Department heads (or their designates) are responsible for receiving and inspecting all deliveries to their departments to ensure that items received conform to the specifications and quantities set forth in the purchase order. All deliveries should be thoroughly inspected to ensure that materials are received in satisfactory condition, and the invoiced price is compared to that on the purchase order. Only after all items on a purchase order have been delivered in an acceptable condition should the departments submit the appropriate forms to the Finance Department so bills may be paid. Each vendor must accept returned items for full credit. All bills will eventually appear on the Vendor List for monthly Board approval. The village will make every effort to comply with ILCS Ch. 230, Act 15, § 5601, the Local Government Prompt Payment Act.
