F. RECORDS AND INFORMATION RELEASE
1. Records Compliance. DEO is subject to the provisions of chapter 119, F.S., relating to public
records. Any document Grantee submits to DEO under this Agreement may constitute public
records under the Florida Statutes. Grantee shall cooperate with DEO regarding DEO's efforts
to comply with the requirements of chapter 119, F.S. Grantee shall respond to requests to
inspect or copy such records in accordance with chapter 119, F.S. for records made or received
by Grantee in connection with this Agreement. Grantee shall immediately notify DEO of the
receipt and content of any request by sending an e-mail to PRReguest@deo.myflorida.com
within one business day after receipt of such request. Grantee shall indemnify, defend, and
hold DEO harmless from any violation of Florida's public records laws wherein DEO's
disclosure or nondisclosure of any public record was predicated upon any act or omission of
Grantee. As applicable, Grantee shall comply with Section 501.171, F.S. DEO may terminate
this Agreement if Grantee fails to comply with Florida's public records laws. Grantee shall
allow public access to all records made or received by Grantee in connection with this

or s. 119.07(1), F.S.
2. Identification of Records. Grantee shall clearly and conspicuously mark all records submitted
to DEO if such records are confidential and exempt from public disclosure. Grantee's failure
to clearly mark each record and identify the legal basis for each exemption from the
requirements of chapter 119, F.S., prior to delivery of the record to DEO serves as Grantee's
waiver of a claim of exemption. Grantee shall ensure that public records that are exempt or
confidential and exempt from public records disclosure requirements are not disclosed except
as authorized by law for as long as those records are confidential and exempt pursuant to
Florida law. If DEO's claim of exemption asserted in response to Grantee's assertion of
confidentiality is challenged in any court of law, Grantee shall defend, assume, and be
responsible for all fees, costs, and expenses in connection with such challenge.
3. Keeping and Providing Records. DEO and the State have an absolute right to view, inspect,
or make or request copies of any records arising out of or related to this Agreement. The
Grantee has an absolute duty to keep and maintain all records arising out of or related to this
Agreement. DEO may request copies of any records made or received in connection with this
Agreement, or arising out of Grantees use of Award Funds, and Grantee shall provide DEO
with copies of any records within 10 business days after DEO's request at no cost to DEO.
Grantee shall maintain all books, records, and documents in accordance with generally
accepted accounting procedures and practices which sufficiently and properly reflect all

expenditures of Award Funds. For avoidance of doubt, Grantee's duties to keep and provide
records to DEO includes all records generated in connection with or as a result of this
Agreement. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Grantee shall transfer, at
no cost, to DEO all public records in possession of Grantee or keep and maintain public records
required by DEO to perform the service. If the Grantee keeps and maintains public records

retaining public records. All records stored electronically must be provided to DEO, upon
request from DEO's custodian of records, in a format that is compatible with the information
technology systems of DEO.

due directly to acts of God, wars, acts of public enemies, strikes, fires, floods, or other similar
cause wholly beyond the Party's control, or for any of the foregoing that affects

of delay from the foregoing causes, the Party shall take all reasonable measures to mitigate
any and all resulting delay or disruption in the Party's performance obligation under this

in the Agreement price or payment of any kind from DEO for direct, indirect, consequential,

costs incurred during the Agreement Period by Grantee in carrying out the Project.
B. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, an itemized invoice for each deliverable

electronic mail of DEO's determination that the deliverable is sufficient and is accepted or that the
deliverable is not sufficient to satisfy the requirements in the Scope of Work and how the Grantee can
address the insufficiency. If DEO determines that a deliverable is not sufficient under this Agreement,
Grantee shall have 10 business days from the date of receipt of notice from DEO to correct the
insufficiency, and during this 10 business day period, the financial consequences specified in Section
12 of this Scope of Work will not be assessed. DEO may extend this timeframe in writing (which may
be by electronic mail) if Grantee is actively working with DEO to resolve the insufficiency; provided,
however, that any extension of time under this section will not extend the Agreement Period in
Section A. of this Agreement and provided further that, notwithstanding the timeframes in this
section, all deliverables and tasks must be completed on or before the end of the Agreement Period
in Section A of this Agreement. An extension of time under this section does not require an
amendment to this Agreement. Payment for a deliverable shall not be due until DEO notifies the
Grantee's Agreement Manager in writing that the deliverable or corrected deliverable is sufficient
under the Scope of Work and is accepted by DEO.
12. FINANCIAL CONSEQUENCES.
A. Financial consequences of $50 a business day up to a maximum of $500 shall be imposed in each
of the following circumstances:
1. Grantee submits a deliverable to DEO more than ten (10) business days after the
deliverable due date. Financial consequences begin to accrue on the eleventh business
day following the deliverable due date and continue until the deliverable is received by
DEO or the maximum financial consequence accrues, whichever occurs first.
2. Grantee is given a notice of insufficiency and fails to submit to DEO a corrected deliverable
within the timeframe provided in Section 11 of this Scope of Work. Financial
consequences begin to accrue on the business day following the deadline under Section
11 of this Scope of Work and continue until the corrected deliverable is received by DEO
or the maximum financial consequence accrues, whichever occurs first.
B. Imposition of the above described financial consequences shall in no manner affect DEO's right
to impose or implement other provisions in this Agreement including the right to terminate this
Agreement.
13. PRELIMINARY DRAFT DELIVERABLES; DEO REVIEW AND COMMENT. Preliminary draft deliverables
of proposed or adopted comprehensive plan amendments are required to be provided to DEO for
comment prior to the deliverable due date as provided in Section 3. of this Scope of Work. Unless
other preliminary draft deliverables are required to be submitted to DEO under Section 3 of this Scope
of Work, above, Grantee is encouraged, but not required, to submit preliminary drafts of all
substantive written deliverables (e.g., master plans, studies, reports) to DEO for review and comment
no later than ten (10) business days before the deliverable due date. If DEO provides comments,
Grantee is urged to address them in the deliverable submitted to DEO for payment. If submission of
a preliminary draft deliverable for DEO review and comment is required under Section 3 of this Scope
of Work, above, DEO shall provide comments to the Grantee no later than four business days before
the deliverable due date and the deliverable must address DEO's comments.

14. LIMITED COMPLIANCE REVIEW; NO DUPLICATION OF WRITTEN MATERIAL. Proposed
comprehensive plan amendments that are deliverables under the Scope of Work must be "in
compliance" as defined in Section 163.3184(1)(b), F.S., and will be evaluated for compliance as part
of DEO's review and determination of whether the deliverable is sufficient to satisfy the requirements
in the Scope of Work. DEO's compliance determination will be a limited determination without input
from the reviewing agencies identified in Section 163.3184(1)(c), F.S. A limited compliance
determination for the purpose of this Agreement is not binding on DEO in a subsequent review under
Section 163.3184, F.S. Further, a limited compliance determination under this Agreement does not
preclude review and comment by reviewing agencies and does not preclude a challenge to the
adopted plan amendment by DEO based on comments by DEO or other reviewing agencies.
Documents submitted to DEO for payment under this Agreement may not copy or duplicate reports
or other written material prepared prior to the Agreement Period in Section A., Agreement Period,
of this Agreement or prepared by or on behalf of someone other than the Grantee for a purpose other
than the specific grant project identified in this Scope of Work. At the option of the Grantee, copies
of such relevant documents may be appended to documents submitted to DEO for payment.
15. EXTENSIONS OF TIME OF DELIVERABLE DUE DATES. Notwithstanding Section D., Renegotiation or
Modification, of this Agreement, DEO's Agreement Manager, in DEO's sole discretion, may authorize
extensions of deliverable due dates without a written modification of this Agreement. Extensions
shall be requested by Grantee's Agreement Manager (not Grantee's consultant or subcontractor) in
accordance with the following:
A. Requests for extension of one or more deliverable due dates shall be submitted by Grantee's
Agreement Manager in writing (which may be by electronic mail) to DEO's Agreement Manager
no later than one (1) business day before the deliverable due date (or the earliest of multiple
due dates for which the extension is requested);
B. A request for an extension of time received by DEO's Agreement Manager on or after the
deliverable due date to which the extension applies will not be granted;
C. If requested by DEO's Agreement Manager, Grantee's Agreement Manager must explain the
reason for the requested extension; and
D. DEO's Agreement Manager shall approve or deny a request for extension of a deliverable due
date by electronic mail to Grantee's Agreement Manager within two (2) business days after
receipt of the request. Only written approvals of extensions shall be effective.
This authority and procedure do not apply to an extension of the Agreement Period defined in Section
A., Agreement Period, of this Agreement.
16. ADVERTISING AND INFORMATION RELEASE. Notwithstanding Section J., Advertising and
Sponsorship Disclosure, and Section F., Records and Information Release, of this Agreement,
Grantee is authorized to disclose to the public on its website or by other means that it has been
awarded a Community Planning Technical Assistance Grant from DEO for the work described in this
Scope of Work.

activities shall be reported to DEO's Agreement Manager in writing within twenty-four (24)
chronological hours.
18. NON-DISCRIMINATION. Grantee shall not discriminate unlawfully against any individual employed in
the performance of this Agreement because of race, religion, color, sex, physical handicap unrelated
to such person's ability to engage in this work, national origin, ancestry, or age. Grantee shall provide
a harassment -free workplace, with any allegation of harassment to be given priority attention and
action.
19. GRANTEE'S RESPONSIBILITIES UPON TERMINATION. If DEO issues a Notice of Termination to
Grantee, except as otherwise specified by DEO in that notice, the Grantee shall:
A. Stop work under this Agreement on the date and to the extent specified in the notice;
B. Complete performance of such part of the work as shall not have been terminated by DEO;
C. Take such action as may be necessary, or as DEO may specify, to protect and preserve any
property which is in the possession of Grantee and in which DEO has or may acquire an interest;
and
D. Upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement, Grantee shall transfer, assign, and make
available to the DEO all property and materials belonging to DEO. No extra compensation will be
paid to Grantee for its services in connection with such transfer or assignment.
20. CONFLICTS BETWEEN SCOPE OF WORK AND REMAINDER OF AGREEMENT. In the event of a conflict
between the provisions of this Scope of Work and other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions
of this Scope of Work shall govern.

Attachment 2
AUDIT REQUIREMENTS
The administration of resources awarded by DEO to the recipient (herein otherwise referred to as
"Grantee") may be subject to audits and/or monitoring by DEO as described in this Attachment.
MONITORING. In addition to reviews of audits conducted in accordance with 2 CFR 200, Subpart F -Audit
Requirements, and Section 215.97, Florida Statutes (F.S.), as revised (see AUDITS below), monitoring
procedures may include, but not be limited to, on-site visits by DEO staff, limited scope audits as defined
by 2 CFR §200.425, or other procedures. By entering into this agreement, the recipient agrees to comply
and cooperate with any monitoring procedures or processes deemed appropriate by DEO. In the event
the DEO determines that a limited scope audit of the recipient is appropriate, the recipient agrees to
comply with any additional instructions provided by DEO staff to the recipient regarding such audit. The
recipient further agrees to comply and cooperate with anyinspections, reviews, investigations, or audits
deemed necessary by the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) or Auditor General.
AUDITS.
PART I: FEDERALLY FUNDED. This part is applicable if the recipient is a state or local government or a
nonprofit organization as defined in 2 CFR §200.90, §200.64, and §200.70.
1. A recipient that expends $750,000 or more in federal awards in its fiscal year must have a single
or program -specific audit conducted in accordance with the provisions of 2 CFR 200, Subpart F -
Audit Requirements. EXHIBIT 1 to this form lists the federal resources awarded through DEO by
this agreement. In determining the federal awards expended in its fiscal year, the recipient shall
consider all sources of federal awards, including federal resources received from DEO. The
determination of amounts of federal awards expended should be in accordance with the
guidelines established in 2 CFR §§200.502-503. An audit of the recipient conducted by the
Auditor General in accordance with the provisions of 2 CFR §200.514 will meet the requirements
of this Part.
2. For the audit requirements addressed in Part I, paragraph 1, the recipient shall fulfill the
requirements relative to auditee responsibilities as provided in 2 CFR §§200.508-512.
3. A recipient that expends less than $750,000 in federal awards in its fiscal year is not required to
have an audit conducted in accordance with the provisions of 2 CFR 200, Subpart F - Audit
Requirements. If the recipient expends less than $750,000 in federal awards in its fiscal year and
elects to have an audit conducted in accordance with the provisions of 2 CFR 200, Subpart F -
Audit Requirements, the cost of the audit must be paid from non-federal resources (i.e., the cost
of such an audit must be paid from recipient resources obtained from other than federal
entities).
PART 11: STATE FUNDED. This part is applicable if the recipient is a nonstate entity as defined by Section
215.97(2), Florida Statutes.
9. In the event that the recipient expends a total amount of state financial assistance equal to or in
excess of $750,000 in any fiscal year of such recipient (for fiscal years ending June 30, 2017, and
thereafter), the recipient must have a state single or project -specific audit for such fiscal year in
accordance with Section 215.97, F.S.; Rule Chapter 691-5, F.A.C., State Financial Assistance; and
Chapters 10.550 (local governmental entities) and 10.650 (nonprofit and for-profit

organizations), Rules of the Auditor General. EXHIBIT 1 to this form lists the state financial
assistance awarded through DEO by this agreement. In determining the state financial
assistance expended in its fiscal year, the recipient shall consider all sources of state financial
assistance, including state financial assistance received from DEO, other state agencies, and
other nonstate entities. State financial assistance does not include federal direct or pass-
through awards and resources received by a nonstate entity for federal program matching
requirements.
2. For the audit requirements addressed in Part 11, paragraph 1, the recipient shall ensure that the
audit complies with the requirements of Section 215.97(8), F.S. This includes submission of a
financial reporting package as defined by Section 215.97(2), F.S., and Chapters 10.550 (local
governmental entities) and 10.650 (nonprofit and for-profit organizations), Rules of the Auditor
General.
3. If the recipient expends less than $750,000 in state financial assistance in its fiscal year (forfiscal
years ending June 30, 2017, and thereafter), an audit conducted in accordance with the
provisions of Section 215.97, F.S., is not required. If the recipient expends less than $750,000 in
state financial assistance in its fiscal year and elects to have an audit conducted in accordance
with the provisions of Section 215.97, F.S., the cost of the audit must be paid from the nonstate
entity's resources (i.e., the cost of such an audit must be paid from the recipient's resources
obtained from other than state entities).
PART III: OTHER AUDIT REQUIREMENTS.
(NOTE: This part would be used to specify any additional audit requirements imposed by the State
awarding entity that are solely a matter of that State awarding entity's policy (i.e., the audit is not required
by Federal or State laws and is not in conflict with other Federal or State audit requirements). Pursuant to
Section 215.97(8), Florida Statutes, State agencies may conduct or arrange for audits of state financial
assistance that are in addition to audits conducted in accordance with Section 215.97, Florida Statutes. In
such an event, the State awarding agency must arrange for funding the full cost of such additional audits.)
