The Grantee understands its duty, pursuant to Section 20.055(5), F.S., to cooperate with the 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 Agreement, if any, impose this requirement, in writing, on its sub -grantees. b. Physical Access and Inspection. Department personnel shall be given access to and may observe and inspect work being performed under this Agreement, with reasonable notice and during normal business hours, including by any of the following methods: L Grantee shall provide access to any location or facility on which Grantee is performing work, or storing or staging equipment, materials or documents; ii.

Special Audit Requirements. The Grantee shall comply with the applicable provisions contained in Attachment 5, Special Audit Requirements. Each amendment that authorizes a funding increase or decrease shall include an updated copy of Exhibit 1, to Attachment 5. If the Department fails to provide an updated copy of Exhibit 1 to include in each amendment that authorizes a funding increase or decrease, the Grantee shall request one from the Department's Grants Manager. The Grantee shall consider the type of financial assistance (federal and/or state) identified in Attachment 5, Exhibit 1 and determine whether the terms of Federal and/or Florida Single Audit Act Requirements may further apply to lower tier transactions that may be a result of this Agreement. For federal financial assistance, the Grantee shall utilize the guidance provided under 2 CFR §200.330 for determining whether the relationship represents that of a subrecipient or vendor. For State financial assistance, the Grantee shall utilize the form entitled "Checklist for Nonstate Organizations Recipient/Subrecipient vs Vendor Determination" (form number DFS -A2 -NS) that can be found under the "Links/Forms" section appearing at the following website: https:\\apps.fldfs.com\fsaa. d. Proof of Transactions. In addition to documentation provided to support cost reimbursement as described herein, the Department may periodically request additional proof of a transaction to evaluate the appropriateness of costs to the Agreement pursuant to State and Federal guidelines (including cost allocation guidelines). The Department may also request a cost allocation plan in support of its multipliers (overhead, indirect, general administrative costs, and fringe benefits). The Grantee must provide the additional proof within thirty (30) calendar days of such request. e. No Commingling of Funds. The accounting systems for all Grantees must ensure that these funds are not commingled with funds from other agencies. Funds from each agency must be accounted for separately. Grantees are prohibited from commingling funds on either a program -by -program or a project -by -project basis. Funds specifically budgeted and/or received for one project may not be used to support another project. Where a Grantee's, or subrecipient's, accounting system cannot comply with this requirement, the Grantee, or subrecipient, shall establish a system to provide adequate fund accountability for each project it has been awarded. L If the Department finds that these funds have been commingled, the Department shall have the right to demand a refund, either in whole or in part, of the funds provided to the Grantee under this Agreement for non-compliance with the material terms of this Agreement. The Grantee, upon such written notification from the Department shall refund, and shall forthwith pay to the Department, the amount of money demanded by the Department. Interest on any refund shall be calculated based on the prevailing rate used by the State Board of Administration. Interest shall be calculated from the date(s) the original payment(s) are received from the Department by the Grantee to the date repayment is made by the Grantee to the Department. ii. In the event that the Grantee recovers costs, incurred under this Agreement and reimbursed by the Department, from another source(s), the Grantee shall reimburse the Department for all recovered funds originally provided under this Agreement and interest shall be charged for those recovered costs as calculated on from the date(s) the payment(s) are recovered by the Grantee to the date repayment is made to the Department. 28. Conflict of Interest. The Grantee covenants that it presently has no interest and shall not acquire any interest which would conflict in any manner or degree with the performance of services required.
