4. Amendment to Increase or Decrease Scope of Services: The parties may
modify this Agreement to increase or decrease the scope of services or provide for the
rendition of services not required by this Agreement, which modification may include an
adjustment to GRANTEE's compensation. Any change in the scope of services must be
made by written amendment to the Agreement signed by an authorized representative
for each party. GRANTEE shall not be entitled to any additional compensation if services
are performed prior to a signed written amendment.
5. Termination. Remedies and Force Ma'eure.
(a) This Agreement shall terminate without any liability of the City or to
GRANTEE upon the earlier of: (i) GRANTEE filing for protection under the federal
bankruptcy laws, or any bankruptcy petition or petition for receiver commenced by a third
party against GRANTEE; (ii) seven calendar days prior written notice with or without
cause by the City to GRANTEE; (iii) the City's non -appropriation of funds sufficient to
meet its obligations hereunder during any City fiscal year of this Agreement, or insufficient
funding for the Project; or (iv) expiration of this Agreement.

compensation for services satisfactorily performed prior to the effective date of

incurred which reasonably could have been avoided.
(c) In the event of termination due to failure of GRANTEE to satisfactorily
perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the City may withhold an amount
that would otherwise be payable as an offset to, but not in excess of, the City's damages
caused by such failure. In no event shall any payment by the City pursuant to this
Agreement constitute a waiver by the City of any breach of this Agreement which may
then exist on the part of the GRANTEE, nor shall such payment impair or prejudice any
remedy available to the City with respect to the breach.
(d) Upon any breach of this Agreement by the GRANTEE, the City may
(i) exercise any right, remedy (in contract, law or equity), or privilege which may be
available to it under applicable laws of the State of California or any other applicable law;
(ii) proceed by appropriate court action to enforce the terms of the Agreement; and/or (iii)
recover all direct, indirect, consequential, economic, and incidental damages for the
breach of the Agreement. If it is determined that the City improperly terminated this
Agreement for default, such termination shall be deemed a termination for convenience.
(e) GRANTEE shall provide the City with adequate written assurances
of future performance, upon the Administrator's request, in the event GRANTEE fails to
comply with any terms or conditions of this Agreement.
(f) GRANTEE shall be liable for default unless nonperformance is
caused by an occurrence beyond the reasonable control of GRANTEE and without its
fault or negligence such as, acts of God or the public enemy, acts of the City in its
Page 2 of 22
LIUUUJIIy.I I CIIVCIUpH IU. UV3JKL/4J-D/ UL-'+LUL-O'#U:J-DLCCCr UUDM I U
contractual capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, unusually
severe weather, and delays of common carriers. GRANTEE shall notify the City in writing
as soon as it is reasonably possible after the commencement of any excusable delay,
setting forth the full particulars in connection therewith, and shall remedy such occurrence
with all reasonable dispatch, and shall promptly give written notice to the Administrator of
the cessation of such occurrence.
6. Confidential Information and Ownership of Documents.
(a) Any reports, information, or other data prepared or assembled by
GRANTEE pursuant to this Agreement shall not be made available to any individual or

comply with the requirements of this Section 6.
(d) This Section 6 shall survive expiration or termination of this

between the parties hereto that inasmuch as GRANTEE represents to the City that
GRANTEE and its subcontractors, if any, are skilled in the profession and shall perform
in accordance with the standards of said profession necessary to perform the services
agreed to be done by it under this Agreement, the City relies upon the skill of the
GRANTEE and any subcontractors to do and perform such services in a skillful manner
and the GRANTEE agrees to thus perform the services and require the same of any
subcontractors. Therefore, any acceptance of such services by the City shall not operate
as a release of GRANTEE or any subcontractors from said professional standards.
8. Indemnification.

and defend CITY and each of its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers from
any and all loss, liability, fines, penalties, forfeitures, costs and damages (whether in

(including reasonable attorney's fees and litigation expenses) that arise out of, pertain to,
or relate to the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of GRANTEE, its principals,
officers, employees, agents or volunteers in the performance of this Agreement.
If GRANTEE should subcontract all or any portion of the services to be performed
under this Agreement, GRANTEE shall require each subcontractor to indemnify, hold
harmless and defend CITY and each of its officers, officials, employees, agents and
volunteers in accordance with the terms of the preceding paragraph.

officials, employees, agents, and volunteers from any and all loss, liability, fines,
penalties, forfeitures, costs and damages incurred by the City from any and all claims,
demands and actions in law or equity (including attorney's fees and litigation expenses),
arising or alleged to have arisen directly or indirectly from the negligent or intentional acts
or omissions, or willful misconduct of GRANTEE or any of its officers, officials, employees,
agents, or volunteers in the performance of this Agreement and compliance with ARPA.
This section shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.
9. Insurance. GRANTEE shall comply with all of the insurance requirements
in Exhibit B to this Agreement.
10. Conflict of Interest and Non -Solicitation.
(a) Prior to the City's execution of this Agreement, GRANTEE shall

and the respective subcontractor(s) are in full compliance with all laws and regulations.

any appearance of a conflict of interest. Upon discovery of any facts giving rise to the
appearance of a conflict of interest, GRANTEE shall immediately notify the City of these
facts in writing.

is employed by the City or is a member of any City council, commission, board,

Manager, if no actual or potential conflict is involved.
(d) GRANTEE represents and warrants that it has not paid or agreed to
pay any compensation, contingent or otherwise, direct or indirect, to solicit or procure this
Agreement or any rights/benefits hereunder.
(e) Neither GRANTEE, nor any of GRANTEE subcontractors performing
any services on this Project, shall bid for, assist anyone in the preparation of a bid for, or
perform any services pursuant to, any other contract in connection with this Project unless
fully disclosed to and approved by the City Manager, in advance and in writing.
GRANTEE and any of its subcontractors shall have no interest, direct or indirect, in any
other contract with a third party in connection with this Project unless such interest is in
accordance with all applicable law and fully disclosed to and approved by the City
Manager, in advance and in writing. Notwithstanding any approval given by the City
Manager under this provision, GRANTEE shall remain responsible for complying with
Section 10(b), above.
(f) If GRANTEE should subcontract all or any portion of the work to be
performed or services to be provided under this Agreement, GRANTEE shall include the
provisions of this Section 10 in each subcontract and require its subcontractors to comply
therewith.
(g) This Section 10 shall survive expiration or termination of this
Agreement.
11. ARPA Compliance and Certification. GRANTEE shall submit only those
expenditures which are eligible for payment and in compliance with the allowable
expenditures, including the following eligibility requirements:
GRANTEE shall provide the City with quarterly expenditure and performance
reports, as defined in the Final Rule and Treasury Department's SLFRF Compliance and
Reporting Guidance (CRG). GRANTEE shall also provide an annual report as required
under the CRG. These reports shall be in a form specified under the CRG and shall be
accompanied by invoices and receipts that substantiate the figures on the expenditure
report. Additionally, a certification signed by the Chief Executive or designee of
GRANTEE certifying that the uses of the grant funds are consistent with those allowed
under ARPA, shall be included with the expenditure report and substantiating
documentation. As required by the 2 CFR Part 170, Appendix A award term regarding
reporting subaward and executive compensation, recipients must also report the names
and total compensation of their five most highly compensated executives and their
subrecipients' executives for the preceding completed fiscal year if (1) the recipient
received 80 percent or more of its annual gross revenues from Federal procurement
contracts (and subcontracts) and Federal financial assistance subject to the
Transparency Act, as defined at 2 CFR 170.320 (and subawards), and received
$25,000,000 or more in annual gross revenues from Federal procurement contracts (and
subcontracts) and Federal financial assistance subject to the Transparency Act (and
subawards), and (2) if the information is not otherwise public. If the GRANTEE is already
disclosing this information as part of another agreement involving Federal monies,
Page 5 of 22
L/UI:UJ&I CIIVU,1UPU IL). L/VJ:lV U4J- /UL-6FLUL-04U:l-�GCCCrL/U�M/'J
GRANTEE shall provide documentation to the City that it is fulfilling this requirement.
GRANTEE's failure to provide a Certification, or provide either the quarterly or annual
expenditure/performance reports may be considered a default of this Agreement under
Section 5 of this agreement. If GRANTEE is found to have provided services to ineligible
individual, households, or entities or made an ineligible expenditure, CITY shall have the
right to reclaim a dollar amount from the GRANTEE that is equal to the amount
determined to be ineligible.
12. General Terms.
(a) Except as otherwise provided by law, all notices expressly required
of the City within the body of this Agreement, and not otherwise specifically provided for,
shall be effective only if signed by the City Manager or designee.
(b) The City is required under 2 CFR 200.332 to manage and monitor
subrecipient compliance with ARPA guidance. Accordingly, GRANTEE agrees to permit
City staff to conduct one performance review during the term of this agreement. City has
the right to conduct additional performance reviews both during the term of this agreement
and after the agreement's term should the City believe these reviews are necessary.
Records of GRANTEE expenses pertaining to the Project shall be kept on a generally
recognized accounting basis and shall be available to the City or its authorized
representatives upon request during regular business hours throughout the life of this
Agreement and for a period of three years after final payment or, if longer, for any period
required by law. Records related to GRANTEE's performance metrics shall be made
available and retained for the same time periods as the Project's expense data.
GRANTEE shall furthermore comply with all funding requirements as set forth in ARPA.
If GRANTEE fails to provide City staff access or documentation necessary to conduct a
City -requested performance review, City may terminate this Agreement in accordance
with Section 5.
In addition, all books, documents, papers, and records of GRANTEE
pertaining to the Project shall be available for the purpose of making audits, examinations,
excerpts, and transcriptions for the same period of time. If any litigation, claim,
negotiations, audit, or other action is commenced before the expiration of said time
period, all records shall be retained and made available to the City until such action is
resolved, or until the end of said time period whichever shall later occur. If GRANTEE
should subcontract all or any portion of the services to be performed under this
Agreement, GRANTEE shall cause each subcontractor to also comply with the
requirements of this paragraph. This Section 12(b) shall survive expiration or termination
of this Agreement.
(c) Prior to execution of this Agreement by the City, GRANTEE shall
have provided evidence to the City that GRANTEE is licensed to perform the services
called for by this Agreement (or that no license is required). If GRANTEE should
subcontract all or any portion of the work or services to be performed under this
Agreement, GRANTEE shall require each subcontractor to provide evidence to the City
that subcontractor is licensed to perform the services called for by this Agreement (or that
no license is required) before beginning work.

permit City staff to conduct a subrecipient risk assessment, as required under the Uniform
Guidance (2 CFR 200.332(b)). Failure to allow City staff to conduct this subrecipient risk
assessment may result in the City terminating this Agreement in accordance with Section
5. Additionally, the GRANTEE's failure to be certified by City staff at the end of the risk
assessment as having adequate internal controls to manage the funding provided in this
agreement may result in the City terminating this Agreement in accordance with Section
5.
13. Nondiscrimination. To the extent required by controlling federal, state, and
local law, GRANTEE shall not employ discriminatory practices in the provision of services,
employment of personnel, or in any other respect on the basis of race, religious creed,
color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition,

veteran of the Vietnam era. Subject to the foregoing and during the performance of this

providing that no person shall, on the grounds of race, religious creed, color, national
origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status,

for employment because of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical
disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, sex, age, sexual orientation,
ethnicity, status as a disabled veteran, or veteran of the Vietnam era. GRANTEE shall
ensure that applicants are employed, and the employees are treated during employment,
without regard to their race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical
disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, sex, age, sexual orientation,

following: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or recruitment
advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and
selection for training, including apprenticeship. GRANTEE agrees to post in conspicuous
places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices setting forth the
provision of this nondiscrimination clause.
(c) GRANTEE will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees
placed by or on behalf of GRANTEE in pursuit hereof, state that all qualified applicants
will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, religious creed, color,

status, sex, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity, status as a disabled veteran, or veteran of
the Vietnam era.

notice advising such labor union or workers' representatives of the GRANTEE's

(b) This Agreement does not evidence a partnership or joint'venture
between GRANTEE and the City. GRANTEE shall have no authority to bind the City

Executive Summa
On behalf of Cradle -to -Career Fresno County and the Preconception to Age-5 Network,
Central Valley Children's Services Network will utilize $1,000,000.00 for one year from
the City of Fresno to fund: Family Childcare Vouchers for 50 children of those families
with the greatest need.
Central Valley Children's Services Network (CVCSN) is an established Community -
Based Organization serving as the local Resource and Referral Agency for Fresno
County for over 40 years. CVCSN also serves as one of Fresno County's Childcare
Subsidized Programs intended to support low-income families and their childcare costs.
In addition, CVCSN provides services to early learning and care professionals such as
childcare centers, family childcare homes, and family/friend/neighbor caregivers. Serving
as a trusted community partner, CVCSN provides many other direct social services to
families. These services and programs provided align with the agency's mission "To
improve the quality of early learning and care for children of the Central Valley."
As the American Rescue Plan seeks to support our communities during the pandemic's
recovery phase, this program focuses on the immediate need that many families face.
With the original program funded previously by the CARES Act, through the City of
Fresno, this program has been redesigned to support our community childcare needs by
providing childcare vouchers on behalf of our most vulnerable residents. The priority is to
support working families with the financial burden that the cost of childcare inflicts. This
program was developed by members of Fresno Cradle to Career in partnership with
Fresno Community Health Improvement Partnership, Fresno DRIVE, and The Children's
Movement representing the sectors of early childhood, health, K-12 education, higher
education, government agencies, housing, justice, philanthropy, economic development,
business, workforce upskilling and development, and neighborhood development.
Services Description
Our program consists of the distribution of Family Childcare Vouchers to 50 unduplicated
children for the term of one year. This approach will ensure that families residing in the
City of Fresno have access to childcare that meets their unique family needs. CVCSN will
continue the program first implemented through the CARES Act childcare vouchers,
redesigned to support our community childcare needs during COVID pandemic recovery
phase and excessive high cost of living. The priority is to support working families with
the financial burden that the cost of childcare inflicts. Families can select any of the
following childcare providers that meet their unique family needs: licensed childcare
centers, licensed Family childcare homes, and Family/Friend/Neighbor Caregivers if
Trustline background requirements are met.
