Direct Vendor Payment
Denali Borough Code (DBC) 3.20.020 definitions: "Direct Vendor Purchase” occurs when grantees do not have enough funds available to make large purchases (i.e., building materials, prepackaged buildings, insurance coverage), and the borough makes a direct payment to a vendor. The grant manager may authorize a direct vendor payment (DVP) in this situation. All DVPs will be at the discretion of the mayor and will be authorized only when, in the judgment of the mayor, the grantee is unable to secure the purchases through cost reimbursable means.
Direct Vendor Purchase is available for purchases or invoices with an expense total greater than $5,000.00.
If the organization requires assistance for purchases under $5,000.00 they may reach out to the Grant Manager at grants@denaliborough.com on a case by case basis.
