DOA-735 (revised 6/09) 12. Audit/Assessment Resolutions and Disallowed Cost. It is further understood that the community service providers are responsible to the Area Agency for clarifying any audit exceptions that may arise from any Area Agency assessment, county or community service provider single or financial audit, or audits conducted by the State or Federal Governments. In the event that the Area Agency or the Department of Health and Human Services disallows any expenditure made by the community service provider for any reason, the County shall promptly repay such funds to the Area Agency once any final appeal is exhausted in accordance with paragraph nine (9). The only exceptions are if the Area Agency on Aging is designated as a community service provider through the County Funding Plan or, if as a part of a procurement process, the Area Agency on Aging enters into a contractual agreement for service provision with a provider, which is in addition to the required County Funding Plan formats. In these exceptions, the Area Agency is responsible for any disallowed costs. The County or Area Agency on Aging can recoup any required payback from the community service provider in the event that payback is due to a community service provider's failure to meet OMB Circular A- 122 requirements, requirements of A-110, requirements of 45CFR, Part 1321, and 45CFR, Part 92, or state eligibility requirements as specified in policy. 13. Indemnity. The County agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Area Agency, its agents, and employees from and against and all loss, cost, damages, expenses, and liability arising out of performance under this Agreement to the extent of errors or omissions of the County. 14. Equal Employment Opportunity and Americans With Disabilities Act Compliance. Both the County and community service providers, as identified in paragraph one (1), shall comply with all federal and state laws relating to equal employment opportunity and accommodation for disability. 15. Data to be Furnished to the County. All information which is existing, readily available to the Area Agency without cost and reasonably necessary, as determined by the Area Agency's staff, for the performance of this Agreement by the County shall be furnished to the County and community service providers without charge by the Area Agency. The Area Agency, its agents and employees, shall fully cooperate, with the County in the performance of the County's duties under this Agreement. 16. Rights in Documents, Materials and Data Produced. The County and community service providers agree that at the discretion of the Area Agency, all reports and other data prepared by or for it under the terms of this Agreement shall be delivered to, become and remain, the property of the Area Agency upon termination or completion of the work. Both the Area Agency and the County shall have the right to use same without restriction or limitation and without compensation to the other. For the purposes of this Agreement, "data" includes writings, sound recordings, or other graphic representations, and works of similar nature. No reports or other documents produced in whole or in part under this Agreement shall be the subject of an application for copyright by or on behalf of the County. 7 of 10
