Consultant Contract for Transit Services— Lubbock Metropolitan Planning Organization & City of Lubbock — 2018 Page 1
payments of the fixed fee based on the amount of work completed by the Consultant. All payments
made hereunder will be made on the basis of reimbursement of actual costs incurred, not to exceed
the limits authorized in this Article. To be eligible for reimbursement, a cost must be incurred
within the Term and be authorized or not prohibited in Exhibit A. All costs must be supported by
source documents which comply with generally accepted accounting practices. Payment of costs
incurred is further governed by cost principles outlined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation, Part
31, Subpart 31.2, Contracts with Commercial Organizations.
Article 3.1 Consideration
The consideration to be paid for the Services shall be on a per -task -completed basis. This
amount shall be invoiced to the MPO monthly as work is performed, or as otherwise agreed to
in writing by the Parties.
Article 3.2 Basis for Compensation
It is understood by the MPO that in some cases the tasks listed in Exhibit A are a continuing
process and that the completion of each task is ongoing. The Consultant may charge the MPO
on a recurring basis throughout the year provided that the MPO is furnished by the fifteenth
(151h) day of each month a detailed description of the task completed including at a minimum:
(1) The number of man-hours used to perform the task;

writing. In the event that the MPO finds that such work does constitute additional work, the MPO
shall so advise the Consultant and provide compensation for doing the work on the same basis as

will make such corrections, and no compensation will be paid for the corrections.
