owned business enterprises who are certified by the OMWBE
under the state of Washington certification program to apply and compete for work under this contract.
Voluntary numerical MWBE participation goals have been established and are indicated herein: Minority
Business Enterprises: (MBEs): 10% and Woman's Business Enterprises (WBEs): 6%.

shall be governed by, the laws of the state of Washington. Except for as provided herein, venue of any
suit between the parties arising out of this Agreement shall be the Superior Court of Thurston County,
Washington, and the Subrecipient, by execution of this Agreement, acknowledges the jurisdiction of the
courts of the state of Washington. Provides, that if the Subrecipient is a federally recognized Indian Tribe,
the parties agree that, in the event either party to this Agreement commences any suit relating to or
arising from the Agreement, the United States District Court for the Western District of the State of
Washington shall have the sole and exclusive jurisdiction over such proceeding. If the court lacks federal
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 23 of 46 Mason County, E25-112
subject matter jurisdiction, then the Tribe agrees to waive its sovereign immunity from suit for the limited
purpose of permitting the State to enforce the terms of this Agreement in the Superior Court of
Washington under Washington law, and venue for such suit shall be the Superior Court of Thurston
County, Washington. This limited waiver of sovereign immunity is solely for the benefit of the State. This
limited waiver of sovereign immunity shall not be for, nor shall it be construed as for, the benefit of any
other person or entity, and the Tribe does not waive its immunity with respect to any action brought by,
or on behalf of, any other entity or person.
A.37 WAIVERS
No conditions or provisions of this Agreement can be waived unless approved in advance by the
Department in writing. The Department's failure to insist upon strict performance of any provision of the
Agreement or to exercise any right based upon a breach thereof, or the acceptance of any performance
during such breach, shall not constitute a waiver of any right under this Agreement.

The purpose of EMPG is to assist with the enhancement, sustainment and improvement of state, local, and tribal
emergency management programs. Activities conducted using EMPG funding should relate directly to the five mission
areas of the national preparedness goal of prevention, protection, response, recovery, and mitigation. Washington
State does not require a specific number of activities to receive EMPG funding. However, there are required
capabilities that must be sustained in order to remain eligible for EMPG funding, including but not limited to the
ability to communicate and warn, educate the public, plan, train, exercise, and be NIMS compliant. The Work Plan
delineates the Emergency Management Organization's emergency management program planning and priority focus
for this grant cycle (to include EMPG grant and local funds).
