Subrecipient shall provide services and staff, and otherwise do all things necessary to perform the work, as set forth in Exhibit B – Scope of Work and Additional Goals. a. Maximum Compensation: It is expressly understood that the maximum compensation for services rendered under this Subrecipient Funding Agreement for the fiscal year 2024-2025 shall not exceed one million, five hundred three thousand, seven hundred seven dollars ($1,503,707).
b. This Subrecipient Funding Agreement is also subject to subsequent funding agreements for fiscal years 2025 -2026 and 2026 -2027, contingent upon satisfactory program performance, with a total compensation not to exceed three million, four hundred thousand dollars ($3,400,000).
Funding Availability: Funding is contingent upon services provided under this Agreement meeting City requirements incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof, by providing assistance to homeless individuals and families by undertaking Emergency Shelter activities and Rapid Re-Housing. The availability of said funds is subject to the control of the City of Salinas, Community Development Department, Housing and Community Development and should said funds be encumbered, withdrawn, or otherwise made unavailable to City, whether earned by or promised to Subrecipient, Subrecipient shall not be paid said funds until they are available for payment. No other funds owned or controlled by City shall be paid under this Agreement unless specifically permitted by the Council of the City of Salinas.
It is specifically understood and agreed by Subrecipient that the funds herein authorized for the programs, projects, and services to be undertaken and performed pursuant to this Agreement constitute all of the money presently available for the purpose of this Agreement; that future additional funding of any such programs, projects, or services beyond the term of this Agreement, by any new Agreement or amendment or extension of this Agreement, will depend not only upon the satisfactory performance of this Agreement by Subrecipient, but also upon the availability to City of grant funds allocated for such purposes; that neither City, nor any employee of City, has made any promise or commitment, expressed or implied, that any additional funds will be paid or made available to Subrecipient for the purpose of this Agreement over and above the funds expressly allocated thereto under the terms herein.
Subrecipient is advised that because additional funding may not be available beyond the term of this Agreement for the completion of any unfinished project or the continuation of any ongoing program or service, Subrecipient is expected to structure and conduct each project and program in such manner that it may be readily completed or terminated with the minimum of waste or loss in the event no further funding thereof is available.
Use of Funds: The Subrecipient shall administer its program in conformance with 2 CFR 200, also known as Uniform Guidance. These principles shall be applied for all costs incurred whether charged on a direct or indirect basis.
Method of Payment: City will provide payment for program costs covered by this Agreement on a monthly basis upon successful electronic submission of a “Expense Report” through the City’s online data management system (www.citydataservices.net), by Subrecipient indicating the amount of payment requested and a breakdown of expenditures consistent with DRAFT
8 Subrecipient's budget included in Exhibit A.
All costs shall be supported by Subrecipient’s General Ledger provided through their Financial Management System outlining all cost which reimbursement is requested while in compliance with the Personally Identifying Information (PII) Policy. Subrecipients are responsible to redact any additional documentation pertaining to client information and replacing it with client’s HMIS number. All accounting documents pertaining in whole or in part to this Agreement shall be clearly identified and readily accessible upon request by City or designated agents thereof.
The City and Subrecipient agreed to streamline reporting and minimize administrative workload by creating a simplified reporting template which aligned with the approved Agreement Source in the City’s Data Management System. The City agreed to accept a furnish report generated from the Subrecipient accounting system which outlines the reporting requirements in this section. This approach aims to balance accountability while optimizing efficiency in the reporting process. The City has the right to request complete supporting documents at any point during the term of this agreement, if and when a report doesn’t align with Subrecipient report from their accounting system.
Financial Management and Accounting Standards
Subrecipient shall request funds only for authorized budget item(s) and the request shall be approved by City's Planning Manager (Housing Division) or his or her designee prior to payment.
Payment requests are due on the 15th day of each month. Should the 15th fall on a weekend or holiday, the Subrecipient is responsible to provide their report prior to the weekend or holiday.
Agencies that miss City submittal deadlines more than two times in one fiscal year shall be disqualified from submitting a funding proposal for the following year per the Public Services Funding Parameters adopted by Salinas City Council on May 21, 2013. Payments shall be reimbursed based upon the prior month's expenditures and appropriate documentation must be submitted electronically. “Expense Report” submitted incorrectly, without being redacted, or without the completed “Activity Report” due on the 15th day of each month, shall be returned to Subrecipient by City. Funding shall only be provided for expenses incurred or services provided during the period commencing July 1, 2023, and ending June 30, 2024. Payment requests received by City after July 15, 2025, need not be considered for payment.
If any portion of the approved funding is neither expended nor encumbered by June 30, 2025, the allocation shall be correspondingly reduced, and the funds made available for other eligible activities and any amendment thereto. In order to ensure compliance with the federal and state regulations concerning timely expenditure of the City’s FY 2024-25, the Subrecipient abovementioned project shall be completed within the timeframes specified in the Scope of Work (Exhibit B).
End of Year Reporting
At the end of the Fiscal Year timeframe, Subrecipients must submit an Annual HMIS CAPER Reporting for the program funded through this Agreement. This information must be submitted to the City as a pdf file in a timely manner through CDS. End of Year Reports submitted after July 15, 2025, will be considered late and in violation of this section.
Budget Modifications: Upon electronic submission of a “Budget Modification Request” by DRAFT
9 Subrecipient, City's Planning Manager (Housing Division) may authorize a budget revision only if the revision is between the same component. Budget Modifications reflecting adjustments between components will not be approved. Any budget revision executed shall not authorize the total compensation to be paid under this Agreement, as so modified, to exceed the amount shown above in Section 4, paragraph b. Such budget modifications shall be completed on the City Data Services (CDS) website at www.citydataservices.net. Because the City has required spending thresholds, any budget modification must be approved by the City in order to ensure the City meets the State’s funding requirements.
Unexpended Funds: When a portion of the approved budget amount is not expended or encumbered, as per the approved budget within the Proposal (Exhibit A), the maximum compensation shall be automatically reduced by any unexpended portion. Subrecipients spending rapid rehousing dollars are required to spend all their rapid rehousing funds within the grant period.
Improperly Expended Funds: If City has reason to believe that any funds disbursed to Subrecipient under this Agreement were not expended in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, City shall notify Subrecipient, in writing, of the facts or conduct which warrant(s) such belief and shall provide Subrecipient reasonable opportunity to demonstrate or achieve compliance with the terms of this Agreement. If Subrecipient fails to demonstrate such compliance to the satisfaction of City within the time specified, upon request by City, Subrecipient shall immediately refund to City the amount determined to be improperly expended.
The provisions of this paragraph shall be in effect during the terms of this Agreement and for three years thereafter, or until such time as the City shall have certified after audit, that all funds disbursed to Subrecipient under this Agreement were expended in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The Subrecipient would be required to re-pay any improperly spent funds to the City of Salinas.
Section 4A. City Program Requirements
Subrecipient shall comply with the following requirements set forth under this Agreement per the City of Salinas Housing and Community Service Grant Operations Manual.

Homeless individuals and families must be given assistance in obtaining: (i) appropriate supportive services, including permanent housing, medical health treatment, mental health treatment, counseling, supervision, and other services essential for achieving independent living; and (ii) other Federal, State, local and private assistance available for such individuals. b. Subrecipient shall develop and implement procedures to ensure the confidentiality of records pertaining to any individual served pursuant to this Agreement and/or provided family violence prevention or treatment services and further to ensure that the address or location of any family violence shelter will not be made public, except with written authorization of the person or persons responsible for the operation of such shelter. c. Subrecipient agrees to participate in the local Continuum of Care's Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) including requirements to collect the Universal Data Elements and report an array of data pertaining to homelessness, including unduplicated counts, the use of services and goals, and the effectiveness of the local homeless assistance system.
Communities and homeless assistance providers use the data stored in HMIS to improve DRAFT
10 homeless assistance programs and better serve homeless persons meeting federal requirements of the Emergency Solutions Grant under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. In addition, sub recipients will agree to use HMIS as a case management tool to upload a Housing Stability Plan, Related Case Management Documentation, and services provided by Service Transactions and goals as required by the City. d. If any reports are submitted without proper documentation, they will be sent to draft and considered late.
Section 4B. Other Program Requirements
Subrecipient shall carry out each activity in compliance with all applicable federal laws and regulations as described below:
Evaluation: The City reserves the right to survey Subrecipient’s clients. If the City elects to survey Subrecipient’s clients, the City will deliver questionnaires to the Subrecipient and the Subrecipient will distribute those questionnaires to Subrecipient’s clients. Subrecipient’s clients may then remit completed questionnaires directly to the City. The method of return to the City would be clarified during the evaluation process. To maintain Subrecipient’s protection of client confidentiality, City agrees that client surveys will not contain questions requiring the survey- taker to reveal any personally identifying client data. Following receipt of clients’ completed questionnaires, the City shall forward a summary of the results to the Subrecipient.
Disclosure of Confidential Client Information: City and Subrecipient will protect the confidentiality of all records pertaining to any individual served under this Agreement and will protect the disclosure of such documents, except as otherwise required under state or federal law or unless written consent is obtained from such person receiving service and, in the case of a minor, that of a responsible parent/guardian. Subrecipient expressly acknowledges that City is subject to the California Public Records Act and may, therefore, be obligated to disclose records pertaining to Subrecipient and its activities and services provided pursuant to this Agreement.
Depending on the nature or timing of the request, or future court decisions, records received by City pursuant to this agreement may not remain private and may be publicly disclosed. Given the nature of the applicable law under the California Public Records Act, City cannot guarantee or warrant that it will be able to keep submitted records confidential. Subrecipient therefore agrees to defend and indemnify City against any suit brought under the California Public Records act to obtain the records; otherwise, City shall not be obligated to defend such suit and may release the records.
Subrecipients shall comply with the Personally Identifying Information (PII) Policy. and are responsible to redact all documentation pertaining to client information and replacing it with client’s HMIS number for all clients receiving direct assistance.

It is understood that the duty of Subrecipient to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code, and that Subrecipient shall at its DRAFT
12 own expense, upon written request of City, defend any such suit or action brought against City, its officers, agents, or employees. Acceptance of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Subrecipient from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply whether or not such insurance policies shall have been determined to be applicable to any such damages or claims for damages.
Subrecipient shall reimburse City for all costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, fees and charges of architects, engineers, attorneys, and other professionals and court costs) incurred by City in enforcing the provisions of this Section.

5. Professional Liability (also known as Errors and Omissions) insurance appropriate to the work being performed, with limits no less than $1,000,000 per occurrence or claim, $2,000,000 aggregate per policy period of one year.
If the Subrecipient or Contractor maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, the Subrecipient requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or higher limits maintained by the Contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
Self-Insured Retentions
Self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. At the option of the City, DRAFT
13 either: the Subrecipient or their Contractor shall cause the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such self-insured retentions as respects the City, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers; or the Contractor shall provide a financial guarantee satisfactory to the City guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses. The policy language shall provide, or be endorsed to provide, that the self-insured retention may be satisfied by either the named insured or City.
Other Insurance Provisions
The insurance policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:
The City, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds on the CGL policy with respect to liability arising out of work or operations performed by or on behalf of the Subrecipient including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations and automobiles owned, leased, hired, or borrowed by or on behalf of the Subrecipient or Contractor. General liability coverage can be provided in the form of an endorsement to the Subrecipient or Contractor’s insurance (at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 10, CG 11 85 or both CG 20 10, CG 20 26, CG 20 33, or CG 20 38; and CG 20 37 forms if later revisions used).
1. For any claims related to this project, the Subrecipient or Contractor’s insurance coverage shall be primary insurance coverage at least as broad as ISO CG 20 01 04 13 as respects the City, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers. Any insurance or self- insurance maintained by the City, its officers, officials, employees, or volunteers shall be excess of the Contractor’s insurance and shall not contribute with it.
2. Each insurance policy required by this clause shall provide that coverage shall not be canceled, except with notice to the City.
3. A copy of the claims reporting requirements must be submitted by Subrecipient or Contractor to the City.
Acceptability of Insurers
Insurance is to be placed with insurers authorized to conduct business in the state with a current A.M. Best rating of no less than A: VII, unless otherwise acceptable to the City.
Waiver of Subrogation
Subrecipient or their Contractor hereby agrees to waive rights of subrogation which any insurer of Contractor may acquire from Contractor by virtue of the payment of any loss. Subrecipient agrees to obtain any endorsement that may be necessary to affect this waiver of subrogation. The Workers’ Compensation policy shall be endorsed with a waiver of subrogation in favor of the City for all work performed by the Subrecipient, its employees, agents, and subcontractors.
Subrecipient shall provide evidence of compliance with the insurance requirements listed above by providing a certificate of insurance, in a form satisfactory to City's Senior Human Resources Analyst, by certified mail to the City of Salinas Administration Department, 200 Lincoln Avenue, Salinas, CA 93901 and by Subrecipient uploading the Certificate of Insurance into the City DRAFT
14 Data Service website at www.citydataservices.net on behalf of the City of Salinas, concurrently with the submittal of this Agreement. A statement on the insurance certificate which states that the insurance company "will endeavor" to notify the certificate holder, "but failure to mail such notice shall impose no obligation or liability to any kind upon the company, its agents or representatives" does not satisfy the requirement of subsection (e) herein. Subrecipient shall ensure that the authorized representative of the insurance company strikes the above quoted language from the certificate. The insurance certificate shall also state the unpaid limits of the policy.
Subrecipient shall provide a substitute certificate of insurance no later than ten (10) days prior to the policy expiration date. Failure by Subrecipient to provide such substitution and extend the policy expiration date shall be considered a default. In the event Subrecipient is unable to provide a substitute certificate of insurance within the time prescribed in this subsection, Subrecipient shall provide written confirmation of renewal, in a form satisfactory to the City, to act as proof of insurance only until such time as a certificate of insurance has been received by the City.
Maintenance of insurance by Subrecipient as specified in this Agreement shall in no way be interpreted as relieving Subrecipient of any responsibility whatever, and Subrecipient may carry, at its own expense, such additional insurance as Subrecipient deems necessary.
In lieu of providing proof of insurance as required by Section 9(A) through (G) herein above, Subrecipient may provide a letter of insurance to City which represents and warrants to City that Subrecipient is lawfully self-insured with respect to the liabilities which it may incur in the performance of this Agreement and that, to the best of Subrecipient’s knowledge, Subrecipient will be in a financial position to meet such potential liabilities when they occur.
Section 7. Subcontracts
Subrecipient may contract with one or more third parties (subcontractors) to carry out a portion of the services and program described in the Proposal, insofar as Subrecipient deems such to be proper and efficient.
Prior to Subrecipient entering into any agreement for any person or organization to render said services, the Subrecipient shall obtain written approval from City's Planning Manager (Housing Division). Such subcontracts, together with all other activities by or on behalf of Subrecipient, shall not require payment in excess of City's portion of the total project budget as stated in Part I, Exhibit A of this Agreement. The subcontractor shall be subject to the same terms and conditions that Subrecipient is subject to under this Agreement and Subrecipient shall ensure the terms of this Agreement are expressly set forth in any agreements in it may have with any such subcontractors.
City shall in no event be liable to any subcontractor or any other creditor of Subrecipient and shall be liable to Subrecipient only in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Section 8. Amendment
Where it is determined by the Planning Manager (Housing Division) that there is a need to make any change in the project, fiscal procedures, or the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including any changes necessary to comply with changes in Federal, State or local laws or regulations), such change shall be incorporated by written amendment to this Agreement and approved by the City and by Subrecipient, provided that adjustments in line items within the total approved budget, and minor changes in the nature and scope of with specified in the Agreement, may be approved by the Planning Manager (Housing Division) - any such changes shall be documented in writing.
DRAFT
15 Section 9. Assignment
There shall be no assignment of rights or obligations under this Agreement without written approval of the Planning Manager (Housing Division). This Agreement restricts the right of the Subrecipient to assign rights and responsibilities and restricts the right to modify this Agreement.
Written notification requesting reassignment of modifications to effectuate the assignment and the modification of the rights and responsibilities under the Agreement must be requested along with a current copy of the IRS letter regarding tax status on any possible merges. Any changes of this agreement must be signed by the Board of Directors of the Subrecipient, if a corporation, or the management if not a corporation, and by the City of Salinas.
Section 10. Suspension and Termination
If Subrecipient materially fails to comply with any term of this Agreement, City may suspend or terminate the Agreement in whole or in part. City may terminate the Agreement for convenience with the mutual written agreement of Subrecipient. Subrecipient may terminate the Agreement upon no less than thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice, setting forth the reasons for such termination and the effective date of such termination.
