Grant Reporting Issues
• The next Quarterly Reports will be due for the April – June 2015 reporting period. All reports need to be submitted on time. On-time submission prevents the need for a letter to the Board of County Commission and State Auditor General audit criticism.
• Time Extensions and Change Requests are reviewed by the E911 Board on a quarterly basis unless there is an emergency need. Change requests are needed for scope changes, time extensions and utilization of interest. E911 Board approval should be obtained prior to implementation or use of funding. Next scheduled review is July 2015.
• Final Documentation (copy of invoices and payments [checks]) need to be submitted on time to prevent State Auditor General audit criticism.
• Delinquent grant documentation and report supplemental can affect the awarding of future grant application.
• The E911 Board requests that counties with pending grant applications or change requests attend the board meeting either in person or on the conference call to review any concerns or issues.
Grant Report Submissions
• Reports are due 30 days after the end of the quarter. To assure processing of Reports and Change Requests, have the information submitted prior to the Board Meetings. Board staff sends out notifications of final processing date.
• The email address established for submitting your Grant Quarterly Reports, Change Requests and the Final Reports and Documentation is: [email protected]
• This should be used for all of the grant reporting paperwork being submitted to the E911 Board. Not for grant submissions or other responses to information requests.
E911 Board Grant Programs
E911 Board does not dictate the manufacturer or vendor for the county system.
The E911 Board does determine the funding level or grant award for the E911 system requested. In the grant justification, the E911 Board reviews what is needed for E911 system and what is nice to have.
Grants awarded have a maximum two year period for expenditures.
E911 Board encourages all counties in need of funding for E911 system and equipment upgrades and replacement to submit an application.
E911 Board Grant applications and rules include the terms and conditions for the grants.
Grant Application Associated Quotes
• All grant applications shall be accompanied by at least one quote for equipment or services. Grant applications totaling $35,000.00 or more must be accompanied by at least three written substantiated competitive quotes from different vendors, unless a sole source request is approved in compliance with General Conditions.
• Complete quote submittals shall include a detailed scope of work, all pages included in the vendor proposal, breakdown of all costs including equipment, service tasks and deliverables.
• If the grant application does not exceed the threshold amount of $195,000, the county can initiate a request for approval for sole source funding.
E911 Board Grant Additional Reminders
Applications for equipment that is “End of Life” should included the manufacturer’s documentation.
Include an electronic file on CD with the application.
Multiple projects with different priorities are difficult to split in awarding categories. Comply with the grant conditions on grant submittals.
Recommend that you submit early so that they can be reviewed for completeness.
Use grant submission checklist to verify submitting the complete grant applications.
Grant Carry Forward Limitation
