If, and to the extent, overnight lodging in western Washington is authorized, Service Provider is strongly encouraged to lodge within the corporate limits of City. When authorized, Service Provider will be reimbursed 100% of lodging expense, if lodged within the corporate limits of the City, but Service Provider will be reimbursed 50% of lodging expense when lodged outside the corporate limits of the City. If authorized, the City may (at its sole option) obtain or arrange air travel for Service Provider. D. Total compensation, including all services and expenses, shall not exceed the Maximum Compensation Amount in the Basic Provisions. E. If Service Provider fails or refuses to correct its work when so directed by the City, the City may withhold from any payment otherwise due an amount that the City in good faith believes is equal to the cost to the City of correcting, re-procuring, or remedying any damage caused by Service Provider’s conduct. 5. Method of Payment. A. To obtain payment, Service Provider shall (a) file its request for payment, accompanied by evidence satisfactory to the City justifying the request for payment; (b) submit a report of Work accomplished and hours of all tasks completed; (c) to the extent reimbursement of Eligible Expenses is sought, submit itemization of such expenses and, if requested by the City, copies of receipts and invoices; and (d) comply with all applicable provisions of this Agreement. Service Provider shall be paid no more often than once every thirty days. B. All requests for payment should be sent to the City Project Manager Address in the Basic Provisions or to an address designated by the City Project Manager in writing. 6. Submission of Reports and Other Documents. Service Provider shall submit all reports and other documents as and when specified in the Scope of Work.

Service Provider shall abide by the City’s determinations concerning acceptability of Work. 7. Termination of Contract.
