40. Disclosure of Gifts from Foreign Sources.
<br />If the value of the grant under this Agreement is $100,000 or more, Grantee shall disclose to Department any current
<br />or prior interest of, any contract with, or any grant or gift received from a foreign country of concern, as defined in
<br />section 286.101, F.S., if such interest, contract, or grant or gift has a value of $50,000 or more and such interest
<br />existed at any time or such contract or grant or gift was received or in force at any time during the previous 5 years.
<br />Such disclosure shall include the name and mailing address of the disclosing entity, the amount of the contract or
<br />grant or gift or the value of the interest disclosed, the applicable foreign country of concern and, if applicable, the
<br />date of termination of the contract or interest, the date of receipt of the grant or gift, and the name of the agent or
<br />controlled entity that is the source or interest holder. If the disclosure requirement is applicable as described above,
<br />then within 1 year before applying for any grant, Grantee must also provide a copy of such disclosure to the
<br />Department of Financial Services.
<br />41. Food Commodities.
<br />To the extent authorized by federal law, the Department, its grantees, contractors and subcontractors shall give
<br />preference to food commodities grown or produced in this state when purchasing food commodities, including farm
<br />products as defined in section 823.14, F.S., of any class, variety, or use thereof in their natural state or as processed
<br />by a farm operation or processor for the purpose of marketing such product.
<br />42. Anti-human Trafficking.
<br />If the Grantee is a nongovernmental entity, the Grantee must provide the Department with an affidavit signed by an
<br />officer or a representative of the Grantee under penalty of perjury attesting that the Grantee does not use coercion for
<br />labor or services as defined in section 787.06, F.S.
<br />43. Iron and Steel for Public Works Projects.
<br />If this Agreement funds a "public works project" as defined in section 255.0993, F.S., or the purchase of materials to
<br />be used in a public works project, any iron or steel permanently incorporated in the Project must be "produced in the
<br />United States," as defined in section 255.0993, F.S. This requirement does not apply if the Department determines
<br />that any of the following circumstances apply to the Project:
<br />(1) iron or steel products produced in the United States are not produced in sufficient quantities, reasonably
<br />available, or of satisfactory quality;
<br />(2) the use of iron or steel products produced in the United States will increase the total cost of the project by more
<br />than twenty percent (20%); or
<br />(3) complying with this requirement is inconsistent with the public interest.
<br />Further, this requirement does not prevent the Contractor's minimal use of foreign steel and iron materials if -
<br />(1)
<br />f(1) such materials are incidental or ancillary to the primary product and are not separately identified in the project
<br />specifications; and
<br />(2) the "cost" of such materials, as defined in section 255.0993, F.S., does not exceed one-tenth of one percent (1%)
<br />of the total Project Cost under this Agreement or $2,500, whichever is greater.
<br />Electrical components, equipment, systems, and appurtenances, including supports, covers, shielding, and other
<br />appurtenances related to an electrical system that are necessary for operation or concealment (excepting
<br />transmission and distribution poles) are not considered to be iron or steel products and are, therefore, exempt from
<br />the requirements of this paragraph.
<br />This provision shall be applied in a manner consistent with and may not be construed to impair the state's
<br />obligations under any international agreement.
<br />44. Complete and Accurate information.
<br />Grantee represents and warrants that all statements and information provided to DEP are current, complete, and
<br />accurate. This includes all statements and information in this Grant, as well as its Attachments and Exhibits.
<br />45. Execution in Counterparts and Authority to Sign.
<br />This Agreement, any amendments, and/or change orders related to the Agreement, may be executed in counterparts,
<br />each of which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute the same instrument. In accordance with the
<br />Electronic Signature Act of 1996, electronic signatures, including facsimile transmissions, may be used and shall have
<br />the same force and effect as a written signature. Each person signing this Agreement warrants that he or she is duly
<br />authorized to do so and to bind the respective party to the Agreement.
