(2) The coverage afforded by this insurance is primary and non-contributory with the additional insured(s)' own insurance.
Paragraphs (1) and (2) do not apply to other insurance to which the additional insured(s) has been added as an additional insured or to other insurance described in paragraph b. below. b. Excess Insurance
This insurance is excess over:
1. Any of the other insurance, whether primary, excess, contingent or on any other basis:
(a) That is Fire, Extended Coverage, Builder's Risk, Installation Risk or similar coverage for "your work";
(b} That is fire, lightning, or explosion insurance for premises rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner;
(c) That is insurance purchased by you to cover your liability as a tenant for "property damage" to premises temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner; or ( d) If the loss arises out of the maintenance or use of aircraft, "autos" or watercraft to the extent not subject to Exclusion g. of SECTION I - COVERAGE A· BODILY INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.
(e) Any other insurance available to an additional insured(s) under this Endorsement covering liability for damages which are subject to this endorsement and for which the additional insured(s) has been added as an additional insured by that other insurance.
(1) When this insurance is excess, we will have no duty under Coverages A or B to defend the additional insured(s) against any "suit" if any other insurer has a duty to defend the additional insured(s) against that "suit". If no other insurer defends, we will undertake to do so, but we will be entitled to the additional insured(s)' rights against all those other insurers.
(2) When this insurance is excess over other insurance, we will pay only our share of the amount of the loss, if any, that exceeds the sum of:
(a) The total amount that all such other insurance would pay for the loss in the absence of this insurance; and
(b) The total of all deductible and self-insured amounts under all that other insurance.
(3) We will share the remaining loss, if any, with any other insurance that is not described in this Excess Insurance provision and was not bought specifically to apply in excess of the Limits of Insurance shown in the Declarations of this Coverage Part. c. Methods of Sharing
If all of the other insurance available to the additional insured(s) permits contribution by equal shares, we will follow this method also. Under this approach each insurer contributes equal amounts until it has paid its applicable limit of insurance or none of the loss remains, whichever comes first.
If any other the other insurance available to the additional insured(s) does not permit contribution by equal shares, we will contribute by limits. Under this method, each insurer's share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit of insurance to the total applicable limits of insurance of all insurers.

2. Proposed Program
A. The Rebuilding Careers Program for Young Adults, a 12-month program proposed by Working Wardrobes, is designed to provide full case management workforce development services to out-of-school youth, ages 16-24, in Santa Ana. Over the 12-month program period, the program will achieve the following objectives:
• Provide Career Coaching, Mentorship, and Exploration
Pair each participant with the program's dedicated 1.0 FTE Career Navigator (Case Manager) who will provide personalized guidance, career assessments and goal setting.
Leverage the expertise of volunteer Career Coaches with HR related experiences to provide one-on-one resume and interview preparation. Utilize the B-Unbound online platform to connect participants with adult mentors in relevant fields for job shadowing, mock interviews, and informational interviewing, allowing them to explore various fields and gain insights into different industries.
• Increase Workforce Readiness
Provide workforce readiness training to 20 out-of-school youth, through a workshop series that includes resume building, job search strategies, interview preparation, financial literacy, and workplace success techniques. Ensure that all participants complete paid workforce readiness workshops, equipping them with the essential skills to confidently navigate the job market. Focus on developing key soft skills, including time management, problem-solving, teamwork, and communication, while supporting participants in cultivating vital personal and professional attributes such as responsibility and work ethic-critical for long-term career growth and advancement. Offer both in person and self-paced learning options to accommodate diverse learning styles and ensure that all clients have the flexibility to engage with the material in a way that best supports their needs ..
• Provide Paid Work Experience (WEX)
Provide clients with up to 70 hours of paid work experience at host sites in high-demand industries or at Working Wardrobes locations. Each host site will be vetted to ensure they provide a safe learning environment that focuses on the development of both soft skills and technical job-related skills. This includes on-the-job training and exposure to career pathways in high demand industries like healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, retail, logistics, customer service, and more. Paid work experience opportunities will be provided in partnership with regional employers like hospitals, hospitality groups, IT service providers, and through in-house placements at Working Wardrobes' social enterprises, such as The Hanger Outlets, Donation Center and Career Success Center.
EXHIBIT 2

• Skill-Based Certification/Training Enrollment and Tuition Support Connect participants to a WIOA-approved education or training program, that will lead to attainment of a postsecondary credential or a secondary school diploma during participation in or within one year after exit from the program. These programs will be in high-demand industries (such as construction, manufacturing, IT, culinary arts, and transportation) with up to $1,000 in financial assistance. This financial assistance will help support tuition fees, required supplies such as clothing, tools and equipment. The Career Navigator will assist the client in reviewing, selecting and enrolling in the certification program by accompanying on tours of the facility and attending enrollment sessions. If a GED is required for enrollment but not yet earned, the Career Navigator will help participants enroll in alternative education programs to obtain it prior to enrollment in a postsecondary education program, leveraging partnerships with Santa Ana Community College Continuing Education programs.
• Offer Wraparound Supportive Services and Resources
Address barriers such as transportation, food insecurities, and financial instability by providing resources like gasoline debit cards, bus passes, identification assistance, background checks, grooming products, and Working Wardrobes' signature professional wardrobing services with the support of volunteer Personal Stylists located at its Wardrobe Center. Offer personalized referrals to community resources to ensure a holistic approach to career development.
• Job Search Navigation Support
Collaborate with local employers, employment agencies, and chambers of commerce to connect participants with job openings in their desired field of interest after they've completed 70 hours of work experience. Includes connecting participants to hiring events, career fairs, and networking opportunities to enhance participants' chances of securing employment and establishing a sustainable career path. • Ensure Long-Term Success through Follow-Up Services
Provide follow-up support for at least 12 months post-program to ensure participants are maintaining employment and progressing in their careers. Career Navigators will reach out to clients quarterly to check-in on employment status, continued or new barriers and additional skill development needs. Offer continued access to workshops, career coaching and linkages to community resources to address challenges and encourage ongoing career development.
By achieving these objectives, the Rebuilding Careers Program for Young Adults will help underserved youth in Santa Ana overcome barriers to employment and education, providing them with the skills, experience, and support necessary for long-term career success.

3. Population
A. Working Wardrobes will serve a total of 20 youth through the Rebuilding Careers Program for Young Adults. These participants will be out-of-school youth, ages 16-24, who face significant barriers to entering the workforce.
B. The youth served will be between the ages of 16 and 24. Youth ages 18 to 24 will primarily be placed at off-site host agencies for work experience to help remove any barriers partners may have in working with under aged youth. Youth ages 16-24 will be eligible to gain work experience at Working Wardrobes social enterprise locations.
C. In addition to meeting WIOA youth eligibility requirements, Working Wardrobes will ensure that at least 25% of the total participants are either justice-involved, homeless and/or foster youth. In addition, participants must demonstrate a commitment to full engagement with the program. This will be assessed through their participation in an initial intake assessment and program orientation, which will ensure they understand the program's requirements and are prepared to benefit from the services offered.
D. Working Wardrobes will identify prospective participants by leveraging its extensive network of referral partners, including mission-aligned organizations serving transitional-age foster youth, youth experiencing homelessness, and justice-involved youth. These partners will help ensure that eligible youth, who require additional support to succeed in both their educational and employment goals, are referred to the program. Additionally, Working Wardrobes will recruit prospective participants through its core Rebuilding Careers workforce skills training program, identifying youth seeking to enroll in its services who would benefit from this specialized support. To further extend outreach, Working Wardrobes will continue to collaborate with OC Probation and Parole established through Working Wardrobes' current contract with the City of Santa Ana, the Prison to Employment, P2E program to engage probationary youth, as well as outreach to sober and transitional living centers like Health Right 360 and Nancy Clark (The Recovery Center). The organization will also seek referrals from existing youth-serving partners with established relationships, like Sunburst Academy, an alternative, military-based educational program that works with low-income youth, OC Department of Education ACCESS programs, Youth Guidance Center and Simon Scholars Foundation that offers leadership programs for youth, all of which have received workforce readiness services from Working Wardrobes.
Recruitment efforts will be focused on the recognition that Working Wardrobes has identified out-of-school youth as an underserved population, as many fall outside the services of existing youth program collaborators. While many of Working Wardrobes' youth-focused community partners serve in-school youth, some young people are left without support when they no longer qualify for or are not a good fit for these programs. A direct referral to an alternative program like Rebuilding Careers for Youth enables partners to connect out-of-school youth to comprehensive case management services, providing the support needed to achieve their career goals.
EXHIBIT 2

E. The Career Navigator will recruit the targeted youth populations through participation in OC PACT (Parole and Community Team) meetings, engagement with the Youth Council Network, monthly community tours, attendance at resource fairs, and program presentations to new and existing community partners. Working Wardrobes will create outreach flyers marketing the program and share them with over 185 partners.
F. Included as Attachment J is a Letter of Support from Simon Scholars. Although Simon Scholars primarily serves in-school youth, they can speak to the benefits their clients have experienced after participating in similar programming, including wardrobing services, and workshops.
G. Working Wardrobes' recruitment plan to enroll 80% of youth by the 2nd quarter of the program (December 31, 2025) includes a multi-faceted approach: participation in OC PACT meetings, engagement with the Youth Council Network, monthly community tours, attendance at resource fairs, and program presentations. Referral forms will be accepted from partners or through self-referrals. Staff will conduct a screening phone call to evaluate basic eligibility.
Eligible youth will then be invited to weekly orientation sessions, where they will learn about the program and complete the pre-application intake forms. The Career Navigator will establish a small cohort of participants, once WIOA approved, to begin the five part workshop series. This cohort model has been shown in similar programs, to provide a peer support environment that helps the participants stay connected and motivated.

4. Assessment
A-8. A multi-step assessment process will be implemented to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of each youth participant. The TABE assessment will be completed prior to enrollment, with approval from the Service Navigator. After enrollment, additional career assessments will be conducted using O*Net Interest Profiler by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Eureka.org, including tools like True Colors and Micro-skills assessments. These assessments will evaluate soft and hard skills, career interests, and learning styles to better match participants with suitable training and career pathways. Upon enrollment, clients will have the opportunity to connect with a volunteer Career Coach who will assist them in taking the additional career assessment. For youth who know what job and/or industry they are interested in, they will be offered the O*Net Interest Profiler. This resource offers a deep dive into specific jobs based on the results of the assessment that include skills and training requirements, common job duties, median salary range by location and local training programs.
For youth that need more direction, they will be offered other assessments like True Colors and Micro-skills. Once complete, the Career Navigator will help youth explore career pathways and set goals. Using the Eureka platform, participants will take assessments to gauge their work and communication styles, identifying natural skills despite limited work experience. Clients will have access to the platform throughout the program to complete additional assessments.
C. Youth, especially those from low-income households and underserved communities, face significant barriers to employment that limit their access to opportunities compared to their more advantaged peers. These challenges include limited exposure to high-demand career pathways, economic instability, and lack of resources, making it hard to pursue stable employment. Limited access to postsecondary education and family knowledge about higher education and vocational training add further obstacles, leaving many without the tools or guidance to improve job prospects. The absence of career mentorship compounds these issues, leaving young adults without role models to navigate the job market. These systemic barriers prevent youth from securing stable, well-paying jobs, perpetuating cycles of underemployment, economic hardship, and reduced social mobility. Over time, this increases reliance on public assistance and limits upward mobility, creating a cycle difficult to break without targeted interventions.
D. To address the barriers youth face, Working Wardrobes draws on its extensive experience serving underserved populations, with nearly half of its clients being youth. Core services offered to both youth and adult clients include one-on-one career assessments, personalized employment plans, resume building, job search strategies, and connections to secondary education, skill-based certifications, and life skills training. These services are delivered at the Career Success Center in Santa Ana, supported by trained Career Navigators, volunteer Career Coaches with HR/hiring experience, and Job Developers who help clients build the skills and confidence needed for successful job searches. The organization's paid Work Experience (WEX) program is in early development, with a pilot program showing positive impacts for clients.
Working Wardrobes integrates these services and WEX programming into the Rebuilding Careers Program for Young Adults, providing targeted support to help out-of-school youth EXHIBIT 2

5. Paid & Unpaid Work Experience
A. The Rebuilding Careers for Young Adults program will provide participating Santa Ana out-of school youth with valuable paid work experience in high-demand industries such as manufacturing, information technology (IT), hospitality/tourism, and healthcare. Working Wardrobes will partner with employers in these sectors to offer participants up to 70 hours of paid work experience, including paid workforce readiness training. A total of 20 youth will be enrolled in the program.
Working Wardrobes has begun discussions with prospective work sites and employers across various industries to provide paid work experiences for youth ages 18-24 enrolled in the program. Participants aged 16-24 who need more general work experience will be matched with roles relevant to their interests and strengths within Working Wardrobes' social enterprise division. If awarded, Working Wardrobes will submit Letters of Commitment from work site partners to the City of Santa Ana, confirming their support for this aspect of the program. To source work site opportunities, Working Wardrobes will leverage its Board of Directors, which represents a diverse range of industries in Orange County, along with corporate partners, prominent funders in healthcare and finance, and volunteer professionals from the B-Unbound mentorship platform. Potential host site partners include regional hospitals, logistics companies, and IT service providers. Additionally, the program will utilize Working Wardrobes' social enterprise division-including The Hanger Outlets, the Donation Center, and the Career Success Center-to offer in-house work experiences in retail, logistics, customer service, and operations, aligned with participants' interests.
B. The Career Navigator will identify and source work experience opportunities with employers and community partners who offer a safe and supportive learning environment for program participants. The Career Navigator will provide each host site with clear learning objectives and guidelines focused on helping youth develop transferable soft skills, such as: teamwork, problem solving, communication, decision making, and time management. Additionally, the Career Navigator will support participants by facilitating informational interviews with both entry-level and managerial staff at work sites, giving them deeper insights into skill-based roles and potential career pathways the paid work experience can lead to.
Host sites will provide participants with project-based work, either independently or as part of a team. Each youth will receive constructive feedback from their host site supervisor at two key stages:
1. A midpoint evaluation to identify strengths and areas for growth.
2. A final evaluation to assess overall performance and development.
Participants will also complete a self-assessment at the end of their internship, reflecting on their personal growth, performance, and the overall internship experience.

Introduction: Rebuilding Careers Program for Young Adults Working Wardrobes for A New Start ("Working Wardrobes") proposes delivering workforce development services to twenty (20) out-of-school youth (ages 16-24) through its Rebuilding Careers Program for Young Adults. Eligible participants will meet specific risk criteria, including but not limited to being a dropout, experiencing homelessness, being a foster youth, parenting youth, justice-involved, disabled, or low-income and needing additional assistance.
The program will provide job readiness training, skills development, supportive services, and paid job training and employment opportunities, all designed to help underserved, out-of-school youth successfully connect to employment, education, training, and support services.
Participants will also gain access to WIOA-approved certifications and skills training in high-demand industries, with tuition assistance to cover associated costs. The goal is to prepare youth for long-term career success by equipping them with the necessary skills and resources.
The initial program term will span twelve (12) months, ensuring comprehensive support throughout the participants' career development journey.
Working Wardrobes is confident in its ability to enhance its impact and broaden service availability for the underserved population of out-of-school youth.
Participant Eligibility
100% of participants will be out-of-school Santa Ana youth, ages 16-24, who are low-income and face significant barriers to entering the workforce. These barriers may include being transitional-age foster youth, experiencing homelessness, involvement with the justice system, or facing additional challenges such as basic literacy deficiencies, school dropout, runaway status, or parenting. Youth who are pregnant or parenting, offenders, or youth with disabilities requiring additional support to complete an educational program or secure and maintain employment are also eligible. All participants must be authorized to work in the United States.
Outreach and Participant Identification
Working Wardrobes will recruit participants through partnerships with mission-aligned organizations serving transitional-age foster youth, youth experiencing homelessness, and justice-involved youth. Recruitment will also occur through our core Rebuilding Careers workforce skills training program by identifying eligible youth already enrolled in our services who would benefit from this specialized program. Additionally, Working Wardrobes will leverage our network of more than 18S government, social service, educational, and faith-based partners throughout Orange County, many of whom regularly refer youth to our services.
Intake and Assessment
Working Wardrobes will implement a comprehensive intake process to verify participant eligibility, ensure understanding of the program's services, and assess commitment to achieving personal and employment goals, in alignment with the City of Santa Ana's RFP No. 25-019A. This process includes an objective evaluation of each participant's academic skills and service needs through the administration of the on line Test for Adult Basic Education (TABE) or CASA assessment tool. Youth needing tutoring or remedial support in literacy or numeracy will be referred to community partners for additional resources. Upon confirmation of eligibility, participants may also complete the O*NET Career Assessment to inform their individualized 3 EXHIBIT 2

career development plan. All participants will be co-enrolled in Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) services through the Orange County Workforce Solutions Centers network.
Upon completion of intake and assessment, Working Wardrobes will deliver the following program services to participants:
Career Coaching, Exploration, and Mentorship
Each participant will work with a full-time Career Navigator who will assess their basic skills, interests, abilities, and values. Using tools like True Colors, O*NET Online, and a career inventory, the Career Navigator will help set life and employment goals, creating an Individualized Employment Plan (IEP) that outlines steps for career advancement and identifies immediate needs such as housing, legal, and health support. The Career Navigator will connect participants to essential federal, state, and local assistance programs, providing compassionate, individualized guidance. Biweekly meetings will review progress, revise goals, and provide additional support as needed to help participants reach their personal and professional objectives.
In addition, participants will benefit from B-Unbound, an online platform utilized by Working Wardrobes that connects clients with supportive adult mentors for networking and job shadowing. Facilitated by the Career Navigator, this platform will offer youth the chance to engage directly with volunteer professionals-referred to as "Supportive Adults" by B-Unbound-in their fields of interest. Through job shadowing, mock interviews, guided discussions, and personalized career coaching, participants will engage with their Supportive Adults in up to five interactive sessions.

Over the course of the contract term, 20 youth will complete up to 70 hours of paid work experience, which includes workforce readiness training and on-the-job experience.
Working Wardrobes will also leverage its social enterprise division, including The Hanger Outlets (thrift stores), the Donation Center, and the Career Success Center, to provide in-house work experience opportunities for participants ages 16-17, as well as those whose interests align with retail, logistics, and customer service. Notably, these in-house roles within the organization can be tailored to meet the needs of participants who may feel unprepared for immediate placement in more traditional work environments offered by worksite partners. This flexibility allows participants to gradually build their skills and confidence in a supportive environment.
Through paid work experience, participants will build both technical and soft skills-including time management, teamwork, problem-solving, and decision-making-that are transferable to future employment. Support from this funding will allow the following activities to take place:
• Enrolling and onboarding 20 out-of-school youth into the WIOA-funded program and the Working Wardrobes Rebuilding Careers for Youth Program. • Providing paid workforce readiness workshops before and during the WEX experience. • Matching youth participants with paid work experiences of on-the-job training at host sites within high-demand industries and/or at one of four Working Wardrobes locations, based on their interests and strengths. Working Wardrobes locations include two Hanger Outlets {thrift stores), one Donation Center, and the Career Success Center. {Note: paid training and work experience will total 70 hours for participants.)
• Providing concurrent soft skills training and support through financial literacy workshops, personalized wardrobing appointments (where each participant receives one professional outfit), and referrals to additional resources to help address other employment barriers.
Connection to WIOA-Approved Certifications/Training:
In addition to offering paid work experience, a core element of the program is the support provided by the Career Navigator in identifying and enrolling participants in appropriate training and certification opportunities. The Career Navigator will assist program participants in selecting and enrolling in WIDA-approved certification or skills-training programs that align with their individual career goals. This guidance is based on thorough assessments and personalized career path plans, ensuring that each participant receives tailored support to advance their professional development.
Opportunities for certifications in high-demand industries, including Trades {Construction), Manufacturing, Information Technology, Culinary Arts, and Transportation (Truck Driving), will be prioritized. In collaboration with WIOA Service Navigators, the Career Navigator will connect participants with approved training providers in high-wage, high-demand industries such as construction, manufacturing, IT, culinary arts, and transportation, and offer up to $1,000 in tuition assistance. Participants may begin earning their certification while gaining paid job experience or after completing it. The Career Navigator will offer ongoing support to ensure a smooth transition into these programs, empowering participants to succeed in their skills development and career advancement.

Supportive Services:
The program will provide direct financial aid to help participants address transportation needs, such as gasoline debit cards and bus passes, and other incidental needs that remove barriers to employment (e.g., identification/credentials, background checks, grooming, etc.). These services will support participants' ability to access necessary services and employment opportunities Each participant will also receive a professional outfit (suit, shirt or blouse, shoes, and accessories} for interviews and job placements, helping them build confidence and make a strong first impression with potential employers. They will receive personalized assistance from our Wardrobe Specialist to select outfits that meet their needs.
Follow-Up Services:
All youth participants will receive follow-up services for a minimum duration of 12 months after exiting the program. Whether or not participants have completed the full range of program services or secured employment, they will continue to have access to all Working Wardrobes activities. These follow-up services will be personalized to meet each individual's needs and may include leadership development, supportive services, and ongoing contact with employers to address any work-related challenges.

SECTION II: GENERAL
A. LIMITATIONS
Use of the rate(s) contained in the Agreement is subject to all statutory or administrative limitations and is applicable to a given Federal award or contract only to the extent that funds are available.
Acceptance of the rate(s) agreed to herein is predicated upon the following conditions:
1. No costs other than those incurred by the non-Federal entity or contractor were included in its indirect cost pool as finally accepted and that such incurred costs are legal obligations of the non-Federal entity and allowable under the governing cost principles.
2. The same costs that have been treated as indirect costs have not been claimed as direct costs.
3. Similar types of costs have been accorded consistent treatment.
4. The information provided by the non-Federal entity or contractor which was used as a basis for acceptance of the rate(s) agreed to herein is not subsequently found to be materially inaccurate by the Federal government. In such situations, the rate(s) may be subject to renegotiation at the discretion of the Federal government.
5. The rates cited in this Agreement are subject to audit.
6. Indirect costs charged to Federal grants/contracts by means other than the rate(s) cited in this Agreement should be adjusted to the applicable rate(s) cited herein and be applied to the appropriate base to identify the proper amount of indirect costs allocable to the program.
7. Contracts/grants providing for ceilings as to the indirect cost rate(s) or amount(s) which are indicated in Section I above, will be subject to the ceilings stipulated in the contract or grant agreements. The ceiling rate or the rate(s) cited in this Agreement, whichever is lower, will be used to determine the maximum allowable indirect cost on the contract or grant agreement.

B. ACCOUNTING CHANGES
This agreement is based on the accounting system purported by the non-Federal entity or contractor to be in effect during the Agreement period. Changes to the method of accounting for costs which affect the amount of reimbursement resulting from the use of this Agreement require prior approval from the Cost & Price Determination Division (CPDD). Such changes include, but are not limited to changes in the charging of a particular type of cost from indirect to direct. Failure to obtain approval may result in cost disallowances.
C. NOTIFICATION TO FEDERAL AGENCIES
A copy of this document (original, and revised (if applicable)) is to be provided by the non-Federal entity or contractor to other Federal funding sources as a means of notifying them of the Agreement contained herein.
D. DEFINITION OF RATES
1. Final rate means an indirect cost rate applicable to a specified past period which is based on the actual costs of the period. A final rate is not subject to adjustment.
2. Provisional rate or billing rate means a temporary indirect cost rate applicable to a specified period which is used for funding, interim reimbursement, and reporting indirect costs on Federal awards pending the establishment of a final rate for the period.
3. Predetermined rate means an indirect cost rate, applicable to a specified current or future period, usually the organization's fiscal year. The rate is based on an estimate of the costs to be incurred during the period. A predetermined rate is not subject to adjustment.
4. Fixed rate means an indirect cost rate which has the same characteristics as a predetermined rate, except that the difference between the estimated costs and the actual costs of the period covered by the rate is carried forward as an adjustment to the rate computation of a subsequent period.
The Special Remarks section in this agreement may include the carry-forward amount of the applicable fiscal years.
Central service costs (commonly known as State-Wide Cost Allocation Plan costs, or SWCAP costs), when applicable and allowed, may be included in the fixed rate. If the approved SW CAP costs are not available, then those proposed costs can be used to calculate the carry-forward amount. Appropriate State and Federal agencies responsible for negotiating the SW CAP must be informed if proposed SWCAP costs are used so that adjustments between the proposed and approved SW CAP costs can be made in subsequent period. 3 of6

5. G&A rate -If published in Section I, it is the acronym for "General and Administrative" type of indirect expenses. G&A means any management, financial, and other expense which is incurred by, or allocated to, a business unit and which is for the general management and administration of the business unit as a whole.
E. SPECIAL REMARKS
1. Provisional/Final Rate approval and impact to closeout adjustments:
When seeking initial reimbursement of indirect costs using the provisional/final rate methodology, a provisional proposal must be submitted within 90 days of receiving a Federal award (financial assistance, grants, cooperative agreements, and cost reimbursable contracts) that requires accounting for actual costs incurred. The non-Federal entity or contractor must submit an indirect cost rate proposal within six ( 6) months after the end of their fiscal year to establish a final rate.
Once a final rate is negotiated, billings and charges to Federal awards must be adjusted if the final rate varies from the provisional rate. If the final rate is greater than the provisional rate and there are no funds available to cover the additional indirect costs, the non-Federal entity or contractor may not recover all indirect costs. Conversely, if the final rate is less than the provisional rate, the non-Federal entity or contractor will be required to reimburse the funding agency for the excess billings.
Non-Federal entities or contractors receiving a Federal cost reimbursable contract(s) - Must adhere with FAR 52.216-7(d)(2)(v), to settle final indirect cost rates typically on an annual basis:
"The contractor shall update the billings on all contracts to reflect the final settled rates and update the schedule of cumulative direct and indirect costs claimed and billed, as required in paragraph ( d)(2)(iii)(l) of this sections, within 60 days after settlement of final indirect cost rates."
In addition, the contractor shall provide to the Contracting Officer the noted cumulative costs schedule within 60 days of the execution of this agreement.
If the non-Federal entity or contractor has completed performance under any of the contracts covered by this Agreement, a final invoice or voucher must be submitted no later than 120 days from the date on which this Agreement is executed, following guidance from FAR
52.216-7(d)(5) and FAR 52.216-7(11).
Non-Federal entities receiving Federal awards (financial assistance, grants, and cooperative agreements) - Note that even if Federal awards are administratively closed prior to the settlement of final indirect cost rates, non-Federal entities still must comply with the following 2 CFR Part 200 clauses stating, in part:

EXHIBIT 2
City Council

7/1/2025
§200 .345 Post-closeout adjustments and continuing responsibilities (a) The closeout of a Federal award does not affect any of the following:
(1) The right of the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity to disallow costs and recover funds on the basis of a later audit or other review. The Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity must make any cost disallowance determination and notify the non-Federal entity within the record retention period. (2) The obligation of the non-Federal entity to return any funds due as a result of later refunds, corrections, final indirect cost rate adjustments (unless the Federal award in closed in accordance with § 200.344(h)), or other transactions. §200.346 Collection of amounts due
Any funds paid to the non-Federal entity in excess of the amount to which the non-Federal entity is finally determined to be entitled under the terms of the Federal award constitute a debt to the Federal Government. The Federal agency must collect all debts arising out of its Federal awards in accordance with the Standards for the Administrative Collection of Claims (3 I CFR part 90 I).
2. By signing this agreement, the organization acknowledges the accmacy of its contents (e.g. fiscal periods, rates, allocation base, enclosed Statement of Allocated Costs by Grant ID for cost allocation plans, etc.).
3. Fringe benefits include the following: FICA, state unemployment insurance, worker's compensation, and medical insurance.
4. Equipment is defined as tangible personal property (including information technology systems) having a useful life of more than one year and a per-unit acquisition. The capitalization threshold for equipment is $1,000.

Dear City of Santa Ana,
We appreciate your support and the opportunity to provide clarity regarding our audit requirements for 2024.
Our organization was not required to undergo a Single Audit because our federal expenditures for the fiscal year did not meet the $750,000 threshold set by the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200.501). Since our tota l federal funding remained below this limit, we were not subject to the Single Audit requireme nt for the year.
Please let us know if you need any addit ional information or documentation. We're happy to assist.
Best regards,
Working Wardro bes for a New Start

City Of Santa Ana, officers, agents, employees and volunteers A. Section II - WHO IS AN INSURED is amended to include:
4. Any public entity as an additional insured, and the officers, officials, employees, agents and/or volunteers of that public entity, as applicable, who may be named in the Schedule above, when you have agreed in a written contract or written agreement presently in effect or becoming effective during the term of this policy, that such public entity and/or its officers, officials, employees, agents and/or volunteers be added as an additional insured(s) on your policy, but only with respect to liability for "bodily injury'', "property damage" or "personal and advertising injury'' caused, in whole or in part, by:
a. Your negligent acts or omissions; or
b. The negligent acts or omissions of those acting on your behalf; in the performance of your ongoing operations .
No such public entity or individual is an additional insured for liability arising out of the sole negligence by that public entity or its designated individuals. The additional insured status will not be afforded with respect to liability arising out of or related to your activities as a real estate manager for that person or organization.
B. Section Ill - LIMITS OF INSURANCE is amended to include:
8. The limits of insurance applicable to the public entity and applicable individuals identified as an additional insured(s) pursuant to Provision A.4. above, are those specified in the written contract between you and that public entity, or the limits available under this policy, whichever are less.

A Head for Insurance. A Heart for Nonprofits. POLICY NUMBER: 2024-49231 (2) The coverage afforded by this insurance is primary and non-contributory with the additional insured(s)' own insurance.
Paragraphs (1) and (2) do not apply to other insurance to which the additional insured(s) has been added as an additional insured or to other insurance described in paragraph b. below. b. Excesslnsurance
This insurance is excess over:
1. Any of the other insurance, whether primary , excess, contingent or on any other basis:
(a) That is Fire, Extended Coverage, Builder's Risk, Installation Risk or similar coverage for "your work";
(b) That is fire, lightning, or explosion insurance for premises rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner;
(c) That is insurance purchased by you to cover your liability as a tenant for "property damage" to premises temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner: or (d) If the loss arises out of the maintenance or use of aircraft, "autos" or watercraft to the extent not subject to Exclusion g. of SECTION I - COVERAGE A- BODILY INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.
(e) Any other insurance available to an additional insured(s) under this Endorseme nt covering liability for damages which are subject to this endorsement and for which the additional insured(s) has been added as an additional insured by that other insurance. (1) When this insurance is excess, we will have no duty under Coverages A or B to defend the additional insured(s) against any "suit" if any other insurer has a duty to defend the additional insured(s) against that "suit". If no other insurer defends, we will undertake to do so, but we will be entitled to the additional insured(s)' rights against all those other insurers. (2) When this insurance is excess over other insurance, we will pay only our share of the amount of the loss, if any, that exceeds the sum of:
(a) The total amount that all such other insurance would pay for the loss in the absence of this insurance; and
(b) The total of all deductible and self-insured amounts under all that other insurance. (3) We will share the remaining loss, if any, with any other insurance that is not described in this Excess Insurance provision and was not bought specifically to apply in excess of the Limits of Insurance shown in the Declarations of this Coverage Part. c. Methods of Sharing
If all of the other insurance available to the additional insured(s) permits contributio n by equal shares, we will follow this method also. Under this approach each insurer contributes equal amounts until it has paid its applicable limit of insurance or none of the loss remains , whichever comes first.
If any other the other insurance available to the additional insured(s) does not permit contribution by equal shares , we will contribute by limits. Under this method, each insurer's share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit of insurance to the total applicable limits of insurance of all insurers.
