Certificate_of_final_payment.pdf

This is a Certificate of Final Payment form designed for use by Clay County Fire Rescue in connection with the Firefighter Gear Storage Shed Construction project. The certificate serves as the vendor's attestation that all contract work has been completed in accordance with project specifications and terms, all subcontractors and suppliers have received their proportionate shares of previous progress payments, and remaining subcontractors and suppliers will be paid their final shares within 10 days of the prime contractor's receipt of the final payment. The form includes designated fields for the final payment number, payment due date, vendor name and authorization signature, and certification date, requiring the vendor to affirm under penalty of perjury that all items, amounts, work performance, and material application are correct and complete.

This document functions as the final contractual instrument through which Clay County verifies project completion before releasing final payment to the prime contractor. The certificate's requirement that all subcontractors and suppliers be paid within 10 days of final payment receipt ensures downstream payment obligations are fulfilled and protects all parties involved in the construction work. The form is a standard closing document used in construction contracts exceeding the $200,000 threshold where performance and payment bonds are required, thereby providing the county with documented confirmation of contractual obligation satisfaction prior to final fund disbursement.
