ATTACHMENT B ALLOWABLE COSTS AND ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES 2 CFR Part 200: Rule 27P-19.010(11), Florida Administrative Code, states: "Allowable costs shall be determined in accordance with applicable Federal Office of Management and Budget Circulars..." Therefore, 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart A (Definitions) and Subpart E (Cost Principles) shall apply to this Agreement. Expenses:, In order to qualify for reimbursement under the terms of this Agreement, an expense incurred by the Recipient must be reasonable and necessary for the successful completion of a task required by this Agreement. If an expense fails to qualify as either reasonable or necessary to successfully compete a task, then the Division shall not provide any reimbursement for that expense. NOTE: This Scope of Work recognizes that each Recipient: o Might be at a different level of preparedness than another Recipient; o Operates within a unique geography; o Faces unique threats and hazards; and, o Serves a unique population. Therefore, what might qualify as reasonable and necessary for one Recipient to successfully complete a task under this Agreement might not qualify as reasonable and necessary for another Recipient to successfully complete a task. Conversely, what might not qualify for one may qualify for another. In order to avoid a "one size fits all" approach, this Agreement provides some level of flexibility. If a unique cost (e.g. equipment not listed on the EMPG AEL) qualifies as reasonable and necessary for the successful completion of a task under this Agreement, and if the Recipient receives permission from the Division prior to incurring that unique cost, then the Division shall reimburse the Recipient for that cost. Performance: In order to qualify for reimbursement under the terms of this Agreement, the Recipient's performance must satisfy the minimum level of service required for the successful completion of a task required by this Agreement. If the performance fails to satisfy the minimum level of service, then the Division shall not provide any reimbursement for that performance. Equipment: Provided the cost of the item qualifies as reasonable and necessary for the successful completion of a task required by this Agreement, an item on the FEMA AEL that is specifically coded for the Emergency Management Performance Grant ("EMPG") Program satisfies the minimum level of service for an equipment purchase under this Agreement. If an item qualifies as reasonable and necessary, and if the item is EMPG-coded on the FEMA AEL, then the Recipient does not need to obtain permission from the Division prior to purchasing the item in order to seek reimbursement. If the Recipient seeks reimbursement for the purchase of an item that is not EMPG-coded on the FEMA AEL, then the Recipient must receive permission from the Division prior to purchasing the item. If the Recipient purchases such an item without receiving permission from the Division beforehand, then the Division shall not provide any reimbursement for that purchase. Of note, AEL 21GN-00-OCEQ (Equipment and Supplies, Information/Emergency Operations/Fusion Centers) provides authorization for the purchase of equipment and supplies that are necessary to establish and maintain an Emergency Operations Center. 25 P132
