• 40 C1 Only eligible costs identified in the Grant and Contract Accountability Policy shall be allowable. All minor details necessary for proper completion of the work herein specific shall be accomplished by the GRANTEE without additional expense to the COMMISSION. Verification of compliance with the grant terms and conditions must be completed by the COMMISSION, and payment will be authorized within 30 days after receipt by the COMMISSION of the required "Disposition Certification for Derelict Vessels", and a proper invoice with supporting schedules and documentation of allowable expenses incurred. The GRANTEE understands that section 215.422, Florida Statutes establishes certain state agency responsibilities and grants certain vendor rights with respect to invoice processing time limits and dispute resolution. Upon receipt, an agency has five working days to inspect and approve the goods and services, unless the bid specifications, purchase order or contract specifies otherwise. An agency has 20 days to deliver a request for payment (voucher) to the Department of Banking and Finance. The 20 days are measured from the latter of the date the invoice is received or the date the goods or services are received, inspected and approved. The invoice payment requirements do not start until a properly completed invoice is provided to the agency. A Vendor Ombudsman has been established to act as an advocate for vendors who may be experiencing problems in obtaining timely payment(s) from a state agency. The Vendor Ombudsman may be contacted at (850) 488-2924 or by calling the State Comptroller's Hotline, 1-800-848-3782. 4. Interest In accordance with section 215.422, Florida Statutes, the COMMISSION shall pay the GRANTEE interest at a rate as established by section 55.03(1), Florida Statutes on the unpaid balance, if a warrant in payment of an invoice is not issued within 40 days after receipt of a correct invoice and receipt, inspection and approval of tite goods and services. Interest payments of less than $1 will not be enforced unless a GRANTEE requests payment. 5. Period of Grant The grant period shall begin on the date of execution and end no later than November 17, 2001. The GRANTEE understands and agrees that the derelict vessel removal and disposal requirements of this Agreement must be satisfactorily completed on or before November 17, 2001. 6. Monitoring The GRANTEE shall permit the COMMISSION, or its duly authorized representative, to monitor the removal and disposal of derelict vessels covered by this Agreement as deemed necessary by the COMMISSION. 7. Liabilily Each party hereto agrees that it shall be solely responsible for the wrongful acts of its employees, contractors, and agents.
