This signature is required. Forms received without a contractor's signature will be returned. This is the contract administrator's or department head signature and the date signed. This is the dean, equivalent administrative officer or assistant or associate VP and the date signed. 8b must be signed or the form will be returned.
Contract is effective when the contract has all appropriate approvals or a later agreed upon date.
Work may begin any time following approval. If Payroll agrees the CFPS is appropriate, non-sponsored CFPS are forwarded to Purchasing Services for approval. CFPS on sponsored funds are forwarded to SPA for review and then forwarded to Purchasing. Once the CFPS is reviewed and approved by Purchasing staff, the copies are distributed. Purchasing forwards the canary copy and the pink copy to the department and retains the white copy in a CFPS file.
