Perceived Conflict of Interest A perceived conflict of interest is any situation in which a reasonable third party would conclude that conflicting duties or loyalties exist. A disclosed perceived conflict of interest warrants additional discussion in order to identify the nature of the relationship, affiliation, or other interest and take action to mitigate any potential conflicts. Organizational Conflict of Interest A conflict of interest can also occur with an organization that is a grant applicant or grantee of a state agency. Organizational conflicts of interest occur when: • A grantee is unable or potentially unable to render impartial assistance or advice to the State due to competing duties or loyalties • A grantee's objectivity in carrying out the grant is or might be otherwise impaired due to competing duties or loyalties • A grantee or potential grantee has an unfair competitive advantage through being furnished unauthorized proprietary information or source selection information that is not available to all competitors. The Grantee, by signing a grant contract with the State, must certify it has read and understands the Office of Grants Management Conflict of Interest Policy 08-01, will maintain an adequate Conflict of Interest Policy and, throughout the term of the contract, monitor and report any actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interests to the State. CLOSEOUT PROCEDURES Upon completion of your project, a final billing must be submitted to our office. Program staff will complete a final inspection of all development and/or redevelopment projects. The inspection will focus on ensuring that the project was completed in accordance with the grant agreement, that facilities developed are accessible and a funding acknowledgment sign is installed. Prior to final reimbursement of your grant and official closeout notification of your project, any problems that are revealed during the inspection must be corrected and a copy of the recorded deed restriction received. All expenditures are subject to verification by an independent state audit and, therefore, you must retain all project records for a period of at least six years after you receive the official closeout notification letter. Periodic post -completion inspections will be conducted to ensure that the site is being properly operated and maintained and that no conversion of use has occurred. ACKNOWLEDGMENT SIGN All projects acquired or developed with assistance from this program must display a state approved funding acknowledgment sign at the main entrance to the park. The grant program staff will provide the specific sign information. NS November 2020 11
