CONTRACT
Pursuant to the Assistance to Victims of and Witnesses to Crimes and Aid to Law Enforcement

Judicial District has made the following award:
Grantee Agency: Weld County Sheriffs Office
DUNS: 75757955
Grant Number: 2022-13 ARPA
Project Title: Weld County Law Enforcement Victim Services
Grant Period: January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022
Amount of Grant Award: $29,850.00
Purpose of Grant Funds-- Victim services that provide one or more of the following;
• Help victims of crime recover from victimization by addressing financial, medical, and
logistical barriers.
• Assist persons experiencing domestic abuse and violence, intimate partner violence and
associated economic abuses and material hardships.
• Expedite court proceedings that may hinder survivors from severing contact with abusers
and delay potential income including child support.

On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was signed into law and
established the Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund and Coronavirus Local Fiscal
Recovery Funds, which together make up the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery
Funds ("SLFRF") program. This program is intended to provide support to State, territorial,
local, and Tribal governments in responding to the economic and public health impacts of
COVID-19 and in their efforts to contain impacts on their communities, residents, and
businesses.
A complete description of the program and requirements may be found on the US
Department of Treasury website: https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/SLFRF-
Compliance-and-Reporting-Guidance.pdf, and are incorporated herein.
The Award funds originate from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 ("ARPA"), Pub.L.
117-2. The Colorado General Assembly appropriated ARPA funds to the Department
pursuant to SB21-292, which added Section 24-4.2-103(1.7), C.R.S. The Award funds are
not a Research and Development Award.
2. The contents of the grant application will become contractual obligations of the grantee
agency and are incorporated into this contract as if fully set forth herein.
3. The grantee agency is required to submit four quarterly Financial and Narrative Reports, in
conjunction with funds allocated through the local 19th JD VALE funds. See the local
VALE 2022 funding contract for due dates of reports. These reports must address any
special conditions that are listed in this contract. The final report must be cumulative and
reflect the activity of the entire contract period. Narrative Program Report forms will be
provided by the local VALE Board and address any special conditions that are listed in this
contract. Grant recipients are required to use these forms.
4. Failure to comply with the reporting requirements may result in the Board's termination of
this grant, return of awarded funds, and/or suspension of the grant. Failure to comply with
reporting requirements may also jeopardize future funding to this grantee agency.
5. Grantee agency will be paid on a cost -reimbursement basis for the amount of the federal
ARPA funds. Payments may be requested by submitting the required Request for
Reimbursement form and financial documents as required to verify expense.
6. Grantee agency agrees to submit additional aggregate reporting measures as determined
necessary which may include demographic and geographic information of individuals
served. Reporting measures shall not include any personally identifying information or
protected health information.
7. The State of Colorado is accountable to the Treasury for oversight of their subrecipients,
including ensuring their subrecipients comply with the SLFRF statute, SLFRF Award Terms
and Conditions, Treasury's Interim Final Rule, and reporting requirements, as applicable.
Subrecipients will also be held accountable to these provisions and reporting requirements.
8. The grantee agency is required to have an active registration with the System for Award
Management (SAM) (https://www.sam.gov). To ensure timely receipt of funding, Treasury
has stated that Non -entitlement Units of Government (NEUs) who have not previously
registered with SAM.gov may do so after receipt of the award, but before the submission of
mandatory reporting.
Page I 2
The grantee agency certifies that it has not been debarred or suspended or otherwise found
to be ineligible for participation in Federal assistance programs under Executive Order
12549, "Debarment and Suspension."
9. Grantee Agency agrees to maintain records and financial documents for five years after all
funds have been expended or returned to Treasury. The State of Colorado and/or the US
Treasury may request transfer of records of long-term value at the end of such period.
Wherever practicable, such records should be collected, transmitted, and stored in open and
machine-readable formats.
Grantee agency agrees to provide or make available such records to the State of Colorado,
local VALE Board, and/or Treasury upon request, and to any authorized oversight body,
including but not limited to the Government Accountability Office ("GAO"), Treasury's
Office of Inspector General ("OIG"), and the Pandemic Relief Accountability Committee
("PRAC").
10. Recipients and subrecipients at any tier that expend more than $750,000 in Federal awards
during their fiscal year will be subject to an audit under the Single Audit Act and its
implementing regulation at 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart F regarding audit requirements.
Recipients and subrecipients may also refer to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Compliance Supplements for audits of federal funds and related guidance and the
Federal Audit Clearinghouse to see examples and single audit submissions.
11. Recipients of Federal financial assistance from the Treasury are required to meet legal
requirements relating to nondiscrimination and nondiscriminatory use of Federal funds.
Those requirements include ensuring that entities receiving Federal financial assistance from
the Treasury do not deny benefits or services, or otherwise discriminate on the basis of race,
color, national origin (including limited English proficiency), disability, age, or sex
(including sexual orientation and gender identity), in accordance with the following
authorities: Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI) Public Law 88-352, 42 U.S.C.
2000d-1 et seq., and the Department's implementing regulations, 31 CFR part 22; Section

28; Age Discrimination Act of 1975, Public Law 94-135, 42 U.S.C. 6101 et seq., and the
Department implementing regulations at 31 CFR part 23.
In order to carry out its enforcement responsibilities under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act,
Treasury will collect and review information from recipients to ascertain their compliance
with the applicable requirements before and after providing financial assistance. Treasury's
implementing regulations, 31 CFR part 22, and the Department of Justice (DOJ) regulations,
Coordination of Non-discrimination in Federally Assisted Programs, 28 CFR part 42,
provide for the collection of data and information from recipients (see 28 CFR 42.406).
Treasury may request that recipients submit data for post -award compliance reviews,
including information such as a narrative describing their Title VI compliance status.
12. SPECIAL CONDITIONS for the award that have been stipulated between the local VALE
Board and the grantee agency are as follows:

ASSURANCES OF COMPLIANCE WITH CIVIL RIGHTS
REQUIREMENTS
ASSURANCES OF COMPLIANCE WITH
TITLE VI OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF
1964
As a condition of receipt of federal financial assistance from the Department of the
Treasury, the Subrecipient provides the assurances stated herein. The federal financial
assistance may include federal grants, loans and Agreements to provide assistance to the
Subrecipient's beneficiaries, the use or rent of Federal land or property at below market value,
Federal training, a loan of Federal personnel, subsidies, and other arrangements with the
intention of providing assistance. Federal financial assistance does not encompass
Agreements of guarantee or insurance, regulated programs, licenses, procurement
Agreements by the Federal government at market value, or programs that provide direct
benefits.
The assurances apply to all federal financial assistance from or funds made available
through the Department of the Treasury, including any assistance that the Subrecipient may
request in the future.
The Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 provides that the provisions of the
assurances apply to all of the operations of the Subrecipient's program(s) and activity(ies), so
long as any portion of the Subrecipient's program(s) or activity(ies) is federally assisted in
the manner prescribed above.
1. Subrecipient ensures its current and future compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964, as amended, which prohibits exclusion from participation, denial of the benefits of,
or subjection to discrimination under programs and activities receiving federal financial
assistance, of any person in the United States on the ground of race, color, or national origin
(42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq.), as implemented by the Department of the Treasury Title VI
regulations at 31 CFR Part 22 and other pertinent executive orders such as Executive Order
13166, directives, circulars, policies, memoranda, and/or guidance documents.
2. Subrecipient acknowledges that Executive Order 13166, "Improving Access to Services
for Persons with Limited English Proficiency," seeks to improve access to federally
assisted programs and activities for individuals who, because of national origin, have
Limited English proficiency (LEP). Subrecipient understands that denying a person access
to its programs, services, and activities because of LEP is a form of national origin
discrimination prohibited under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the
Department of the Treasury's implementing regulations. Accordingly, Subrecipient shall
initiate reasonable steps, or comply with the Department of the Treasury's directives, to
ensure that LEP persons have meaningful access to its programs, services, and activities.
Subrecipient understands and agrees that meaningful access may entail providing
language assistance services, including oral interpretation and written translation where
necessary, to ensure effective communication in the Subrecipient's programs, services,
and activities.
