The approved award amount is S 150,000. These funds are for the project entitled FY 19 Gulf States Regional Law Enforcement Technology Initiative. The award document,including award conditions,is enclosed. The entire document is to be reviewed carefully before any decision to accept the award. Also,the webpage entitled"Legal Notices:Special circumstances as to particular award conditions"(ojp.gov/funding/Explore/LegalNotices-AwardRegts.htm)is to be consulted prior to an acceptance. Through that "Legal Notices"webpage,OJP sets out--by funding opportunity--certain special circumstances that may or will affect the applicability of one or more award requirements. Any such legal notice pertaining to award requirements that is posted through that webpage is incorporated by reference into the award. Please note that award requirements include not only award conditions,but also compliance with assurances and certifications that relate to conduct during the period of performance for the award. Because these requirements encompass financial, administrative,and programmatic matters,as well as other important matters(e.g.,specific restrictions on use of funds),it is vital that all key staff know the award requirements,and receive the award conditions and the assurances and certifications,as well as the application as approved by OJP. (Information on all pertinent award requirements also must be provided to any subrecipient of the award.) Should City of Fort Worth accept the award and then fail to comply with an award requirement,DOJ will pursue appropriate remedies for non-compliance,which may include termination of the award and/or a requirement to repay award funds. Please direct questions regarding this award as follows: -For program questions,contact Tahitia M.Barringer,Program Manager at(202)616-8241;and -For financial questions,contact the Customer Service Center of OJP's Office of the Chief Financial Officer at (800)458-0786,or at ask.ocfo@usdoj.gov.

The Office for Civil Rights(OCR),Office of Justice Programs(OJP),U.S.Department of Justice(DOJ)has been delegated the responsibility for ensuring that recipients of federal financial assistance from the OJP,the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services(COPS),and the Office on Violence Against Women(OVW)are not engaged in discrimination prohibited bylaw. Several federal civil rights laws,such as Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972,require recipients of federal financial assistance to give assurances that they will comply with those laws. In addition to those civil rights laws,many grant program statutes contain nondiscrimination provisions that require compliance with them as a condition of receiving federal financial assistance. For a complete review of these civil rights laws and nondiscrimination requirements,in connection with OJP and other DOJ awards,see https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/LegalOverview/CivilRightsRequirements.htm Under the delegation of authority,the OCR investigates allegations of discrimination against recipients from individuals,entities,or groups. In addition,the OCR conducts limited compliance reviews and audits based on regulatory criteria. These reviews and audits permit the OCR to evaluate whether recipients of financial assistance from the Department are providing services in a non- discriminatory manner to their service population or have employment practices that meet equal-opportunity standards. If you are a recipient of grant awards under the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act or the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act and your agency is part of a criminal justice system,there are two additional obligations that may apply in connection with the awards: (1)complying with the regulation relating to Equal Employment Opportunity Programs(EEOPs);and(2) submitting findings of discrimination to OCR. For additional information regarding the EEOP requirement,see 28 CFR Part 42, subpart E,and for additional information regarding requirements when there is an adverse finding,see 28 C.F.R.§§42.204(c), .205(c)(5). Please submit information about any adverse finding to the OCR at the above address. We at the OCR are available to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that are associated with OJP and other DOJ grant funding. If you would like the OCR to assist you in fulfilling your organizations civil rights or nondiscrimination responsibilities as a recipient of federal financial assistance,please do not hesitate to let us know.
