• The Chair of the Board, Chancellor and Presidents are the only individuals authorized to sign and execute agreements on behalf of City Colleges of Chicago regardless of value.
• No District officer or employee, without express authorization, shall make any purchases or enter into a verbal or written purchase contract on behalf of the Board
• Any contract made in violation of State law, or Board rules, policies and procedures is VOID as to the Board
4 4

The following purchasing dollar thresholds provide the requirements that are approved by the Board of
Trustees:
• Purchases of less than $2,500: Competitive bidding is not required. Such items may be purchased from any vendor offering the required goods or services at a reasonable price. Price comparison is highly recommended.
• Purchases of $2,500 and up to $25,000 require three price quotations in writing. The quotations must be summarized on the bid recapitulation sheet and attached to the requisition form. At least one of the three vendors must be a certified MBE/WBE vendor. If a sole source vendor, attach an updated vendor letter.
• Purchases in excess of $25,000 formal competitive bidding is required. Formal competitive bidding requires that the initiating department prepare written specifications describing the required goods or services. The specifications must be submitted via e-mail to the Department of Procurement Services
( procurementservices@ccc.edu
) and with copy to the College Executive Director of Business Operations to ensure that the specifications are complete and in the proper form. Specifications shall be prepared as objectively as possible, so that the advantage provided to any particular vendor is based on the appropriateness of that vendor’s product.
The Procurement Policy remains consistent with Illinois
Public Community College Act.

The Travel Conference Leave Pre-Approval Process Part I
Complete part I of the Travel Conference leave form found on the employee portal at
( http://portal.intranet.co.ccc.edu/finance/default.aspx
) and have it properly approved for all travel expenses including prepaid expenses which include registration fees, and airline/transportation costs.
• Supporting documentation, such as quotes must be submitted with the form at least 30 days prior to scheduled date of attendance or the early registration deadline.
• Include an official announcement , agenda or invitation to the conference, seminar or training.
– Registration Fees –CCC pays the early registration rate for any conference, seminar or training; therefore early submission of the form and supporting documentation is necessary to avoid missing the early registration cut off date.
–
–
Hotels – Are a reimbursable expense for employees. When making reservations, request government rates and compare these rates to the conference rates prior to making hotel reservations. Every effort should be made to obtain the lowest possible rate.
Car Rental - requires prior approval on the conference leave form and an explanation to substantiate the expense.
– Meal Allowance and Incidentals – Must be estimated using the US General Services
Administration website http://www.gsa.gov/portal/category/21287 . These rates are based on the destination city. o o o
First and last day of travel is to be calculated at 75% of per diem rate
Per diem rates include incidentals (e.g., tips for meals and bellman)
Any meals provided as part of a conference should not be included as part of the meal expense request; therefore the daily rate should be lowered to exclude these meals since CCC would not be reimbursing the traveler. The GSA website, noted above, breaks down the per diem and incidentals for each rate for your convenience.
64

Travel Conference Leave Reimbursements
Process Part II
Part II: Supporting documents that should be included are:
