Bulletin 97-08

Contract Resources Library (CRL)

POLICY MANUAL UPDATE
The CSU Policy Manual For Contracting & Procurement is included as a component of the on-line Contract Resources Library (CRL) available at www.calstate.edu/csp/. The purpose of this Bulletin and subsequent Bulletins like it is to identify procedures for maintenance of the manual and to provide notification of policy revisions. Effective immediately campuses will be notified of new policy releases via a Bulletin. The latest release number (e.g., #1.1) will always be shown on the cover page of the on-line policy manual. Referencing this on-line release number will ensure the users of any hard copies of the Manual that they are working from the most current version.

Release #1.1 of the Policy Manual is now available at the CS&P web site. It corrects references to reflect current Executive Order status, corrects typographical errors, and specifically revises the following:

Section 214 TAX-EXEMPT FINANCED TRANSACTIONS. Identifies the new role of Auxiliary Planning and Bonds in the review and processing of tax-exempt transactions. Enacts Executive Order 669.

Sections 216 SMALL BUSINESSES. Clarifies the certification procedure.

Section 407 INTERAGENCY AGREEMENTS. New Code Sections are cited that reflect amendments made during the last legislative session.

The Policy Manual is now fully linked via hypertext. Links are available from either the Alpha Index or Table of Contents directly to the designated section in the policy text. Section references citing the California Codes, CSU Executive Orders, and other regulatory instruments are also linked directly to the cited reference.

The Contract Resources Library (CRL) will continue to be updated by posting CSU standard contracting terms, models, forms and contract glossaries as they are developed and made available for web format. Comments and suggestions concerning utilization and effectiveness of the CRL are welcomed.
