505 West Felix Street
Fort Worth,TX 76115-3405
Dear Mr.Chapa:
On behalf of Attorney General William P.Barr,it is my pleasure to inform you that the Office of Justice Programs(OJP),U.S.
Department of Justice(DOJ),has approved the application by City of Fort Worth for an award under the OJP funding
opportunity entitled"BJA FY 19 Gulf States Regional Law Enforcement Technology Assistance Initiative." 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.
We look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,

Mr.Jesus Chapa
City of Fort Worth
505 West Felix Street
Fort Worth,TX 76115-3405
Dear Mr.Chapa:
Congratulations on your recent award. 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.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS
1. Requirements of the award;remedies for non-compliance or for materially false statements
The conditions of this award are material requirements of the award. Compliance with any assurances or certifications
submitted by or on behalf of the recipient that relate to conduct during the period of performance also is a material
requirement of this award. By signing and accepting this award on behalf of the recipient,the authorized recipient
official accepts all material requirements of the award,and specifically adopts all such assurances or certifications as if
personally executed by the authorized recipient official.
Failure to comply with any one or more of these award requirements--whether a condition set out in full below,a
condition incorporated by reference below,or an assurance or certification related to conduct during the award period-
-may result in the Office of Justice Programs("OJP")taking appropriate action with respect to the recipient and the
award. Among other things,the OJP may withhold award funds,disallow costs,or suspend or terminate the award.
The U.S.Department of Justice("DOP'),including OJP,also may take other legal action as appropriate.
Any materially false,fictitious,or fraudulent statement to the federal government related to this award(or concealment
or omission of a material fact)may be the subject of criminal prosecution(including under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or 1621,
and/or 34 U.S.C. 10271-10273),and also may lead to imposition of civil penalties and administrative remedies for false
claims or otherwise(including under 31 U.S.C.3729-3730 and 3801-3812).
Should any provision of a requirement of this award be held to be invalid or unenforceable by its terms,that provision
shall first be applied with a limited construction so as to give it the maximum effect permitted by law. Should it be
held,instead,that the provision is utterly invalid or-unenforceable,such provision shall be deemed severable from this
award.
2. Applicability of Part 200 Uniform Requirements
The Uniform Administrative Requirements,Cost Principles,and Audit Requirements in 2 C.F.R.Part 200,as adopted
and supplemented by DOJ in 2 C.F.R.Part 2800(together,the"Part 200 Uniform Requirements")apply to this FY
2019 award from OJP.
The Part 200 Uniform Requirements were first adopted by DOJ on December 26,2014. If this FY 2019 award
supplements funds previously awarded by OJP under the same award number(e.g.,funds awarded during or before
December 2014),the Part 200 Uniform Requirements apply with respect to all funds under that award number
(regardless of the award date,and regardless of whether derived from the initial award or a supplemental award)that
are obligated on or after the acceptance date of this FY 2019 award.
For more information and resources on the Part 200 Uniform Requirements as they relate to OJP awards and subawards
("subgrants"),see the OJP website at https://ojp.gov/funding/Part200UniformRequirements.htm.

any tier)must provide access,include performance measurement information,in addition to the financial records,
supporting documents,statistical records,and other pertinent records indicated at 2 C.F.R 200.333.
In the event that an award-related question arises from documents or other materials prepared or distributed by OJP
that may appear to conflict with,or differ in some way from,the provisions of the Part 200 Uniform Requirements,the
recipient is to contact OJP promptly for clarification.

Subject: Categorical Exclusion for City of Fort Worth
NEPA Type: Categorical Exclusion—Awards under this program will be used to leverage state,local or tribal
subject-matter expertise.None of the following activities will be conducted whether under the Office of Justice
Programs Federal action or a related third party action:
