Exhibit A - 1 Exhibit "A" Scope of Services, Time of Performance, Budget, Payment, Notices, and Representatives I. Scope of Service A. Activities/Project Description The Subrecipient will be responsible for administering the program as described in the Basic Provisions in a manner satisfactory to the City and consistent with any standards required as a condition of providing these funds. Such program will include activities eligible under the Community Development Block Grant Program and incorporated into the award managed in AmpliFund, the City’s online Grant Management Software program for grant management, payment submission, accomplishment tracking, and additional responsibilities from the Subrecipient as needed for City monitoring. B. National Objectives The Subrecipient certifies that the activities carried out with funds provided under this Agreement will meet the following CDBG National Objective, as identified by the City of Everett, ”Benefit low/moderate income persons” - as defined in 24 CFR Part 570.208. C. Grant Management Software A. The City has contracted with a third party, AmpliFund, for online grant management. AmpliFund is the formal portal for primary submission of grant materials to the City. The City agrees to maintain appropriate licensing and software during the Project Period for ongoing use of grant management with AmpliFund. B. Subrecipient agrees to maintain an active user registration for the subrecipient award portal and take all other actions necessary for Subrecipient to implement this Agreement and the Project with AmpliFund. If Subrecipient does not comply with this for any reason, the City may refuse to pay Pay Requests until the Subrecipient is in full compliance. All items for reimbursement, including but not limited to Expense Reporting and Pay Requests with supporting backup documentation, must be submitted through AmpliFund. The Subrecipient is responsible for identifying a Recipient Grant Manager, also known as the “Recipient Manager”, who is responsible for submitting Pay Requests on behalf of the organization, and responsible to add additional users as needed. The City reserves the right to collect proof of authority for the Recipient Grant Manager to submit Pay Requests, budget amendments, and other fiduciary tasks related to the use of the Subrecipient award in AmpliFund. C. The City cannot access Subrecipient accounts in AmpliFund and is not responsible for Subrecipient user portal roles and/or registration. If Subrecipient encounters problems using AmpliFund, Subrecipient must refer all questions to AmpliFund. The City will not provide service support for Subrecipient ’s AmpliFund use; that is the sole responsibility of Subrecipient.
