Due to the continued volatile nature of nitrile gloves and the fluctuating costs to procure, Northern Safety would like to remove these items from our market basket. Now that we are starting to get reliable stock of these products, but at a much higher cost point, we cannot meet the initial pricing structure set for these items. We do not want to do a price increase on them to meet the current cost point to purchase while the trend is for these costs continue to decline. Doing so will potentially put members paying a higher price than is warranted. We can look to add them once the market has stabilized. Please see the attached document for list of products to be removed from the market basket.

Describe Offeror's contract implementation/customer transition plan. As an example, attach a high-level project schedule, with milestones from each implementation phase, include training that customer will receive as part of the transition. Northern Safety Response: It is our goal to complete the implementation of the new Region 4 ESC/ OMNIA MRO contract in less than 90 days to make it as seamless and success to Region 4 ESC and all Participating Public Agencies.

Founded in 1945 by the Wurth family, we are proud to still be privately owned allowing us the flexibility to meet our company goals that are not dictated by shareholders. We are a financially robust company which offers us the ability to grow through operational enhancements, organic customer growth and acquisitions. i. Contractors that have retail stores shall have appropriate procedures in place to ensure contract pricing on all product lines to member agencies. Describe how agencies choosing to pick up the orders will receive the correct contract pricing. Indicate how volume will be tracked and reported to OMNIA Partners. Northern Safety Response: Branch Stores: NSI is a wholesale distribution company with branch locations and not retail outlet stores. Our branch locations are available to receive walk-in or will call orders to meet the needs of customers. Contract Pricing Procedures: A contract is assigned a hierarchy number which contains all of the pertinent contract information including: pricing discounts, market basket items, market basket pricing, shipping terms, payment terms, special handling notes, and all other contract pertinent information. Once a Participating Public Agency provides NSI its OMNIA membership number, their account(s) are attached to the assigned hierarchy number which automatically feeds all appropriate contract information and settings required. The process to attach a Participating Public Agency to the Region 4 ESC/ OMNIA Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) Supplies and Related Services contract will be completed within 24 hours of request. Typical response time to complete the request is 6 hours and can be completed at time of request if needed. Contract Pricing Access: Once a Participating Public Agency has provided NSI their OMNIA membership number and their account(s) have been attached to the hierarchy, they will be able to access their contract pricing through all of our ordering methods, including Walk In and Will Call orders at our Branches. To place an order including at one of our Branches, the Participating Public Agency should provide their NSI account number. If they do not know or do not have available at time of purchase, we can locate their account by utilizing the Customers Agency Name, Agency Address, Agency Phone Number, Agency Ship to Address, Buyers Name, Buyers E-mail or Buyers Phone Number. If a Buyer has not ordered with NSI previously and has not been set up in our system as such, we can set him/her up at time of purchase to the appropriate Participating Public Agency account, including access to our website for future shopping capabilities. • Store/ Branch Ordering Process: All in store purchases will be conducted through NSI's standard branch customer service processes. The following outlines what this process looks like: o Participating Public Agency customer identified through the above factors o Desired items scanned/entered and appropriate contract price applied via OMNIA affiliated account number within NSI's SAP ordering system o Product order picked from inventory and provided to customer. If desired product is in stock at a different branch or distribution center — shipping instructions will be inquired. All orders ship to customers desired business location. o Receipt issued to customer o Transaction closed and information processed for billing within the system. Report Tracking to OMNIA: All sales reporting required by OMNIA on a monthly basis will be provided as required. All Participating Public Agencies affiliated to the Region 4 ESC/ OMNIA MRO contract sales will be tracked through our hierarchy affiliation in SAP regardless of ordering method. With this capability, capturing all OMNIA sales at time of purchase for all ordering methods is an instantaneous process. We have a robust reporting system through Microsoft Business Intelligence that can pull several different reporting parameters for any desired time frame to include a specific day, week, month, quarter or other timeframes. j. Payment terms/options. Include standard payment terms, early payment discounts and forms of payment accepted. Also state the Convenience Fee, if allowable, per the Visa Operating Regulations.

All credit/procurement card transactions are processed through our mainframe computer system. Due to this, NSI does not need to utilize credit card processing equipment provided by the credit card companies. Convenience Fee — Not applicable SAFETY DISTRIBUTORS E-Commerce Apruval Rating Report Introduction Over the last decade, the way people purchase has drastically changed. Instead of going to the store or looking through a paper catalog, consumers are now researching and purchasing online. Though businesses have commonly associated this behavior with the consumer realm, these conveniences have increasingly been adopted in the professional realm as well. Consequently, business buyers are starting to demand the same fast shipping, self-service models, variety of payment options, and streamlined check-out that they get from their consumer retailers. All of this --including specific 13213 features --makes for an interesting challenge for 13213 suppliers. At Apruve, we wanted to benchmark this digital transformation and help companies understand where they fit in their industry --providing ideas to improve with the intention to increase their online presence. We hope you enjoy the report and find it helpful. Michael Noble CEO Apruve, Inc.

SAFETY DISTRIBUTORS - Apruval Rating Report 6 Findings ONLINE STRATEGY 76% of business buyers use a search engine to research a new product or business. Through this report, it is clear many online stores in the safety distribution industry are not actively competing to get the attention of these new potential buyers. Many reviewed stores are not actively participating in Search Engine Marketing (SEM) or optimizing their site for Search Engine Optimization (SEO). In fact, many stores actually lock their site to hide the pricing of products from new buyers. In the past, locking sites was a common way to hide your site in fear of the competition knowing your pricing. Unfortunately, implementing this practice destroys your site's SEO and diminishes the ability to pay for targeted keywords and direct people to your product pages. Additionally, any new buyer wishing to make an immediate purchase will go elsewhere as creating an account can take a long time. With the advancement of these key 13213 features, stores can now be protective of their data, while actively marketing to new buyers: Account Pricing - Creating account specific pricing along normal pricing for the general public. Non -logged in users will be able to search for and buy your product, but encouraged to create an account for better pricing. Volume Pricing / Minimum order - Many retailers prefer not to unlock their site due to the fact that they do not want to receive consumer orders. This can be changed through implementing a minimum order or creating volume pricing that will be out of reach of a typical consumer. Quick Account Creation - All of your processes should be streamlined. In many sites, we had to download a credit app, print it, fill it in, and then email it back. Most of this process is not consistent with eCommerce systems. Instead, try creating built-in processes that don't slow down ordering, such as online forms or automated chat functions. MOST SITES FALL INTO ONE OF TWO BUCKETS In the creation of this report it became clear that most 13213 eCommerce storefronts fall into 1 of the 2 buckets: 132C Feel with no 13213 - These sites are beautiful and easy to navigate. You can quickly find what you are looking for and have a great experience finding and looking through products. It isn't until checkout that you realize the site is missing volume or account pricing, nuanced shipping options and your preferred payments. This is where most buyers then abandon their cart. 132113 needs with no 132C Feel - These sites tend to have everything their business buyer needs. They built their site around their current customers' needs down to the last detail. Sadly, their site was not built with the user experience in mind. This means that the vast majority of their features are hard to find and your customers will continue to order offline as it is the easier option. The top performers do not fit into either of these buckets. They find themselves somewhere in between. They are a beautiful mix of B213 needs with a B2C feel, allowing their site to quickly meet the needs of their buyers through a fantastic experience that consumers are used to. To be the best in this industry, a company needs to think outside the box and find ways to automate and streamline their 13213 sales process and remove as much friction as possible in online purchasing. In doing so, a site will see drastic growth in customer acquisition and on -boarding. SAFETY DISTRIBUTORS - Apruval Rating Report 7 Case Studies Northern Safety & Industrial This site has everything that customers need - from a good user experience and a wide array of 13213 features. Their user experience is top-notch, showing all the information that is needed to make a confident purchasing decision; product descriptions, customer reviews, pricing guides, and recommended products. Their ample amount of product information and social proof undoubtedly plays a positive role in their conversion rates. On top of that, the website is well maintained and easy to get from product to purchase. Along with the user experience, their eCommerce offerings are a step above the rest.

The law states that a governmental entity or state agency may not enter into certain contracts with a business entity unless the business entity submits a disclosure of interested parties to the governmental entity or state agency at the time the business entity submits the signed contract to the governmental entity or state agency. The law applies only to a contract of a governmental entity or state agency that either (1) requires an action or vote by the governing body of the entity or agency before the contract may be signed or (2) has a value of at least $1 million. The disclosure requirement applies to a contract entered into on or after January 1, 2016. The Texas Ethics Commission was required to adopt rules necessary to implement that law, prescribe the disclosure of interested parties form, and post a copy of the form on the commission's website. The commission adopted the Certificate of Interested Parties form (Form 1295) on October 5, 2015. The commission also adopted new rules (Chapter 46) on November 30, 2015, to implement the law. The commission does not have any additional authority to enforce or interpret House Bill 1295. Filing Process: Staring on January 1, 2016, the commission made available on its website a new filing application that must be used to file Form 1295. A business entity must use the application to enter the required information on Form 1295 and print a copy of the completed form, which will include a certification of filing that will contain a unique certification number. An authorized agent of the business entity must sign the printed copy of the form. The completed Form 1295 with the certification of filing must be filed with the governmental body or state agency with which the business entity is entering into the contract. The governmental entity or state agency must notify the commission, using the commission's filing application, of the receipt of the filed Form 1295 with the certification of filing not later than the 30th day after the date the contract binds all parties to the contract. This process is known as acknowledging the certificate. The commission will post the acknowledged Form 1295 to its website within seven business days after receiving notice from the governmental entity or state agency. The posted acknowledged form does not contain the declaration of signature information provided by the business. A certificate will stay in the pending state until it is acknowledged by the governmental agency. Only acknowledged certificates are posted to the commission's website.

Such a conflict would arise when the employee, officer, or agent, any member of his or her immediate family, his or her partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of these parties, has a financial or other interest in or a tangible personal benefit from a firm considered for award. 2 C.F.R. § 200.318(c)(1); See also Standard Form 424D, ¶ 7; Standard Form 424B, 13. i. FEMA considers a "financial interest" to be the potential for gain or loss to the employee, officer, or agent, any member of his or her immediate family, his or her partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of these parties as a result of the particular procurement. The prohibited financial interest may arise from ownership of certain financial instruments or investments such as stock, bonds, or real estate, or from a salary, indebtedness, job offer, or similar interest that might be affected by the particular procurement. ii. FEMA considers an "apparent" conflict of interest to exist where an actual conflict does not exist, but where a reasonable person with knowledge of the relevant facts would question the impartiality of the employee, officer, or agent participating in the procurement. c. Gifts. The officers, employees, and agents of Region 4 ESC nor the Participating Public Agency ("NFE") must neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value from contractors or parties to subcontracts. However, NFE's may set standards for situations in which the financial interest is de minimus, not substantial, or the gift is an unsolicited item of nominal value. 2 C.F.R. § 200.318(c)(1). d. Violations. The NFE's written standards of conduct must provide for disciplinary actions to be applied for violations of such standards by officers, employees, or agents of the NFE. 2 C.F.R. § 200.318(c)(1). For example, the penalty for a NFE's employee may be dismissal, and the penalty for a contractor might be the termination of the contract.

No amount ever shall be owed or paid to Contractor for lost or anticipated profits on any part of the Scope of Work not performed or for consequential damages of any kind. 2. Equal Employment Opportunity: Region 4 ESC highly encourages Contractors to implement Affirmative Action practices in their employment programs. This means Contractor should not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, political belief or affiliation, age, disability or genetic information. During the performance of this contract, the contractor agrees as follows: (1) The contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. The contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the 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.

(3) The contractor will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because such employee or applicant has inquired about, discussed, or disclosed the compensation of the employee or applicant or another employee or applicant. This provision shall not apply to instances in which an employee who has access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of such employee's essential job functions discloses the compensation of such other employees or applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to such information, unless such disclosure is in response to a formal complaint or charge, in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or is consistent with the contractor's legal duty to furnish information. (4) The contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which it has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided by the agency contracting officer, advising the labor union or workers' representative of the contractor's commitments under section 202 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment.

(7) In the event of the contractor's non-compliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this contract or with any of such rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be canceled, terminated or suspended in whole or in part and the contractor may be declared ineligible for further Government contracts in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law. (8) The contractor will include the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (8) in every subcontract or purchase order unless exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor issued pursuant to section 204 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, so that such provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor. The contractor will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as may be directed by the Secretary of Labor as a means of enforcing such provisions including sanctions for noncompliance: Provided, however, that in the event the contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction, the contractor may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States. 3.

The contractor will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance: Provided, however, That in the event a contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the administering agency the contractor may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States." 4. Davis Bacon Act and Copeland Anti -Kickback Act. a. Applicability of Davis -Bacon Act. The Davis -Bacon Act only applies to the emergency Management Preparedness Grant Program, Homeland Security Grant Program, Nonprofit Security Grant Program, Tribal Homeland Security Grant Program, Port Security Grant Program, and Transit Security Grant Program. It does not apply to other FEMA grant and cooperative agreement programs, including the Public Assistance Program. b. All prime construction contracts in excess of $2,000 awarded by non -Federal entities must include a provision for compliance with the Davis -Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. §§ 3141- 3144 and 3146-3148) as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations at 29 C.F.R. Part 5 (Labor Standards Provisions Applicable to Contracts Covering Federally Financed and Assisted Construction)). See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II, ¶ D. c. In accordance with the statute, contractors must be required to pay wages to laborers and mechanics at a rate not less than the prevailing wages specified in a wage determination made by the Secretary of Labor. In addition, contractors must be required to pay wages not less than once a week. d. The non -Federal entity must place a copy of the current prevailing wage determination issued by the Department of Labor in each solicitation. The decision to award a contract or subcontract must be conditioned upon the acceptance of the wage determination. The non -Federal entity must report all suspected or reported violations to the Federal awarding agency. e. In contracts subject to the Davis -Bacon Act, the contracts must also include a provision for compliance with the Copeland "Anti -Kickback" Act (40 U.S.C. § 3145), as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations at 29 C.F.R. Part 3 (Contractors and Subcontractors on Public Building or Public Work Financed in Whole or in Part by Loans or Grants from the United States). The Copeland Anti - Kickback Act provides that each contractor or subrecipient must be prohibited from inducing, by any means, any person employed in the construction, completion, or repair of public work, to give up any part of the compensation to which he or she is otherwise entitled. The non -Federal entity must report all suspected or reported violations to FEMA. f. The regulation at 29 C.F.R. § 5.5(a) does provide the required contract clause that applies to compliance with both the Davis -Bacon and Copeland Acts. However, as discussed in the previous subsection, the Davis -Bacon Act does not apply to Public Assistance recipients and subrecipients. In situations where the Davis -Bacon Act does not apply, neither does the Copeland "Anti -Kickback Act." However, for purposes of grant programs where both clauses do apply, FEMA requires the following contract clause: "Compliance with the Copeland "Anti -Kickback" Act. (1) Contractor. The contractor shall comply with 18 U.S.C. § 874, 40U.S.C. § 3145, and the requirements of 29 C.F.R. pt. 3 as may be applicable, which are incorporated by reference into this contract. (2) Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clause above and such other clauses as the FEMA may by appropriate instructions require, and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all of these contract clauses (3) Breach. A breach of the contract clauses above may be grounds for termination of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and subcontractor as provided in 29 C.F.R. § 5.12." 5. Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. a. Applicability: This requirement applies to all FEMA grant and cooperative agreement programs. b. Where applicable (see 40 U.S.C. § 3701), all contracts awarded by the non -Federal entity in excess of $100,000 that involve the employment of mechanics or laborers must include a provision for compliance with 40 U.S.C. §§ 3702 and 3704, as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations at 29 C.F.R. Part 5. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II, ¶ E. c. Under 40 U.S.C. § 3702, each contractor must be required to compute the wages of every mechanic and laborer on the basis of a standard work week of 40 hours. Work in excess of the standard work week is permissible provided that the worker is compensated at a rate of not less than one and a half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in the work week. d. The requirements of 40 U.S.C. § 3704 are applicable to construction work and provide that no laborer or mechanic must be required to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous. These requirements do not apply to the purchases of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or contracts for transportation or transmission of intelligence. e. The regulation at 29 C.F.R. § 5.5(b) provides the required contract clause concerning compliance with the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act: "Compliance with the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. (1) Overtime requirements. No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the contract work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he or she is employed on such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek. (2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this section the contractor and any subcontractor responsible therefor shall be liable for the unpaid wages. In addition, such contractor and subcontractor shall be liable to the United States (in the case of work done under contract for the District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory), for liquidated damages. Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or mechanic, including watchmen and guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this section, in the sum of $10 for each calendar day on which such individual was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek of forty hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this section. (3) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages. The (write in the name of the Federal agency or the loan or grant recipient) shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld, from any moneys payable on account of work performed by the contractor or subcontractor under any such contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally -assisted contract subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, which is held by the same prime contractor, such sums as may be determined to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such contractor or subcontractor for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as provided in the clause set forth in paragraph (2) of this section. (4) Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses set forth in paragraph (1) through (4) of this section and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with the clauses set forth in paragraphs (1) through (4) of this section." 6. Rights to Inventions Made Under a Contract or Agreement. a. Stafford Act Disaster Grants. This requirement does not apply to the Public Assistance, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, Fire Management Assistance Grant Program, Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Grant Program, Disaster Case Management Grant Program, and Federal Assistance to Individuals and Households — Other Needs Assistance Grant Program, as FEMA awards under these programs do not meet the definition of "funding agreement." b. If the FEMA award meets the definition of "funding agreement" under 37 C.F.R. § 401.2(a) and the non -Federal entity wishes to enter into a contract with a small business firm or nonprofit organization regarding the substitution of parties, assignment or performance of experimental, developmental, or research work under that "funding agreement," the non -Federal entity must comply with the requirements of 37 C.F.R. Part 401 (Rights to Inventions Made by Nonprofit Organizations and Small Business Firms Under Government Grants, Contracts and Cooperative Agreements), and any implementing regulations issued by FEMA. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II, ¶ F. c. The regulation at 37 C.F.R. § 401.2(a) currently defines "funding agreement" as any contract, grant, or cooperative agreement entered into between any Federal agency, other than the Tennessee Valley Authority, and any contractor for the performance of experimental, developmental, or research work funded in whole or in part by the Federal government. This term also includes any assignment, substitution of parties, or subcontract of any type entered into for the performance of experimental, developmental, or research work under a funding agreement as defined in the first sentence of this paragraph. 7. Clean Air Act and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. Contracts of amounts in excess of $150,000 must contain a provision that requires the contractor to agree to comply with all applicable standards, orders, or regulations issued pursuant to the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. §§ 7401-7671q) and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act as amended (33 U.S.C. §§ 12511387). Violations must be reported to FEMA and the Regional Office of the Environmental Protection Agency. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II, ¶ G. a. The following provides a sample contract clause concerning compliance for contracts of amounts in excess of $150,000: "C'1Pnn Air Art § 7401 et seq. (1) The contractor agrees to comply with all applicable standards, orders or regulations issued pursuant to the Clean Air Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. (2) The contractor agrees to report each violation to the (name of the state agency or local or Indian tribal government) and understands and agrees that the (name of the state agency or local or Indian tribal government) will, in turn, report each violation as required to assure notification to the (name of recipient), Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the appropriate Environmental Protection Agency Regional Office. (3) The contractor agrees to include these requirements in each subcontract exceeding $150,000 financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance provided by FEMA. Federal Water Pollution Control Act (1) The contractor agrees to comply with all applicable standards, orders or regulations issued pursuant to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq. (2) The contractor agrees to report each violation to the (name of the state agency or local or Indian tribal government) and understands and agrees that the (name of the state agency or local or Indian tribal government) will, in turn, report each violation as required to assure notification to the (name of recipient), Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the appropriate Environmental Protection Agency Regional Office. (3) The contractor agrees to include these requirements in each subcontract exceeding $150,000 financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance provided by FEMA." 8. Debarment and Suspension. a. Applicability: This requirement applies to all FEMA grant and cooperative agreement programs. b. Non-federal entities and contractors are subject to the debarment and suspension regulations implementing Executive Order 12549, Debarment and Suspension (1986) and Executive Order 12689, Debarment and Suspension (1989) at 2 C.F.R. Part 180 and the Department of Homeland Security's regulations at 2 C.F.R. Part 3000 (Non procurement Debarment and Suspension). c. These regulations restrict awards, subawards, and contracts with certain parties that are debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded from or ineligible for participation in Federal assistance programs and activities. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II, ¶ H; and Procurement Guidance for Recipients and Subrecipients Under 2 C.F.R. Part 200 (Uniform Rules): Supplement to the Public Assistance Procurement Disaster Assistance Team (PDAT) Field Manual Chapter IV, ¶ 6.d, and Appendix C, ¶ 2 [hereinafter PDAT Supplement]. A contract award must not be made to parties listed in the SAM Exclusions. SAM Exclusions is the list maintained by the General Services Administration that contains the names of parties debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded by agencies, as well as parties declared ineligible under statutory or regulatory authority other than Executive Order 12549. SAM exclusions can be accessed at www.sam.gov. See 2 C.F.R. § 180.530; PDAT Supplement, Chapter IV, ¶ 6.d and Appendix C, ¶ 2. d. In general, an "excluded" party cannot receive a Federal grant award or a contract within the meaning of a "covered transaction," to include subawards and subcontracts. This includes parties that receive Federal funding indirectly, such as contractors to recipients and subrecipients. The key to the exclusion is whether there is a "covered transaction," which is any non -procurement transaction (unless excepted) at either a "primary" or "secondary" tier. Although "covered transactions" do not include contracts awarded by the Federal Government for purposes of the non - procurement common rule and DHS's implementing regulations, it does include some contracts awarded by recipients and subrecipient. e. Specifically, a covered transaction includes the following contracts for goods or services: (1) The contract is awarded by a recipient or subrecipient in the amount of at least $25,000. (2) The contract requires the approval of FEMA, regardless of amount. (3) The contract is for federally required audit services. (4) A subcontract is also a covered transaction if it is awarded by the contractor of a recipient or subrecipient and requires either the approval of FEMA or is in excess of $25,000. d. The following provides a debarment and suspension clause. It incorporates an optional method of verifying that contractors are not excluded or disqualified: "Suspension and Debarment (1) This contract is a covered transaction for purposes of 2 C.F.R. pt. 180 and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000. As such the contractor is required to verify that none of the contractor, its principals (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.995), or its affiliates (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.905) are excluded (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.940) or disqualified (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.935). (2) The contractor must comply with 2 C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000, subpart C and must include a requirement to comply with these regulations in any lower tier covered transaction it enters into. (3) This certification is a material representation of fact relied upon by (insert name of subrecipient). If it is later determined that the contractor did not comply with 2 C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000, subpart C, in addition to remedies available to (name of state agency serving as recipient and name of subrecipient), the Federal Government may pursue available remedies, including but not limited to suspension and/or debarment. (4) The bidder or proposer agrees to comply with the requirements of 2 C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000, subpart C while this offer is valid and throughout the period of any contract that may arise from this offer. The bidder or proposer further agrees to include a provision requiring such compliance in its lower tier covered transactions." 9. Byrd Anti -Lobbying Amendment. a. Applicability: This requirement applies to all FEMA grant and cooperative agreement programs. b. Contractors that apply or bid for an award of $100,000 or more must file the required certification. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II, ¶ I; 44 C.F.R. Part 18; PDAT Supplement, Chapter IV, 6.c; Appendix C, ¶ 4. c. Each tier certifies to the tier above that it will not and has not used Federal appropriated funds to pay any person or organization for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a member of Congress, officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a member of Congress in connection with obtaining any Federal contract, grant or any other award covered by 31 U.S.C. § 1352. Each tier must also disclose any lobbying with non -Federal funds that takes place in connection with obtaining any Federal award. Such disclosures are forwarded from tier to tier up to the non -Federal award. See PDAT Supplement, Chapter IV, ¶ 6.c and Appendix C, ¶ 4. d. The following provides a Byrd Anti -Lobbying contract clause: "Byrd Anti -Lobbying Amendment, 31 U.S.C. 1352 (as amended) Contractors who apply or bid for an award of $100,000 or more shall file the required certification. Each tier certifies to the tier above that it will not and has not used Federal appropriated funds to pay any person or organization for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a member of Congress, officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a member of Congress in connection with obtaining any Federal contract, grant, or any other award covered by 31 U.S.C. § 1352. Each tier shall also disclose any lobbying with non -Federal funds that takes place in connection with obtaining any Federal award. Such disclosures are forwarded from tier to tier up to the recipient." APPENDIX A, 44 C.F.R. PART 18 — CERTIFICATION REGARDING LOBBYING Certification for Contracts, Grants, Loans, and Cooperative Agreements (To be submitted with each bid or offer exceeding $100,000) The undersigned [Contractor] certifies, to the best of his or her knowledge, that: 1.

If any funds other than Federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection with this Federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement, the undersigned shall complete and submit Standard Form- LLL, "Disclosure Form to Report Lobbying," in accordance with its instructions. 3. The undersigned shall require that the language of this certification be included in the award documents for all subawards at all tiers (including subcontracts, subgrants, and contracts under grants, loans, and cooperative agreements) and that all subrecipients shall certify and disclose accordingly. This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when this transaction was made or entered into. Submission of this certification is a prerequisite for making or entering into this transaction imposed by 31, U.S.C. § 1352 (as amended by the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995). Any person who fails to file the required certification shall be subject to a civil penalty of not less than $10,000 and not more than $100,000 for each such failure. The Contractor, Northern Safety Co., Inc certifies or affirms the truthfulness and accuracy of each statement of its certification and disclosure, if any.

Signature of Contractor's Authorized Official Neil I Sexton - President & COO Name and Title of Contractor's Authorized Official t�a�5 Date" 10. Procurement of Recovered Materials. a. Applicability: This requirement applies to all FEMA grant and cooperative agreement programs. b. A non -Federal entity that is a state agency or agency of a political subdivision of a state and its contractors must comply with Section 6002 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, Pub. L. No. 89-272 (1965) (codified as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act at 42 U.S.C. § 6962). See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II, ¶ J; 2 C.F.R. § 200.322; PDAT Supplement, Chapter V, ¶ 7. C. The requirements of Section 6002 include procuring only items designated in guidelines of the EPA at 40 C.F.R. Part 247 that contain the highest percentage of recovered materials practicable, consistent with maintaining a satisfactory level of competition, where the purchase price of the item exceeds $10,000 or the value of the quantity acquired by the preceding fiscal year exceeded $10,000; procuring solid waste management services in a manner that maximizes energy and resource recovery; and establishing an affirmative procurement program for procurement of recovered materials identified in the EPA guidelines. d. The following Provides the clause that a state agency or agency of a Political subdivision of a state and its contractors can include in contracts meeting the above contract thresholds: "(1) In the performance of this contract, the Contractor shall make maximum use of products containing recovered materials that are EPA- designated items unless the product cannot be acquired— (i) Competitively within a timeframe providing for compliance with the contract performance schedule; (ii) Meeting contract performance requirements; or (iii) At a reasonable price. (2) Information about this requirement, along with the list of EPA- designate items, is available at EPA's Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines web site, https://www.epa.gov/smm/comprehensive- procurement-guideline-cpq-program." 11. Additional FEMA Requirements. a. The Uniform Rules authorize FEMA to require additional provisions for non- Federal entity contracts. FEMA, pursuant to this authority, requires or recommends the following: b. Changes. To be eligible for FEMA assistance under the non -Federal entity's FEMA grant or cooperative agreement, the cost of the change, modification, change order, or constructive change must be allowable, allocable, within the scope of its grant or cooperative agreement, and reasonable for the completion of project scope. FEMA recommends, therefore, that a non -Federal entity include a changes clause in its contract that describes how, if at all, changes can be made by either party to alter the method, price, or schedule of the work without breaching the contract. The language of the clause may differ depending on the nature of the contract and the end -item procured. c. Access to Records. All non -Federal entities must place into their contracts a provision that all contractors and their successors, transferees, assignees, and subcontractors acknowledge and agree to comply with applicable provisions governing Department and FEMA access to records, accounts, documents, information, facilities, and staff.

(2) The Contractor agrees to permit any of the foregoing parties to reproduce by any means whatsoever or to copy excerpts and transcriptions as reasonably needed. (3) The contractor agrees to provide the FEMA Administrator or his authorized representatives access to construction or other work sites pertaining to the work being completed under the contract." 12. DHS Seal, Logo, and Flags. a.

Additions to Appendix C — ADDITIONAL REQUIRED DOCUMENTS Appendix C, DOC # 5 SPECIAL CONDITIONS The below clauses are applicable to the Offer; by Submitting a Sealed Proposal the Offeror is accepting these Special Conditions: Conflicts of Interest No employee, officer, or agent may participate in the selection, award, or administration of a contract supported by a FEMA award if he or she has a real or apparent conflict of interest. Such a conflict would arise when the employee, officer, or agent, any member of his or her immediate family, his or her partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of these parties, has a financial or other interest in or a tangible personal benefit from a firm considered for award. 2 C.F.R. § 200.318(c)(1); See also Standard Form 424D, ¶ 7; Standard Form 424B, ¶ 3. i. FEMA considers a "financial interest" to be the potential for gain or loss to the employee, officer, or agent, any member of his or her immediate family, his or her partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of these parties as a result of the particular procurement. The prohibited financial interest may arise from ownership of certain financial instruments or investments such as stock, bonds, or real estate, or from a salary, indebtedness, job offer, or similar interest that might be affected by the particular procurement. ii. FEMA considers an "apparent" conflict of interest to exist where an actual conflict does not exist, but where a reasonable person with knowledge of the relevant facts would question the impartiality of the employee, officer, or agent participating in the procurement. c. Gifts. The officers, employees, and agents of Region 4 ESC nor the Participating Public Agency ("NFE") must neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value from contractors or parties to subcontracts. However, NFE's may set standards for situations in which the financial interest is de minimus, not substantial, or the gift is an unsolicited item of nominal value. 2 C.F.R. § 200.318(c)(1). d. Violations. The NFE's written standards of conduct must provide for disciplinary actions to be applied for violations of such standards by officers, employees, or agents of the NFE. 2 C.F.R. § 200.318(c)(1). For example, the penalty for a NFE's employee may be dismissal, and the penalty for a contractor might be the termination of the contract. Contractor Integrity A contractor must have a satisfactory record of integrity and business ethics. Contractors that are debarred or suspended as described in Chapter III, ¶ 6.d must be rejected and cannot receive contract awards at any level. Public Policy A contractor must comply with the public policies of the Federal Government and state, local government, or tribal government. This includes, among other things, past and current compliance with the: a. Equal opportunity and nondiscrimination laws b. Five affirmative steps described at 2 C.F.R. § 200.321(b) for all subcontracting under contracts supported by FEMA financial assistance; and FEMA Procurement Guidance June 21, 2016 Page IV- 7 c.

Placing qualified small and minority businesses and women's business enterprises on solicitation lists; 2. Assuring that small and minority businesses, and women's business enterprises are solicited whenever they are potential sources; 3. Dividing total requirements, when economically feasible, into smaller tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by small and minority businesses, and women's business enterprises; 4. Establishing delivery schedules, where the requirement permits, which encourage participation by small and minority businesses, and women's business enterprises; and 5. Using the services and assistance, as appropriate, of such organizations as the Small Business Administration and the Minority Business Development Agency of the Department of Commerce; Federal Requirements Services issued under this contract may be in response to an emergency or disaster recovery situation and eligible for federal funding; Services issued in response to an emergency or disaster recovery situation are subject to and must comply with all federal requirements applicable to the funding. The remaining items below, located in this Special Conditions section, are activated and required when federal funding may be utilized. 2 C.F.R. & 200.326 and 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II, Required Contract Clauses 1. Termination for Convenience The right to terminate this Contract for the convenience of Region 4 ESC is retained by Region 4 ESC. In the event of a termination for convenience by Region 4 ESC, Region 4 ESC shall, at least ten (10) calendar days in advance, deliver written notice of the termination for convenience to Contractor. Upon Contractor's receipt of such written notice, Contractor immediately shall cease the performance of the Work and shall take reasonable and appropriate action to secure and protect the Work then in place. Contractor shall then be paid by Region 4 ESC, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Contract Documents, an amount not to exceed the actual labor costs incurred, the actual cost of all materials installed and the actual cost of all materials stored at the project site or away from the project site, as approved in writing by Region 4 ESC but not yet paid for and which cannot be returned, and actual, reasonable and documented demobilization costs, if any, paid by Contractor and approved by Region 4 ESC in connection with the Scope of Work in place which is completed as of the date of termination by Region 4 ESC and that is in conformance with the Contract Documents, less all amounts previously paid for the Work. No amount ever shall be owed or paid to Contractor for lost or anticipated profits on any part of the Scope of Work not performed or for consequential damages of any kind. 2. Equal Employment Opportunity: Region 4 ESC highly encourages Contractors to implement Affirmative Action practices in their employment programs.

During the performance of this contract, the contractor agrees as follows: (1) The contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. The contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the 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. The contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided by the contracting officer setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause. (2) The contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of the contractor, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. (3) The contractor will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because such employee or applicant has inquired about, discussed, or disclosed the compensation of the employee or applicant or another employee or applicant. This provision shall not apply to instances in which an employee who has access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of such employee's essential job functions discloses the compensation of such other employees or applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to such information, unless such disclosure is in response to a formal complaint or charge, in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or is consistent with the contractor's legal duty to furnish information. (4) The contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which it has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided by the agency contracting officer, advising the labor union or workers' representative of the contractor's commitments under section 202 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment.

(7) In the event of the contractor's non-compliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this contract or with any of such rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be canceled, terminated or suspended in whole or in part and the contractor may be declared ineligible for further Government contracts in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law. (8) The contractor will include the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (8) in every subcontract or purchase order unless exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor issued pursuant to section 204 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, so that such provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor. The contractor will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as may be directed by the Secretary of Labor as a means of enforcing such provisions including sanctions for noncompliance: Provided, however, that in the event the contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction, the contractor may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States. 3. "During the performance of this contract, the contractor agrees as follows: (1) The contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

(2) The contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of the contractor, state that all qualified applicants will receive considerations for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. (3) The contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided advising the said labor union or workers' representatives of the contractor's commitments under this section, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment. (4) The contractor will comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor.

(6) In the event of the contractor's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this contract or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the contractor may be declared ineligible for further Government contracts or federally assisted construction contracts in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions as may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided bylaw.

The contractor will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance: Provided, however, That in the event a contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the administering agency the contractor may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States." 4. Davis Bacon Act and Copeland Anti-KickbackAct. a. Applicability of Davis -Bacon Act. The Davis -Bacon Act only applies to the emergency Management Preparedness Grant Program, Homeland Security Grant Program, Nonprofit Security Grant Program, Tribal Homeland Security Grant Program, Port Security Grant Program, and Transit Security Grant Program. It does not aag_Iv to other FEMA grant and cooperative agreement rg_ograms, including the Public Assistance Program. b. All prime construction contracts in excess of $2,000 awarded by non -Federal entities must include a provision for compliance with the Davis -Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. §§ 3141-3144 and 3146-3148) as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations at 29 C.F.R. Part 5 (Labor Standards Provisions Applicable to Contracts Covering Federally Financed and Assisted Construction)). See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II, ¶ D. c. In accordance with the statute, contractors must be required to pay wages to laborers and mechanics at a rate not less than the prevailing wages specified in a wage determination made by the Secretary of Labor. In addition, contractors must be required to pay wages not less than once aweek. d. The non -Federal entity must place a copy of the current prevailing wage determination issued by the Department of Labor in each solicitation. The decision to award a contract or subcontract must be conditioned upon the acceptance of the wage determination. The non -Federal entity must report all suspected or reported violations to the Federal awarding agency. e. In contracts subject to the Davis -Bacon Act, the contracts must also include a provision for compliance with the Copeland "Anti -Kickback" Act (40 U.S.C. § 3145), as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations at 29 C.F.R. Part 3 (Contractors and Subcontractors on Public Building or Public Work Financed in Whole or in Part by Loans or Grants from the United States). The Copeland Anti - Kickback Act provides that each contractor or subrecipient must be prohibited from inducing, by any means, any person employed in the construction, completion, or repair of public work, to give up any part of the compensation to which he or she is otherwise entitled. The non -Federal entity must report all suspected or reported violations to FEMA. The regulation at 29 C.F.R. § 5.5(a) does provide the required contract clause that applies to compliance with both the Davis -Bacon and Copeland Acts. However, as discussed in the previous subsection, the Davis -Bacon Act does not apply to Public Assistance recipients and subrecipients. In situations where the Davis -Bacon Act does not a12121y. neither does the Copeland "Anti -Kickback Act." However, for purposes of grant programs where both clauses do apply, FEMA requires the following contract clause: "Compliance with the Copeland "Anti -Kickback" Act. (1) Contractor. The contractor shall comply with 18 U.S.C. § 874, 40U.S.C. § 3145, and the requirements of 29 C.F.R. pt. 3 as may be applicable, which are incorporated by reference into this contract. (2) Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clause above and such other clauses as the FEMA may by appropriate instructions require, and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all of these contract clauses (3) Breach. A breach of the contract clauses above may be grounds for termination of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and subcontractor as provided in 29 C.F.R. § 5.12." 5. Contract Work Hours and SafetvStandards Act. a. Applicability: This requirement applies to all FEMA grant and cooperative agreement programs. b. Where applicable (see 40 U.S.C. § 3701), all contracts awarded by the non -Federal entity in excess of $100,000 that involve the employment of mechanics or laborers must include a provision for compliance with 40 U.S.C. §§ 3702 and 3704, as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations at 29 C.F.R. Part 5. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II, ¶ E. c. Under 40 U.S.C. § 3702, each contractor must be required to compute the wages of every mechanic and laborer on the basis of a standard work week of 40 hours. Work in excess of the standard work week is permissible provided that the worker is compensated at a rate of not less than one and a half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in the workweek. d. The requirements of 40 U.S.C. § 3704 are applicable to construction work and provide that no laborer or mechanic must be required to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous. These requirements do not apply to the purchases of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or contracts for transportation or transmission of intelligence. e. The regulation at 29 C.F.R. § 5.5(b) provides the required contract clause concerning compliance with the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act: "Compliance with the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. (1) Overtime requirements. No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the contract work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he or she is employed on such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek. (2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this section the contractor and any subcontractor responsible therefor shall be liable for the unpaid wages. In addition, such contractor and subcontractor shall be liable to the United States (in the case of work done under contract for the District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory), for liquidated damages. Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or mechanic, including watchmen and guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this section, in the sum of $10 for each calendar day on which such individual was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek of forty hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this section. (3) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages. The (write in the name of the Federal agency or the loan or grant recipient) shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld, from any moneys payable on account of work performed by the contractor or subcontractor under any such contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally -assisted contract subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, which is held by the same prime contractor, such sums as may be determined to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such contractor or subcontractor for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as provided in the clause set forth in paragraph (2) of this section. (4) Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses set forth in paragraph (1) through (4) of this section and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with the clauses set forth in paragraphs (1) through (4) of this section." 6. Rights to Inventions Made Under a Contractor Agreement. a. Stafford Act Disaster Grants. This requirement does not a12121y to the Public Assistance, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, Fire Management Assistance Grant Program, Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Grant Program, Disaster Case Management Grant Program, and Federal Assistance to Individuals and Households — Other Needs Assistance Grant Program, as FEMA awards under these programs do not meet the definition of "funding agreement." b. If the FEMA award meets the definition of "funding agreement" under 37 C.F.R. § 401.2(a) and the non -Federal entity wishes to enter into a contract with a small business firm or nonprofit organization regarding the substitution of parties, assignment or performance of experimental, developmental, or research work under that "funding agreement," the non -Federal entity must comply with the requirements of 37 C.F.R. Part 401 (Rights to Inventions Made by Nonprofit Organizations and Small Business Firms Under Government Grants, Contracts and Cooperative Agreements), and any implementing regulations issued by FEMA. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II, ¶ F. c. The regulation at 37 C.F.R. § 401.2(a) currently defines "funding agreement" as any contract, grant, or cooperative agreement entered into between any Federal agency, other than the Tennessee Valley Authority, and any contractor for the performance of experimental, developmental, or research work funded in whole or in part by the Federal government. This term also includes any assignment, substitution of parties, or subcontract of any type entered into for the performance of experimental, developmental, or research work under a funding agreement as defined in the first sentence of this paragraph. 7. Clean Air Act and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. Contracts of amounts in excess of $150,000 must contain a provision that requires the contractor to agree to comply with all applicable standards, orders, or regulations issued pursuant to the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. §§ 7401-7671q) and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act as amended (33 U.S.C. §§ 1251- 1387). Violations must be reported to FEMA and the Regional Office of the Environmental Protection Agency. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix ll, ¶ G. a. The following provides a sample contract clause concerning compliance for contracts of amounts in excess of $150,000: "Clean Air Act § 7401 et seq. (1) The contractor agrees to comply with all applicable standards, orders or regulations issued pursuant to the Clean Air Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. (2) The contractor agrees to report each violation to the (name of the state agency or local or Indian tribal government) and understands and agrees that the (name of the state agency or local or Indian tribal government) will, in turn, report each violation as required to assure notification to the (name of recipient), Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the appropriate Environmental Protection Agency Regional Office. (3) The contractor agrees to include these requirements in each subcontract exceeding $150,000 financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance provided by FEMA. Federal Water Pollution Control Act (1) The contractor agrees to comply with all applicable standards, orders or regulations issued pursuant to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq. (2) The contractor agrees to report each violation to the (name of the state agency or local or Indian tribal government) and understands and agrees that the (name of the state agency or local or Indiantribal government) will, in turn, report each violation as required to assure notification to the (name of recipient), Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the appropriate Environmental Protection Agency Regional Office. (3) The contractor agrees to include these requirements in each subcontract exceeding $150,000 financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance provided by FEMA." 8. Debarment and Suspension. a. Applicability: -This requirement applies to all FEMA grant and cooperative agreement programs. b. Non-federal entities and contractors are subject to the debarment and suspension regulations implementing Executive Order 12549, Debarment and Suspension (1986) and Executive Order 12689, Debarment and Suspension (1989) at 2 C.F.R. Part 180 and the Department of Homeland Security's regulations at 2 C.F.R. Part 3000 (Non procurement Debarment and Suspension). c. These regulations restrict awards, subawards, and contracts with certain parties that are debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded from or ineligible for participation in Federal assistance programs and activities. See 2 C.F.R. Part200, Appendix II, ¶ H; and Procurement Guidance for Recipients and Subrecipients Under 2 C.F.R. Part 200 (Uniform Rules): Supplement to the Public Assistance Procurement Disaster Assistance Team (PDAT) Field Manual Chapter IV, ¶ 6.d, and Appendix C, ¶ 2 [hereinafter PDAT Supplement]. A contract award must not be made to parties listed in the SAM Exclusions. SAM Exclusions is the list maintained by the General Services Administration that contains the names of parties debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded by agencies, as well as parties declared ineligible under statutory or regulatory authority other than Executive Order 12549. SAM exclusions can be accessed at www.sam.gov. See 2 C.F.R. § 180.530; PDAT Supplement, Chapter IV, ¶ 6.d and Appendix C, ¶ 2. d. In general, an "excluded" party cannot receive a Federal grant award or a contract within the meaning of a "covered transaction," to include subawards and subcontracts. This includes parties that receive Federal funding indirectly, such as contractors to recipients and subrecipients. The key to the exclusion is whether there is a "covered transaction," which is any non -procurement transaction (unless excepted) at either a "primary" or "secondary" tier. Although "covered transactions" do not include contracts awarded by the Federal Government for purposes of the non -procurement common rule and DHS's implementing regulations, it does include some contracts awarded by recipients and subrecipient. e. Specifically, a covered transaction includes the following contracts for goods or services: (1) The contract is awarded by a recipient or subrecipient in the amount of at least $25,000. (2) The contract requires the approval of FEMA, regardless of amount. (3) The contract is for federally required audit services. (4) A subcontract is also a covered transaction if it is awarded by the contractor of a recipient or subrecipient and requires either the approval of FEMA or is in excess of $25,000. d. The following provides a debarment and suspension clause. It incorporates an optional method of verifying that contractors are not excluded or disqualified: "Suspension and Debarment (1) This contract is a covered transaction for purposes of 2 C.F.R. pt. 180 and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000. As such the contractor is required to verify that none of the contractor, its principals (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.995), or its affiliates (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.905) are excluded (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.940) or disqualified (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.935). (2) The contractor must comply with 2 C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000, subpart C and must include a requirement to comply with these regulations in any lower tier covered transaction it enters into. (3) This certification is a material representation of fact relied upon by (insert name of subrecipient). If it is later determined that the contractor did not comply with 2 C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000, subpart C, in addition to remedies available to (name of state agency serving as recipient and name of subrecipient), the Federal Government may pursue available remedies, including but not limited to suspension and/or debarment. (4) The bidder or proposer agrees to comply with the requirements of 2 C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000, subpart C while this offer is valid and throughout the period of any contract that may arise from this offer. The bidder or proposer further agrees to include a provision requiring such compliance in its lower tier covered transactions." 9. Byrd Anti -Lobbying Amendment. a. Applicability: This requirement applies to all FEMA grant and cooperative agreement programs. b. Contractors that apply or bid for an award of $100,000 or more must file the required certification. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II, ¶ I; 44 C.F.R. Part 18; PDAT Supplement, Chapter IV, 6.c; Appendix C, ¶ 4. c. Each tier certifies to the tier above that it will not and has not used Federal appropriated funds to pay any person or organization for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a member of Congress, officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a member of Congress in connection with obtaining any Federal contract, grant or any other award covered by 31 U.S.C. § 1352. Each tier must also disclose any lobbying with non -Federal funds that takes place in connection with obtaining any Federal award. Such disclosures are forwarded from tier to tier up to the non -Federal award. See PDAT Supplement, Chapter IV, ¶ 6.c and Appendix C, ¶ 4. d. The following provides a Byrd Anti -Lobbying contract clause: "Bvrd Anti-Lobbvina Amendment. 31 U.S.C. F4 1352 (as amended Contractors who apply or bid for an award of $100,000 or more shall file the required certification.

Operating in more than 80 countries, employing more than 77,000 employees with over $15 Billion dollars in sales in 2018, makes us one of the premier companies in the world. Northern Safety and the Wurth Group had very similar beginnings, with the founder of Northern Safety starting the business delivering supplies out of the back of a pick up truck in 1983, and Reinhold Wurth taking over the business his father created in the 1950's with two employees. Our similar drives to provide a strong future -oriented product strategy, serving our customers with a high level of service and a strong company culture of valuing our employees made the transition into the Wurth Group seamless. Today, as one of the prominent MRO companies in the world, we want to bring our world class service to the Region 4 ESC and OMNIA family of Public Participating Agencies to help them do more with less. B. Total number and location of sales persons employed by Supplier. As mentioned previously, the Wurth Group employs over 77,000 employees. 33,000 of these make up our global sales force.

Northern Safety & Industrial Company, Inc. Environmental Initiatives and Sustainability Guidelines & Initiatives We follow with close adherence, all local, state, and federal guidelines for disposing of any equipment, trash, or oils. As a commitment to doing our part to preserve and protect our planet, we have adopted the following Environmental Mission Statement and philosophy: We are dedicated to contributing to a sustainable future for our planet through our commitment to the 3 "R"s: • Reduce consumption, waste and pollution • Reuse what we have • Recycle everything we can We are very conscientious at conserving energy, water and other natural resources. We also maintain compliance with all environmental regulations. Northern Safety always strives to buy, sell and use environmentally friendly products. Over the past year, we've increased recycling, switched all packaging to be more environmental friendly and dramatically reduced water bottle usage (70% reduction) by placing water coolers throughout our facilities. We have updated our facility lighting as well as our heating and cooling systems to be more efficient and green. In addition, we have and continue to implement programs to reduce waste where ever we can. We recycle all paper, cardboard, shrink-wrap, lunch room plastic, computer equipment, batteries, etc. to improve the environment. Our Product Development Management team works closely with our manufactures and suppliers to encourage "Green" manufacturing practices as well as the development of new "Green" products. Our President, Neil Sexton, 2reenneil(a)northernsafety.com (or "Green Neil" as he's referred to) actively solicits feedback and suggestions from both our customers and associates regarding ways we can contribute to keeping our planet green. Northern Safety & Industrial is committed to business practices that become ever more sustainable. We believe "Together we can make a difference..." On top of our focus of operating in a Green environment, NSI also provides customers with the products they need to keep their businesses running over the long term. We work to understand how the products affect the environment. Our customers increasingly request environmentally preferable products (EPP). In order for products to be classified as environmentally preferable, it must maintain one or more environmentally preferred attributes or third -party certification. We work with all of our suppliers to know what certifications and attributes their products carry. We take the information from the manufacturers and include that environmentally friendly information in our product descriptions so OMNIA members and our other customers will have the ability to easily identify environmentally preferable products. We also have several programs available through our manufacture partners to help customers achieve their green initiatives. NSI Response to Region 4 ESG OMNIA Solicitation 19-20 1. Lighting audits — Our lighting partners can come onsite and perform a lighting audit to reduce energy consumption by switching to LED fixtures. From their findings, they are able to provide a ROI of typically two years or less, providing for several years of savings. In addition, we provide support to help identify any utility rebates applicable to LED Lighting and similar projects. 2.

Our combined service includes the waste container, outbound shipping, return shipping, recycling as well as online recycling documentation.

Describe any diversity programs or partners supplier does business with and how Participating Agencies may use diverse partners through the Master Agreement. hidicate how, if at all, pricing changes when using the diversity program. NSI currently has two programs promoting diversity. In addition, we are starting a third initiative starting in 2020 and beyond. The programs are: 1. NSI Operations Support Program 2. NSI Distributor Program 3. NSI DBE Products Program (Initiative for 2020) NSI's Operations Support Program NSI Response to Region 4 ESC/ OMNIA Solicitation 19-20 NSI's Operations Support Program responds to the need of Diverse Business Enterprises (DBEs) to be able to operate at a more fiscally responsible level by offering our products and services at discounted rates they would not otherwise qualify for including free shipping programs. The more money they can save in their operating costs, the better they can support their missions and pursue new opportunities for growth. Currently our program is limited to DBEs that support the Public Sector. NSI's Distributor Program NSI's Distributor Program responds to the corporate and government regulatory and policy requirements as to buying MRO goods and services from Diverse Business Enterprises (DBEs). Our Distributor program has helped organizations support DBE's while consolidating their MRO purchases. We provide access to our entire product offering for resales purposes to support the mission of meeting an organizations DBE procurement goals. Our Distributor Partners are the main point of contact and liaison for acquiring the needed products. NSI's Initiative for DBE Products Program NSI's initiative starting in 2020 will entail building a supplier diversity program that includes Diverse Business Enterprises (DBEs) and Small Business Enterprises (SBEs). Our initiative includes complementing our core product lines with products from DBEs and SBEs, making them available to our customer base on a national scale. Customers would be able to access these products through all of our ordering methods and distribution channels. Supplier recruitment for diverse manufacturers will begin in 2020 and will be ongoing. H. Describe any historically underutilized business certifications supplier holds and the certifying agency. This may include business enterprises such as minority and women owned, small or disadvantaged, disable veterans, etc. NSI is a large business. I. Describe how supplier differentiates itself from its competitors. Most of the large national MRO companies like NSI, Grainger, Fastenal and MSC all have similar product breadth and supply chain capabilities. We are going to have access to the same core manufacturer partners and purchase our product offering at the same tier levels, making us all fairly competitive in the market place. With that, NSI separates ourselves from our competition in four key areas which are: Company Culture, Customer's Come First, Manufacturing our own products and our Value Add Services. 1. Company Culture: NSI values all of its employees and this shows in our overall tenure across the company. Every person is an integral part of our operations and no role is more important than the other. As an employee of NSI, a person can feel confident as they come to work each day that they matter and what they do on a daily basis, regardless of the task, is an important part to keeping NSI operating to take care of our customers. At NSI, we truly are a very large family that wants to provide an environment of personal growth and quality of life outside of work. 2. Customer's First: NSI's commitment to taking care of our customers is unparalleled in the industry. We give our customers a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If things aren't exactly the way you want them, we will quickly replace an item, issue a full credit, or give you a complete refund. A customers total satisfaction is our top priority.... period. 3. Manufacturing: NSI has been manufacturing our own brand of safety products for years. These are not products that are private labeled by another company, we actually manufacture them.

Value Add Services: NSI takes great pride that we are truly that one stop shop that customers need to work toward vendor consolidation and driving down their costs to purchase. Our value-added NSI Response to Region 4 ESG OMNIA Solicitation 19-20 services helps sets us apart and aids customers in achieving that goal. For full details of our value-added services, please review Tab 5 — Value Adds for more in-depth details. Another key differentiator for NSI that benefits Region 4 ESC/ OMNIA Public Partners and sets us apart from our competition is how we will market this co-operative contract. Most of our national competitors do not actively pursue to move their current public sector customer base utilizing other contract methods to OMNIA. They instead take a stance that this contract for them holds equal importance as their other contracts. They also do not actively look to add many accounts to their Account Managers base of accounts and have them market to an existing account base — leaving little room for organic expansion for OMNIA through their sales models. They instead rely on identifying additional contacts in their existing accounts or deepening their product penetration within the account. Our approach is much different. As requested and needed for this co-operative contract to organically grow and allow OMNIA to continue their Participating Agency growth rates that they have in recent years, NSI will aggressively market this contract as our main source for public sector customers. We will heavily pursue to move our existing portfolio of public sector customers to participate with this co-operative contract as well as aggressively pursue public sector customers new to NSI. If the contract estimate based on historical sales has truly been $100 million, there is a lot of room for us to grow together considering the MRO spend in the public sector just in the agencies eligible to participate is over $68 Billion.

All Public Participating Agencies are tied to a hierarchy number assigned to the Region 4 ESC/ OMNIA contract. The hierarchy houses all pertinent contract settings including the earned contract pricing offered. The end user must identify which Public Participating Agency they are with. Once that step is completed, the pricing will automatically convert to the contract pricing. Contract pricing is also available online at our website (www.northernsafety.com) when the end user logs in. The agency must have confirmed participation and provided NSI their OMNIA membership number for contract pricing activation. To ensure they are receiving their contract pricing, they can view a product online without logging in and then log in and view the same product and see the pricing discounts activated. Should an agency ever have a question or concern regarding if they are receiving their contract pricing they can call our Sales Support Team or Account Manager to get a contract pricing quote for that item. If a discrepancy is ever found by a Public Participating Agency, or through internal pricing audits conducted on a quarterly basis, the following will occur: If the Participating Agency received a price lower than the contract pricing offered by NSI, no further action will be take. If a Participating Agency received a price higher than the contract pricing, an immediate notification will be provided to that Participating Agency as well as a credit or refund for the overpayment on that item. At the time of discovery an internal audit would occur to determine the root cause of the pricing discrepancy to prevent any further occurrences. Pricing discrepancies typically do not happen since the hierarchy settings is also tied to our quoting system, but the necessary action steps are in place should this occur.

Even though it is anticipated many Public Agencies will be able to utilize the Master Agreement without further formal solicitation, there may be circumstances where Public Agencies will issue their own solicitations. The following options are available when responding to a solicitation for Products covered under the Master Agreement. i. Respond with Master Agreement pricing (Contract Sales reported to OMNIA Partners, Public Sector). NSI Response: Read and understood. ii. If competitive conditions require pricing lower than the standard Master Agreement not -to -exceed pricing, Supplier may respond with lower pricing through the Master Agreement. If Supplier is awarded the contract, the sales are reported as Contract Sales to OMNIA Partners, Public Sector under the Master Agreement. NSI Response: Read and Understood. iii. Respond with pricing higher than Master Agreement only in the unlikely event that the Public Agency refuses to utilize Master Agreement (Contract Sales are not reported to OMNIA Partners, Public Sector). NSI Response: Read and Understood. iv. If alternative or multiple proposals are permitted, respond with pricing higher than Master Agreement, and include Master Agreement as the alternate or additional proposal. NSI Response: Read and Understood. Detail Supplier's strategies under these options when responding to a solicitation. If the additional solicitation does not call for administration fees being paid to the awarding agencies, NSI will look to respond with OMNIA Partners, Public Sector Master Agreement when feasible. It is NSI's intention to leverage the OMNIA Master Agreement as our main go -to - market strategy and not respond to local or regional RFP requests unless the products fall into a specialized category that falls outside of this category (i.e. first responder equipment & supplies).

Signature of Procurement Agent Requirements for National Cooperative Contract Page 61 DOC #4 C. 271 POLITICAL CONTRIBUTION DISCLOSURE FORM Public Agency Instructions This page provides guidance to public agencies entering into contracts with business entities that are required to file Political Contribution Disclosure forms with the agency. It is not intended to be provided to contractors. What follows are instructions on the use of form local units can provide to contractors that are required to disclose political contributions pursuant to N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.26 (P.L. 2005, c. 271, s.2). Additional information on the process is available in Local Finance Notice 2006-1 (http://www.ni.gov/dca/divisions/dlas/resources/lfns 2006.html). Please refer back to these instructions for the appropriate links, as the Local Finance Notices include links that are no longer operational. 1. The disclosure is required for all contracts in excess of $17,500 that are not awarded pursuant to a "fair and open" process (N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.7). 2. Due to the potential length of some contractor submissions, the public agency should consider allowing data to be submitted in electronic form (i.e., spreadsheet, pdf file, etc.). Submissions must be kept with the contract documents or in an appropriate computer file and be available for public access. The form is worded to accept this alternate submission. The text should be amended if electronic submission will not be allowed. 3. The submission must be received from the contractor and on file at least 10 days prior to award of the contract. Resolutions of award should reflect that the disclosure has been received and is on file. 4. The contractor must disclose contributions made to candidate and party committees covering a wide range of public agencies, including all public agencies that have elected officials in the county of the public agency, state legislative positions, and various state entities. The Division of Local Government Services recommends that contractors be provided a list of the affected agencies. This will assist contractors in determining the campaign and political committees of the officials and candidates affected by the disclosure. a. The Division has prepared model disclosure forms for each county. They can be downloaded from the "County PCD Forms" link on the Pay -to -Play web site at http://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/dl sg /pro rg ams/lpcl.html#12. They will be updated from time -to -time as necessary. b. A public agency using these forms should edit them to properly reflect the correct legislative district(s). As the forms are county -based, they list all legislative districts in each county. Districts that do not represent the public agency should be removed from the lists. c. Some contractors may find it easier to provide a single list that covers all contributions, regardless of the county. These submissions are appropriate and should be accepted. d. The form may be used "as -is", subject to edits as described herein. e. The "Contractor Instructions" sheet is intended to be provided with the form.
