WHAT'S NEW

1. Workers' Compensation Requirements

The Contracts & Procurement Department is mandated by the Workers' Compensation Board to obtain Workers' Compensation Insurance Form (C105.2) and Disability Insurance Form (DB120.1) for all vendors we procure goods and services from. In situations where a vendor has no employees working or visiting our campus, we are required to obtain an Exemption Form (CE200) from that vendor. The Contracts & Procurement Department cannot issue any purchase orders or contracts until these documents have been obtained.
