Independent Contractor Consulting Agreement - FORM 10100 Fillable
Examples of When to Use
Independent Contractors IC Agreement (FORM 10200)
Animal
demonstrations, Disc Jockeys, Inflatable action activities, Services Agreements,
Carpentry, Drywall, Electrical work, Painting, Plumbing, Roofing, Welding and Small remodel projects.
Examples of When to Use
Consulting Agreement (FORM 10100)
Story
tellers, Event planners, lecturers, performer, assemblies, Philharmonic, after school
enrichment, staff development seminar and various other specialized consulting
engagements.
The District no longer uses the short-form agreements for any engagement.
School
site personnel should not sign contracts or agreements. Contracts and
agreements may only be signed by designated directors and Assistant Superintendents.
Pre-approved
templates can be used for most engagements except for the following:
-
Purchasing products, supplies or equipment: Contact Purchasing Department at (805) 498-4557 x162 instead.
-
Construction or building projects: Please contact the Director, Planning & Construction at 805-498-4557 ext. 153 for all construction and building projects no matter the amount.
-
For vendors that are asking for facility use. Please direct them to the District’s Facility Use Permits webpage, or Civic Center Coordinator at (805) 497-9511 extension 272. The general rule of thumb: If someone pays the district to use facilities, a Facilities Use permit is needed. When the district pays someone else to do something for the District, school, or school organization, then either IC or Consulting Agreement are used.
Only
unaltered pre-approved templates can be used.
Any proposed changes to the template and its provisions must be approved
by the Risk Manager.
You
may attach a vendor's proposal or quote, but do not sign their
agreement/contract unless previously authorized by Risk Management and
designated directors and Assistant Superintendents.
