A TRUE COPY CERTIFICATION ON LAST PAG5 J.R. SMITH, CLERK This time extension does not apply to Permanent Work projects. For Permanent Work projects, the applicant will need to submit a time extension request via. the FDEM Grants Management System once the project is obligated by FEMA. If the Division grants the time extension request, the grant will be retroactive. It may extend Emergency Work projects by six (6) months and Permanent Work projects by thirty (30) months. FEMA has authority to extend individual project deadlines beyond these timeframes if extenuating circumstances justify additional time. This applies to all projects with the exception of those projects for temporary facilities. FEMA generally considers the following to be extenuating circumstances beyond the Applicant's control: • Permitting or EHP compliance related delays due to other agencies involved • Environmental limitations (such as short construction window) • Inclement weather (site access prohibited or adverse impact on construction) FEMA generally considers the following to be circumstances within the control of the Applicant and not justifiable for a time extension: • Permitting or environmental delays due to Applicant delays in requesting permits • Lack of funding • Change in administration or cost accounting system • Compilation of cost documentation Although FEMA only provides PA funding for work performed on or before the approved deadline, the Applicant must still complete the approved SOW for funding to be eligible. FEMA de -obligates funding for any project that the Applicant does not complete. If the Applicant completes a portion of the approved SOW and the completed work is distinct from the uncompleted work, FEMA only de -obligates funding for the uncompleted work. For example, if one project includes funds for three facilities and the Applicant restores only two of the three facilities, FEMA only de -obligates the amount related to the facility that the Applicant did not restore. Time Extension requests should be submitted prior to current approved deadline, be specific to one project, and include the following information with supporting documentation: • Dates and provisions of all previous time extensions • Construction timeline/project schedule in support of requested time • Basis for time extension request: o Delay in obtaining permits ■ Permitting agencies involved and application dates o Environmental delays or limitations (e.g., short construction window, nesting seasons) ■ Dates of correspondence with various agencies ■ Specific details • Inclement weather (prolonged severe weather conditions prohibited access to the area, or adversely impacted construction) o Specific details • Other reason for delay o Specific details Submission of a Time Extension request does not automatically grant an extension to the period of performance. Without an approved Time Extension from the State of FEMA (as applicable), any expenses incurred outside the P.O.P. are ineligible. 6.
