UTILITY AGREEMENT Page 3 of 5 result of a revised Notice to Owner as provided for in Section 1, a copy of said revised Notice to Owner shall suffice as documentation. In either case, payment of the amount over the estimated cost of this Agreement may be subject to allocation and/or approval by the OGTA Board of Directors. In any event if the final bill exceeds 125% of the estimated cost of this Agreement, an Amended Agreement shall be executed by the parties to this Agreement prior to the payment of the OWNER's final bill. Any and all increases in costs that are the direct result of deviations from the work described in Section I of this Agreement, shall have the prior concurrence of OCTA. Detailed records from which the billing is compiled shall be retained by the OWNER for a period of three years from the date of the final payment and will be available for audit by OCTA and or Federal auditors. In performing work under this Agreement, OWNER agrees to comply with the Uniform System of Accounts for Public Utilities found at 18 CFR, Parts 101, 201, at al., to the extent they are applicable to OWNER doing work on the project that is the subject of this agreement, the contract cost principles and procedures as set forth in 48 CFR, Chapter 1, Subpart E, Part 31, at seq., 23 CFR, Chapter 1, Part 645 and 2CFR, Part 200, at al. If a subsequent OCTA and/or Federal audit determines payments to be unallowable, OWNER agrees to reimburse AGENCY upon receipt of AGENCY billing. If OWNER is subject to repayment due to failure by OCTA to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances, then OCTA will ensure that OWNER is compensated for actual cost in performing work under this agreement. V. GENERAL CONDITIONS All costs accrued by OWNER as a result of OCTA's request of July 27, 2018 to review, study and/or prepare relocation plans and estimates for the project associated with this Agreement may be billed pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If OCTA's proect which precipitated this Agreement is canceled or modified so as to eliminate the necessity of work by OWNER, OCTA will notify OWNER in writing and OCTA reserves the right to terminate this Agreement by Amendment. The Amendment shall provide mutually acceptable terms and conditions for terminating the Agreement. All obligations of OCTA under the terms of this Agreement are subject to the acceptance of the Agreement by OCTA Board of Directors or the Delegated Authority (as applicable), the passage of the annual Budget Act by the State Legislature, and the allocation of those funds by the California Transportation Commission. OWNER shall submit a Notice of Completion to the OCTA within 30 days of the completion of the work described herein. It is understood that said highway is a Federal aid highway and accordingly, 23 CFR, Chapter 1, Part 645 is hereby incorporated into this Agreement. In addition, the provisions of 23 CFR 635.410, Buy America, are also incorporated into this agreement. The Buy America requirements are further specified in Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21), section 1518; 23 CFR 635.410 requires that all manufacturing processes have occurred in the United States for steel and Iron products (including the application of coatings) installed on a project receiving funding from the FHWA.
