partment of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide funds to units of local government

(CFDA 14.228), to fund the Project with Federal Award Identification Number B-20-DW-53-0001; and
As it benefits the Local Government to engage the Subrecipient to accomplish the Scope of Work
and the objectives of the local CDBG project;
The parties agree that:
1. SCOPE OF SERVICES
A. Local Government Responsibilities
The Local Government is responsible for administration of the CDBG contract, and ensuring
CDBG funds are used in accordance with all program requirements [(24 CFR 570.501(b)] and its

tance and guidance to the Subrecipient as may be required to accomplish the objectives and

ment to review the status of these tasks.

4. BUDGET
The total grant award is $119,163. The local government will retain $3,000 for grant ad-
ministration and the Local Government will pass through to the Subrecipient no more than
$116,163 in CDBG funds for eligible incurred costs and expenses for the Project. The Subrecip-
ient shall follow the budget approved by Commerce and the Local Government, attached to
this Agreement (Attachment A). The Local Government may require a more detailed budget
breakdown, and the Subrecipient will provide such supplementary budget information in a
timely fashion in the form and content prescribed by the Local Government Indirect Cost Rate
If the Subrecipient chooses to charge Indirect under this grant, the Subrecipient shall provide
their indirect cost rate that has been negotiated between their entity and the Federal Gov-
ernment. If no such rate exists, a de minimis indirect cost rate of 10% of Modified Total Direct
Costs (MTDC) will be used.
"Modified Total Direct Costs " shall mean all direct salaries and wages, applicable fringe ben-
efits, materials and supplies, services, travel, and up to the first $25,000 of each subaward
(regardless of the period of performance of the subawards under the award). MTDC excludes
equipment, capital expenditures, and rental costs.
Any amendments to this Agreement's Budget must first be determined by the Local Government
as consistent with its CDBG contract with Commerce and then approved in writing by the Local
Government and the Subrecipient.
5. PAYMENT
The Local Government shall reimburse the Subrecipient in accordance with the payment pro-
cedures outlined in the CDBG Management Handbook, Financial Management Section for all
allowable expenses agreed upon by the parties to complete the Scope of Service.
Reimbursement under this Agreement will be based on billings, supported by appropriate doc-
umentation of costs actually incurred. It is expressly understood that claims for reimbursement
will not be submitted in excess of actual, immediate cash requirements necessary to carry out
the purposes of the agreement. Funds available under this Agreement will be utilized to sup-
plement rather than supplant funds otherwise available.
It is understood that this Agreement is funded in whole or in part with CDBG funds through the
Washington State CDBG Program as administered by Commerce and is subject to those regula-
tions and restrictions normally associated with federally -funded programs and any other re-
quirements that the State may prescribe.
6. PERFORMANCE MONITORING
The Local Government will monitor the performance of the Subrecipient by tracking project
progress, reviewing payment requests for applicable costs, managing the timely pass -through
of CDBG funds, overseeing compliance with CDBG requirements, and ensuring recordkeeping
and audit requirements are met. Substandard performance as determined by the Local Gov-
ernment will constitute noncompliance with this Agreement.
If action to correct such substandard performance is not taken by the Subrecipient within a
reasonable period of time after being notified by the Local Government, contract suspension
or termination procedures will be initiated.
7. SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Prevent Duplication of Benefit
The CARES Act provides that there are adequate procedures in place to prevent any duplication
of benefit as required by section 312 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency As-
sistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5155), as amended by section 1210 of the Disaster Recovery Reform Act of
2018 (division D of Public Law 115-254; 132 Stat. 3442). HUD requires each Grantee (and subre-
cipient) have procedures to prevent the duplication of benefits when it provides financial assis-
tance with CDBG-CV funds. Federal disaster law prohibits the provision of federal assistance in
excess of need. Before paying a cost with federal disaster assistance, the Grantee (and subrecipi-
ent) must check to see that the assistance will not cause a duplication of benefits, meaning that
the cost has not or will not be paid by another source. Any person or entity (including subrecipi-
ents) receiving CDBG-CV assistance must agree to repay assistance that is determined to be du-
plicative; and to assess whether the use of CDBG-CV funds will duplicate financial assistance al-
ready received or is likely to be received by acting reasonably, Grantees (and subrecipients) must
have a method to evaluate need and the resources available to meet that need. CDBG-CV fund-
ed activities will prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus.
8. GENERAL CONDITIONS
A. General Compliance
The Subrecipient agrees to comply with:
• The requirements of Title 24 of the Code of Federal regulations, 570 (HUDregula-
tions concerning CDBG); and
• All other applicable Federal, State and Local laws, regulations, and policies, gov-
erning the funds provided under this Agreement.
B. CDBG National Obiective
The Subrecipient certifies the activities carried out under this Agreement meet a CDBG
Program National Objective defined in 24 CFR 570.208.

as creating or establishing the relationship of employer/employee between the parties.
The Subrecipient will at all times remain an "independent contractor" with respect to
the services to be performed under this Agreement. The Local Government will be ex-
empt from payment of all Unemployment Compensation, FICA, retirement, life and/or
medical insurance and Workers' Compensation Insurance, as the Subrecipient is an in-
dependent contractor.
D. Hold Harmless
The Subrecipient will hold harmless, defend and indemnify the Local Government from
any and all claims, actions, suits, charges and judgments whatsoever that arise out of the
Subrecipient's performance or nonperformance of the services or subject matter called

ployees involved in the performance of this Agreement.

ment within fifteen (15) days of execution of this agreement.
The Subrecipient shall include all subcontractors as insured under its insurance policies or
shall furnish separate certificates and endorsements for each subcontractor. All insurance
provisions for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein.
Failure of the Subrecipient to take out and/or maintain any required insurance shall not re-
lieve the Subrecipient from any liability under the Agreement, nor shall the insurance re-
quirements be construed to conflict with or otherwise limit the obligations concerning in-
demnification.
It is agreed by the parties that insurers shall have no right of recovery or subrogation
against the Local Government (including its employees and other agents and agencies), it
being the intention of the parties that the insurance policies so affected shall protect both
parties and be primary coverage for any and all losses covered by the above described in-
surance. It is further agreed by the parties that insurance companies issuing the policy or
policies shall have no recourse against the Local Government (including its employees and
other agents and agencies) for payment of any premiums or for assessments under any
form of policy. It is further agreed by the parties that any and all deductibles in the above
described insurance policies shall be assumed by and be at the sole risk of the Subrecipient.
It is agreed by the parties that judgements for which the Local Government may be liable,
in excess of insured amounts provided herein, or any portion thereof, may be withheld
from payment due, or to become due, to the Subrecipient until such time as the Subrecipi-
ent shall furnish additional security covering such judgement as may be determined by the
Local Government.
The Local Government reserves the right to request additional insurance on an individual
basis for extra hazardous contracts and specific service agreements.
Any coverage for third party liability claims provided to the Local Government by a "Risk
Pool" created pursuant to Ch. 48.62 RCW shall be non-contributory with respect to any pol-
icy of insurance the Subrecipient must provide to comply with this Agreement.
If the proof of insurance or certificate indicating the Local Government is an "additional in-
sured" to a policy obtained by the Subrecipient refers to an endorsement (by number or
name) but does not provide the full text of that endorsement, then it shall be the obliga-
tion of the Subrecipient to obtain the full text of that endorsement and forward that full
text to the Local Government.
The Local Government may, upon the Subrecipient's failure to comply with all provisions of
this contract relating to insurance, withhold payment or compensation that would other-
wise be due to the Subrecipient.
G. Funding Source Recognition
The Subrecipient will insure recognition of the roles of Commerce, the WA State CDBG
program, and the Local Government in providing services through this Agreement. All
activities, facilities and items utilized pursuant to this Agreement will be prominently la-
beled as to funding source. In addition, the Subrecipient will include a reference to the
support provided herein in all publications made possible with funds made available un-
der this Agreement.
H. Amendments
The Local Government or Subrecipient may amend this Agreement at any time provided
that such amendments make specific reference to this Agreement, and are executed in
writing, signed by a duly authorized representative of each organization, and approved by
the Local Government's governing body. Such amendments will not invalidate this
Agreement, nor relieve or release the Local Government or Subrecipient from its obliga-
tions under this Agreement.

ty.

Prior to grant contract execution, this letter allows you to begin incurring costs not to exceed ten
percent of your award as of March 27, 2020, for only the following activities:
• Administration including documented staffing, travel and training

Historic preservation Act of 1996
• Prelitninary engineering design work_and consultations needed for the environmental

A CDBG subreeipient agreement, for use if you pass these funds through to a service provider to
implement the grant, is available in Section 18 of the CDBG Management Handbook, which is
available electronically at www.conunerce.wa.gov/cdbg and here.
CDBG procurement requirements must be followed before hiring professional services or
