Common use of Claim Certification Clause in Contracts

Claim Certification. Contractor acknowledges that it has read and is familiar with the provisions of the False Claims Act (Gov. Code, § 12650 et seq.). Submission by Contractor of any Claim (as the term “claim” is defined in False Claims Act) to District in connection with the Project, whether on its behalf or on behalf of a Subcontractor or material supplier, shall constitute a representation by Contractor to District that to the best of its knowledge, submission of the Claim does not in any respect, violate the False Claims Act. Any party with an interest in the Claim, including Contractor and any Subcontractor or material supplier, shall certify under penalty of perjury the validity and accuracy of any Claim submitted to District, as provided below. In the event of a pass-through Claim from a Subcontractor or supplier, Contractor may qualify its Claim certification to certify that the Claim is made in good faith, the supporting data is complete and accurate to the best of Subcontractor’s knowledge and belief, and that the amount requested accurately reflects the contract adjustment for which Subcontractor believes District is liable. Subcontractor shall execute any pass-through Claim pursuant to the language of this Section.
