Payment Not Final Approval. The Consultant understands and agrees that payment to the Consultant for any Project cost does not constitute a City final decision about whether that cost is allowable and eligible for payment under the Project and does not constitute a waiver of any violation of Consultant of the terms of the Agreement. The Consultant acknowledges that City will not make a final determination about the eligibility of any cost until the final payment has been made on the Project or the results of an audit of the Project requested by the City has been completed, whichever occurs latest. If City determines that the Consultant is not entitled to receive any portion of the compensation due or paid, City will notify the Consultant in writing, stating its reasons. The Consultant agrees that Project closeout will not alter the Consultant’s responsibility to return any funds due City as a result of later refunds, corrections, or other similar transactions; nor will Project closeout alter the right of City to disallow costs and recover funds provided for the Project on the basis of a later audit or other review.
