EMPG funds it receives. All invoices/ requests for reimbursement from City must include appropriate
documentation such as receipts or payment records as well as other documentation required under
Federal or State grant program requirements (see Article III).

executives if:
o In the preceding fiscal year, the subcontractor received 80 percent or more, and
$25,000,000 or more, of its gross annual revenue from federal procurement
contracts or subcontracts or from federal financial assistance subject to the
Transparency Act, as defined at 2 C.F.R. § 170.230; and

Classified information that, in the interest of national security, requires protection against
unauthorized disclosure (i.e., information deemed Top Secret, Secret, or Confidential under
Executive Order 12958) is exempt from the Prime and Sub-Recipient reporting requirements, as
are contracts with individuals.
(c) Sole Source Contracts

expenditures within a given quarter as specified above in Article II, Section 2(a).
(c) All grant funds not claimed by City via a proper reimbursement request, which includes all
required documentation, by April 15, 2025 will be forfeited. County may then determine how
to spend those funds in accordance with grant requirements.
Article IV. Use of Funds
1. Master Grant Obligations
(a) City shall comply with the EMPG Federal Program Guidance, the State Guidance, and the
Grant Certifications and Assurances, attached as Exhibits B, C & D. City shall require any
subgrantee, contractor, or other entity receiving EMPG funds through or from City to execute
a copy of the Grant Certifications and Assurances, and shall be responsible for ensuring that
subgrantee, contractor, or other entity complies with the Grant Certifications and
Assurances.
(b) City shall ensure its Project Manager attends a grant kickoff meeting with County OEM staff.
Additionally, City shall ensure its Project Manager is available to meet with County OEM
staff upon request during the period of this agreement to report on progress on each project
funded under this Agreement.
(c) City shall comply with all other applicable statutes, regulations, executive orders,
requirements, policies, guides, guidelines, information bulletins, Cal OES grant management
memos, and instructions; the terms and conditions of the grant award; the approved Spend
Plans; and any other conditions imposed by Cal OES or by this Agreement, provided that if
any provisions of this Agreement conflict with any State requirements, the State
requirements will control. City shall ensure that any subgrantee, contractor, or other entity
receiving EMPG funds through or from City complies with all applicable statutes,
regulations, executive orders, requirements, policies, guides, guidelines, information
DocuSign Envelope ID: DDF13768-DD5E-457B-9F81-81B7ACD084BB
Page 7 of 18
bulletins, Cal OES grant management memos, and instructions; the terms and conditions of
the grant award; the approved Spend Plans; and any other conditions imposed by Cal OES
or by this Agreement.
(d) By executing this Agreement, City certifies that it is not debarred, suspended, or otherwise
ineligible to receive EMPG funds. In addition, City shall ensure and independently verify
that any subgrantee, contractor, or other entity receiving EMPG funds through or from City
is not debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded from participation in the EMPG program.
City shall maintain documentary proof of this verification in its files.
2. Scope of Services
(a) City shall use the funds granted under this Agreement only for the purpose of implementing
applicable initiatives under the 2023 EMPG program, as indicated in Exhibit E, Project
Narrative(s). City shall not use the funds granted under this Agreement for any other purpose.
County shall not be required to disburse funds to or otherwise pay City for services,
materials, equipment, or supplies provided by City that are beyond the scope of the services,
materials, equipment, or supplies agreed upon in this Agreement or a lawfully executed
written amendment.
Indirect costs are allowable under the FY23 EMPG grant. Allowability of Indirect costs does
not increase the total amount of the State, Operational Area or other sub-recipient (i.e.
jurisdictions) grant awards. Claims for indirect costs therefore necessarily decrease the
federal funds available to pay for direct project costs. Subawards are based on the direct cost
of approved projects. Sub-recipients wishing to claim indirect costs must use an indirect cost
rate in compliance with the most current applicable Federal guidance and regulations
including 2 C.F.R. § 200.68 and Subpart E.
(b) All EMPG grant-funded personnel (e.g. an Emergency Preparedness Planner employed by
the City under this grant) shall participate in no less than two exercises in a 12-month
period. These exercises must align to an identified priority area. EMPG grant-funded
personnel are any personnel paid at any percentage with EMPG funding. This includes
contracted personnel, as well as M&A staff funded by EMPG grant funds. There is no
specific requirement for level of “participation” in the exercises – i.e., observation and
attendance satisfies the objective. The exercises can be of any type (e.g., Drills, Tabletop
Exercises, or Functional) within the performance period (see https://hseep.dhs.gov).
Participation in exercises by grant funded staff must be reported quarterly to ensure
adequate progress is being made toward meeting this requirement.
(c) To ensure the development of a professional emergency management workforce, all EMPG
grant-funded personnel shall complete the following 11 training requirements and shall
record proof of completion:
• National Incident Management System (NIMS) Training:
i. IS 100 Introduction to Incident Command System
ii. IS 200 ICS for Single Resources and Initial Action Incident
iii. IS 700 National Incident Management System, An Introduction

to satisfy these training requirements. Past completion of the above courses (or qualifying
equivalent) may be considered acceptable in meeting this requirement.

breaching party has commenced its cure, correction or remedy within the thirty (30) day
period and diligently and continuously pursues that cure, correction or remedy.
(d) If this Agreement is terminated, City shall return EMPG funding in accordance with EMPG
program guidelines.
Article VI. Indemnification and Liabilities
1. Indemnification by City
In lieu of and notwithstanding the pro rata risk allocation that might otherwise be imposed between the
parties under Government Code section 895.6, County and City agree instead that under Government
Code section 895.4, City shall fully indemnify and hold County, its officers, board members, employees,
and agents, harmless from any claim, expense or cost, damage or liability imposed for injury (as defined
by Government Code section 810.8) occurring by reason of the negligent acts or omissions or willful
misconduct of City, its officers, board members, employees or agents, under or in connection with or
arising out of any work, authority or jurisdiction delegated to City under this Agreement. This indemnity
shall include, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, consultants and experts and related costs,
and County’s cost of investigating any claim.
2. Duty to Defend
City acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to defend County under Article V.1: (a) is an immediate
obligation, independent of its other obligations under this Agreement; and (b) applies to any claim,
expense, cost, damage, or liability falling within the scope of Article V.1, regardless of whether the
allegations made in connection with that claim, expense, cost, damage, or liability may be groundless,
false, or fraudulent. County shall provide City with prompt notice of any claim, expense, cost, damage,
or liability under Article V.1 and City shall have the right to defend, settle, or compromise that claim,
expense, cost, damage, or liability, provided, however, that County shall have the right to retain its own
counsel at City’s expense if representation of County by counsel retained by City would result in a
conflict of interest, and that City shall obtain County’s prior written consent to settle or compromise if
City contends that County shares in any liability. County’s failure to notify City promptly of any claim,
expense, cost, damage, or liability shall not relieve City of liability to County under Article V.1 unless
that failure materially impairs City’s ability to defend against the claim, expense, cost, damage, or
liability.

liability occurring by reason of the negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of City, its officers,
board members, employees, or agents, under or in connection with or arising out of any work, authority
or jurisdiction delegated to City under this Agreement.
County’s obligations under this Agreement shall be limited to the aggregate amount of EMPG funds
actually disbursed. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or any other document or
communication between County and City relating to this Agreement, in no event shall County be liable
for any damages arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the EMPG funds, City’s Spend
Plan, or any activities performed in connection with this Agreement.

original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

California Political Reform Act (California Government Code section 87100 et. seq.) and the regulations
of the Fair Political Practices Commission concerning disclosure and disqualification (2 California Code
of Regulations section 18700 et. seq.). Failure to do so constitutes a material breach of this Agreement
and is grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement by the County. In accepting this
Agreement, City covenants that is presently has no interest and shall not acquire any interest, direct or
indirect, financial or otherwise, which would conflict in any manner or degree with the performance of
services under this Agreement. City is responsible for assuring compliance of its subcontractors, if any,
with the requirements of this provision.
If applicable, City and its agents shall comply with California Government Code section 84308 (“Levine
Act”) and the applicable regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission concerning campaign
disclosure (2 California Code of Regulations sections 18438.1 – 18438.8), which (1) require a party to
a proceeding involving a contract to disclose on the record of the proceeding any contribution, as defined
by Government Code section 84308(a)(6), of more than $250 that the party or their agent has made
within the prior 12 months, and (2) prohibit a party to a proceeding involving a contract from making a
contribution, as defined by Government Code section 84308(a)(6), of more than $250 to any County
officer during the proceeding and for 12 months following the final decision in the proceeding.

14. Contracting Principles
All entities that contract with the County to provide services where the contract value is $100,000 or

responsible entities and shall treat their employees fairly. To ensure compliance with these contracting
principles, the City and all contractors shall: (1) comply with all applicable federal, state and local rules,
regulations and laws; (2) maintain financial records, and make those records available upon request; (3)
provide to the County copies of any financial audits that have been completed during the term of the

of the City, to facilities, financial and employee records that are related to the purpose of the contract,
except where prohibited by federal or state laws, regulations or rules.
15. California Public Records Act
County and City are public agencies subject to the disclosure requirements of the California Public
Records Act (“CPRA”). If either County’s or City’s proprietary information is contained in documents
or information submitted to the other party, and the submitting party claims that such information falls
within one or more CPRA exemptions, the submitting party must clearly mark such information
“CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY,” and identify the specific lines containing the information.
In the event of a request for such information, the receiving party will make best efforts to provide notice
to the submitting party prior to such disclosure. If the submitting party contends that any documents are
exempt from the CPRA and wishes to prevent disclosure, it is required to obtain a protective order,
injunctive relief or other appropriate remedy from a court of law in Santa Clara County before the
receiving party is required to respond to the CPRA request. If the submitting party fails to obtain such
remedy within the time the receiving party is required to respond to the CPRA request, the receiving
party may disclose the requested information.

other than the parties.

indemnification of County; (2) relating to the California Public Records Act; (3) relating to County
Data; and (4) relating to City’s obligations upon termination or expiration of this Agreement.

I F. Project Description/Justification
- Briefly describe exactly what the project entails (including any equipment purchases or
contracting that will be necessary for the project). Please also describe how the project is
expected to impact (improve/sustain) the Core Capability(ies) and restore the Community
Lifelines identified above.
This project enables Operational Area emergency managers to fully leverage data
communication capabilities and sharing of critical information in their EOCs. Laptops and other
computers support response and mitigation during emergencies and disasters via common
operating picture and resource management web-based programs such as Web EOC, HSIN,
COPLink, Mutualink, etc. as well as by supporting situational awareness.
Eligibility of Operational Area jurisdictions for this funding is based on the following criteria:
Equipment Criteria—Laptops/Computers
• Funding is primarily for replacement of existing EOC laptops/computers that are at least 4
years old.
• Written justification must be provided if funding is requested for additional laptop capacity
(i.e. non-replacement laptops) in the City/Town EOC. This written justification must
identify the specific EOC needs the additional laptop(s) would provide for as well as
specifically how the laptop will be used in the EOC during an activation. These requests
will be evaluated and approved on an individual basis.
• Funding is limited to a maximum of $2,000 per computing device (including all
peripherals, tax and shipping).
• Grant funds generally cannot be used to purchase warranties, maintenance/service
agreements, or software that aren’t bundled/included with the laptop unless preapproved.
• Any computing device purchased under this project must be capable of running
WebEOC—e.g. able to connect to the city/town network and run the necessary browser or
other software to access WebEOC.
Equipment Criteria—Projectors/Screens/Monitors/Displays/Printers/Laminators/Switches/
Networking/Audio or Visual Communications Equipment (e.g. speakers, microphones, cameras,
mixers, etc.)
DocuSign Envelope ID: DDF13768-DD5E-457B-9F81-81B7ACD084BB
FY23-Project Request-EMPG EOC TechnologyTechnology 3
• Each piece of equipment under this category must be fully described including both
equipment quantities and specifications (e.g. 2 50” displays), where in the EOC it will be
mounted/ located (e.g. North wall) and how it will be used (e.g. to provide situational
awareness, WebEOC status boards, etc.).
• Mounted equipment will require State and Federal Environmental and Historic
Preservation (EHP) approval prior to purchase of equipment. Forms must be submitted as
soon as possible after grant award.
• Cost estimates, including actual bids/pricing information for the equipment must be
provided to the grant manager for review and approval. The overall EOC technology
project budget may require prioritization of individual jurisdiction’s specific technology
projects.
Satellite Phones
• Satellite phone equipment for emergency communication with the City/Town or County
EOC may be purchased though the City/Town will be responsible for paying for satellite
phone service and any phone maintenance or repair.
City/Town Criteria
• The City/Town must email their intent to use EMPG funding for computing devices—along
with the number and type (e.g. laptop) of devices and any required justifications—by
September 30, 2023.
• Each City/Town must enter into an MOU with the County for the computers by July 31,
2024.
• Each City/Town must procure any approved laptops/computers under an existing
competitive contract OR obtain bids (at least 2) in accordance with local (City/Town) and

IV B. Project Outcomes
- Describe the outcomes and benefits that will be achieved as a result of this project. The
outcomes should address specific community lifelines.
EOC laptops and EOC equipment will increase the ability for first responders and emergency
managers to effectively collect and provide information and data throughout the operational
area and region. In addition, they enhance local emergency managers’ abilities to respond to
and mitigate the emergency or disaster. Laptops must meet minimum standard requirements to
support WebEOC, HSIN, COPLink, and WebLink as well as other websites and software that
may be needed in a disaster.
A laminator with the capacity to create large sized documents and maps provides staff with the
ability to quickly create operational maps and charts when a hazard occurs. Maps and charts of
relevant information, such as the location of the city’s power lines, can be made in advance
and prepared so that in an emergent situation they can be quickly accessed and used.
Enhanced technology in EOCs create more efficient and effective Emergency Operations
Center. The equipment will be interoperable with existing communications systems, enabling
live updates during hazard events. Situational awareness will be available to all EOC personnel
at all times, with multiple screens in various strategic locations around the room projecting and
sharing updated information for events throughout the City/Town as well as the region.
Updated technology facilitates the exchange of real time data with outside agencies and
provides timely communication and notification to the public when a hazard occurs.

IV C. Project Deliverables
- Describe the specific deliverables that will be produced as a result of this project.
EOC laptops for jurisdictions within the Operational Area capable of supporting and
displaying WebEOC, HSIN, COPLink, and WebLink as well as the other work of an
Emergency Operations Center during a disaster.
EOC displays (projector, monitor, wall maps, etc.) will be upgraded to facilitate better
situational awareness and to communicate a common operating picture within the EOC as well
as facilitate interoperable communication with the public and outside agencies.
New and upgraded audio and visual equipment enhances communication with entities outside
the primary EOC location whether during virtual EOC operations (such as during the
pandemic) or in coordination with other EOCs, Department Operations Centers (DOCs),
Incident Command Posts (ICPs), or others.
