CDBG Revisions to the Budget.  Recipient must obtain written approval from ADOH 
to move funds from one Budget Activity Line Item to another.  The following 
substantial revisions to the Budget require a contract amendment:  
(a)
Funds are moved from one Budget Activity Line Item to another and the change
in the Budget Activity Line from which it is moved or to which it is being moved
exceeds fifty percent (50%), unless the move is from administration to a non-
administration activity, in which case only written notice without a contract
amendment is required;
(b)
Additional funding sources are added to the Project;
(c)
Recipient is requesting a change to the grant terms.
HOME, HOPWA, HPF, NHTF and HTF Revisions to the Budget.  Recipient must 
obtain prior written approval from ADOH to move funds from one Budget Activity 
Line Item to another.  ADOH will only approve changes to the Budget for eligible costs 
as outlined in the State Housing Fund program.  The following substantial revisions to 
the Budget require a contract amendment:  
Contract 538-25

Funding Agreement with 
State of Arizona, Department of Housing 
REV. 07.01.2024 
11 
(a)
Additional funding sources are added to the project which require a project to be
re-underwritten to determine gap;
(b)
Recipient is requesting a change to the loan terms.
HSSF and SFRF Revisions to the Budget.  Recipient must obtain written approval 
from ADOH to move funds from one Budget Activity Line Item to another. ADOH 
will only approve changes to the Budget for eligible costs.  
WEATHERIZATION Revisions to the Budget.  Recipient must obtain written 
approval from ADOH to move funds from one Budget Activity Line Item to another. 
ADOH will only approve changes to the Budget for eligible costs. Administration, 
Technical Assistance and Health and Safety line items cannot be increased unless the 
overall award of funds increases.   
See Section 10 for changes that affect the Budget. 
Recipient shall not retain any funds that are drawn down in excess of immediate cash 
needs (to be utilized within fifteen (15) days of draw down) to cover subsequent requests for 
reimbursement and must return them to ADOH within thirty (30) days of receipt.  Recipient 
must also return to ADOH any interest that is earned on these funds that are drawn down and 
not expended for eligible costs within fifteen (15) days of draw down. 
Section 10.   AMENDMENTS AND MODIFICATIONS 
ADOH may consent to amendment or modification of this Agreement upon written 
request of Recipient.  All amendments or modifications to this Agreement shall be by mutual 
consent of the parties in writing.   
Requests for amendments or modifications that result in changes to the Budget must 
be supported by a revised Budget that is otherwise consistent with Section 9.   
ADOH will respond to the request for amendment or modification to this Agreement 
within fourteen (14) business days.   
Section 11.   ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW CONDITIONS 
In accordance with 24 CFR 50 and 24 CFR 58 (“Environmental Review”), the 
environmental effects of each activity carried out with federal funds must be assessed.  Local 
government entities are responsible for conducting environmental reviews and requesting a 
release of funds from ADOH.  Non-profits and other non-governmental entities are 
responsible for conducting Environmental Reviews before ADOH requests a release of funds 
from HUD.  Completion of the Environmental Review Record (“ERR”) is mandatory before 
taking any physical action on a site or entering into contracts.  Only exempt activities such as 
Contract 538-25

Funding Agreement with 
State of Arizona, Department of Housing 
REV. 07.01.2024 
12 
architecture, engineering and administration may be undertaken and reimbursed by ADOH 
prior to receiving a written release of funds.  Exempt activities described in 24 CFR 58.34(a)(1)-
(11) are activities that generally have no physical impact on the environment.  If federal funds
are involved in a project, neither federal nor non-federal funds may be expended or committed
by contract (conditional or not) for property acquisition, rehabilitation, conversion, lease,
repair or construction activities, until HUD or ADOH has provided written authorization
based on approval of an ERR.
An option agreement (to purchase land) on a proposed site or property is allowable 
prior to the completion of the Environmental Review if the option agreement is contingent 
upon an ADOH or HUD authorization to use funds based on a completed ERR.  The cost of 
the option must be a nominal portion of the purchase price.  
Projects funded solely with Housing Trust Funds do not require an ERR but are 
required to meet the requirements of the State Historic Preservation Act by consulting with 
the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).  For State Housing Funded projects, Phase I 
Environmental Assessments are required to be completed on properties for which new 
construction/change in use is proposed, regardless of whether federal or state funds are the 
source of funding.  Expenditures incurred or obligated by construction contract prior to 
ADOH’s release of funds or consultation with SHPO will not be reimbursed by ADOH.   
Recipients who had committed or expended non-federal funds to begin a project before 
receiving the authorization from ADOH or HUD may still be eligible to use federal funds on 
the project under the following circumstances:  
(a)
Recipients started the project without the intention of using federal assistance (i.e.
as evidenced by other anticipated funding, the original project budget, etc.);
(b)
All work on the project ceases once an application for federal funds is made and
an ERR is begun on all activities (i.e. acquisition, construction, etc.).  ADOH or
HUD provides authorization to proceed based on the completed ERR.
WEATHERIZATION (DOE WAP, DOE WAP BIL, DOE WRF, LIHEAP WAP).  DOE 
has made a final NEPA determination for all activities under this Funding Agreement 
that are listed in the State Plan formally approved by DOE and incorporated into this 
Funding Agreement.  Recipients are responsible for compliance with Section 106 
pursuant to 36 CFR Part 800.2 (c)(4).  
Section 12.   APPLICATION AND OTHER PRE-AWARD COSTS 
Recipient may use a portion of the funds provided hereunder to reimburse itself for 
exempt activities pursuant to 24 CFR 58.34(a)(1)-(11) such as architecture, engineering, testing 
and sampling of asbestos and capital needs assessments and environmental reviews.  
Contract 538-25

CDBG.  If Recipient is receiving funding under this Agreement from the CDBG 
program, in accordance with federal procedures, Recipient may use funds provided 
hereunder to reimburse it or to pay for costs incurred in preparing the application.  In 
no event shall such compensation exceed eighteen percent (18%) of the total funding 
provided to Recipient by ADOH. 
 
Section 13.   COMPENSATION AND METHOD OF PAYMENT 
 
Subject to availability of and receipt of funds from the State’s Unclaimed Property Fund 
(for state HTF funds) and/or the United States Treasury (for HOME, CDBG, COC, NHTF 
HOPWA, HSSF, DOE WAP, DOE WAP BIL, DOE WRF and LIHEAP WAP funds) and the 
commitment of other required funding as indicated in Recipient's application, ADOH agrees 
to reimburse or advance Recipient for authorized expenditures according to the Budget in 
Attachment C.   
 
Recipient must maintain invoices and other similar documentation to support payment 
expenses under those generally accepted accounting principles and procedures approved by 
ADOH and outlined in 2 CFR 200 as applicable; 24 CFR Parts 44, 92 and 570 as applicable; and 
10 CFR 440 and 600 as applicable.   
 
Recipient may request funds only after the date of the executed Agreement and other 
legal documents as applicable, provided Recipient has satisfied ADOH funding contingencies 
and federal Environmental Review conditions.  Requests for reimbursement must be made 
using the ADOH Request for Payment form hereby incorporated into this Agreement and 
attached as Attachment D.  For construction projects, Release of Lien documents must be 
attached to the Request for Payment in amounts proportionate to contractor reimbursement 
requests.  
 
Recipient must maintain proof of said expenditures including checks, payrolls, time 
records, invoices, contracts, vouchers, orders and other accounting documents evidencing in 
proper detail the nature and propriety of the respective charges as may be required by 
applicable federal rules and regulations, including requirements by the Federal Office of 
Management and Budget, and as may be otherwise reasonably required to permit ADOH to 
determine or confirm that any such expenditures are prudent and within the Scope of Work. 
 
Recipient’s right to incur expenses under this Agreement shall cease upon expiration 
of this Agreement.  All requests for reimbursement on expenditures made prior to expiration 
of this Agreement must be requested within sixty (60) days after expiration.  Unless expressly 
authorized by ADOH in writing, expenditures not requested within the sixty (60) day period 
after expiration of this Agreement shall be disallowed and all funds shall be reclaimed by 
ADOH.

Section 14.   FUNDS RECOUPED BY RECIPIENT, INTEREST AND PROGRAM 
INCOME 
14.1 
Definitions.  For purposes of this section, the following definitions shall apply: 
“Funds Recouped by Recipient” means funds initially provided by ADOH to 
Recipient under this Agreement and any matching contributions that are recouped by 
Recipient when: (1) the funds provided by ADOH under this Agreement or matching 
contributions or the proceeds of funds provided by ADOH (including, but not limited to, 
equipment or housing) do not continue to be used for an approved purpose or eligible activity, 
as described in applicable law or regulations, for the full period of affordability required by 
this Agreement; or (2) when a State-assisted homeownership housing does not continue to be 
the principal residence of the assisted homebuyer for the full affordability period required by 
this Agreement.  Funds Recouped by Recipient are subject to all the requirements of Program 
Income described below with the exception that Recipient shall not use Funds Recouped by 
Recipient for administrative purposes.  For this reason, Recipient must separately account for 
all Funds Recouped by Recipient. 
“Interest” means any compensation paid or to be paid for the use or deposit of the 
funds provided by ADOH to Recipient under this Agreement. 
“Program Income” means gross income received by Recipient directly generated from 
the use of funds provided by ADOH under this Agreement.  When Program Income is 
generated by housing that is only partially assisted with funds provided by ADOH under this 
Agreement or matching contributions, the income shall be prorated to reflect the percentage 
of funds provided by ADOH under this Agreement.  Program Income includes, but is not 
limited to, the following: (1) proceeds from the disposition by sale or long-term lease of real 
property purchased or improved with funds provided by ADOH under this Agreement; (2) 
gross income from the use or rental of real or personal property acquired by Recipient with 
funds provided by ADOH under this Agreement, less costs incidental to generation of the 
income; (3) payments of principal and interest on loans made using funds provided by ADOH 
under this Agreement or matching contributions; (4) proceeds from the sale of loans made 
with funds provided by ADOH under this Agreement or matching contributions; (5) proceeds 
from sale of obligations secured by loans made with funds provided by ADOH under this 
Agreement or matching contributions; (6) Interest earned on Program Income pending its 
disposition; (7) proceeds from the disposition of equipment purchased with CDBG funds; (8) 
gross income from the use or rental of real property, owned by Recipient, that was constructed 
or improved with funds provided by ADOH under this Agreement, less costs incidental to 
generation of the income; (9) if the funds provided by ADOH under this Agreement are from 
the CDBG Program, funds collected through special assessments made against properties 
owned and occupied by households not of low and moderate income, where the assessments 
are used to recover all or part of the CDBG portion of a public improvement; and (10) if the 
funds provided by ADOH under this Agreement are from the HOME Program, any other

interest or return on the investment permitted under 24 C.F.R. Part 92.205(b) of HOME funds 
or matching contributions. 
 
14.2 
Use of Program Income and Funds Recouped by Recipient.   
 
Recipient is not authorized by ADOH to retain and reuse Program Income, Funds 
Recouped by Recipient or accrued Interest as described in the following paragraph(s) except 
as authorized by ADOH through a written agreement. 
 
Recipient must return all Program Income, Funds Recouped by Recipient and Interest 
to ADOH within thirty (30) days of receipt. 
 
Recipient must remit to ADOH any Program Income, Funds Recouped by Recipient or 
Interest on hand at the time of expiration, cancellation, or termination of this Agreement or 
subsequently received by Recipient within thirty (30) days of receipt by Recipient.   
 
Section 15.    DE-OBLIGATION, RECAPTURE AND REPAYMENT OF FUNDS 
 
15.1 
De-obligation.  ADOH may reduce funds from the funding award evidenced 
by this Agreement without regard to the source of funding, under the following circumstances: 
(1) Recipient has completed performance under the Scope of Work (Attachment A) without

ADOH may de-obligate funds under this Agreement under the foregoing circumstances upon 
written notice to Recipient.   
 
15.2 
Reallocation of De-obligated HOME or State HTF Funds.  If the funds 
provided by ADOH under this Agreement are from the State HTF or the HOME Program, 
ADOH may reallocate funds that it has de-obligated under this Agreement as it determines in 
its sole discretion.  
 
15.3 
Reallocation of De-obligated CDBG Funds.  If the funds provided by ADOH 
under this Agreement are from the CDBG Program, ADOH may reallocate funds that it has 
de-obligated under this Agreement to Recipient from which the funds were de-obligated for 
use under an existing or new funding contract of the same funding year if Recipient can 
immediately commit the reallocated funds to a project and execute a new or amended funding 
contract within sixty (60) calendar days of the reallocation.  If ADOH is not able to reallocate 
funds that it has de-obligated under this Agreement in accordance with the foregoing sentence 
of this subsection, ADOH may reallocate those funds as it determines in its sole discretion.

contract if ADOH determines that Recipient has failed to use the funds provided by ADOH 
under this Agreement in compliance with the terms of this Agreement or the requirements of 
applicable laws and regulations.  ADOH may specify in writing the terms of the repayment or 
alternative terms in lieu of repayment; however, in no case shall repayment or alternative

CFR Part 570.208 until five (5) years after expiration of this Agreement, or for such longer 
period of time as determined to be appropriate by Recipient; or (2) not be used in accordance 
with 24 CFR Part 570.503(b)(8)(i), in which event Recipient shall pay to ADOH an amount

performance under this Agreement.  A summary of discrepancies noted by ADOH during 
monitoring visits will be specified in writing.  Appropriate time for correction of discrepancies 
will be specified in the written report to Recipient.  ADOH shall follow up on discrepancies to 
ensure that they have been corrected in a timely manner.  The failure of ADOH to require 
timely performance of any provision of this Agreement shall in no way affect the right of 
ADOH thereafter to enforce such provision nor shall the waiver of any succeeding breach of 
such provision act as waiver of the provision itself. 
ADOH shall provide reasonable technical assistance to assist Recipient to comply with 
program requirements for the provision of services under this Agreement.  However, this in 
no way relieves Recipient of full responsibility for its acts or omissions in the performance of 
activities required by this Agreement.  
Section 18.   SUBCONTRACTING 
Recipient shall not disburse any funds received under this Agreement without fully 
completed written agreements with subcontractors requiring they follow all provisions of this 
Agreement and a completed Environmental Review pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement. 
The use of subcontractors does not relieve Recipient of responsibility for ensuring the 
administration of the provided funds in accordance with all applicable program requirements. 
Recipient is responsible for determining the adequacy of performance under subcontractor 
agreements and procurement contracts and for taking appropriate action when performance 
issues arise. 
Section 19.   FAILURE TO MAKE PROGRESS 
Contract 538-25

Funding Agreement with 
State of Arizona, Department of Housing 
REV. 07.01.2024 
18 
Failure of Recipient to make progress according to the Schedule of Completion, 
attached hereto as Attachment B may result in contract termination, de-obligation of funds or 
recapture of funds.  Recipient agrees to meet with ADOH at the site in which the funded 
activity is taking place to discuss progress and allow ADOH to provide technical assistance if: 
(a)
Recipient fails to begin work on its Environmental Review pursuant to Section 11
within the sixty (60) calendar days from the date ADOH executes this Agreement;
(b)
Recipient fails to expend any funds in performance of and in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement within ninety (90) calendar days from the inception date
of this Agreement.
ADOH will terminate any Agreement and recapture funds from the same Agreement in which 
Recipient does not commence any of the activities described in the Scope of Work (Attachment 
A) or fails to expend any funds in accordance with the Budget (Attachment C) within 180
calendar days from the full execution date of this Agreement.  ADOH may in its sole 
discretion, forgo providing technical assistance and recapture funds as outlined in this 
Agreement under Section 15.4 hereof and/or terminate this Agreement for cause pursuant to 
Section 20 of this Agreement.   
Section 20.   TERMINATION FOR CAUSE

determines that Recipient has failed to comply with the conditions hereof including, but not 
limited to the Scope of Work set forth in Attachment A, Schedule of Completion set forth in 
Attachment B and Budget set forth in Attachment C to this Agreement.  If ADOH so 
determines, it shall notify Recipient in writing by certified mail, return receipt requested, of 
such termination for cause with such notification to include the reason(s) for the termination 
and the effective date of termination.  If ADOH terminates this Agreement pursuant to this 
Section, ADOH shall recapture all funds allocated to Recipient under this Agreement pursuant 
to Section 15.4 hereof and obtain repayment of funds expended pursuant to Section 15.6, 
hereof. 
Section 21.   TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE 
ADOH or Recipient may terminate this Agreement in whole or part (one (1) or more 
activities) if either party believes that continuation will not produce beneficial results.  If 
ADOH so determines, it shall notify Recipient in writing by certified mail, return receipt 
requested, of such termination for convenience and the effective date of termination.  If 
Recipient so determines, it shall notify ADOH in writing by certified mail, return receipt 
requested, of such termination for convenience and the effective date of termination.  If ADOH

from obligations incurred by Recipient during a suspension or after termination of an award 
are not allowable unless ADOH expressly authorizes them in the notice of suspension or 
termination or subsequently.  
22.4 
Relationship to debarment and suspension.  The enforcement remedies 
identified in this section, including suspension and termination, do not preclude Recipient 
from being subject to “Debarment and Suspension” under the United States President’s 
Executive Order 12549.  
Section 23.   CANCELLATION 
Pursuant to A.R.S. § 38-511, ADOH may, within three (3) years after its execution, 
cancel this Agreement, without penalty or further obligation, if any person significantly 
involved in initiating, negotiating, securing, drafting or creating this Agreement on behalf of 
ADOH, at any time while this Agreement or any extension of this Agreement is in effect, is or 
becomes an employee or agent of any other party to this Agreement in any capacity or a 
consultant to any party of this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of the contract.  A 
cancellation notice made pursuant to this provision shall be effective when Recipient receives

reports regarding the capture and reuse of Program Income and Recaptured Funds as 
requested by ADOH from time to time. 
In addition, in the event that the project resulted in Recipient holding any liens or notes 
as a result of this funding, Recipient must retain all pertinent records for five (5) years beyond 
the expiration or release of such liens or notes. 
Section 25.   NO OBLIGATION OF STATE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS FUNDS 
Nothing herein shall be construed as obligating state general appropriation funds, 
excepting HTF funds or HSSF funds per S.B. 1720, for payment of any debt or liability of any 
nature arising hereunder.  The parties expressly recognize that all payments to be made by 
ADOH are from federal funds, HTF and HSSF funds made available to ADOH for this 
purpose. 
Section 26.   AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS 
Payments under this Agreement are subject to the availability of the federal funds

BIL, DOE WRF, LIHEAP, CCSNF and SFRF programs, the availability of state funds provided 
for the state HTF, HPF and HSSF Programs and the availability of private funds provided for 
the SWG WAP, APS WAP and SRP WAP programs.  Every payment obligation of ADOH 
under this Agreement is conditioned upon the availability of funds appropriated or allocated 
for the payment of such obligation.  If funds are not allocated and available for the continuance 
of this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated by ADOH at the end of the period for 
which funds are available.  No liability shall accrue to ADOH in the event this provision is 
exercised, and ADOH shall not be obligated or liable for any future payments or for any 
damages as a result of termination under this paragraph. 
Section 27.   APPLICABLE LAW AND ARBITRATION 
This Agreement shall be governed and interpreted by the laws of the State of Arizona.

its agents, officials and employees from any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, 
proceedings, loss, costs and damages of every kind and description, including any attorney’s 
fees and litigation expenses, which may be brought or made against or incurred by the State 
on account of loss of or damage to any property or for injuries to or death of any person, caused

with or incidental to the performance of this Agreement, or arising out of Workmen’s 
Compensation claims, Unemployment Compensation claims or Unemployment Disability 
Compensation claims of employees of Recipient or its subcontractors or claims under similar 
such laws or obligations.  Recipient’s obligation under this section shall not extend to any 
liability caused by the sole negligence of ADOH, the State of Arizona or its employees. 
Section 29.   FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LIABILITY

Scope of Work 
Summary:  
The Arizona Department of Housing (ADOH) has set aside approximately $5 million in State 
Housing Trust Funds (HTF) as flexible funding to further the reach of existing housing stability 
and homelessness prevention under its Preventing Housing Insecurity Notice of Funding 
Availability (NOFA). The goal of this program is to expand prevention activities, including 
flexible funding, to qualified households (defined below) ‘at risk’ of homelessness but who are 
able to demonstrate the ability to maintain housing after the one-time assistance.  
Maricopa County Human Services Department, Recipient, has been awarded $892,248.00 in 
HTF to administer this Preventing Housing Insecurity Flexible Funds (PHIFF) program, in 
Maricopa County. Funds will be used for direct financial assistance and administration of the 
program. These funds will allow Maricopa County to serve a minimum of 401 eligible individuals 
at or below 80% AMI during its period of performance. 
Financial assistance must be for the purpose of participants obtaining or retaining housing and/or 
eliminate barriers in obtaining or retaining housing. Verification of existing housing status is 
required and must be documented appropriately. Recipient must use progressive engagement 
to ensure that the least amount of funds possible are being used to prevent the household from 
losing their housing.  Recipient will assess and triage need and other eligible resources using 
these flexible funds as an option of last resort. The use of these funds is limited to a one-time 
payment per household of no more than $3,000 paid on behalf of the program participant to the 
landlord, utility company, etc., and are not be used for ongoing assistance.  
Recipient will provide case management components in its program design. These voluntary 
services can include education, coaching, negotiation with vendors (landlords), budgeting and 
financial management, legal referrals. Recipient will provide post-funding follow up at 3, 6, or 
12 months via text, in person, virtual, and/or telephonic to determine the client’s housing status, 
the impact of the funding and the need for additional connection to other programs. 
Term: 
The term of this Agreement shall be for one year, unless otherwise amended in accordance 
with the terms of this Agreement, beginning July 01, 2024 and ending December 31, 2025.

Certification A:  Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, and
Other Responsibility Matters - Primary Covered Transactions
1. The prospective primary participant certifies to the best of its knowl-
edge and belief that its principals;
a. Are not presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment,
declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from covered transactions
by any Federal debarment or agency;
b. Have not within a three-year period preceding this proposal,
been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for
commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtain-
ing, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (Federal, State, or
local) transaction or contract under a public transaction; violation of
Federal or State antitrust statutes or commission of embezzlement, theft,
forgery, bribery, falsification, or destruction of records, making false
statements, or receiving stolen property;
c. Are not presently indicted for or otherwise criminally or civilly
charged by a governmental entity (Federal, State, or local) with
commission of any of the offenses enumerated in paragraph (1)(b) of
this certification; and
d. Have not within a three-year period preceding this application/
proposal had one or more public transactions (Federal, State, or local)
terminated for cause or default.
2. Where the prospective primary participant is unable to certify to
any of the statements in this certification, such prospective participant
shall attach an explanation to this proposal.
Instructions for Certification (A)
1. By signing and submitting this proposal, the prospective primary
participant is providing the certification set out below.
2. The inability of a person to provide the certification required below
will not necessarily result in denial of participation in this covered
transaction.  The prospective participant shall submit an explanation
of why it cannot provide the certification set out below.  The certifi-
cation or explanation will be considered in connection with the
department or agency’s determination whether to enter into this
transaction.  However, failure of the prospective primary participant to
furnish a certification or an explanation shall disqualify such person
from participation in this transaction.
3. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact
upon which reliance was place when the department or agency deter-
mined to enter into this transaction.  If it is later determined that the
prospective primary participant knowingly rendered an erroneous
certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal
Government, the department or agency may terminate this transaction
for cause of default.
4. The prospective primary participant shall provide immediate writ-
ten notice to the department or agency to whom this proposal is
submitted if at any time the prospective primary participant learns that
its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become errone-
ous by reason of changed circumstances.
5. The terms covered transaction, debarred, suspended, ineligible,
lower tier covered transaction, participant, person, primary cov-
ered transaction, principal, proposal, and voluntarily excluded, as
used in this clause, have the meanings set out in the Definitions and
Coverage sections of the rules implementing Executive Order 12549.
You may contact the department or agency to which this proposal is
being submitted for assistance in obtaining a copy of these regulations.
6. The prospective primary participant agrees by submitting this
proposal that, should the proposed covered transaction be entered into,
it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier covered transaction
with a person who is debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or
voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction,
unless authorized by the department or agency entering into this
transaction.
7. The prospective primary participant further agrees by submitting
this proposal that it will include the clause titled “Certification
Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclu-
sion - Lower Tier Covered Transaction,” provided by the department
or agency entering into this covered transaction, without modification,
in all lower tier covered transactions and in all solicitations for lower
tier covered transactions.
8. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification
of a prospective participant in a lower tier covered transaction that it
is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the
covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous.
A participant may decide the method and frequency by which it
determines this eligibility of its principals.  Each participant may, but
is not required to, check the Nonprocurement List.
9. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require
establishment of a system of records in order to render in good faith the
certification required by this clause.  The knowledge and information
of a participant is not required to exceed that which is normally
possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business
dealings.
10.
Except for transactions authorized under paragraph (6) of these
instructions, if a participant in a covered transaction knowingly enters
into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is suspended,
debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this
transaction, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal
Government, the department or agency may terminate this transaction
for cause of default.

suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily
excluded from participation in this transaction by any Federal depart-
ment or agency.
2. Where the prospective lower tier participant is unable to certify to
any of the statements in this certification, such prospective participant
shall attach an explanation to this proposal.
Instructions for Certification (B)
1. By signing and submitting this proposal, the prospective lower tier
participant is providing the certification set out below.
2. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact
upon which reliance was placed when this transaction was entered into.
If it is later determined that the prospective lower tier participant
knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other
remedies available to the Federal Government, the department or
agency with which this transaction originated may pursue available
remedies, including suspension and/or debarment.
3. The prospective lower tier participant shall provide immediate
written notice to the person to which this proposal is submitted if at any
time the prospective lower tier participant learns that its certification
was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of
changed circumstances.
4. The terms covered transaction, debarred, suspended, ineligible,
lower tier covered transaction, participant, person, primary cov-
ered transaction, principal, proposal, and voluntarily excluded, as

tance in obtaining a copy of these regulations.

of a prospective participant in a lower tier covered transaction that it
is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the
covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous.
A participant may decide the method and frequency by which it
determines the eligibility of its principals.  Each participant may, but
is not required to, check the Nonprocurement List.
8. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require

certification required by this clause.  The knowledge and information
of a participant is not required to exceed that which is normally
possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business
dealings.
9. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph (5) of these
instructions, if a participant in a lower covered transaction knowingly
enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is
suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from partici-
pation in this transaction, in addition to other remedies available to the
Federal Government, the department or agency with which this trans-
action originated may pursue available remedies including suspension
