Recipient's financial management system shall include the following: (1) Accurate, current and complete disclosure of the financial results of this project or program. (2) Records that identify the source and use of funds for all activities. These records shall contain information pertaining to grant awards, authorizations, obligations, unobligated balances, assets, outlays, income and interest. (3) Effective control over and accountability for all funds, property and other assets. The Recipient shall safeguard all assets and assure that they are used solely for authorized purposes. (4) Comparison of expenditures with budget amounts for each payment request. Whenever appropriate, financial information should be related to performance and unit cost data. Written procedures to determine whether costs are allowed and reasonable under the provisions of the 2 C.F.R. part 200 and the terms and conditions of this Agreement. (6) Cost accounting records that are supported by backup documentation. (5) Competition All procurement transactions must follow the provisions of 2 C.F.R. §§ 200.318-200.326 and be conducted in a manner providing full and open competition. The Recipient shall be alert to conflicts of interest as well as noncompetitive practices among contractors that may restrict or eliminate competition or otherwise restrain trade. In order to ensure objective contractor performance and eliminate unfair competitive advantage, contractors that develop or draft specifications, requirements, statements of work, or invitations for bids or requests for proposals shall be excluded from competing for such procurements. Awards must be made to the responsible and responsive bidder or offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the program, considering the price, quality and other factors. Solicitations shall clearly set forth all requirements that the bidder or offeror must fulfill in order for the bid or offer to be evaluated by the Recipient. All bids or offers may be rejected if there is a sound, documented reason. Codes of Conduct The Recipient shall maintain written standards of conduct governing the performance of its employees engaged in the award and administration of contracts. No employee, officer, or agent shall participate in the selection, award, or administration of a contract supported by a Federal award if he or she has a real or apparent conflict of interest. Such a conflict would arise when the employee, officer, or agent, any member of his or her immediate family, his or her partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of the parties indicated, has a financial or other interest in or a tangible personal benefit from a firm considered for a contract. The officers, employees, and agents of the Recipient shall neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value from contractors or parties to subcontracts. The standards of conduct must provide for disciplinary actions to be applied for violations of the standards by officers, employees, or agents of the Recipient. (See 2 C.F.R. § 200.318(c)(1).) Business Hours The Recipient shall have its offices open for business, with the entrance door open to the public, and at least one employee on site at all reasonable times for business. "Reasonable" shall be construed according to circumstances, but ordinarily shall mean normal business hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., local time, Monday through Friday. 56 118
