<br />CERTIFICATION ON LAST PAGE
<br />RYAN L. BUTLER, CLERK
<br />Program Deliverable Acceptance and Disclaimer. The Department's acceptance of any specific project's task
<br />deliverables required by that project's Resilient Florida Program grant agreement, does not guarantee the
<br />Department's acceptance of the same or similar task deliverables, as required by a different Resilient Florida
<br />Program grant agreement, notwithstanding the Grantee(s) and/or project(s) at issue being the same or similar.
<br />The Department will review and accept all deliverables individually, pursuant to the terms and conditions of
<br />each grant agreement for which they are submitted, including Attachment 3, Grant Work Plan. The
<br />Department's acceptance of a specific deliverable does not constitute the Department's confirmation that the
<br />conclusions or statements made within said deliverable are truthful or accurate, including, but not limited to,
<br />claims of scientific validity and the certification of engineering practices. If a dispute arises between the
<br />Department and Grantee regarding the veracity of a specific deliverable's content, the Department may request
<br />that the Grantee provide additional documentation (e.g., a certification statement signed and sealed by a
<br />licensed Professional Engineer), verifying that the conclusions or statements at issue are true and correct to the
<br />best of the Grantee's knowledge, prior to the Department's acceptance of said deliverable.
<br />10. Sunshine Law Compliance. As per Paragraph 23 to Attachment 1, Standard Terms and Conditions, the Grantee
<br />is solely responsible for ensuring that its actions (and those of its agents) under the Agreement are made in
<br />compliance with Section 286.011, Florida Statutes—Florida's Government in the Sunshine Law—where
<br />applicable.
<br />Implementation Grants
<br />11. Sea Level Impact Proiection Study Requirement. If a state -funded construction project is located within an
<br />area where a Sea Level Impact Protection (SLIP) study is required pursuant to Section 380.0937, Florida
<br />Statutes, the Grantee is responsible for conducting such a SLIP study and submitting the resulting report to the
<br />Department. The SLIP study report must be received by the Department, approved by the Department, and
<br />published on the Department's website for at least thirty (30) days before construction can commence. Upon
<br />submission to the Department, SLIP study reports must meet all relevant statutory requirements, as well as
<br />the standards and criteria indicated in Chapter 62S-7, Florida Administrative Code.
<br />12. Permits. The Grantee acknowledges that receipt of this grant does not imply nor guarantee that a federal,
<br />state, or local permit will be issued for a particular activity. The Grantee agrees to ensure that all necessary
<br />permits are obtained prior to implementation of any grant -funded activity that may fall under applicable
<br />federal, state, or local laws. Further, the Grantee shall abide by all terms and conditions of each applicable
<br />permit for any grant -funded activity. Upon request, the Grantee must provide a copy of all required, acquired,
<br />and approved permits for the project.
<br />13. Grant funds may not be used to support ongoing efforts to comply with certain legal requirements or actions
<br />that were unanticipated, non-existent, or unknown to the Department at the time of this Agreement's
<br />execution, including regulatory and permit compliance requirements, non-compliance and citation fees, fees
<br />resulting from unanticipated permit conditions, settlement agreements, and compliance with formal or
<br />informal enforcement actions to resolve violations of applicable rules and statutes (including consent orders,
<br />Closed Without Official Enforcement agreements, and similar enforcement actions). Grant funds may be
<br />utilized to support ongoing efforts to comply with permit -required conditions, as approved by the Resilient
<br />Florida Program (e.g., pre-, during-, and post -construction monitoring and mitigation efforts).
<br />Grants Funded with American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funds
<br />14. Match Expenditure Monitoring. For any match -funded deliverable(s) identified in Attachment 3, Grant Work
<br />Plan, not accepted by the Department by the Date of Expiration listed in Section 3 to the Standard Grant
<br />Agreement (as modified by any properly executed amendment(s), as applicable), the Grantee must submit
<br />Exhibit M, Match Expenditure Monitoring Form, to the Department prior to ARPA-funded grant closeout to
<br />identify all remaining deliverable(s) which are to be completed solely using Grantee match funding. Failure
