Amendment 1
7) METHOD OF PAYMENT. After the disbursement requirements in Paragraph 4, “Basic Conditions” are met, the State will disburse the whole or portions of State funding to the Grantee, following receipt from the Grantee of an electronic invoice certified and transmitted via electronic/digital signature system (e.g., DocuSign) or via US mail or Express mail delivery of a “wet signature” for costs incurred, including Local Cost Share, and timely Quarterly Progress Reports as required by Paragraph 12, “Submission of Reports.” Payment will be made no more frequently than quarterly, in arrears, upon receipt of an invoice bearing the Grant Agreement number. Quarterly Progress Report must accompany an invoice ($0 Invoices are acceptable) and shall be submitted within 60 days following the end of the calendar quarter (i.e., invoices due May 30, August 29, November 29, and March 1). The State will notify the Grantee, in a timely manner, whenever, upon review of an invoice, the State determines that any portion or portions of the costs claimed are not eligible costs or is not supported by documentation or receipts acceptable to the State. The Grantee may, within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of receipt of such notice, submit additional documentation to the State to cure such deficiency(ies). If the Grantee fails to submit adequate documentation curing the deficiency(ies), the State will adjust the pending invoice by the amount of ineligible or unapproved costs.

Invoices submitted by the Grantee shall include the following information:

A. Costs incurred for work performed in implementing the Project during the period identified in the particular invoice.

B. Costs incurred for any interests in real property (land or easements) that have been necessarily acquired for a project during the period identified in the particular invoice for the implementation of a project.

C. Invoices shall be submitted on forms provided by the State and shall meet the following format requirements:
i. Invoices shall contain the date of the invoice, either the time period covered by the invoice or the invoice date received within the time period covered, and the total amount due. ii. Invoices shall be itemized based on the categories (i.e., tasks) specified in Exhibit B, “Budget.” The amount claimed for salaries/wages/consultant fees shall include a calculation formula (i.e., hours or days worked times the hourly or daily rate = the total amount claimed). iii. One set of sufficient evidence (i.e., receipts, copies of checks, personnel hours’ summary table, time sheets) shall be provided for all costs included in the invoice. iv. Each invoice shall clearly delineate those costs claimed for reimbursement from the State’s funding amount, as depicted in Paragraph 3, “Grant Amount”.
v. Original signature and date of the Grantee’s Project Representative. Submit an electronic invoice, certified and transmitted via electronic/digital signature system (e.g., DocuSign), from authorized representative to the Project Manager or the original “wet signature” copy of the invoice form to the Project Manager at the following address: Financial Assistance Branch, DWR, P.O. Box 942836, Sacramento, CA 94236.

All invoices submitted shall be accurate and signed under penalty of law. Any and all costs submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall only be for the tasks set forth herein. The Grantee shall not submit any invoice containing costs that are ineligible or have been reimbursed from other funding sources unless required and specifically noted as such (i.e., cost share). Any eligible costs for which the Grantee is seeking reimbursement shall not be reimbursed from any other source. Double or multiple billing for time, services, or any other eligible cost is illegal and constitutes fraud. Any suspected occurrences of fraud, forgery, embezzlement, theft, or any other misuse of public funds may result in suspension of disbursements of grant funds and/or termination of this Agreement requiring the repayment of all funds disbursed hereunder plus interest. Additionally, the State may request an audit pursuant to Paragraph D.5 and refer the matter to the Attorney General’s Office or the appropriate district attorney’s office for criminal prosecution or the imposition of civil liability.

Amendment 1
8) ADVANCED PAYMENT. Water Code section 13198.4(c) authorizes advanced payment by the State for grantees that demonstrate a cash flow issues. A project may receive an advanced payment of twenty-five (25) percent of its grant award; the remaining seventy-five (75) percent of the grant award will be reimbursed in arrears after the advanced funds have been fully expended. Within ninety (90) calendar days of execution of the Grant Agreement, the Grantee may provide the State an Advanced Payment Request. Advanced Payment Requests received ninety-one (91) calendar days after the execution of this Agreement will not be eligible to receive an advanced payment. The Advanced Payment Request shall contain the following:

A. Documentation demonstrating that each LPS (if different from the Grantee, as listed in Exhibit I) was notified about their eligibility to receive an advanced payment and a response from the LPS stating whether it wishes to receive the advanced payment or not.

B. If the Grantee is requesting the advanced payment, the request(s) shall include:
i. Descriptive information of each project with an update on project status ii. Description and documentation of the cash flow issues the LPS has that requires funds to be advanced
iii. The names of the entities that will receive the funding for each project iv.

The Funding Plan must clearly identify the total budget (at Budget Category Level) for each project clearly showing the portion of advanced payment and reimbursement funds. v. Any other information that DWR may deem necessary
C. Upon review and approval of the Advanced Payment Request, DWR may authorize payment of the requested amount or a lesser amount for those entities that have requested advanced funds. Based on the project’s Funding Plan and other considerations, DWR may develop a “Disbursement Schedule,” to disburse funds in installments. This Disbursement Schedule may change based on the project’s ongoing compliance with the Advanced Payment requirements and the project’s cash flow needs.

D. Once DWR authorizes the Advanced Payment Request, the Grantee shall submit Advanced Payment Invoice(s) for the initial amount based on the “Disbursement Schedule” on behalf of the LPS(s), containing the request for each project requesting advanced funds, to the State with signature and date of the Grantee’s Project Representative, as indicated in Paragraph 18, “Project Representative.” The Grantee shall be responsible for the timely distribution of the advanced funds to the respective LPS(s).

The Advanced Payment Invoice(s) shall be submitted on forms provided by the State and shall meet the following format requirements:
i. Invoice shall contain the date of the invoice, the time period covered by the invoice, and the total amount due.
ii. Invoice shall be itemized based on the budget categories specified in Exhibit B, “Budget.” iii. The State Project Manager will notify the Grantee, in a timely manner, when, upon review of an Advance Payment Invoice, the State determines that any portion or portions of the costs claimed are not eligible costs. The Grantee may, within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of receipt of such notice, submit additional documentation to cure such deficiency(ies). The Grantee may, within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of receipt of such notice, submit additional documentation to cure such deficiency(ies). If costs are not consistent with the tasks in Exhibit A, the State will reject the claim and remove them from the Accountability Report.
iv. On a quarterly basis, the Grantee will submit an Accountability Report to the State that demonstrates how actual expenditures compare with the scheduled budget. The Accountability Report shall include the following information:

Grant Agreement No. 4600014457

Amendment 1

1. An itemization of how advanced funds have been spent to-date (Expenditure Report), including documentation that supports the disbursements (e.g., contractor invoices, receipts, personnel hours, etc.). Accountability Reports shall be itemized based on the budget categories (i.e., tasks) specified in Exhibit B.

2. An updated Accountability Report including an updated Funding Plan that depicts how the remaining advanced funds will be expended and the activities and deliverables associated with the advanced funds within the timeframe agreed upon by DWR and the Grantee when the advanced payment request was approved.

3. Documentation that the funds were placed in a non-interest bearing account, including the dates of deposits and withdrawals from that account.

4.Proof of distribution of advanced funds to LPS(s), if applicable.

E. Once the Grantee has spent all advanced funds in a budget category, then the method of payment will revert to the reimbursement process for that budget category specified in Paragraph 7, “Method of Payment for Reimbursement.”
9) WITHHOLDING OF DISBURSEMENTS BY THE STATE. If the State determines that a project is not being implemented in accordance with the provisions of this Grant Agreement, or that the Grantee has failed in any other respect to comply with the provisions of this Grant Agreement, and if the Grantee does not remedy any such failure to the State’s satisfaction, the State may withhold from the Grantee all or any portion of the State funding and take any other action that it deems necessary to protect its interests. Where a portion of the State funding has been disbursed to the Grantee and the State notifies the Grantee of its decision not to release funds that have been withheld pursuant to Paragraph 10, “Default Provisions,” the portion that has been disbursed shall thereafter be repaid immediately at the time the State notifies the Grantee, as directed by the State. The State may consider the Grantee’s refusal to repay the requested disbursed amount a material breach subject to the default provisions in Paragraph 10, “Default Provisions.” If the State notifies the Grantee of its decision to withhold the entire funding amount from the Grantee pursuant to this Paragraph, this Grant Agreement shall terminate upon receipt of such notice by the Grantee and the State shall no longer be required to provide funds under this Grant Agreement and the Grant Agreement shall no longer be binding on either party.

Construction activities are outlined below.
11(a): Mobilization and Demobilization for Drilling. This includes the drill rig, baker tanks, hoses, and a construction meter. No sound barriers are anticipated since this Project will be located in a remote location (Phase 1).
11(b): Site preparation: The proposed Project will drill the replacement M-12A well on the same City- owned property as the abandoned M-12 well; hydrogeologic design and inspection services will be used during well drilling and testing (Phase 1). T he final well design will be based on the water quality results from depth-dependent testing (spinner test) and geophysical well logging from Phase 1; much of the existing infrastructure, including piping and electrical equipment can be reused (Phase 2); . 11(c): The estimated capacity for this new well is approximately 1,100 GPM or 1.4 MGD of quality drinking water. After drilling and testing, Engineering services will be used to finish the Well Equipping design and specification which includes the new pump, motor, well building, installation of electrical connections and Supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA), and underground piping connections for Phase

2. The sizing of equipment is dependent upon the final production capacity of the well which is determined after the casing and gravel pack are installed, well development, and step draw-down testing is completed.
11(d): Mobilization and Demobilization for Equipping. Due to the length of the Project, a construction trailer and portable toilets will likely be needed during mobilization and for the duration of the Project (Phase 1 and Phase 2).
11(e): Below-ground piping and conduit runs will be constructed first, followed by the building foundation. 11(f): Well Building will be built, with provisions for bringing in equipment later by having a removable roof (Phase 2).
11(g): Installation of pump, discharge header, electric motor, electrical runs and instrumentation. It is anticipated that the electrical and SCADA panels can remain at their current locations, but it may be that the design engineer recommends bringing some of that equipment inside the building (Phase 2).

This information should be submitted at least 90 days prior to a reimbursement request to account for review time. All appraisal reports, regardless of report format, shall include all applicable Appraisal Specifications below. Appraisals for a total compensation of $150,000 or more shall be reported as a Self-Contained Appraisal Report. Appraisals for a total compensation of less than $150,000 may be reported as a Summary Appraisal Report, which includes all information necessary to arrive at the appraiser’s conclusion. Appraisal Specifications 14, 16, 21, 23-25, and 28 shall be a narrative analysis regardless of the reporting format.

1. Title page with sufficient identification of appraisal assignment.

12. Discussion of any current Agreement of Sale, option, or listing of subject property. This issue required increased diligence since state agencies often utilize non-profit organizations to quickly acquire sensitive habitat parcels using Option Agreements. However, due to confidentiality clauses, the terms of the Option are often not disclosed to the State. If the appraiser discovers evidence of an Option or the possible existence of an Option, and the terms cannot be disclosed due to a confidentiality clause, then the appraiser is to cease work and contact the client.

13. Regional, area, and neighborhood analyses. This information may be presented in a summary format.

14. Market conditions and trends including identification of the relevant market area, a discussion of supply and demand within the relevant market area, and a discussion of the relevant market factors impacting demand for site acquisition and leasing within the relevant market area.

22. All approaches to market value applicable to the property type and in the subject market. Explain and support the exclusion of any usual approaches to value.

23. Map(s) showing all comparable properties in relation to the subject property.

24. Photographs and plat maps of comparable properties.

25. In-depth discussion of comparable properties, similarities and differences compared to the subject property, adjustments to the comparable data, and discussion of the reliability and credibility of the data as it relates to the indicated subject property value. Improved comparable sales which are used to compare to vacant land subject properties shall include an allocation between land and improvements, using methodology similar to methodology used in item 16 above to estimate improvement value when possible, with an explanation of the methodology used.

26. Comparable data sheets.
a. For sales, include information on grantor/Grantee, sale/recordation dates, listed or asking price as of the date of sale, highest and best use, financing, conditions of sale, buyer motivation, sufficient location information (street address, post mile, and/or distance from local landmarks such as bridges, road intersections, structures, etc.), land/site characteristics, improvements, source of any allocation of sale price between land and improvements, and confirming source. b.

27. For appraisals of easements, a before and after analysis of the burden of the easement on the fee, with attention to how the easement affects highest and best use in the after condition. An Easement Valuation Matrix or generalized easement valuation references may be used ONLY as a reference for a secondary basis of value.

INVOICE GUIDANCE FOR ADMINISTRATIVE AND OVERHEAD CHARGES The funds provided pursuant to this Agreement may only be used for costs that are directly related to the funded Project. The following provides a list of typical requirements for invoicing, specifically providing guidance on the appropriate methods for invoicing administrative and direct overhead charges.

Administration Charges
Indirect and General Overhead (i.e., indirect overhead) charges are not an allowable expense for reimbursement. However, administrative expenses that are apportioned directly to the project are eligible for reimbursement. Cost such as rent, office supplies, fringe benefits, etc. can be “Direct Costs” and are eligible expenses as long as:
 There is a consistent, articulated method for how the costs are allocated that is submitted and approved by the Grant Manager. The allocation method must be fully documented for auditors.  A “fully-burdened labor rate” can be used to capture allowable administrative costs.  The administrative/overhead costs can never include:
o Non-project specific personnel and accounting services performed within the Grantee or an LPS’ organization
o Generic markup
o Tuition
o Conference fees
o Building and equipment depreciation or use allowances  Using a general overhead percentage is never allowed
Labor Rates
The Grantee must provide DWR with supporting documentation for personnel hours (see personnel billing rates letter in example invoice packet). The personnel rate letter should be submitted to the DWR Grant Manager prior to submittal of the first invoice. The supporting documentation must include, at a minimum, employee classifications that will reimbursed by grant funds and the corresponding hourly rate range. These rates should be “burdened”; the burdened rate must be consistent with the Grantee’s/Local Project Sponsors standardized allocation methodology. The supporting documentation should also provide an explanation of what costs make up the burdened rate and how those costs were determined. This information will be used to compare against personnel hours summary table invoice back up documentation. Periodic updates may be needed during the life of the grant which would be handled through a revised billing rate letter.
