Agreement Administration and Communications A. Under this Agreement, either of the representatives of the Judicial Council identified below will monitor the Work and act as the Judicial Council’s liaisons with the Contractor:
Record Retention and Audit In compliance with the Illinois Procurement Code (30 Ill. Comp. Stat. 500/20-65) and rules promulgated thereunder, every CONTRACT for goods and services shall provide that the contractor shall maintain certain records, books and documents. The DESIGN SECTION ENGINEER shall maintain in the State of Illinois, for a minimum of five years from the latter of the date of completion of the CONTRACT or the date of final payment under the CONTRACT, adequate books, records, and supporting documents from an accounting system maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to verify the amounts, recipients, uses and methods of all disbursements of funds passing in conjunction with the CONTRACT. The five year record maintenance period shall be extended for the duration of any audit in progress at the time of that period’s expiration. The DESIGN SECTION ENGINEER shall at its own expense make such records available in a timely manner for inspection and audit (including copies and extracts of records) as required by the Auditor General and other State Auditors, the Chief Procurement Officer for General Services, the Illinois Department of Transportation, and the TOLLWAY’s Inspector General, Internal Audit or other TOLLWAY agents at all reasonable times and without prior notice. For purposes of this section, “timeliness” will be considered production within the time period specified by the Auditor General and other State Auditors, the Chief Procurement Officer for General Services, the Illinois Department of Transportation and the TOLLWAY’s Inspector General, Internal Audit or other TOLLWAY agents, but no later than thirty days after a request for records being made unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. The DESIGN SECTION ENGINEER agrees to cooperate fully with any audit conducted by the Auditor General and other State Auditors, the Chief Procurement Officer for General Services, the Illinois Department of Transportation and the TOLLWAY’s Inspector General, Internal Audit or other TOLLWAY agents, and to provide full access to all relevant materials. The auditors reserve the right to enter the DESIGN SECTION ENGINEER’s place of business in order to audit the records. If they are not produced in a timely manner by the DESIGN SECTION ENGINEER, then the DESIGN SECTION ENGINEER shall reimburse the TOLLWAY or other State agency for the travel expenses of its auditors in the event that this right is invoked. The obligations of this Section shall be explicitly included in any subcontracts or agreements formed between the DESIGN SECTION ENGINEER and any subcontractors or suppliers of goods and services to the extent that those subcontracts or agreements relate to fulfillment of the DESIGN SECTION ENGINEER’s obligations to the TOLLWAY. Such subcontractor shall be required to comply with the terms and conditions of this Section and the TOLLWAY shall be entitled to enforce a breach of that contract. Any audit adjustment will be submitted on a final invoice for any underpayment or overpayment to the DESIGN SECTION ENGINEER or its subcontractors. The DESIGN SECTION ENGINEER shall promptly reimburse the TOLLWAY for any overpayment, or the TOLLWAY at its option may deduct any overpayment from any funds due the DESIGN SECTION ENGINEER, whether those funds are due under this contract or other contracts to which the DESIGN SECTION ENGINEER is a party either directly with the TOLLWAY or as a subcontractor. In the event the DESIGN SECTION ENGINEER fails or refuses to reimburse the TOLLWAY for an overpayment, the DESIGN SECTION ENGINEER shall be responsible for all costs, including attorney fees, incurred by the TOLLWAY to collect such overpayment. Failure to maintain or make available the books, records, and supporting documents required by this Section shall establish a presumption in favor of the TOLLWAY for recovery of any funds paid by the TOLLWAY under the contract for which adequate books, records and supporting documentation are not available to support their purported disbursement. The DESIGN SECTION ENGINEER shall reimburse the TOLLWAY for the total costs of an audit that identifies significant findings that would benefit the TOLLWAY, including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees and other expenses. Significant findings for the purposes of this provision shall be identified as an amount in excess of $50,000 in aggregate of the audit report or findings of material performance or compliance deficiencies. If the DESIGN SECTION ENGINEER fails to comply with these requirements, the DESIGN SECTION ENGINEER may be disqualified or suspended from bidding on or working on future contracts.
Maintenance Retention and Audit of Records The Bank shall maintain all books, documents, papers, accounting records and other evidence pertaining to costs incurred and services provided pursuant to this Agreement, and shall make such information available at its office during the Purchase Period and for four years from the date of final payment of Reimbursement Obligations under this Agreement, until completion of all audits, or until pending litigation has been completely and fully resolved, whichever occurs last. The State Auditor may conduct an audit or investigation of any Bankholder receiving funds directly under this Agreement or indirectly through a participation agreement permitted pursuant to this Agreement. Acceptance of funds directly under this Agreement or indirectly through a participation agreement acts as acceptance of the authority of the State Auditor, under the direction of the legislative audit committee, to conduct an audit or investigation in connection with those funds. An entity that is the subject of an audit or investigation must provide the State Auditor with access to any information the State Auditor considers relevant to the investigation or audit.
Accounting and Audits Criteria Architect must establish and maintain books, records, and systems of account, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, reflecting all business operations of Criteria Architect transacted under this Agreement. Criteria Architect shall retain these books, records, and systems of account during the Term of this Agreement and for three (3) years thereafter. Pursuant to Government Code Section 8546.7, this Agreement is subject to examination and audit of the State Auditor as specified in the code. Criteria Architect shall permit the Judicial Council, its agent, other representatives, or an independent auditor to audit, examine, and make excerpts, copies, and transcripts from all books and original records, and to make audit(s) of all billing statements, invoices, original records, and other data related to the Services covered by this Agreement. Audit(s) may be performed at any time, provided that the Judicial Council shall give reasonable prior Notice to Criteria Architect and will conduct audit(s) during Criteria Architect’s normal business hours, unless Criteria Architect otherwise consents. If an audit or Judicial Council internal review reveals that the Criteria Architect and/or its Subconsultant(s) have overcharged the Judicial Council, Criteria Architect will immediately pay to the Judicial Council the overcharged amount plus interest from the date of receipt of overpayment. The rate of interest will be equal to eighteen percent (18%) per year, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less. The audit or Judicial Council internal review will be conducted at the Judicial Council’s expense, unless the audit or review reveals that the Criteria Architect and/or its Subconsultant(s) has overcharged the Judicial Council by ten percent (10%) or more on any invoice, in which case the Criteria Architect will reimburse the Judicial Council for all costs and expenses incurred by the Judicial Council in connection with such audit or review, including direct and indirect costs associated with Judicial Council representatives. This remedy shall not be exclusive to any other remedies available to the Judicial Council including, without limitation, a claim against the Criteria Architect for a False Claim pursuant to the False Claims Act (Gov. Code § 12650, et seq.) IMS/Monetary Penalties. The Judicial Council shall be entitled to remedy any “False Claims,” as defined in California Government Code section 12650 et seq., made to the Judicial Council by the Criteria Architect or any Sub-Consultant under the standards set forth in Government Code section 12650 et seq. Any Criteria Architect or Sub-Consultant who submits a False Claim shall be liable to the Judicial Council for three (3) times the amount of damages that the Judicial Council sustains from the False Claim. If Criteria Architect and/or Sub-Consultant submits a False Claim, they shall also be liable to the Judicial Council for: (a) the costs, including attorney fees, of a civil action brought to recover any of those penalties or damages, and (b) a civil penalty of up to $10,000 for each false claim. Accounting System Requirements. Criteria Architect shall maintain and shall ensure that its Sub-Consultant(s) maintain, an adequate system of accounting and internal controls that meets GAAP. The obligations of this Section shall survive the expiration of and any termination of this Agreement.

Sponsor’s and/or authorized designee’s access is subject to reasonable safeguards to ensure confidentiality of medical records and systems.
ACCOUNTING AND AUDIT 5.2.1 The Contractor shall maintain and keep accurate Project records (which mean all tangible records, documents, computer printouts, electronic information, books, plans, drawings, specifications, accounts or other information) relating to the Work for a period of seven (7) years from the date of Substantial Performance of the Work.
