Subgrantee Responsibilities

The standards contained in this section do not relieve the subgrantee of the contractual responsibilities arising under its contract(s). The subgrantee is the responsible authority, without recourse to the State, regarding the settlement and satisfaction of all contractual and administrative issues arising out of procurements entered into in support of an award or other agreement. This includes disputes, claims, protests of award, source evaluation or other matters of a contractual nature, as well as civil liability arising out of negligence or intentional misconduct of the subcontractor(s). Matters concerning violation of statute are to be referred to the federal, state or local authority that may have proper jurisdiction.
