CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS a. NSF will exercise its responsibility for oversight and monitoring of procurements, contracts or other contractual arrangements for the purchase of materials and supplies, equipment or general support services under the award. The procedures set forth below shall be followed to ensure that performance, materials and services are obtained in an effective manner and in compliance with the provisions of applicable Federal statutes and executive orders. The awardee shall obtain prior written approval from the cognizant NSF Grants and Agreements Officer prior to entering into a contract if the amount exceeds $250,000 or other amount specifically identified in the agreement. Contracts clearly identified in the NSF award budget are considered approved at the time of award unless withheld by the Grants and Agreements Officer. Contracts must be clearly identified in the NSF award budget (on Line G6. Other) or by receiving written prior approval from the cognizant NSF Grants and Agreements Officer after an award is issued. The threshold noted above also applies to cumulative increases in the value of the contractual arrangement after initial NSF approval. The awardee shall not artificially segregate its procurements to lesser dollar amounts for the purpose of circumventing this requirement. A request to enter into a contract shall include, at a minimum: 1. Proposed contractual arrangement document; 2. A description of the supplies or services required; 3. Identification of the type of contract to be issued; 4. The proposed price and the recipient's cost or price analysis; 5. Identification of the proposed vendor, an explanation of why and how the proposed vendor was selected, and the degree of competition obtained; and 6. If the contract was awarded without competition, the memorandum shall include a detailed justification.
Subcontract Requirements As required by Section 6.22(e)(5) of the Administrative Code, Contractor shall insert in every subcontract or other arrangement, which it may make for the performance of Covered Services under this Agreement, a provision that said subcontractor shall pay to all persons performing labor in connection with Covered Services under said subcontract or other arrangement not less than the highest general prevailing rate of wages as fixed and determined by the Board of Supervisors for such labor or services.
Procurement Requirements If the Sponsor has, or is required to have, a procurement process that follows applicable state and/or federal law or procurement rules and principles, it must be followed, documented, and retained. If no such process exists, the Sponsor must follow these minimum procedures: 1) Publish a notice to the public requesting bids/proposals for the project; 2) Specify in the notice the date for submittal of bids/proposals; 3) Specify in the notice the general procedure and criteria for selection; and 4) Sponsor must contract or hire from within its bid pool. If bids are unacceptable the process needs to be repeated until a suitable bid is selected. 5) Comply with the same legal standards regarding unlawful discrimination based upon race, gender, ethnicity, sex, or sex-orientation that are applicable to state agencies in selecting a bidder or proposer. Alternatively, Sponsor may choose a bid from a bidding cooperative if authorized to do so. This procedure creates no rights for the benefit of third parties, including any proposers, and may not be enforced or subject to review of any kind or manner by any entity other than the RCO. Sponsors may be required to certify to the RCO that they have followed any applicable state and/or federal procedures or the above minimum procedure where state or federal procedures do not apply.
