Prompt Payment Certification

In accordance with the requirements of Article 9.9, submit this certification to the Engineer prior to the end of the month as follows

  • each month payment received (example: Work performed in January. Contractor paid in February. Contractor must submit certification no later than the end of March) and
  • the month following the month when final acceptance occurred (example: Final acceptance occurs in January. Contractor must submit the final certification no later than the end of February).

Note that the Contractor may make final submission prior to acceptance, if all subcontractor work is complete and all supplier materials have been furnished for the project, and the subcontractors' and suppliers' final payments have been made in full.

Failure to submit this form or provide prompt payment in accordance with the contract may result in the Engineer withholding payment or suspending the work. This certification is applicable to materials the Contractor purchases to remain as part of the final project, to first-tier subcontractors on the project and associated project specific locations (subcontractors and suppliers are to comply with the prompt payment requirements).
