terminated or reduced at the discretion of the Contractor.
B. Amount of Payment. The Safe City Commission Safe shall pay
the Subcontractor up to a maximum of$31,760.00 from available
funds for services rendered in accordance with the terms of this
contract upon receipt of a proper and verified billing statement with
accompanying documentation. Contractor may reduce any payments
to the extent of any previous overpayments by Contractor to
Subrecipient. If program income accrues,the Subcontractor shall
return to the Contractor any income that exceeds actual costs
incurred for services rendered under contract. In no event shall
payments by Contractor to Subrecipient exceed the Subcontractor's
actual reasonable, necessary and allowable costs to provide services
under this contract budget
C. Basis for Payment. The basis for payment for services rendered
under this contract is indicated in the service terms with the budget
(Attachment A),which is incorporated herein for all purposes. The
Subcontractor shall follow and be subject to fiscal and billing policies
and procedures of the Contractor and DOJ/CCDO. The Contractor is
not obligated to pay unauthorized costs or to pay more than the
Subcontractor's allowable and actual incurred costs consistent with
federal and state regulations.
The Subcontractor is responsible for submitting bills by the 10th of
each month for payment of the prior month service period. The
Contractor will make reasonable effort to process all bills received by
the 10th and issue payment the end of the current month, but does not
warrant immediate payment. The method of payment is cost
reimbursement.This means that costs should only be billed after they
have actually been incurred and paid by the Subcontractor.
D. Actual Costs. The reimbursement made to the Subcontractor
shall not exceed the Subcontractor's actual costs to provide the
services under this contract and the Subcontractor's actual costs,

Revenue Act of 1978, dealing with issuance of Form W-2's to common
law employees. The Subcontractor must comply with all Federal and
State tax laws and withholding requirements.The Contractor will not
be liable to the Subcontractor or its employees for any Unemployment
of Workers' Compensation coverage, or Federal or State withholding
requirements.

Subcontractor shall be liable for undue delays or failures to perform
except for any delay in or failure of performance of any requirement
caused by force majeure (i.e.those causes generally recognized under
Texas law as constituting impossible conditions). Such delays or
failures to perform shall extend the period of performance at the
discretion of Contractor in the exercise of reasonable diligence until
these exigencies have been removed.The Subcontractor shall inform
the Contractor in writing of proof of such force majeure within a
reasonably prudent time.
H. Accounting. The Subcontractor shall adhere to Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles(GAAP)promulgated by the American
Institute of Certified Accountants and follow Contractor policies and
procedures in submitting timely billing and maintaining financial
records required to be kept under this contract.

programmatic, and supporting documents, statistical records,
inventories of nonexpendable property acquired, and other records
pertinent to claims submitted during the contract period for a
minimum of five (5)years after the termination of the contract
period, or for five (5) years after the end of the federal fiscal year in
which services were provided. If any litigation, claim, or audit
findings involving these records begin before the five (5) year
3
period expires, the Subcontractor will keep the records and
documents for not less than five years and until all litigation, claims,
or audit findings are resolved. Contract period means the beginning
