A.2 BACKGROUND
A. Project Description
Harrison Hope Center Scope of Services
GRANTEE is proposing to utilize SLFRF funds to pay a portion of the costs to reimburse the City of Corona for the renovation of the Harrison HOPE Center. The City of Corona invested $3 million in Phase I and Phase II renovations. The renovations were recently completed in May 2023 with the Center opening in June 2023. The County will reimburse the City of Corona for $1 million of the $3 million costs for the renovation of the Harrison Hope Center. The $1 million grant will be used to fund the operation of the Harrison Hope Center System of Services.
The scope of the project resulted in the replacement and/or addition of new roof shingles and sheathing, addition of new facility components including but not limited to an onsite clinic in the west wing of the building, a dog run shelter, security system enhancements, mandated Americans with Disabilities ACT (ADA) improvements in bathrooms, showers, kitchen and other places in the facility and replacement of all 4 exterior ADA access ramps, interior and exterior paint, new floor coverings, fencing,
landscaping, storage lockers, parking lot slurry seal, interior murals, new appliances for the kitchen and laundry room, new countertops in the bathrooms, new HVAC systems, commercial generator installation, enhanced fire safety and protection system and other renovations that transformed the functionality and life of the facility.
The newly renovated Harrison HOPE Center is a 40-bed low-barrier emergency shelter/navigation center that has an onsite Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) clinic providing medical, behavioral health, post hospital recuperative care, and oral care services as well as a success center for computer learning, job development and other services, plus many other amenities including accommodations for pets, client storage, and a full-service kitchen for meals. The City of Corona developed the Harrison HOPE Center as part of an overall Homeless System of Services that includes: Permanent supportive housing, tenant based rental assistance, post hospital recuperative care, and a transportation/meal program that provides day services to non-shelter guests and other services that make up this comprehensive system of service. The Project is located at 420 West Harrison Street, Corona CA, more specifically known as Assessor’s Parcel Number 119-290-049 (“Property”), and as more specifically described in the legal description attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A; and

Contractor Debarment Certification Form
Excluded Parties Lists System (EPLS)
The purpose of EPLS is to provide a single comprehensive list of individuals and firms excluded by Federal government agencies from receiving federal contracts or federally approved subcontracts and from certain types of federal financial and nonfinancial assistance and benefits.
The EPLS was established to ensure that agencies solicit offers from, award contracts, grants, or financial or nonfinancial assistance and benefits to, and consent to subcontracts with responsible contractors/vendors only and not allow a party to participate in any affected program if any Executive department or agency has debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded (to the extent specified in the exclusion action) that party from participation in an affected program.
In July 2012, all records from CCR/FedReg, ORCA, and EPLS, active or expired, were moved to the System for Award Management (SAM). SAM is a Federal Government owned and operated free web site that consolidates the capabilities in CCR/FedReg, ORCA, and EPLS.
The County of Riverside requires that each contractor/vendor hold the required federal/state/local license for the service provided.
Please complete the following verification process for each contractor/vendor:
STEP 1: Visit https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/
STEP 2: Under “Search Records”, enter the company name and press enter.
STEP 3: Click “Print” on the Search Results page.
STEP 4: Repeat steps 2 & 3 for variations of the name of contractor/vendor (individual last name or firm).
STEP 5: Attach print out of search results to this certification as supporting documentation.
STEP 6: Attach to this certification as supporting documentation a copy of contractor/vendor license for the service provided.
By signing below ARPA Recipient, developer name, has verified the contractor/vendor known as, name of contractor/vendor, was not listed in the Excluded Parties Lists System and has the required contractor/vendor license as of date of verification.

This Covenant shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.

site inspections of ARPA-Assisted Units to determine compliance with the property standards.
The on-site inspections shall occur within 12 months after execution of the Covenant Agreement and at least once every 3 years thereafter during the Affordability Period. If there are observed deficiencies for any of the inspectable items in the property standards established by COUNTY, a follow-up on-site inspection to verify that deficiencies are corrected must occur within 12 months. COUNTY may establish a list of non-hazardous deficiencies for which correction can be verified by third party documentation (e.g., paid invoice for work order) rather than re-inspection.
Health and safety deficiencies must be corrected immediately. COUNTY must adopt a more frequent inspection schedule for properties that have been found to have health and safety deficiencies. The OWNER must annually certify to the COUNTY that each building and all ARPA-Assisted Units in the project are suitable for occupancy, taking into account State and local health, safety, and other applicable codes, ordinances, and requirements, and the ongoing property standards established by the participating jurisdiction. Inspections must be based on a statistically valid sample of units appropriate for the size of the COUNTY ARPA-Assisted Project, as set forth by HUD through notice.
23) ACCESS TO PROJECT SITE. Representatives of the COUNTY and the Federal or State awarding agencies shall have the right of access to the Property, upon 24 hours’ written notice to OWNER (except in the case of an emergency, in which case COUNTY and/or the Federal or State awarding agency shall provide such notice as may be practical under the circumstances), without charges or fees, during normal business hours to review the operation of the Project in accordance with this Covenant and the ARPA Grant Agreement. 24) COUNTERPARTS. This Covenant may be signed by the different parties hereto in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
25) Recitals. The Recitals set forth above are true and correct and incorporated herein by this reference.
