Common use of CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION Clause in Contracts

CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION. Construction and renovation projects for a local government’s principal Emergency Operations Center (EOC), are allowable under the EMPA Program. The Division must provide written approval prior to the use of any EMPA Program funds for construction or renovation. Requests for EMPA Program funds for construction of an EOC must be accompanied by a justification to their EMPA Grant Manager for review and processing. The above examples are not intended to exclude other construction projects as potentially allowable costs. For example, construction of a facility for the storage of critical emergency supplies, as a Point of Distribution (POD) for emergency distribution, and/or to serve as a staging area for deployment of emergency response resources is potentially an allowable expense. Other construction or renovation projects, such as a secondary or local EOC, will be considered on a case-by-case basis, with advance written approval.
