CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION <br /> POLICY <br /> <br />PURPOSE <br /> <br />tt is the purpose of this Policy to create and maintain an efficient and uniform process <br />in the administration of contracts that is consistent with the stewardship and objectives <br />of Cabarrus County pursuant to the current Purchasing Policy; and, that provides the <br />County with the most proficient product and/or service provider. It will also be the <br />intent of the County to consolidate contracts when appropriate in order to reduce paper <br />flow and administrative costs. <br /> <br />OVERVW~W <br /> <br />The County enters into many various contracts. Developing a system to organize all <br />contracts is a difficult task; however, there are several general rules that should be <br />followed: <br /> <br />The Department Head, County Manager or Chairman of the Board of <br />Commissioners should sign contracts according to levels defined. (County <br />Manager may assign some contract signing authority) <br />If a contract is in writing, an original should be kept in the contract file (in <br />the Purchasing Agent's Office) <br />If the contract causes the County to spend money, it should be pre-audited <br />and encumbered. <br /> <br />G.S. 159-28 (a) states that if an obligation is evidenced by a contract or agreement <br />requiring payment of money, the contract or agreement shall include on its face a <br />certificate stating that the instrument has been pre-audited. The certificate, which shall <br />be signed by the finance officer or.any deputy finance officer approved for this purpose <br />by the governing board, shall take substantially the following form: <br /> <br />"This instrument has been pre-audited in the manner required by the Local <br />Government Budget and Fiscal Control Act. ~ <br /> <br />G.S. 159-28 (a) also states that an obligation incurred in violation of this subsection is <br />invalid and may not be enforced and the finance officer shall establish procedures to <br />assure compliance with this subsection. <br /> <br />Although not all contracts obligate the County to make a payment of money, it is <br />nevertheless important to have a system that organizes and catalogs all contracts <br />involving the County. <br /> <br />CONTRACT PROCEDURES <br /> <br />The Contract Administrator (appointed by the Finance Director) shall <br />maintain all original contracts. The Contract Administrator will assign <br />each new contract a Contract Control Number. <br /> <br /> <br />
