Review and verification will generally be accomplished as part of a periodic construction progress meeting. When possible, apparent differences between the requests for payment and work or material will be resolved so that the request for payment may be signed by the director's on-site representative, the contractor and the designer prior to conclusion of the progress meeting. When necessary, the payment request will be transmitted to the department/agency. The department/agency shall sign and return the payment request to the division within five (5) working days after receipt of the payment request.(A) Projects Costing One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or More.

Payment for labor and materials on projects costing less than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) shall be made in accordance with section 8.270, RSMo. (C) Final Payment. Final payment will not be made until all work under the contract has been completed and accepted, documentation as required by the director has been furnished, and project records have been delivered to the director's on-site representative. After review and approval of the requests for payment, reports, records, and other documentation by the director or his/her designee, final payment may be made.(D) Projects Supported with Non-Appropriated Funds. All payments for projects supported directly with donated, grant, or other funding not appropriated by the General Assembly shall be made in accordance with agreements established in the initial coordination of that project and after approval of the director or his/her designee.(2) Acceptance and Occupancy.(A) Acceptance. After completion of all work (including deficiencies or discrepancies noted in the final inspection) and delivery of project records, the director or his/her designee shall issue final payment acknowledging acceptance of the project.(B) Occupancy. The employees of the department/agency shall not occupy the facility or area where the project work is performed until after acceptance by the director. In exceptional circumstances, the director may establish conditions for occupancy prior to final acceptance.(C) Project Records. The division shall deliver one (1) copy of project shop drawings, operation and maintenance manuals, record drawings, warranties, and all other pertinent files to a representative of the department/agency. The department/agency shall cause these records to be preserved and stored at the project site or other suitable location for reference in future work at the site.(D) Reporting Changes in Facility Conditions.
