If all or part of a claim is allowed, the City will notify the Contractor via certified mail that it has allowed all or part of the claim and make appropriate payments to the claimant(s) with City funds. Payments of funds by the City to claimant(s) under this Section will be made on behalf of the Contractor and at the expense of the Contractor, and the Contractor shall be unconditionally obligated to reimburse the City for the “total reimbursement amount”, which is the sum of the amount paid to the claimant(s), plus all costs incurred by the City in evaluating the circumstances surrounding the claim, the allowance of the claim, the amount due to the claimant, and all other direct costs for the City’s administration and payment of the claim on the Contractor’s behalf.
