POLICY OBJECTIVE

To establish system wide contracting and procurement policy as required by Education Code 89036.

POLICY STATEMENT

There are standard CSU contracting forms available for use by a campus for a variety of functional applications. Campuses should review the appropriateness of each form prior to use and should consult with their CSU-assigned representative from the Office of General Counsel prior to any deletions, additions, or significant variations from the format or content of a standard form developed and approved for systemwide use.

100 Standard Terms and Conditions (Rev. 04/28/08 – formerly Policy 410 and 411)

It is the campus’s responsibility to include, in each contract, terms and conditions necessary to protect the interests of the CSU, comply with applicable laws, reasonably mitigate risks and provide best value to the CSU. Standard terms and conditions have been developed for campus use and are available at:

http://www.calstate.edu/CSP/crl/GP/GP.shtml

While the standard terms and conditions may be used for many contracts without modification, it may be necessary to add, delete or modify the terms and conditions for a specific contract to convey a clear understanding of each party's expected role, its obligations, and the parameters in which the activities must be carried out, under the contract.
