I! <br /> i� <br /> f <br /> Attachment B <br /> Scope of Work <br /> The Emergency Management Performance Grant(EMPG)funding agreement is provided to perform <br /> eligible activities as identified in the Program Funding Opportunity Announcement(FOA). Eligible <br /> activities are outlined below in the Categories and Eligible Activities. The intent of the EMPG Base Grant <br /> Agreement is to provide each county with the means to successfully manage and operate an Emergency <br /> Management Program by enhancing county emergency management plans and programs that are <br /> consistent with the State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and Program (reference Rule <br /> Chapter 27P-6, Florida Administrative Code and Chapter 252, Florida Statutes). <br /> Counties must be able to prepare for respond to recover from and mitigate against natural and <br /> man-made disasters/emergencies. Each Emergency Management staff person must work the <br /> number of hours and assume the responsibilities for the duties in their official position <br /> description as well as provide the coordination and support for all incidents within their <br /> jurisdiction. <br /> The minimum acceptable standard for payment is to maintain a 24-7 operation. This includes any <br /> service related to the"Categories and Eligible Activities" listed below, as well as completing the <br /> Program Goals (Attachment C). Items listed in Attachment C are to be reviewed during the mid- <br /> year and end-of year progress report prepared in conjunction with the Division's Regional <br /> Coordinator to ensure county compliance. <br /> By signing this Agreement the Recipient certifies that it will use these funds to enhance the county's <br /> Emergency Management Program <br /> Monitoring: Monitoring will be accomplished through desk-based review, on-site monitoring visits, or <br /> both. Monitoring will involve the review and analysis of the financial, programmatic, performance, <br /> compliance and administrative processes, policies, activities, and other attributes of each county and will <br /> identify areas where technical assistance, corrective actions and other support may be needed. <br /> Desk monitoring is the review of projects, financial activity and technical assistance between the Division <br /> and the applicant via e-mail and telephone. On-Site Monitoring are actual visits to the recipient agencies <br /> by a Division representative who examines records, procedures and equipment. <br /> The Division may request additional monitoring/information if the activity, or lack thereof, generates <br /> questions from the region,the sponsoring agency or Division leadership. The method of gathering this <br /> information will be determined on a case-by-case basis. <br /> Piggy-backing: The practice of procurement by one agency using the agreement of another agency is <br /> called piggybacking. The existing contract must contain language or other legal authority authorizing third <br /> parties to make purchases from the contract with the vendor's consent. The terms and conditions of the <br /> new contract, including the scope of work, must be substantially the same as those of the existing <br /> contract. The piggyback contract may not exceed the existing contract in the scope of volume of goods <br /> or services. An agency may not use the preexisting contract merely as a"basis to begin negotiations"for <br /> a broader or materially different contract. <br /> 14 <br /> 1301' <br /> Ji <br /> i <br />
