<br />COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT NO. ATC020223 <br /> <br />G. If the claim by the LOCAL GOVERNMENT is submitted to the <br />CAO or a claim by the Government is presented to the <br />LOCAL GOVERNMENT, the parties, by mutual consent, may <br />agree to use AOR. If the LOCAL GOVERNMENT refuses an <br />offer for alternative disputes resolution, the LOCAL <br />GOVERNMENT shall inform the CAO, in writing, of the <br />LOCAL GOVERNMENT's specific reasons for rejecting the <br />request. When using arbitration conducted pursuant to <br />5 U.S.C. 575-580, or when using any other AOR technique <br />that the agency elects to handle in accordance with the <br />AORA, any claim, regardless of amount, shall be <br />accompanied by the certification described in <br />subparagraph 0(4) of this clause, and executed in <br />accordance with subparagraph 0(5) of this clause. <br /> <br />H. The Government shall pay interest on the amount <br />found due and unpaid from (1) the date that the CAO <br />receives the claim (certified, if required); or (2) the <br />date that payment otherwise would be due, if that date <br />is later, until the date of payment. With regard to <br />claims having defective certifications, as defined in <br />(FAR) 48 CFR 33.201, interest shall be paid from the <br />date that the CAO initially receives the claim. Simple <br />interest on claims shall be paid at the rate, fixed by <br />the Secretary of the Treasury as provided in the Act, <br />which is applicable to the period during which the CAO <br />receives the claim and then at the rate applicable for <br />each 6-month period as fixed by the Treasury Secretary <br />during the pendency of the claim. <br /> <br />I. The LOCAL GOVERNMENT shall proceed diligently with <br />performance of this agreement, pending final resolution <br />of any request for relief, claim appeal, or action <br />arising under the contract, and comply with any decision <br />of the CAO. <br /> <br />, <br />.. <br /> <br />12.
