The campus department funding the project should complete the Request for Services form, which is available in a Microsoft Word format. A Sole Source Justification form must also be completed if the agreement to hire an INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT is $50,000 or more and competitive proposals have not been solicited. The completed documents should be attached to an email and sent for processing. A paper copy of the request is also required and must have an original signature authorizing the preparation of the contract. This must be received by the Contracts & Property Office. Please provide a copy of the approved budget if non-state funds are being used.

The Contracts & Property Office will prepare a draft of the contract and send an email version of it to you for review and recommendations. After your department has approved the draft, please send to your Provider for their signature. Before Business Services will approve, the Provider and the Campus Department must sign each copy of the contract and provide any required insurance certificates as stated in the contract.
