7. COST SHARING FFRDC'S NOT INVOLVED
APPLICABLE ONLY IF COST SHARING IS INCLUDED IN THE AWARD.
a. Total Estimated Project Cost is the sum of the Government share and Recipient share of the estimated
Not Specified/Other 2
102709
project costs. The Recipient's cost share must come from non -Federal sources unless otherwise

percentage share of total allowable project costs, on a budget period basis, even if the project is
terminated early or is not funded to its completion. This cost is shared as follows:
Budget
Period
No.

Administrator indicating whether you will continue or phase out the project. If you plan to continue
the project, the notification must describe how replacement cost sharing will be secured.
c. You must maintain records of all project costs that you claim as cost sharing, including in-kind costs,
as well as records of costs to be paid by DOE/NNSA. Such records are subject to audit.
d. Failure to provide the cost sharing required by this Article may result in the subsequent recovery by

8. REBUDGETING AND RECOVERY OF INDIRECT COSTS
THE APPLICABLE TERM IS MARKED BELOW.
[ ] REBUDGETING AND RECOVERY OF INDIRECT COSTS - REIMBURSABLE INDIRECT
COSTS AND FRINGE BENEFITS
a. If actual allowable indirect costs and fringe benefits are less than those budgeted and funded
under the award, you may use the difference to pay additional allowable direct costs during the
project period. If at the completion of the award the Government's share of total allowable costs
(i.e., direct, indirect, fringe benefits), is less than the total costs reimbursed, you must refund the
difference.
b. Recipients are expected to manage their indirect costs and fringe benefits. DOE will not amend
an award solely to provide additional funds for changes in indirect costs and fringe benefits.
DOE recognizes that the inability to obtain full reimbursement for indirect costs and fringe
benefits means the recipient must absorb the underrecovery. Such underrecovery may be
allocated as part of the organization's required cost sharing.
REBUDGETING AND RECOVERY OF INDIRECT COSTS — REIMBURSABLE INDIRECT
COSTS
a. If actual allowable indirect costs are less than those budgeted and funded under the award, you
may use the difference to pay additional allowable direct costs during the project period. If at
the completion of the award the Government's share of total allowable costs (i.e., direct and
indirect), is less than the total costs reimbursed, you must refund the difference.
b. Recipients are expected to manage their indirect costs. DOE will not amend an award solely to
provide additional funds for changes in indirect cost rates. DOE recognizes that the inability to
obtain full reimbursement for indirect costs means the recipient must absorb the underrecovery.
Such underrecovery may be allocated as part of the organization's required cost sharing.
c. The budget for this award includes indirect costs, but does not include fringe benefits.
Therefore, fringe benefit costs shall not be charged to nor shall reimbursement be requested for
Not Specified/Other
102709
this project nor shall the fringe benefit costs for this project be allocated to any other federally
sponsored project. In addition, fringe benefit costs shall not be counted as cost share unless
approved by the Contracting Officer.
[X] REBUDGETING AND RECOVERY OF INDIRECT COSTS - INDIRECT COSTS AND FRINGE
BENEFITS ARE NOT REIMBURSABLE

indirect costs or fringe benefits shall not be counted as cost share unless approved by the Contracting
Officer.

whichever is greater (EISA Sec 545(b)(3)(A), for administrative expenses, excluding the costs of
meeting the reporting requirements under Title V, Subtitle E of EISA. These costs should be captured
and summarized for each activating under the Projected Costs Within Budget: Administration.
b. Recipients are expected to manage their administrative costs. DOE will not amend an award solely to
provide additional funds for changes in administrative costs. The Recipient shall not be reimbursed on
this project for any final administrative costs that are in excess of the designated 10 percent
administrative cost ceiling. In addition, the Recipient shall neither count costs in excess of the
administrative cost ceiling as cost share, nor allocate such costs to other federally sponsored projects,
unless approved by the Contracting Officer.

24. SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO WORK FUNDED UNDER AMERICAN
RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009 (MAY 2009)
Preamble
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Pub. L. 111-5, (Recovery Act) was enacted to
preserve and create jobs and promote economic recovery, assist those most impacted by the recession,
provide investments needed to increase economic efficiency by spurring technological advances in science
and health, invest in transportation, environmental protection, and other infrastructure that will provide
long-term economic benefits, stabilize State and local government budgets, in order to minimize and avoid
reductions in essential services and counterproductive State and local tax increases. Recipients shall use
grant funds in a manner that maximizes job creation and economic benefit.
The Recipient shall comply with all terms and conditions in the Recovery Act relating generally to
governance, accountability, transparency, data collection and resources as specified in Act itself and as
discussed below.
Recipients should begin planning activities for their first tier subrecipients, including obtaining a DUNS
number (or updating the existing DUNS record), and registering with the Central Contractor Registration
(CCR).
Be advised that Recovery Act funds can be used in conjunction with other funding as necessary to complete
projects, but tracking and reporting must be separate to meet the reporting requirements of the Recovery
Act and related guidance. For projects funded by sources other than the Recovery Act, Contractors must
keep separate records for Recovery Act funds and to ensure those records comply with the requirements of
the Act.
The Government has not fully developed the implementing instructions of the Recovery Act, particularly
concerning specific procedural requirements for the new reporting requirements. The Recipient will be
provided these details as they become available. The Recipient must comply with all requirements of the
Act. If the recipient believes there is any inconsistency between ARRA requirements and current award
terms and conditions, the issues will be referred to the Contracting Officer for reconciliation.
Definitions
For purposes of this clause, Covered Funds means funds expended or obligated from appropriations under
Not Specified/Other 7
102709
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Pub. L. 111-5. Covered Funds will have special
accounting codes and will be identified as Recovery Act funds in the grant, cooperative agreement or TIA
and/or modification using Recovery Act funds. Covered Funds must be reimbursed by September 30,
2015.
Non -Federal employer means any employer with respect to covered funds — the contractor, subcontractor,
grantee, or recipient, as the case may be, if the contractor, subcontractor, grantee, or recipient is an
employer; and any professional membership organization, certification of other professional body, any
agent or licensee of the Federal government, or any person acting directly or indirectly in the interest of an
employer receiving covered funds; or with respect to covered funds received by a State or local
government, the State or local government receiving the funds and any contractor or subcontractor
receiving the funds and any contractor or subcontractor of the State or Local government; and does not
mean any department, agency, or other entity of the federal government.
Recipient means any entity that receives Recovery Act funds directly from the Federal government
(including Recovery Act funds received through grant, loan, or contract) other than an individual and
includes a State that receives Recovery Act Funds.
Special Provisions
A. Flow Down Requirement
Recipients must include these special terms and conditions in any subaward.
B. Segregation of Costs
Recipients must segregate the obligations and expenditures related to funding under the Recovery Act.
Financial and accounting systems should be revised as necessary to segregate, track and maintain these
funds apart and separate from other revenue streams. No part of the funds from the Recovery Act shall
be commingled with any other funds or used for a purpose other than that of making payments for
costs allowable for Recovery Act projects.
Prohibition on Use of Funds
None of the funds provided under this agreement derived from the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009, Pub. L. 111-5, may be used by any State or local government, or any
private entity, for any casino or other gambling establishment, aquarium, zoo, golf course, or
swimming pool.
C. Access to Records
With respect to each financial assistance agreement awarded utilizing at least some of the funds
appropriated or otherwise made available by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009,
Pub. L. 111-5, any representative of an appropriate inspector general appointed under section 3 or 8G
of the Inspector General Act of 1988 (5 U.S.C. App.) or of the Comptroller General is authorized —
(1) to examine any records of the contractor or grantee, any of its subcontractors or subgrantees, or
any State or local agency administering such contract that pertain to, and involve transactions
relation to, the subcontract, subcontract, grant, or subgrant; and
(2) to interview any officer or employee of the contractor, grantee, subgrantee, or agency regarding
such transactions.
D. Publication
An application may contain technical data and other data, including trade secrets and/or privileged or
Not Specified/Other
102709
confidential information, which the applicant does not want disclosed to the public or used by the
Government for any purpose other than the application. To protect such data, the applicant should
specifically identify each page including each line or paragraph thereof containing the data to be
protected and mark the cover sheet of the application with the following Notice as well as referring to
the Notice on each page to which the Notice applies:

Federal Government pursuant to the Recovery Act shall be paid wages at rates not less than those
prevailing on projects of a character similar in the locality as determined by the Secretary of Labor in
accordance with subchapter IV of chapter 31 of title 40, United States Code.
Pursuant to Reorganization Plan No. 14 and the Copeland Act, 40 U.S.C. 3145, the Department of
Labor has issued regulations at 29 CFR parts 1, 3, and 5 to implement the Davis -Bacon and related
Acts. Regulations in 29 CFR 5.5 instruct agencies concerning application of the standard Davis -Bacon
contract clauses set forth in that section. Federal agencies providing grants, cooperative agreements,
and loans under the Recovery Act shall ensure that the standard Davis -Bacon contract clauses found in
29 CFR 5.5(a) are incorporated in any resultant covered contracts that are in excess of $2,000 for
construction, alteration or repair (including painting and decorating).
b. For additional guidance on the wage rate requirements of section 1606, contact your awarding agency.
Recipients of grants, cooperative agreements and loans should direct their initial inquiries concerning
the application of Davis -Bacon requirements to a particular federally assisted project to the Federal
agency funding the project. The Secretary of Labor retains final coverage authority under

29. RECOVERY ACT TRANSACTIONS LISTED IN SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF
FEDERAL AWARDS AND RECIPIENT RESPONSIBILITIES FOR INFORMING
SUBRECIPIENTS (MAY 2009)
a. To maximize the transparency and accountability of funds authorized under the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111--5) (Recovery Act) as required by Congress and in
accordance with 2 CFR 215.21 "Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Agreements"
and OMB Circular A--102 Common Rules provisions, recipients agree to maintain records that
identify adequately the source and application of Recovery Act funds. OMB Circular A--102 is
available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/a102/a102.html
b. For recipients covered by the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and OMB Circular A--133,
"Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non -Profit Organizations," recipients agree to separately
identify the expenditures for Federal awards under the Recovery Act on the Schedule of Expenditures
of Federal Awards (SEFA) and the Data Collection Form (SF --SAC) required by OMB Circular A--
133. OMB Circular A--133 is available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/a133/a133.html.
This shall be accomplished by identifying expenditures for Federal awards made under the Recovery
Act separately on the SEFA, and as separate rows under Item 9 of Part III on the SF --SAC by CFDA
number, and inclusion of the prefix "ARRA-" in identifying the name of the Federal program on the
SEFA and as the first characters in Item 9d of Part III on the SF --SAC.
c. Recipients agree to separately identify to each subrecipient, and document at the time of subaward and
at the time of disbursement of funds, the Federal award number, CFDA number, and amount of
Recovery Act funds. When a recipient awards Recovery Act funds for an existing program, the
information furnished to subrecipients shall distinguish the subawards of incremental Recovery Act
funds from regular subawards under the existing program.
d. Recipients agree to require their subrecipients to include on their SEFA information to specifically
identify Recovery Act funding similar to the requirements for the recipient SEFA described above.
This information is needed to allow the recipient to properly monitor subrecipient expenditure of
ARRA funds as well as oversight by the Federal awarding agencies, Offices of Inspector General and
the Government Accountability Office.

specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein; provided, that the employer's
payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is
performed.
(4) The wage determination (including any additional classifications and wage rates conformed under
paragraph (c) of this article) and the Davis -Bacon poster (WH -1321) shall be posted at all times by
the Contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place
where it can be easily seen by the workers.
c. (1) The Contracting Officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics which is not listed in
the wage determination and which is to be employed under the award shall be classified in
conformance with the wage determination. The Contracting Officer shall approve an additional
classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when all the following criteria have
been met:
(i) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification
in the wage determination.
(ii) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry.
(iii) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable
relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination.
(2) If the Contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known),
or their representatives and the Contracting Officer agree on the classification and wage rate
(including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), a report of the action
taken shall be sent by the Contracting Officer to the Administrator of the:
Wage and Hour Division
Employment Standards Administration
U.S. Department of Labor
Washington, DC 20210
The Administrator or an authorized representative will approve, modify, or disapprove every
additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the Contracting Officer or
will notify the Contracting Officer within the 30 -day period that additional time is necessary.
(3) In the event the Contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification, or their
representatives, and the Contracting Officer do not agree on the proposed classification and wage
rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the Contracting
Officer shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the
recommendation of the Contracting Officer, to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division
for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination
within 30 days of receipt and so advise the Contracting Officer or will notify the Contracting
Officer within the 30 -day period that additional time is necessary.
(4) The wage rate (including fringe benefits, where appropriate) determined pursuant to
subparagraphs (c)(2) and (c)(3) of this article shall be paid to all workers performing work in the
Not Specified/Other 19
102709
classification under this award from the first day on which work is performed in the classification.
(d) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the award for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a
fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the Contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated
in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof.
(e) If the Contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the Contractor may consider as
part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing
bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program; provided, that the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the
written request of the Contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis -Bacon Act have been met. The
Secretary of Labor may require the Contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of
obligations under the plan or program.
Rates of Wages
The minimum wages to be paid laborers and mechanics under this award involved in performance of work at
the project site, as determined by the Secretary of Labor to be prevailing for the corresponding classes of
laborers and mechanics employed on projects of a character similar to the contract work in the pertinent
locality, are included as an attachment to this award. These wage rates are minimum rates and are not intended
to represent the actual wage rates that the Contractor may have to pay.
Payrolls and Basic Records
(a) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the Contractor during the course of the
work and preserved for a period of 3 years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of
the work. Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such worker, his
or her correct classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated
for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the
Davis -Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made, and actual wages paid.
Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found, under paragraph (d) of the article entitled Davis -Bacon Act,
that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in
providing benefits under a plan or program described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis -Bacon Act, the
Contractor shall maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable,
that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in
writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual
cost incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved
programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of
trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed
in the applicable programs.
(b) (1) The Contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any award work is performed a copy of all
payrolls to the Contracting Officer. The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all
of the information required to be maintained under paragraph (a) of this article, except that full social
security numbers and home addresses shall not be included on weekly transmittals. Instead the
payrolls shall only need to include an individually identifying number for each employee (e.g., the last
four digits of the employee's social security number). This information may be submitted in any form
desired. Optional Form WH -347 (Federal Stock Number 029-005-00014-1) is available for this
purpose and may be purchased from the --
Superintendent of Documents U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, DC 20402
The Prime Contractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors.
Contractors and subcontractors shall maintain the full social security number and current address of
each covered worker, and shall provide them upon request to the Contracting Officer if the agency is a
party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the contractor will submit them to the
applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the case may be for transmission to the Contracting Officer, the
Not Specified/Other 20
102709
contractor, or the Wage and House Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an
investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing wage requirements. It is not a violation of this
section for a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide addresses and social security
numbers to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly submission to the sponsoring
government agency (or the applicant, sponsor, or owner).
(2) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a "Statement of Compliance," signed by the
Contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons
employed under the award and shall certify --
(i) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided under
paragraph (b)(1) of this article, the appropriate information is being maintained under paragraph
(a) of this article and that such information is correct and complete;
(ii) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee) employed on the
award during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either
directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the
full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in the Regulations, 29 CFR Part
3; and
(iii) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe
benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified in the applicable
wage determination incorporated into the award.
(3)
The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional
Form WH -347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the "Statement of Compliance" required
by subparagraph (b)(2) of this article.
(4) The falsification of any of the certifications in this article may subject the Contractor or subcontractor
to civil or criminal prosecution under Section 1001 of Title 18 and Section 3729 of Title 31 of the
United States Code.
(c) The Contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph (a) of this article available
for inspection, copying, or transcription by the Contracting Officer or authorized representatives of the
Contracting Officer or the Department of Labor. The Contractor or subcontractor shall permit the
Contracting Officer or representatives of the Contracting Officer or the Department of Labor to interview
employees during working hours on the job. If the Contractor or subcontractor fails to submit required
records or to make them available, the Contracting Officer may, after written notice to the Contractor, take
such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment. Furthermore, failure to
submit the required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment
action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12.
Withholding of Funds
The Contracting Officer shall, upon his or her own action or upon written request of an authorized
representative of the Department of Labor, withhold or cause to be withheld from the Contractor under this
award or any other Federal award with the same Prime Contractor, or any other federally assisted award
subject to Davis -Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the same Prime Contractor, so
much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics,
including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the Contractor or any subcontractor the full
amount of wages required by the award. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including
any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work, all or part of the wages
required by the award, the Contracting Officer may, after written notice to the Contractor, take such action
as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until
such violations have ceased.

shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed in the wage determination unless the
Not Specified/Other 22
102709
Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program
associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate in the wage determination which
provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a
trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the OATELS

Project Summary: (limit summary to space provided)
Deschutes County proposes to use $12,000 in Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG)
funding to develop and adopt an energy efficiency and conservation strategy (EECS). The EECS will be
used, not only to identify projects eligible for grant funding, but to create a foundation for future
decisions and activities related to energy use in County facilities and operations and potentially
within the community at large.
The County will select a qualified agency to assist in developing the EECS through a public process
that is consistent with existing purchasing guidelines and procedures. County staff has engaged in
preliminary discussions with local groups experienced with energy policy issues and, as a result,
estimates that the proposed budget of $12,000 will be adequate to complete the project. Staff will
work closely with the selected agency to prepare the EECS to ensure that the information incorporated
within the document is consistent with the County's vision.
The proposed EECS initiative is intended to create a comprehensive document that will be used to
develop policies, guide operations, plan capital projects, and allocate budget resources. The
document will provide the following framework on which these activities can be built:
* Measurable Goals and Objectives
* Implementation Methodology
* Milestones
* Schedules and Timelines
* Communication and Coordination Strategies
* Funding Sources
* Sustainability Measures
* Auditing, Monitoring, and Evaluation Procedures
Upon completion, staff will present the EECS to the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners for
adoption. The approved document will then be submitted to the Department of Energy within the 120 -day
period required by the EECBG formula grant process.

DOE intends to append the periodic ARRA — Performance Progress Report to include reporting on the following, at a
minimum:
The results of the funding provided for the EECBG Program through the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA) will be assessed according to the following performance metrics:
• Jobs created and/or retained
• Energy (kwh/therms/gallons/BTUs/etc.) saved
• Renewable energy generated
• GHG emissions reduced
• Cost savings
The metrics described below are designed to track the accomplishments of projects funded by EECBG.
States must not include results reported by direct grant recipients. Grant recipients will be presented with
reporting requirements at the time they receive funding and will be expected to report their achievements in
terms of the specified metrics presented below.
Grant recipients will be required to report quarterly on project expenditures, and also on specific activities and
achievements, such as square feet of buildings retrofitted. These items tend to be outputs (actions taken by
grant recipients) but also include some short-term outcomes (results achieved relatively soon after project
outputs occur that lead toward attainment of ultimate project objectives).
Expenditures: Accurate records should be kept on project expenditures for all EECBG ARRA funded efforts.
The specific information to be gathered and tracked is listed below. It will be the same for all project types:
• Expenditures for project activities
• Expenditures for administration
• Expenditures for evaluation
• Leveraged funds
Metrics Activity: The key metrics to be reported will vary by project type. The minimum information to be
reported, by project activity type, is reported below.
