G. DRAFT AGREEMENT

The County’s contract with the successful Offeror(s) will be based upon the County’s Standard Purchase Order Terms and Conditions, located at https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/dam/sdc/purchasing/docs/dpc_terms_and_conditions.pdf as well as the following Additional Federal Provisions:

ADDITIONAL FEDERAL PROVISIONS

1. Audit. Contractors that expend $750,000 or more of federal grant funds per year shall have an audit conducted in compliance with Government Auditing Standards, which includes Single Audit Act Amendments and the Compliance Supplement (2 CFR part 200 App. XI). Contractors that are commercial organizations (for-profit) are required to have a non-federal audit if, during its fiscal year, it expended a total of $750,000 or more under one or more HHS awards. 45 CFR part 74.26(d) incorporates the threshold and deadlines of the Compliance Supplement but provides for-profit organizations two options regarding the type of audit that will satisfy the audit requirements. Contractor shall include a clause in any agreement entered into with an audit firm, or notify the audit firm in writing prior to the audit firm commencing its work for Contractor, that the audit firm shall, pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 7503, and to the extent otherwise required by law, provide access by the federal government or other legally required entity to the independent auditor’s working papers that were part of the independent auditor’s audit of Contractor. Contractor shall submit two (2) copies of the annual audit report, the audit performed in accordance with the Compliance Supplement, and the management letter to the County fifteen (15) days after receipt from the independent Certified Public Accountant but no later than nine (9) months after the Contractor’s fiscal year end.

2. Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment. In accordance with 31 U.S.C. 1352 and related regulations, (a) Contractor certifies, and shall require each lower-tier recipient (as that term is defined in 31 U.S.C. 1352) to certify 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 covered Federal contract, grant or any other award covered by 31 U.S.C. 1352, and (b) Contractor shall disclose, and shall require each lower-tier recipient to disclose to the tier above, any lobbying with non-Federal funds that takes place in connection with obtaining any covered Federal award.

3. Clean Air Act and Federal Water Pollution Control Act. For contracts exceeding $150,000, Contractor agrees that in addition to Contractor’s responsibilities under section 12.15 of this Agreement, Contractor shall:

3.1. report each violation to the County (and understands and agrees that the County will, in turn, report each violation as required to assure notification to the appropriate federal agency) and the appropriate Environmental Protection Agency Regional Office; and

3.2. include this requirement in each subcontract exceeding $150,000 financed in whole or in part with federal assistance.

4. Debarment and Suspension.

4.1. This Agreement is a covered transaction for purposes of 2 C.F.R. pt. 180 and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000. As such, the Contractor is required to verify that none of the Contractor’s principals (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.995) or its affiliates (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.905) are excluded (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.940) or disqualified (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.935).

4.2. The Contractor must comply with 2 C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000, subpart C, and must include a requirement to comply with these regulations in any lower tier covered transaction it enters into.

4.3. This certification is a material representation of fact relied upon by County. If it is later determined that the Contractor did not comply with 2 C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000, subpart C, in addition to remedies available to County, the Federal Government may pursue available remedies, including but not limited to suspension and/or debarment.

5. Contracting with Small Businesses, Minority Businesses, Women’s Business Enterprises, Veteran-Owned Businesses, and Labor Surplus Area Firms. When possible, Contractor should ensure, in accordance with 2 C.F.R. § 200.321 “Contracting with small businesses, minority businesses, women’s business enterprises, veteran-owned businesses, and labor surplus area firms,” that small businesses, minority businesses, women’s business enterprises, veteran-owned businesses, and labor surplus area firms are considered for work under the Agreement by:

5.1. Including such businesses on solicitation lists;

5.2. Soliciting such businesses whenever they are deemed eligible as potential sources;
