About this file
This document is a Pre-Award Risk Questionnaire for Subrecipients under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021, issued by Harris County's Department of the Treasury. The form is designed to assess an organization's capacity and readiness to receive federal grant funding, with the goal of determining any necessary conditions or assistance for a potential sub-agreement. Organizations must provide comprehensive details about their performance history, management systems, personnel, financial stability, and prior experience managing federal funds.
The questionnaire covers multiple critical areas of organizational assessment, including previous federal award history, revenue sources, management system changes, staff transitions, capacity to manage federal regulations, internal control systems, audit reports, and financial stability. Key evaluation points include whether the organization has received federal awards in the past five years, manages grant funds from various entities, has experienced key staff changes, can implement federal regulations like 2 CFR 200, maintains appropriate internal controls, and has a stable accounting system. The form helps Harris County determine the risk level and potential support needed for organizations seeking ARPA subrecipient funding, with no predetermined answers that would automatically disqualify an organization from consideration.
