The IG may, on a random basis, perform audits on all County contracts throughout the duration of said contract (hereinafter "random audits"). This random audit is separate and distinct from any other audit by the County. To pay for the functions of the Office of the Inspector General, any and all payments to be made to the Recipient under the Grant Agreement will be assessed one quarter of one percent of the total amount of the payment, to be deducted from each progress payment as the same becomes due unless, as stated in the Code or the Grant Agreement, the Project is federally or state funded and federal or state law or regulations preclude such a charge. The Recipient shall in stating its agreed prices be mindful of this assessment. The IG shall have the power to retain and coordinate the services of an independent private sector inspector general (IPSIG) who may be engaged to perform said random audits, as well as audit, investigate, monitor, oversee, inspect, and review the operations, activities and performance and procurement process including, but not limited to, project design, establishment of bid specifications, bid submittals, activities of the contractor, its officers, agents and employees, lobbyists, County staff and elected officials in order to ensure compliance with contract specifications and detect corruption and fraud.

G) Any of the enforcement actions listed in paragraph F above, taken by the County Manager, which are contested and unresolved between the Recipient and the County within thirty days of such action, will result in the Board providing the Recipient with an opportunity to be heard on the issue. Said hearing will occur within sixty days of the Board receiving the Recipient's written request. Staff will recommend appropriate action to the Board. H) Costs to Recipient resulting from obligations incurred by the Recipient during a suspension or after termination of an award are not eligible for reimbursement unless the County Manager expressly authorizes them in the notice of suspension or termination or subsequently authorizes reimbursement in writing. Other costs incurred by the Recipient during suspension or after termination which are necessary and not reasonably avoidable are eligible for reimbursement if: 1) The costs result from obligations which were properly incurred by the Recipient before the effective date of suspension or termination, were not in anticipation of it, and in the case of a termination, are non-cancelable; and 2) The costs would be eligible for reimbursement if the award was not suspended or if the award expired normally at the end of the funding period in which the termination takes Building Better Communities Administrative Rules 200f22
