Exhibit 14A: List of Subcontractors – Instructions <br />Version 2016 <br />List each subcontractor in the chart below. For the purpose of Subcontractor Monitoring, a subcontractor is defined as an entity that has <br />been contracted to do a job within the scope of the service provider’s HCCBG grant award. The subcontractor is accountable f or the same <br />requirements as the service provider, depending on the terms of the sub contract. Subcontractors must adhere to service standard <br />requirements by the Division of Aging and Adult Services. <br />Do not list vendors that provide services through a “purchase of service.” These are services which do not follow prescribed service <br />standards and are goods or services sold equally to all consumers. <br />Here are some service-specific examples to illustrate whether or not a subcontractor should be listed on Exhibit 14A. <br /> <br />Service SUBCONTRACT OR PURCHASE OF SERVICE? <br />In-Home Aide If a human service agency (provider) receives the IHA allocation and contracts with a home health or home care <br />agency, it is a subcontract and not a purchase of service. Even if the subcontract only delegates just the tasks <br />on a plan of care for clients, the agency is still a subcontractor because grant requirements (service standards) <br />related to service delivery must be met as part of the scope of work. An example would be the aide <br />competency and supervision requirements in the standards that are often o utsourced to the home health or <br />home care agency that employs the aides. <br />Nutrition Subcontracts with commercial kitchens or restaurants to prepare meals are never just “purchase of service” <br />arrangements because there are grant requirements that must be m et as part of the caterer’s scope of work <br />(e.g., approved menus, protocols for menu substitutions, documentation requirements for end of preparation <br />time, documentation of each food item delivered, daily sanitizing of food delivery carriers by the food ser vice <br />provider, etc.). <br />A contract between the HCCBG nutrition provider and a local dairy to deliver pints of milk once a week is just a <br />purchase of goods and services and would not need to be listed because those pints of milk could be bought at <br />any store. A purchase of service is when goods and/or services are sold to all purchasers without special <br />conditions or requirements related to the grant. <br />Adult Day Services <br />(Adult Day Care, Adult <br />Day Health or <br />ADC/ADH Combination <br />Programs) <br />A human service agency that receives the allocation and contracts with an ADC/ADH center to provide services <br />has a subcontract, not a purchase of service, because there are grant requirements that must be met as part of <br />the center’s scope of work. <br />An ADC/ADH center that provides services directly, but also contracts with another ADC/ADH center to provide <br />adult day services has a subcontract with that center. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 876C92A1-FFCC-4CCE-9133-469A78CE1DCA
