DESCHUTES COUNTY / CROOK COUNTY
Pre -Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Grant Program Contract
1.0 PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT
This Agreement is made and entered into by and between DESCHUTES
COUNTY, hereinafter referred to as "Deschutes County" and CROOK COUNTY,
hereinafter referred to as "Crook County".
WHEREAS the Pre- Disaster Mitigation (PDM) grant program was authorized by
section 203 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance
Act (Stafford Act), 42 U.S.C. 5133, as amended by section 102 of the Disaster
Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA), Public Law 106-390, 114 Stat. 1552, to assist
States and communities to implement a sustained pre -disaster natural hazard
mitigation program to reduce overall risk to the population and structures, while
also reducing reliance on funding from actual disaster declarations.
WHEREAS approximately $100 million was made available for the FY07 PDM
competitive grant program in part provided from the National Pre -Disaster
Mitigation Fund under Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, and
the PDM program under Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act,
and that Oregon was successful in receiving a portion of that funding.
WHEREAS, Deschutes County will be acting as the contact for interaction by the
counties with the State of Oregon, Oregon Military Department, Office of
Emergency Management (OEM), the agency responsible for distribution of
reimbursement funds, and submitting all requests on behalf of both counties for
reimbursement and there is, therefore, a need to memorialize the respective
responsibilities of Deschutes County and Crook County with respect to the PDM
grant program.
WHEREAS, Deschutes County and Crook County mutually agree to the
following.
2.0 PURPOSE
Federal funding is provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency,
Department of Homeland Security (FEMA) and is administered by OEM. Under
the authority of section 203 of the Stafford Act, OEM is reimbursing Deschutes
County for those eligible costs and activities necessary for the implementation of
PAGE 1 - Pre -Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Grant Program Contract
Z:\Court\DGordon\Contracts-Agreements 2008\predisaster mitigation contract-final.doc
DC -2008-465
the Pre -Disaster Mitigation grant project entitled 2008 Deschutes & Crook
Counties Wildland Fire Mitigation dated February 1, 2007, and described in
the application materials submitted to OEM as the work to be performed,
hereinafter referred to as the "Project". Crook County is eligible to receive
$505,095.23 to implement those activities to be performed in Crook County
pursuant to the Project.
3.0 TIME OF PERFORMANCE
Activities payable under this Agreement and to be performed by Crook County
under this Agreement shall be those eligible activities which occurred starting
September 25, 2007 and shall terminate upon completion of the Project
approved by federal and state officials, including completion of close out and
audit. This period shall be referred to as the "Agreement Period." Except as
otherwise provided in this Section 3.0, the Project shall be completed no later
than May 28, 2011. Pre -award grant costs identified in the approved scope of
work are also eligible for grant funding.
4.0 FUNDING
The total estimated cost of the Project for the purpose of this Grant Agreement is
$1,347,935.46.
OEM will administer the PDM Program and reimburse any eligible costs for the
Project to Deschutes County which are identified in the documentation provided
by Deschutes County and approved by OEM and FEMA. Deschutes County will
within 30 days of receipt submit to OEM claims for reimbursement submitted to
Deschutes County by Crook County and remit any such reimbursement funds to
Crook County within 30 days upon receipt. Crook County shall be fully
responsible for preparation and justification of claims for reimbursement
submitted to OEM and FEMA.
The Parties understand that the FEMA will contribute seventy-five percent (75%)
of the eligible costs for any eligible project as provided for in subparagraph 4 of
Section 5.0 of this Agreement, and that no state funds are obligated for
contribution under this Agreement. The 75% FEMA share for this project is
$1,010,190.46.
Deschutes County and Crook County will each commit one-half of the required
twenty-five percent (25%) non-federal match to any eligible project; $337,745.00
for this project.
5.0 PAYMENTS
OEM, using funds granted for purposes of the Pre -Disaster Mitigation Grant
Program from FEMA, shall issue payments to Deschutes County as follows:
PAGE 2 - Pre -Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Grant Program Contract
Z:\Court\DGordon\Contracts-Agreements 2008\predisaster mitigation contract-final.doc
1. Payments will be made to Deschutes County upon submission and
approval of a State of Oregon PDM Payment Request to OEM. Partial
payments of funds for costs already incurred may be requested at any
time during the Project. This request must include appropriate
supporting documentation of the incurred costs. If a request for
reimbursement is denied in whole or in part, the parties will endeavor
to determine the appropriate shares of any approved amounts and if
agreement cannot be reached, submit the matter to OEM. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 15 (Appeals), OEM's determination shall
be final.
2. Final Payment will be made upon completion of Project, completion of
all final inspections by OEM, and final approval by FEMA. Final
payment will also be conditioned upon a financial review by OEM or
FEMA. Adjustments to the final payment may be made following any
audits conducted by the Oregon Secretary of State's Audits Division or
the United States Inspector General's Office.
3. All payment requests shall be made on a State of Oregon PDM
Program Payment Request Form to OEM, which references the
appropriate PDM grant number, FEMA FIPS Number, and appropriate
documentation as required.
4. Funding shall not exceed the total federal contributions available for
the approved project costs under the Pre -Disaster Mitigation Program.
5. OEM reserves the right to make any inspection prior to release of any
payment or at any time during the duration of this Agreement.

respect to activities performed in each respective County and will be borne fully
by the County in which the activity occurs.
7.0 RECORDS MAINTENANCE
Crook County shall maintain books, records, documents, and other evidence and
accounting procedures and practices that sufficiently and properly reflect all

of State's Audits Division, or the United States Inspector General. Crook County

Audits shall be in accordance with the Single Audit Act of 1984, as amended.
Crook County is to procure for grant project activities occurring in Crook County,

is overpaid federal funds in accordance with federal or state Pre -Disaster

federal and state laws and requirements. Subject to any exercise of right and
appeal pursuant to Section 15 of the agreement between OEM and Deschutes
County entered into with respect to the Project, repayment by Crook County of

federal share of all Project funds recovered in excess of costs of litigation.
