FEMA PA APPEAL SHORT SUMMARY & LINKS TO FEMA PA APPEAL WEBSITE

This is in response to a letter from your office dated August 1, 2016, which transmitted the referenced second appeal on behalf of St. Thomas University (Applicant). The Applicant is appealing the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) denial of $703,424.00 in costs pertaining to the recoating of the Kennedy Hall main roof and additional expenses that it incurred, but which were not submitted at closeout. I have determined that, because the first appeal was untimely, the Applicant’s appeal rights lapsed with respect to FEMA’s determination that recoating the Kennedy Hall main roof was outside the scope of work of the PW, as well as the denial of the request for reimbursement of additional invoices. Further explanation is provided in the enclosed analysis. Please inform the Applicant of my decision. This determination is the final decision on this matter pursuant to 44 C.F.R. § 206.206, Appeals
