A TRUE COPY CERTIFICATION ON LAST PAGE J.R. SMITH, CLERK a requirement for matching funds, the State shall provide the entire match requirement for state agencies and one-half of the required match for grants to Local governments. The affected Local government shall be required to provide one-half of the required match prior to receipt of such financial assistance. d. The Executive Office of the Governor may approve a waiver, subject to the requirement for legislative notice and review under section 216.177, Florida Statutes, of all or a portion of the required match for public assistance projects for Local governments if the Executive Office of the Governor determines that such a match requirement cannot be provided, or that doing so would impose a documented hardship on the Local government, and if the Local government applies for the waiver within the first 18 months after the disaster is declared. e. The Division will reimburse the Sub -Recipient only for allowable costs incurred by the Sub -Recipient. The Recipient will provide funds on a cost reimbursement basis to the Sub -Recipient for eligible activities approved by the Recipient and the Federal Awarding Agency, as specified in Attachment A of this Agreement ("Budget and Scope of Work"), which also outlines the maximum reimbursement amount for each deliverable. As required by 2 C.F.R. §200.415(a), any request for payment under this Agreement must include a certification, signed by an official who is authorized to legally bind the Sub -Recipient, which reads as follows: "By signing this report, I certify to the best of my knowledge and belief that the report is true, complete, and accurate, and the expenditures, disbursements and cash receipts are for the purposes and objectives set forth in the terms and conditions of the Federal award. I am aware that any false, fictitious, or fraudulent information, or the omission of any material fact, may subject me to criminal, civil or administrative penalties for fraud, false statements, false claims or otherwise. (U.S. Code Title 18, Section 1001 and Title 31, Sections 3729-3730 and 3801-3812)." The Sub -Recipient must complete Attachment "D" by designating at least three agents to execute any Requests for Reimbursement, certifications, or other necessary documentation on behalf of the Sub -Recipient. Attachment D must be completed electronically and submitted via email to rpa.help em.myflorida.com. After execution of this Agreement, the authorized, primary, and secondary Agent may request changes to contacts via email to the State assigned team. g. In the event the Sub -Recipient contacts have not been updated regularly and all three (3) Agents have separated from the Sub -Recipient's agency, a designation of authority form will be needed to change contacts. NOTE: This is very important because if contacts are not updated, notifications made from the grants management system may not be received and could result in failure to meet time periods to appeal a Federal determination. h. The Division will review all requests for reimbursement by comparing the documentation provided by the Sub -Recipient in the grants management system against a performance measure, outlined in Attachment A of this Agreement ("Budget and Scope of Work"), that clearly delineates: i. The required minimum acceptable level of service to be performed; and, ii. The criteria for evaluating the successful completion of each deliverable. i. The performance measure required by section 215.971(1)(b), Florida Statutes, remains consistent with the requirement for a "performance goal", which is defined in 2 C.F.R. §200.76 as, 6
