To accomplish the objectives of the DEA West Palm Beach Task Force, the TPD agrees to detail (1) experienced officer to the DEA West Palm Beach Task Force for a period of not less than two years. During this period of assignment, the TPD officer will be under the direct supervision and control of DEA supervisory personnel assigned to the Task Force. 3.

Note: Task Force Officer's overtime "shall not include any costs for benefits, such as retirement, FICA, and other expenses." 7. In no event will the TPD charge any indirect cost rate to DEA for the administration or implementation of this agreement. 8. The TPD shall maintain on a current basis complete and accurate records and accounts of all obligations and expenditures of funds under this agreement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and instructions provided by DEA to facilitate on -site inspection and auditing of such records and accounts. 9. The TPD shall permit and have readily available for examination and auditing by DEA, the United States Department of Justice, the Comptroller General of the United States, and any of their duly authorized agents and representatives, any and all records, documents, accounts, invoices, receipts or expenditures relating to this agreement. The TPD shall maintain all such reports and records until all audits and examinations are completed and resolved, or for a period of six (6) years after termination of this agreement, whichever is sooner. 10. The TPD shall comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, as amended, and all requirements imposed by or pursuant to the regulations of the United States Department of Justice implementing those laws, 28 C.F.R. Part 42, Subparts C, F, G, H and 1. 11. The TPD agrees that an authorized officer or employee will execute and return to DEA the attached OJP Form 4061/6, Certification Regarding Lobbying; Department, Suspension and Other Responsibility Matters; and Drug -Free Workplace Requirements. The TPD acknowledges that this agreement will not take effect and no Federal funds will be awarded to the TPD by DEA until the completed certification is received. 12. When issuing statements, press releases, requests for proposals, bid solicitations, and other documents describing projects or programs funded in whole or in part with Federal money, the TPD shall clearly state: (1) the percentage of the total cost of the program or project which will be financed with Federal money and (2) the dollar amount of Federal funds for the project or program. 2 13. The term of this agreement shall be effective from the date in paragraph number one until September 30, 2026. This agreement may be terminated by either party on thirty days' advance written notice.
