Common use of MULTIPLE SPONSORS Clause in Contracts

MULTIPLE SPONSORS. A. No division of responsibilities between or among multiple sponsors in agreement. 1. Modify first paragraph to include name of each entity serving as a sponsor. (Example: … Magoffin County Fiscal Court represented by the Magoffin County Judge and the City of Salyersville, Kentucky represented by its Mayor (hereinafter the “Non-Federal Sponsors”)) 2. Change “Non-Federal Sponsor” to “Non-Federal Sponsors” throughout the agreement. There are several paragraphs where this change will require additional grammatical changes immediately following the phrase “Non-Federal Sponsors” to reflect multiple sponsors (i.e. “its” to “their” or “assumes” to “assume”, etc.). B. Division of responsibilities between or among multiple sponsors required in agreement. - While it is preferred to have only one sponsor or, when multiple sponsors are necessary, to designate them collectively as “Non-Federal Sponsors” (see paragraph A. of this note), we do recognize there are instances where there are two or more entities serving as the sponsors for the project and there is a need for a division of responsibilities between or among them in the body of the agreement (such as - one sponsor can only provide the LERR and the other sponsor performs all other responsibilities). It is important that each obligation in the agreement is reviewed and assigned to the appropriate party and that all obligations of the agreement are addressed. We have found that modifying an agreement to address a division of responsibilities can be very cumbersome and it offers many opportunities for inadvertent omissions. Therefore, at a minimum, the division of responsibilities in the drafted agreement for your project must be coordinated with the vertical team (PDT, MSC, HQ, and, if necessary OASA(CW)) to ensure that the proposed division of obligations is acceptable and that all obligations are addressed. The changes outlined in paragraphs B.1., B.2., and C. of this note are required for multiple sponsors where such approach was documented fully in the approved decision document or otherwise was approved in writing by the HQ RIT. When so approved, such changes to address multiple sponsors are not considered deviations from the model. 1. Modify first paragraph to identify each entity separately using the identifier preferred by the sponsor (see note 5) and then collectively as the “Non-Federal Sponsors”. (Example: … The State of California (hereinafter the “State”), represented by the President of The Reclamation Board, and the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (hereinafter “SAFCA”) represented by its Chair of the Board (the State and SAFCA when referred to collectively are referred to as the “Non-Federal Sponsors”)) 2. Review each occurrence of “Non-Federal Sponsor” and change it to the identifier for the sponsor that will be responsible for that obligation. If all sponsors collectively will be responsible for an obligation, then change “Non-Federal Sponsor” to “Non-Federal Sponsors”. There are several paragraphs where this change will require additional grammatical changes immediately following the phrase “Non-Federal Sponsors” to reflect multiple sponsors (i.e. “its” to “their” or “assumes” to “assume”, etc.). C. The changes below are required for all agreements with multiple sponsors, regardless of whether you followed paragraph A. or B. above. These changes are not considered deviations from the model. 1. Modify title to include name of each entity serving as a sponsor. 2. On the signature page, a separate signature block will be required for each entity serving as a sponsor. 3. A separate Certificate of Authority will be required for each entity serving as a sponsor.
