11. Orange County is an equal opportunity employer, implements non-discriminatory practices in its procurement/disbursement and will make special outreach efforts to include M/WBE (Minority/Women business Enterprise) businesses within its contractor and subcontractor pool. DISBURSEMENT POLICY 1. All repair work must be inspected by (a) an Orange County Rehabilitation Specialist, and (b) the homeowner prior to any payments to contractors. If all work is deemed satisfactory and all other factors and written agreements are in order, payment shall be issued upon presentation of an original invoice from the contractor. Contractor should allow 21 business days for processing of the invoice for payment. A signed approval certificate of final inspection from an Orange County Building Code Inspector will be required for any trade or building permits required on URP17 projects. 2. If any of the work is deemed unsatisfactory, it must be corrected prior to authorization of payment. If the contractor fails to correct the work to the satisfaction of the County's Rehabilitation Specialist, payment may be withheld until such time the work is satisfactory. (Contractors may follow Orange County Urgent Repair Program Assistance Policy if a dispute occurs; however, contractors shall abide by the final decision as stated in the policy). 3. The County assures, through this policy, that adequate funds shall be available to pay the contractor for satisfactory work. 4. All contractors, sub-contractors and suppliers must sign a lien waiver prior to disbursement of funds. The Procurement and Disbursement Policies are adopted this the 6 day of June 2017.
