SECTION II. INITIAL RECOGNITION OF PRINCIPLE BY ALL PARTIES; AGREEMENT PROVIDES NO
RIGHT OF ACTION FOR THIRD PARTIES
As this is a reciprocal contract, it is recognized that any party to this Agreement may be
requested by another party to be a Provider. It is mutually understood that each party's
foremost responsibility is to its own residents. The provisions of this Agreement shall not
be construed to impose an unconditional obligation on any party to this Agreement to
provide aid and assistance pursuant to a request from another party. Accordingly, when
aid and assistance have been requested, a party may in good faith withhold the resources
necessary to provide reasonable and adequate protection for its own community, by
deeming itself unavailable to respond and so informing the party setting forth the
request.
Given the finite resources of any jurisdiction and the potential for each party to be
unavailable for aid and assistance at a given point in time, the parties mutually
encourage each other to enlist other entities in mutual aid and assistance efforts and to
enter into such agreements accordingly. Concomitantly, the parties fully recognize that
there is a highly meritorious reason for entering into this Agreement, and accordingly
shall attempt to render assistance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to
the fullest extent possible.
Pursuant to G.S. 166A-19.60 and as elaborated upon in Section X of this Agreement, all
functions and activities performed under this Agreement are hereby declared to be
governmental functions. Functions and activities performed under this Agreement are
carried out for the benefit of the general public and not for the benefit of any specific
individual or individuals. Accordingly, this Agreement shall not be construed as or
deemed to be an Agreement for the benefit of any third parties or persons and no third
parties or persons shall have any right of action under this Agreement for any cause
whatsoever. All immunities provided by law shall be fully applicable as elaborated upon
in Section X of this Agreement.

expenses for travel to and from the stricken area. Further, Recipient shall house and feed

SECTION IV. PROVIDER’S ASSESSMENT OF AVAILABILITY OF RESOURCES AND ABILITY TO RENDER
ASSISTANCE
When contacted by the Recipient/Local Emergency Management Agency, Provider's
authorized representative shall assess Provider's own local situation in order to determine
available personnel, equipment, and other resources. If Provider's authorized
representative determines that Provider has available resources, Provider's authorized
representative shall so notify the Recipient/Local Emergency Management Agency
(whichever communicated the request). Provider shall complete a written
acknowledgment, whether on the request form received from Recipient or on another
form, regarding the assistance to be rendered (or a rejection of the request) and shall
transmit it by the most efficient practical means to the Recipient/Local Emergency
Management Agency for a final response. Provider's acknowledgment shall contain the
following information:
1. In response to the items contained in the request, a description of the
personnel, equipment, and other resources available;
2. The projected length of time such personnel, equipment, and other resources will be
available to serve Recipient, particularly if the period is projected to be shorter than
one week (as provided in the "Length of Time for Aid and Assistance" section [Section
VI] of this Agreement.)
3. The estimated time when the assistance provided will arrive at the location
designated by the Authorized Representative of the Requesting Party; and
4. The name of the person(s) to be designated as Provider's supervisor (pursuant to
the "Supervision and Control" section [Section V] of this Agreement.)
Where a request has been submitted to the Local Emergency Management Agency, the
Local Emergency Management Agency shall notify Recipient's authorized representative
and forward the information from Provider. The Recipient/Local Emergency Management
Agency shall respond to Provider's written acknowledgment by signing and returning a
copy of the form to Provider by the most efficient practical means, maintaining a copy for
its file.
SECTION V. SUPERVISION AND CONTROL
Provider shall designate one of its employees sent to render aid and assistance to
Recipient as a supervisor or point of contact for equipment only missions. As soon as
DocuSign Envelope ID: A5922366-EDF8-4ABC-B5CE-EF4E617C3D6F

practicable, Recipient shall assign work tasks to Provider's supervisor, and unless
specifically instructed otherwise, Recipient shall have the responsibility for coordinating
communications between Provider's supervisor and Recipient. Recipient shall provide
necessary credentials to Provider's personnel authorizing them to operate on behalf of
Recipient.
Based upon such assignments from the Recipient, Provider's supervisor shall:
1. Have the authority to assign work and establish work schedules for Provider's
personnel. Further, supervisor shall retain direct supervision and control of Provider's
personnel, equipment, and other resources. Provider should be prepared to furnish
communications equipment sufficient to maintain communications among its respective
operating units, and if this is not possible, Provider shall notify Recipient accordingly;
2. Maintain daily personnel time records, material records, and a log of equipment hours;
3. Report work progress to Recipient at mutually agreed upon intervals.
SECTION VI. LENGTH OF TIME FOR AID AND ASSISTANCE; RENEWABILITY; RECALL
Unless otherwise provided, the duration of Provider's assistance shall be for an initial
period of seven days, starting from the time of arrival. Thereafter, assistance may be
extended in daily or weekly increments as the situation warrants, for a period agreed
upon by the authorized representatives of Provider and Recipient.
As noted in Section II of this Agreement, Provider's personnel, equipment, and other
resources shall remain subject to recall by Provider to provide for its own citizens if
circumstances so warrant. Provider shall make a good faith effort to provide at least
twenty-four (24) hours advance notification to Recipient of Provider's intent to terminate
mission, unless such notice is not practicable, in which case as much notice as is
reasonable under the circumstances shall be provided.
SECTION VII. REIMBURSEMENTS
Except as otherwise provided below, it is understood that Recipient shall pay to
Provider all documented costs and expenses incurred by Provider as a result of
extending aid and assistance to Recipient. The terms and conditions governing
reimbursement for any assistance provided under this Agreement shall be in
accordance with FEMA Public Assistance Guidelines in addition to the following
provisions, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Recipient and Provider. Recipient
shall be ultimately responsible for reimbursement of all eligible expenses. The Provider
may waive some or all requirements for reimbursement, however such an agreement

employees according to its then prevailing ordinances, rules, and regulations. Recipient

travel expenses incurred during the period of assistance, including, but not limited to,

general policies for determining allowable costs which are established in 2 CFR 200,
subpart E or other applicable federal laws, regulations, and policies as may be in effect at
the time the expenses are incurred. Exceptions to those policies as allowed in 2 CFR 200,

federal laws, regulations, and policies as may be in effect at the time the expenses are

its on-site supervisor(s) to maintain such equipment in safe and operational condition.
At the request of Provider, fuels, miscellaneous supplies, and minor repairs may be
provided by Recipient, if practical. The total equipment charges to Recipient shall be
reduced by the total value of the fuels, supplies, and repairs furnished by Recipient and
by the amount of any insurance proceeds received by Provider.
C. Materials And Supplies—Recipient shall reimburse Provider for all materials and
supplies furnished and that are used or damaged by Recipient during the period of
assistance, except for the costs of equipment, fuel and maintenance materials, labor, and
supplies, which shall be included in the equipment rate established in subsection B of this
section (Section VII), Recipient will not be responsible for costs where such damage is
caused by gross negligence, willful and wanton misconduct, intentional misuse, or
recklessness of Provider's personnel. Provider's personnel shall use reasonable care
under the circumstances in the operation and control of all materials and supplies used
during the period of assistance. The measure of reimbursement shall be determined in
accordance with general policies for determining allowable costs which are established
in 2 CFR 200, subpart E or other applicable federal laws, regulations, and policies as may
be in effect at the time the expenses are incurred. Exceptions to those policies as allowed
in 2 CFR 200, subpart E and 2 CFR 200.102 are explained in 44 C.F.R. 206.228 or other
applicable federal laws, regulations, and policies as may be in effect at the time the
expenses are incurred. In the alternative, the parties may agree that Recipient will
replace, with like kind and quality as determined by Provider, Provider’s materials and
supplies used or damaged in a reasonable time. If such an agreement is made, it shall be
reduced to writing and transmitted to the North Carolina Division of Emergency
Management.

policies as may be in effect at the time the expenses are incurred. Recipient shall pay
the bill or advise of any disputed items, not later than sixty (60) days following the
billing date. These time frames may be modified in writing signed by both parties by
mutual agreement. This shall not preclude Provider or Recipient from assuming or
donating, in whole or in part, the costs and expenses associated with any loss, damage,
or use of personnel, equipment, and resources provided to Recipient.
F. Contracting – If recipient or provider contracts with a third party to perform any aid
or assistance under the provisions of this agreement, then the entity shall follow any
