UTILITY AGREEMENT Page 2 of 5 III. PERFORMANCE OF WORK COSA-1101/1103 OWNER agrees to cause the herein described work to be performed by a contract with the lowest qualified bidder, selected pursuant to a valid competitive bidding procedure, and to furnish or cause to be furnished all necessary labor, materials, tools, and equipment required therefore, and to prosecute said work diligently to completion. Use of personnel requiring lodging and meal 'per diem' expenses shall not exceed the per diem expense amounts allowed under the California Department of Human Resources travel expense guidelines. Accounting Form FA-1301 is to be completed and submitted for all non-OCTA personnel travel per diem. Owner shall also include an explanation why local employee or contract labor is not considered adequate for the relocation work proposed. Work performed by OWNER's contractor is a public work under the definition of Labor Code Section 1720(a) and is therefore subject to prevailing wage requirements. Work performed directly by OWNER's employees falls within the exception of Labor Code Section 1720(a)(1) and does not constitute a public work under Section 1720(a)(2) and is not subject to prevailing wages. OWNER shall verify compliance with this requirement in the administration of its contracts referenced above. IV. PAYMENT FOR WORK The OCTA shall pay its share of the actual and necessary cost of the herein described work within 45 days after receipt of OWNER's itemized bill, signed by a responsible official of OWNER's organization and prepared on OWNER's letterhead, compiled on the basis of the actual and necessary cost and expense. The OWNER shall maintain records of the actual costs incurred and charged or allocated to the project in accordance with recognized accounting principles. It is understood and agreed that OCTA will not pay for any betterment or increase in capacity of OWNER's facilities in the new location and that OWNER shall give credit OCTA for the accrued depreciation for the replaced facilities and for the salvage value of any material or parts salvaged and retained or sold by OWNER. Not more frequently than once a month, but at least quarterly, OWNER will prepare and submit detailed itemized progress bills for costs incurred not to exceed OWNER's recorded costs as of the billing date less estimated credits applicable to completed work. Payment of progress bills not to exceed the amount of this Agreement may be made under the terms of this Agreement. Payment of progress bills which exceed the amount of this Agreement may be made after receipt and approval by OCTA of documentation supporting the cost increase and after an Amendment to this Agreement has been executed by the parties to this Agreement. The OWNER shall submit a final bill to OCTA within 360 days after the completion of the work described in Section I above. If OCTA has not received a final bill within 360 days after notification of completion of OWNER's work described in Section I of this Agreement, and OCTA has delivered to OWNER fully executed Director's Deeds, Consents to Common Use or Joint Use Agreements for OWNER's facilities (if required), OCTA will provide written notification to OWNER of its intent to close its file within 30 days. OWNER hereby acknowledges, to the extent allowed by law, that all remaining costs will be deemed to have been abandoned. If OCTA processes a final bill for payment more than 360 days after notification of completion of OWNER's work, payment of the late bill may be subject to allocation and/or approval by the OCTA Board of Directors. The final billing shall be in the form of a detailed itemized statement of the total costs charged to the project, less the credits provided for in this Agreement, and less any amounts covered by progress billings. However, OCTA shall not pay final bills which exceed the estimated cost of this Agreement without documentation of the reason for the increase of said cost from the OWNER and approval of
