Subject: <br /> <br />Purpose: <br /> <br />Policy: <br /> <br />Procedure: <br /> <br />Purchase Contracts <br /> <br />The purpose of this procedure is to establish certain criteria for the <br />processing of County contracts. <br /> <br />It shall be the County's policy that all purchase contracts consist of either <br />a valid purchase order or some other written form. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />0 <br /> <br />Contracts for minor construction, the purchase of apparatus, <br />supplies, materials and equipment should originate in the <br />Purchasing Department. A purchase order may suffice as the <br />contract. <br /> <br />For annual contracts originating from the Purchasing Department, <br />a contract (see attached "sample" contracts - Appendix C and <br />Appendix D) form is prepared as deemed necessary signed by the <br />vendor and the Purchasing Agent. The contract includes the <br />contract period, terms, prices and any special provisions. Once a <br />contract is established, all such items must be purchased from that <br />particular contractor. An example of such a contract is General <br />Office Supplies. The Purchasing Agent should always be contacted <br />for information regarding this type of contract. Also, a copy of all <br />contracts will be maintained in the Purchasing Agent's office. <br /> <br />Contracts for major construction projects or professional <br />services shall originate as determined by the County Manager, <br />with a copy submitted to the Purchasing Agent for file purposes. <br /> <br />If a department desires to have specific types of contracts exempt, <br />it will be necessary to submit in writing to the Purchasing Agent <br />outlining the justification. Special permission may be granted on a <br />case by case basis. <br /> <br /> <br />
