A TRUE COPY <br />CERTIFICATION ON LAST PAGE <br />J,R. SMITH, CLERK <br />7. The Recipient may advance funds to the Subrecipient, not exceeding the Federal share, only if the <br />Subrecipient meets the following conditions: <br />a) The Subrecipient must certify to the Recipient that Subrecipient has procedures in place to <br />ensure that funds are disbursed to project vendors, contractors, and subcontractors without <br />unnecessary delay; and <br />b) The Subrecipient must submit to the Recipient the budget supporting the request. <br />8. The Subrecipient must submit a statement justifying the advance and the proposed use of the <br />funds, which also specifies the amount of funds requested and certifies that the advanced funds will be <br />expended no more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the Advance, as defined in 2 C.F.R. §200.305 <br />and as applicable section 216.181(16), Florida Statutes; <br />9. The Recipient may, in its sole discretion, withhold a portion of the Federal and/or nonfederal share <br />of funding under this Agreement from the Subrecipient if the Recipient reasonably expects that the <br />Subrecipient cannot meet the projected budgeted timeline or that there may be a subsequent <br />determination by FEMA that a previous disbursement of funds under this or any other Agreement with the <br />Subrecipient was improper. <br />Payments under the Public Assistance Alternative Procedures Program (PAAP) are paid as an Advance <br />Payment only if permissible in accordance with 2 C.F.R. § 200.305(b). Advance payments are only <br />permissible if in compliance with 2 C.F.R. § 200.305(b), and PAAP projects are no exception. <br />10. DESIGNATION OF AGENT <br />The Subrecipient must complete Attachment D by designating at least three (3) agents to execute any <br />Requests for Advance or Reimbursement, certifications, or other necessary documentation on behalf of the <br />Subrecipient. <br />After execution of this Agreement, the authorized, primary, and secondary Agent may request changes to <br />contacts via email to the State assigned team. <br />In the event the Subrecipient's contacts have not been updated regularly and all three (3) Agents have <br />separated from the Subrecipient's agency, a designation of authority form will be needed to change <br />contacts. <br />NOTE. This is very important because if contacts are not updated, notifications made from FDEM <br />Grants Management System may not be received and could result in failure to meet time periods to <br />appeal a Federal determination. <br />11. DUNS Q&A <br />What is a DUNS number? <br />The Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number is a unique nine -digit identification number <br />provided by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B). The DUNS number is site specific. Therefore, each distinct physical <br />location of an entity such as branches, divisions and headquarters, may be assigned a DUNS number. <br />Who needs a DUNS number? <br />Any institution that wants to submit a grant application to the Federal government. Individual researchers <br />do not need a DUNS number if they are submitting their application through a research organization. <br />How do I get a DUNS number? <br />Dun & Bradstreet have designated a special phone number for Federal grant and cooperative agreement <br />Subrecipients/prospective Subrecipients. Call the number below between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., local time in <br />the 48 contiguous states and speak to a D&B representative. This process will take approximately 5 —10 <br />minutes and you will receive your DUNS number at the conclusion of the call. <br />1-866-705-5711 <br />What do I need before I request a DUNS number? <br />43 <br />
