Peralta Community College District
Policy 6.84
Board Policy 6.84
Contract Authorization, Chancellor
It is the policy of the Peralta Community College District that the Chancellor be
delegated authority to enter into contracts for District services to the District not to
exceed $25,000 in unrestricted funds, which do not include bond or categories under
other goods and services. The purpose of such authorization is to allow for the timely
contract of necessary professional services. Contracts that either individually or in the
aggregate equal or exceed an amount of up to $25,000 with a single organization,
individual or vendor per fiscal year shall be subject to Board approval. It is anticipated
that such supplemental requests will be rare expections and be accompanied with a
justification for the increase. The law specifically forbids the practice of underbidding
and/or splitting contracts to remain below the stipulated threshold to avoid initial Board
scrutiny and approval of contracts.
At the first Board meeting of the new fiscal year, the Board shall be provided with a list
of contracts from the proceeding fiscal year that includes the date, vendor, description of
service and the total amount of each contract. The Board shall annually set a maximum
budget for expenditures under this policy and be provided with a quarterly statement of
the names of vendors, type of service and the amounts awarded. (Gulassa)
