Int. No. 900
By Council Members Lee, Louis, Narcisse and Morano
A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring payment of undisputed invoice amounts under city contracts
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Chapter 1 of title 6 of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended by adding a new section 6-116.3 to read as follows:
§ 6-116.3 Payment of undisputed invoice amounts. a. Definitions. For the purposes of this section the terms “invoice received or acceptance date,” “proper invoice,” and “required payment date” have the same meanings as such terms are defined in section 4-06 of the procurement policy board rules.
b. A contracting agency shall notify the contractor in writing of any disputed portion of an invoice and the basis for such dispute no later than ten business days after the invoice received or acceptance date for such invoice. If a contracting agency determines that an invoice does not constitute a proper invoice due to insufficient documentation, such agency shall notify the contractor in writing of the specific deficiency at such time. Upon such contractor's submission of the required documentation such agency shall treat the corrected invoice as received on the date of such submission for purposes of determining the required payment date.
c. Where a contracting agency disputes any portion of a proper invoice, such agency shall pay the undisputed portion of such invoice by the required payment date. If a contracting agency determines that an invoice does not constitute a proper invoice solely due to insufficient documentation, such agency shall treat any sufficiently documented portion of such invoice as a separate proper invoice for purposes of determining the required payment date.
§ 2. This local law takes effect 180 days after it becomes law.
