Contracted Services

The District will contract with individuals or companies for certain services or programs. The term “independent contractor” is used in these instances to denote Non-District personnel performing such services or programs on District property or on behalf of the District. An independent contractor usually maintains an office and usually provides the equipment and materials necessary for completing or performing a service.

 

The services provided may be subject to competitive procurement depending on the value of the services or program to be provided. As soon as the requirement for the desired services or program is identified, the campus or department should contact the Purchasing Department to determine the proper procurement method.

 

Computer Hardware, Software and Maintenance Agreements

Requests for computers and related equipment, such as software and maintenance must be coordinated and approved by the Technology Department regardless of funds used.
