The SUBRECIPIENT shall comply with all applicable state and federal laws, rules, regulations, requirements
and program guidance identified or referenced in this Agreement and the informational documents published
by FEMA applicable to the Presidential Declaration including, but not limited to, all criteria, restrictions, and
requirements of the "FEMA State Agreement" published by FEMA and the federal regulations commonly
applicable to FEMA grants, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. The Presidential Declaration and
the FEMA State Agreement are incorporated in this Agreement by reference.
The SUBRECIPIENT shall comply with the Washington State Public Assistance Applicant Manual dated March
22, 2020 incorporated in this Agreement as Attachment 4. The DHS Standard Terms and Conditions are
incorporated by reference in this Agreement in Appendix F of the Washington State Public Assistance
Applicant Manual dated March 22, 2020.
The SUBRECIPIENT acknowledges that since this Agreement involves federal award funding, the period of
performance described herein may begin prior to the availability of appropriated federal funds. The
SUBRECIPIENT agrees that it will not hold the DEPARTMENT, the State of Washington, or the United States
liable for any damages, claim for reimbursement, or any type of payment whatsoever for services performed
under this Agreement prior to distribution of appropriated federal funds, or if federal funds are not appropriated
or in a particular amount.
Federal funding is provided by FEMA and is administered by the DEPARTMENT. Under the authority of
Presidential Disaster Declaration number FEMA-4481-DR-WA, the DEPARTMENT is reimbursing the
SUBRECIPIENT for those approved eligible costs and activities necessary under the Public Assistance Grant
Program during the incident period beginning January 20, 2020 and continuing. Eligible costs and activities
will be identified in Project Worksheets approved by FEMA and a Project Worksheet Sample is incorporated as
Attachment 3. The DEPARTMENT is also providing Advance Payments to the SUBRECIPIENT where
provided by FEMA and required and allowed by law. Any interest earned on advance payments (except for
interest earned on advances of funds exempt under the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act (31 U.S.C. 6501 et
seq.) and the Indian Self-Determination Act (23 U.S.C. 450)) shall be promptly, but at least quarterly, remitted
to the DEPARTMENT to be paid to FEMA. The SUBRECIPIENT may keep interest amounts up to $100 per
year for administrative expenses.
A. STATE AND FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PUBLIC ASSISTANCE GRANTS:
The following requirements apply to all DHS/FEMA Presidential Disasters administered by the DEPARTMENT.
1. FUNDING
The DEPARTMENT will administer the Public Assistance (PA) Grant Program, provide Advance payments,
and reimburse approved eligible Public Assistance costs to the SUBRECIPIENT that are identified under the
auspices of Presidential Disaster Declaration Number FEMA-4481-DR-WA and authorized by and consistent
with the Stafford Act (P.L. 93-288, as amended) and applicable regulations.
Public Assistance Grant Agreement Page 2 of 21 City of Yakima, D20-155
It is understood that no final dollar figure is committed to at the time that this Agreement is execute5d, but that
financial commitments will be made by amendments to the project application as Project Worksheets are
completed in the field and projects are authorized by state and federal officials.
Pursuant to the FEMA-STATE AGREEMENT, FEMA will contribute not less than 75 percent of the eligible
costs for any eligible project and 100 percent of the federal PA Management Costs, up to 5 percent of the total
award amount for each Subrecipient, as provided for in subsection 3.E. of Article II of this Public Assistance
Agreement. The SUBRECIPIENT commits to providing the remaining 25 percent non-federal match to any
eligible project that has been identified under the Presidential Disaster Declaration number FEMA-4481-DR-
WA, subject to the following exceptions:
DEPARTMENT Match: The Washington State Legislature may authorize the DEPARTMENT to provide a
match to the SUBRECIPIENT's non-federal share of eligible projects. Provision of a match by the
DEPARTMENT, if authorized by the Washington State Legislature, shall not require amendment of this
Agreement. If DEPARTMENT match funds are committed to the non-federal share by the DEPARTMENT
pursuant to legislative authorization, the DEPARTMENT will formally notify the SUBRECIPIENT of the match in
writing which will include information identifying any related reduction in the SUBRECIPIENT's percentage
commitment.
Donated Resources: FEMA will credit the SUBRECIPIENT for the value of donated resources (non-cash
contributions of property or services) related to eligible Emergency Work to offset the non-Federal cost share
of its eligible Emergency Work project worksheets — categories A and B, and for the value of donated
resources related to eligible work on a Permanent Work project to offset the non-Federal cost share of that
specific Permanent Work project worksheet for which the resources were donated — categories C through G.
The Donated Resources are recognized by FEMA in a Project Worksheet. Donated Resources offset the non-
federal share of the eligible emergency work approved in Project Worksheets or specific permanent work
approved in Project Worksheets. For non-state agency SUBRECIPIENTS, the donated resource value will first
be applied to the SUBRECIPIENT's non-federal share, and, if a DEPARTMENT match is authorized, any
remaining donated resource value will be applied to the DEPARTMENT's share. The value of the Donated
Resources is calculated as described in FP 104-009-2 Public Assistance Program and Policy Guide (PAPPG)
and the Public Assistance Donated Resources Recovery Policy, and is capped at the non-Federal share of
approved eligible emergency work costs or capped at the non-Federal share of the specific approved eligible
permanent work costs, as applicable. The Federal share of the Donated Resources will not exceed the non-
federal share of eligible emergency work costs or of specific permanent work costs approved in Project
Worksheets. Any excess credit for eligible emergency work costs can be credited only to other eligible
emergency work costs, for the same SUBRECIPIENT in the same disaster. The value of excess donated
resources cannot be credited toward or transferred to another eligible SUBRECIPIENT, or toward other State
obligations. The DEPARTMENT does not match a FEMA donated resource credit.
The Project Worksheet, sample provided in Attachment 3, is required to be completed by FEMA or State
Project Specialists.

9. LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY (CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 TITLE VI)
All subrecipients must comply with the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI) prohibition
against discrimination on the basis of national origin, which requires that subrecipients of federal
financial assistance take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to persons with limited English
proficiency (LEP) to their programs and services. Providing meaningful access for persons with LEP
may entail providing language assistance services, including oral interpretation and written translation.
Executive Order 13166, Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency
(August 11, 2000), requires federal agencies to issue guidance to recipients, assisting such
organizations and entities in understanding their language access obligations. DHS published the
required recipient guidance in April 2011, DHS Guidance to Federal Financial Assistance Recipients
Regarding Title VI Prohibition Against National Origin Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient
Persons, 76 Fed. Reg. 21755-21768, (April 18, 2011). The Guidance provides helpful information such
as how a recipient can determine the extent of its obligation to provide language services; selecting
language services; and elements of an effective plan on language assistance for LEP persons. For
additional assistance and information regarding language access obligations, please refer to the DHS
Recipient Guidance at https:/1 .dhs.gov/guidance-published-help-department-supported-
organizations-provide-meaningful-access-people-limited and additional resources on
http://www.lep.qov.
