Article 10 <br />CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION <br />Contract Administration is intended for internal use of Cabarrus County only and is not <br />intended to infer benefits to nor is it to be relied upon by parties contracting with the County. <br />Such parties are encouraged to seek advice from their own legal counsel. The purpose is to <br />establish the criteria for documenting all County obligations, liabilities and rights with regard <br />to other parties and to create and maintain an efficient and uniform process in the <br />administration of these responsibilities. It is intended to ensure that such matters are <br />handled in a manner that is consistent with excellence in the stewardship of County funds. <br />Adherence to this policy will also ensure that County purchasing and other applicable policies <br />are complied with and will help ensure that the County obtains the most proficient and cost <br />efficient product and /or service providers. A goal is to consolidate contracts when appropriate <br />in order to reduce paper flow and administrative costs. <br />I. WRITTEN AGREEMENT REQUIRED <br />Except for emergency situations, as designated by the County Manager, any <br />consideration of any kind given by or to the County must be subject to a written <br />agreement that reasonably sets forth the responsibilities and rights of the parties to <br />the agreement. "Consideration" includes but is not limited to: services, money, <br />personal or real property and time donations — anything of value given by one or <br />both parties to the other. <br />II. REVIEW AND APPROVAL <br />All County contracts must be reviewed or prepared by the County Attorney. This <br />requirement may only be waived in writing by the County Attorney, County <br />Manager or Deputy County Manager. <br />Page 43 of 48 <br />Attachment number 1 <br />F -6 Page 115 <br />
