This document is a grant agreement between the Department of Financial Services and the City of Edgewater for the Firefighter Cancer Decontamination Equipment Grant Program. The grant is part of the Florida Legislature's initiative to provide financial assistance to career fire departments, combination fire departments, and volunteer fire departments for procuring equipment, supplies, and training designed to mitigate exposure to hazardous, cancer-causing chemicals. The agreement covers the 2022-2023 fiscal year, with the Department of Financial Services establishing a funding award of up to $24,195.00 for the City of Edgewater. The specific authorized expenditure is for one vehicle exhaust capture system, which must be purchased and fully utilized on or before the last day of the State's fiscal year.

The grant requires the City of Edgewater to provide a minimum 25% match of non-state funding and comply with specific performance requirements, including maintaining fire department profile and roster records, submitting incident reports to the Florida Fire Incident Reporting System, and adhering to occupational health and safety regulations. Reimbursement will be provided on a cost-reimbursement basis, with funds paid upon submission of invoices, receipts, and supporting documentation demonstrating compliance with the grant's terms and conditions. The agreement stipulates that the grantee must follow strict guidelines for equipment procurement, use, and potential disposition, and includes provisions for potential termination if performance requirements are not met or funds are not used as intended.
