A contractor asks a town where payment applications should be sent. By when must the town have identified the office or employee that receives them?

Correct Answer

A) Within 10 days after contract award or notice to proceed

Section 218.735(1) requires the local governmental entity to identify the agent, employee, facility or office to which the contractor may submit its payment request, either in the contract or by separate written notice no later than 10 days after the contract award or notice to proceed. The identification matters because submission to that office is what starts the payment clock.

Answer Options
A
Within 10 days after contract award or notice to proceed
B
Within 30 days after contract award or notice to proceed
C
Before the first progress payment is certified
D
Within 10 business days after the first application
