Section 7.65 - Contract Term and Limitations(a) For EH Fund Applicants that do not have a current ESG or HHSP Contract, and have not been awarded ESG or HHSP funds, the Department requires evidence in the form of a certification or resolution adopted by the governing body of the Applicant specifying who is authorized to enter into a Contract on behalf of the Applicant. This certification or resolution is due to the Department no later than 90 calendar days after the award has been approved by the Board, must be received prior to execution of any Contract for EH funds, and must include: (1) Authorization to enter into a Contract for EH Fund;(2) Title of the person authorized to represent the organization and who also has signature authority to execute a Contract; and(3) Date that the certification or resolution was adopted by the governing body, which must be within 12 months of Application submission.(b) EH Fund Contracts will generally have an initial period of 12 months for fund Expenditure. A request to extend the Contract Term must evidence that the extension is necessary to provide activities required under the Contract, and provide good cause for failure to timely expend the funds. Extensions of a Contract Term are considered on a case-by-case basis and are subject to § RSA 7.4(e) of this title (relating to Amendments and Extensions of Contracts). (1) The Executive Director or his or her designee may approve an extension to the Contract Term that for up to six months from the original Contract Term.(2) Board approval is required if the Subrecipient requests to extend the Contract Term for more than six months from the original Contract Term. Extensions for greater than 12 months may not be granted.10 Tex. Admin. Code § 7.65
