§ 7712. Interagency Transfers
TITLE 1: GOVERNMENT DIVISION 7: PLANNING, BUDGETING AND AUDITING § 7712. Interagency Transfers. (a) Any agency may provide materials, supplies, equipment, work or services to any other agency by mutual agreement. Services so rendered may be on a reimbursable or nonreimbursable basis, as the heads of such agencies may agree. Materials, supplies, and equipment, except in amounts less than $100, shall always be provided on such reimbursement basis as may be agreed upon by the agencies concerned. Reimbursement under this section shall be made either in advance or upon the furnishing of such items or services in the amount of the estimated or actual cost thereof; provided, that any estimate shall be adjusted as close as practical to actual cost when such cost can be determined. (b) (1) Amounts reimbursed pursuant to subsection (a) of this section shall be paid by check or charged to an appropriate account of the agency receiving the items or services, as appropriate. (2) Amounts paid as provided in subsection (b)(1) of this section shall be credited: (A) In the case of advance payments, to special working funds; or (B) In the case of payments other than advance payments, to the appro- priations or funds against which charges have been made, except as other- wise provided in subsection (b)(2) of this section. The Director of Finance shall establish such working funds as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this subsection. Such amounts paid shall be available for ex- penditure in furnishing or replacing the materials, supplies, or equipment, or in performing the work or services, for the objects specified in such ap- propriations or funds. (3) Where materials, supplies, or equipment are furnished from stocks on hand and the head of the furnishing agency determines that their replacement is not necessary, the amounts paid them may be offset against outlays as cred- its to the account of the furnishing agency from which the items were pur- chased or the most closely related account of the agency. The amounts paid shall be recorded and debited in the accounts of the receiving agency. (c) Orders under this section shall be considered as obligations of the agency receiving the items or services in the same manner as orders or contracts placed with private vendors, except that amounts credited to working funds may not be considered obligated until credited to an appropriation or fund of the agency furnishing the items or services or until obligated against such working fund in the usual manner.
