How do I contract with the College?

College contracting opportunities are posted on the Purchasing Department’s webpage, see “Current Bidding Opportunities.”

What if I am asked by a College employee to do work that causes my awarded contract price to be exceeded?

Requested work in excess of the amount of the awarded contract should not be performed absent the issuance of a revised College purchase order reflecting the amount of such increase. A contractor who initiates work in excess of the value of the awarded contract prior to the issuance of a revised College purchase order does so at the contractor’s sole risk.
