2.6.3 Contract Approval
adopted: Nov-1975
last revised: Jan-1990
The Board of Trustees has ultimate responsibility and authority for all fiscal affairs and contractual obligations of the College District. On some matters, the Board of Trustees reserves final authority; however, certain, clearly defined, contractual matters are delegated to the College President or designee(s) only for review, evaluation, and execution in the interest of efficient operations.
Contracts of less than five (5) years’ duration or not requiring a sealed bid per the Illinois Public Community College Act may be processed and executed administratively without individual approval by the Board of Trustees. All contracts in excess of five (5) years’ duration or requiring a sealed bid process will be presented for approval by the Board of Trustees.
The guidelines regulating the processing of contracts are based upon the requirements of the Illinois Public Community College Act (110 ILCS 805/3-27.1 and 3.38) dealing with leases and related contractual matters and with bidding requirements.
