An AAA may negotiate modifications or revisions to assure that all necessary service/program requirements are covered.(2) A statement that "the contractor agrees not to use contract funds to pay the salary or expenses of any individual who is engaging in activities designed to influence legislation or appropriations pending before the Congress."(3) Language permitting budget reduction in the event the service levels specified in the bid/proposal are not attained.(4) All of the applicable information specified in 45 CFR 92.36(i).(5) Any information pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 3026 that must be included in agreements with service providers, such as the identity of each focal point and requirements with respect to the provision of services to low income minorities.(b) Contract awards shall be limited to a one-year period. However, at the discretion of the AAA, contracts may be renegotiated up to a maximum of three additional one-year periods providing such incremental periods were specified in the IFB/RFP. During renegotiations, the AAA shall consider actual expenditures and units of service, as well as current cost policy standards and changes in program requirements. The AAA shall assure that all cost increases are reasonable and necessary and are not the result of underbidding in the original proposal.(c) Both ongoing and new contract awards shall be in full contract compliance within 120 days of the beginning date of the contract. The AAA shall evaluate the contractor's capacity to fulfill contract goals if full compliance by this time period has not occurred.Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 22, § 7364
