Ensure Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBEs)are made aware of contracting opportunities to the fullest extent practicable through outreach and recruitment activities_For Indian Tribal, State and Local and Government Sponsors,this will include placing DBEs on solicitation lists and soliciting them whenever they are potential sources. RCO 16-1764C Revision Date: 1/11/2018 Page 31 of 37 2. Make information on forthcoming opportunities available to DBEs and arrange time frames for contracts and establish delivery schedules,where the requirements permit, in a way that encourages and facilitates participation by DBEs in the competitive process.This includes, whenever possible, posting solicitations for bids or proposals for a minimum of 30 calendar days before the bid or proposal closing date. 3. Consider in the contracting process whether firms competing for large contracts could subcontract with DBEs. For Indian Tribal, State and local Government Sponsors, this will include dividing total requirements when economically feasible into smaller tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by DBEs in the competitive process. 4. Encourage contracting with a consortium of DBEs when an agreement is too large for one of these firms to handle individually. 5. Use the services and assistance of the Small Business Administration (SBA)and the Minority Business Development of the Department of Commerce. 6. If the Sponsor awards subcontracts, require the Sponsor to take the steps in paragraphs (a) through (e)of this section. M. Lobbying &Litigation. By signing this Agreement,the Sponsor certifies that none of the funds received from this Agreement shall be used to engage in the lobbying of the Federal Government or in litigation against the United States unless authorized under existing law. The chief executive officer of this Sponsor agency shall ensure that no grant funds awarded under this Agreement are used to engage in lobbying of the Federal Government or in litigation against the United States unless authorized under existing law.The Sponsor shall abide by its respective Attachment in 2 C.F.R. Part 200,which prohibits the use of federal grant funds for litigation against the United States or for lobbying or other political activities. For subawards exceeding$100,000, EPA requires the following certification and disclosure forms: 1.

SF LLL: http://www.epa.gov/ogd/AppKit/form/sflllin_sec_pdf 3. Legal expenses required in the administration of Federal programs are allowable. Legal expenses for prosecution of claims against the Federal Government are unallowable. N. Payment to Consultants. EPA participation in the salary rate (excluding overhead) paid to individual consultants retained by recipients(Sponsors) or by a recipients'(Sponsor's)contractors or subcontractors shall be limited to the maximum daily rate for Level IV of the Executive Schedule (formerly GS-18), to be adjusted annually.This limit applies to consultation services of designated individuals with specialized skills who are paid at a daily or hourly rate. This rate does not include transportation and subsistence costs for travel performed (the recipient will pay these in accordance with his/her normal travel reimbursement practices). Subagreements with firms for services that are awarded using the procurement requirements in 40 C.F.R. Parts 30 or 31, are not affected by this limitation unless the terms of the contract provide the recipient(Sponsor)with responsibility for the selection, direction and control of the individual who will be providing services under the contract at an hourly or daily rate of compensation.

However, the remedy of specific performance shall not be the sole or exclusive remedy available to RCO. No remedy available to the funding board or RCO shall be deemed exclusive. The funding board or RCO may elect to exercise any,a combination of, or all of the remedies available to it under this Agreement, or under any provision of law, common law, or equity, including but not limited to seeking full or partial repayment of the grant amount paid and damages. SECTION 41. TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION The funding board and RCO will require strict compliance by the Sponsor with all the terms of this Agreement including, but not limited to,the requirements of the applicable statutes, rules and all funding board and RCO policies, and with the representations of the Sponsor in its application for a grant as finally approved by the funding board. For federal awards, notification of termination will comply with 2 C.F.R.§200.340. A. For Cause. 1. The funding board or the director may suspend or terminate the obligation to provide funding to the Sponsor under this Agreement: a.

The rights and remedies of RCO provided in this Agreement are not exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law. 2. In the event this Agreement is terminated by the funding board or director,after any portion of the grant amount has been paid to the Sponsor under this Agreement,the funding board or director may require that any amount paid be repaid to RCO for redeposit into the account from which the funds were derived. However,any repayment shall be limited to the extent it would be inequitable and represent a manifest injustice in circumstances where the project will fulfill its fundamental purpose for substantially the entire period of performance and of long-term obligation. D. Non Availability of Funds.The obligation of the RCO to make payments is contingent on the availability of state and federal funds through legislative appropriation and state allotment. If amounts sufficient to fund the grant made under this Agreement are not appropriated to RCO for expenditure for this Agreement in any biennial fiscal period, RCO shall not be obligated to pay any remaining unpaid portion of this grant unless and until the necessary action by the Legislature or the Office of Financial Management occurs. If RCO participation is suspended under this section for a continuous period of one year, RCO's obligation to provide any future funding under this Agreement shall terminate. Termination of the Agreement under this section is not subject to appeal by the Sponsor. 1. Suspension:The obligation of the RCO to manage contract terms and make payments is contingent upon the state appropriating state and federal funding each biennium. In the event the state is unable to appropriate such funds by the first day of each new biennium RCO reserves the right to suspend the Agreement,with ten(10)days written notice, until such time funds are appropriated. Suspension will mean all work related to the contract must cease until such time funds are obligated to RCO and the RCO provides notice to continue work. SECTION 42.
