CSJ #0285 -03 -048 RCSJ # District #14 Code Chart 64 #37950 RM 12: Pioneer Farms to San Marcos Baptist Academy CFDA # 20.205 Whenever ARRA funds are used and the Utility is performing any work, either directly or through a contractor, it must comply with the following provisions. If a Utility is receiving ARRA funds, but is not performing any work, the following provisions apply, if appropriate, and to the extent necessary to comply with ARRA regulations. In accordance with Section 902 of the ARRA, should this agreement involve the expenditure of ARRA funds, then the U.S. Comptroller General and its representatives shall have the authority to: a. examine any records of the contractor or any of its subcontractors, or any State or local agency administering such contract, that directly pertain to, and involve transactions relating to the contract or subcontract; and b. interview any officer or employee of the contractor or any of its subcontractors, or any State or local agency administering the contract regarding such contracts. Nothing in the section previously mentioned shall be interpreted to limit or restrict in any way the existing authority of the Comptroller General. In accordance with Section 1515(a) of the ARRA, with respect to each contract or grant awarded using covered funds, any representative of an appropriate inspector general appointed under Section 3 or 8G of the Inspector General Act of 1978 (5 U.S.C. App.), is authorized: a. 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 relating to the contract, subcontract, grant, or subgrant; and b. to interview any officer or employee of the contractor, grantee or subgrantee, or agency regarding such transactions. Section 1515(b) further provides that nothing in the section previously mentioned shall be interpreted to limit or restrict in any way the existing authority of an inspector general. The ARRA requires that the Contractor report monthly employment information for its firm as well as that of all of its subcontractors. The Contractor, similarly, shall include this reporting requirement in all of its subcontracts. Failing to include the requirement in agreements with subcontractors can serve as grounds for contract termination. Form FHWA -1589, Monthlv Emplovment Report, promulgated by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), captures the necessary monthly employment information and shall be submitted by the Contractor on a regular basis to the Utility. It is the responsibility of the Utility to obtain this form from the prime Contractor and any subcontractors and, the Utility shall verify the accuracy, completeness, and reasonableness of the data contained in the form. The Utility shall ensure that this form is submitted by the Utility to the State according to the policies and at the direction of the State. AFA— AFA — Utility Page 5 of 9 Revised 07/20/10
