projects, and help formulate projects– State –disburses the funds, provides technical assistance to

Applicants, and administers the grant. – FEMA –manages the PA program, generally formulates projects,

approves funding, provides technical assistance, and ensures compliance with laws and regulations

5555

Environmental Considerations

Numerous environmental laws and regulations need to be complied with in order to receive ANY Federal funds:

• National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)• Endangered Species Act• Coastal Zone Management Act• EO 11988 Floodplain Management• EO 11990 Wetlands Protection• Clean Water Act (Section 404)• Clean Air Act

5656


• Emergency Actions (e.g. search and rescue, emergency care, issues of life safety)

• Debris Removal (not necessarily disposal or storage/staging)

• Building Stabilization

Immediately following a disaster, applicants can complete work in accordance with FEMA policy guidance. The most common are:

5757


• Debris disposal (other than to a permitted landfill)• Any project affecting a threatened, endangered or

proposed species• Any project affecting a wetland• Any project affecting a floodplain

However, before the following actions can be taken, these actions must be considered:

5858


When addressing any of these considerations…

• FEMA and GOHSEP will provide the applicant with guidance needed to satisfy the environmental laws and regulations. However, it is the applicant’s responsibility to inform FEMA and GOHSEP of any environmental considerations relevant to the specific project; i.e. asbestos, hazardous waste, underground storage tanks, etc.

5959


When addressing any of these considerations…

• The applicant will be responsible for providing as much information as they can to FEMA and GOHSEP in a timely manner in order to satisfy environmental laws and regulations.

• The applicant is responsible for compliance with all local Parish, State, and Federal regulations pertaining to permits and licenses.

6060

Historic Considerations

National Historic Preservation Act of 1966

• Legislation intended to preserve historical and archaeological sites in the United States of America.

• Section 106 under the National Historic Preservation Act

(NHPA) mandates a review process for all federally-funded projects that will impact sites listed on, or eligible for listing on, the National Register of Historic Places.

6161


• Is the structure older than 45 years? If yes, then…• Is the damaged facility on or eligible for listing on the

National Register of Historic Places? If yes, then…• Will the proposed repairs or reconstruction change pre-

disaster conditions? If yes, then….• NHPA will need to be satisfied.

When receiving federal funds for any structure, historic considerations are taken into account. Section 106 looks at:

6262


• FEMA and GOHSEP will work with the applicant to satisfy NHPA; however, it is the applicant’s responsibility to inform FEMA of any historic considerations relevant to the specific project; age of structure, location of structure, provide photos, etc.

• The applicant will be responsible for providing as much information as they can to FEMA and GOHSEP in a timely manner in order to satisfy the historic preservation act.

6363

Insurance Considerations

• Does the damaged facility or item of work have insurance coverage and / or is it an insurable risk

• Is the facility in located in the Flood Plain (Flood Insurance)

6464

Local Responsibility

• Prepare a list of work performed by location

• Locate each site on a map

• Provide photographs etc. as required

• Ensure that the “local” expert formulates the Project or is part of the formulation Team

6565

Local Responsibility

• Be able to provide complete cost breakdown

• Have insurance coverage data available

• Determine if site will be repaired by either force account or contract

• Have copies of appropriate ordinances etc.

• With any disagreement, be able to provide a statement of non-concurrence

6666

Methods of Procurement

• Non-competitive proposals may be used only when it is not feasible using other procurement methods, and one of the following circumstances apply:– Item available from only one source;– Public exigency will not permit delays; – Awarding agency authorizes noncompetitive proposals; or– After solicitation of a number of sources, competition proves

inadequate44 CFR 13.35(d)(4)(i)

Cost analysis is required (44 CFR 13.35(d)(4)(ii)) Must negotiate profit separately (44 CFR 13.35(f)(2))
