The Contractor acknowledges that it has received copies of the LEAF Contract Management Manual, the Application Guidelines, and the State Highway Safety Rules. The Contractor shall comply with all terms and conditions of this Contract. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Contract and the terms of the incorpo­rated materials, the following priority shall be used to resolve such conflict:

   A. State Highway Safety Rules; then

B. LEAF Contract Management Manual and Guidelines; then  

C. This Contract; then

D. Attachments A, B, C, in that order; then

 State's maximum (from LEAF)  $24,000    TOTAL AMOUNT  $24,000  

The State shall use LEAF funds exclusively to pay for the actual costs incurred by the Contractor for the project work up to the State's maximum. If the Contractor incurs project costs which exceed the Attachment C budget amount without first obtaining an approval in that amount by written contract amendment, the Contractor shall be solely responsible for the payment of such excess costs.

The State budget amount will be provided solely from LEAF funds. Any obligation of the State under this Contract is contingent upon LEAF funds being available for this Con­tract. The State will pay the Contractor for actual costs incurred on a quarterly basis, subject to prior review and approval by the State of work performance and pursuant to payment procedures contained in the LEAF Contract Manual.

6. The Contractor agrees that any subcontracts entered into by the Contractor under this Contract must meet all applicable State and Federal requirements and must be approved by the Office of Transportation Safety prior to execution by the Contractor.

7. a) Termination Due to Loss of Funding. The parties hereto express­ly recognize that the Contractor is to be paid, reimbursed, or otherwise compensated solely with certain funds provided to the State for the purpose of contracting for the services provided for herein. Therefore, the Con­tractor expressly understands and agrees that all its rights, demands and claims to compensation arising under this Contract are contingent upon receipt of such funds by the State. In the event that such funds or any part thereof are not received by the State, the State may immediately terminate this Contract.

b) Termination for Cause. If, through any cause, the Contractor shall fail to fulfill in a timely and proper manner the obligations under this Contract, or shall violate any of the covenants, agreements or stipulations of this Contract, the State shall thereupon have the right to terminate this Contract for cause by giving written notice to the Contractor such termination and specifying the effective date thereof, at least thirty (30) days before the effective date of such termination. In that event, all finished or unfinished documents, data, studies, surveys, drawings, maps, models, photographs, and reports of other material prepared by the Contractor under this Contract shall, at the option of the State, become its property, and the Contractor shall be entitled to receive just and equitable compensation for any satisfactory work completed on such documents and other materials.

Notwithstanding the above, the Contractor shall not be re­lieved of liability to the State for any damages sustained by the State party by virtue of a breach of the Contract by the Contractor, and the State may withhold any payments to the Contractor for the purpose of setoff until such time as the exact amount of damages due the State from the Contractor is determined.

c) Termination for Convenience. The State may terminate this Contract at any time that it determines that the purpose of the distribu­tion of monies under the Contract would no longer be served by completion of the Project. The State shall effect such termination by giving written notice of termination to the Contractor and specifying the effective date thereof, at least twenty (20) days before the effective date of such termi­nation.

Neither the contractor nor any agent or employee of the contractor shall be, or shall be deemed to be, an agent or employee of the state, and they shall have no authorization, express or implied, to bind the state to any agreements, settlements, liability, or understanding except as expressly set forth herein. The contractor shall be responsible to the state for the ultimate results of performance required hereunder but shall not be subject to the direction and control of the state as to the means and methods of accomplishing the results. The specifications in this contract of particular performance standards the state deems essential to proper performance and contract value shall in no event be deemed to alter this relationship. Contractor shall pay when due all required employment taxes and income tax withholding, including all federal and state income tax on any moneys paid pursuant to this grant contract.

The contractor shall provide and keep in force worker's compensation (and show proof of such insurance) and unemployment compensation insurance in the amounts required by law, and shall be solely responsible for the acts of the contractor, its employees and agents. The contractor acknowledges that contractor and its employees are not entitled to the benefits of worker's compensation insurance or unemployment insurance unless the contractor or a third party provides such coverage and that the state does not pay for or otherwise provide such coverage.
