ITEM # 18

CITY OF MONTEBELLO

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager

BY: Cesar Roldan, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO AGREEMENT NO. 4000 WITH

LOCHNER
DATE: June 10, 2026
RECOMMENDATIONS:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Approve Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 4000 between the City of Montebello and Lochner, formally known as KOA, for a One (1) Year Extension; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 2 on behalf of the City; and

3. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Lochner currently provides citywide on-call architectural and engineering design services to the City of Montebello on an as-needed basis. Staff is recommending the approval and execution of Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 4000 (Attachment A), which would extend the term of the agreement by one (1) additional year, through June 30, 2027. The contract’s not-to-exceed amount will remain unchanged at Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000).

The agreement is administered by the Department of Public Works and is supported through a combination of funding sources, including Measure R, Measure M, Proposition A, Proposition C, and Gas Tax.

Lochner is currently providing engineering support for several active Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs), including the Traffic Signal on Whittier Boulevard and 6th Street and the

Page 142 of 458 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF JUNE 10, 2026

Page 2 of 3 ends

Olympic Boulevard Feasibility Study. Additionally, Lochner was retained by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) to provide design services for the Whittier Boulevard Bridge and Wayfinding Signage Project, in which the City is a participating agency. These complex, multi-phase projects require continuity in professional services to ensure successful completion. Extending the agreement by one year will enable Lochner to provide ongoing technical support and project management assistance necessary to close out these and other key infrastructure initiatives.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

On July 1, 2022, the City of Montebello entered into Agreement No. 4000 with KOA to provide professional on-call engineering services. In December 2022, KOA was acquired by Lochner (Attachment D). As such, all contracts pertaining to KOA are now under the purview of Lochner.

Agreement No. 4000 was the result of a formal competitive selection process conducted through Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 22-08, which sought qualified consultants to support the City’s CIPs. The original agreement was structured as a three-year term, expiring on June 30, 2025, with the option to extend the contract for up to two additional one-year terms at the City’s discretion. The first one-year contract extension was exercised on June 11, 2025 (Attachment B). Staff now recommends exercising the final one-year extension option, which would extend the agreement term to June 30, 2027.

Since the agreement’s inception, Lochner has consistently delivered high-quality engineering services to the City on an as-needed basis. Their scope of services includes, but is not limited to, civil and structural design, plan review, traffic engineering, cost estimating, and project management support. Notably, the firm has played a significant role in several key CIP projects, such as the Traffic Signal Design for Whittier Boulevard and 6th Street and various citywide infrastructure improvements. Given their ongoing involvement and familiarity with the City’s processes, procedures, and project history, the continuity of Lochner’s services is critical to the timely and successful completion of these efforts.

In light of their performance and the continuing need for their services, staff recommend exercising the last one-year extension option as outlined in Section 1 of Agreement No. 4000 (Attachment C). Approval of Amendment No. 2 will formally extend the agreement term through June 30, 2027, under the same terms and conditions. This extension will ensure that the City retains experienced and capable engineering support as it advances on-going CIPs.

SUMMARY:

The not-to-exceed amount of this agreement will remain unchagned and sufficient funding for the services provided by Lochner are included in the proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget.

ITEM # 19

CITY OF MONTEBELLO

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager

BY: Cesar Roldan, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: AWARD PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT NO. 4513 TO J&S STRIPING COMPANY, INC. FOR THE PROVISION OF CITYWIDE

STRIPING SERVICES
DATE: June 10, 2026
RECOMMENDATIONS:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Award Professional Services Agreement No. 4513 to J&S Striping Company, Inc. for the provision of Citywide street striping, pavement marking, and roadway legend services in a not-to-exceed amount of $650,000 per year; and

2. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Agreement No. 4513 will be funded through Gas Tax funds, consistent with prior years’ roadway maintenance programs. The annual, not-to-exceed contract amount of $650,000 has been included in the City’s proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget allocation for pavement marking and striping services. This agreement is for a three year term (expiring June 30, 2029), and subsequent budgets will include $650,000 in appropriations for annual expenses.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

The City of Montebello is responsible for the maintenance of approximately 142 miles of public streets, which includes traffic lane striping, crosswalks, stop bars, directional arrows, and other roadway legends. Proper pavement markings enhance traffic safety, improve visibility, and ensure compliance with federal, state, and local traffic regulations.

Page 168 of 458 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF JUNE 10, 2026

Page 2 of 3 ends

On April 23, 2026, the City issued Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 26-10 seeking qualified contractors to provide on-call citywide striping and pavement marking services.

The previous contract for these services has concluded, and the City initiated this competitive procurement process to ensure transparency, cost effectiveness, and continued service quality.

The RFP scope included installation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of roadway markings, coordination with City staff and the public, quality assurance and reporting, and project closeout services. The City received four (4) proposals and evaluated them based on the following criteria:
• Qualifications and experience (65%)
• Reputation and references (15%)
• Proposed cost (20%)
Following review of submitted proposals and reference checks, staff identified J&S Striping Company, Inc. as the most qualified and responsive proposer, demonstrating strong experience with municipal striping projects, including comparable work for other Southern California cities.

Although the proposer’s submitted bid totaled approximately $969,087, staff engaged in scope and cost discussions with the contractor to align services with available funding and the City’s anticipated workload under an on-call contract structure. These discussions resulted in a mutually agreeable and amicable negotiation process, culminating in a reduced not-to-exceed contract amount of $650,000, consistent with the City’s budget and operational needs.

The contractor agreed to the revised scope and compensation structure without dispute, and staff found the final agreement to reflect fair market value for the services to be provided.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

N/A
ANALYSIS:

Awarding this agreement (Attachment A) ensures the City will continue to maintain safe, visible, and compliant roadway markings throughout the municipal street system. Key benefits include:
• Improved traffic safety and roadway visibility
• Compliance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations • Efficient on-call response for maintenance and restriping needs • Cost-effective service delivery within the approved budget • Continuity of experienced municipal striping services provider

Page 169 of 458 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF JUNE 10, 2026

Page 3 of 3 ends

J&S Striping demonstrated strong qualifications, responsive scope understanding, and relevant municipal experience. Staff also notes that the contractor was cooperative and solution-oriented during contract finalization discussions, allowing the City to achieve a cost structure aligned with available funding while maintaining full service requirements.

SUMMARY:

Staff recommends awarding Agreement No. 4513 (Attachment A) to J&S Striping Company, Inc. for citywide striping, pavement marking, and roadway legend services in an amount not-to-exceed $650,000 annually. The agreement is for an initial three (3) year term, expiring in June 30, 2029, with the option to renew for two (2) additional one (1) year terms. The negotiated agreement provides the City with a qualified contractor, costeffective pricing, and continued high-quality maintenance of roadway safety markings throughout Montebello. The proposed FY 2026-27 budget includes sufficient funding for these services in the Gas Tax Fund (Fund 200).

City of Montebello
Attn: Principal Risk Officer
1600 West Beverly Boulevard
Montebello, CA 90640
Email: [email protected]
Coverage shall not be suspended, voided, cancelled, reduced in coverage or in limits, non-renewed, or materially changed for any reason, without thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof given by the insurer to the CITY by U.S. mail, or by personal delivery, except for nonpayment of premiums, in which case ten (10) days prior notice shall be provided.
g. Evidence of Insurance during the entire term of the Agreement.

j. The insurance provided by the CONTRACTOR shall be primary to any

Page 177 of 458 ends

No such subcontract, delegation or assignment shall result in any increase in the amount of total compensation payable to the CONTRACTOR under the Agreement.

CITY OF MONTEBELLO

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager

BY: Fernando Pelaez, Fire Chief
Andrew Kim, Senior Management Analyst
SUBJECT: APPROVE SUBMISSION OF AN APPLICATION FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2025 ASSISTANCE TO FIREFIGHTERS GRANT (AFG)

PROGRAM FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT EQUIPMENT
DATE: June 10, 2026
RECOMMENDATIONS:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Authorize submission of an application to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the Fiscal Year 2025 Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program for the purchase of fire department equipment; and

2. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT:

At this time, there is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action to submit an application for the Fiscal Year 2025 Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program.

If awarded, the AFG Program requires a local cost share contribution. Based on the City of Montebello’s population category, the City would likely be required to provide a local match equal to approximately 10% of the total project cost, with the remaining 90% funded through the federal grant program.

The exact grant amount and required local match are not known at this time and will depend on the final project scope and grant award amount. Staff will return to the City Council for authorization to accept grant funding, approve any required budget amendments, and appropriate matching funds if the grant is awarded.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

The Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program is administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and provides funding to fire departments and emergency response agencies for equipment, training, and resources intended to enhance operational readiness and firefighter safety.

The Montebello Fire Department is seeking authorization to apply for Fiscal Year 2025 AFG funding to purchase fire department equipment such as thermal imaging cameras, auto extrication equipment, and extrication stabilization struts. The requested equipment would improve operational readiness, enhance firefighter and victim safety, and support the Department’s ability to effectively respond to emergencies involving structure fires, vehicle collisions, rescue incidents, and technical rescue operations throughout the community.

The AFG Program is highly competitive and prioritizes projects that demonstrate operational need, firefighter safety benefits, and deficiencies in existing equipment and resources. Staff believes the proposed project is consistent with the program’s operational and safety funding priorities.

If awarded, staff will return to the City Council for authorization to accept the grant award, approve any required budget amendments, and execute any necessary procurement documents associated with the project.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

N/A
ANALYSIS:

The proposed grant application supports the Fire Department’s ongoing efforts to improve firefighter safety, operational readiness, and emergency response capabilities.

The acquisition of thermal imaging cameras, rescue tools, and stabilization equipment would enhance the Department’s ability to safely conduct fire suppression, search and rescue, vehicle extrication, and technical rescue operations.

Providing firefighters with improved thermal imaging technology would assist personnel with identifying fire conditions, locating victims, improving visibility in low-visibility environments, and reducing exposure to hazardous conditions during emergency operations. Additionally, replacement and modernization of rescue and extrication equipment would improve the Department’s ability to safely stabilize vehicles and structures during rescue incidents while reducing operational risks to firefighters and members of the public.

The proposed project is consistent with the goals of the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program by enhancing firefighter safety, improving operational effectiveness, and strengthening emergency response capabilities within the City of Montebello.

in such instance to follow the procedures, and tha the welfare of the public would be promoted by dispensing with the same."
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

The Fiscal Year 2024 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) is one of three grant programs that constitute the Department of Homeland Security -- Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA) focus on enhancing the ability of state, local, tribal, and territorial governments to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from terrorist attacks. These grant programs are part of a comprehensive set of measures authorized by Congress and implemented by DHS to help strengthen the nation’s communities against potential terrorist attacks. Among the five basic homeland security missions noted in the DHS Strategic Plan, HSGP supports the goal of "Strengthen National Preparedness and Resilience."
The City has been awarded funds through the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP). SHSP assists state, local, tribal, and territorial efforts to build, sustain, and deliver the capabilities necessary to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism.

The State (Governors Office of Emergency Services - Cal-OES), provides the funds to the County of Los Angeles as its Subgrantee, and the County Chief Executive Office (CEO) is responsible for managing and overseeing the SHSP funds that are distributed to other specified jurisdictions within Los Angeles County. The CEO has now distributed 2024 SHSP grant funds to the City in the amount of $50,000. To facilitate this effort, the County of Los Angeles requires a formal Sub-Recipient Agreement (SRA) with the City of Montebello (Attachment A). The SRA outlines the requirements of the grant and provides the guidelines to follow for SHSP reimbursement of eligible expenses.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

N/A
ANALYSIS:

The City of Montebello has been approved to receive $50,000 from the SHSP Fiscal Year 2024 Funds. This funding has been approved for use by the Police Department to procure a Polaris Ranger. The Montebello Police Department is requesting the purchase of a Polaris Ranger to enhance operational capabilities in areas that are inaccessible or difficult to reach with standard patrol vehicles. The vehicle will be used to patrol riverbeds, open spaces, and other off-road locations where criminal activity, transient encampments, and emergency incidents may occur.

The Polaris Ranger will improve response times, increase officer access to remote areas, support ongoing crime suppression efforts, and allow for proactive patrols and routine security checks. This specialized vehicle will strengthen the Department's ability to protect public safety and respond effectively to emergencies throughout the City.

a. Overview
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) is one of the three grant programs that constitute the DHS/FEMA focus on enhancing the ability of state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, as well as nonprofits, to prevent, protect against, and respond to terrorist attacks. These grant programs are part of a comprehensive set of measures authorized by Congress and implemented by DHS to help strengthen the Nation’s communities against potential terrorist attacks.

In FY 2024, there are three components of the HSGP:

Page 251 of 458 ends

6 FY 2024 HSGP NOFO
1) State Homeland Security Program ( SHSP): SHSP assists state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) efforts to build, sustain, and deliver the capabilities necessary to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism.
2) Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI): UASI assists high-threat, high-density Urban Area efforts to build, sustain, and deliver the capabilities necessary to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism. 3) Operation Stonegarden ( OPSG): OPSG supports enhanced cooperation and coordination among Customs and Border Protection (CBP), United States Border Patrol ( USBP), and federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies to improve overall border security. OPSG provides funding to support joint efforts to secure the United States’ borders along routes of ingress/egress to and from international borders, to include travel corridors in states bordering Mexico and Canada, as well as states and territories with international water borders. SLTT law enforcement agencies utilize their inherent law enforcement authorities to support the border security mission and do not receive any additional authority by participating in OPSG.

Finally, for FY 2024, DHS is focused on the criticality of information sharing and collaboration to building a national culture of preparedness and protecting against terrorism and other threats to our national security. The threats to our nation have evolved during the past two decades. We now face continuous cyber threats by sophisticated actors, threats to soft targets and crowded places, and threats from domestic violent extremists, who represent one of the most persistent threats to the nation1. Therefore, for FY 2024, DHS has identified six priority areas (see Section A.10.b) related to the most serious threats to the nation, as well as required minimum funding allocations.

For a full list of SHSP and UASI recipients and a breakdown of OPSG funding by state for FY 2023, please refer to Information Bulletin ( IB) 490a. b. Goals, Objectives, and Priorities
Goal: The HSGP will fund SLTT efforts and strengthen capabilities of SLTT governments to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to terrorist attacks and other threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk to the security of the United States.

Objectives: HSGP provides resources that support eligible SLTT governments; highdensity urban areas, and SLTT law enforcement along international land/ water borders and travel corridors in meeting the following objectives:
x Build and sustain core capabilities, including Law Enforcement and Terrorism Prevention Activities and the National Priority Areas ( see priorities below); 1Strategic Intelligence Assessment and Data on Domestic Terrorism, Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Homeland Security, June 2023.

x Address capability gaps identified in their Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment ( THIRA) and Stakeholder Preparedness Review ( SPR) process; and
x Implement a comprehensive and coordinated approach to address enduring security needs of communities that includes planning, training and awareness campaigns, equipment and capital projects, and exercises.

SHSP and UASI Funding Priorities: Given the evolving national security threat landscape, DHS/FEMA has evaluated the national risk profile and set priorities that help inform appropriate allocation of scarce security dollars. In assessing the national risk profile for FY 2024, six National Priority Areas pose the most concern. Due to the unique threats that the nation faces in 2024, DHS/FEMA has determined that recipients should allocate a total of 30% of their SHSP and UASI award funds across these six priority areas. As indicated below, one of the priorities has a minimum spend requirement totaling 3% of SHSP and UASI awards. Recipients will have the flexibility to allocate the remaining 27% across the priorities. The following are the six priority areas for FY 2024, along with the minimum corresponding percentage of SHSP and UASI funds that each recipient will be required to allocate:
1) Enhancing the protection of soft targets/crowded places – no minimum percent
2) Enhancing information and intelligence sharing and analysis – no minimum percent
3) Combating domestic violent extremism – no minimum percent 4) Enhancing cybersecurity – no minimum percent
5) Enhancing community preparedness and resilience – no minimum percent 6) Enhancing election security – 3%
Additional information about these priority areas and how they relate to achieving anti-terrorism capabilities is included in Section D of this NOFO. Failure by a recipient to propose investments and projects that align with the priority areas and spending requirements will result in a recipient having a portion of their SHSP and UASI funds ( up to 30%) placed on hold until they provide projects that sufficiently align to the National Priority Areas, and total at least the minimum percentages per National Priority Area ( as applicable) and overall 30% of total SHSP and UASI funds.

A state or high-risk urban area must allocate the remaining 70% of their funding to addressing capability gaps ( e.g., building/ sustaining capability and/ or closing capability gaps) identified through their THIRA/SPR process.

Likewise, there are several enduring security needs that crosscut the homeland security enterprise to which recipients should consider allocating funding across core capability gaps and national priorities. The following are enduring needs that help recipients implement a comprehensive approach to securing communities:

The table below provides a breakdown of the FY 2024 SHSP and UASI priorities (the focus of OPSG remains unique to border security), showing the core capabilities enhanced and lifelines supported, as well as examples of eligible project types for each area. More information on allowable investments can be found in the Section D.13 “Funding Restrictions and Allowable Costs” below and in the Preparedness Grants Manual ( FM-207- 23-001). DHS/ FEMA anticipates that in future years, national priorities will continue to be included and will be updated as the threats evolve and as capability gaps are closed. Applicants are strongly encouraged to begin planning to sustain existing capabilities through funding mechanisms other than DHS preparedness grants. The example project types in the table below are allowable to prepare for disasters unrelated to acts of terrorism as long as they also help achieve target capabilities related to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, or responding to acts of terrorism.

are not required to do so. As a reminder, all SHSP- and UASI- funded projects must have a demonstrated nexus to achieving target capabilities related to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, and responding to acts of terrorism. However, such projects may simultaneously support enhanced preparedness for disasters unrelated to acts of terrorism.

DHS/ FEMA also requires SHSP and UASI recipients ( states, territories, and high- risk urban areas) to complete a THIRA/SPR and prioritize grant funding to support building capability and/ or closing capability gaps or sustaining capabilities that address national priorities and/or support enduring needs. Additional information on the THIRA/ SPR process, including other National Preparedness System tools and resources, can be found at National Preparedness System | FEMA.gov. Detailed information on THIRA/ SPR timelines and deadlines can be found in the Preparedness Grants Manual.

UASI Allocations
Eligible candidates for the FY 2024 UASI program are identified in the table below.

Eligibility has been determined through an analysis of relative risk of terrorism faced by the 100 most populous Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) in the United States, in accordance with the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. Detailed information on MSAs is publicly available from the United States Census Bureau at Metropolitan and Micropolitan census. gov). THIRA/ SPR results do not impact grant allocations or awards.

The Metropolitan Areas Standardization and Protection ( MAPS) Act of 2021 ( P.L. 117- 219) prohibits automatically updating core-based statistical areas, which are used to delineate MSAs, for grantmaking. The MAPS Act requires that FEMA issue notice- and- comment rulemaking to make any changes. Should changes be necessary in FY 2024, FEMA will issue notice- and- comment rulemaking within the statutorily defined guidelines.

The following table identifies the UASI allocations for each high-risk urban area based on DHS/FEMA’s relative risk methodology pursuant to the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended.

In its application, each high- risk urban area, through the state, must include a separate IJ for the National Priority Area with a minimum spend requirement (Enhancing Election Security). All projects related to the minimum spend for the National Priority Area must be included in the IJ. For the National Priority Area with a minimum spend percentage requirement, the funding level in that National Priority Area investment must equal or exceed 3%, calculated as a percentage of the urban area’ s UASI allocation in the table below.

The funding levels across all six National Priority Areas must equal or exceed 30% of the total UASI allocation.

OPSG Allocations
For FY 2024, DHS/ FEMA will award OPSG funds based on risk and the anticipated effectiveness of the proposed use of grant funds upon completion of the application review process. The FY 2024 OPSG risk assessment is designed to identify the risk to border security and to assist with the distribution of funds for the grant program. Funding under OPSG is distributed based on the risk to the security of the border and the effectiveness of the proposed projects. Entities eligible for funding are the state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies that are located along the border of the United States. DHS/FEMA will make final award determinations based upon a review of the anticipated effectiveness of the 7

Page 262 of 458 ends

17 FY 2024 HSGP NOFO
state’ s application as described in Section D, below. The THIRA/ SPR process is not required for OPSG.

For the purposes of OPSG, the risk is defined as the potential for an adverse outcome assessed as a function of threats, vulnerabilities, and consequences associated with an incident, event, or occurrence.

Based upon ongoing intelligence analysis and extensive security reviews, DHS/CBP continues to focus the bulk of OPSG funds based upon risk analyses. The risk model used to allocate OPSG funds considers the potential risk that certain threats pose to border security and estimates the relative risk faced by a given area. In evaluating risk, DHS/ CBP considers intelligence, situational awareness, criminal trends, and statistical data specific to each of the border sectors, and the potential impacts that these threats pose to the security of the border area. For vulnerability and consequence, DHS/CBP considers the expected impact and consequences of successful border events occurring in specific areas.

Threat and vulnerability are evaluated based on specific operational data from DHS/CBP.

Threat components present in each of the sectors are used to determine the overall threat score. These components are terrorism, criminal aliens, drug trafficking organizations, and alien smuggling organizations.

Effectiveness of the proposed investments will be evaluated based on the recipient’ s investment strategy, budget, collaboration, and past performance.

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, are eligible to apply for SHSP funds. Tribal governments may not apply directly for HSGP funding; however, funding may be available to tribes through the SAA.

2. Applicant Eligibility Criteria
The SAA is the only eligible applicant.

An application submitted by an otherwise eligible non-federal entity (i.e., the applicant) may be deemed ineligible when the person that submitted the application is not: 1) a current employee, personnel, official, staff, or leadership of the non-federal entity; and 2) duly authorized to apply for an award on behalf of the non-federal entity at the time of application.

Further, the Authorized Organization Representative (AOR) must be a duly authorized current employee, personnel, official, staff, or leadership of the recipient and provide an email address unique to the recipient at the time of application and upon any change in assignment during the period of performance. Consultants or contractors of the recipient are not permitted to be the AOR of the recipient.

3. Subawards and Beneficiaries
a. Subaward Allowability
Subawards are allowed under the HSGP. The recipient (the SAA) is awarded, and then any funds passed through to other state or local entities (subrecipients) are considered subawards.
b. Subrecipient Eligibility
Eligible high-risk urban areas for the FY 2024 UASI program have been determined through an analysis of relative risk of terrorism faced by the 100 most populous MSAs in the United States. Subawards will be made by the SAAs to the designated high-risk urban areas.

For 2024, each SAA is strongly encouraged to re-evaluate its process for collecting and evaluating subaward applications. FEMA encourages each SAA to minimize the type and quantity of information that it collects as part of the subaward application process, in order to decrease the overall financial and time burden associated with applying for subawards under this grant program. Each SAA should review its subaward application and reduce or eliminate the request for any information that is not needed for legal, financial, or oversight purposes.

In FY 2024, OPSG eligible subrecipients are local units of government at the county level or equivalent level of government and federally recognized tribal governments in states bordering Canada or Mexico and states and territories with international water borders. All applicants must have active ongoing USBP operations coordinated through a CBP sector office to be eligible for OPSG funding. 7

In FY 2024, OPSG subrecipients eligible to apply for and receive a subaward directly from the SAAs are divided into three Tiers. Tier 1 entities are local units of government at the county level or equivalent and federally recognized tribal governments that are on a physical border in states bordering Canada, states bordering Mexico, and states and territories with international water borders. Tier 2 eligible subrecipients are those not located on the physical border or international water but are contiguous to a Tier 1 county. Tier 3 eligible subrecipients are those not located on the physical border or international water but are contiguous to a Tier 2 eligible subrecipient. The tier structure is only applicable with regard to eligibility.

OPSG funding allocations are based on the assessed border security risks as determined by the USBP.

b. Emergency Management Assistance Compact ( EMAC) Membership In support of the National Preparedness Goal (the Goal), SHSP recipients must belong to, be in, or act as a temporary member of the EMAC, except for the American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, which are not required to belong to the EMAC at this time. All assets supported in part or entirely with FY 2024 HSGP funding must be readily deployable and NIMS-typed, when possible, to support emergency or disaster operations per existing EMAC agreements. In addition, funding may be used for the sustainment of core capabilities that, while they may not be physically deployable, support national response capabilities, such as Geographic/Geospatial Information Systems, interoperable communications systems, capabilities as defined under the Mitigation Mission Area of the Goal, and fusion centers.
c. Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Activities (LETPA) Per section 2006 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended ( 6 U.S.C. § 607), DHS/FEMA is required to ensure that at least 25% of grant funding appropriated for grants awarded under HSGP’ s authorizing statute are used for LETPAs. For FY 2024, DHS/FEMA is requiring that at least 35% of grant funding appropriated under HSGP is used for LETPA. DHS/ FEMA meets this requirement, in part, by requiring all recipients allocate at least 35% of the combined HSGP funds allocated under SHSP and UASI towards LETPAs, as defined in 6 U.S.C. § 607. The LETPA allocation can be from SHSP, UASI, or both. The 35% LETPA allocation may be met by funding projects in any combination of the six National Priority Areas identified above and any other investments. The 35% LETPA allocation requirement is in addition to the 80% pass- through requirement to local units of government and tribes, referenced below. Information Bulletin (IB) 485 includes the most up-to-date information on project selection considerations and allowable activities for LETPA investments and compliments IB 473. Both IBs are applicable to the FY 2024 HSGP NOFO. More information on allowable investments can also be found in the Allowable Costs Matrix section below.

The National Prevention Framework describes those activities that should be executed upon the discovery of intelligence or information regarding an imminent threat to the homeland, to thwart an initial or follow-on terrorist attack and provides guidance to ensure the Nation is prepared to identify, prevent, avoid, or stop a threatened or actual act of terrorism. Activities outlined in the National Prevention Framework are eligible for use as LETPA-focused funds. Also, where capabilities are shared with the protection mission area, the National Protection Framework activities are also eligible. All other terrorism prevention activities proposed for funding under LETPA must be approved by the FEMA Administrator.

In support of efforts to enhance capabilities for detecting, deterring, disrupting, and preventing acts of terrorism and other catastrophic events, operational overtime costs are allowable for increased protective security measures at critical infrastructure sites or other high-risk locations and to enhance public safety during mass gatherings and 7

ensure it does not impact your ability to meet required submission deadlines. Please review the table above for estimated deadlines to complete each of the steps listed. Failure of an applicant to comply with any of the required steps before the deadline for submitting an application may disqualify that application from funding.

To apply for an award under this program, all applicants must:
a. Apply for, update, or verify their UEI number and Employer Identification Number EIN) from the Internal Revenue Service;
b. In the application, provide an UEI number;
c. Have an account with login.gov;
d. Register for, update, or verify their SAM account and ensure the account is active before submitting the application;
e. Register in FEMA GO, add the organization to the system, and establish the AOR.

The organization’ s electronic business point of contact ( EBiz POC) from the SAM registration may need to be involved in this step. For step-by-step instructions, see https:// www.fema. gov/ grants/ guidance- tools/fema- go/startup f. Submit the complete application in FEMA GO; and
g. Continue to maintain an active SAM registration with current information at all times during which it has an active federal award or an application or plan under consideration by a federal awarding agency. As part of this, applicants must also provide information on an applicant’ s immediate and highest-level owner and subsidiaries, as well as on all predecessors that have been awarded federal contracts or federal financial assistance within the last three years, if applicable.

Applicants are advised that FEMA may not make a federal award until the applicant has complied with all applicable SAM requirements. Therefore, an applicant’ s SAM registration must be active not only at the time of application, but also during the application review period and when FEMA is ready to make a federal award. Further, as noted above, an applicant’ s or recipient’s SAM registration must remain active for the duration of an active federal award. If an applicant’ s SAM registration is expired at the time of application, expires during application review, or expires any other time before award, FEMA may determine that the applicant is not qualified to receive a federal award and use that determination as a basis for making a federal award to another applicant.

Per 2 C.F.R. § 25.110(c)(2)(iii), if an applicant is experiencing exigent circumstances that prevents it from obtaining an UEI number and completing SAM registration prior to receiving a federal award, the applicant must notify FEMA as soon as possible by contacting [email protected] and providing the details of the circumstances that prevent completion of these requirements. If FEMA determines that there are exigent circumstances and FEMA has decided to make an award, the applicant will be required to obtain an UEI number, if applicable, and complete SAM registration within 30 days of the federal award date.
