Rule 27-4726 - PAYMENT REQUESTS

4726.1

Requests for payment must be submitted in writing by the contractor. Payment shall not be authorized without a valid written contract.

4726.2

Contractor payment requests shall:

(a) Certify that the contractor is entitled to payment in the requested amount; and

(b) Include or attach any information necessary to demonstrate entitlement to the requested payment under the contract's terms.

4726.3

Depending on the contract's payment provisions, a payment request may consist of, for example, a statement that specified work has been completed in a satisfactory manner, documentation showing that contract deliverables have been accepted by the Office, or information detailing the reimbursable costs incurred by the contractor.

4726.4

Unless the Contracting Officer authorizes the payments, they shall not be made. A Contracting Officer's payment authorization shall not preclude the Department from seeking repayment or pursuing other remedies if it subsequently concludes that the contractor was overpaid or otherwise mispaid.

4726.5

In addition to the Contracting Officer's payment authorization, the Department's CFO or his or her designee shall certify and approve all payment requests prior to making any payment.
