§8.F, Local Agency shall not commence Work on any phase until it receives a notice to <br />proceed from the State; such notice to proceed shall not be issued without a fully executed <br />Task Order for such phase. <br />B. Payment <br />i. Advance, Interim and Final Payments <br />Any advance payment allowed under this Agreement or in any Task Order shall comply with <br />State Fiscal Rules and be made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The <br />Local Agency shall initiate any payment requests by submitting invoices to the State in the <br />form and manner, approved by the State. <br />ii. Interest <br />The State shall fully pay each invoice within 45 days of receipt thereof if the amount invoiced <br />represents performance by the Local Agency previously accepted by the State. Uncontested <br />amounts not paid by the State within 45 days shall bear interest on the unpaid balance <br />beginning on the 46th day at a rate not to exceed one percent per month until paid in full; <br />provided, however, that interest shall not accrue on unpaid amounts that are subject to a <br />good faith dispute. The Local Agency shall invoice the State separately for accrued interest <br />on delinquent amounts. The billing shall reference the delinquent payment, the number of <br />days interest to be paid and the interest rate. <br />iii. Available Funds -Contingency -Termination <br />The State is prohibited by law from making commitments beyond the term of the State's <br />current fiscal year. Therefore, the Local Agency's compensation beyond the State's current <br />Fiscal Year is contingent upon the continuing availability of State appropriations as provided <br />in the Colorado Special Provisions. The State's performance hereunder is also contingent <br />upon the continuing availability of federal funds. Payments pursuant to this Agreement shall <br />be made only from available funds encumbered for this Agreement through Task Orders and <br />the State's liability for such payments shall be limited to the amount remaining of such <br />Agreement Funds. If State or federal funds are not appropriated, or otherwise become <br />unavailable to fund this Agreement, the State may terminate this Agreement immediately, in <br />whole or in part, without further liability in accordance with the provisions hereof. <br />iv. Erroneous Payments <br />At the State's sole discretion, payments made to the Local Agency in error for any reason, <br />including, but not limited to overpayments or improper payments, and unexpended or excess <br />funds received by the Local Agency, may be recovered from the Local Agency by deduction <br />from subsequent payments under this Agreement or other contracts, grants or agreements <br />between the State and the Local Agency or by other appropriate methods and collected as a <br />debt due to the State. Such funds shall not be paid to any party other than the State. <br />C. Use of Funds <br />Agreement Funds shall be used only for eligible costs identified herein. <br />D. Local Funds <br />The Local Agency shall provide Local Funds as specified in Task Order Budget(s). The Local <br />Agency shall have raised the full amount of Local Funds prior to the effective date of the <br />authorized Task Order and shall report to the State regarding the status of such funds upon <br />request. The Local Agency's obligation to pay all or any part of any Local Funds, whether direct <br />or contingent, only extend to funds duly and lawfully appropriated for the purposes of this <br />Agreement by the authorized representatives of the Local Agency and paid into the Local <br />Agency's treasury. The Local Agency represents to the State that the amount designated "Local <br />Funds" in an authorized Task Order Budget has been legally appropriated for the purpose of <br />this Agreement by its authorized representatives and paid into its treasury. The Local Agency <br />does not by this Agreement irrevocably pledge present cash reserves for payments in future <br />fiscal years, and this Agreement is not intended to create a multiple -fiscal year debt of the Local <br />Agency. The Local Agency shall not pay or be liable for any claimed interest, late charges, fees, <br />taxes or penalties of any nature, except as required by the Local Agency's laws or policies. <br />Page 11 of 26 <br />
