All professionals and vendors shall submit vouchers for services rendered in such fashion that the last date reflected in the voucher, for the rending of a service or services to the Township, shall have been performed with 60 days of the date of submission of the claim. For example, a professional or vendor who performs services on a regular basis shall submit a bill for services rendered for the month of January, e.g., by no later than April 1 of the same calendar year. Professionals and vendors whose bills are being charged against escrow accounts shall make every effort to submit their bills in an even more timely fashion. Failure to submit bills within 60 days of the date of rendering services, unless otherwise agreed upon by Township Committee, may result in nonpayment or substantially delayed payment.
All persons requesting refunds of payments made to the Township must submit a written request which would include the payment amount, date of payment, property location (if applicable) and reason for a refund to the Township Administrator or the Township Clerk. Refund requests must be submitted in a timely fashion and no later than 60 days from the date of original payment. Failure to submit refund requests within 60 days from the date of payment, unless otherwise agreed upon by Township Committee, may result in nonpayment or substantially delayed payment. Requests for refunds of street opening escrow amounts do not apply to the aforementioned.
