Identifying Number: 2022-003 Finding: During discussion, observations, and our understanding of internal control, we observed the District followed the State of Missouri's guidelines for construction projects, which states that public works projects valued at $75,000 and under are not subject to prevailing wage regardless of federal funding source. Two of the seven construction contracts paid with federal assistance funds that were below $75,000, but in excess of the applicable $2,000 federal threshold, did not have prevailing wage rate clauses. Question costs - $13,420.

The City of Franklin respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2022. Contact Person/Persons Responsible for Implementing Corrective Action: Eric Stuckey, City Administrator, 615-791-3217 2022-001: Franklin Transit Authority Program Review Action Taken/Planned: As recommended, the City of Franklin and the Authority have clarified the federal grant organization as follows: For transit services, the organization is as follows: (1) Recipient: Franklin Transit Authority (2) Contractor (current): The TMA Group For the regional vanpool program, the organization is as follows: (1) Recipient: Franklin Transit Authority (2) Sub-Recipient: Regional Transportation/Williamson County (3) Contractor (current): The TMA Group The Authority has previously and will continue to be reported as part of the City of Franklin in a special revenue fund and includes the Authority?s grants in its single audit. For the fiscal year 2022 audit, the City and the Contractor have coordinated to ensure federal grants for transit services and vanpool services are excluded from the Contractor audit. For fiscal year 2023, the City and the Contractor developed backup needed for oversight of each payment to the Contractor for contracted transit services and grant-related contracted vanpool services. Monthly reporting will clarify financial activities of the recipient (Franklin Transit), subrecipient (Regional Transportation Authority/Williamson County), and contractor (The TMA Group). For capital expenditures that the City and the Authority have ownership, the City will continue to pay the vendor directly. The City of Franklin and the Authority have developed a job description, issued a job posting, and conducted interviews for a part-time Contract Compliance Monitor. The position, the Authority?s only employee, will monitor the activities of the Contractor (currently The TMA Group) and the subrecipient (Williamson County) to ensure that the awards are used for authorized purposes, in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the contract or subaward. Based on the amount and level of work required, the position is under direction of the Authority. The monitor essentially functions in a control/compliance role. The position is anticipated to be paid through the City?s payroll process from the Authority fund. Anticipated Completion Date/Date Completed: January 2023

Finding #2022-001: #84.425U COVID-19 ? Education Stabilization Fund ? ESSER III Federal Grantor: U.S. Department of Education Pass-through Award Number: 2022-533612-DPI-ESSERFIII-165 Pass-through Entity: Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Criteria: Wage rate requirements apply to the Education Stabilization Fund when laborers and mechanics employed by contractors or subcontractors work on construction contracts more than $2,000. Laborers must be paid wages not less than those established for the locality of the project (prevailing wage rates) by the Department of Labor (DOL). Nonfederal entities shall include in their contracts subject to wage rate requirements a provision that the contractor or subcontractor comply with those requirements and the DOL regulations. This includes a requirement for the contractor or subcontractor to submit to the District weekly payrolls and a statement of compliance (certified payrolls). Condition: There was one Education Stabilization Fund construction project performed by a subcontractor. Grant expenditures for the project paid by Education Stabilization Fund totaled $424,000. There was not a prevailing wage clause in the contract and certified payrolls were not received. Cause: The District was not aware that wage rate requirements applied to the construction project until after it was completed. Effect: A reimbursement request was made for expenditures that did not comply with wage rate requirements. Questioned Costs: $424,000. Recommendation: Establish controls to comply with wage rate requirements related to the Education Stabilization Fund. Consider determining if the contractor performing the project in 2021-2022 paid prevailing wage rates for costs reimbursed by the grant. Grantee Response:At the time that we committed to doing this project, we informed our referendum construction manager that we would be using federal funds to pay for this additional work. With us informing them of that, we assumed that all required paperwork would be completed to comply with the Davis-Bacon Act. Unfortunately, we thought this was sufficient notification for them to support us with compliance. In our follow-up communications with our primary HV AC subcontractor we learned at the time when referendum work was contracted in 2019, they were paying prevailing wage. We worked with legal counsel to develop a contract that is compliant with the Davis-Bacon Requirements. To make sure the paperwork is in place copies of such contracts will be sent to the business office before work commences as well as the compliance documentation when work is complete. We are also conducting a review of our written procedures to be completed by June 30, 2023. Contact Person: Carey Bradley Anticipated Completion: June 30, 2023

Views of Responsible Officials: APHSA did not intentionally disregard the requirements noted under the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Subaward Reporting. Now that we are aware of these requirements, internal processes are in place to provide timely registration of first tier subawards of $30,000 or more in the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) and report subaward data through FSRS. Though registering subawards over $30,000 is a requirement as noted, the omission did not affect the financial reporting and thus there are no questioned costs.
