Congressional Record - House, H1 1644-H1 1728 on September 28, 1996, H12266-
H 12267 on October 3, 1996; and 2 CFR 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements,
Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, December 26, 2013.
Congress enacted the Museum and Library Services Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 1 1 1-340,
codified at 20 U.S.C. § 9101 et seq.), which also incorporates Library Services and
Technology Act (LSTA).
a. Performance of the provisions of this agreement is subject to the
conditions and availability of funds as awarded by the State Librarian
under said Act.
43. Public Records Act: Material maintained or used by the California State Library is
considered "public record" under the Public Records Act (PRA) at Government
Code, sections 6250, et. seq. This includes the Interim and Final reports, and any
other written communications between the parties. Subrecipient agrees to
ensure that all content contained in its written reports are appropriate for
publication. Said material, along with all other reports, documentation and data
collected during the term of the Agreement, will be subject to disclosure unless it
qualifies for exemption under the PRA in whole or in part. Subrecipient agrees to
alert the State Library as to a basis for exemption, if any exists.
44. Publicity Obligations: Subrecipient will notify the State Library of any promotional
materials or publications resulting from the award no later than five (5) days in
advance of distribution, whether they are print, film, electronic, or in any other
format or medium. Copies of all promotional materials will be provided to the
State Library. Subrecipient will acknowledge the LSTA support as noted above.
Subrecipient agrees that the State Library may include information about this
grant and its outcomes in its own annual reports, with specific reference to
Subrecipient, and may distribute such information to third parties.
45. Records: Communications, grant related documents, data, original receipts and
invoices must be maintained by Subrecipient and shall be made available to the
State Library upon request. Subrecipient agrees to maintain adequate grant
program records and adequate financial records consistent with generally
accepted accounting practices, and to retain all records for at least five (5)
years after the end-of-term. The State Library may monitor or conduct an onsite
evaluation of Subrecipient's operation to ensure compliance with this
Agreement, with reasonable advance notice.
46. Reduction of Waste: In the performance of this Agreement, Subrecipient shall
take all reasonable steps to ensure that materials purchased or utilized in the
course of the project are not wasted. Steps should include, but not be limited to:
Docusign Envelope ID:5163D1BC-ED03-41AD-91DF-92914A77F1D5

Page 20 of 40
the use of used, reusable, or recyclable products; discretion in the amount of
materials used; alternatives to disposal of materials consumed; and the practice
of other waste reduction measures where feasible and appropriate.
47. Reimbursement Limitations: Under no circumstances shall the Subrecipient seek
reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for a cost or activity that has been or
will be paid for through another funding source. The Subrecipient shall not seek
reimbursement for any costs used to meet cost sharing or matching requirements
of any other California State Library funded program.
48. Reports and Claims: It is the responsibility of the recipient of these instructions to
see that the proper individual to supply the required reports and claims receives
the instructions and makes the required reports and claims to the California State
Library.
a. The subrecipient shall be responsible for submitting to the State Library
Narrative Reports detailing progress and activities. The reports are due on
the dates specified in the reporting schedule detailed in the Procedures
and Requirements section.
b. The subrecipient shall be responsible for submitting to the State Library
Financial Reports reflecting project expenditure activity. The reports are
due on the dates specified in the reporting schedule detailed in the
Procedures and Requirements section.
c. To obtain payment hereunder the subrecipient shall submit authorized
claims provided by the State Library for that purpose, on each of the
following mentioned dates for payment, and the California State Library
agrees to reimburse the Library as soon thereafter as State fiscal
procedures will permit.
d. In-full payments are typically made for awards totaling $20,000 or less.
e. Funding for awards totaling more than $20,000 are issued in three
payments following a 45%/45%/10% payment schedule, unless an
exception has been made.
f. The final 10% of the grant award (if applicable) is payable only if the
subrecipient fulfills all project reporting requirements and returns all
unspent funds by the time specified in the Grant Guide. Failure to provide
timely reports is a serious breach of an award recipient's administrative
duty under the award, which may result in federal audit exceptions
against the State and the loss of LSTA funds.
g. Payment will be provided to cover the expenditures incurred by the
subrecipient for the project in the following manner:

o $23,186 upon execution of the agreement and submission of claim by
fiscal agent
o If applicable, second payment will be made upon approval of first
quarter financial report and receipt of claim form in the amount of
$23,186
o If applicable, final payment will be made upon approval of all final
reports and receipt of claim form in the amount of
$5,152
49. Self-Dealing and Arm's Length Transactions: All expenditures for which
reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement is sought shall be the result of arm's-
length transactions and not the result of, or motivated by, self-dealing on the
part of the Subrecipient or any employee or agent of the Subrecipient. For
purposes of this provision, "arm's-length transactions" are those in which both
parties are on equal footing and fair market forces are at play, such as when
multiple vendors are invited to compete for an entity's business and the entity
chooses the lowest of the resulting bids. "Self-dealing" is involved where an
individual or entity is obligated to act as a trustee or fiduciary, as when handling
public funds, and chooses to act in a manner that will benefit the individual or
entity, directly or indirectly, to the detriment of, and in conflict with, the public
purpose for which all award monies are to be expended.
50. Severability: If any part of this Agreement is found to be unlawful or
unenforceable, such provisions will be voided and severed from this Agreement,
but the remainder of the provisions in the Agreement will remain in full force and
effect.
51 . Site Visits: The Subrecipient shall allow the California State Library to access and
conduct site visits, with reasonable notice, at which grant funds are expended
and related work being performed at any time during the performance of the
work and for up to ninety (90) days after completion of the work, or until all issues
related to the grant project have been resolved. A site visit may include, but not
be limited to, monitoring the use of grant funds, provide technical assistance
when needed, and to visit the State funded project.
52. Subrecipient: The Subrecipient is the government or other legal entity to which a
subaward is awarded and which is accountable to the grantee for the use of
the funds provided.
a. The subrecipient will make reports to the State Librarian in such form and
containing such information as may be required to enable the California
State Library to perform its duties. The subrecipient will keep such records
and afford such access as the California State Librarian or Library may find
necessary to assure the correctness and verification of such reports.

b. The control of funds and title to property derived there from shall be in a
subrecipient agency for the uses and purposes provided; a subrecipient
agency will administer such property and funds and shall apply funds only
for the purposes for which they were granted.
53. Subrecipient Accountability The Subrecipient is ultimately responsible and
accountable for the manner in which the grant funds are utilized and
accounted for and the way the grant is administered, even if the Subrecipient
has contracted with another organization, public or private, to administer or
operate its grant program. In the event an audit should determine that grant
funds are owed to the California State Library, the Subrecipient is responsible for
repayment of the funds to the California State Library.
54. Subrecipient Funds: It is mutually agreed that the Subrecipient is responsible for
furnishing funds beyond the grant award that may be necessary to complete
the project.
55. Termination: The Agreement shall be subject to termination by the State
Librarian or designee upon notice to the Subrecipient at least thirty (30) days
prior to the effective date of termination. In the event this agreement is
terminated, the Subrecipient shall deliver to the State Librarian copies of all
reports, accounting, data, and materials prepared up to the date of termination.
The State Librarian shall determine, and pay the Subrecipient for necessary and
appropriate expenditures and obligations up to the date of termination which
have not been covered by prior installments previously paid to the Subrecipient.
Upon such termination, the unused portion of the grant award must be returned
to the California State Library within 45 days. If funding has been advanced to
the Subrecipient, any unobligated balances, as determined by the State
Librarian, shall be returned to the State Library within 45 days of the notice of
termination.
The State Librarian is empowered to review, audit, and inspect the project for
compliance with this agreement.
56. Timeline: Time is of the essence to this Agreement. It is mutually agreed between
the parties that the grant application and the timeline included therein are part
of the Agreement.
57. Unused Funds: At the end-of-term Subrecipient agrees to return any
unexpended or unaccounted for funds to the State Library, or to submit a written
request for an extension of the award period. Funds will be considered
unexpended or unaccounted if they were: (1) not used for their intended
purpose, or (2) used inconsistently with the terms of this Agreement.

Page 23 of 40
Funds will also be considered unaccounted for, and must be returned, if the
proposal outcomes or deliverables are materially incomplete by the end-of-term
or earlier termination, as determined by the State Library in its sole discretion.
58. Waiver of Rights: California State Library shall not be deemed to have waived
any rights under this Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed
by California State Library. No delay or omission on the part of California State
Library in exercising any rights shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other
right. A waiver by California State Library of a provision of this Agreement shall
not prejudice or constitute a waiver of California State Library's right otherwise to
demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this
Agreement. No prior waiver by California State Library, nor any course of dealing
between California State Library and Subrecipient, shall constitute a waiver of
any of California State Library's rights or of any of Subrecipient's obligations as to
any future transactions. Whenever the consent of California State Library is
required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by California State
Library in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent
instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be
granted or withheld in the sole discretion of California State Library.
59. Work Products: Subrecipient shall provide California State Library with copies of
all final products identified in the Work Plan and Application. Subrecipient shall
also provide the State Library with copies of all public education and advertising
material produced pursuant to this Agreement.
60. Workers' Compensation: The State of California will not provide Workers'
Compensation insurance for Subrecipient or Subrecipient's employees or
contract personnel. If Subrecipient hires employees to perform services required
by this Agreement, Subrecipient shall provide Workers' Compensation insurance
for them. The Subrecipient is aware of Labor Code Section 3700, which requires
every employer to be insured against liability for Workers' Compensation or to
undertake self-insurance in accordance with the Labor Code, and the
Subrecipient agrees to comply with such provisions before commencing the
performance of the work of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT C: LSTA AWARD REQUIREMENTS
A. CIPA Compliance
The Institute of Museum and Library Services establishes guidelines to ensure that the
California State Library's implementation of the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA)
complies with the 2003 decision of the US Supreme Court. The California State Library is
required by 20 U.S.C. Section 9134(b)(7) to provide assurance that we will comply with
20 U.S.C. Section 9134(f), which sets out standards relating to Internet Safety for public
libraries and public elementary school and secondary school libraries.
Under CIPA, California State Library must assure the Federal Government that no funds
will be made available for public libraries and public elementary and secondary school
libraries to purchase computers to access the Internet or pay for the direct costs of
accessing the Internet unless the libraries have certified that they have Internet safety
policies and technology protection measures, e.g., software filtering technology, in
place. California State Library must collect certifications from libraries subject to CIPA
that apply to the States for Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funding. Public
libraries and public elementary and secondary school libraries must be in compliance
with CIPA to obtain IMLS State Program funding which will be used to purchase
computers used to access the Internet or to pay for direct costs associated with
accessing the Internet.
The director or the authorized representative of the Subrecipient organization receiving
LSTA funding must certify that the library is one of the following:
An individual applicant that is CIPA compliant.
The applicant library, as a public library, a public elementary school library or a public
secondary school library, has complied with the requirements of Section 9134(f)(1 ) of
the Library Services and Technology Act.
Representing a group of applicants. Those applicants that are subject to CIPA
requirements have certified they are CIPA compliant.
All public libraries, public elementary school libraries, and public secondary school
libraries, participating in the application have complied with the requirements of
Section 9134(f)(1) of the Library Services and Technology Act. The library submitting this

application has collected Internet Safety Certifications from all other applicants who
are subject to CIPA requirements. The library will keep these certifications on file with
other application materials, and if awarded funds, with other project records.
Not Subject to CIPA Requirements.
CIPA requirements do not apply because no LSTA funds made available under this
grant program will be used to purchase computers that can access the Internet or to
pay for direct costs associated with accessing the Internet.
For more information on CIPA, please visit the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA)
webpage on the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) website.
B. Contracting Guidance
OMB's Code of Federal Regulations outlines important regulations surrounding
contracts that, as a recipient of LSTA funds, the State Library and its subrecipients must
follow.
C. Language Access Services
To remain compliant with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, all LSTA funding
recipients must take reasonable steps to make LSTA-funded awards accessible to
people with limited English proficiency.
These procedures apply to all of California State Library's federally funded programs
and activities and extends to all programs and activities conducted by the State
Library's federally funded sub-recipients.
