Grant Agreement
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to request City Council approval to enter into an
agreement with the Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency
Management as required for receiving federal and state funding for the City's North Fork
Catfish Creek Sanitary Sewer Improvements Project in the amount of $1,627,113
through the FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
BACKGROUND
In March of 2004, the City funded an evaluation of the sewer referred to as the "Key
Way sanitary sewer system." Based on the recommendations of the study prepared by
Veenstra & Kimm, Inc., the City Council established $1,904,250 to up-size the Catfish
Creek interceptor sewer line from the University Avenue Extension at US20 to the
Northwest Arterial. The project consists of replacing the existing 12-inch diameter clay
sewer with a 24-inch diameter ductile iron sewer from University Avenue to Key Way
and replacing it with an 18-inch diameter ductile iron sewer from Key Way to the
Northwest Arterial. The City has completed a topographical survey from University
Avenue to Key Way.
In August of 2007, the City submitted a "Notice of Interest" (NOI) for grant funding to
Iowa Department of Homeland Security & Emergency Management (IHSEM) for the
City's North Fork Catfish Creek Sanitary and Stormwater Drainage Improvements
Project.
In September of 2007, IHS concluded that the sanitary sewer portion, $1,904,250, of the
City's project was eligible for funding under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program
(HMGP). They invited the City to submit a formal application for HMGP Project grant
funding.
In October of 2007, the City Council passed Resolution 506-07 authorizing submission
of an application for $1,904,250 in HMGP funds for the sanitary sewer portion of the
North Fork Catfish Creek Sanitary and Stormwater Drainage Improvements Project.
The granf requires fifteen percent (15%) local matching funds.

interest earned at least quarterly to the GRANTEE. HSEM will provide instructions to the
SUBGRANTEE for the disposition of reported interest earned.
Payments to SUBGRANTEE's are based on eligible expenditures that are specifically related to
the approved grant budget and scope of work. The SUBGRANTEE has two options available to
them when requesting payments from HSEMD. SUBGRANTEE's can request
Reimbursement for allowable expenditures already paid, or request an Advance for
expenditures expected to be paid within 30 days.
Payments shall be limited to the documented cash requirements submitted by the
SUBGRANTEE. The SUBGRANTEE must submit a completed Payment Request Form and
provide supporting documentation of eligible project costs to receive payment of funds.
Reimbursement requests must include payment verification (i.e. paid invoices, receipts,
payroll records with personnel activity reports, cancelled checks, general ledger print
outs, etc.).

other document). Payment verification documents (same documents required for a
Reimbursement request) for the advance must be submitted to HSEMD within 30 days
after the advance, and before future advances are made.
No more than thirty (30) days should elapse between the date of receipt of a warrant and pay out

agreement
® Floodplain development permit (if applicable)
® Procurement documents: method of procurement, bid specifications approved by
HSEMD, copy of approved and executed contracts between the subgrantee and contractor
® Site plans approved by FEMA
VII. Match Verification
The maximum federal share to this mitigation project grant cannot exceed 75% of eligible
project expenditures. Therefore, the local matching funds (cash and in-kind) must be at least
15% of eligible project expenditures, and the state share shall be 10%. The subgrantee is
responsible for submitting proof of the local non-federal match that was used for their
mitigation grant to HSEMD. Expenditures must be in accordance with the approved scope of
work and budget and in accordance with the 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Section
13.24, "Matching or cost sharing"
Cash match can be money contributed to the subgrantee by the subgrantee, other public agencies
and institutions, private organizations, and individuals as long as it comes from anon-federal
source. Cash spent must be for allowable costs in accordance with the subgrantee's approved
scope of work and budget and must be applicable to the period to which the cost sharing or
matching requirement applies. Documentation can be copies of the subgrantee's checks to the
third parties and a copy of the subgrantee's general ledger for revenues and expenses clearly
showing the federal and non-federal cash sources.
In-kind match must comply with the requirements of the 44 CFR, Section 13.24 (matching or
cost sharing). The value of in-bind contributions is also applicable to the period to which the
cost sharing or matching requirement applies. The in-kind match provided must be documented
by the third party contributing the in-kind services. The in-kind match must be specifically
stated in the subgrantee's scope of work and budget before in-kind match will be allowed to
match any mitigation grant. Documentation can be a letter (on letterhead) from the third party
stating the scope of their work, what is being contributed as it relates to the scope of work, the
value, a statement to the effect that the value is normally charged, and a statement that the value
is being waived on behalf of the subgrantee to meet the matching requirements to the
subgrantee's mitigation grant.
If the local match is insufficient to satisfy the local match requirements for receiving all available
federal funds, the awarded federal funds will be reduced accordingly so as not to exceed the
maximum federal share allowed under this award.
