The City’s preferred method of payment is via credit card.
The City will issue a Purchase Order and, in some cases, either provide a credit card for payment at the time of ordering or pay subsequent invoices by credit card upon receipt of goods or services in good order.
However, not all City employees will possess a credit card and, therefore, the City reserves the right to make payment by check as it deems necessary.
Unless payment is made by credit card at time of order or point of sale, a separate invoice shall be issued for each shipment of material or service performed, and no payment shall be issued prior to receipt of material or service and correct invoice.
The City shall make every effort to process payment for the purchase of materials or services within twenty-one (21) calendar days after receipt of materials or services and a correct invoice.
The Contractor's payment terms shall apply to all purchases and to all payment methods.
