Section 165:27-7-11 - Purchase order procedures
(a) Purchase order proposals are designed for pre-approval of work that is to be performed. Purchase orders shall not be issued on work that has been completed without pre-approval.
(1) All purchase orders must use the appropriate standardized method for a particular scope of work.
(2) All purchase order requests must be submitted online within the required timeframe by the Licensed Environmental Consultant.
(3) All purchase order requests submitted will be reviewed and responded to within thirty (30) days.
(4) If the purchase order request is approved as submitted, the PSTD staff will notify the Licensed Environmental Consultant and eligible person with the assigned purchase order number and a list of the required documents that will support the completed scope of work as described in the purchase order proposal at the agreed upon price.
(5) If the purchase order request is not approved as submitted, the PSTD staff will contact the Licensed Environmental Consultant or eligible person concerning the necessary changes required or will schedule a meeting, if needed.
(A) The Licensed Environmental Consultant will then make the agreed revisions and resubmit online the final purchase order to PSTD within the required timeframe.
(B) When PSTD staff recommends revisions to the purchase order request, the Licensed Environmental Consultant or eligible person will have thirty (30) days from notification of revisions to respond and submit a final purchase order proposal. If the consultant or eligible person does not respond within thirty (30) days, the purchase proposal as originally submitted is void.
(C) Unless agreed upon by PSTD, the eligible person and the Licensed Environmental Consultant, in writing, any purchase orders that have not been completed and submitted for payment within 120 days after the scope of work completion date are null and void.
(6) In the event the Licensed Environmental Consultant, eligible person, and PSTD cannot agree upon reasonable terms, the purchase order request shall be void and the following shall apply:
(A) Work will then proceed on a Work Plan basis with documentation, as provided for in 17 O.S. §327.3(C), required for reimbursement; and
(B) Multiple submissions of purchase orders for the same or similar scopes of work will only be considered at the discretion of PSTD.
(b) Change orders must be submitted prior to performing work not included in the scope of work set forth in the approved purchase order, which will require pre-notification to and pre-approval by the Technical staff, unless the total additional costs are less than five percent (5%) of the approved purchase order. Documentation will be required to explain additional work completed and to justify additional costs. All requests for reimbursement of costs not incurred in the approved purchase order will be reviewed at the discretion of the Fund.
(c) Reimbursement format and requirements for purchase orders include the following:
(1) All scope(s) of work described in the approved purchase order must be completed in full, required reports submitted within the required timeframe and approved by PSTD, before reimbursement is requested, unless other payment terms are pre-approved by the PSTD and set forth with specificity in the purchase order.
(2) All purchase orders being submitted for reimbursement will contain:
(A) A copy of the approved purchase order (and change order, if applicable).
(B) Required documentation.
(d) Reimbursement claims on purchase orders will be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt.
