Attachment B Scope of Work/ Deliverables Base Grant funding from the Emergency Management Preparedness and Assistance Trust Fund is provided to enhance county emergency management plans and programs that are consistent with the State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and Program (reference Rule Chapter 27P-6, Florida Administrative Code and Chapter 252, Florida Statutes). EMPA Base Grant costs are divided into the following categories: organizational, planning, training, exercise, equipment, and management and administration. Eligible activities are outlined in Allowable Costs and Eligible Activities. This Scope of Work recognizes that each recipient is at a varying level of preparedness, and it is understood that each county has a unique geography, faces unique threats and hazards, and serves a unique population. The intent of the EMPA Base Grant Agreement is to provide each county with the means to successfully manage and operate an Emergency Management Program. Counties must be able to prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate against natural and man-made disasters/ emergencies. Each Emergency Management staff person must work the number of hours and assume the responsibilities for the duties in their official position description as well as provide the coordination and support for all incidents within their jurisdiction. By signing this Agreement, the Recipient certifies that it will use the award to enhance its Emergency Management Program. Monitoring: Monitoring may be accomplished through either a desk-based review or on-site monitoring visits, or both. Monitoring will involve the review and analysis of the financial, programmatic, performance, compliance and administrative processes, policies, activities, and other attributes of each county and will identify areas where technical assistance, corrective actions and other support may be needed. Desk monitoring is the review of projects, financial activity and technical assistance between the Division and the applicant via e-mail and telephone. On-Site Monitoring are actual visits to the recipient agencies by a Division representative who examines records, procedures and equipment. The Division may request additional monitoring/information if the activity, or lack thereof, generates questions from the region, the sponsoring agency or Division leadership. The method of gathering this information will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Procurement: All Procurement transactions will be conducted in a manner providing full and open competition and shall comply with the standards articulated in Chapter 287, Florida Statues and any local procurement policy (whichever is most stringent). Piggy-backing: The practice of one agency using the procurement/agreement of another agency is called piggybacking. The existing contract must contain language or other legal authority authorizing third parties to make purchases from the contract with the vendor's consent. The terms and conditions of the new contract, including the scope of work, must be substantially the same as those of the existing contract. The piggyback contract may not exceed the existing contract in the scope of volume of goods 23
