Since the beginning of fiscal year 2008, Contract Administration has focused on revising the existing contract so that there was a standardized template for Contract Administrators to use. With the revisions there is also a reduction in the paperwork for service providers. A checklist included with the contract is a guide for you to follow to ensure that the contract is correct when returned to DSS. Following the checklist will enable DSS to process your contract quickly and avoid a delay in service to our customers and payment to you.
Effective with new contracts for Fiscal Year 2008-2009, the letter regarding taxes and the conflict of interest is included in the body of the contract and does not have to be notarized. The last page of the contract must be signed by an authorized official with your agency/company and notarized by a Notary Public which means that we will no longer require the contract to be attested.
Another change to the contract was the introduction of a Project Manager. The Project Manager will have content area expertise and decision making authority to manage programmatic procedures as outlined in the contract Description of Service. The Project Manager will work alongside the Contract Administrator to ensure that the service provider delivers quality services, invoices are submitted and paid and monitoring for compliance is completed as stated in the contract.
Contract Administrators will forward contracts to approved service providers via email by June 20, 2008. It is imperative for you to return the contract promptly.
If you have any questions regarding your contract, please do not hesitate to contact me at 704 432-3482.
It is a pleasure to work with you while we provide the best possible services to our customers.
