<br />If providing direct client care, services, or programs, PERFORMING AGENCY shall implement RECEIVING <br />AGENCY's policies based on the model IllV/AIDS (human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency <br />syndrome) workplace guidelines, and PERFORMING AGENCY shall educate employees and clients concerning <br />IllV and its related conditions, including AIDS, in accordance with the Health and Safety Code, ~~85.112-114. <br /> <br />ARTICLE 28. Sanctions <br /> <br />RECEIVING AGENCY may impose sanctions for any breach of contract, and will monitor PERFORMING <br />AGENCY for both programmatic and financial compliance. RECEIVING AGENCY may, at its own discretion, <br />impose one or more sanctions for each item of noncompliance and will determine sanctions on a case-by-case basis. <br />A state or federal statute, rule, regulation, or federal guideline will prevail over the provisions of this Article unless <br />the statute, rule, regulation, or guideline can be read together with the provision(s) of this Article to give effect to <br />both. <br /> <br />RECEIVING AGENCY may: <br /> <br />A. terminate all or a part of the contract. Termination is the permanent withdrawal of PERFORMING <br />AGENCY's authority to obligate previously awarded funds before that authority would otherwise expire <br />or the voluntary relinquishment by PERFORMING AGENCY of the authority to obligate previously <br />awarded funds. PERFORMING AGENCY costs resulting from obligations incurred by PERFORMING <br />AGENCY after termination of an award are not allowable unless expressly authorized by the notice of <br />termination. Termination does not include: (I) withdrawal of funds awarded on the basis of <br />PERFORMING AGENCY's underestimate of the unobligated balance in a prior period; (2) withdrawal <br />ofthe unobligated balance as of the expiration of a contract; (3) refusal to extend a contract or award <br />additional funds, to make a competing or noncompeting continuation, renewal, extension, or <br />supplemental award; or (4) voiding of a contract upon determination that the award was obtained <br />fraudulently, or was otherwise illegal or invalid from inception; <br /> <br />B. suspend all or part of the contract. Suspension is, depending on the context, either (1) the temporary <br />withdrawal of PERFORMING AGENCY's authority to obligate funds pending corrective action by <br />PERFORMING AGENCY or its subrecipient(s) or pending a decision to terminate or amend the contract, <br />or (2) an action taken by a suspending official in accordance with agency regulations implementing <br />Executive Order 12549 to immediately exclude a person from participating in contract transactions for <br />a period, pending completion of an investigation and such legal or debarment proceedings as may ensue. <br />PERFORMING AGENCY costs resulting from obligations incurred by PERFORMING AGENCY <br />during a suspension are not allowable unless expressly authorized by the notice of suspension; <br /> <br />C. disallow (deny both use of funds and matching credit for) all or part of the activities or action not in <br />compliance; <br /> <br />D. temporarily withhold cash payments. Temporarily withholding cash payments means the temporary <br />withholding of advances or reimbursements to PERFORMING AGENCY or its subrecipient(s) for <br />proper charges or obligations incurred, pending resolution of issues of noncompliance with contract <br />conditions or indebtedness to the United States or to the State of Texas; <br /> <br />E. permanently withhold cash payments. Permanent withholding of cash payment means that RECEIVING <br />AGENCY retains funds billed by PERFORMING AGENCY or its subrecipient(s) for a) unallowable, <br /> <br />(LGS) <br /> <br />2001 GENERAL PROVISIONS Page 18 <br /> <br />4/00 <br />
