If Agency fails to maintain all records and documentation as required in Section 8,
or if the records maintained or reports submitted or documentation is not in compliance
with this Contract or the CDBG Regulations as determined by City in its sole discretion,
City will notify Agency in writing and Agency will have 30 calendar days from the date of

expressly noted as surviving the term or termination of the Contract. No delay or omission
by City in exercising any right or remedy available to it under this Contract shall impair
any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver or acquiescence in any Agency default.
10.7 Waiver of Breach Not Waiver of Subsequent Breach.
The waiver of a default or breach of any term, covenant, or condition of this
Contract shall not operate as a waiver of any subsequent default or breach of the same or

administrative penalties, including, but not limited to those set out in this Contract.

10.10 Termination for Convenience.
CDBG-CV 51% PSA CONTRACT 22-23 Page 17
Tarrant Area Food Bank Rev. 06/18/2020
In terminating in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200, Appendix II, this Contract may
be terminated in whole or in part only as follows:
10.10.1 By City with the consent of Agency in which case the Parties shall agree
upon the termination conditions, including the effective date and in the case of partial
termination, the portion to be terminated; or
10.10.2 By Agency upon at least 30 days written notification to City, setting
forth the reasons for such termination, the effective date, and in the case of partial
termination, the portion to be terminated. In the case of a partial termination, City may
terminate the Contract in its entirety if City determines in its sole discretion that the
remaining portion of the Contract to be performed or CDBG-CV Funds to be spent will not
accomplish the purposes for which the Contract was made.
10.11 Dissolution of ALencv Terminates Contract.
This Contract shall terminate in the event Agency is dissolved or ceases to exist.
In the event of termination under this Section, all CDBG-CV Funds are subject to
repayment and/or City may exercise all of its remedies under this Contract.
10.12 Reversion of Assets.
In the event this Contract is terminated with or without cause, all assets acquired
by Agency with the CDBG-CV Funds including cash, interest payments from loans or
otherwise, all outstanding notes, mortgages or other security instruments, any accounts
receivable attributable to the use of the CDBG-CV Funds, and any real or personal property
owned by Agency that was improved with the CDBG-CV Funds shall automatically
transfer to City or to such assignee as City may designate.
11. REPAYMENT OF CDBG-CV FUNDS.
All CDBG-CV Funds are subject to repayment in the event the Program does not
meet the requirements of this Contract or in the CDBG Regulations. If Agency takes any
action that results in the City being required to repay all or any portion of the CDBG-
CV Funds to HUD, Agency agrees it will reimburse City for such repayment. If
Agency takes any action that results in City receiving a finding from HUD about the
Program, whether or not repayment of all or any portion of the CDBG-CV Funds is
required of City, Agency agrees City may require that 10% of the CDBG-CV Funds
be repaid to City as liquidated damages. The Parties agree that City's damages in the
event of either repayment to HUD being required or receiving a finding from HUD are
uncertain and would be difficult to ascertain and may include an impact on City's CDBG
grant or other federal grant funds, in addition to the finding by HUD or a required
repayment of funds to HUD by City. Therefore, the Parties agree that payment under this
Section of 10% of the CDBG-CV Funds by Agency to City is liquidated damages and not
a penalty.
12. CHANGE IN NON-PROFIT STATUS.
CDBG-CV 51% PSA CONTRACT 22-23 Page 18
Tarrant Area Food Bank Rev. 06/18/2020

status within 15 calendar days of being notified of the change. Regardless of notice by
Agency, if the non-profit status of Agency changes after the date of this Contract, City may
but is not obligated to, terminate this Contract. In the event of termination under this
Section 12, all CDBG-CV Funds awarded but not yet paid to Agency pursuant to this
Contract shall be immediately rescinded and Agency shall have no further right to such
funds. City, in its sole discretion, may require that any CDBG-CV Funds already paid to
Agency must be repaid to City within 30 calendar days of termination under this Section.
13. SURVIVAL.
Any provision of this Contract that pertains to auditing, monitoring, client income
eligibility, record keeping and reports, City ordinances, or applicable CDBG requirements,
and any default and enforcement provisions necessary to enforce such provisions, shall
survive the termination of this Contract for 5 years after the Contract term ends and shall
be enforceable by City against Agency. For purposes of this Contract, this 5 year period
for survival of certain Contract provisions is deemed to begin on the date after the final
date of the full eighteen month contract term and end on the date five full years after that
date regardless of whether or not this Contract is earlier terminated.

The conflict of interest provisions of 2 CFR Part 200.318 shall apply in the
procurement of property and services by Agency. In all cases not governed by this Section,
the provisions of 24 CFR Part 570.611 of the CDBG Regulations shall apply.
14.14.3.1 As more particularly described in 2 CFR Part 200.318,
Agency shall maintain and submit to City written standards
of conduct covering conflicts of interest and governing the
performance of its employees engaged in the selection,
award, and administration of contracts. No employee,
officer, or agent may participate in the selection, award, or
administration of a contract supported by a federal award if
he or she has a real or apparent conflict of interest. The
standards of conduct must provide for disciplinary actions to
be applied for violations of such standards by officers,
employees, or agents of Agency.
14.14.3.2 The officers, employees, and agents of Agency shall neither
solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary
value from contractors or parties to subcontracts.
14.14.3.3 Notwithstanding the prohibition contained in Section
14.14.3.2, Agency may set standards of conduct for
situations in which the financial interest is not substantial or
the gift is an unsolicited item of nominal value. Such
standards of conduct must provide for disciplinary actions to
be applied for violations of such standards by Agency's
officers, employees or agents.
14.14.3.4 Agency shall maintain written standards of conduct covering
organizational conflicts of interest. Organizational conflicts
of interest means that because of relationships with a parent
company, affiliate, or subsidiary organization, Agency is
unable or appears to be unable to be impartial in conducting
a procurement action involving a related organization.
14.14.3.5 Agency must maintain records sufficient to detail the history
of procurement. These records will include, but are not
necessarily limited to the following: rationale for the method
of procurement, selection of contract type, contractor
selection or rejection, and the basis for the contract price.

14.15.1 For procurement contracts $50,000.00 or larger that are paid for, in part

affirmative steps must be taken to assure that DBEs, SBEs, MBEs, and WBEs are utilized
when possible as sources of supplies, equipment, construction and services.
14.15.2.1 In order to comply with federal reporting requirements 24
CFR Part 570.506 (g)(6), Agency must submit the form
attached hereto as EXHIBIT "I" — MBE Reporting Form

PROGRAM:
The Program will provide mobile food bank and SNAP (food stamps) enrollment assistance to low -to -
moderate income individuals and families within target low- and moderate -income neighborhoods in Fort
Worth (see Exhibit A -I target area map). The goal of the program is to reduce the negative impact of food
deserts by increasing access to fresh produce and basic food items not readily available in target communities
in Fort Worth. The program will also improve sustainability of access to healthy food by ensuring application
assistance for state/federal programs. The Program responds to the COVID-19 Pandemic by reducing the
need of vulnerable populations to go to grocery stores or other public places where COVJD-19 spread is
common. Locations in the target area have demonstrated high incidence of obesity and similar risk factors
for COVID-19. These services will include application assistance in completing the state application for
Special Needs Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program,
Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), and Medicaid for
Employed People with Disabilities (MEPD) programs and provide referrals for other support programs. The
program will also provide emergency food boxes, including fresh produce as available, and provide nutrition
education in the targeted areas. Staff for the program will ensure that required documentation is complete,
including proof of income, state identification, and proof of address, to confirm eligibility.
CDBG funds will be used to pay for the two-year operational and support costs associated with the Resources
and Education Delivered (RED) Bus's operations within low- and moderate -income areas in the City of Fort
Worth. The RED Bus mobile unit and Program services will be available at a minimum of 9 days per month
in the target communities throughout the two-year contract term.
Agency shall not change target service areas for the program without prior City approval and contract
amendment (which may require revisions to reporting requirements). Costs incurred at any locations that
have not been approved by City shall not be reimbursed.
REGULATORY CLASSIFICATION:
IDIS Matrix Code(s) and Service Category: 5 Public Services
National Objective Citation: 24 CFR 570.208(a)(1)
Regulatory Citation(s): 24 CFR 570.201(e)
PROGRAM GOALS:
Minimum Number of Fort Worth Clients to be Served: The Program will enroll a minimum of
1,200 Unduplicated Clients annually from Fort Worth as shown by the Monthly Performance
Report, and 2,400 for the 2-year term of the contract, into the applicable public nutritional service

DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to reallocate available
unprogrammed CDBG-CV funds to provide additional funding for a targeted food assistance program.
The COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing economic crisis has disproportionately affected communities of
color and the poor, worsening already poor health outcomes. Feeding America, the national
association of food banks, has indicated that the percent of Tarrant County residents who are food
insecure has risen from 13.9\% to 17.5\% during the pandemic.
Tarrant Area Food Bank (TAFB) is renewing its focus on underserved communities within the City of
Fort Worth and is working on strategies to make a long-term impact in these neighborhoods. In a
concerted effort to address food insecurity and the number of identified food deserts within Tarrant
County and Fort Worth, in particular, TAFB has a partnership with the City of Fort Worth to serve the
most impacted communities, including neighborhoods in the following zip codes: 76104, 76105,
76106, 76107, 76116, and 76119. The services of TAFB are a critical first step in positioning families
for success. Access to healthy, nutritious food is a basic need that must be paramount in the quest to
alleviate poverty and transform the lives of Fort Worth's most vulnerable residents. The Resources
and Education Delivered (RED) Bus Program has played a critical role in TAFB's efforts to remediate
these effects.
The RED Bus Program takes the food bank's service directly to those most in need. At the heart of
the program is a mobile service delivery unit - a specialty built vehicle, which provides space for the
display of grocery items and office space for staff. Utilizing this vehicle, TAFB has provided (1)
emergency food distribution; (2) nutrition education; and (3) assistance for enrollment of eligible
families into federal benefits programs such as SNAP, TANF, CHIP and Medicaid. TAFB has been
