Costs determined to be outside of the approved scope of work and/or outside of the approved performance period cannot be reimbursed. For Hurricane Dorian DR#4468, projects that are under $131,100.00 are considered small projects. In coordination with FEMA, the Division will accept a self -certification of small projects in lieu of project documentation for permanent work projects (Categories C -G). The self -certification will require the applicant to certify that the damaged facility is eligible, the scope of work is eligible, and that the funds will be expended in accordance with State and Federal law. A copy of the self -certification is attached hereto. This self -certification will be completed during project development in Grants Portal prior to obligation. Once the project is obligated, the Division will reimburse the project without a request for reimbursement. However, in order to close out the project, the applicant must provide before and after photos of the project. 5.
