2) Items with a current per-unit fair-market value in excess of$5,000 may be retained <br /> or sold. The Subrecipient shall compensate the federal awarding agency in <br /> accordance with the requirements of 2 CFR 200.313 (e) (2). <br /> ix. Records for equipment shall be retained by the Subrecipient for a period of six years from <br /> the date of the disposition, replacement, or transfer. If any litigation, claim, or audit is started <br /> before the expiration of the six-year period, the records shall be retained by the Subrecipient <br /> until all litigation, claims, or audit findings involving the records have been resolved. <br /> b. The Subrecipient shall comply with the Department's Purchase Review Process, which is <br /> incorporated by reference and made part of this Agreement. No reimbursement will be provided <br /> unless the appropriate approval has been received. <br /> c. Allowable categories for 19HSGP are listed on the Authorized Equipment List (AEL) located on <br /> the FEMA website at http://www.fema.gov/authorized-equipment-list. It is important that the <br /> Subrecipient and any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward regard the <br /> AEL as an authorized purchasing list identifying items allowed under the specific grant program <br /> and includes items that may not be categorized as equipment according to the federal, state, <br /> local, and tribal definitions of equipment. The Subrecipient is solely responsible for ensuring and <br /> documenting purchased items under this Agreement are authorized as allowed items by the AEL <br /> at time of purchase. <br /> If the item is not identified on the AEL as allowable under HSGP, the Subrecipient must contact <br /> the Department Key Personnel for assistance in seeking FEMA approval prior to acquisition. <br /> d. Unless expressly provided otherwise, all equipment must meet all mandatory regulatory and/or <br /> DHS/FEMA adopted standards to be eligible for purchase using federal award funds. <br /> e. For OPSG Subrecipients, equipment purchased with DHS federal award funds is to be marked <br /> prominently with "Purchased with DHS funds for Operation Stonegarden Use" when practicable. <br /> f. Procurement of medical countermeasures must be conducted in collaboration with state, city, or <br /> local health departments that administer federal funds from Health and Human Services (HHS) <br /> for this purpose and with existing Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS) committees <br /> where available, to sustain their long-term planning for appropriate, rapid, and local medical <br /> countermeasures, including antibiotics and antidotes for nerve agents, cyanide, and other toxins. <br /> Procurement must have a sound threat-based justification with an aim to reduce the <br /> consequences of mass casualty incidents during the first crucial hours of a response. Prior to <br /> procuring pharmaceuticals, Subrecipients must have in place an inventory management plan to <br /> avoid large periodic variations in supplies due to coinciding purchase and expiration dates. <br /> Subrecipients are encouraged to enter into rotational procurement agreements with vendors and <br /> distributors. Purchases of pharmaceuticals must include a budget for the disposal of expired drugs <br /> within each fiscal year's period of performance for 19HSGP. The cost of disposal cannot be <br /> carried over to another DHS/FEMA grant or grant period. <br /> g. The Subrecipient must pass on equipment and supply management requirements that meet or <br /> exceed the requirements outlined above to any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient <br /> makes a subaward of federal award funds under this Agreement. <br /> 5. ENVIRONMENTAL AND HISTORICAL PRESERVATION <br /> a. The Subrecipient shall ensure full compliance with the DHS/FEMA Environmental Planning and <br /> Historic Preservation (EHP) Program. EHP program information can be found at <br /> https://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/85376 all of which are incorporated in and <br /> made a part of this Agreement. <br /> b. Projects that have historical impacts or the potential to impact the environment, including, but not <br /> limited to, construction of communication towers; modification or renovation of existing buildings, <br /> structures and facilities; or new construction, including replacement of facilities, must participate <br /> in the DHS/FEMA EHP review process prior to project initiation. Modification of existing buildings, <br /> including minimally invasive improvements such as attaching monitors to interior walls, and <br /> training or exercises occurring outside in areas not considered previously disturbed also require <br /> a DHS/FEMA EHP review before project initiation. <br /> DHS-FEMA-HSGP-UASI-FFY19 Page 6 of 38 City of Seattle, E20-095 <br />
