C. PROCUREMENT All Procurement transactions will be conducted in a manner providing full and open competition and shall comply with the standards articulated in: • 2 C.F.R. Part 200; • Chapter 287, Florida Statues; and, • Any local procurement policy. Per 2 CFR 200.318 through 200.326, Recipients are required to adhere to certain procurement standards for entering contracts for personnel or services. This includes full and open competition, methods of procurement to follow, federal or passthrough entity review, and including federal provisions intro contracts. D. CONSTRUCTION and RENOVATION Construction and renovation projects for a local government's principal Emergency Operations Center (EOC), are allowable under the EMPA Program. The Division must provide written approval prior to the use of any EMPA Program funds for construction or renovation. Requests for EMPA Program funds for construction of an EOC must be accompanied by a justification to their EMPA Grant Manager for review and processing. The above examples are not intended to exclude other construction projects as potentially allowable costs. For example, construction of a facility for the storage of critical emergency supplies, as a Point of Distribution (POD) for emergency distribution, and/or to serve as a staging area for deployment of emergency response resources is potentially an allowable expense. Other construction or renovation projects, such as a secondary or local EOC, will be considered on a case-by-case basis, with advance written approval. E. FINANCIAL CONSEQUENCES: If a recipient fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the State award, the Division may terminate the award in whole or part. If the noncompliance can be corrected, the Division may first attempt to direct the recipient to correct the noncompliance. This may take the form of a Compliance Notification. If the noncompliance cannot be correct or the recipient is nonresponsive, one or more of the following steps may be taken: (1) Temporarily withhold payments pending correction of the deficiency by the recipient. (2) Disallow (that is, deny both use of funds and any applicable matching credit for) all or part of the cost of the activity or action not in compliance. (3) Wholly or partly suspend or terminate the award. (4) Take other remedies that may be legally available. 42
