			 bureau of the department shall notify contractors in advance of call-in date
			 changes. Funds are requested by preparation of an electronic funds verification

			 management bureau and is the basis for the Friday wire transfer. In order to
			 establish a wire transfer system for a contractor, bank account information
			 must be received by the department two weeks prior to the first wire transfer
			 of funds. The timing of the contractor's receipt of funds and the disbursement
			 of those funds must be done in a manner that minimizes the time that elapses
			 between those two transactions.
