r raffic Safety
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between the Washington Traffic Safety Commission,
hereinafter referred to as "WTSC," and PASCO POLICE DEPARTMENT . hereinafter referred to as
"SUB-RECIPIENT."
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms, conditions, covenants, and performance contained
herein, or attached and incorporated and made a part hereof, the Parties mutually agree as follows:
1. PURPOSE OF THE AGREEMENT
The pwpose of this Agreement is to provide funding, provided by the United States Department of
Transportation (USDOT) National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and allowed under the
Assistance Listings Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) numbers 20.600 and 20.616, for the
SUB-RECIPIENT to participate in traffic safety grant project 2020-HVE-3774-Washington Traffic Safety
Commission, specifically to provide funding for the SUB-RECIPIENT to conduct overtime high-visibility
enforcement (HVE) traffic safety emphasis patrols and related activities as outlined in the Statement of Work
(SOW), in support of Target Zero priorities.
Grant 2020-HVE-3774-Washington Traffic Safety Commission was awarded to the Region 14 traffic
safety task force to support collaborative efforts to conduct overtime BVE activities. By signing this
agreement, the SUB-RECIPIBNT is able to seek reimbursement for approved overtime expenses incurred as
a participant in the region's HVE grant.
The Target Zero Manager (TZM) and/or the Law Enforcement Liaison (LEL) shall coordinate the SOW with
the SUB-RECIPIENT with the goal of reducing traffic-related deaths and serious injuries.
2. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE
The period of performance of this Agreement shall commence upon the date of execution by both Parties,
but not earlier than October I, 2019, and remain in effect until September 30, 2020, unless terminated
sooner, as provided herein.
3. STATEMENT OF WORK
Note: This statement of work applies only to HVE emphasis areas for which your region has received HVE
funding.
, I
GOAL: To reduce traffic related deaths and serious injuries through education of impaired driving, occupant
protection, speeding and distracted driving multijurisdictional HVE patrols throughout the state.
SCOPE OF WORK:
High Visibility Enforcement (HYE) is a proven strategy to reduce vehicular fatalities in serious injuries.
There are 8 main components in the best practice model. The WTSC recommends following this model in
order to most effectively use this funding.
1. The event is planned by a local team
2. The event is data driven. Interest in the event originates by local recognition of a problem and the
community's interest in responding to it.
3. The enforcement is multijurisdictional and uses a saturation approach and participating officers make
a large number of contacts during the event and issue infractions or citations to change public
behavior around risky driving behaviors such as speeding, distracted driving and failing to use a
seatbelt. The WTSC proposes that the default law enforcement response to a high risk driving
behavior during an HYE event should be a citation/infraction.
4. The public is aware of the event before, during, and after the enforcement takes place. It's important
to note that these messages must reach all target audiences, regardless of English proficiency in the
community who use the transportation system.
5. Local media are engaged by the HYE planning team
6. Enforcement is highly visible -clearly more than a typical day.
7. The HVE event is evaluated
8. The HYE event is supported by deployment of resources in the priority areas throughout the year
when HVE is not being implemented.
The SUB-RECIPIENT, along with the regional traffic safety task force, TZM, and LEL, are responsible for
meeting these elements of HYE. The WTSC will conduct public education campaigns during national
campaigns, but it is the responsibility of the SUB-RECIPIENT and task force to ensure that all elements of
HYE are being met.
The statewide high visibility enforcement patrols are paired with media participation to engage, deter, and
educate drivers about the impacts of making unsafe decisions when driving. Outreach efforts are supported
by the WTSC during statewide HYE campaigns. Regional TZMs also support public outreach efforts during
locally planned HYE events. Below are descriptions of the Scope of Work for each funding category. The
WTSC accepts requests for modifications to the Scope of Work through the regional Target Zero Manager.
This grant provides funding for overtime HYE enforcement in a variety of emphasis areas: impaired driving,
distracted driving, seat belt use, and motorcycle safety patrols.
Dispatch:
WTSC will reimburse communications officers/dispatch personnel for work on this project providing
Agency has received prior approval from the designated TZM. This activity must be overtime and only the
expenses listed in section 3 .2 and its subsections will be reimbursed.
Enforcement Standard:
WTSC proposes that during enforcement, the default response of officers observing driving behaviors that
contribute to serious injury and fatal collisions is the issuance of a citation or infraction. WTSC recognizes
the need and value of officer discretion. While WTSC does not suggest mandatory enforcement on every
contact, the goal of any enforcement activity is behavior modification.
HVE Enforcement Plan Requirement:
A HVE Mobilization Plan is required prior to all HVE activity. The local traffic safety task force and TZM
are responsible for submitting this form to the WTSC HVE Program Manager prior to enforcement activities
begin . This form serves as prior approval for HVE events and includes the following information:
• Problem Statement
• Description of enforcement strategy, including expected law enforcement agencies participating in
the event, target violation, and target locations
• Public outreach strategy, to include how the multiple cultural groups in a community will be reached
with these messages.
• Evaluation plan
Media Contacts:
All of these patrols are conducted as part of a highly publicized, educational effort. Publicity campaigns
about these patrols are planned to alert the public to the fact that extra patrols are targeting these violations.
The WTSC requests that the SUB-RECIPIENT posts traffic safety information to their web-based platfonns
during statewide and locally coordinated HVE mobilizations. At least one individual from the SUB-
RECIPIENT must be available for weekend media contacts, beginning at noon on Fridays before
mobilizations.
Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) Training Requirement:
The SUB-RECIPIENT certifies that all officers participating in these patrols are SFST trained. WTSC's
expectation is that each participating officer will make one DUI arrest per shift. If this standard is not met,
participating agencies must submit an explanation to the TZM explaining why this standard was not met.
Officers must also meet the following requirements:
• Officer must be BAC certified and have passed the SFST refresher training within the prior three
years, or
• Officer must have successfully completed Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement
(ARIDE), or
• Officer must he a certified Drug Recognition Expert.
• For impaired driving HVE mobilizations, there is one additional requirement:
o Officers must have made a DUI/DWI arrest within the past twelve months.
The Following sections in the SOW are for specific enforcement emphasis areas:
Impaired Driving Enforcement:
Impaired driving ( also referred to as Driving Under the Influence, or DUI) remains a top priority for the
WTSC. Year after year, roughly 50% of WA' s vehicular fatalities are due to impaired driving. HYE has
been shown to reduce impaired driving fatalities when the model is followed.
Overtime Impaired driving enforcement patrols must be planned and coordinated by the regional traffic
safety taskforce, including the TZM and LEL. The DUI patrols shall be deployed at locations where the data
indicates that the most traffic safety benefit can be realized as detennined by the local Traffic Safety Task
Force. Except when prior approval is provided, impaired driving HVE must begin after 8:00 p.m and will
occur Thursday-Sunday. The WTSC requires that impaired driving HVE patrols are done using
multijurisdictional collaboration.
The priority for this funding is participation in the national campaigns:
• Holiday DUI Patrols -December 11 -January 2
• Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over-August 19 -September 7
The DUI patrols shall be deployed at locations where the data indicates that the most traffic safety benefit
can be realized as determined by the local Traffic Safety Task Force. Except when prior approval is
provided, impaired driving HVE must begin after 8:00 p.m. and will occur Thursday-Sunday.
Funding in this category can be expended outside of the campaign periods. However, the funds must only be
used for impaired driving enforcement and during another national impaired driving enforcement campaign
or other large local event. Participation during Holiday DUI Patrols and Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over
should be prioritized when scheduling enforcement dates.
The WTSC encourages law enforcement agencies to use this funding to support the professional growth of
officers with limited exposure to impaired driving enforcement. With the approval of the region's TZM and
WTSC, officers can participate in mentoring for impaired driving enforcement. Requirements for this use of
funds include the following:
• WTSC approval for impaired driving mentorship is done through the HVE Mobilization Plan.
Approval for mentorship must be received prior to the activity date.
• The training officer must be a Drug Recognition Expert or ARIDE trained. TZMs can submit a
request for an officer who doesn't meet these requirements to be a mentor. This request must be
detailed on the HVE Mobilization Plan.
• There must be a review of the SFST procedure prior to the enforcement activity.
• There is a limit of two times per year that an officer can be a mentee.
• Funds permitting, mentees will participate in at least I impaired driving mobilization after
completing mentoring.
• Each region or county-level task force can set additional requirements for participation in this use of
funding.
• To be eligible for this activity, the task force must have a policy for DUI Mentoring.
• Funding will pay for overtime for the mentor officer and the mentee officer.
• Mentees should demonstrate their ability to make one DUI arrest per shift following their mentoring.
This funding can be used to conduct premise checks in bars and other establishments that sell alcohol. To be
used for this purpose, the activity must meet the following requirements:
• Approval for this activity is done through the HVE Mobilization Plan. This plan must be received
prior to the activity date. It should include details such as the estimated number of hours and officers
who will be participating in this activity. It should also include a plan for what officers will discuss
with the premise (Ex. distributing coasters, HVE dedication materials, mobilization creative, etc.)
• Each establishment is counted as one contact on the Officer Activity Log.
• The WA Liquor and Cannabis Board must be notified in advance of this activity to encourage
collaboration and support.
These funds can be used for DUI warrant round-up events. Prior approval is needed for these activities and
must include evidence of thorough planning.
Distracted Driving Enforcement:
With the State of Washington's distracted driving law, these patrols will be important to ensure through
education and enforcement that drivers understand and are following the new law. These patrols shall be
deployed at locations where the data indicates that the most traffic safety benefit can be realized as
determined by the local Traffic Safety Task Force. Wherever possible these patrols shall occur in areas with
the highest number of past distracted driving violations. The WTSC requires that distracted driving HVE
patrols are conducted using a team approach with designated spotters. This approach has shown to best
identify distracted driving violations. Minimum teams of 3 can conduct distracted driving HVE patrols -1
spotter and at least 2 officers responding to violations.
In order to be eligible to receive distracted driving HVE funds in FFY2020, the SUB-RECIPIENT must have
at least 1 citation issued during the FFY2019 On the Road Off the Phone campaign. Agencies that did not
participate in the FFY2019 On the Road Off the Phone campaign are eligible for funding.
The priority for this funding is participation in the national campaign, On the Road Off the Phone, April 1 -
18, 2020. However, this funding can be expended outside of the national campaign, but the funds must only
be used for distracted driving enforcement.
Seat Belt Use Enforcement:
Washington has one of the highest seatbelt use rates in the country, yet many of the state's vehicular
fatalities and serious injuries involved unbelted drivers and passengers. Funding for seatbelt enforcement
will be prioritized using data from WTSC's Research and Data Division, such as seatbelt use rates and fatal
and serious injury data.
At this point, funding distribution has yet to be determined.
Motorcycle Safety Patrols
The SUB-RECIPIENT will engage in multijurisdictional HVE patrols, as part of the national effort, for all or
part of the following campaign:
• It's A Fine Line -July 10 -26
These motorcycle safety patrols shall be deployed at locations where the data indicates that the most traffic
safety benefit can be realized as determined by the local Traffic Safety Task Force. Patrols must take place
Friday, Saturday, or Sunday during the It's A Fine Line campaign. ·
Patrols should focus on the illegal and unsafe driving actions of motorcycles that are known to cause serious
and fatal crashes. This includes impaired driving, speeding, and following too closely.
Patrols should also focus on the illegal and unsafe driving actions of all other motor vehicles when relating
to motorcycles. This includes speeding, failure to yield to a motorcycle, following too closely to a
motorcycle, distracted driving, etc.
Whenever possible, SUB-RECIPIENT should include motorcycle officers in these patrols.

Grant Requirements Acknowledgement Form for High Visibility Enforcement
(HVE) Mobilizations
WEMS Grant ID: 2020-HVE-3774-Washin gton Traffic Safe ty Commission
This document is intended to guide law enforcement agencies, Target Zero Managers (TZM),
and Law Enforcement Liaisons (LEL), in conducting overtime mobilizations funded by federal
highway safety grant funds to address impaired driving, distracted driving, seat belt use, and
motorcycle safely. These requirements are mandatory in accordance with signed HVE
Interagency Agreements (IAA), and all exceptions to these requirements must be pre-approved
by the Washington Traffic Safety Commission (WTSC) prior to the emphasis patrol(s).
This document highlights the key responsibilities of the SUB-RECIPIENT Project Manag er, the
WfSC, Target Zero Managers (TZM), and Law Enforcement Liaisons (LEL). This document
does not replace the comprehensive information detailed in the IAA. The information in the IAA
takes precedence over this document.
Before beginning work on this grant project, the SUB-RECIPIENT Project Manager should
thoroughly read and understand the terms of the IAA. This Grant Requirements
Acknowledgement Form provides an explanation of some key terms and highlights, but is not
comprehensive. If the SUB-RECIPIENT Project Manager has questions after reviewing this
document, please contact the WfSC Program Manager assigned to this grant.
When you, the grant Project Manager, acknowledge this document, you certify that you
understand the grant requirements and agree to fully comply with the terms and conditions set
forth in the IAA, as well as additional federal requirements outlined in the Code of Federal
Regulations for Federal Grants and Agreements, as referenced below.
If anything in this document conflicts with the IAA, the IAA takes precedence.
PURPOSE AND METHODS OF HVE:
The objective ofHVE campaigns is to change driver behavior by increasing the perceived risk of
arrest. To do this, law enforcement agencies deploy saturation patrols -the concentration of a
large number of officers in a small geographic area. These patrols should be publicized
extensively and conducted regularly, as part of an ongoing saturation patrol program. This is
achieved with:
• Increased law enforcement activities targeting specific driving violations. Law
enforcement presence must appear to be greater than typical to create a real or perceived
omnipresence. The enforcement plan is coordinated by the LEL and TZM.
• Public education and media activities coordinated by wrsc, TZM, and/or LEL
Funding from the WTSC supports overtime law enforcement activities to increase the number of
officers enforcing impaired driving, distracted driving, motorcycle and occupant protection laws.
The overtime law enforcement activities support the media effort by demonstrating to the public
that the media messages are true, i.e. that saturation patrols (with a particular focus) are going on
now, so that the public takes the media messages seriously. The media activities support the
enforcement effort by encouraging voluntary compliance with the laws.
These funds, designated for salaries and benefits, are intended to pay for the hourly overtime
costs and proportional amounts of fringe benefits of commissioned staff pursuing the activities
described in the statement of work. These funds may not be used for any other purpose for
example any work required to maintain a law enforcement commission including recertification
trainings like firearm qualification.
DEFINITIONS:
High Visibility Enforcement (HVE): HVE is a proven strategy to reduce vehicular fatalities in
serious injuries. There are 8 main components in the best practice model:
1. The event is planned by a local team
2 . The event is data driven. Interest in the event originates by local recognition of a
problem and the community's interest in responding to it.
3. The enforcement is multijurisdictional and uses a saturation approach
4 . The public is aware of the event before, during, and after the enforcement talces place. It
is important to note that these messages must reach all people in the community who use
the transportation system.
5. Local media are engaged by the HVE planning team
6. Enforcement is highly visible -clearly more than a typical day.
7. The HVE event is evaluated.
8. The HVE event is supported by deployment of resources in the priority areas throughout
the year when HVE is not being implemented.
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS:
Before beginning to work on this grant, you must have:
• A fully executed IAA or contract, signed by both parties.
• Attested to the Grant Requirements Acknowledgment Form (this document).
Work cannot begin before October 1, 1019, and before the /AA is signed by all parties.
Period of Performance: October 1, 2019 -September 30, 2020. All work must be completed no
later than September 30, 2020.
SELECT CONTRACT PROVISIONS:
Page 2 of 8
Scope of Work: The IAA includes detailed guidance for the allowable activities for this grant.
By certifying this Grant Requirements Acknowledgment Form, the contact for the SUB-
RECIPIENT for this grant certifies that they have reviewed this section of the IAA. To request
changes, the SUB-RECIPIENT will need to send this request to the WTSC HVE Program
Manager, and an IAA amendment may be required.
Period of Performance: October 1, 2019-September 30, 2020. All work must be completed,
and goods and services must be received, no later than September 30, 2020.
Compensation:
• All expenses must be incurred between October 1, 2019 and September 30, 2020.
• Expenses cannot exceed the total amount of the agreement, and must fall within the
amounts of each budget category as listed in the IAA.
• Funds cannot be moved between planned budget categories.
• Upon agreement between the TZM and all other parties impacted by a proposed budget
alteration, the allocation amounts may be increased or decreased without amending the
IAA. These alterations must be requested through email communication between all
involved parties, including the TZM and the WTSC Fiscal Analyst. Budget alterations
should not be approved by the TZM if the proposed funding amounts cause a region's
maximum funding amount to be exceeded in any HVE category, unless the WTSC HVE
Program Manager pre-approves this budget adjustment.
• WTSC will reimburse for personnel overtime expenses at up to 150 percent of the
officer's nonnal salary rate plus SUB-RECIPIENT' s contributions to employee benefits,
limited to the following: FICA, Medicare, any portion of L & I that is paid by the
employer, and retirement contributions paid by the employer (only if the contribution is
based on a percentage of hours worked).
• The SUB-RECIPIENT will provide law enforcement officers with appropriate equipment
( e.g., vehicles, radars, breath testers, etc.) to participate in the emphasis patrols.
• Funding can be expended at the discretion of the region's traffic safety task force, so long
as the funds are used for their originally intended purpose. Participation in statewide
enforcement campaigns should be prioritized when possible.
HVE Mobilization Plans
Task forces are required to submit a plan for each HVE mobilization. This plan includes, but is
not limited to, the following items:
• Statement of need
• Law enforcement agencies participating
• Enforcement strategy, including target violation and location(s)
• Communications strategy
• Evaluation plan
Impaired Driving Training Requirements:
Page 3 of 8
The WTSC recognizes that most of the vehicular fatalities involving impaired include
impairment by drugs. Because of this, the WTSC prefers officers who work these HVE
mobilizations to be DRE or ARIDE trained. However, the minimum requirement for these HVE
mobilizations are the following:
• Completed SFST training within the past three years
• Must have current BAC certificalion
• Must have made a DUI/DWI arrest within the past twelve months, unless the officer
participated in DUI mentoring. An exception to this requirement can be made to the
HVE Program Manager.
DUI Enforcement Mentoring
Statewide DUI and Flex Funding (during DUI mobilizations) can be used to support the
professional growth of officers with limited exposure to impaired driving enforcement. With the
approval of the region's TZM and WTSC, officers can participate in mentoring for impaired
driving enforcement. Requirements for this use of funds include the following:
• WTSC approval for impaired driving mentorship is done through the HVE Mobilization
Plan. Approval for mentorship must be received prior to the activity date.
• The training officer must be a Drug Recognition Expert trained officer. TZMs can
submit a request for an officer who doesn't meet these requirements to be a mentor. This
request must be detailed on the HVE Mobilization Plan.
• There must be a review of the SFST procedure prior to the enforcement activity.
• There is a limit of two times per year that an officer can be a mentee.
• Funds permitting, mentees will participate in at least one impaired driving mobilization
after completing mentoring.
• Each region or county-level task force can set additional requirements for participation in
this use of funding.
• To be eligible for this activity, the task force must have a policy for DUI Mentoring.
• Funding will pay for overtime for the mentor officer and the mentee officer.
Advance Payments Prohibited: WTSC cannot pay any funds in advance to the HVE
mobilization before completing the work.
Agreement Alterations and Amendments:
• Any changes to the terms of an agreement must be mutually agreed upon by both parties
and are often incorporated by written amendment to the agreement/contract. Such
amendments shall only be binding if they are in writing and signed by personnel
authorized to bind each of the parties.
• Exceptions to this include alterations to the budget and the Primary Contact for the
agency listed in WEMS. The regional TZM has the authority to make these alterations if
all affected parties agree to the changes.
Billing procedure:
Page4of8
The WTSC is currently developing functionality in WEMS to streamline enforcement activity
and invoice submission. The WTSC requires that this functionality be used for billing when
available. Instructions and requirements for using this functionality will be provided at a later
date.
Prior to activity and invoice submission by the SUB-RECIPIENT in WEMS, the SUB-
RECIPIENT shall submit monthly invoices for reimbursement to the TZM with supporting
documentation, as WTSC shall require. The TZM will submit all approved invoices to the
WTSC via WEMS within 10 days ofreceipt.
All invoices for reimbursement must include the following. Note -this will likely change when
the new invoicing process is implemented.
• Form A-19 provided by WTSC or its pre-approved equivalent. The hourly rate of each
officer included on the invoice must be identified.
• Emphasis Patrol Log for each officer
• WTSC's Overtime Log or the SUB-RECIPIENT's overtime approval sheets signed by
the officer's supervisor
Payment to the SUB-RECIPIENT for approved and completed work will be made by warrant or
account transfer by WTSC within 30 days of receipt of such properly documented invoices
acceptable to WTSC. Upon expiration of the Agreement, any claim for payment not already
made shall be submitted within 45 days after the expiration date of this Agreemen t. All invoices
for goods received or services performed on or prior to June 30, 2020, must be received by
WTSC no later than August 10, 2020. All invoices for goods received or services performed
between July 1, 2020 and September 30, 2020, must be received by WTSC no later than
November 15, 2020.
Buy America Act: For any manufactured goods over $5,000, the SUB-RECIPIENT must
provide written certification that the goods, including IT software and hardware, were produced
in the USA. (This does not normally apply to HVE activities.)
Cost Principles: SUB-RECIPIENT cannot use grant funds to replace routine and/or existing
staff or expenditures. Must comply with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart E.
Income: Any and all program income earned by the SUB-RECIPIENT during the grant period
from activities conducted as part of the grant (e.g., sale of publications, registration fees, service
charges, etc.) must be fully accounted for and applied to project purposes or used to reduce
project costs.
Lobbying/ Political Activity: Because this grant uses federal funds, no work being funded by
this grant can be used to lobby or otherwise influence state or federal officials, or support or
oppose legislation; there is an allowance for "customary state practice."
Records Maintenance: Maintain records pertaining to this agreement for 6 years after grant
expiration.

PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS:
• All officers participating in HVE patrols are required to attend mobilization briefings if
conducted.
• Participating law enforcement officers are required to make a minimwn of three self-
initiated contacts per hour of enforcement. The WTSC recognizes that some contacts may
result in time-consuming enforcement-related activities and that sometimes this
performance goal is not possible to attain. Failure to meet the performance goal does not
automatically mean reduction in reimbursement for the activity. Officers who do not
meet the performance goal should docwnent the reason, will be reviewed by the TZM
andLEL.
• Other activities, such as collision investigations or emergency response that are not
initiated through emphasis patrol contact WILL NOT be reimbursed. Only traffic safety
enforcement and correlated activity is allowable for reimbursement.
• All personnel who work HVE patrols must submit officer Emphasis Patrol Activity Logs
to the regional TZM within 48 hours of the end of all shifts worked. The regional TZM
will review, approve, and submit the reimbursement to WTSC for payment.
SHIFT LENGTH:
The law enforcement agency involved will not schedule individual officer overtime shifts for
longer than eight hours. WTSC understands there may be instances when more than eight hours
are billed due to DUI processing or other reasons.
RESERVE OFFICERS:
The law enforcement agency involved will ensure that any reserve officer for whom
reimbursement is claimed has exceeded his/her normal weekly working hours when participating
in an emphasis patrol and is authorized to be paid at the amount requested. Reserve officers may
only be paid at the normal hourly rate and not at the 150 percent overtime rate.
