The parties have stipulated that there is lawfully due the claimant the sum of $2,632.50. They further stipulate that, as a result of delay in billing by the claimant, payment was not made prior to the closing of the biennial appropriation.

Where a contract with the State has been (1) properly entered into; (2) services satisfactorily performed, and materials furnished in accordance with such contract; (3) proper charges made therefor; and, (4) adequate funds were available at the time the contract was entered into, this Court will enter an award for the amount due.

Claimant is hereby awarded the sum of $2,632.50.
