How to Submit a Design or Construction Invoice for payment.

For Design

  • Contracted design firms should send invoices to the sub-grantee and OVRDC for review. Once reviewed and confirmed that the work has been completed, OVRDC will submit the invoice to Ross County for payment. Ross County will then process the invoice and pay the contracted design firm directly.

For Construction

  • Contractors will submit their invoices to the sub-grantee and design firm. After reviewing the invoice and completing the required contractor payment request documents (to be provided by Ross County), the sub-grantee and design firm will submit the required documentation to OVRDC for payment. Invoices must be submitted to OVRDC by 4 PM on Thursday to meet the Friday deadline set by Ross County (see payment calendar below).
