The City of Orange is interested in knowing what approval process and payment authorizations are required for the payment of: 1) a construction progress payment, 2) a final construction project payment to the contractor, and 3) authorization for release of retention after filing the Notice of Completion with the County. We are currently requiring an Engineer's (staff) signature, the Public Works Director and the Finance Director to all approve all payments to contractors. We are looking for ways to streamline this process. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Richard Jacobs, Assistant Finance Director (714) 744-2235
