POLICY OBJECTIVE

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

POLICY STATEMENT

An Interagency Agreement is a negotiated contract between two State agencies for the purpose of conveying one agency's services to the other agency for a price, for exchanged services, or for some other form of authorized consideration. Generally it may contain specific terms and conditions to which each agency has agreed, but is left devoid of indemnification clauses, hold harmless statements, and other legal protective devises standardly employed by the State in contracts with non-State entities.

All Interagency Agreements exceeding $10,000 must contain a provision that the contracting parties shall be subject to the examination and audit of the State Auditor for a period of three years after final payment under the contract. The examination and audit shall be confined to those matters connected with the performance of the contract.
