among, to or from the affected elements without Department approval,
subject to applicable provisions of Sections 3.B. and 3.C.3 of Part I and
Section XIV of Part II. If Grantee's performance falls short of the
expectation by a factor greater than the allowed minimum performance
percentage, the state maximum allocation will be reduced equivalent to
actual performance in relation to the minimum performance.

2. Actual Cost Reimbursement - A reimbursement method by which
Grantees are reimbursed based upon the understanding that state
dollars will be paid up to total costs in relation to the state's share of
the total costs and up to the total state allocation as agreed to in the
approved budget. This reimbursement approach is not directly
dependent upon whether a specified level of performance is met by the
local health department. Department funding under this
reimbursement method is allocable as a source before any local
funding requirement unless a specific local match condition exists.
3. Fixed Unit Rate Reimbursement - A reimbursement method by which
Grantee are reimbursed a specific amount for each output actually
delivered and reported.
4. Essential Local Public Health Services (ELPHS) - A reimbursement
method by which Grantees are reimbursed a share of reasonable and
allowable costs incurred for required services, as noted in the current
Appropriations Act.
E. Reimbursement Mechanism
All Grantees must sign up through the on-line vendor registration process to
receive all State of Michigan payments as Electronic Funds Transfers
(EFT)/Direct Deposits. Vendor registration information is available through
the Department of Technology, Management and Budget's web site:
http://www.michigan.gov/sigmayss
F. Unobligated Funds
Any unobligated balance of funds held by the Grantee at the end of the
agreement period will be returned to the Department or treated in accordance
with instructions provided by the Department.
G. Final Obligation Reporting Requirements
An Obligation Report, based on annual guidelines, must be submitted by the
due date using the format provided by the Department through MI E-Grants.
The Grantee must provide, by program, an estimate of total expenditures for
the entire agreement period (October 1 through September 30). This report
must represent the Grantee's best estimate of total program expenditures for
the agreement period. The information on the report will be used to record the
Department's year-end accounts payables and receivables by program for this
Agreement. The report assists the Department in reserving sufficient funding
to reimburse the final expenditures that will be reported on the Final FSR
without materially overstating or understating the year-end obligations for this
agreement. The Department compares the total estimated expenditures from
this report to the total amount reimbursed to the Grantee in the monthly
prepayments and quarterly fee -for -service payments to establish accounts
Local Health Department- 2022, Date: 06/18/2021 Page30 of 40
06/18/2021
payable and accounts receivable entries at fiscal year-end. The Department
recognizes that based upon payment adjustments and timing of agreement
amendments, the Grantee may owe the Department funding for overpayment
of a program and may be due funds from the Department for underpayment of
a program at fiscal year-end.
Within 60 days after the agreement fiscal year-end, the Grantee must liquidate
any unpaid year-end commitments and obligations. Any obligation remaining
unliquidated after 60 days from the end of the agreement period shall revert to
the Department for disposition in accordance with applicable state and/or
federal requirements, except as specifically authorized in writing by the
Department.
H. Final Financial Status Reporting Requirements
Final FSRs are due on the following dates following the agreement period
end date:
Project Final FSR Due Date
Public Health Emergency Preparedness 11/15/2020
All Remaining Projects 11/30/2020
Upon receipt of the final FSR electronically through MI E-Grants, the
Department will determine by program, if funds are owed to the Grantee or if
the Grantee owes funds to the Department. If funds are owed to the Grantee,
payment will be processed. However, if the Grantee underestimated their
year-end obligations in the Obligation Report as compared to the final FSR
and the total reimbursement requested does not exceed the agreement
amount that is due to the Grantee, the Department will make every effort to
process full reimbursement to the Grantee per the final FSR. Final payment
may be delayed pending final disposition of the Department's year-end
obligations.
If funds are owed to the Department, it will generally not be necessary for
Grantee to send in a payment. Instead the Department will make the
necessary entries to offset other payments and as a result the Grantee will
receive a net monthly prepayment. When this does occur, clarifying
documentation will be provided to the Grantee by the Department's Accounting
Division.
I. Penalties for Reporting Noncompliance
For failure to submit the final total Grantee FSR report by November 30,
through MI E-Grants after the agreement period end date, the Grantee may be
penalized with a one-time reduction in their current ELPHS allocation for
noncompliance with the fiscal year-end reporting deadlines. Any penalty funds
will be reallocated to other Local Health Department Grantees. Reductions will
be one-time only and will not carryforward to the next fiscal year as an ongoing
reduction to a Grantee's ELPHS allocation. Penalties will be assessed based
Local Health Department- 2022, Date, 06/18/2021 Page31 of 40
06/18/2021
upon the submitted date in MI E-Grants:
ELPHS Penalties for Noncompliance with Reporting Requirements:
1. 1 % - 1 day to 30 days late;
2. 2% - 31 days to 60 days late;
3. 3% - over 60 days late with a maximum of 3% reduction in the
Grantee's ELPHS allocation.
J. Indirect Costs and Cost Allocations/Distribution Plans
The Grantee is allowed to use approved federal indirect rate, 10% de minimis
indirect rate or cost allocation/distribution plans in their budget calculations.
1. Costs must be consistently charged as indirect, direct or cost allocated,
but may not be double charged or inconsistently charged.
2. If the Grantee does not have an existing approved federal indirect rate,
they may use a 10% de minimis rate in accordance with Title 2 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200 to recover their indirect costs.
3. Grantees using the cost allocation/distribution method must develop
certified plan in accordance with the requirements described in Title 2
CFR, Part 200 which includes detailed budget narratives and is retained
by the Grantee and subject to Department review.
4. There must be a documented, well-defined rationale and audit trail for
any cost distribution or allocation based upon Title 2 CFR, Part 200
Cost Principles and subject to Department review.
V. Agreement Termination
This Agreement may be terminated without further liability or penalty to the
Department for any of the following reasons:
A. By either party by giving 30 days written notice to the other party stating the
reasons for termination and the effective date.
B. By either party with 30 days written notice upon the failure of either party to
carry out the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided the alleged
defaulting party is given notice of the alleged breach and fails to cure the
default within the 30-day period.
C. Immediately if the Grantee or an official of the Grantee or an owner is
convicted of any activity referenced in Part 2 Section III. D. of this Agreement

the Department in accordance with MCL 333.2235 that the Grantee local health
department for the delivery of public health services under this Agreement is unable or
unwilling to provide any or all of the services as provided in this Agreement, and the
Department may redirect funds as necessary to ensure that the public health services
are provided within the Grantee's jurisdiction.

Department will not pay for activities, Grantee's incurred expenses or financial losses,
or any additional compensation during a stop work period.
VII. Final Reporting upon Termination
Should this Agreement be terminated by either party, within 30 days after the
termination, the Grantee shall provide the Department with all financial, performance
and other reports required as a condition of this Agreement. The Department will
make payments to the Grantee for allowable reimbursable costs not covered by
previous payments or other state or federal programs. The Grantee shall immediately
refund to the Department any funds not authorized for use and any payments or funds
advanced to the Grantee in excess of allowable reimbursable expenditures.
Vill. Severability

ATTACHMENT III
MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES
LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT AGREEMENT
October 1, 2021 — September 30, 2022
Fiscal Year 2022
PROGRAM SPECIFIC ASSURANCES AND REQUIREMENTS
Local health service program elements funded under this agreement will be administered by
the Grantee and the Department in accordance with the Public Health Code (P.A. 368 of
1978, as amended), rules promulgated under the Code, minimum program requirements and
all other applicable Federal, State and Local laws, rules and regulations. These
requirements are fulfilled through the following approach:
A. Development and issuance of minimum program requirements, further describing the
objective criteria for meeting requirements of law, rule, regulation, or professionally
accepted methods or practices for the purpose of ensuring the quality, availability and
effectiveness of services and activities,
B. Utilization of a Minimum Reporting Requirements Notebook listing specific reporting
formats, source documentation, timeframes and utilization needs for required local
data compilation and transmission on program elements funded under this agreement.
C. Utilization of annual program and budget instructions describing special program
performance and funding policies and requirements unique to each State fiscal year.
D. Execution of an agreement setting forth the basic terms and conditions for administration
and local service delivery of the program elements.
E. Emphasis and reliance upon service definitions, minimum program requirements, local
budgets and projected output measures reports, State/local agreements, and periodic
department on -site program management evaluation and audits, while minimizing local
program plan detail beyond that needed for input on the State budget process.
Many program specific assurances and other requirements are defined within the referenced
documents including Minimum Program Requirements established for the following program
elements as of October 1, 2006:
1. Breast and Cervical Cancer Control
Clinical Laboratory
CSHCS
4. EGLE Drinking Water and Onsite Wastewater Management
5. Family Planning
6. Food ELPHS
7. Hearing ELPHS
8. HIV/STD Prevention Treatment
9. MDHHS Essential Local Public Health Services (ELPHS)
10.Michigan Care Improvement Registry
11.Vision ELPHS
12. WIC
For Fiscal Year 2022, special requirements are applicable for the remaining program
elements listed in the attached pages.
Attachment IV Reimbursement Chart
Program Element:
The Program Element indicates currently funded Department programs that are included in
the Comprehensive Local Health Department Agreement.
Reimbursement Methods
The Reimbursement Methods specifies the type of method used for each of the program
element/funding sources. Funding under the Comprehensive Local Health Department
Agreement can generally be grouped under four (4) different methods of reimbursement.
These methods are defined as follows:
Performance Reimbursement
A reimbursement method by which local agencies are reimbursed based upon the
understanding that a certain level of performance (measured by outputs) must be met in order
to receive full reimbursement of costs (net of program income and other earmarked sources)
up to the contracted amount of state funds prior to any utilization of local funds. Performance
targets are negotiated startino from the last year's negotiated target and the most recent year's
actual numbers except for programs in which caseload targets are directly tied to funding
formulas/annual allocations. Other considerations in setting performance targets include
changes in state allocations from past years, local fiscal and programmatic factors requiring
adjustment of caseloads, etc. Once total performance targets are negotiated, a minimum state
funded performance target percentage is applied (typically 90% unless otherwise specified). If
local Grantee actual performance falls short of the expectation by a factor greater than the
allowed minimum performance percentage, the state maximum allocation for cost
reimbursement will be reduced equivalent to actual performance in relation to the minimum
performance.
Fixed Unit Rate Reimbursement
A reimbursement method by which local health departments are reimbursed a specific amount
for each output actually delivered and reported.
ELPHS
A reimbursement method by which local health departments are reimbursed a share of
reasonable and allowable costs incurred for required Essential Local Public Health Services
(ELPHS), as noted in the current Appropriations Act.
Grant Reimbursement
A reimbursement method by which local health departments are reimbursed based upon the
understanding that State dollars will be paid up to total costs in relation to the State's share of
the total costs and up to the total state allocation as agreed to in the approved budget. This
reimbursement approach is not directly dependent upon whether a specified level of
performance is met by the local health department. Department funding under this
reimbursement method is allocable and a source before any local funding requirements unless
a special local match condition exists.
Performance Level If Applicable
The Performance Level column specifies the minimum state funded performance target
percentage for all program elements/funding sources utilizing the performance reimbursement
method (see above). If the program elements/funding source utilizes a reimbursement method
other than performance or if a target is not specified, N/A (not available) appears in the space
provided.
Performance Target Output Measures
Performance Target Output Measure column specifies the output indicator that is applicable for
the program elements/ funding source utilizing the performance reimbursement method. Output
measures are based upon counts of services delivered.
Relationship Designation
The Subrecipient, Contractor, or Recipient Designation column identifies the type of relationship
that exists between the Department and grantee on a program -by -program basis. Federal
awards expended as a subrecipient are subject to audit or other requirements of Title 2 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR). Payments made to or received as a Contractor are not considered
Federal awards and are, therefore, not subject to such requirements.
Subrecipient
A subrecipient is a non -Federal entity that expends Federal awards received from a pass -
through entity to carry out a Federal program, but does not include an individual that is a
beneficiary of such a program; or is a recipient of other Federal awards directly from a
Federal Awarding agency. Therefore, a pass -through entity must make case -by -case
determinations whether each agreement it makes for the disbursement of Federal program
funds casts the party receiving the funds in the role of a subrecipient or a contractor.
Subrecipient characteristics include:
• Determines who is eligible to receive what Federal assistance;
• Has its performance measured in relation to whether the objectives of a Federal
program were met;
• Has responsibility for programmatic decision making;
• Is responsibility for adherence to applicable Federal program requirements specified
in the Federal award; and
• In accordance with its agreements uses the Federal funds to carry out a program for
a public purpose specified in authorizing status as opposed to providing goods or
services for the benefit of the pass -through entity.
Contractor
A Contractor is for the purpose of obtaining goods and services for the non -Federal entity's
own user and creates a procurement relationship with the Grantee. Contractor
characteristics include:
• Provides the goods and services within normal business operations;
• Provides similar goods or services to many different purchasers;
• Normally operates in a competitive environment;
• Provides goods or services that are ancillary to the operation of the Federal program;
and
• Is not subject to compliance requirements of the Federal program as a result of the
agreement, though similar requirements may apply for other reasons.
In determining whether an agreement between a pass -through entity and another non -Federal
entity casts the latter as a subrecipient or a contractor, the substance of the relationship is more
important than the form of the agreement. All of the characteristics listed above may not be
present in all cases, and the pass -through entity must use judgment in classifying each
agreement as a subaward or a procurement contract.
Recipient
A Recipient is for grant agreement with no federal funding.

Number of Unduplicated Users (clients) by Demographic Designation per quarter
Definition of an Unduplicated User:
An unduplicated user is an individual who has presented themselves to the E3 Program
for service with the mental health provider (minimum master's prepared and licensed
mental health provider), and for whom a record has been opened. Once per year, the
user is counted to generate the number of unduplicated clients utilizing the E3 services
for that year.

Definition of a Visit:
A visit is a significant encounter between an E3 provider and a new (unduplicated) user
or established (duplicated) user. Each visit should be documented as appropriate to the
visit and provider (i.e., visits include an assessment, diagnosis and treatment plan
documented in the medical record and/or other documentation appropriate to the visit). A
user will likely have multiple visits per year.
Total Visits by Provider Type per quarter
*Mental Health Provider must be minimum master's prepared and licensed
`Other Providers may include: RN, RD/Nutritionist, Health Educator, Oral Health and
other providers. Visits with other providers can only be counted after the client has been
established as an E3 user.
Visits by Type per quarter
Count the visit by type of session provided. If the client was seen individually, count as an
individual visit. If the client was seen in a therapeutic group, count as a group visit. If a
client receives both individual and therapeutic group services, count both visit types.
QUALITY INDICATORS REPORT DEFINITIONS
For each of the following Quality Measures, report the YTD NUMBER each quarter.
Each quarter, your data will likely be equal to or greater than, the previous quarter. Note
that this is different than the quarterly reporting elements, where data is reported by
quarter for that specific quarter only.
Number of Unduplicated Clients Ages 10-21 Years with an Up -to -Date Depression
Screen
Report the number of unduplicated clients up-to-date with depression screening. This
information could come directly from a behavioral health screener or risk assessment, so
the number screened (flagged) for depression may equal or be very close to the number
of behavioral health screeners and/or risk assessments completed. (Note this is not the
same as a depression assessment conducted by a provider.) Do not double count
clients who were screened (flagged) for depression using behavioral health screen or risk
assessment and who also completed a specific depression screening tool (e.g., Beck's,
PHQ-9, etc).
Number of Clients Age 12 and Up with a Positive Depression Assessment
(Diagnosis of Depression)
Report the number of clients (age 12 and older) with a diagnosis of depression according
to the score on the depression screening tool and psychosocial assessment by the
provider. Exclude the following: a) those who are already receiving documented care
elsewhere, and b) those who are referred out of the E3 site for treatment.
Number of Clients Age 12 and Up with a Diagnosis of Depression who have
Documented, Appropriate Follow -Up
Report the number of clients from the denominator who receive treatment at the E3 site
who have all of elements of an appropriate follow-up plan: a) had a psycho -social
assessment completed by 3rd visit (includes suicide risk assessment/safety plan), b) had
a treatment plan developed by 3rd visit, c) treatment plan reviewed @ 90 days (for those
on caseload for 90+ days), and d) screener re -administered at appropriate interval to
determine change in score.
For the following two quality measures, please note that you are NOT expected to
administer BOTH a behavioral health screen AND a risk assessment to each client. You
only need to administer one tool or the other as appropriate for age, developmental level
and need. Please report the number of behavioral health screens and/or risk
assessments provided to your clients:
Number of Unduplicated Clients Ages 5-21 Years with at least one Behavioral
Health Screen in the current fiscal year
Report the number of clients that receive a Behavioral Health Screen as appropriate for
age and developmental level. Examples of appropriate screening tools (to use) include
but are not limited to Pediatric Symptoms Checklist (17 or 34), Strength and Difficulties
Questionnaire.
Number of Unduplicated Clients with an Up -to -Date Risk Assessment / Anticipatory
Guidance
Report the number of clients that are complete with an annual risk assessment or
anticipatory guidance, as appropriate for age and developmental level. This may include
clients that are UTD because they completed the risk assessment/anticipatory guidance
in a previous fiscal year but are being seen in the E3 site in the current fiscal year.
BILLING REPORT DEFINITIONS
Reported on annual basis only:
Enter the dollar amount in claims submitted for services provided during the current
fiscal year (October 1- September 30), regardless of whether or not the claims were paid
during the fiscal year.

Project Synopsis:
The Michigan Family Planning Program assists individuals and couples in planning and
spacing births, preventing unintended pregnancy, and seeking preventive health
screenings. On -site clinical services are delivered through a statewide network of local
health departments, hospital -based health systems, and federally qualified health centers.
The program's strong educational and counseling components help reduce health risks
and promote healthy behaviors. Family Planning prioritizes serving low-income men and
women, teens, and un/underinsured individuals. The Michigan Family Planning Program
serves as a safety net with providers who have been a reliable and trusted source of care,
and in many cases the only regular source of health care for individuals. Referrals to other
medical, behavorial, and social services are provided to clients, as needed. Services are
charged based on ability to pay. No one is denied services due to inability to pay.

Project Synopsis:
Local Maternal Child Health (LMCH) funding is made available to local health
departments to support the health of women, children, and families in communities
across Michigan. Funding addresses one or more Title V Maternal and Child Health
Block Grant national and state priority areas and/or a local MCH priority need identified
through a needs assessment process. Local health departments complete an annual
LMCH plan, and a year end report. Target populations are women of childbearing age,
infants, and children aged 1-21 years and their families, with a special focus on those
who are low income. The LMCH allocated funds are to be budgeted as a funding source
in two project categories for FY 22,

circumstances where a waiver is requested in advance of the expenditures and
evidence is provided that the expenditures satisfy all funding requirements.
4. Local MCH funds may not be used to supplant available/billable program income
such as Medicaid or Healthy Michigan Plan fees or additional funding under the
Medicaid Cost -Based Reimbursement process.
5. Local Health Departments should leverage all other funding sources, especially
third -party payers (Medicaid, private insurers) before utilizing LMCH MCH block
grant funds. LMCH funds are to be used for those services that cannot be paid for
through other sources or for gap filling services. Third party fees should be listed
in other funding sources. If no 3rd party fees are listed, an explanation must be

$10,000 or 15%, OR there are any changes made to any of the children
performance measures an amended LMCH Work Plan and budget will be
required.
8. LMCH is unable to accept cost distributions from MDHHS-ELPHS due to the
nature of the block grant and LMCH reporting requirements. LMCH will continue
to accept other cost distributions as in the past (such as Family Planning, CSHCS
Outreach and Advocacy, VQA, IAP, and Lead Prevention).
9. LMCH has adopted Title 2 Code of Federal Regulations 200 Cost principles.

to MDI-II-IS_ BETP-DEPIR-PHEP c michician.gov by May 1, 2021.
Recipients provide the required 10% MATCH for July 1 through September 30 and
October 1 through June 30. Recipients are required to submit a letter (on agency
letterhead) stating the source, calculation, and narrative description of how the
match was achieved, unless said match is met using local dollars. This was due
with the narrative budget submission to the Division of Emergency Preparedness
and Response-DEPR.

deadlines. This includes, but is not limited to, progress reports, performance
measure data reports, National Incident Management System (NIMS) compliance
reports, CDC Required Pandemic Influenza Plan December 2021,updated
emergency plans, budget narratives, Financial Status Reports (FSR), etc. Failure
to do so will constitute a benchmark failure. All deliverables must be submitted by
the designated due date in the Grantee BP3 work plan.
6. Recipients must maintain National Incident Management System (NIMS)
compliance as detailed in the LHD work plan and submit annually to the
Department — DEPR per the LHD BP3 work plan.
Each subrecipient Grantee must retain program -related documentation for
activities and expenditures consistent with Title 2 CFR Part 200; Uniform

Any additional requirements (if applicable)
All Grantee activities shall be consistent with all approved Budget Period 3 work plan(s)
and budget(s) on file with the Department through the MI E-Grants system. In addition to
these broad requirements, the Grantee will comply with the following:
• One (1) full time equivalent (FTE) emergency preparedness coordinator (EPC), as
a point of contact. In addition to the Grantee health officer, the EPC shall
participate in collaborative capacity building activities of the PHEP Cooperative
Agreement, all required reporting and exercise requirements and in regional
Healthcare Coalition (HCC) initiatives. Anv chanties to this staffing model must be
approved by the Public Health Emeroencv Preparedness Proaram Manaaer at the

• Under the PHEP cooperative agreements, Grantee's must continue to partner
with the Regional Healthcare Coalition (HCC) and support HCC initiatives to
ensure that healthcare organizations receive resources to meet medical surge
demands. Working well together during a crisis is facilitated by meeting on a
regular basis. To this end, EPCs, supported by CDC PHEP are required to
participate in and support regional HCC initiatives. In addition, the EPC or
designee is required to attend regional HCC planning or advisory board meetings.
The intent is for LHD's that cross regional boundaries to align with one regional
coalition.

opportunities that are facilitated under this cooperative agreement. For example,
the Cities Readiness Initiative (CRI) performance and evaluation initiatives. Each
Grantee that is designated to participate in any of these types of supplemental
opportunities is required to comply with all CDC and the Department— Division of
Emergency Preparedness and Response (DEPR) guidance, and all
accompanying work plan and budgeting requirements implemented for the
purpose of subrecipient monitoring and accountability. Some or all supplemental
opportunities may require separate recordkeeping of expenditures. If so, this
separate accounting will be identified in separate project budgets in the MI E-
Grants system. These supplemental opportunities may also require additional
reporting and exercise activities.
All budget amendments must be submitted to the Division of Emergency
Preparedness and Response (DEPR) for review prior to submitting them in the MI
E-Grants system. Budget amendments that contain line items deviating more than
15% or $10,000 (whichever is greater) from the original budgeted line item must
be approved by DEPR prior to implementation via email to MDHHS-BETP-DEPR-
PHEP(cDmichigan.gov.
Supplantation is the replacement of non-federal funds with federal funds to
support the same activities. The Public Health Service Act, Title I, Section 319(c)
specifically states, "SUPPLEMENT NOT SUPPLANT. — Funds appropriated under
this section shall be used to supplement - not supplant - other federal, state, and
local public funds provided for activities under this section." This law strictly and
expressly prohibits using cooperative agreement funds to supplant any current
state or local expenditures.
In response to repeated communications from CDC strongly urging states to
ensure all funds are spent each year a threshold has been established to limit the
amount of unspent funds. A maximum of 2% of the Grantee allocation or $3,000
(whichever is greater) of unspent funds is allowable each budget period. Failure to
meet this requirement, or misuse of funds, will affect the amount that is allocated
in subsequent budget periods.

Pandemic and All Hazards Preparedness and Advancing Innovation Act of 2018
Requires the withholding of amounts from entities that fail to achieve PHEP benchmarks.
The following PHEP benchmarks have been identified by CDC and MDHHS-DEPR for
the Fiscal Year:
• Demonstrated adherence to all PHEP application and reoortina deadlines.
Grantees must submit required PHEP program data and reports by the stated
deadlines. This includes, but is not limited to, progress reports, performance
measure data reports, National Incident Management System (NIMS) compliance
reports, updated emergency plans, budget narratives, Financial Status Reports
(FSR), etc. Failure to do so will constitute a benchmark failure. All deliverables
must be submitted by the designated due date in the LHD BP 3-2021 work plan.
• Demonstrated capability to receive, stage, store, distribute, and dispense medical
countermeasures (MCM) I during a public health emergency, per the BP 3-2021
LHD Work Plan.
Further guidance related to pandemic preparedness will be included in the LHD
workplan.
Pandemic Influenza Preparedness plans
Further guidance will be included in the Grantee PHEP Work Plan.
Benchmark Failure
Awardees are expected to "substantially meet' the PAHPIA benchmarks. Per the
Cooperative Agreement, failure to do so constitutes a benchmark failure, which carries an
allowable penalty withholding of funds. Failure to meet any one of the two benchmarks
and/or the spending threshold is considered a single benchmark failure. Any awardee (or
sub-awardee) that does not meet a benchmark, and/or the spending threshold will have
an opportunity to correct the deficiency during a probationary period. If the deficiency is
not corrected during this period, the awardee is subject to a 10% withholding of funds the
following budget period. Failure to meet the pandemic influenza plan requirement
constitutes a separate benchmark failure and is also subject to a 10% withholding. The
total potential withholding allowable is 20% the first year. If the deficiency is not
corrected, the allowable penalty withholding increases to 30% in year two and 40% in
year three.
Regional Epidemiology Support:
For those recipients receiving additional funds to provide workspace for Regional
Epidemiologists, the grantee must provide adequate office space, telephone connections,
and high-speed Internet access. The position must also have access to fax and
photocopiers.

PROJECT: Vector -Borne Disease Surveillance
Beginning Date: 4/1/2022
End Date: 9/30/2022
Project Synopsis
This agreement is intended to support the development of vector -borne disease
surveillance and control capacity at the local health department level. Funds may be used
to support a low-cost, community -level surveillance system for 1) the early detection of
arbovirus threats by identifying potential invasive mosquito vectors or local virus
transmission in mosquitoes and 2) populations of ticks including Nodes scapularis,
Amblyomma americanum, and Haemaphysalis longicornis. This information can be
utilized by participating local health departments to notify its citizens of any local
transmission risk using education campaigns and to potentially work with local
municipalities to conduct vector control activities such as drain management, scrap -tire
campaigns, breeding site removal, landscape modifications, or pesticide application.
Requirements for participation in this program include providing for the placement of a
minimum number of mosquito traps, operating for at least five "trap -nights" per week,
conducting a minimum number of targeted tick "drags," and identifying ticks and
mosquitoes. Bi-weekly (occurring every two weeks) reporting to MDHHS of grant
activities is also required. MDHHS EZID should be notified immediately if an invasive
mosquito or tick species is identified.
Reporting Requirements (if different than contract language)
The subrecipient shall submit bi-weekly tables of surveillance data (template provided)
documenting trap rates and disease detections to Emily Dinh (dinhena michioan.00v) and
Rachel Wilkins (rwilkins3(amichioan.00v) at the MDHHS EZID Section.
Any additional requirements (if applicable)
• Mosquito and/or Tick Surveillance
• Minimum recommended mosquito and tick surveillance effort according to the
point formula in Table 1 (below) over a period of 14 weeks.
• Provide bi-weekly reporting of surveillance results to MDHHS EZID Section (see
contact information below).
• Use surveillance data to notify the public of risks related to vector borne disease in
mosquitoes or ticks in the jurisdiction.
The total funds allocated for this project to participating local health departments
must be utilized prior to September 30.
• Each local health department as a sub -recipient of the State of Michigan Emerging
Public Health Funds shall conduct activities for the purposes of mosquito and tick
surveillance in their jurisdiction. For mosquito surveillance, funds may be used to
support personnel, to purchase equipment and supplies related to conducting
mosquito surveillance in areas of historically high incidence of arboviral disease,
and to produce and distribute educational and other materials related to mosquito -
borne disease prevention and control. For tick surveillance, funds may be used to
support personnel, to purchase equipment and supplies, and to produce and/or
distribute educational and other materials related to tick -borne disease prevention
and control.
Activities can be conducted according to the needs of the local jurisdiction but
must conform to the point allocation formula in the table below. Each activity listed
is awarded 2 points and a local jurisdiction must accumulate at least 64 points
during the funded timeframe (April 1-Sept.30). Mosquito surveillance and tick
surveillance have required minimum efforts totaling 32 points. The remainder of
the required points (32 points) may be accomplished according to the needs of the
local health department. For instance, if mosquitoes are more of a concern in the
jurisdiction, the funded LHD can focus its efforts on mosquito surveillance,
educational activities, etc. If ticks are more of a concern in the jurisdiction, the
funded LHD can focus its efforts on tick surveillance, educational activities, etc.
