the statute, rule, regulation, or guideline can be read together with the provision(s) of this Article to give effect to both. RECEIVING AGENCY may: terminate all or a part of the contract. Termination is the permanent withdrawal of PERFORMING AGENCY'S authority to obligate previously awarded funds before that authority would otherwise expire or the voluntary relinquishment by PERFORMING AGENCY of the authority to obligate previously awarded funds. PERFORMING AGENCY costs resulting from obligations incurred by PERFORMING AGENCY after termination of an award are not allowable unless expressly authorized by the notice of termination. Termination does not include: (1) withdrawal of funds awarded on the basis of PERFORMING AGENCY'S underestimate of the unobligated balance in a prior period; (2) withdrawal of the unobligated balance as of the expiration of a contract; (3) refusal to extend a contract or award additional funds, to make a competing or noncompeting continuation, renewal, extension, or supplemental award; or (4) voiding of a contract upon determination that the award was obtained fraudulently, or was otherwise illegal or invalid from inception; suspend all or part of the contract. Suspension is, depending on the context, either (1) the temporary withdrawal of PERFORMING AGENCY'S authority to obligate funds pending corrective action by PERFORMING AGENCY or its subrecipient(s) or pending a decision to terminate or amend the contract, or (2) an action taken by a suspending official in accordance with agency regulations implementing Executive Order 12549 to immediately exclude a person from participating in contract transactions for a period, pending completion of an investigation and such legal or debarment proceedings as may ensue. PERFORMING AGENCY costs resulting from obligations incurred by PERFORMING AGENCY during a suspension are not allowable unless expressly authorized by the notice of suspension; C. disallow (deny both use of funds and matching credit for) all or part of the activities or action not in compliance; temporarily withhold cash payments. Temporarily withholding cash payments means the temporary withholding of advances or reimbursements to PERFORMING AGENCY or its subrecipient(s) for proper charges or obligations incurred, pending resolution of issues of noncompliance with contract conditions or indebtedness to the United States or to the State of Texas; permanently withhold cash payments. Permanent withholding of cash payment means that RECEIVING AGENCY retains funds billed by PERFORMING AGENCY or its subrecipient(s) for a) unallowable, undocumented, disputed, inaccurate, improper, or erroneous billings; b) failure to comply with contract provisions; or c) indebtedness to the United States or to the State of Texas; F. deny contract renewal or future contract awards to a PERFORMING AGENCY; G. delay contract execution with PERFORMING AGENCY while other imposed or proposed sanctions are pending resolution; place PERFORMING AGENCY on probation. Probation means that PERFORMING AGENCY will be placed on accelerated monitoring for a period not to exceed six months at which time items of noncompliance must be resolved or substantial improvement shown by PERFORMING AGENCY; (LGS) 2002 GENERAL PROVISIONS Page 19 04/01
