Common use of NDRC Competition Objectives Clause in Contracts

NDRC Competition Objectives. The Competition sought to meet the following six objectives: A. Fairly and effectively allocate $1 billion in CDBG-NDR funds. B. Create multiple examples of modern disaster recovery that apply science-based and forward-looking risk analysis to address recovery, resilience, and revitalization needs. C. Leave a legacy of institutionalizing, in as many states and local jurisdictions as possible, the implementation of thoughtful, sound, and resilient approaches to addressing future risks. D. Provide resources to help communities plan and implement disaster recovery that makes them more resilient to future extreme weather events or other shocks, while also improving quality of life for existing residents. E. Fully engage community stakeholders to inform them about the impacts of climate change and develop pathways to resilience based on sound science. F. Leverage investments from the philanthropic community to help communities define problems, set policy goals, explore options, and craft solutions to inform their own local and regional resilient recovery strategies. These six objectives are memorialized so that all parties to this Agreement, and all parties involved with carrying out this Agreement, better understand the purpose of the NRDC funds and fully implement the intent of the NDRC. The NDRC NOFA defined “Partner” as a state, a unit of local government, a nonprofit entity, a private developer, a financial institution, or another entity chosen by the applicant to assist the applicant in applying for funding or in carrying out a funding award or project under this NOFA, and which submits a letter of intent and signs a partnership agreement to assist in that capacity, and which may be referenced by the applicant for purposes of demonstrating additional capacity for planning, design, financing, or implementation in applying for funding under the NOFA. As part of the NDRC application, HCD provided executed partnership letters of intent and agreements, signed by the executive of the Partner entity, demonstrating a commitment to work collaboratively throughout the entirety of the grant application and implementation process and to undertake specified actions. HCD has one formal partnership for the CRC project(s) with the County of Tuolumne. HCD has four (4) separate formal partnership agreements for the FWHP with: 1) SNC; 2) the United States Forest Service (“USFS”); 3) the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (“CAL FIRE”); and 4) California Conservation Corps (“CCC”). HCD has one partnership agreement for the BUF project with SNC. HCD has a number of other partnerships with other state agencies, but those agencies will not be a party to the HCD NDR agreements. Through these less formal partnerships, the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (“OPR”) and the California Environmental Protection Agency (“CalEPA”) will continue to participate with other partners via the “Core Team”. The Core Team is composed of HCD, SNC, USFS, County of Tuolumne, CAL FIRE, and on occasion representatives of OPR, CalEPA, and CCC, and it oversees HCD administration and the Partner’s coordination of project development to ensure that the Program becomes operational, scalable, and replicable. This Agreement must be executed before implementation of CDBG-NDR project activities. Pursuant to FR-5936-N-01, Section V.A.1.g. (v), this Agreement and other associated partnership agreements require parties to comply with CDBG-NDR requirements, including requirements found in the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013 PL 113-2, Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5302, et seq.), the CDBG program federal regulations at 24 CFR part 570, FR-59-N-01, and any other applicable Federal Register notices, 2 CFR 200 requirements and commitments made in HCD’s Phase 1 and Phase 2 NDRC applications. As a condition of the State of California applying for CDBG-NDR funds, the State made certain certifications, which are shown in Exhibit F (Certifications), which involve at minimum: A. The State of California, and any contractor, subrecipient, or designated public agency carrying out an activity with CDBG–NDR funds, certifying that such entities possess the legal authority to carry out the project activities, in accordance with all applicable federal regulations and requirements. B. The State of California and its Partners certifying that project activities to be administered with funds under the NDRC are consistent with the State of California’s application. HCD and HUD have entered into a federal grant agreement for CDBG-NDR funding. Under that agreement, HCD is the sole entity that will have access to HUD’s Line of Credit Control System (“LOCCS”) through the Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting (“DRGR”) system. HCD will use DRGR to draw down CDBG-NDR funding. Under PL113-2, HCD is legally and financially accountable for the use of all funds and may not delegate or contract to any other party any inherently governmental responsibilities related to the federal grant management of the funds, such as oversight, policy development, and financial management. CDBG-NDR regulations and requirements impose specific funding restrictions (described in Exhibit D), which apply to HCD and also to the Rural Community Assistance Corporation (“RCAC”) under this Agreement and their subrecipients, contractors, and BUF borrowers in conjunction with all approved BUF project activities. The CWRP is made up of three (3) different but interrelated activities. The Program is designed to create partnerships and practices needed to support resilience in the communities and natural systems in California’s upper watersheds, which provide sixty (60) percent of the State’s developed water resources.
