Agenda Item Request
title
Adopt the new Appendix G2 Suspension and Debarment Policy and Procedure, appendix to Administrative Regulations No.16 Accepting Grants and Other Funding Sources.
body
Background and Purpose of Request
Federal Requirements prohibit awarding grants or contracts to entities that are suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded from receiving federal funds. Cumberland County has historically complied with these requirements by verifying contractors, subrecipients, and grant partners as part of the County’s existing internal controls and grant administration practices. However, those practices have not been documented in a formal written policy.
Adoption of Administrative Regulations Appendix G2 will formalize existing practice, ensure consistent procedures across County departments, and provide documented procedures that demonstrate compliance with current federal grant requirements when requested.
Requestor
Sandra Warren, Compliance and Audit Manager
Funding Amount and Source
This action has no fiscal impact. Adopting this policy costs nothing. SAM.gov is a free public website, and the verification work described in the policy is carried out using existing staff resources.
Effective Date if Applicable
