needed for submittal of a satisfactory deliverable, at no additional cost to the Consortium, within
twenty (20) days of being notified of the unsatisfactory deliverable, or within such other
timeframe as is specified in writing by the Grant Administrator. If a satisfactory deliverable is
not submitted within the specified timeframe, the Consortium may, in its sole discretion, either:
1) terminate this Agreement for failure to perform, or 2) the Consortium Grant Administrator
may, by written notice specifying the failure of performance under this Agreement, request that a
proposed Corrective Action Plan (CAP)be submitted by the Subrecipient to the Consortium. All

notify the Subrecipient in writing whether the CAP proposed has been accepted. If the CAP is
not accepted, the Subrecipient shall have ten (10) days from receipt of the Consortium letter

Agreement for cause as authorized in this Agreement.
2. Upon the Consortium's notice of acceptance of a proposed CAP, the
Subrecipient shall have ten (10) days to commence implementation of the accepted plan.
Acceptance of the proposed CAP by the Consortium does not relieve the Subrecipient of any of
its obligations under the Agreement. In the event the CAP fails to correct or eliminate
performance deficiencies by Subrecipient, the Consortium shall retain the right to require
additional or further remedial steps, or to terminate this Agreement for failure to perform. No
actions approved by the Consortium or steps taken by the Subrecipient shall preclude the
Consortium from subsequently asserting any deficiencies in performance. The Subrecipient shall
continue to implement the CAP until all deficiencies are corrected. Reports on the progress of the
CAP will be made to the Consortium as requested by the Consortium Grant Administrator.
3. Failure to respond to a Consortium request for a CAP or failure to correct
a deficiency in the performance of the Agreement as specified by the Consortium may result in
termination of the Agreement.
The remedies set forth above are not exclusive and the Consortium reserves the right to exercise
other remedies in addition to or in lieu of those set forth above, as permitted by this Agreement
or as otherwise available at law or in equity.

SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS
Supporting documentation must be provided for each amount for which reimbursement is being
claimed. Each piece of documentation should clearly reflect the dates on which the service
and/or goods were provided. Only expenditures for categories in the approved Project budget
will be reimbursed. Invoices for cost reimbursement contracts must be supported by an itemized
listing of expenditures by category (salary, travel, expenses, etc.).
Listed below are examples of the types of documentation representing the minimum
requirements for various categories of costs:
I. Salaries: A payroll register or similar documentation should be submitted. The
payroll register should show gross salary charges, fringe benefits, other deductions and net pay.
If an individual for whom reimbursement is being claimed is paid by the hour, a document
reflecting the hours worked times the rate of pay will be acceptable.
2. Fringe Benefits: Fringe Benefits should be supported by invoices showing the
amount paid on behalf of the employee (e.g., insurance premiums paid). If the contract
specifically states that fringe benefits will be based on a specified percentage rather than the
actual cost of fringe benefits,then the calculation for the fringe benefits amount must be shown.
Exception: Governmental entities are not required to provide check numbers or copies of checks
for fringe benefits.
3. Travel: Reimbursement for travel expenses must be in accordance with Section
112.061, Florida Statutes, and include sufficient documentation as to expenses for which
reimbursement is sought and also the purpose of the travel.
4. Other direct costs: Reimbursement will be made based on paid invoices/receipts.
5. Indirect costs: If the contract specifies that indirect costs will be paid based on a
specified rate, then the calculation should be shown.
6. Contractual Services (Subcontractors): Reimbursement requests for payments to
subcontractors must be substantiated by copies of invoices with backup documentation identical
to that required from the Subrecipient. Subcontracts which involve payments for direct salaries
shall clearly identify the personnel involved, salary rate per hour, and hours/time spent on the
Project, All multipliers used (i.e., fringe benefits, overhead, and/or general and administrative
rates) shall be supported by audit. If the Consortium determines that multipliers charged by any
subcontractor exceeded the rates supported by audit, the Subrecipient shall be required to
reimburse such funds to the Consortium within thirty (30) days of written notification. Interest
on the excessive charges shall be calculated based on the prevailing rate used by the State Board
of Administration.

standard work week of 40 hours. Work in excess of the standard work week is permissible
provided that the worker is compensated at a rate of not less than one and a half times the basic
rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in the work week. The requirements of 40
U.S.C. § 3704 are applicable to construction work and provide that no laborer or mechanic must
be required to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary,
hazardous or dangerous. These requirements do not apply to the purchases of supplies or
materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or contracts for transportation or
transmission of intelligence.
