787 The terms and conditions of the cooperative agreement require specific approval by the agency of the collection of information or the collection procedures. 11. DISPUTES A. It is hereby agreed upon that this agreement is subject to the Contract Disputes Act of 1987, as amended (41 U.S.C. 601 -613). B. Except as provided in the Act, all disputes arising under or relating to this agreement shall be resolved under this clause. C. "Claim," as used.in this clause, means a written demand or written assertion by one of the agreement parties seeking, as matter of right, the payment of money in a sum certain, the adjustment or interpretation of agreement terms, or other relief arising under or relating to this agreement. A claim arising under a cooperative agreement, unlike a claim relating to that agreement, is a claim that can be resolved under a cooperative agreement clause that provides for the relief sought by the claimant. However, a written demand or written assertion by the LOCAL GOVERNMENT seeking the payment of money exceeding $100,000 is not a claim under the Act until certified as required by subparagraph D(2) of this clause. A voucher, invoice, or other routine request for payment that is not in dispute when submitted is not a claim under the Act. The submission may be converted to a claim under the Act, by complying with the submission and certification requirements of this clause, if it is disputed either as to liability or amount or is not acted upon in a reasonable time. D. (1). A claim by the LOCAL GOVERNMENT shall be made in writing and, unless otherwise stated in this cooperative agreement, submitted within 3 years after accrual of the claim to the CAO for a written decision: A claim by the Government against the LOCAL GOVERNMENT shall be subject to a written decision by the CAO. (2). The LOCAL GOVERNMENT shall provide the certification specified in subparagraph D(4) of this clause, in writing, when submitting any claim. 15
