FROM:
Brianne Bannwarth, Interim CED Administrator
SUBJECT: Re-appointment of Commissioner Charles Seil to the Planning
Commission
Commissioner Charles Seil’s 2nd three-year-term is officially expiring this June 30, 2024.
Commissioner Seil has been in remarkable service with the Planning Commission for
almost 9 years since June 2015. He has exemplified consistent commitment and active
participation during his entire tenure and he has served as Commission Chair last 2020
and is currently back at the leadership as the Commission Secretary for 2024.
Over the years, he has demonstrated understanding and commitment to the City’s
mission statement and Business Plan goals. He has the ability to review detailed
information and to balance the sometimes competing objectives presented to the
Commission.
I recommend that Commissioner Seil be re-appointed to a new three-year-term expiring
on June 30, 2027.
AGENDA ITEM #5. b)
AB - 3532
City Council Regular Meeting - 25 Mar 2024
SUBJECT/TITLE: Authorizing Legal Action against The Landing Gear Works LLC on
behalf of the Renton Municipal Airport
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Transportation (Aviation) Committee
DEPARTMENT: City Attorney
STAFF CONTACT: Alex Tuttle, Senior Assistant City Attorney
EXT.: 6492
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
An estimate of costs for attorney's fees will be available after March 25, 2024, following a meeting with the
City's chosen outside counsel. The expenditures will be derived from the Airport Professional Services Fund if
they cannot be recovered as part of future negotiations and proceedings.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The Landing Gear Works LLC is a tenant at the Renton Municipal Airport, subject to a lease (LAG-13-005), which is set to
expire on June 22, 2024. The lease is for two buildings on the Southeast corner of the Airport property, and one of the
buildings is being subleased, which subtenant is not a subject of the dispute. The Landing Gear Works LLC is additionally
renting two city hangars that are subject to month-to-month leases (LAG-19-002 and LAG-19-003). Beginning in
September 2022, The Landing Gear Works, LLC began to fall behind on payments on all three leases, which are invoiced
jointly each month. No payment has been received for any of the three leases since November 2023 and Tenant is
dramatically in arrears on all three leases at this time.
On March 13, 2024, the City completed the process of terminating all three leases, to take effect on March 31, 2024. If
the tenants have not vacated the premises on that date, further legal proceedings may be necessary to enforce the
terms of the lease(s). The City Attorney's office is in the process of procuring outside counsel to handle any such legal
proceedings to evict the tenant (known as an unlawful detainer) and/or to recover the unpaid rent and other damages,
should it be determined that further action is required. The lease for the two buildings (LAG-13-005) includes a provision
for attorney's fees to be awarded to the prevailing party in a dispute of this nature.
Pursuant to RCW 35A.12.100, the commencement of legal proceedings to enforce a contract require Council approval.
The administration is seeking advance authorization to commence legal proceedings, as it deems necessary, to enforce
the lease judicially. Such action may include, but is not limited to: damages, recovery of the leased space, and attorney's
fees.
EXHIBITS:
N/A
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Mayor and City Attorney to initiate further legal proceedings against The Landing Gear Works
LLC to enforce its lease with the Renton Municipal Airport.

The City of Renton was awarded by the Department of Commerce full grant amount of $325,000 over 2023

amount has been included in the Q1 CED budget adjustment of 2024.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The City of Renton is conducting a periodic review of its Comprehensive Plan under the Growth Management
Act. The review and any associated amendments are due by December 2024. The work will build upon Land
Use and Housing Grant and Middle Housing Grant work that will set the stage for the Land Use Element future
land use designation adjustments and Housing Element goals and policies and associated codes. The Periodic
Review will evaluate and create a draft and final Comprehensive Plan, and vet the draft through an
engagement and legislative process. The City of Renton requested BERK Consulting, Inc. (the Consultant) to
provide this scope of services to help fulfill a Commerce Grant to conduct the Periodic Review. The Grant
covers two phases: Phase I through June 2023 and Phase II through 2024.
The full grant amount is $325,000 over 2023 and 2024, with $162,500 available in 2023 and the second half,

SUBJECT/TITLE: 2023 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Contract
E24-248
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Finance Committee
DEPARTMENT: Executive Services Department
STAFF CONTACT: Deborah Needham , Emergency Management Director
EXT.: 7725
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
Amount budgeted: 0
Revenue generated: $58,285
The Executive Services Department was awarded funding from the Emergency Management Performance
Grant (EMPG) in the amount of $58,285.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) provides supplemental funding to support key
components of a comprehensive national emergency management system for disasters and emergencies.
Although EMPG funding is relatively stable, the amount cannot be guaranteed. The city was awarded $58,285
from EMPG funding. As a performance grant, the award will be expended entirely on the approved grant
projects specified in the contract. Council approved acceptance of the award on October 23 to allow work to
begin during the grant period while awaiting the contract from the state. Grant funds will be expended during
2024. Therefore, a 2024 budget adjustment of $58,285 in revenue is needed to reflect the grant amount
awarded.
The work plan in the contract specifies uses of the funds for cyber incident response planning and testing;
emergency management training for city staff, volunteers, and community partners; maintenance of amateur
radio and other communication systems; community outreach and translation of emergency preparedness
materials; and project assistance in documenting city processes and institutional knowledge to enhance
continuity of operations.

ARTICLE II. ADMINISTRATIVE AND/OR FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS
The Subrecipient shall comply with all applicable state and federal laws, rules, regulations, requirements and
program guidance identified or referenced in this Agreement and the informational documents published by
DHS/FEMA applicable to the 23EMPG Program, including, but not limited to, all criteria, restrictions, and
requirements of The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) Fiscal
Year 2023 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program document, the Fiscal Year 2023
Preparedness Grants Manual, FEMA Manual (FM) 207-22-0001 Version 4, 2023 (the Manual), the DHS Award
Letter for the Grant, and the federal regulations commonly applicable to DHS/FEMA grants, all of which are
incorporated herein by reference. The DHS Award Letter is incorporated in this Agreement as Attachment C.
The Subrecipient acknowledges that since this Agreement involves federal award funding, the performance
period may begin prior to the availability of appropriated federal funds. The Subrecipient agrees that it will not
hold the Department, the state of Washington, or the United States liable for any damages, claim for
reimbursement, or any type of payment whatsoever for services performed under this Agreement prior to
distribution of appropriated federal funds, or if federal funds are not appropriated or in a particular amount.
A. STATE AND FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR DHS/FEMA PREPAREDNESS GRANTS:
The following requirements apply to all DHS/FEMA Preparedness Grants administered by the
Department.
1. SUBAWARDS & CONTRACTS BY SUBRECIPIENT
a. The Subrecipient must make a case-by-case determination whether each agreement it
makes for the disbursement of 23EMPG funds received under this Agreement casts the
party receiving the funds in the role of a subrecipient or contractor in accordance with 2
CFR 200.331.
b. If the Subrecipient becomes a pass-through entity by making a subaward to a non-federal
entity as its subrecipient:
AGENDA ITEM #5. e)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY23 Page 3 of 45 City of Renton, E24-248
i. The Subrecipient must comply with all federal laws and regulations applicable to
pass-through entities of 23EMPG funds, including, but not limited to, those
contained in 2 CFR 200.
ii. The Subrecipient shall require its subrecipient(s) to comply with all applicable
state and federal laws, rules, regulations, requirements, and program guidance
identified or referenced in this Agreement and the informational documents
published by DHS/FEMA applicable to the 23EMPG Program, including, but not
limited to, all criteria, restrictions, and requirements of The Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) Fiscal Year
2023 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program document,
the Manual, the DHS Award Letter for the Grant in Attachment C, and the federal
regulations commonly applicable to DHS/FEMA grants.
iii. The Subrecipient shall be responsible to the Department for ensuring that all
23EMPG federal award funds provided to its subrecipients, and associated
matching funds, are used in accordance with applicable federal and state
statutes and regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award set
forth in Attachment C of this Agreement.
2. BUDGET, REIMBURSEMENT, AND TIMELINE
a. Within the total Grant Agreement Amount, travel, subcontracts, salaries, benefits, printing,
equipment, and other goods and services or other budget categories will be reimbursed
on an actual cost basis upon completion unless otherwise provided in this Agreement.
b. The maximum amount of all reimbursement requests permitted to be submitted under this
Agreement, including the final reimbursement request, is limited to and shall not exceed
the total Grant Agreement Amount.
c. If the Subrecipient chooses to include indirect costs within the Budget (Attachment F),
additional documentation is required based on the applicable situation. As described in 2
CFR 200.414 and Appendix VII to 2 CFR 200:
i. If the Subrecipient receives direct funding from any Federal agency(ies),
documentation of the rate must be submitted to the Department Key Personnel
per the following:
A. More than $35 million, the approved indirect cost rate agreement
negotiated with its federal cognizant agency.
B. Less than $35 million, the indirect cost proposal developed in accordance
with Appendix VII of 2 CFR 200 requirements.
ii. If the Subrecipient does not receive direct federal funds (i.e., only receives funds
as a subrecipient), the Subrecipient must either elect to charge a de minimis rate
of ten percent (10%) or 10% of modified total direct costs or choose to negotiate
a higher rate with the Department. If the latter is preferred, the Subrecipient must
contact Department Key Personnel for approval steps.
d. For travel costs, the Subrecipient shall comply with 2 CFR 200.475 and should consult
their internal policies, state rates set pursuant to RCW 43.03.050 and RCW 43.03.060 as
now existing or amended, and federal maximum rates set forth at https://www.gsa.gov,
and follow the most restrictive. If travel costs exceed set state or federal limits, travel costs
shall not be reimbursed without written approval by Department Key Personnel.
e. Reimbursement requests will include a properly completed State A-19 Invoice Form and
Reimbursement Spreadsheet (in the format provided by the Department) detailing the
expenditures for which reimbursement is sought. Reimbursement requests must be
submitted to Reimbursements@mil.wa.gov no later than the due dates listed within the
Timeline (Attachment E).
Reimbursement request totals should be commensurate to the time spent processing by
the Subrecipient and the Department.
AGENDA ITEM #5. e)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY23 Page 4 of 45 City of Renton, E24-248
f. Receipts and/or backup documentation for any approved items that are authorized under
this Agreement must be maintained by the Subrecipient consistent with record retention
requirements of this Agreement and be made available upon request by the Department
and auditors.
g. The Subrecipient must request prior written approval from Department Key Personnel to
waive or extend a due date in the Timeline (Attachment E). For waived or extended
reimbursement due dates, all allowable costs should be submitted on the next scheduled
reimbursement due date contained in the Timeline. Waiving or missing deadlines serves
as an indicator for assessing an agency’s level of risk of noncompliance with the
regulations, requirements, and the terms and conditions of the Agreement and may
increase required monitoring activities. Any request for a waiver or extension of a due date
in the Timeline will be treated as a request for Amendment of the Agreement. This request
must be submitted to the Department Key Personnel sufficiently in advance of the due
date to provide adequate time for Department review and consideration and may be
granted or denied within the Department’s sole discretion.
h. All work under this Agreement must end on or before the Grant Agreement End Date, and
the final reimbursement request must be submitted to the Department within the time
period notated in the Timeline (Attachment E) except as otherwise authorized by either (1)
written amendment of this Agreement or (2) written notification from the Department to the
Subrecipient to provide additional time for completion of the Subrecipient’s project(s).
i. No costs for purchases of equipment/supplies will be reimbursed until the related
equipment/supplies have been received by the Subrecipient, its contractor, or any non-
federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward and is invoiced by the vendor.
j. Failure to submit timely, accurate, and complete reports and reimbursement requests as
required by this Agreement (including, but not limited to, those reports in the Timeline
(Attachment E) will prohibit the Subrecipient from being reimbursed until such reports and
reimbursement requests are submitted and the Department has had reasonable time to
conduct its review.
k. Final reimbursement requests will not be approved for payment until the Subrecipient is
current with all reporting requirements contained in this Agreement.
l. A written amendment will be required if the Subrecipient expects cumulative transfers to
approved, direct budget categories, as identified in the Budget (Attachment F), to exceed
ten percent (10%) of the Grant Agreement Amount. Any changes to budget category totals
not in compliance with this paragraph will not be reimbursed without approval from the
Department.
m. Subrecipients shall only use federal award funds under this Agreement to supplement
existing funds and will not use them to replace (supplant) non-federal funds that have been
budgeted for the same purpose. The Subrecipient may be required to demonstrate and
document that a reduction in non-federal resources occurred for reasons other than the
receipt or expected receipt of federal funds.
3. REPORTING
a. With each reimbursement request, the Subrecipient shall report how the expenditures, for
which reimbursement is sought, relate to the Work Plan (Attachment D) activities in the
format provided by the Department.
b. With the final reimbursement request, the Subrecipient shall submit to the Department Key
Personnel a final report (in the format provided by the Department) describing all
completed activities under this Agreement, status of training course completion by
individual personnel, how the match was met and documented, and progress made with
NQS implementation.
c. The Subrecipient shall comply with the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency
Act (FFATA) and related OMB Guidance consistent with Public Law 109-282 as amended
by section 6202(a) of Public Law 110-252 (see 31 U.S.C. 6101 note) and complete and
AGENDA ITEM #5. e)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY23 Page 5 of 45 City of Renton, E24-248
return to the Department an Audit Certification/FFATA Form. This form is required to be
completed once per calendar year, per Subrecipient, and not per agreement. The
Department’s Contracts Office will request the Subrecipient submit an updated form at the
beginning of each calendar year in which the Subrecipient has an active agreement.
d. To document compliance with the National Incident Management System (NIMS), the
Subrecipient shall complete the annual NIMS survey conducted by EMD staff.
4. NIMS COMPLIANCE
a. The National Incident Management System (NIMS) identifies concepts and principles that
answer how to manage emergencies from preparedness to recovery regardless of their
cause, size, location, or complexity. NIMS provides a consistent, nationwide approach and
vocabulary for multiple agencies or jurisdictions to work together to build, sustain, and
deliver the core capabilities needed to achieve a secure and resilient nation.
b. Consistent implementation of NIMS provides a solid foundation across jurisdictions and
disciplines to ensure effective and integrated preparedness, planning, and response.
NIMS empowers the components of the National Preparedness System, a requirement of
Presidential Policy Directive 8, to guide activities within the public and private sector and
describes the planning, organizational activities, equipping, training, and exercising
needed to build and sustain the core capabilities in support of the National Preparedness
Goal.
c. In order to receive federal preparedness funding from the Department, the Subrecipient
must ensure and maintain adoption and implementation of NIMS. See Agreement
Attachment A, Article II section 3.c. for associated reporting requirements. The list of
objectives used for progress and achievement reporting can be found at
https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/nims/implementation-training.
d. Beginning with 23EMPG, FEMA is requiring phased implementation of the National
Qualification System (NQS) for EMPG subrecipients. The NQS Implementation Objectives
reflect the concepts and principles contained in NQS doctrine and aim to promote
consistency in NQS implementation nationwide. Subrecipients will be considered in
compliance with NQS requirements as long as they are working towards implementing the
NQS Implementation Objectives can be found at
https://www.fema.gov/sites/default/files/documents/fema_nims-nqs-implementation-
objectives_fact-sheet.pdf. Only EMPG-funded deployable personnel (determined by the
Subrecipient) will be required to meet NQS certification requirements.
For 23EMPG NQS Phase I of implementation, Subrecipients must:
i. Document the plan for implementation of NQS to include a timeline and an analysis
of which positions are subject to the requirement. FEMA has created an optional
template which can be found at
https://www.fema.gov/sites/default/files/documents/fema_nqs-sample-
implemetation-plan.pptx. All plans should be kept with Agreement documents.
ii. Describe the status of implementation as a part of the annual NIMS survey
conducted by EMD staff at the end of the calendar year.
iii. Note within the EMPG final report which EMPG funded personnel are categorized
as deployable and status of implementation, as applicable.
5. EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLY MANAGEMENT
a. The Subrecipient and any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward
shall comply with 2 CFR 200.317 through 200.327, and all Washington State procurement
statutes, when procuring any equipment or supplies under this Agreement, 2 CFR 200.313
for management of equipment, and 2 CFR 200.314 for management of supplies, to
include, but not limited to:
AGENDA ITEM #5. e)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY23 Page 6 of 45 City of Renton, E24-248
i. Upon successful completion of the terms of this Agreement, all equipment and
supplies purchased through this Agreement will be owned by the Subrecipient,
or a recognized non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient has made a
subaward, for which a contract, Subrecipient grant agreement, or other means
of legal transfer of ownership is in place.
ii. All equipment, and supplies as applicable, purchased under this Agreement will
be recorded and maintained in the Subrecipient’s inventory system.
iii. Inventory system records shall include:
A. Description of the property
B. Manufacturer’s serial number, or other identification number
C. Funding source for the property, including the Federal Award Identification
Number (FAIN) (Face Sheet, Box 11)
D. Assistance Listings Number (Face Sheet, Box 13)
E. Who holds the title
F. Acquisition date
G. Cost of the property and the percentage of federal participation in the cost
H. Location, use, and condition of the property at the date the information was
reported
I. Disposition data including the date of disposal and sale price of the
property.
iv. The Subrecipient shall take a physical inventory of the equipment, and supplies
as applicable, and reconcile the results with the property records at least once
every two years. Any differences between quantities determined by the physical
inspection and those shown in the records shall be investigated by the
Subrecipient to determine the cause of the difference. The Subrecipient shall, in
connection with the inventory, verify the existence, current utilization, and
continued need for the equipment.
v. The Subrecipient shall be responsible for any and all operational and
maintenance expenses and for the safe operation of the equipment and supplies
including all questions of liability. The Subrecipient shall develop appropriate
maintenance schedules and procedures to ensure the equipment, and supplies
as applicable, are well maintained and kept in good operating condition.
vi. The Subrecipient shall develop a control system to ensure adequate safeguards
to prevent loss, damage, and theft of the property. Any loss, damage, or theft shall
be investigated, and a report generated and sent to the Department’s Key
Personnel.
vii. The Subrecipient must obtain and maintain all necessary certifications and
licenses for the equipment.
viii. If the Subrecipient is authorized or required to sell the property, proper sales
procedures must be established and followed to ensure the highest possible
return. For disposition, if upon termination or at the Grant Agreement End Date,
when original or replacement supplies or equipment acquired under a federal
award are no longer needed for the original project or program or for other
activities currently or previously supported by a federal awarding agency, the
Subrecipient must comply with the following procedures:
A. For Supplies: If there is a residual inventory of unused supplies exceeding
$5,000 in total aggregate value upon termination or completion of the
project or program and the supplies are not needed for any other federal
AGENDA ITEM #5. e)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY23 Page 7 of 45 City of Renton, E24-248
award, the Subrecipient must retain the supplies for use on other activities
or sell them, but must, in either case, compensate the federal government
for its share. The amount of compensation must be computed in the same
manner as for equipment.
B. For Equipment:
1) Items with a current per-unit fair-market value of $5,000 or less may
be retained, sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of with no further
obligation to the federal awarding agency.
2) Items with a current per-unit fair-market value in excess of $5,000
may be retained or sold. The Subrecipient shall compensate the
federal awarding agency in accordance with the requirements of 2
CFR 200.313 (e) (2).
ix. Records for equipment shall be retained by the Subrecipient for a period of six
years from the date of the disposition, replacement, or transfer. If any litigation,
claim, or audit is started before the expiration of the six-year period, the records
shall be retained by the Subrecipient until all litigation, claims, or audit findings
involving the records have been resolved.
b. The Subrecipient shall comply with the Department’s Purchase Review Process, which is
incorporated by reference and made part of this Agreement. No reimbursement will be
provided unless the appropriate approval has been received.
c. Allowable equipment categories for the grant program are listed on the Authorized
Equipment List (AEL) located on the FEMA website at
https://www.fema.gov/grants/guidance-tools/authorized-equipment-list. It is important that
the Subrecipient and any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward
regard the AEL as an authorized purchasing list identifying items allowed under the
specific grant program; the AEL includes items that may not be categorized as equipment
according to the federal, state, local, and tribal definitions of equipment. The Subrecipient
is solely responsible for ensuring and documenting purchased items under this Agreement
are authorized as allowed items by the AEL at time of purchase.
If the item is not identified on the AEL as allowable under the grant program, the
Subrecipient must contact the Department Key Personnel for assistance in seeking FEMA
approval prior to acquisition.
d. Equipment purchases (those with a current per-unit fair market value in excess of
$5,000) must be identified and explained to the Department. Use, management, and
disposition of such equipment is subject to requirements outlined in 2 CFR 200.313.
Before making such purchases, the Subrecipient should analyze the cost benefits of
purchasing versus leasing equipment, especially those subject to rapid technical
advances.
e. Unless expressly provided otherwise, all equipment must meet all mandatory regulatory
state and DHS/FEMA adopted standards to be eligible for purchase using federal award
funds.
f. If funding is allocated to support emergency communications activities, the Subrecipient
must ensure that all projects comply with SAFECOM Guidance on Emergency
Communications Grants, located at https://www.cisa.gov/safecom/funding, including
provisions on technical standards that ensure and enhance interoperable
communications.
g. Effective August 13, 2020, FEMA recipients and subrecipients, as well as their contractors
and subcontractors, may not obligate or expend any FEMA award funds to:
i. Procure or obtain any equipment, system, or service that uses covered
telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential
component of any system, or as critical technology of any system;
AGENDA ITEM #5. e)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY23 Page 8 of 45 City of Renton, E24-248
ii. Enter into, extend, or renew a contract to procure or obtain any equipment, system,
or service that uses covered telecommunications equipment or services as a
substantial or essential component of any system, or as critical technology of any
system; or
iii. Enter into, extend, or renew contracts with entities that use covered
telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential
component of any system, or as critical technology as part of any system.
This prohibition regarding certain telecommunications and video surveillance services or
equipment is mandated by section 889 of the John S. McCain National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (FY 2019 NDAA), Pub. L. No. 115-232 (2018) and
2 CFR 200.216, 200.327, 200.471, and Appendix II to 2CFR200. Recipients and
subrecipients may use DHS/FEMA grant funding to procure replacement equipment and
services impacted by this prohibition, provided the costs are otherwise consistent with the
requirements of the Manual and the NOFO.
Per subsections 889(f)(2)-(3) of the FY 2019 NDAA, and 2 CFR 200.216, covered
telecommunications equipment or services means:
iv. Telecommunications equipment produced by Huawei Technologies Company or
ZTE Corporation (or any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities);
v. For the purpose of public safety, security of government facilities, physical security
surveillance of critical infrastructure, and other national security purposes, video
surveillance and telecommunications equipment produced by Hytera
Communications Corporation, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Company,
or Dahua Technology Company (or any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities);
vi. Telecommunications or video surveillance services provided by such entities or
using such equipment; or
vii. Telecommunications or video surveillance equipment or services produced or
provided by an entity that the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the
Director of National Intelligence or the Director of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, reasonably believes to be an entity owned or controlled by, or
otherwise connected to, the government of a covered foreign country.
h. The Subrecipient must pass through equipment and supply management requirements
that meet or exceed the requirements outlined above to any non-federal entity to which
the Subrecipient makes a subaward under this Agreement.
6. ENVIRONMENTAL AND HISTORICAL PRESERVATION
a. The Subrecipient shall ensure full compliance with the DHS/FEMA Environmental
Planning and Historic Preservation (EHP) program. EHP program information can be
found at https://www.fema.gov/grants/guidance-tools/environmental-historic all of which
are incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement.
b. Projects that have historical impacts or the potential to impact the environment, including,
but not limited to, construction of communication towers; modification or renovation of
existing buildings, structures and facilities; or new construction including replacement of
facilities, must participate in the DHS/FEMA EHP review process prior to initiation.
Modification of existing buildings, including minimally invasive improvements such as
attaching monitors to interior walls, and training or exercises occurring outside in areas
not considered previously disturbed, also require a DHS/FEMA EHP review before project
initiation.
c. The EHP review process involves the submission of a detailed project description that
includes the entire scope of work, including any alternatives that may be under
consideration, along with supporting documentation so FEMA may determine whether the
proposed project has the potential to impact environmental resources and/or historic
properties.
AGENDA ITEM #5. e)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY23 Page 9 of 45 City of Renton, E24-248
d. The Subrecipient agrees that to receive any federal preparedness funding, all EHP
compliance requirements outlined in applicable guidance must be met. The EHP review
process must be completed and FEMA approval received by the Subrecipient before
any work is started for which reimbursement will be later requested. Expenditures for
projects started before completion of the EHP review process and receipt of approval by
the Subrecipient will not be reimbursed.
7. PROCUREMENT
The Subrecipient shall comply with all procurement requirements of 2 CFR Part 200.317 through
200.327 and as specified in the General Terms and Conditions (Attachment B, A.10).
a. For all contracts expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, per 2 CFR 200.1,
the Subrecipient must notify the Department. The Department may request pre-
procurement documents, such as request for proposals, invitations for bids and
independent cost estimates. This requirement must be passed on to any non-federal entity
to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward, at which point the Subrecipient will be
responsible for requesting and reviewing pre-procurement documents.
b. For all sole source contracts expected to exceed the micro-purchase threshold per 2 CFR
200.1, the Subrecipient must submit justification to the Department for review and
approval. This requirement must be passed on to any non-federal entity to which the
Subrecipient makes a subaward, at which point the Subrecipient will be responsible for
reviewing and approving sole source justifications to any non-federal entity to which
Subrecipient makes any award.
c. The Subrecipient as well as its contractors and subcontractors must comply with the Build
America, Buy America Act (BABAA), which was enacted as a part of the Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act §§ 70901-70297, Pub. L. No. 117-58 (2021); and Executive
Order 14005, Ensuring the Future is Made in All of America by All of America’s Workers.
BABAA requires any infrastructure project receiving federal funding must ensure:
i. All iron and steel used in the project are produced in the United States. This means
all manufacturing processes, from initial melting stage through the application of
coatings, occurred in the United States.
ii. All manufactured products must be produced in the United States. For a
manufactured product to be considered produced in the United States, the cost of
the components of the manufactured product that are mined, produced, or
manufactured in the United States must be greater than 55% of the total cost of all
minimum amount of domestic content of manufactured product, unless subject to
another standard.
iii. All construction materials are manufactured in the United States. This means that
all manufacturing processes for construction material occurred in the United States.
Additionally, applicable infrastructure projects are subject to domestic preference
requirements. A domestic preference does not apply to non-infrastructure spending under
an award that also includes a covered project. A domestic preference applies to an entire
infrastructure project, even if it is funded by both federal and non-federal funds under one
or more awards.
i. Domestic preferences under BABAA only apply to articles, materials, and supplies
that are consumed in, incorporated into, or affixed to an infrastructure project. As
such, it does not apply to tools, equipment, and supplies, such as temporary
scaffolding, brought to the construction site and removed at or before the
completion of the infrastructure project. Nor does a domestic preference apply to
equipment and furnishings, such as movable chairs, desks, and portable computer
equipment, that are used at or within the finished infrastructure project but are not
an integral part of or permanently affixed to the structure.
ii. Infrastructure, for the purposes of BABAA, includes, at a minimum, the structures,
facilities, and equipment for, in the United States, roads, highways and bridges;
AGENDA ITEM #5. e)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY23 Page 10 of 45 City of Renton, E24-248
public transportation; dams, ports, harbors and other maritime facilities; intercity
passenger and freight railroads; freight and intermodal facilities; airports; water
systems, including drinking water and wastewater systems; electrical transmission
facilities and systems; utilities; broadband infrastructure; and buildings and real
property. Infrastructure includes facilities that generate, transport, and distribute
energy.
iii. The Subrecipient’s contractors and their subcontractors who apply or bid for an
award for an infrastructure project subject to the domestic preference requirement
in the BABAA shall file a required certification to the Subrecipient with each bid or
offer for an infrastructure project, unless a domestic preference requirement is
waived by FEMA. Contractors and subcontractors must certify that no federal
financial assistance funding for infrastructure projects will be provided unless all the
iron, steel, manufactured projects, and construction materials used in the project
are produced in the United States. BABAA, Pub. L. No. 117-58, §§ 70901-52.
Contractors and subcontractors shall also disclose any use of federal financial
assistance for infrastructure projects that does not ensure compliance with BABAA
domestic preference requirement. Such disclosures shall be forwarded to the
Subrecipient who will forward them to the Department who, in turn, will forward the
disclosures to FEMA. The Build America, Buy America Act Self-Certification form
is included herein as Attachment G.
If the Subrecipient is interested in applying for a waiver, the Subrecipient should contact
the Department Key Personnel to determine the requirements. All waiver requests must
include a detailed justification for the use of goods, products, or materials mined,
produced, or manufactured outside the United States and a certification that there was a
good faith effort to solicit bids for domestic products supported by terms included in
requests for proposals, contracts, and nonproprietary communications with potential
suppliers.
8. SUBRECIPIENT MONITORING
a. The Department will monitor the activities of the Subrecipient from award to closeout. The
goal of the Department’s monitoring activities is to ensure that subrecipients receiving
federal pass-through funds are in compliance with this Agreement, federal and state audit
requirements, federal grant guidance, and applicable federal and state financial
regulations, as well as 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F.
b. To document compliance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F requirements, the Subrecipient
shall complete and return to the Department an Audit Certification/FFATA form. Reporting
requirements are referenced in section 3.c.
c. Monitoring activities may include, but are not limited to:
i. Review of financial and performance reports
ii. Monitoring and documenting the completion of Agreement deliverables
iii. Documentation of phone calls, meetings (e.g. agendas, sign-in sheets, meeting
minutes), e-mails and correspondence
iv. Review of reimbursement requests and supporting documentation to ensure
allowability and consistency with Agreement work plan, budget, and federal
requirements
v. Observation and documentation of Agreement related activities, such as
exercises, training, events, and equipment demonstrations
vi. On-site visits to review equipment records and inventories, to verify source
documentation for reimbursement requests and performance reports, and to verify
completion of deliverables.

DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY23 Page 11 of 45 City of Renton, E24-248
d. The Subrecipient is required to meet or exceed the monitoring activities, as outlined
above, for any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward as a pass-
through entity under this Agreement.
e. Compliance will be monitored throughout the performance period to assess risk. Concerns
will be addressed through a Corrective Action Plan.
9. LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY (CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 TITLE VI)
The Subrecipient must comply with the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI) prohibition
against discrimination on the basis of national origin, which requires that subrecipients of federal
financial assistance take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to persons with limited
English proficiency (LEP) to their programs and services. Providing meaningful access for
persons with LEP may entail providing language assistance services, including oral interpretation
and written translation. Executive Order 13166, Improving Access to Services for Persons with
Limited English Proficiency (August 11, 2000), requires federal agencies to issue guidance to
recipients, assisting such organizations and entities in understanding their language access
obligations. DHS published the required recipient guidance in April 2011, DHS Guidance to
Federal Financial Assistance Recipients Regarding Title VI Prohibition Against National Origin
Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient Persons, 76 Fed. Reg. 21755-21768, (April 18,
2011). The Guidance provides helpful information such as how a recipient can determine the
extent of its obligation to provide language services, selecting language services, and elements
of an effective plan on language assistance for LEP persons. For additional assistance and
information regarding language access obligations, please refer to the DHS Recipient Guidance
at https://www.dhs.gov/guidance-published-help-department-supported-organizations-provide-
meaningful-access-people-limited and additional resources on https://www.lep.gov.

A.1 DEFINITIONS
As used throughout this Agreement, the terms will have the same meaning as defined in 2 CFR 200
Subpart A (which is incorporated herein by reference), except as otherwise set forth below:
a. “Agreement” means this Grant Agreement.
b. “Department” means the Washington State Military Department, as a state agency, any division,
section, office, unit or other entity of the Department, or any of the officers or other officials lawfully
representing that Department. The Department is a recipient of a federal award directly from a
federal awarding agency and is the pass-through entity making a subaward to a Subrecipient
under this Agreement.
c. “Investment” means the grant application submitted by the Subrecipient describing the project(s)
for which federal funding is sought and provided under this this Agreement. Such grant application
is hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
d. “Monitoring Activities” means all administrative, financial, or other review activities that are
conducted to ensure compliance with all state and federal laws, rules, regulations, authorities,
and policies.
e. “Stakeholders Preparedness Report (SPR)” The SPR is an annual three-step self-assessment
of a community’s capability levels based on the capability targets identified in the THIRA.
f. “Subrecipient” when capitalized is primarily used throughout this Agreement in reference to the
non-federal entity identified on the Face Sheet of this Agreement that has received a subaward
from the Department. However, the definition of “Subrecipient” is the same as in 2 CFR 200.1 for
all other purposes.
g. “Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA)” The THIRA is a three-step
risk assessment. The THIRA helps communities understand their risks and determine the level of
capability they need in order to address those risks. The outputs from this process lay the
foundation for determining a community’s capability gaps during the SPR process.
A.2 ADVANCE PAYMENTS PROHIBITED
The Department shall make no payments in advance or in anticipation of goods or services to be provided
under this Agreement. Subrecipient shall not invoice the Department in advance of delivery and invoicing

and hold the Department, the state of Washington, and the United States government harmless from any
and all causes of action arising from the ownership and operation of the project.

otherwise eligible as project costs.
A.23 PUBLICITY
The Subrecipient agrees to submit to the Department prior to issuance all advertising and publicity
matters relating to this Agreement wherein the Department’s name is mentioned, or language used from

AGENDA ITEM #5. e)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY23 Page 20 of 45 City of Renton, E24-248
of recapture shall exist for the life of the project following Agreement termination. Repayment by the

Department shall be entitled to its costs and expenses thereof, including attorney fees from the
Subrecipient.
A.25 RECORDS
a. The Subrecipient agrees to maintain all books, records, documents, receipts, invoices and all
other electronic or written records necessary to sufficiently and properly reflect the Subrecipient's
contracts, subawards, grant administration, and payments, including all direct and indirect
charges, and expenditures in the performance of this Agreement (the “records”).
b. The Subrecipient's records related to this Agreement and the projects funded may be inspected
and audited by the Department or its designee, by the Office of the State Auditor, DHS, FEMA or
their designees, by the Comptroller General of the United States or its designees, or by other
state or federal officials authorized by law, for the purposes of determining compliance by the
Subrecipient with the terms of this Agreement and to determine the appropriate level of funding
to be paid under the Agreement.
c. The records shall be made available by the Subrecipient for such inspection and audit, together
with suitable space for such purpose, at any and all times during the Subrecipient's normal
working day.
d. The Subrecipient shall retain and allow access to all records related to this Agreement and the

A.26 RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROJECT/STATEMENT OF WORK/WORK PLAN
While the Department undertakes to assist the Subrecipient with the project/statement of work/work plan
(project) by providing federal award funds pursuant to this Agreement, the project itself remains the sole
responsibility of the Subrecipient. The Department undertakes no responsibility to the Subrecipient, or to
any third party, other than as is expressly set out in this Agreement.
The responsibility for the design, development, construction, implementation, operation and maintenance
of the project, as these phrases are applicable to this project, is solely that of the Subrecipient, as is
responsibility for any claim or suit of any nature by any third party related in any way to the project.
Prior to the start of any construction activity, the Subrecipient shall ensure that all applicable federal,
state, and local permits and clearances are obtained, including, but not limited to, FEMA compliance with
the National Environmental Policy Act, the National Historic Preservation Act, the Endangered Species
Act, and all other environmental laws, regulations, and executive orders.
The Subrecipient shall defend, at its own cost, any and all claims or suits at law or in equity, which may
be brought against the Subrecipient in connection with the project. The Subrecipient shall not look to the
Department, or to any state or federal agency, or to any of their employees or agents, for any
performance, assistance, or any payment or indemnity, including, but not limited to, cost of defense
and/or attorneys’ fees, in connection with any claim or lawsuit brought by any third party related to any
design, development, construction, implementation, operation and/or maintenance of a project.
A.27 SEVERABILITY
If any court of rightful jurisdiction holds any provision or condition under this Agreement or its application
to any person or circumstances invalid, this invalidity does not affect other provisions, terms or conditions
of the Agreement, which can be given effect without the invalid provision. To this end, the terms and
conditions of this Agreement are declared severable.
A.28 SINGLE AUDIT ACT REQUIREMENTS (including all AMENDMENTS)
The Subrecipient shall comply with and include the following audit requirements in any subawards.
Non-federal entities, as Subrecipients of a federal award, that expend $750,000 or more in one fiscal
year of federal funds from all sources, direct and indirect, are required to have a single or a program-
specific audit conducted in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F. Non-federal entities that spend
less than $750,000 a year in federal awards are exempt from federal audit requirements for that year,
except as noted in 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F. As defined in 2 CFR Part 200, the term “non-federal entity”
AGENDA ITEM #5. e)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY23 Page 21 of 45 City of Renton, E24-248
means a state, local government, Indian tribe, institution of higher education, or nonprofit organization
that carries out a federal award as a recipient or subrecipient.
Subrecipients that are required to have an audit must ensure the audit is performed in accordance with
Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS) as found in the Government Auditing
Standards (the Revised Yellow Book) developed by the United States Comptroller General and the OMB
Compliance Supplement. The Subrecipient has the responsibility of notifying its auditor and requesting
an audit in compliance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F, to include the Washington State Auditor’s Office,
a federal auditor, or a public accountant performing work using GAGAS, as appropriate. Costs of the
audit may be an allowable grant expenditure as authorized by 2 CFR Part 200.425.
The Subrecipient shall maintain auditable records and accounts so as to facilitate the audit requirement
and shall ensure that any subcontractors also maintain auditable records. The Subrecipient is responsible
for any audit exceptions incurred by its own organization or that of its subcontractors. Responses to any
unresolved management findings and disallowed or questioned costs shall be included with the audit
report. The Subrecipient must respond to Department requests for information or corrective action
concerning audit issues or findings within 30 days of the date of request. The Department reserves the
right to recover from the Subrecipient all disallowed costs resulting from the audit.
After the single audit has been completed, and if it includes any audit findings, the Subrecipient must
send a full copy of the audit and its Corrective Action Plan to the Department at the following address no
later than nine (9) months after the end of the Subrecipient’s fiscal year(s):
Contracts Office
Washington Military Department
Finance Division, Building #1 TA-20
Camp Murray, WA 98430-5032
OR
Contracts.Office@mil.wa.gov
The Department retains the sole discretion to determine whether a valid claim for an exemption from the
audit requirements of this provision has been established.
Conducting a single or program-specific audit in compliance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F is a material
requirement of this Agreement. In the absence of a valid claim of exemption from the audit requirements
of 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F, the Subrecipient’s failure to comply with said audit requirements may result
in one or more of the following actions in the Department’s sole discretion: a percentage of federal awards
being withheld until the audit is completed in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F; the withholding
or disallowing of overhead costs; the suspension of federal awards until the audit is conducted and
submitted; or termination of the federal award.
A.29 SUBRECIPIENT NOT EMPLOYEE
The Subrecipient, and/or employees or agents performing under this Agreement, are not employees or
agents of the Department in any manner whatsoever. The Subrecipient will not be presented as nor
claim to be an officer or employee of the Department or of the State of Washington by reason hereof, nor
will the Subrecipient make any claim, demand, or application to or for any right, privilege or benefit
applicable to an officer or employee of the Department or of the State of Washington, including, but not
limited to, Workers’ Compensation coverage, unemployment insurance benefits, social security benefits,
retirement membership or credit, or privilege or benefit which would accrue to a civil service employee
under Chapter 41.06 RCW; OFM Reg. 4.3.1.1.8.
It is understood that if the Subrecipient is another state department, state agency, state university, state
college, state community college, state board, or state commission, that the officers and employees are
employed by the State of Washington in their own right.
If the Subrecipient is an individual currently employed by a Washington State agency, the Department
shall obtain proper approval from the employing agency or institution before entering into this contract.
A statement of "no conflict of interest" shall be submitted to the Department.
A.30 TAXES, FEES AND LICENSES
Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Subrecipient shall be responsible for, pay and maintain
in current status all taxes, unemployment contributions, fees, licenses, assessments, permit charges and
AGENDA ITEM #5. e)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY23 Page 22 of 45 City of Renton, E24-248
expenses of any other kind for the Subrecipient or its staff required by statute or regulation that are
applicable to Agreement performance.
A.31 TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE
Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement, the Subrecipient may terminate this Agreement by
providing written notice of such termination to the Department Key Personnel identified in the Agreement,
specifying the effective date thereof, at least thirty (30) days prior to such date.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Department, in its sole discretion and in the best
interests of the state of Washington, may terminate this Agreement in whole or in part ten (10) business
days after emailing notice. Upon notice of termination for convenience, the Department reserves the right
to suspend all or part of the Agreement, withhold further payments, or prohibit the Subrecipient from
incurring additional obligations of funds. In the event of termination, the Subrecipient shall be liable for all
damages as authorized by law. The rights and remedies of the Department provided for in this section
shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law.
A.32 TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION FOR LOSS OF FUNDING
The Department may unilaterally terminate or suspend all or part of this Grant Agreement, or may reduce
its scope of work and budget, if there is a reduction in funds by the source of those funds, and if such
funds are the basis for this Grant Agreement. The Department will email the Subrecipient ten (10)
business days prior to termination.
A.33 TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION FOR CAUSE
In the event the Department, in its sole discretion, determines the Subrecipient has failed to fulfill in a
timely and proper manner its obligations under this Agreement, is in an unsound financial condition so
as to endanger performance hereunder, is in violation of any laws or regulations that render the
Subrecipient unable to perform any aspect of the Agreement, or has violated any of the covenants,
agreements or stipulations of this Agreement, the Department has the right to immediately suspend or
terminate this Agreement in whole or in part.
The Department may notify the Subrecipient in writing of the need to take corrective action and provide
a period of time in which to cure. The Department is not required to allow the Subrecipient an opportunity
to cure if it is not feasible as determined solely within the Department’s discretion. Any time allowed for
cure shall not diminish or eliminate the Subrecipient’s liability for damages or otherwise affect any other
remedies available to the Department. If the Department allows the Subrecipient an opportunity to cure,
the Department shall notify the Subrecipient in writing of the need to take corrective action. If the
corrective action is not taken within ten (10) calendar days or as otherwise specified by the Department,
or if such corrective action is deemed by the Department to be insufficient, the Agreement may be
terminated in whole or in part.
The Department reserves the right to suspend all or part of the Agreement, withhold further payments,
or prohibit the Subrecipient from incurring additional obligations of funds during investigation of the
alleged compliance breach, pending corrective action by the Subrecipient, if allowed, or pending a
decision by the Department to terminate the Agreement in whole or in part.
In the event of termination, the Subrecipient shall be liable for all damages as authorized by law, including,
but not limited to, any cost difference between the original Agreement and the replacement or cover
Agreement and all administrative costs directly related to the replacement Agreement, e.g., cost of
administering the competitive solicitation process, mailing, advertising and other associated staff time.
The rights and remedies of the Department provided for in this section shall not be exclusive and are in
addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law.
If it is determined that the Subrecipient: (1) was not in default or material breach, or (2) failure to perform
was outside of the Subrecipient’s control, fault or negligence, the termination shall be deemed to be a
termination for convenience.
A.34 TERMINATION PROCEDURES
In addition to the procedures set forth below, if the Department terminates this Agreement, the
Subrecipient shall follow any procedures specified in the termination notice. Upon termination of this
Agreement and in addition to any other rights provided in this Agreement, the Department may require
the Subrecipient to deliver to the Department any property specifically produced or acquired for the
performance of such part of this Agreement as has been terminated.
AGENDA ITEM #5. e)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY23 Page 23 of 45 City of Renton, E24-248
If the termination is for convenience, the Department shall pay to the Subrecipient as an agreed upon
price, if separately stated, for properly authorized and completed work and services rendered or goods
delivered to and accepted by the Department prior to the effective date of Agreement termination, the
amount agreed upon by the Subrecipient and the Department for (i) completed work and services and/or
equipment or supplies provided for which no separate price is stated, (ii) partially completed work and
services and/or equipment or supplies provided which are accepted by the Department, (iii) other work,
services and/or equipment or supplies which are accepted by the Department, and (iv) the protection and
preservation of property.
Failure to agree with such amounts shall be a dispute within the meaning of the "Disputes" clause of this
Agreement. If the termination is for cause, the Department shall determine the extent of the liability of the
Department. The Department shall have no other obligation to the Subrecipient for termination. The
Department may withhold from any amounts due the Subrecipient such sum as the Department
determines to be necessary to protect the Department against potential loss or liability.
The rights and remedies of the Department provided in this Agreement shall not be exclusive and are in
addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law.

the Subrecipient shall:
a. Stop work under the Agreement on the date, and to the extent specified, in the notice;
b. Place no further orders or contracts for materials, services, supplies, equipment and/or facilities
in relation to this Agreement except as may be necessary for completion of such portion of the
work under the Agreement as is not terminated;
c. Assign to the Department, in the manner, at the times, and to the extent directed by the
Department, all of the rights, title, and interest of the Subrecipient under the orders and contracts
so terminated, in which case the Department has the right, at its discretion, to settle or pay any
or all claims arising out of the termination of such orders and contracts;

WORK PLAN
FY 2023 Emergency Management Performance Grant
Emergency Management Organization: City of Renton Office of Emergency Management (OEM)
The purpose of EMPG is to assist with the enhancement, sustainment and improvement of state, local, and tribal
emergency management programs. Activities conducted using EMPG funding should relate directly to the five mission
areas of the national preparedness goal of prevention, protection, response, recovery, and mitigation. Washington
State does not require a specific number of activities to receive EMPG funding. However, there are required
capabilities that must be sustained in order to remain eligible for EMPG funding, including but not limited to the
ability to communicate and warn, educate the public, plan, train, exercise, and be NIMS compliant. The Work Plan
delineates the Emergency Management Organization's emergency management program planning and priority focus
for this grant cycle (to include EMPG grant and local funds).

Cyber Incident Response Plan: City of
Renton will work with a 3rd party
vendor to create a customized Incident
Response Plan applicable to the city's
environment and the specific steps to
take in the event of a cyber incident.
The final Disaster Recovery
Assessment and Planning Report
from 2021-2022, which was
developed subsequent to a cyber
incident in 2020, identified several
significant prevention/mitigation
measures which would greatly
enhance the city’s cybersecurity,
including development of an
operational plan, and testing
through an exercise. Additionally,
this falls in line with current
disaster recovery/business
continuity initiatives (active
revision and expansion of the
citywide Continuity of Operations
Plan is underway) and planning for
proper creation/updating of
applicable policies.
Overall, city IT staff and other
stakeholders involved in a cyber
incident response will be better
trained to respond should an incident
occur.
• The desired outcome is to deliver a
more efficient response during a
cyber incident, aiding in the
protection and integrity of the city's
systems, infrastructure and data, and
preserving continuity of government
operations in continued service to the
residents and businesses of Renton.
• Budget expansion has already been
requested to continue onboarding of
a managed SIEM solution, which is
part of our roadmap for cybersecurity
improvements. Funding for these
projects will allow the IT team to
address these gaps immediately
rather than postponing them due to
lack of funds.

Cyber Incident Tabletop Exercise: A
Table Top Exercise will be developed by
a consultant to do a dry-run of the plan
to train and ensure familiarity with the
plan for all stakeholders.
After the cyber incident in 2020,
the city's cyberinsurance company
required that the city increase its
planning and preparedness,
including the development of an
Incident Response Plan. In order to
test the plan it will also be
necessary to conduct an exercise.
This will be a new addition to our
overall cybersecurity program and
will improve our ability to respond
in the event of a major cyber
event.
Overall, city IT staff and other

Emergency management training: Send
emergency management and city staff
and volunteers and community
partners through training for
emergency planning, response,
recovery or mitigation.
• Emergency Management staff
alone cannot provide a
comprehensive response and
recovery in a disaster. It is
necessary to train other response
partners to play a role in the
disaster.
• However, other departments and
agencies lack sufficient training
budget and schedule flexibility to
send their personnel to the
necessary trainings. This results in
people who are poorly prepared
for their roles in a disaster.
• In the 2022 5-year Emergency
Management Strategic Plan Goal
#2 is "Prepared and responsive city
teams", where "All employees are
prepared for emergencies, can be
reached, and report to work
promptly" and "City teams
A smoother response resulting in
better utilization of resources and less
duplication of effort while protecting
lives, property, the environment, and
the economy.

contribute to, train on, exercise
and learn from emergency plans
and incidents."
• Having properly trained and
prepared EOC workers is a NIMS
requirement. Other departments
lack sufficient or targeted training
dollars to do the extra training
requested of them by emergency
management.

Communications equipment:
Continuing the replacement cycle for
existing aging equipment used for
emergency communications, including
adding new portable radios (on
amateur radio and public safety radio
systems), replacing dead battery packs
and damaged antennae for amateur
radio equipment, and instituting a
regular replacement cycle. (Batteries:
10BC-00-BATT; Radios and antenna:
06CP-03-TOWR, 06CP-01-PORT, 06CP-
01-MOBL, and 06CP-01-BASE)
• Without operational
communications equipment,
responders, the EOC, and other
partners are unable to
communicate and coordinate
during a disaster.
• The draft AAR/IP for Cascadia
Rising 2022 notes that "amateur
radio equipment deficiencies were
identified".
• The PSERN radio replacement
project did not include one public
safety portable radio replacement
(as it had been borrowed from
another agency) and did not
include a mobile public safety
radio for the Mobile
Communication Response Unit.
• Equipment failures were
discovered in 2022, therefore had
not been budgeted for in the
biennial budget. Thus grant funds
will be needed for replacement
costs.
• Operational Communications,
and interoperable communications
(which are supported by our
Communications are operational,
facilitating emergency response
coordination.

Emergency management continuity
plan: Utilize a contractor to conduct
interviews and document and organize
institutional knowledge related to city
essential functions, particularly
emergency management processes,
that are not currently in writing.
• Participant comments from the
2022 IEMC identified the need to
"get things out of people's heads
and onto paper"
• The city's COOP mandates that
all divisions must document
essential information and
processes in the COOP, and the
2022 5 year strategic plan for
emergency management identifies
continuity planning as a priority.
• The result will be an indexed
manual of processes and resources
for emergency management that will
guide new personnel, or non
emergency management personnel,
in carrying out the essential functions
of emergency management in the
event EM or other mission critical
personnel are incapacitated or absent
during an incident.
• This will provide continuity of
operations in the emergency
management division, and allow the
city to continue to serve the
community with disaster services.

BUILD AMERICA, BUY AMERICA ACT SELF-CERTIFICATION
The undersigned certifies, to the best of their knowledge and belief, that:
The Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA) requires that no federal financial assistance for “infrastructure”
projects is provided “unless all of the iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials used in the
project are produced in the United States.” Section 70914 of Public Law No. 117-58, §§ 70901-52.
The undersigned certifies that for the Insert Project Name and Location that the iron, steel, manufactured
products, and construction materials used in this contract are in full compliance with the BABAA requirements
including:
1. All iron and steel used in the project are produced in the United States. This means all manufacturing
processes, from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings, occurred in the United States.
2. All manufactured products purchased with FEMA financial assistance must be produced in the United
States. For a manufactured product to be considered produced in the United States, the cost of the
components of the manufactured product that are mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States
is greater than 55% of the total cost of all components of the manufactured product, unless another
standard for determining the minimum amount of domestic content of the manufactured product has been
established under applicable law or regulation.
3. All construction materials are manufactured in the United States. This means that all manufacturing
processes for the construction material occurred in the United States.
“The [Contractor or Subcontractor], ______________________, certifies or affirms the truthfulness and
accuracy of each statement of its certification and disclosure, if any. In addition, the [Contractor or
Subcontractor] understands and agrees that the provisions of 31 U.S.C. Chap. 38, Administrative Remedies for
False Claims and Statements, apply to this certification and disclosure, if any.”
