PAP.10.12.040 Vendor and Professional Services Contracts

All vendor and professional services contracts, excluding Education Department Tutoring contracts, require Tribal Governing Board approval regardless of the dollar amount. The process for requesting such approval is as follows:

(a) The procurement documentation and Request for Contract Form must be completed in their entirety (See sample form A-5).

(b) The procurement documentation and Request for Contract Form must be submitted to the Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer for review and approval. The Executive Director will assign a contract number.

(c) The approved procurement documentation and Request for Contract Form must then be submitted to the Tribal Governing Board for approval at least seven (7) calendar days prior to the date of consideration, which will give the Tribal Governing Board time to review the documents and if necessary, request additional information.

(d) After approval and signature by the Tribal Chairperson, one original must be forwarded to the Executive Director.
