The Subrecipient shall complete, sign, and return a Certification Regarding Debarment,
<br /> Suspension, Ineligibility, and Voluntary Exclusion form located at
<br /> http://mil.wa.gov/emergency-management-division/grants/requiredgrantforms. Any such
<br /> form completed by the Subrecipient for this Agreement shall be incorporated into this
<br /> Agreement by reference.
<br /> Further, the Subrecipient agrees to comply with all applicable federal regulations
<br /> concerning the federal debarment and suspension system, including 2 CFR Part 180. The
<br /> Subrecipient certifies that it will ensure that potential contractors or subrecipients or any
<br /> of their principals are not debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared
<br /> ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in "covered transactions" by any
<br /> federal department or agency. "Covered transactions" include procurement contracts for
<br /> goods or services awarded under a non-procurement transaction (e.g. grant or
<br /> cooperative agreement) that are expected to equal or exceed $25,000, and subawards to
<br /> subrecipients for any amount. With respect to covered transactions, the Subrecipient may
<br /> comply with this provision by obtaining a certification statement from the potential
<br /> contractor or subrecipient or by checking the System for Award Management
<br /> (http://www.sam.gov) maintained by the federal government. The Subrecipient also
<br /> 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://www.lni.wa.qov/TradesLicensinq/PrevWaqe/AwardingAgencies/DebarredContract
<br /> ors/). The Subrecipient also agrees not to enter into any agreements or contracts for the
<br /> purchase of goods and services with any party on the Department of Enterprise Services'
<br /> Debarred Vendor List
<br /> (http://www.des.wa.gov/services/ContractingPurchasinq/Business/PagesNendor-
<br /> 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 its
<br /> knowledge and belief: (1) no federally appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid
<br /> by or on behalf of the Subrecipient to any person for influencing or attempting to influence
<br /> an officer or employee of an agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of
<br /> Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection with the awarding of
<br /> any federal contract, the making of any federal grant, the making of any federal loan, the
<br /> entering into of any cooperative agreement, and the extension, continuation, renewal,
<br /> amendment, or modification of any federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement;
<br /> (2) that if any funds other than federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid
<br /> to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any
<br /> agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a
<br /> Member of Congress in connection with this Agreement, grant, loan, or cooperative
<br /> agreement, the Subrecipient will complete and submit Standard Form-LLL, "Disclosure
<br /> Form to Report Lobbying," in accordance with its instructions; (3) and that, as applicable,
<br /> the Subrecipient will require that the language of this certification be included in the award
<br /> documents for all subawards at all tiers(including sub-contracts, sub-grants, and contracts
<br /> under grants, loans, and cooperative agreements) and that all subrecipients shall certify
<br /> and disclose accordingly. This certification is a material representation of fact upon which
<br /> reliance was placed when this transaction was made or entered into, and is a prerequisite
<br /> for making or entering into this transaction imposed by section 1352, title 31, U.S. Code.
<br /> A.9 CONFLICT OF INTEREST
<br /> No officer or employee of the County; no member, officer, or employee of the Subrecipient
<br /> or its designees or agents; no member of the governing body of the jurisdiction in which
<br /> the project is undertaken or located; and no other official of the Subrecipient who exercises
<br /> any functions or responsibilities with respect to the project during his or her tenure, shall
<br /> have any personal or pecuniary gain or interest, direct or indirect, in any contract,
<br /> subcontract, or the proceeds thereof, for work to be performed in connection with the
<br /> project assisted under this Agreement.
