Administrative Conditions
General Terms and Conditions
The recipient agrees to comply with the current EPA general terms and conditions available at:
https://www.epa.gov/grants/epa-general-terms-and-conditions-effective-october-1-2018 .
These terms and conditions are in addition to the assurances and certifications made as a part of
the award and the terms, conditions, or restrictions cited throughout the award.
The EPA repository for the general terms and conditions by year can be found at
https://www.epa.gov/grants/grant-terms-and-conditions#general
A. Federal Financial Reporting (FFR)
For awards with cumulative project and budget periods greater than 12 months, the recipient will
submit an annual FFR (SF 425) covering the period from "project/budget period start date" to
September 30 of each calendar year to the U.S. EPA Las Vegas Finance Center (LVFC). The FFR will be
submitted electronically to lvfc-grants@epa.gov no later than December 31 of the same calendar year.
The form with instructions can be found on LVFC’s website at https://www.epa.gov/financial/grants.
The recipient shall identify non-federal, non-recurrent expenditures in Block 12 (Remarks) of the FFR or
include the information as an attachment to the FFR on a separate page. The recipient also agrees to
include a statement certifying that supplanting did not occur.
B. Procurement
The recipient will ensure all procurement transactions will be conducted in a manner providing full and
open competition consistent with 2 CFR Part 200.319. In accordance 2 CFR Part 200.323 the grantee
and subgrantee(s) must perform a cost or price analysis in connection with applicable procurement
actions, including contract modifications.
State recipients must follow procurement procedures as outlined in 2 CFR Part 200.317.
C. Six Good Faith Efforts 40 CFR Part 33, Subpart C
Pursuant to 40 CFR Section 33.301, the recipient agrees to make the following good faith efforts
whenever procuring construction, equipment, services and supplies under an EPA financial assistance
agreement, and to require that sub-recipients, loan recipients, and prime contractors also comply.
Records documenting compliance with the six good faith efforts shall be retained:
(a) Ensure 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
recipients, this will include placing DBEs on solicitation lists and soliciting them whenever they are
potential sources.
(b) 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.
(c) Consider in the contracting process whether firms competing for large contracts could
subcontract with DBEs. For Indian Tribal, State and local Government recipients, this will include

dividing total requirements when economically feasible into smaller tasks or quantities to permit
maximum participation by DBEs in the competitive process.
(d) Encourage contracting with a consortium of DBEs when a contract is too large for one of these
firms to handle individually.
(e) Use the services and assistance of the SBA and the Minority Business Development Agency of
the Department of Commerce.
(f) If the prime contractor awards subcontracts, require the prime contractor to take the steps in
paragraphs (a) through (e) of this section.
D. Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises
General Compliance, 40 CFR Part 33
The recipient agrees to comply with the requirements of EPA’s Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE)
Program for procurement activities under assistance agreements, contained in 40 CFR Part 33.
Fair Share Objectives, 40 CFR Part 33, Subpart D
A recipient must negotiate with the appropriate EPA award official, or his/her designee, fair share
objectives for MBE and WBE participation in procurement under the financial assistance agreements.
In accordance with 40 CFR Section 33.411 some recipients may be exempt from the fair share objective
requirements as described in 40 CFR Part 33, Subpart D. Recipients should work with their DBE
coordinator if they think their organization may qualify for an exemption.
The dollar amount of this assistance agreement, or the total dollar amount of all of the recipient’s
financial assistance agreements in the current federal fiscal year from EPA, exceeds the Simplified
Acquisition Threshold as defined by the Federal Acquisition Regulation. The recipient accepts the
applicable MBE/WBE fair share objectives/goals negotiated with EPA by the Arizona Department of
Environmental Quality (ADEQ), as follows:
MBE WBE
Construction 01% 01%
Equipment 10% 10%
Services 01% 01%
Supplies 01% 01%
The recipient accepts the fair share objectives/goals stated above and attests to the fact that it is
purchasing the same or similar construction, supplies, services and equipment, in the same or similar
relevant geographic buying market as ADEQ.
Negotiating Fair Share Objectives/Goals, Section 33.404
The recipient has the option to negotiate its own MBE/WBE fair share objectives/goals. If the recipient
wishes to negotiate its own MBE/WBE fair share objectives/goals, the recipient agrees to submit
proposed MBE/WBE objectives/goals based on an availability analysis, or disparity study, of qualified
MBEs and WBEs in their relevant geographic buying market for construction, services, supplies and
equipment.
The submission of proposed fair share goals with the supporting analysis or disparity study means that
the recipient is not accepting the fair share objectives/goals of another recipient. The recipient agrees
to submit proposed fair share objectives/goals, together with the supporting availability analysis or
disparity study, to the Regional MBE/WBE Coordinator, Elizabeth Armour at Armour.Elizabeth@epa.gov
, within 120 days of its acceptance of the financial assistance award. EPA will respond to the proposed

fair share objective/goals within 30 days of receiving the submission. If proposed fair share
objective/goals are not received within the 120-day time frame, the recipient may not expend its EPA
funds for procurements until the proposed fair share objective/goals are submitted.
Contract Administration Provisions, 40 CFR Section 33.302
The recipient agrees to comply with the contract administration provisions of 40 CFR Section 33.302.
Bidders List, 40 CFR Section 33.501(b) and (c)
Recipients of a Continuing Environmental Program Grant or other annual reporting grant, agree to
create and maintain a bidders list. Recipients of an EPA financial assistance agreement to capitalize a
revolving loan fund also agree to require entities receiving identified loans to create and maintain a
bidders list if the recipient of the loan is subject to, or chooses to follow, competitive bidding
requirements. Please see 40 CFR Section 33.501 (b) and (c) for specific requirements and exemptions.
E. MBE/WBE Reporting – Non-Reporting Condition
General Compliance, 40 CFR, Part 33, Subpart E – Non-Reporting Condition
MBE/WBE reports are required annually for the life of the grant. Reporting is required for assistance
agreements where there are funds budgeted for procuring construction, equipment, services and
supplies, including funds budgeted for direct procurement by the recipient or procurement under
subawards or loans in the “Other” category, that exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold as defined
by the Federal Acquisition Regulation, including amendments and/or modifications.
Based on EPA’s review of the planned budget, this award does not meet the conditions above and is not
subject to Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program reporting requirements. However, if
during the performance of the award the total of all funds expended for direct procurement by the
recipient and procurement under subawards or loans in the “Other” category exceeds the Simplified
Acquisition Threshold, annual reports will be required and you are required to notify your EPA grant
specialist for additional instructions.
The recipient also agrees to request prior approval from EPA for procurements that may activate DBE
Program reporting requirements.
This provision represents an approved deviation from the MBE/WBE reporting requirements as
described in 40 CFR Part 33, Section 33.502; however, the other requirements outlined in 40 CFR Part
33 remain in effect, including the Good Faith Effort requirements as described in 40 CFR Part 33,
Subpart C, and Fair Share Objectives negotiation as described in 40 CFR Part 33, Subpart D.
F. Cost-Share Requirement and Maintenance of Effort
The required minimum recipient cost share for this assistance agreement is 40% of total project costs,
or Maintenance of Effort (MOE) level of $8,682,701 (final MOE for FY-2018), whichever is greater. The
assistance agreement may reflect a percentage shown under the "Notice of Award" section which is
based on estimated costs requested in the recipient's application.
Programmatic Conditions
a.] PERFORMANCE REPORTING AND FINAL PERFORMANCE REPORT
Performance Reports – Content
In accordance with 2 CFR 200.328, the recipient agrees to submit performance reports that include brief
information on each of the following areas: 1) A comparison of actual accomplishments to the
outputs/outcomes established in the assistance agreement work plan for the period; 2) The reasons
why established outputs/outcomes were not met; and 3) Additional pertinent information, including,
when appropriate, analysis and explanation of cost overruns or high-unit costs.

Additionally, the recipient agrees to inform EPA as soon as problems, delays, or adverse conditions
which will materially impair the ability to meet the outputs/outcomes specified in the assistance
agreement work plan are known.
For State Categorical Program Grants Only: Interim performance and final progress reports must
prominently display the three Essential Elements for state work plans: (1) Strategic Plan Goal; (2)

(See Grants Policy Issuance 11-03 State Grant Workplans and Progress Reports for more information)
Performance Reports - Frequency
Semi-annual performance reports are required to be submitted electronically to the EPA Project Officer
within 30 days after the reporting period (every six-month period). The recipient also agrees to submit
annual performance reports electronically to the EPA Project Officer within 90 days after the annual
reporting period ends on 9/30/2019. The final project report is due within 90 days of the
budget/project period end date.
b.] VERIFICATION OF ANNUAL RECURRING MAINTENANCE OF EFFORT (MOE).
In accordance with Section 105 of the Clean Air Act, a Recipient's MOE must meet or exceed its prior
year's MOE level. As required by General Term and Condition 14, the Recipient shall submit a final
Federal Financial Report (FFR), Standard Form 425 (SF-425), to EPA no later than 90 calendar days after
the end of the budget period. The form is available on the internet at
http://www.epa.gov/ocfo/finservices/forms.htm. All FFRs must be submitted to the Las Vegas Finance
Center (LVFC) via email LVFC-grants@epa.gov or mail it to:
USEPA LVFC 4220 S. Maryland Pkwy Bldg. C, Suite 503 Las Vegas, NV 89119
An electronic copy should also be sent to the EPA Project Officer. Included with the annual FFR must be
an analysis of the recipient’s recurrent and non-recurrent expenditures. If such analysis is unavailable
for the current period, as authorized by the statutory authority, the recipient may provide such totals
for the prior year.
c.] QUALITY ASSURANCE
This grant includes the performance of environmental measurements; therefore, Quality Assurance
Planning Documents are required. Quality Assurance Project Plans for NOx, SOx, CO, ozone and PM2.5
monitoring were approved by Maricopa County Air Quality Department on July 14, 2011. EPA provided
comments to Maricopa County AQD on 4/2/2019. These Quality Assurance Plans have reached their
five-year lifetime and Maricopa County AQD needs to revise the QA plants accordingly. Work may
continue under the existing approved QA Plans until the new ones have been approved. The Maricopa
County Air Quality Department’s QMP was approved on January 6, 2014, and needs to be revised during
the grant period.
d.] COMPETENCY OF ORGANIZATIONS GENERATING ENVIRONMENTAL MEASUREMENT DATA
In accordance with Agency Policy Directive Number FEM-2012-02, Policy to Assure the Competency of
Organizations Generating Environmental Measurement Data under Agency-Funded Assistance
Agreements, Recipient agrees, by entering into this agreement, that it has demonstrated competency
prior to award, or alternatively, where a pre-award demonstration of competency is not practicable,
Recipient agrees to demonstrate competency prior to carrying out any activities under the award
involving the generation or use of environmental data. Recipient shall maintain competency for the
duration of the project period of this agreement and this will be documented during the annual
reporting process. A copy of the Policy is available online at
https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2015-03/documents/competency-policy-aaia-new.pdf or a
copy may also be requested by contacting the EPA Project Officer for this award.

e.] CYBERSECURITY
(a) The recipient agrees that when collecting and managing environmental data under this
assistance agreement, it will protect the data by following all State or Tribal law cybersecurity
requirements as applicable.
(b)(1) EPA must ensure that any connections between the recipient’s network or information
system and EPA networks used by the recipient to transfer data under this agreement, are secure.
For purposes of this Section, a connection is defined as a dedicated persistent interface between an
Agency IT system and an external IT system for the purpose of transferring information. Transitory,
user-controlled connections such as website browsing are excluded from this definition.
If the recipient’s connections as defined above do not go through the Environmental Information
Exchange Network or EPA’s Central Data Exchange, the recipient agrees to contact the EPA Project
Officer (PO) no later than 90 days after the date of this award and work with the designated
Regional/Headquarters Information Security Officer to ensure that the connections meet EPA
security requirements, including entering into Interconnection Service Agreements as appropriate.
This condition does not apply to manual entry of data by the recipient into systems operated and
used by EPA’s regulatory programs for the submission of reporting and/or compliance data.
(b)(2) The recipient agrees that any subawards it makes under this agreement will require the
subrecipient to comply with the requirements in (b)(1) if the subrecipient’s network or information
system is connected to EPA networks to transfer data to the Agency using systems other than the
Environmental Information Exchange Network or EPA’s Central Data Exchange. The recipient will be
in compliance with this condition: by including this requirement in subaward agreements; and
during subrecipient monitoring deemed necessary by the recipient under 2 CFR 200.331(d), by
inquiring whether the subrecipient has contacted the EPA Project Officer. Nothing in this condition
requires the recipient to contact the EPA Project Officer on behalf of a subrecipient or to be
involved in the negotiation of an Interconnection Service Agreement between the subrecipient and
EPA.
