Advanced Payment. Water Code section 10551 authorizes advanced payment by the State for projects included and implemented in an applicable Integrated Regional Water Management Plan, and when the project proponent is a nonprofit organization; a disadvantaged community (DAC); or the project benefits a DAC. If a project is awarded less than $1,000,000 in grant funds, the project proponent may receive an advanced payment of fifty (50) percent of the grant award; the remaining fifty (50) percent of the grant award will be reimbursed in arrears after the advanced funds of a budget category have been fully expended. Within ninety (90) calendar days of execution of the Grant Agreement, the Grantee may provide the State an Advanced Payment Request. Advanced Payment Requests received ninety-one (91) calendar days after the execution of this Agreement will not be eligible to receive an advanced payment. The Advanced Payment Request shall contain the following: A. Documentation demonstrating that each Local Project Sponsor (if different from the Grantee, as listed in Exhibit I) was notified about their eligibility to receive an advanced payment and a response from the Local Project Sponsor stating whether it wishes to receive the advanced payment or not. B. If the Grantee is requesting the advanced payment, the request(s) shall include: i. Descriptive information of each project with an update on project status ii. The names of the entities that will receive the funding for each project, including, but not limited to, an identification as to whether the project proponent or proponents are nonprofit organizations or a DAC, or whether the project benefits a DAC iii.

The Funding Plan must clearly identify the total budget (at Budget Category Level) for each project clearly showing the portion of advanced payment and reimbursement funds. iv. Any other information that DWR may deem necessary C. Upon review and approval of the Advanced Payment Request, DWR will authorize payment of the fully requested amount for the qualified project(s). Based on the project’s Funding Plan and other considerations, DWR may determine it is not prudent to advance the full request in a single disbursement. In such a case, DWR will develop a “Disbursement Schedule,” to disburse funds in installments. This Disbursement Schedule may change based on the project’s ongoing compliance with the Advanced Payment requirements and the project’s cash flow needs. D. Once DWR authorizes the Advanced Payment Request, the Grantee shall submit Advanced Payment Invoice(s) for the initial amount based on the “Disbursement Schedule” on behalf of the LPS(s), containing the request for each qualified project, to the State with signature and date of the Grantee’s Project Representative, as indicated in Paragraph 21, “Project Representative.” The Grantee shall be responsible for the timely distribution of the advanced funds to the respective LPS(s). The Advanced Payment Invoice(s) shall be submitted on forms provided by the State and shall meet the following format requirements: i. Invoice shall contain the date of the invoice, the time period covered by the invoice, and the total amount due. ii. Invoice shall be itemized based on the budget categories specified in Exhibit B, “Budget.” iii.

The Grantee may, within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of receipt of such notice, submit additional documentation to cure such deficiency(ies). iv. On a quarterly basis, the Grantee will submit an Accountability Report to the State that demonstrates how actual expenditures compare with the scheduled budget. The Accountability Report shall include the following information: 1. An itemization of how advanced funds have been spent to-date (Expenditure Report), including documentation that supports the disbursements (e.g., contractor invoices, receipts, personnel hours, etc.). Accountability Reports shall be itemized based on the budget categories (i.e., tasks) specified in Exhibit B. 2. An updated Accountability Report including an updated Funding Plan that depicts how the remaining advanced funds will be expended and the activities and deliverables associated with the advanced funds within the timeframe agreed upon by DWR and the Grantee when the advanced payment request was approved. 3. Documentation that the funds were placed in a non-interest bearing account, including the dates of deposits and withdrawals from that account. 4. Proof of distribution of advanced funds to LPS(s), if applicable. v. The State’s Project Manager will notify the Grantee, in a timely manner, when, upon review of the Accountability Report, the State determines that any portion of the expenditures claimed are not eligible costs. The Grantee may, within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of receipt of such notice, submit additional documentation to cure such deficiency(ies). If costs are not consistent with the tasks in Exhibit A, the State will reject the claim and remove them from the Accountability Report. E.

Within ninety (90) calendar days of execution of the Grant Agreement, the Grantee may provide the State an Advanced Payment Request.
