Each request will require completion of a “Request for Contract” form. All information on this form must be completed to avoid a delay in processing your request. 

DONATIONS/GIFTS

Any donations received must have a Proposed Gifts and Donations form completed and submitted for board approval. This form requires that the donor provide their name, address, signature, and an assigned value for the donated/gifted items. Upon submittal of the completed form, please notify the Procurement and Contract Services Department if the item has been already received by the department/division and if there are any costs associated with delivery of the donation to the receiving department/division.
