Comments
The new coded memo has been released by the CO office. Because of this we will now
need to revisit our ATI procurement plan to revise and update prior to implementing
new ATI procurement requirements on our campus.
Once we have revised our ATI Procurement plan we will need to update all
documentation and forms to reflect the newest version of our implementation plan.
As part of the revising of our campus implementation plan, we will look ahead and
determine the requirements of what each addition of our implementation will be for the
future and clear steps for us to follow to reach those goals. This will be completed along
with the updating of our procurement implementation plan.

Comments
With the CSU mastering enabling agreements it would be very helpful for the VPAT
to already have been collected and accessibility evaluated prior to being approved as
a mastering enabling agreement.
We are always interested in receiving guidance from the Chancellor’s Office and in
hearing what other campuses are doing. This assists us in revising our policies and
procedures to make the entire process run smoother. Guidance of any kind on how
to handle procurement card purchases with relation to ATI would be very much
appreciated too, as we have not determined any methods to handle this as of yet
Working with an across campuses committee to create best practices/standards
documentation to bring the campuses closer together in process and language to
assist campuses in need of implementation and to assist other campuses including
ours in streamlining and automation of the process.

Comments
We would like guidance from the Chancellor’s Office as to whether an acceptable route
to equally effective access planning would be to obtain a letter of commitment to
accessibility containing acknowledgement of creating an equally effective action plan
based on the situation that arises for an individual, from the department making the
purchase rather than an equally effective access plan. There are some barriers in the
creation of alternate access plans because of the wide variety of possible
accommodations that may have to be created for one purchase.

would have had 459 requisitions to review instead of 215 requisitions. Our campus processed a total of 904 requisitions containing E&IT products during

We did conduct testing on Pharos PrintSmart during this review year. The product was not a new purchase or up for review this year. Our student service
desk received a complaint from a low vision student on campus. We tested the product both using ATI staff and volunteer students from Services to
Students With Disabilities (SSWD).
SSWD has also been involved in testing of the refresh project for our SacCT/uPortal project using both staff and student volunteers.
Post purchase we are also conducting ATI staff lead testing of ServiceNow which will replace our current problem reporting product.

Due to budgetary restraints there is a shortfall when it comes to testing of products and
services prior to purchase. Because of this we are relying heavily on the VPAT or the
exception document for the accessibility of the product. Collaborating across campuses
for testing so that duplicate efforts are eliminated would be helpful. It would also be
helpful if the CO would include the full accessibility process in the MEA process. It would
greatly help this campus if we could find the VPAT as part of the MEA documentation
along with testing documentation of the product/service.
Assistance developing a more streamlined process and/or automated process for
reviewing requisitions that contain E&IT products/services. Understanding that staffing
resources are limited on our campus and others this will be necessary if we are going to
handle a larger volume of requisitions in the future.
