It is understood and agreed that any request for payment that requires the DEPARTMENT to request additional information of the LOCAL SPONSOR shall stop time for the DEPARTMENT's review period and will reset when such information is received as requested by the DEPARTMENT. Upon approval of the request for payment, the DEPARTMENT shall disburse the funds due the LOCAL SPONSOR. Retainage of 10% of the disbursement may be held on account for each deliverable in the disbursement that represents a portion of the complete subtask. The cumulative amount retained for each eligible deliverable item shall be disbursed to the LOCAL SPONSOR after the DEPARTMENT has certified that the LOCAL SPONSOR has complied with all the terms and conditions of the Agreement. The DEPARTMENT will periodically request proof of a transaction (invoice, payroll register, etc.) to evaluate the appropriateness of costs to the Agreement pursuant to State and Federal guidelines (including cost allocation guidelines), as appropriate. When requested, this information must be provided within thirty (30) calendar days of such request. If applicable, the LOCAL SPONSOR may also be required to submit a cost allocation plan to the DEPARTMENT in support of its multipliers (overhead, indirect, general administrative costs, and fringe benefits). 17. For the duration of this Agreement, the LOCAL SPONSOR shall submit to the DEPARTMENT's Project Manager on a quarterly basis, Attachment C (Project Progress Report, Part III), as updates to the project schedule, no later than thirty (30) calendar days following the completion date of the quarterly reporting period in which the PROJECT is underway. The term "quarterly" shall reflect the calendar quarters ending March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. Progress reports are to be submitted electronically in Word .doc or .pdf. Information provided shall be the best available and shall represent the most accurate forecast of future events. Specific information to be included in the quarterly report: tasks to be completed, start and finish dates, task duration, and actual start and finish dates with actual task duration. In cases where no reimbursement is sought for a given quarter, all applicable portions of the progress report must still be completed and submitted. The timely submittal of these quarterly reports will result in points for the ranking of future projects under the Beach Management Funding Assistance Program. 18. Upon completion of a task or the PROJECT, the LOCAL SPONSOR shall submit to the DEPARTMENT a certification of completion, attached hereto as Attachment D (Project Completion Certification). A final PROJECT certification inspection shall be made by the DEPARTMENT within sixty (60) calendar days after the PROJECT is certified complete by the LOCAL SPONSOR. 19. The LOCAL SPONSOR shall, at a minimum, comply with monetary limits for competitive acquisition of both materials and services as required by Chapters 287 and 255, Florida Statutes, as applicable, and Subsection 161.101(17), Florida Statutes, which are expressly made a part of this Agreement and incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth. A. Pursuant to Section 255.0991, F.S., for a competitive solicitation for construction services in which 50 percent or more of the cost will be paid from state -appropriated funds which have been appropriated at the time of the competitive solicitation, a state, college, county, municipality, school district, or other political subdivision of the state may not use a local ordinance or regulation that provides a preference based upon: 1) The contractor's maintaining an office or place of business within a particular local jurisdiction; 2) The contractor's hiring employees or subcontractors from within a particular local jurisdiction; or 3) The contractor's prior payment of local taxes, assessments, or duties within a particular local jurisdiction.
