<br />shall be responsible for maintaining appropriate property records for any subcontracts that include the purchase
<br />of equipment as part of the delivery of services. The Grantee shall comply with this requirement and ensure its
<br />subconracts issued under this Agreement, if any, impose this requirement, in writing, on its subcontractors.
<br />i. For fixed-price (vendor) subcontracts, the following provisions shall apply: The Grantee may

<br />work described in Attachment 3, Grant Work Plan. Invoices submitted to Department for fixed-
<br />price subcontracted activities shall be supported with a copy of the subcontractor's invoice and a
<br />copy of the tabulation form for the competitive procurement process (e.g., Invitation to Bid, Request
<br />for Proposals, or other similar competitive procurement document) resulting in the fixed-price
<br />subcontract. The Grantee may request approval from Department to award a fixed-price subcontract
<br />resulting from procurement methods other than those identified above. In this instance, Grantee shall
<br />request the advance written approval from Department's Grant Manager of the fixed price
<br />negotiated by Grantee. The letter of request shall be supported by a detailed budget and Scope of
<br />Services to be performed by the subcontractor. Upon receipt of Department Grant Manager's
<br />approval of the fixed-price amount, Grantee may proceed in finalizing the fixed-price subcontract.
<br />ii. If the procurement is subject to the Consultant's Competitive Negotiation Act under section
<br />287.055, F.S. or the Brooks Act, Grantee must provide documentation clearly evidencing it has
<br />complied with the statutory or federal requirements.

<br />receipts or invoices. Additionally, independent of Grantee's contract obligations to its subcontractor, Department
<br />shall not reimburse any of the following types of charges: cell phone usage; attorney's fees or court costs; civil
<br />or administrative penalties; or handling fees, such as set percent overages associated with purchasing supplies or
