<br />Page 6 of 25 <br />(10) A description of the work performed, in accordance with the Task Order <br />Budgetary Breakdown, which provides a general narrative sufficient for the <br />reader to identify the task and hours worked on that task. <br /> <br />D. Consultant’s invoice must be printed on a printed bill head and signed by the Project <br />Manager or other authorized signatory. <br /> <br />E. If any Consultant invoices contain requests for expense reimbursement, Consultant <br />must include copies of the corresponding invoices and receipts with that invoice. <br /> <br />F. After the Owner receives Consultant’s invoice, the Owner will either process the <br />invoice for payment or give Consultant specific reasons, in writing within fifteen (15) <br />business days, why part or all of the Owner’s payment is being withheld and what <br />actions Consultant must take to receive the withheld amount. <br /> <br />G. In the event of a disputed billing, only the disputed portion will be withheld from <br />payment, and the Owner shall pay the undisputed portion. The Owner will exercise <br />reasonableness in disputing any bill or portion thereof. Interest will accrue on any <br />disputed portion of the billing determined to be due and owing to Consultant. <br /> <br />H. Payment does not imply acceptance of services, that expenses are allowable, or that <br />the invoice is accurate. In the event an error is identified within three (3) months of <br />receipt of payment, Consultant must credit any payment in error from any payment <br />that is due or that may become due to Consultant under this Agreement. <br /> <br />I. The Owner will be charged interest at the rate of one-half percent (1/2%) per month, <br />or that permitted by law if lesser, on all past-due amounts starting thirty (30) days <br />after receipt of invoice. Payments will be first credited to interest and then to <br />principal. <br /> <br />J. If the Owner fails to make payment in full within thirty (30) days of the date due for <br />any undisputed billing, Consultant may, after giving seven (7) days’ written notice to <br />the Owner, suspend services under this Agreement until paid in full, including <br />interest. In the event of suspension of services, Consultant will have no liability to the <br />Owner for delays or damages because of such suspension. <br /> <br />K. Without waiving any rights to recover payment for reimbursable taxes, fees or other <br />costs per the provisions of Paragraph 13 herein, Consultant must pay in the first <br />instance all fees, fines, taxes, or other costs of doing business related to the services. <br /> <br />14. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARTIES. Consultant is retained by the Owner only for <br />the purposes and to the extent set forth in this Agreement, and its relationship to the <br />Owner shall, during the period or periods of services under this Agreement, be that of an <br />independent contractor. Consultant shall be free to use such portion of Consultant’s entire <br />time, energy, and skill during the course of this Agreement to meet its contractual <br />obligation to the Owner. Neither Consultant, nor its personnel, shall be considered to be <br />employed by the Owner or entitled to participate in any plans, arrangements or
