EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />CERTIFICATIONS AND ASSURANCES <br />Certifications and Assurances (Rev. 5/16) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Page 4 <br />7. The Grantee Agency Official further agrees by submitting this grant agreement that it will include the clause titled “Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion-Lower Tier <br />Covered Transaction,” provided by the department or agency entering into this covered transaction, without <br />modification, in all lower tier covered transactions and in all solicitations for lower tier covered transactions. 8. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective participant in a lower <br />tier covered transaction that it is not proposed for debarment under 48 CFR Part 9, subpart 9.4, debarred, <br />suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous. A participant may decide the method and frequency by which it determines the eligibility of its principals. Each participant may, but is not required to, check the list of Parties Excluded <br />from Federal Procurement and Non-procurement Programs. <br /> <br />9. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in <br />order to render in good faith the certification required by this clause. The knowledge and information of a participant is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary <br />course of business dealings. <br /> <br />10. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph 6 of these instructions, if a participant in a covered <br />transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is proposed for debarment under 48 CFR Part 9, subpart 9.4, suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from <br />participation in this transaction, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the <br />department or agency may terminate this transaction for cause or default. <br /> <br />Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, and Other Responsibility Matters-Primary Covered <br />Transactions <br />(1) The Grantee Agency Official certifies to the best of its knowledge and belief, that its principals: <br /> (a) Are not presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded <br />by any Federal department or agency; <br /> (b) Have not within a three-year period preceding this grant agreement been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, <br />attempting to obtain, or performing a public (Federal, State or local) transaction or contract under a public <br />transaction; violation of Federal or State antitrust statutes or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, <br />bribery, falsification or destruction of record, making false statements, or receiving stolen property; <br /> (c) Are not presently indicted for or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a governmental entity (Federal, <br />State or Local) with commission of any of the offenses enumerated in paragraph (1)(b) of this certification; and <br /> <br />(d) Have not within a three-year period preceding this application/grant agreement had one or more public transactions (Federal, State, or local) terminated for cause or default. <br /> <br />(2) Where the Grantee Agency Official is unable to certify to any of the Statements in this certification, such <br />prospective participant shall attach an explanation to this grant agreement.
