ARIZONA CRIMINAL JUSTICE COMMISSION
VICTIM COMPENSATION GRANT AGREEMENT
ACJC Grant Number VC-18-056
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number 16.576 (VOCA)
This Grant Agreement is made this first day of July, 2017 by and between the ARIZONA CRIMINAL
JUSTICE COMMISSION hereinafter called “COMMISSION” and MARICOPA COUNTY ATTORNEY'S
OFFICE hereinafter called “GRANTEE”. The COMMISSION enters into this Agreement pursuant to its
authority under the provisions of A.R.S. § 41-2405 (B)(6), and having satisfied itself as to the
qualification of GRANTEE;
NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed between the parties as follows:
1. This Agreement will commence on July 1, 2017 and terminate on June 30, 2018. This Agreement
expires at the end of the award period unless prior written approval for an extension has been
obtained from the COMMISSION. A request for an extension must be received by the
COMMISSION sixty (60) days prior to the end of the award period. The COMMISSION in its sole
discretion may approve an extension that furthers the goals and objectives of the program and
shall determine the length of any extension.
2. GRANTEE agrees that grant funds will be used in accordance with applicable program rules,
guidelines and special conditions.
3. The COMMISSION will monitor GRANTEE performance against program goals and performance
standards and those outlined in the grant application. Substandard performance as determined
by the COMMISSION will constitute noncompliance with this Agreement. If the COMMISSION
finds noncompliance, the GRANTEE will receive a written notice which identifies the area of
noncompliance, and the appropriate corrective action to be taken. If the GRANTEE does not
respond within thirty (30) calendar days to this notice, and does not provide sufficient
information concerning the steps which are being taken to correct the problem, the COMMISSION
may suspend funding, permanently terminate this Agreement or revoke the grant.
4. Any deviation or failure to comply with the purpose and/or conditions of this Agreement without
prior written COMMISSION approval may constitute sufficient reason for the COMMISSION to
terminate this Agreement, revoke the grant, require the return of all unspent funds, perform an
audit of expended funds, and require the return of any previously spent funds which are deemed
to have been spent in violation of the purpose or conditions of this grant.
5. This Agreement may be modified only by a written amendment signed by the Executive Director

provision is exercised, and the COMMISSION shall not be obligated or liable for any future
payments or for any damages as a result of termination under this paragraph.
9. GRANTEE agrees that if it currently has an open award of federal funds or if it receives an award
of federal funds other than this award, and those award funds have been, are being or are to

Maricopa County Attorney's Office ACJC Grant Number VC-18-056S Page 3
be used, in whole or in part, for one or more of the identical cost items for which funds are being
provided under this award, GRANTEE will promptly notify, in writing, the COMMISSION, and if

adjustment notice (GAN) to eliminate any inappropriate duplication of funding.
10. GRANTEE agrees to retain all books, account reports, files and other records, (paper and/or
electronic) relating to this Agreement and the performance of this Agreement for no less than
five (5) years from the last financial report submitted to the COMMISSION. All such documents
shall be subject to inspection and audit at reasonable times, including such records of any
subgrantee, contractor, or subcontractor. GRANTEE also understands and agrees that USDOJ
and the United States General Accounting Office (USGAO) are authorized to interview any officer
or employee of the GRANTEE (or of any subgrantee, contractor, or subcontractor) regarding
transactions related to this award.
11. GRANTEE agrees that activities funded under this award will be closely coordinated with related
activities supported with Office of Justice Programs (OJP), State, local or tribal funds. Grant
funds may only be used for the purposes in the GRANTEE’s approved application. GRANTEE
shall not undertake any work or activities not described in the grant application, including staff,
equipment, or other goods or services without prior approval from the COMMISSION.
12. GRANTEE agrees to track, account for, and report on all funds (including specific outcomes and
benefits) separately from all other funds for the same or similar purposes or programs.
Accordingly, the accounting systems of GRANTEE and all subgrantees must ensure that funds
from this award are not commingled with funds from any other source.
13. GRANTEE agrees to abide by Federal and State laws and provide accounting, auditing and
monitoring procedures to safeguard grant funds and keep such records to assure proper fiscal
controls, management and the efficient disbursement of grant funds.

assets, as defined in 2 C.F.R. 200.12, or expenditures to make additions, improvements,
modifications, replacements, rearrangements, reinstallations, renovations, or alterations to
capital assets that materially increase their value or useful life, with a cost of $5,000 or greater. If
the GRANTEE’s capitalization policy defines a capital expenditure as less than $5,000, the
GRANTEE will follow its own policy.
15. GRANTEE agrees to maintain property records for equipment purchased with grant funds and
perform a physical inventory and reconciliation with property records at least every two years or
more frequently if required by GRANTEE policy. GRANTEE agrees that funds will not be used for
the construction of new facilities.
16. GRANTEE agrees to follow equipment disposition policies outlined in OMB Circulars A-102 or 2
CFR, Part 215 Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements as
codified in (1) 28 CFR, Part 66 or (2) 28 CFR, Part 70 when the equipment is no longer needed

payable to a member of the federal government’s Senior Executive Service (SES) at an agency
with a Certified SES Performance Appraisal System for that year. (An award recipient may
compensate an employee at a higher rate, provided the amount in excess of this compensation
limitation is paid with non-federal funds, unless otherwise noted in the grant solicitation.)
29. GRANTEE agrees not to use grant funds for food and/or beverage unless explicitly approved in
writing by the COMMISSION.
30. GRANTEE agrees to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, policies and guidance (including

events unless explicitly approved in writing by the COMMISSION. Information on pertinent laws,
regulations, policies, and guidance is available in the OJP Financial Guide Conference Cost
Chapter.
31. No funds shall be used to supplant federal, state, county or local funds that would otherwise be
made available for such purposes. Supplanting means the deliberate reduction of state or local
funds because of the existence of any grant funds.
32. GRANTEE assigns to the COMMISSION any claim for overcharges resulting from antitrust
violations to the extent that such violations concern materials or services applied by third parties
to GRANTEE in exchange for grant funds provided under this Agreement.
33. The parties agree to use arbitration in the event of disputes in accordance with the provisions of
A.R.S. § 12-1501-12-1518. The laws of the State of Arizona apply to questions arising under this
Agreement and any litigation regarding this Agreement must be maintained in Arizona courts,
except as pertaining to disputes which are subject to arbitration.
I. In the event of a dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating in any way to
the Agreement, the complaining Party shall notify the other Party in writing
thereof. Within 30 calendar days of such notice, representatives of both Parties shall
meet at an agreed location to attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith. Should the
dispute not be resolved within 30 calendar days after such notice, the complaining
Party shall seek remedies exclusively through arbitration, in accordance with the
provisions of A.R.S. § 12-1501 through 12-1518.
II. The arbitration demand must be a clear and concise statement of the claim or
dispute. The respondent’s answer and any counterclaims must be filed within 20
calendar days of service of the demand.
III. The arbitration shall be conducted in Maricopa County.
IV. The arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator. If the Parties are not able to
agree upon the selection of an arbitrator, within 20 calendar days of the
commencement of an arbitration proceeding by service of a demand for arbitration,
the court on application of a Party shall appoint the arbitrator.
V. The arbitrator must promptly set a conference to clarify the claims and defenses, to
establish fair procedures, and to set a schedule for completing the arbitration.
VI. It is the intent of the parties that, barring extraordinary circumstances, arbitration
proceedings will be concluded with 120 calendar days from the date the arbitrator is
appointed. The arbitrator may extend the time limit in the interests of justice. Failure
to adhere to this time limit shall not constitute a basis for challenging the award.

Maricopa County Attorney's Office ACJC Grant Number VC-18-056S Page 6
VII. The arbitrator must issue a written, reasoned award within 20 calendar days from the
date the hearing is formally closed, or as soon after that as is feasible. The sole
remedy will be actual damages; no punitive damages are allowed.
VIII. Unless the arbitrator orders otherwise, the Parties must share arbitration costs equally,
including arbitrator's fees and expenses. Each party must pay its own expenses and
attorney’s fees.
34. GRANTEE understands that grant funds may not be released until all delinquent reports and
reversion of funds from prior grants are submitted to the COMMISSION.
35. GRANTEE agrees that grant funds are not to be expended for any indirect costs that may be
incurred by GRANTEE for administering these funds unless explicitly approved in writing by the
COMMISSION. This may include, but is not limited to, costs for services such as accounting,
payroll, data processing, purchasing, personnel, and building use which may have been incurred
by the GRANTEE.
36. Each party (as “Indemnitor”) agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other party
(as “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, losses, liability, costs, or expenses,
(including reasonable attorney’s fees) (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Claims”) arising out
of bodily injury of any person (including death) or property damage, but only to the extent that
such Claims which result in vicarious/derivative liability to the Indemnitee are caused by the act,
omission, negligence, misconduct, or other fault of the Indeminitor, its officers, officials, agents,
employees, or volunteers. If the GRANTEE is a State agency, board, commission, or university
of the State of Arizona, this paragraph shall not apply.
37. Should GRANTEE utilize a contractor(s) and subcontractor(s) the indemnification clause between
GRANTEE and its contractor(s) and subcontractor(s) shall include the following:
Contractor shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the GRANTEE and the State of Arizona,
and any jurisdiction or agency issuing any permits for any work arising out of this Agreement,
and its departments, agencies, boards, commissions, universities, officers, officials, agents, and
employees (hereinafter referred to as “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, actions,
liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses (including court costs, attorneys’ fees, and costs of claim
processing, investigation and litigation) (hereinafter referred to as “Claims”) for bodily injury or
personal injury (including death), or loss or damage to tangible or intangible property caused,
or alleged to be caused, in whole or in part, by the negligent or willful acts or omissions of the
contractor or any of the directors, officers, agents, or employees or subcontractors of such
contractor. This indemnity includes any claim or amount arising out of or recovered under the
Workers’ Compensation Law or arising out of the failure of such contractor to conform to any
federal, state or local law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or court decree. It is the specific
intention of the parties that the Indemnitee shall, in all instances, except for Claims arising solely
from the negligent or willful acts or omissions of the Indemnitee, be indemnified by such
contractor from and against any and all claims. It is agreed that such contractor will be
responsible for primary loss investigation, defense and judgment costs where this indemnification
is applicable. Additionally on all applicable insurance policies, contractor and its subcontractors
shall name the State of Arizona, and its departments, agencies, boards, commissions,
universities, officers, officials, agents, and employees as an additional insured and also include
a waiver of subrogation in favor of the State. Insurance requirements for any contractor used by
GRANTEE are incorporated herein by this reference and attached to this Agreement as Exhibit
“A”.

subcontract with any funds under this award, may require any employee or contractor to

waste, fraud, or abuse to an investigative or law enforcement representative of a
federal department or agency authorized to receive such information.

will provide prompt written notification to the federal agency making this award,
and will resume (or permit resumption of) such obligations only if expressly
authorized to do so by that agency.
II. If the GRANTEE does or is authorized under this award to make subawards

or statements from employees or contractors that currently prohibit or
otherwise currently restrict (or purport to prohibit or restrict) employees or
contractors from reporting waste, fraud, or abuse as described above; and
(2) it has made appropriate inquiry, or otherwise has an adequate factual
basis, to support this representation; and

subcontractor entity that receives funds under this award is or has been requiring
its employees or contractors to execute agreements or statements that prohibit
or otherwise restrict (or purport to prohibit or restrict), reporting of waste, fraud,
or abuse as described above, it will immediately stop any further obligations of
award funds to or by that entity, will provide prompt written notification to the
federal agency making this award, and will resume (or permit resumption of)

awards made after FY 2016. GRANTEE or sub-grantee at any tier, must comply with all
applicable restrictions on the use of federal funds set out in federal appropriations
statutes. Should a question arise as to whether a particular use of federal funds by a
GRANTEE would or might fall within the scope of an appropriations-law restriction, the
recipient is to contact OJP for guidance, and may not proceed without the express prior
written approval of OJP. Pertinent restrictions, including from various "general
provisions" in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016

50. GRANTEE agrees to cooperate and participate with any and all assessments, evaluation efforts
or information and data collection requests, and acknowledges that the federal or state grantor
agency has the right to obtain, reproduce, publish or use data provided under this award and
may authorize others to receive and use such information.
51. GRANTEE shall provide the COMMISSION with a copy of all interim and final reports and
proposed publications (including those prepared for conferences and other presentations)
resulting from this Agreement. Submission of such materials must be prior to or simultaneous
with their public release.
52. GRANTEE agrees that any publications (written, visual, or sound) excluding press releases and
newsletters, whether published at the GRANTEE’S or COMMISSION’S expense, shall contain the
following statement:
“This was supported by Award No. 2016-VC-GX-0027 awarded by the Office for Victims of Crime,
Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice. The opinions findings, and conclusions
or recommendations expressed in this publication/program/exhibition are those of the author(s)
and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Department of Justice.”
53. GRANTEE agrees to comply with the non-discrimination requirements of the Omnibus Crime
Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, 42 USC §3789d(c)(1); Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, 42 USC §2000d; Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 USC § 794; Subtitle A,
Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 USC § 12132; Title IX of the Education
Amendments of 1972, 20 USC § 1681; the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, 42 USC § 6102; the
Department of Justice implementing regulations, 28 CFR pt. 42, subpts. C, D, E, G, and I, 28
CFR pt. 35, and 28 CFR pt. 54; all applicable state laws of A.R.S. § 41-1463; and Executive Order
2009-9. The above-referenced federal laws prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color,
religion, sex, disability, and national origin (including limited English proficiency) in the delivery
of services and employment practices, and prohibit discrimination on the basis of age in the
delivery of services. If in the three years prior to the date of the grant award a Federal or State
Court or Federal or State administrative agency makes a finding of discrimination after a due
process hearing against GRANTEE, GRANTEE will forward a copy of the findings to the Office for
Civil Rights, Office of Justice Programs and the COMMISSION.
“Applicants must certify that Limited English Proficiency persons have meaningful access to the
services under this program(s). National origin discrimination includes discrimination on the
basis of limited English proficiency (LEP). To ensure compliance with Title VI and the Safe Street
Act, the applicant is required to take reasonable steps to ensure that LEP persons have
meaningful access to programs. Meaningful access may entail providing language assistance
services, including oral and written translation when necessary.”

54. GRANTEE agrees to comply with the applicable requirements of 28 CFR Part 38, the Department
of Justice regulation governing "Equal Treatment for Faith Based Organizations" (the "Equal
Treatment Regulation"). The Equal Treatment Regulation provides in part that Department of
Justice financial assistance may not be used to fund any inherently religious activities, such as
worship, religious instruction, or proselytization. Recipients of Department of Justice financial
assistance may still engage in inherently religious activities, but such activities must be separate
in time or place from the Department of Justice funded program, and participation in such
activities by individuals receiving services from GRANTEE must be voluntary. The Equal
Treatment Regulation also makes clear that organizations participating in programs receiving
financial assistance from the Department of Justice are not permitted to discriminate in the
provision of services on the basis of a beneficiary’s religion. Notwithstanding any other special
condition of this award, faith-based organizations may, in some circumstances, consider religion
as a basis for employment.

55. Requirements pertaining to prohibited conduct related to trafficking in persons (including
reporting requirements and OJP authority to terminate award)
The GRANTEE or subgrantee at any tier, must comply with all applicable requirements
(including requirements to report allegations) pertaining to prohibited conduct related
to the trafficking of persons, whether on the part of recipients, GRANTEES, or
individuals defined (for purposes of this condition) as "employees" of the recipient or
of any GRANTEE.
The details of the recipient's obligations related to prohibited conduct related to
trafficking in persons are posted on the OJP web site at
http://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/ProhibitedConduct-Trafficking.htm (Award condition:
Prohibited conduct by recipients and GRANEES related to trafficking in persons
(including reporting requirements and OJP authority to terminate award)), and are
incorporated by reference here.
56. GRANTEE should be mindful that the misuse of arrest or conviction records to screen either
applicants for employment or employees for retention or promotion may have a disparate impact
based on race or national origin, resulting in unlawful employment discrimination. As of June
2013 OJP has issued an advisory that grantees should consult local counsel in reviewing their
employment practices. If warranted, grantees should also incorporate an analysis of the use of
