Professional Services (Non-Contract for Services)

Per Assembly Bill 5, requirements for the classification of an independent contractor have changed. As such, the Contract for Services process has changed as well. If you are hiring a vendor of a larger business (as opposed to an Independent Contractor), you may follow the Professional Services process below instead of the Contract for Services process.

Form to use: Requisition Request Form (select "Professional Services")

On the Requisition Request Form: enter a brief description of the service to be performed, a quantity of 1, and the total cost of the service under the unit price.

Provided backup: a Scope of Work or similar agreement that outlines the cost and work to be performed.

Contract for Services vs. Professional Services

Vendors that provide services fall under the Contract for Services process primarily if they file as an individual/sole-proprietor/single-member LLC. Vendors that file as an S-Corp, C-Corp, or Incorporated business do not fall under Contract for Services and are instead considered general Professional Services. This can be confirmed by requesting a copy of the vendor’s completed W9 (see section 3 of the form). Generally speaking, small 1 or 2 person businesses are considered Independent Contractors, whereas large business are not. If you are unsure if the vendor is considered an Independent Contractor, review the Independent Contractor Questionnaire and Independent Contractor Checklist to help determine the process to follow.

Professional Services Process

Flowchart: Professional Services

  1. Complete a Requisition Request Form to establish an Open PO. On the Requisition, be sure to include a description of the work to be performed by the vendor. PO's should be established for a rounded, whole amount. Round-up based on the estimated cost provided by the vendor.
    1. A Scope of Work should be included with the Requisition. A Scope of Work is a document that outlines the work that both parties agree will be performed by the vendor. Scope of Work documents will vary, and may be either provided by the vendor or created by the Requestor of the college. The Scope of Work document should include, but is not limited to, the following: (1) the names of both the vendor and the college, (2) an outline of the work to be performed by the vendor, (3) the overall cost of the work to be performed, (4) a general timeline of the work to be completed, and (5) the approval signatures of both the vendor and the Requestor.
  2. Submit your Requisition, with Scope of Work attached, to your department Administrative or Executive Assistant for review.
  3. Requests under $1,000 require one Administrator approval. Requests of $1,000 or more require Vice President approval.
  4. Once final approval has been obtained, the Business Office will enter the Requisition into Banner. You will receive an automated email notice when your requisition request is fully approved that contains a link to your completed form.
  5. The Business Office will forward the Requisition to the District Purchasing Office for a PO. You should receive a copy of this PO, via email, by Purchasing.
  6. Once the work has been performed and completed, contact the vendor to obtain a final invoice. Write "ok to pay," sign the invoice, date it, and include the PO number established by the District Purchasing Office. Invoices should only be signed and submitted for payment after all work has been completed as agreed upon.
  7. Submit the signed invoice to the Business Office for processing.
