Responsible Official’s Response:
In this particular finding, the decision was made to undertake a project using organizational reserves.
Subsequent to the project taking place additional review indicated it would qualify as permissible under the
American Rescue Plan and Federal Funding could potentially cover the project costs. The contract for the work,
however, was not further reviewed at the time. After subsequent review, it appears that the contract may not
meet the standards for Federal Funding, Management, therefore, has removed the Federal funding revenue from
it’s financial statements and has not requested funding for this project under the American Rescue Plan.
As a regular course of business, the organization does require any contracts subject to Federal funding
requirements meet Federal Funding requirements, including those requirements associated with prevailing
wages. Going forward, a comprehensive contract review will be performed for any project retroactively
deemed a potentially permissible use of Federal funds
