A.7 CERTIFICATION REGARDING DEBARMENT, SUSPENSION, OR INELIGIBILITY
<br /> As federal funds are a basis for this Agreement, the SUBRECIPIENT certifies that the SUBRECIPIENT
<br /> is not presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily
<br /> excluded from participating in this Agreement by any federal department or agency.
<br /> The SUBRECIPIENT shall complete, sign, and return a Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension,
<br /> Ineligibility, and Voluntary Exclusion form located at http://mil.wa.gov/emergency-management-
<br /> divison/grants/requiredgrantforms. Any such form completed by the SUBRECIPIENT for this Agreement
<br /> shall be incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
<br /> Further, the SUBRECIPIENT agrees to comply with all applicable federal regulations concerning the
<br /> federal debarment and suspension system, including 2 CFR Part 180. The SUBRECIPIENT certifies that
<br /> it will ensure that potential sub-contractors or sub-recipients or any of their principals are not debarred,
<br /> suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in
<br /> "covered transactions" by any federal department or agency. "Covered transactions" include
<br /> procurement contracts for goods or services awarded under a non-procurement transaction (e.g. grant
<br /> or cooperative agreement) that are expected to equal or exceed $25,000, and sub-awards to sub-
<br /> recipients for any amount. With respect to covered transactions, the SUBRECIPIENT may comply with
<br /> this provision by obtaining a certification statement from the potential sub-contractor or sub-recipient or
<br /> by checking the System for Award Management (http://www.sam.gov) maintained by the federal government.
<br /> The SUBRECIPIENT also agrees not to enter into any arrangements or contracts with any party on the Washington
<br /> State Department of Labor and Industries' "Debarred Contractor List'
<br /> (http://wvw.lni.wa.gov/TradesLicensinq/PrevWage/AwardingAgencies/DebarredContractors/). The
<br /> SUBRECIPIENT also agrees not to enter into any agreements or contracts for the purchase of goods and services
<br /> with any party on the Department of Enterprise Services' Debarred Vendor List
<br /> (http://www.des.wa.gov/services/ContractingPurchasinq/Business/PagesNendor-Debarment.aspx).
<br /> A.8 CERTIFICATION REGARDING RESTRICTIONS ON LOBBYING
<br /> As required by 44 CFR Part 18, the SUBRECIPIENT hereby certifies that to the best of their knowledge
<br /> and belief: (1) no federally appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid by or on behalf of the
<br /> SUBRECIPIENT to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of an
<br /> agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of
<br /> Congress in connection with the awarding of any federal contract, the making of any federal grant, the
<br /> making of any federal loan, the entering into of any cooperative agreement, and the extension,
<br /> continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of any federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative
<br /> agreement; (2) that if any funds other than federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid to
<br /> any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a Member of
<br /> Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection
<br /> with this Agreement, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement, the SUBRECIPIENT will complete and
<br /> submit Standard Form-LLL, "Disclosure Form to Report Lobbying," in accordance with its instructions;
<br /> (3) and that, as applicable, the SUBRECIPIENT will require that the language of this certification be
<br /> included in the award documents for all subawards at all tiers (including sub-contracts, sub-grants, and
<br /> contracts under grants, loans, and cooperative agreements) and that all sub-recipients shall certify and
<br /> disclose accordingly. This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed
<br /> when this transaction was made or entered into, and is a prerequisite for making or entering into this
<br /> transaction imposed by section 1352, title 31, U.S. Code.
