About this file
This is a Certification Regarding Lobbying form required for the City of New Smyrna Beach's federal contract to elevate six flood-prone homes in Florida, funded through the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. The project involves elevating six single-family homes located in Special Flood Hazard Areas (Zone AE) to 10 feet above existing ground level to protect them from future flood damage following the 100-year storm event. The homes, which currently have finished floor elevations below the Base Flood Elevation established by FEMA, have a history of recurring structural flooding and are classified as being in imminent risk of continued flooding. The project is authorized under HMGP Contract No. 4337-373-R-b and is designed to reduce flood-related damages and eliminate future flood claims for these residences.
The certification document addresses federal lobbying requirements applicable to contracts exceeding $100,000 pursuant to 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix 11(1), 31 U.S.C. 1352, and 44 C.F.R. Part 18. The contractor must certify that no federal appropriated funds have been or will be paid to influence federal officials in connection with the contract award and must disclose any non-federal funds used for lobbying purposes on Standard Form-LLL. The certification applies to all subawards and subrecipients at all tiers, and contractors face civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 for failure to comply. The contractor's authorized official must sign the certification, acknowledging its material nature and confirming submission is a prerequisite for the transaction.
