The traditional shields in which the City of Clermont Police Department currently uses are very bulky and cumbersome, which makes the deployment of them difficult and time consuming to officers, especially in a time of desperate measure. The police department has found an alternative option for ballistic shields. The particular shields offer ballistic protection and are easy to deploy. Scope of Work The City of Clermont will be purchasing portable ballistic shields that will assist officers in emergency events, such as active shooters. These ballistic shields are critical to the overall success of the agency, as it will allow for rapid deployment of the shield during critical incidents. By purchasing these ballistic shields, the City of Clermont is ensuring the safety of their officers, as well as the safety of their residents and visitors.

Disallowed costs means those charges to a Federal award that the Federal awarding agency or pass -through entity determines to be unallowable, in accordance with the applicable Federal statutes, regulations, or the terms and conditions of the Federal award. Equipment means tangible personal property (including information technology systems) having a useful life of more than one year and a per -unit acquisition cost which equals or exceeds the lesser of the capitalization level established by the non -Federal entity for financial statement purposes, or $5,000. See also §§200.12 Capital assets, 200.20 Computing devices, 200.48 General purpose equipment, 200.58 Information technology systems, 200.89 Special purpose equipment, and 200.94 Supplies. Fiscal Agent refers to the agency responsible for the administration of the PSN award programs. FDLE has been assigned as the certified Fiscal Agent for PSN awards. Improper payment means any payment that should not have been made or that was made in an incorrect amount (including overpayments and underpayments) under statutory, contractual, administrative, or other legally applicable requirements. Improper payment also includes any payment to an ineligible party, any payment for an ineligible good or service, any duplicate payment, any payment for a good or service not received (except for such payments where authorized by law), any payment that does not account for credit for applicable discounts, and any payment where insufficient or lack of documentation prevents a reviewer from discerning whether a payment was proper. Micro -purchase means a purchase of supplies or services using simplified acquisition procedures, the aggregate amount of which does not exceed the micro -purchase threshold. The non -Federal entity uses such procedures in order to expedite the completion of its lowest -dollar small purchase transactions and minimize the associated administrative burden and cost. The micro -purchase threshold is set by the Federal Acquisition Regulation in 48 CFR Subpart 2.1 (Definitions). It is $10,000 except as otherwise discussed in Subpart 2.1 of that regulation, but this threshold is periodically adjusted for inflation. Modified Total Direct Cost (MTDC) means all direct salaries and wages, applicable fringe benefits, materials and supplies, services, travel, and up to the first $25,000 of each award (regardless of the period of performance of the awards under the award). MTDC excludes equipment, capital expenditures, charges for patient care, rental costs, tuition remission, scholarships and fellowships, participant support costs and the portion of each award in excess of $25,000. Other items may only be excluded when necessary to avoid a serious inequity in the distribution of indirect costs, and with the approval of the cognizant agency for indirect costs. Non -Federal entity is a state, local government, Indian tribe, institution of higher education (IHE), or nonprofit organization that carries out a Federal award as a recipient or subrecipient.

Page 10 of 29 Performance goal means a target level of performance expressed as a tangible, measurable objective, against which actual achievement can be compared, including a goal expressed as a quantitative standard, value, or rate. In some instances (e.g., discretionary research awards), this may be limited to the requirement to submit technical performance reports (to be evaluated in accordance with agency policy). Period of performance means the time during which the non -Federal entity may incur new obligations to carry out the work authorized under the Federal award. The Federal awarding agency or pass -through entity must include start and end dates of the period of performance in the Federal award (see §§200.211 Information contained in a Federal award paragraph (b)(5) and 200.332 Requirements for pass -through entities, paragraph (a)(1)(iv)). Protected Personally Identifiable Information (PII) means an individual's first name or first initial and last name in combination with any one or more of types of information, including, but not limited to social security numbers; passport numbers; credit card numbers; clearances; bank numbers; biometrics; date and place of birth; mother's maiden name; criminal, medical, and financial records; and educational transcripts. This does not include PH that is required by law to be disclosed. (See also § 200.79 Personally Identifiable Information (PII)). Questioned cost means a cost that is questioned by the auditor because of an audit finding 1) that resulted from a violation or possible violation of a statute, regulation, or the terms and conditions of a Federal award, including for funds used to match Federal funds; 2) where the costs, at the time of the audit, are not supported by adequate documentation; or 3) where the costs incurred appear unreasonable and do not reflect the actions a prudent person would take in the circumstances. Simplified acquisition threshold means the dollar amount below which a non -Federal entity may purchase property or services using small purchase methods. Non -Federal entities adopt small purchase procedures in order to expedite the purchase of items costing less than the simplified acquisition threshold. The simplified acquisition threshold is set by the Federal Acquisition Regulation at 48 C.F.R. Subpart 2.1 (Definitions) and in accordance with 41 U.S.C. § 1908. As of the publication of this part, the simplified acquisition threshold is $250,000, but this threshold is periodically adjusted for inflation. (Also see definition of Micro -purchase, 2 C.F.R.§ 200.67). Subaward is an award provided by a pass -through entity to a recipient for the recipient to carry out part of a Federal award received by the pass -through entity. It does not include payments to a contractor or payments to an individual who is a beneficiary of a Federal program. A subaward may be provided through any form of legal agreement, including an agreement that the pass -through entity considers a contract. Recipient means a non -Federal entity that receives an award from a pass -through entity to carry out part of a Federal program; but does not include an individual that is a beneficiary of such program. Supplies means all tangible personal property other than those described in §200.33 Equipment. A computing device is a supply if the acquisition cost is less than the lesser of the capitalization level established by the non - Federal entity for financial statement purposes or $5,000, regardless of the length of its useful life. See also §§200.20 Computing devices and 200.33 Equipment.
