<br />F.S., and Chapter 69I-72, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.) and/or Chapter 69I-73, F.A.C., as applicable. The
<br />Grantee shall be responsible for maintaining appropriate property records for any subcontracts that include the
<br />purchase of equipment as part of the delivery of services. The Grantee shall comply with this requirement and
<br />ensure its subcontracts issued under this Agreement, if any, impose this requirement, in writing, on its
<br />subcontractors.
<br />i. For fixed-price (vendor) subcontracts, the following provisions shall apply: The Grantee may
<br />award, on a competitive basis, fixed-price subcontracts to consultants/contractors in performing the
<br />work described in Attachment 3, Grant Work Plan. Invoices submitted to the Department for fixed-
<br />price subcontracted activities shall be supported with a copy of the subcontractor's invoice and a
<br />copy of the tabulation form for the competitive procurement process (e.g., Invitation to Bid, Request
<br />for Proposals, or other similar competitive procurement document) resulting in the fixed-price
<br />subcontract. The Grantee may request approval from the Department to award a fixed-price
<br />subcontract resulting from procurement methods other than those identified above. In this instance,
<br />the Grantee shall request the advance written approval from the Department's Grant Manager of the
<br />fixed price negotiated by the Grantee. The letter of request shall be supported by a detailed budget
<br />and Scope of Services to be performed by the subcontractor. Upon receipt of the Department Grant
<br />Manager's approval of the fixed-price amount, the Grantee may proceed in finalizing the fixed-price
<br />subcontract.
<br />ii. If the procurement is subject to the Consultant's Competitive Negotiation Act under section
<br />287.055, F.S. or the Brooks Act, the Grantee must provide documentation clearly evidencing it has
<br />complied with the statutory or federal requirements.
<br />d. Travel. All requests for match or reimbursement of travel expenses shall be in accordance with Section 112.061,

<br />e. Direct Purchase Equipment. For the purposes of this Agreement, Equipment is defined as capital outlay costing
<br />$1,000 or more. Match or reimbursement for the Grantee's direct purchase of equipment is subject to specific
<br />approval of the Department, and does not include any equipment purchased under the delivery of services to be
<br />completed by a subcontractor. Include copies of invoices or receipts to document purchases, and a properly
<br />completed Property Reporting Form.
<br />f. Rental/Lease of Equipment — Match or reimbursement requests for rental/lease of equipment must include copies
<br />of invoices or receipts to document charges.
<br />g. Miscellaneous/Other Expenses. If miscellaneous or other expenses, such as materials, supplies, non -excluded
<br />phone expenses, reproduction, or mailing, are reimbursable or available for match or reimbursement under the
<br />terms of this Agreement, the documentation supporting these expenses must be itemized and include copies of
<br />receipts or invoices. Additionally, independent of the Grantee's contract obligations to its subcontractor, the
<br />Department shall not reimburse any of the following types of charges: cell phone usage, attorney's fees or court
<br />costs, civil or administrative penalties, or handling fees, such as set percent overages associated with purchasing
<br />supplies or equipment.
<br />h. Land Acquisition. Reimbursement for the costs associated with acquiring interest and/or rights to real property
<br />(including access rights through ingress/egress easements, leases, license agreements, or other site access
<br />agreements; and/or obtaining record title ownership of real property through purchase) must be supported by the
<br />following, as applicable: Copies of Property Appraisals, Environmental Site Assessments, Surveys and Legal
<br />Descriptions, Boundary Maps, Acreage Certification, Title Search Reports, Title Insurance, Closing
<br />Statements/Documents, Deeds, Leases, Easements, License Agreements, or other legal instrument documenting
<br />acquired property interest and/or rights. If land acquisition costs are used to meet match requirements, the Grantee
<br />agrees that those funds shall not be used as match for any other Agreement supported by State or Federal funds.
<br />10. Status Reports.
<br />The Grantee shall submit status reports quarterly, unless otherwise specified in the Attachments, on Exhibit A,
<br />Progress Report Form, to the Department's Grant Manager describing the work performed during the reporting
<br />period, problems encountered, problem resolutions, scheduled updates, and proposed work for the next reporting
<br />period. Quarterly status reports are due no later than twenty (20) calendar days following the completion of the
<br />quarterly reporting period. For the purposes of this reporting requirement, the quarterly reporting periods end on
<br />March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. The Department will review the required reports submitted
<br />by the Grantee within thirty (30) days.
