The ROOT shall <br /> establish a Central Payments Account and process payments on behalf of the <br /> participating Agencies from that account. One or more of the Agencies may, at their own <br /> expense, audit the performance of the financial services provided by the ROOT under <br /> this Agreement. Upon reasonable notice, during normal working hours, ROOT staff shall <br /> provide such Agency auditors access to its facilities for copying the records of its actions <br /> and decisions while performing financial services as the ROOT. <br /> 8.8.2 Each Agency agrees to make payments promptly, and consistent with the deadlines set <br /> forth in business procedures established by the ROOT Agency. <br /> 8.8.3 The cost of agency-specific goods and services and any other agency-specific costs shall <br /> be fully paid by the requesting Agency in addition to its cost sharing commitment under <br /> this Agreement. The Agency will coordinate the payment of invoices for agency-specific <br /> costs owed to an ORCA Vendor, with the ORCA Director as necessary. <br /> 8.8.4 The ROOT shall not be obliged to disburse funds from the Central Payment Account <br /> unless balances in the account are sufficient to cover the disbursement. In the event that <br /> one or more agencies do not remit within the prescribed timeframes, the ROOT may <br /> disburse to an ORCA Vendor up to the amounts received in respect of that vendor's <br /> invoice (also referred to as short payment of vendor invoice). <br /> 8.8.5 Each Agency shall be responsible and liable to the other Agencies for interest and other <br /> costs, claims or liabilities of any kind that result from late payment by the Agency, and <br /> the late-paying Agency shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other Agencies <br /> from such costs, claims or liabilities resulting from the late payment.
