Section 3-141-402 - Cost principles(a) In order to promote uniform purchasing practices among purchasing agencies that require health and human services, the administrator may, in conjunction with the purchasing agencies, establish cost principles for use in contracts for health and human services.(b) Coordination with federal law. Nothing in this section shall be construed to create an exemption from any cost principle or pricing requirements arising under federal law. Purchasing agencies receiving federal funding shall comply with applicable federal cost principle and pricing requirements, unless the state cost principles are more restrictive, in which case the purchasing agency shall comply with the state cost principles.(c) Waiver for good cause. The head of a purchasing agency may, for good cause, waive compliance with any cost principles established under this section. Such waiver shall be made in writing by the head of the purchasing agency, and shall include an explanation of the circumstances that justify the waiver. The written waiver shall be placed in the contract file, and appropriate notice of the waiver shall be included in the request for proposals, statements of qualifications, or any other solicitation, as applicable.[Eff 6/19/99; comp JAN 23 2006] (Auth: HRS § 103F-106) (Imp: HRS §§ 103F-105, 103F-301)
