Grant funds must be used to support new program activities or to augment existing funds that expand current program activities.

WITHHOLDING OF GRANT DISBURSEMENTS The BSCC may withhold all or any portion of the funds provided by this Grant Agreement in the event the Grantee has materially and substantially breached the terms and conditions of this Grant Agreement. At such time as the balance of state funds allocated to the Grantee reaches five percent (5%), the BSCC may withhold that amount as security, to be released to the Grantee upon compliance with all grant provisions, including: submittal and approval of the final invoice; submittal and approval of the progress report; and submittal and approval of any additional required reports. The BSCC will not reimburse Grantee for identified as ineligible for grant funding.

Attachment G Certification of Compliance with BSCC Policies Regarding Debarment, Theft and Embezzlement It is the policy of the BSCC to protect grant funds from unreasonable risks of fraudulent, criminal, or other improper use. As such, the Board will not enter into contracts or provide reimbursement to applicants that have been: debarred by any federal, state, or local government entities during the period of debarment; or convicted of theft, or embezzlement of federal, state, or local government grant funds for a period of three years following conviction. Furthermore, the BSCC requires grant recipients to provide an assurance that there has been no applicable debarment, disqualification, suspension, or removal from a federal, state or local grant program on the part of the grantee at the time of application and that the grantee will immediately notify the BSCC should such debarment or conviction occur during the term of the Grant contract. BSCC also requires that all grant recipients include, as a condition of award to a subgrantee or subcontractor, a requirement that the subgrantee or subcontractor will provide the same assurances to the grant recipient. If a grant recipient wishes to consider a subgrantee or subcontractor that has been debarred or convicted, the grant recipient must submit a written request for exception to the BSCC along with supporting documentation. By checking the following boxes and signing below, applicant affirms that: [ ] I/We are not currently debarred by any federal, state, or local entity from applying for or receiving federal, state, or local grant funds. [ ] I/We have not been convicted of any crime involving theft, fraud, or embezzlement of federal, state, or local grant funds within the last three years. We will notify the BSCC should such debarment or conviction occur during the term of the Grant contract. [ ] I/We will hold subgrantees and subcontractors to these same requirements. A grantee may make a request in writing to the Executive Director of the BSCC for an exception to the debarment policy. Any determination made by the Executive Director shall be made in writing.
