23. AGREEMENT WITH US ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY TO ADMINISTER STATE CLEAN DIESEL GRANT PROGRAM Approve an Agreement between the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and Maricopa County through the Air Quality Department (MCAQD) in the not-to-exceed amount of $372,072. This agreement is funded by a grant from the USEPA, Award ID# 99T63001, which increases the MCAQD federal funding by $372,072. This agreement is retroactively effective from October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2018. The FY 2018 Air Quality composite indirect rate of 31.3% will be applied to the direct charges of $75,518. The contract with the Grantor allows a recoverable indirect cost of administering this grant of $23,522; the non-recoverable indirect cost is $115 due to a calculation error during the application process. An amount of up to $272,917 from this award will be passed through to a sub awardee(s) for vehicle replacement or retrofit during the grant period from October 1, 2017 and September 30, 2018. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore expenditures of these revenues are not prohibited by the budget law. This Agreement is funded with Federal Funds, CFDA# 66.040 State Clean Diesel Grant Program. (C-85-18-009-M-00)
