34. 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 $525,392. This agreement is funded by a grant from the USEPA, Award ID# 98T26201, which increases the MCAQD federal funding by $525,392 dated September 27, 2021. The grant award is reoccurring and has been awarded to the department since 2016. The cash or in-kind match is not applicable, indirect cost is fully recoverable, ongoing cash contributions not applicable. The grant award is not a mandated function but provides a benefit to the citizens by supporting grant, rebate, and loan programs which are designed to achieve significant reductions in diesel emissions. The grant award is non-competitively bid. There are no costs that will need to be absorbed by the department’s operating budget. The Agreement is effective from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2023. Project budgets are applied annually. All other terms and conditions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect. The Department's FY2021 authorized indirect cost rate at time of application was 21.11%. All indirect costs are allowable and fully recoverable. Indirect costs will be applied to the County retained, direct cost amount of $97,997; recoverable indirect costs are $20,687. An amount of up to $406,707 from this award will be passed through to a sub awardee(s) for vehicle replacement or retrofit during the state grant period from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022. 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. A budget adjustment is not required. This Agreement is funded with Federal Funds, CFDA# 66.040 State Clean Diesel Grant Program (B). (C-85-22-020-X-00)
