Scope of Services (Attachment A) FY26 EEA Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness Program – Action Grant City of Somerville August 2025 Grantee: Name: Meg Koglin, Public Space Planner Address: 93 Highland Avenue, Somerville, 02143 Phone: [phone removed] x2556 Email: mkoglin@somervillema.gov Project Title: Blessing of the Bay Urban Heat Resilience Project Summary: The project seeks to improve local and regional urban heat resilience through the construction of a greenway at Blessing of the Bay Park in Somerville. Addressing urban heat is a core priority identified in Somerville's Climate Forward Plan. The project will build upon a community-led planning process to grow capacity and expand the park, replacing right-of-way asphalt with a shaded, low-carbon mobility route for environmental justice populations to access regional employment and transit centers at Assembly Square in Somerville and Wellington Circle in Medford. Scope: The tasks described in Attachment B will be performed according to the agreed-upon schedule and budget. Funding Distribution: Funding will be distributed by reimbursement upon completion of tasks outlined in Attachment B and submission of invoices. Costs eligible for reimbursement include all approved project costs incurred between the contract execution date and the contract termination date. Any amendments to this attachment or Attachment B must be approved by EEA prior to commencement of such activities. All grant funds must be spent according to the fiscal year breakdown below (before June 30, 2026, for FY26 funds and before June 30, 2027, for FY27 funds, as applicable). Please reference the RFR “ENV 26 MVP 01” for additional details on what is required for reimbursement and contact your MVP regional coordinator with any questions. FY26 - $243,100 FY27 - $1,124,200 To receive grant funding, the applicant must agree to the fiscal requirements of the program by providing a statement from the authorized signatory of the organization acknowledging and accepting the following: The Grantee commits to match 10% (or 0% if Grantee is approved for no match or is an MVP-recognized tribe) of the total project cost using cash or in-kind contributions (or a combination of the two);

The Grantee acknowledges that the funding under this grant will be provided on a reimbursement basis; and All matching funds provided by the Grantee or direct project partners have been approved and/or appropriated (or are in the process of being approved). Additional details: Massachusetts sales tax is not a reimbursable expense. Work done prior to the project start date (the date the contract is issued and signed by the Commonwealth’s Department Authorized Signatory) shall NOT be reimbursed. No funds will be granted for work performed after the contract termination date. For work completed before June 30, 2026, requests for reimbursement are due by July 31, 2026. For work completed between July 1, 2026 and June 30, 2027, requests for reimbursement are due by July 31, 2027. Any FY26 funds that are not spent by June 30, 2026 do not roll over to the next fiscal year and will be forfeited. As tasks are completed and deliverables are submitted to, reviewed, and approved by EEA, the Grantee must submit a Reimbursement Package (template to be provided) containing the following items: 1. A signed letter (on city or town letterhead) from the Grantee requesting reimbursement. 1. All relevant invoices, including those from subcontractors. Invoices must itemize costs consistent with the agreed-upon scope of work. Invoices must include sufficient information for EEA to determine that the services were performed and/or products were received, and that the invoiced items meet all contractual performance requirements. 2. A detailed breakdown of the required match for the task. For in-kind services, include sufficient details to demonstrate the total amounts of match contributed, and as appropriate, a list of personnel, hours worked, hourly rates, etc. 3. A short case study and a summary PowerPoint slide with project images (due at the end of the project, templates to be provided). Reimbursement Packages should be submitted as tasks are completed with the monthly progress report, and reflect work performed according to the schedule of deliverables included in the project budget. Reimbursement is generally made within 45 days after approval of a reimbursement package. Reimbursement packages are due before July 31, 2026 for FY26 funds and before July 31, 2027 for FY27 funds. EEA will retain a minimum of ten percent (10%) of awarded funds until all contract provisions are satisfied and all deliverables have been received. Progress Reporting: To help EEA stay current on work being conducted over the course of the project, the Grantee will submit a brief monthly progress report (template to be provided), due by the 30th of the month, including:

Significant activities that have occurred to show progress toward deliverables Whether a change in schedule or scope of work is anticipated Whether costs are anticipated to be overrun or underrun If additional assistance from EEA or partners is needed Invoices for work completed to date The Grantee must be in regular communication with their MVP Regional Coordinator (RC) throughout the course of the project and submit all reporting documentation to the RC. Changes in Scope, Schedule, or Budget: The Grantee shall inform their RC as soon as possible if any change in the schedule or scope (including tasks and deliverables) is needed or if the Grantee expects an underrun or overrun of the budget, so that EEA can work with the Grantee to take any necessary steps. The RC will inform the Grantee of any necessary contract amendments or if the adjustment is minor enough to only require written approval from EEA. If circumstances beyond the Grantee’s control make an extension or new split in funding between FY2 and FY2 necessary—please notify EEA no later than May 1st (so that we may discuss a potential amendment before the end of the fiscal year). These requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis and may not be approved. Regulatory Compliance Grantee agrees to comply with all applicable state, federal, and local laws and ordinances. Such compliance is a condition of this grant. Additional Terms Receipt of MVP funding shall not be considered state approval of the project for any necessary state, federal, or local permits, nor provide any indication of the project’s competitiveness for future funding phases.
