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 <br />County. Such parties are encouraged to seek advice from their own legal counsel. The <br />purpose is to establish the criteria for documenting all County obligations, liabilities and <br />rights with regard to other parties and to create and maintain an efficient and uniform <br />process in the administration of these responsibilities. It is intended to ensure that such <br />matters are handled in a manner that is consistent with excellence in the stewardship of <br />County funds. Adherence to this policy will also ensure that County purchasing and other <br />applicable policies are complied with and will help ensure that the County obtains the most <br />proficient and cost efficient product and/or service providers. A goal is to consolidate <br />contracts when appropriate 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 reasonable sets forth the responsibilities and rights of the parties <br />to 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 />F-5 <br />Page 43 of 48 <br />Attachment number 1 <br />Page 108 <br />
