Certificate_of_final_payment.pdf

This Certificate of Final Payment document is a standardized form used by Clay County, Florida for the Carl Pugh Park Drainage Improvements project to process final contract payments to the prime contractor. The certificate serves as the vendor's certification that all work has been completed in accordance with contract terms, all materials have been properly applied, and all subcontractors and suppliers have received their pro rata shares from previous progress payments. The vendor must certify that within 10 days of receiving the final progress payment, all subcontractors and suppliers will be paid their remaining pro rata shares for completed work and furnished materials. The form requires completion of the payment number, final payment due date, vendor name, and authorized signature, with space for the date of certification.

The document functions as a contractual mechanism to ensure compliance with payment distribution requirements and subcontractor/supplier protections before the contract is closed out. By signing the certificate, the vendor attests to the accuracy of all amounts shown and confirms adherence to payment obligations outlined in the prime contract. This form is particularly relevant to the Carl Pugh Park project given its anticipated complexity, multiple drainage components requiring coordination with various material suppliers, and the potential involvement of subcontractors for specialized work such as stormwater pond construction and piping installation. The certificate represents a final administrative and contractual checkpoint prior to project closure and completion of all payment obligations.
