under this Agreement, request that a proposed Corrective Action Plan (CAP) be submitted by the Grantee to the Department. All CAPs must be able to be implemented and performed in no more than sixty (60) calendar days. A. A CAP shall be submitted within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the letter request from the Department. The CAP shall be sent to the Department Grant Manager for review and approval. Within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of a CAP, the Department shall notify the Grantee in writing whether the CAP proposed has been accepted. If the CAP is not accepted, the Grantee shall have ten (10) calendar days from receipt of the Department letter rejecting the proposal to submit a revised proposed CAP. Failure to obtain the Department approval of a CAP as specified above shall result in the Department's termination of this Agreement for cause as authorized in this Agreement. B. Upon the Department's notice of acceptance of a proposed CAP, the Grantee shall have ten (10) calendar days to commence implementation of the accepted plan. Acceptance of the proposed CAP by the Department does not relieve the Grantee of any of its obligations under the Agreement. In the event the CAP fails to correct or eliminate performance deficiencies by Grantee, the Department shall retain the right to require additional or further remedial steps, or to terminate this Agreement for failure to perform. No actions approved by the Department or steps taken by the Grantee shall preclude the 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 the Department as requested by the Department Grant Manager. C. 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 the Department may result in termination of the Agreement. The remedies set forth above are not exclusive and the Department reserves the right to exercise other remedies in addition to or in lieu of those set forth above, as permitted by the Agreement. 10. RECORD KEEPING/AUDIT: A. The Grantee shall maintain books, records and documents directly pertinent to performance under this Agreement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. The Department, the State, or their authorized representatives shall have access to such records for audit purposes during the term of this Agreement and for five (5) years following the completion date of the Agreement. In the event any work is subcontracted, the Grantee shall similarly require each subcontractor to maintain and allow access to such records for audit purposes. B. The Grantee understands its duty, pursuant to Section 20.055(5), F.S., to cooperate with the Department's Inspector General in any investigation, audit, inspection, review, or hearing. The Grantee will comply with this duty and ensure that its subcontracts issued under this Grant, if any, impose this requirement, in writing, on its subcontractors. 11. SPECIAL AUDIT REOUIREMENTS: A. In addition to the requirements of the preceding paragraph, the Grantee shall comply with the applicable provisions contained in Attachment E, Special Audit Requirements, attached hereto and made a part hereof. Exhibit 1 to Attachment E summarizes the funding sources supporting the Agreement for purposes of assisting the Grantee in complying with the requirements of Attachment E. A revised copy of Exhibit 1 must be provided to the Grantee for each amendment which authorizes a funding increase or decrease. If the Grantee fails to receive a revised copy of Exhibit 1, the Grantee shall notify the Department's Grants Manager at (850) 245-2975 to request a copy of the updated information.
