The parties agree to ail the conditions, obligations, and duties imposed by the FEMA-State Agreement and all applicable State and federal legal requirements including, without any limitation on the generality of the foregoing, the requirements of Title 44 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part(s) 13 and 206, and the policies of the FEMA. The Subgrantee further agrees to comply with the Statement of Assurances attached hereto as Attachment “A.” (3) EUNDING AND INSURANCE. Subject to an advancement of funds by Grantee to the Subgrantee, the Grantee shall otherwise provide funds on a cost reimbursement basis to the Subgrantee for eligible activities approved by the Grantee and FEMA, as specified in the approved Subgrantee Project Worksheets. However, the Grantee’s performance and obligation to pay under this Agreement is contingent upon an appropriation by the State Legislature, subject to any modification in accordance with Chapter 216, Florida Statutes or Florida Constitution, and disbursement shall be consistent with section 252.37, Florida Statutes. The Grantee may provide some portion of any nonfederal share for some subgrantees. As a condition of receipt of the federal funding, the Subgrantee agrees to provide any nonfederal share not paid by the Grantee. The federal allowable costs shall be determined as per 44 CFR Part(s) 13 and 206, which shall be seventy-five (75) percent of all eligible costs unless a higher percentage is approved. A. The approved Project Worksheets shall be transmitted to Subgrantee, and shall state the cumulative funding allowed, the scope of the eligible project, and the costs eligible under this Agreement. Project Worksheets may obligate or deobligate funding, thereby amending the total funding for the project. The approved Project Worksheets shall document the total eligible costs and the total federal share of those costs, which shall be seventy-five percent of all eligible costs, unless a higher percentage is approved. B. As a condition to funding under this Agreement, the Subgrantee agrees that the Grantee may withhold funds otherwise payable to Subgrantee from any disbursement to Grantee upon a determination by Grantee or FEMA that funds exceeding the eligible costs have been disbursed to Subgrantee pursuant to this Agreement or any other funding agreement administered by Grantee. C. Asa further condition to funding under this Agreement, for damaged facilities and pursuant to 44 CFR §§ 206.252-206.253, the Subgrantee shall maintain such types of insurance as are reasonable and necessary to protect against future loss for the anticipated life of the restorative work or the insured facility, whichever is the lesser. (4) DUPLICATION OF BENEFITS PROHIBITION. Subgrantee may not receive funding under this Agreement to pay for damage covered by insurance, nor may Subgrantee receive any other duplicate benefits under this Agreement. A. Without delay, Subgrantee shall advise Grantee of any insurance coverage for the damage identified on the applicable Project Worksheets and of any entitlement to compensation or indemnification from such insurance. All such duplicate benefits are “ineligible costs” which the Subgrantee shall reimburse to the Grantee without delay. The Subgrantee shall also reimburse the Grantee if the Subgrantee receives any duplicate benefits from any other source for any damage identified on the applicable Project Worksheets for which Subgrantee has received payment from Grantee.

Inthe event that Grantee should determine that Subgrantee has received duplicate benefits, by its execution of this Agreement, the Subgrantee gives Grantee or the chief financial officer of the Florida Department of Financial Services the authority to set off the sum of any such duplicate benefits by withholding it from any other funds otherwise due and owing to Subgrantee, or to use such remedies available at law or equity to the repayment of said sums to Grantee. (5) COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING AND PERMITTING LAWS. Subgrantee shall be responsible for the implementation and completion of the approved projects described in the Project Worksheets in a manner acceptable to Grantee, and in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Subgrantee shall create and maintain documentation of work performed and costs incurred on each project identified in a Project Worksheet sufficient to permit a formal audit comporting with ordinary, customary and prudent public accounting requirements. Upon the failure of Subgrantee to create and maintain such documentation, Grantee may terminate further funding under this Agreement, and Subgrantee shall reimburse to Grantee all payments disbursed earlier to Subgrantee, together with any and all accrued interest. A. For all projects, Subgrantee shall state on the "Project Completion and Certification Report" that all work was performed in accordance with this Agreement and the requirements in each Project Worksheet, and shall state the date of completion.
