Charges which appear to be unreasonable will be resolved in accordance with Code of

Virginia, § 2.2-4363 and -4364. Upon determining that invoiced charges are not reasonable, the Commonwealth shall notify the contractor of defects or improprieties in invoices within fteen (15) days as required in Code of Virginia, § 2.2-4351.,. The

The date of mailing of any payment by U. S. Mail is deemed to be payment to the addressee. These provisions apply to each sub-tier contractor performing under the primary contract.
