While we did not have the wording "not to exceed a specific amount" on the contract in question, we did have a set amount of time to not exceed. This amount of time and the cost per hour was figured into the budget. The budget was reviewed prior to making expenditures and monitored on at least a monthly basis to not exceed the amount budgeted. However, we now realize the need to include such wording. Moving forward, we will amend the current contracts to add a "not to exceed a specific amount" and continue to monitor the budget to not exceed the budget for the 2022-2023 fiscal year. We will also add the wording "not to exceed a specific amount" on all contracts for the 2023-2024 school year.

Statement of Effect: The District is not in compliance with 2 CFR Section 200.213.

Compliance requirement ? Procurement, and suspension and debarment Institutional Comments on Findings and Recommendations: 1. The institution does not concur with the auditor findings on the deficiencies in a), b) and c), about requesting quotation because, In accordance with the procedures under 2 CFR ? 200.320, and the definitions under 2 CFR 200.1 and 48 CFR Part 2, subpart 2.101 to support response to an emergency; the seven (7) referenced procurement transactions were under the Micro-purchase threshold for a national emergency response and the purchase could be awarded without soliciting competition or quotations. 2.

1. The institution does not agree, nor concurs, with the auditors on this finding because the institution used the reimbursement payment method. This method was the preferred one when the non-federal entity, as our institution, cannot meet the requirements in 2 CFR, section 200.305(b)(1) for advance payment and the federal awarding agency sets a specific condition for use of the reimbursement. Title 2 of the CFR Part 200.305(b)(1), establish among others: "The non-Federal entity must be paid in advance, provided it maintains or demonstrates the willingness to maintain both written procedures that minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds and disbursement by the non-Federal entity, and financial management systems that meet the standards for fund control and accountability as established in this part". Furthermore, 2 CFR Part 200.305(b)(3) states: "Reimbursement is the preferred method when the requirements in this paragraph (b) cannot be met, when the Federal awarding agency sets a specific condition per ? 200.208, or when the non-Federal entity requests payment by reimbursement. " Since our institution was not able to meet 2 CFR, section 200.305(b)(1), and the HEERF guidelines has specific condition on how to use the funds; we choose the reimbursement method in the execution of the funds. Our institution adopted all HEERF instructions and guidelines as their policies to comply with the HEERF requirements, in addition to the CFR's regulations.

The institution does not agree, nor concurs, with the auditors on this finding because, as we mention in number 1 above, the institution adopted and followed the federal award and HEERF guidelines in the execution of the funds. The HEER funds were provided during the special national emergency caused by COVID-19. The DOE and HEERF officials issued many written guidelines, instructions, and FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions) documents, due to the nature and novel of the national emergency situation. The institution adopted, followed, and relied on the many referenced guidelines and exercise extreme judgment to ensure compliance with the federal requirements and use of the funds. The institution belief this referenced guidelines and instruction were very specific and sufficient to execute the use of the funds. All direct charges to federal awards were for allowable costs under the guidelines and instructions from the Department of Education. Some of the allowable costs were verified and validated by an officer of the Department of Education and reviewed by an independent consultant. 3. The institution concurs with the auditor finding. Actions Taken or Planned: The institution begins in addition to the adopted HEERF guidelines, instructions, and CFRs; to develop additional procurement policies and are in the process of completing those policies. The institution expects to have those completed by May 31, 2023.

2022-003 Finding: Procurement, Suspension and Debarment Non-federal entities are prohibited from contracting with or making subawards under covered transactions to parties that are suspended or debarred. Out of five loans selected for testing, two of the loan agreements did not include a representation that the borrower is not currently debarred, suspended, excluded, or disqualified by any Federal department or agency, and no other procedures were performed by the Organization to determine if these two borrowers were debarred, suspended, excluded, or disqualified. A subsequent review of the borrowers determined that neither was debarred, suspended, excluded, or disqualified. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with this finding. MCCD currently has a section in its loan documents for borrowers to certify that they, any coborrowers or principals, are not presently debarred, suspended, or proposed for debarment from transactions by any Federal department or agency. The two loans referenced in the finding are loans where MCCD was a participating lender; we used the lead lender?s loan documents. The lead lender?s loan documents did not have a section for the borrower to certify they are not debarred, suspended or are being proposed for debarment from transactions by Federal departments or agencies. MCCD will create and implement a policy to verify that borrowers are not debarred, suspended or are being proposed for debarment from transactions by Federal departments or agencies when making a participation loan. MCCD?s Loan Program staff will (1) check the suspension and debarment list through the federal government?s website, and (2) save a copy of the of the results to the borrower?s loan file.
