PAYMENTS FOR MATERIALS

(a) The payment clause in construction contracts requires the Contracting Officer to make a case-by-case review of a contractor's need for progress payments for materials. Payment for materials will normally not be authorized. If they are authorized, they must be in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) below.

(b) It is not the policy of the Air Force to authorize payment for materials except when material represents a large, high cost, single line item(s) versus large quantities of small dollar materials. Examples of low dollar value materials are lumber, paint, miscellaneous electrical or plumbing supplies, etc. To illustrate, the Air Force may authorize a large transformer valued at $20,000 for payment, but will not authorize $17,000 worth of miscellaneous electrical components.

(c) Payment for materials will be limited to major high cost items only. Work and materials must be stored on site and as such, become the property of the Government, but the contractor is responsible for all materials delivered and work performed until completion and acceptance of the entire construction work. Responsibility of safeguarding material until final inspection and acceptance rests with the contractor. Payment for materials in advance of installation must be made on a separate line item on the AF Form 3064, Contract Progress Schedule.
