K. Overhead and indirect costs. “Indirect Costs” means those costs that are incurred for a common or joint purpose benefiting more than one cost objective and are not readily assignable to the funded project (i.e., costs that are not directly related to the funded project). Examples of Indirect Costs include, but are not limited to: central service costs; general administration of the Funding Recipient; non-project-specific accounting and personnel services performed within the Funding Recipient’s organization; depreciation or use allowances on buildings and equipment; the costs of operating and maintaining non-project-specific facilities; tuition and conference fees; and, generic overhead or markup.

7. METHOD OF PAYMENT. After the disbursement requirements in Paragraph 4 “Basic Conditions” are met, State will disburse the whole or portions of State funding to Funding Recipient, following receipt from Funding Recipient via US mail or Express mail delivery of a “wet signature” invoice or an electronic invoice Funding Agreement No. 4600014089
Amendment 2

Page 3 of 31 ends

certified and transmitted via DocuSign for costs incurred, including Cost Share, and timely Quarterly Progress Reports as required by Paragraph 11, “Submission of Reports.” Payment will be made no more frequently than monthly, in arrears, upon receipt of an invoice bearing the Funding Agreement number.

State will notify Funding Recipient, in a timely manner, whenever, upon review of an Invoice, State determines that any portion or portions of the costs claimed are not eligible costs or is not supported by documentation or receipts acceptable to State. Funding Recipient may, within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of receipt of such notice, submit additional documentation to State to cure such deficiency(ies). If Funding Recipient fails to submit adequate documentation curing the deficiency(ies), State will adjust the pending invoice by the amount of ineligible or unapproved costs.

Invoices submitted by Funding Recipient shall include the following information:

A. Costs incurred for work performed in implementing the Project during the period identified in the particular invoice.

B. Costs incurred for any interests in real property (land or easements) that have been necessarily acquired for a project during the period identified in the particular invoice for the implementation of the Project.

C. Invoices shall be submitted on forms provided by State and shall meet the following format requirements:
i. Invoices must contain the date of the invoice, the time period covered by the invoice, and the total amount due.
ii. Invoices must be itemized based on the categories (i.e., tasks) specified in Exhibit B. The amount claimed for salaries/wages/consultant fees must include a calculation formula (i.e., hours or days worked times the hourly or daily rate = the total amount claimed). iii. One set of sufficient evidence (i.e., receipts, copies of checks, time sheets) must be provided for all costs included in the invoice.
iv. Each invoice shall clearly delineate those costs claimed for reimbursement from the State’s funding amount, as depicted in Paragraph 3, “Funding Amount.”
v. Original signature and date of the Funding Recipient’s Project Representative. Submit an electronic invoice, certified and transmitted via electronic/digital signature system (e.g., DocuSign), from authorized representative to the Project Manager or the original “wet signature” copy of the invoice form to the Project Manager at the following address: Eddie Pech, Water Resources Engineer, Department of Water Resources, Division of Regional Assistance, 770 Fairmont Avenue, Suite 200, CA 91203.

All invoices submitted shall be accurate and signed under penalty of law. Any and all costs submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall only be for the tasks set forth herein. The Funding Recipient shall not submit any invoice containing costs that are ineligible or have been reimbursed from other funding sources.

Any eligible costs for which the Funding Recipient is seeking reimbursement shall not be reimbursed from any other source. Double or multiple billing for time, services, or any other eligible cost is illegal and constitutes fraud. Any suspected occurrences of fraud, forgery, embezzlement, theft, or any other misuse of public funds may result in suspension of disbursements of grant funds and/or termination of this Agreement requiring the repayment of all funds disbursed hereunder plus interest. Additionally, the State may request an audit pursuant to Paragraph D.5 and refer the matter to the Attorney General’s Office or the appropriate district attorney’s office for criminal prosecution or the imposition of civil liability. (Civ. Code, §§ 1572-1573; Pen. Code, §§ 470, 489-490.)

8. WITHHOLDING OF DISBURSEMENTS BY STATE. If State determines that the Project is not being implemented in accordance with the provisions of this Funding Agreement, or that Funding Recipient has failed in any other respect to comply with the provisions of this Funding Agreement, and if Funding Recipient does not remedy any such failure to State’s satisfaction, State may withhold from Funding Funding Agreement No. 4600014089
Amendment 2
