					 corporation not be become liable for interest payments shall be calculated from
					 the date of receipt of an invoice.

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) Invoices. To
				initiate any payment pursuant to a contract, a contractor shall submit a proper
				invoice to the authority except where the contract provides that the contractor
				will be paid at predetermined intervals without having to submit an invoice for
				each scheduled payment. A proper invoice shall contain a written request for
				contract payment and shall set forth the description, price and quantity of
				goods or services delivered or rendered in such form and supported by such
				other substantiating documentation as the authority may reasonably require. For
				purposes of these regulations, receipt of an invoice means (1) the date on
				which a proper invoice is actually received by the authority, or (2) the date
				on which the authority receives the purchased goods, property or services
				covered by the proper invoice, whichever is later.
(b) Schedule of payment.
(1) The authority shall make payment under a
				contract within 30 calendar days (excluding legal holidays) after receipt of a
				proper invoice for the amount of the payment then due. Where the contract
				provides that the contractor will be paid at predetermined intervals without
				having to submit an invoice for each scheduled payment, payments shall be made
				by the payment due dates specified in accordance with the contract.
(2) The authority shall have 15 calendar days
				after receipt of an invoice to notify the contractor of:
(i) defects in the delivered goods or
				services;
(ii) defect in the
				invoice; or
(iii) suspected
				improprieties of any kind.
The existence of any defect or impropriety shall prevent the
				  commencement of the 30-day period specified in paragraph (1) of this
				  subdivision, provided that the Authority notifies the contractor of the
				  existence of any such defect or impropriety within 15 calendar days of receipt
				  of the invoice. If such notification is not given within 15 days, the number of
				  days allowed for payment once the defect or impropriety is cured will be
				  reduced by the number of days between the 15th day and the day notification was
				  given.

(a) Payment
				of interest.

				this Part justify extension of the date by which contract payment must be made,
				the authority shall be liable for the payment of interest on the contract
				payment if payment is made later than the date specified in section
				10000.2(b)(1) of
				this Part, in which case interest shall be calculated from the date payment was
