Should the City waive certain development and impact fees for the Renton Housing

RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a 100-percent waiver of the eligible development fees as provided in Renton
Municipal Code (RMC) 4-1-210C.4 for the Renton Housing Authority Sunset Oaks
Apartments development with the City contributing $101,732.80 or 20-percent of the

BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The Renton Housing Authority has requested a waiver of development and impact fees
for the Sunset Oaks Apartments project pursuant to RMC 4-1-210C.5. This project
includes 60 affordable housing units located at 1073 Harrington Ave NE adjacent to the

Center Village (CV) zoning designation. The subject property is also a component of the
Sunset Terrace Redevelopment Master Site Plan that was approved in 2015.
The subject property is vacant and currently owned by the Renton Housing Authority.

the ability to provide affordable housing and document compliance with annual
reporting.
The “Waived Fees – Affordable Rental Housing Incentive,” RMC 4-1-210C is intended to
encourage new affordable rental housing in the City by waiving certain development
and mitigation fees for eligible affordable rental housing projects. As such, Renton
Housing Authority has requested that the following permit fees, impact fees, and system
development charges be waived for the Sunset Oaks development project:
Building permit and plan review fees;
Public Works plan and inspection fees;
Transportation and Parks impact fees;
Fire impact fees;
Civil plan review and inspection fees;
Water, Surface Water, and Wastewater system development charges; and
Technology surcharge fees
Per State law, a 100-percent waiver requires a 20-percent City contribution towards the
transportation, parks, and fire impact fees.1
Staff has reviewed the project and determined it is eligible for a fee waiver pursuant to
the criteria enumerated in RMC 4-1-210C.3. The estimated total fees requested to be
waived for the Sunset Oaks Apartments are $800,860.00. The City would contribute
$101,732.80 or 20-percent of the total transportation, parks, and fire impact fees into
those respective impact fee accounts. The contribution would be covered by a request
for a first quarter budget adjustment.
Per RMC 4-1-210C.6, if the fee waiver is approved by City Council, the applicant would
be required to submit a restrictive covenant for the property for review and approval by
the Community and Economic Development Administrator. The restrictive covenant is
required to ensure the dwelling units are maintained as affordable for a minimum of 30-
years. The restrictive covenant must be executed and recorded at the applicant’s
expense prior to the issuance of the building permit, unless otherwise approved by City
Council. Staff is recommending deferring the execution and recording of the restrictive
covenant documents to prior to the issuance of Temporary Certificate of Occupancy
(TCO) for the first building in order to expedite permit review and issuance.
Per RMC 4-1-210C.7, if the fee waiver is approved by City Council, the applicant is
required to enter into a contract with the City that is approved by City Council regarding
1 A potential amendment to the impact fee ordinance that would limit the impact fee waiver to 80-
percent, thereby eliminating the requirement of a City contribution, is currently being analyzed by staff
for future City Council consideration.

the terms and conditions of the project as it relates to the affordable rental housing
incentive. As the contract would be executed and recorded later in the development
process and prior to TCO similar to the above-referenced restrictive covenant, staff
recommends the City Council authorize the Mayor to enter into the contract with the
applicant to effectuate the fee waiver.
CONCLUSION:
The Sunset Oaks Apartments, a new 60 unit affordable rental housing development,
meets the eligibility criteria for the waived fees as identified in RMC 4-1-210C.3. The fee
waiver will assist in providing new affordable rental housing and supports the City’s
ongoing redevelopment efforts in the Sunset Area.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Council Concur
DEPARTMENT: Executive Department
STAFF CONTACT: Deborah Needham, Emergency Management Director
EXT.: 7027
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
Amount budgeted: N/A
Revenue generated: $58,013
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. Due to delays in the issuance
of FY2019 grant contract, an award letter permitting eligible expenditures to be charged to this grant was passed and
served as official notification of the city’s FY 2019/20 EMPG of $58,013. However, the contract itself was not signed prior
to the change in mayoral administration. Grant funds are expected during FY2019, per requirements of EMPG.
Therefore, Council’s approval of the EMPG 2019 contract is needed to ensure that grant reimbursement is available and
grant expenditures will not need to be absorbed by the city.

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 19EMPG 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 2019 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) document, the FEMA Preparedness Grants
Manual document, the DHS Award Letter for Grant No. EMS-2019-EP-00003-S01, 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 Exhibit F.
The Subrecipient acknowledges that since this Agreement involves federal award funding, the period of
performance described herein 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 19EMPG funds received under this Agreement casts the
party receiving the funds in the role of a Subrecipient or contractor in accordance with 2
CFR 200.330.
b. If the Subrecipient becomes a pass-through entity by making a subaward to a non-federal
entity as its Subrecipient:
i. The Subrecipient must comply with all federal laws and regulations applicable to
pass-through entities of 19EMPG 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 19EMPG 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
2019 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) document, the DHS
AGENDA ITEM #7. d)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY 19 Page 3 of 35 City of Renton OEM, E20-174
Award Letter for Grant No. EMS-2019-EP-00003-S01 in Exhibit F, and the
federal regulations commonly applicable to DHS/FEMA grants.
iii. The Subrecipient shall be responsible to the Department for ensuring that all
19EMPG 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 Exhibit F 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 (Exhibit E), an
indirect cost rate agreement negotiated between the federal cognizant agency and the
Subrecipient establishing approved indirect cost rate(s) as described in 2 CFR 200.414
and Appendix VII to 2 CFR 200 must be submitted to the Department Key Personnel.
However, under 2 CFR 200.414(f), if the Subrecipient has never received a negotiated
indirect cost rate agreement establishing federally negotiated rate(s), the Subrecipient
may negotiate a rate with the Department or charge a de minimis rate of 10% of modified
total direct costs. The Subrecipient’s actual indirect cost rate may vary from the approved
rate but must not exceed the approved negotiated indirect cost rate percentage for the
time period of the expenditures. If a Subrecipient chooses to charge the 10% de minimis
rate, but did not charge indirect costs to previous subawards, a request for approval to
charge indirect costs must be submitted to the Department Key Personnel for approval
with an explanation for the change.
d. For travel costs, the Subrecipient shall comply with 2 CFR 200.474 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 http://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 (Exhibit D).
Reimbursement request totals should be commensurate to the time spent processing by
the Subrecipient and the Department.
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 should request prior written approval from Department Key Personnel
to waive the due date in the Timeline (Exhibit D) and, once approved, submit those costs
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 (Exhibit D) 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
AGENDA ITEM #7. d)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY 19 Page 4 of 35 City of Renton OEM, E20-174
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 45 days after
the Grant Agreement End Date, except as otherwise authorized by written amendment of
this Agreement and issued by the Department.
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) 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
budget categories, as identified in the Budget (Exhibit E), to exceed 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 (Exhibit C) 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 describing all completed activities under this Agreement.
c. In conjunction with the final report, the Subrecipient shall submit a separate report detailing
how the EMPG Training requirements were met for all personnel funded by federal or
matching funds under this Agreement.
d. 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
return to the Department the FFATA Form located at http://mil.wa.gov/emergency-
management-division/grants/requiredgrantforms, which is incorporated by reference and
made a part of this Agreement.
e. The Subrecipient shall participate in the State’s Stakeholder Preparedness Review (SPR)
as well as the State's Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA), as
needed.
4. EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLY MANAGEMENT
a. The Subrecipient and any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward
shall comply with 2 CFR 200.318 – 200.326 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:
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
AGENDA ITEM #7. d)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY 19 Page 5 of 35 City of Renton OEM, E20-174
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, model number, or other identification
number
C. funding source for the equipment, including the Federal Award
Identification Number (FAIN)
D. Assistance Listings Number (formerly CFDA Number)
E. who holds the title
F. acquisition date
G. cost of the equipment and the percentage of federal participation in the cost
H. location, use, and condition of the equipment 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 their 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.
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
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.
AGENDA ITEM #7. d)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY 19 Page 6 of 35 City of Renton OEM, E20-174
B. For Equipment:
1) Items with a current per-unit fair-market value of $5,000 or less may
be retained, sold, 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 categories for the EMPG Program are listed on the Authorized Equipment List
(AEL) located on the FEMA website at http://www.fema.gov/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 and 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 EMPG, the Subrecipient must
contact the Department Key Personnel for assistance in seeking FEMA approval prior to
acquisition.
d. Unless expressly provided otherwise, all equipment must meet all mandatory regulatory
and/or DHS/FEMA adopted standards to be eligible for purchase using federal award
funds.
e. The Subrecipient must pass on 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.
5. 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/media-library/assets/documents/85376 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 #7. d)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY 19 Page 7 of 35 City of Renton OEM, E20-174
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 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.
6. PROCUREMENT
a. The Subrecipient shall comply with all procurement requirements of 2 CFR Part 200.318
through 200.326 and as specified in the General Terms and Conditions, Exhibit B, A.10.
b. For all sole source contracts expected to exceed $250,000, the Subrecipient must submit
to the Department for pre-procurement review and approval the procurement documents,
such as requests 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 reviewing and
approving sole source justifications of any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient
makes a subaward.
7. SUBRECIPIENT MONITORING
a. The Department will monitor the activities of the Subrecipient from award to closeout. The
goal of the Department’s monitoring activities will be to ensure that agencies 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 the “2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F Audit
Certification Form” located at http://mil.wa.gov/emergency-management-
division/grants/requiredgrantforms with the signed Agreement and each fiscal year
thereafter until the Agreement is closed, which is incorporated by reference and made a
part of this Agreement.
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, funded 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.
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.
8. LIMITED ENGLISH PROFIENCY (CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 TITLE VI)
a. 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
AGENDA ITEM #7. d)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY 19 Page 8 of 35 City of Renton OEM, E20-174
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 http://www.lep.gov.
9. 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 FY 2019 federal preparedness funding, to include EMPG, the
Subrecipient will ensure all NIMS objectives have been initiated and/or are in progress
toward completion. NIMS Implementation Objectives are located at
https://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/130743.
B. EMPG PROGRAM SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
1. The Department receives EMPG Program funding from DHS/FEMA, which is provided to assist
state, local, and tribal governments to enhance and sustain all-hazards emergency management
capabilities as authorized by Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act,
as amended (42 U.S.C. §§ 5121 et seq.) and Section 662 of the Post Katrina Emergency
Management Act (6 U.S.C. § 762).
2. A portion of the 19EMPG is passed through to local jurisdictions and tribes with emergency
management programs to supplement their local/tribal operating budgets to help sustain and
enhance emergency management capabilities pursuant to Washington Administrative Code
(WAC) 118-09.
3. The Subrecipient shall use the EMPG funds authorized under this Agreement only to perform
tasks as described in the Work Plan of the Subrecipient’s application for funding, as approved by
the Department and incorporated into this Agreement.
4. Funding may not be used to replace or supplant existing local or tribal government funding of
emergency management programs.
5. The Subrecipient shall provide a fifty percent match of non-federal origin. The Federal share
applied toward the EMPG budget shall not exceed fifty percent of the total budget as submitted
in the application and approved in Budget, Exhibit E. To meet matching requirements, the
Subrecipient’s cash matching contributions must be considered reasonable, allowable, allocable,
AGENDA ITEM #7. d)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY 19 Page 9 of 35 City of Renton OEM, E20-174
and necessary under the grant program and must comply with all Federal requirements and
regulations, including, but not limited to, 2 CFR Part 200. An appropriate mechanism must be in
place to capture, track, and document matching funds. In the final report, the Subrecipient shall
identify how the match was met and documented.
6. All personnel funded in any part through federal award or matching funds under this Agreement
shall:
a. Complete and record proof of completion for the NIMS training requirements outlined in
the NIMS Training Program located at

AGENDA ITEM #7. d)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY 19 Page 12 of 35 City of Renton OEM, E20-174
undertaken or located; and no other official of the Subrecipient who exercises any functions or
responsibilities with respect to the project during his or her tenure, shall have any personal or pecuniary
gain or interest, direct or indirect, in any contract, subcontract, or the proceeds thereof, for work to be
performed in connection with the project assisted under this Agreement.
The Subrecipient shall incorporate, or cause to incorporate, in all such contracts or subawards, a
provision prohibiting such interest pursuant to this provision.
A.10 CONTRACTING & PROCUREMENT
a. The Subrecipient shall use a competitive procurement process in the procurement and award of
any contracts with contractors or subcontractors that are entered into under the original
agreement award. The procurement process followed shall be in accordance with 2 CFR Part
200.318 General procurement standards through 200.326 Contract provisions.
As required by Appendix II to 2 CFR Part 200, all contracts entered into by the Subrecipient under
this Agreement must include the following provisions, as applicable:
1) Contracts for more than the simplified acquisition threshold currently set at $250,000, which
is the inflation adjusted amount determined by the Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and
the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) as authorized by 41 U.S.C. 1908,
must address administrative, contractual, or legal remedies in instances where contractors
violate or breach contract terms, and provide for such sanctions and penalties as appropriate.
2) All contracts in excess of $10,000 must address termination for cause and for convenience
by the non-federal entity including the manner by which it will be affected and the basis for
settlement.
3) Equal Employment Opportunity. Except as otherwise provided under 41 CFR Part 60, all
contracts that meet the definition of “federally assisted construction contract” in 41 CFR Part
60-1.3 must include the equal opportunity clause provided under 41 CFR 60-1.4(b), in
accordance with Executive Order 11246, “Equal Employment Opportunity” (30 FR 12319,
12935, 3 CFR Part, 1964-1965 Comp., p. 339), as amended by Executive Order 11375,
“Amending Executive Order 11246 Relating to Equal Employment Opportunity,” and
implementing regulations at 41 CFR part 60, “Office of Federal Contract Compliance
Programs, Equal Employment Opportunity, Department of Labor.”
4) Davis-Bacon Act, as amended (40 U.S.C. 3141-3148). When required by Federal program
legislation, all prime construction contracts in excess of $2,000 awarded by non-federal
entities must include a provision for compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 3141-
3144, and 3146-3148) as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part
5, “Labor Standards Provisions Applicable to Contracts Covering Federally Financed and
Assisted Construction”). In accordance with the statute, contractors must be required to pay
wages to laborers and mechanics at a rate not less than the prevailing wages specified in a
wage determination made by the Secretary of Labor. In addition, contractors must be
required to pay wages not less than once a week. The non-federal entity must place a copy
of the current prevailing wage determination issued by the Department of Labor in each
solicitation. The decision to award a contract or subcontract must be conditioned upon the
acceptance of the wage determination. The non-federal entity must report all suspected or
reported violations to the federal awarding agency. The contracts must also include a
provision for compliance with the Copeland “Anti-Kickback” Act (40 U.S.C. 3145), as
supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 3, “Contractors and
Subcontractors on Public Building or Public Work Financed in Whole or in Part by Loans or
Grants from the United States”). The Act provides that each contractor or Subrecipient must
be prohibited from inducing, by any means, any person employed in the construction,
completion, or repair of public work, to give up any part of the compensation to which he or
she is otherwise entitled. The non-federal entity must report all suspected or reported
violations to the federal awarding agency.
5) Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 3701-3708). Where applicable,
all contracts awarded by the non-federal entity in excess of $100,000 that involve the
employment of mechanics or laborers must include a provision for compliance with 40 U.S.C.
3702 and 3704, as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 5). Under
40 U.S.C. 3702 of the Act, each contractor must be required to compute the wages of every
AGENDA ITEM #7. d)

the standard work week is permissible provided that the worker is compensated at a rate of
not less than one and a half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40
hours in the work week. The requirements of 40 U.S.C. 3704 are applicable to construction
work and provide that no laborer or mechanic must be required to work in surroundings or
under working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous. These
requirements do not apply to the purchases of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily
available on the open market, or contracts for transportation or transmission of intelligence.
6) Rights to Inventions Made Under a Contract or Agreement. If the federal award meets the
definition of “funding agreement” under 37 CFR §401.2 (a) and the recipient or Subrecipient
wishes to enter into a contract with a small business firm or nonprofit organization regarding
the substitution of parties, assignment or performance of experimental, developmental, or
research work under that “funding agreement,” the recipient or Subrecipient must comply
with the requirements of 37 CFR Part 401, “Rights to Inventions Made by Nonprofit
Organizations and Small Business Firms Under Government Grants, Contracts and
Cooperative Agreements,” and any implementing regulations issued by the awarding agency.

$150,000 must contain a provision that requires the non-federal award to agree to comply
with all applicable standards, orders or regulations issued pursuant to the Clean Air Act (42
U.S.C. 7401-7671q) and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act as amended (33 U.S.C.
1251-1387). Violations must be reported to the federal awarding agency and the Regional
Office of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
8) Debarment and Suspension (Executive Orders 12549 and 12689)—A contract award (see 2
CFR 180.220) must not be made to parties listed on the government-wide exclusions in the
System for Award Management (SAM), in accordance with the OMB guidelines at 2 CFR 180
that implement Executive Orders 12549 (3 CFR part 1986 Comp., p. 189) and 12689 (3 CFR
part 1989 Comp., p. 235), “Debarment and Suspension.” SAM Exclusions contains the
names of parties debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded by agencies, as well as parties
declared ineligible under statutory or regulatory authority other than Executive Order 12549.

exceeding $100,000 must file the required certification. Each tier certifies to the tier above
that it will not and has not used federal appropriated funds to pay any person or organization
for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a member of
Congress, officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a member of Congress in
connection with obtaining any federal contract, grant or any other award covered by 31
U.S.C. 1352. Each tier must also disclose any lobbying with non-federal funds that takes
place in connection with obtaining any federal award. Such disclosures are forwarded from
tier to tier up to the non-federal award.
10) Procurement of recovered materials -- As required by 2 CFR 200.322, a non-federal entity
that is a state agency or agency of a political subdivision of a state and its contractors must
comply with section 6002 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act. The requirements of Section 6002 include procuring only
items designated in guidelines of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at 40 CFR part
247 that contain the highest percentage of recovered materials practicable, consistent with
maintaining a satisfactory level of competition, where the purchase price of the item exceeds
$10,000 or the value of the quantity acquired during the preceding fiscal year exceeded
$10,000; procuring solid waste management services in a manner that maximizes energy
and resource recovery; and establishing an affirmative procurement program for
procurement of recovered materials identified in the EPA guidelines.
11) Notice of awarding agency requirements and regulations pertaining to reporting.
12) Federal awarding agency requirements and regulations pertaining to copyrights and rights in
data.

documents and require the Subrecipient to make changes to bring its plans and documents into
compliance with the requirements of 2 CFR Part 200.318 through 200.326. The Subrecipient
must ensure that its procurement process requires contractors and subcontractors to provide
adequate documentation with sufficient detail to support the costs of the project and to allow both
the Subrecipient and Department to make a determination on eligibility of project costs.
c. All contracting agreements entered into pursuant to this Agreement shall incorporate this
Agreement by reference
A.11 DISCLOSURE
The use or disclosure by any party of any information concerning the Department for any purpose not

consist of a representative appointed by the Department, a representative appointed by the Subrecipient
and a third party mutually agreed upon by both parties. The panel shall, by majority vote, resolve the
dispute. Each party shall bear the cost for its panel member and its attorney fees and costs and share
equally the cost of the third panel member.

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”
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
The Subrecipient must send a completed “2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F Audit Certification Form”
(https://www.mil.wa.gov/emergency-management-division/grants/requiredgrantforms) to the Department
at the address listed above before this Agreement is executed and timely submit annual updates to the
Department every year thereafter, and if the Subrecipient is claiming it is exempt from the audit
requirements of 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F include an explanation of the criteria for exemption.
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.
AGENDA ITEM #7. d)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY 19 Page 18 of 35 City of Renton OEM, E20-174
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 parties intend that an independent contractor relationship will be created by this Agreement. 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 by reason of this Agreement, nor will the Subrecipient make
any claim, demand, or application to or for any right or privilege applicable to an officer or employee of
the Department or of the state of Washington by reason of this Agreement, including, but not limited to,
Workmen's 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.
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 and not by reason of this Agreement.
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
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 by providing ten
(10) calendar days written notice, beginning on the second day after mailing to the Subrecipient. 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 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.
AGENDA ITEM #7. d)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY 19 Page 19 of 35 City of Renton OEM, E20-174
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.33 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.
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.
After receipt of a notice of termination, and except as otherwise directed by the Department in writing,
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;
d. Settle all outstanding liabilities and all claims arising out of such termination of orders and
contracts, with the approval or ratification of the Department to the extent the Department may
require, which approval or ratification shall be final for all the purposes of this clause;
e. Transfer title to the Department and deliver in the manner, at the times, and to the extent directed
by the Department any property which, if the Agreement had been completed, would have been
required to be furnished to the Department;
f. Complete performance of such part of the work as shall not have been terminated by the
Department in compliance with all contractual requirements; and
AGENDA ITEM #7. d)

in WAC 326-30-041.
A.35 VENUE
This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the validity and performance
shall be governed by, the laws of the state of Washington. Venue of any suit between the parties arising
out of this Agreement shall be the Superior Court of Thurston County, Washington. The Subrecipient,
by execution of this Agreement, acknowledges the jurisdiction of the courts of the state of Washington.
A.36 WAIVERS
No conditions or provisions of this Agreement can be waived unless approved in advance by the
Department in writing. The Department's failure to insist upon strict performance of any provision of the
Agreement or to exercise any right based upon a breach thereof, or the acceptance of any performance
during such breach, shall not constitute a waiver of any right under this Agreement.
