The retention and dissemination of data in relation to contracts and related instruments approved by the Board of County Commissioners is of major importance to the Board and its Departments and related agencies. Contract Development and Control (CDC) maintains a Contract Register that is an automated system that captures key areas of interest in relation to each Board approved contract. This information is very useful in preparing various reports for Commissioners, Departments, the media and public information requests.
Another area that CDC had been involved with is educating Department staff on contract processes and procedures through the conducting of workshops and one on one consultations. We strive to make this process as user friendly as possible and it continues to evolve. Tied into this area is the development of standard contracts within Departments that engage in contracting activity on a regular basis. CDC offers assistance in drafting of such documents. We also review draft documents on a continuing basis and offer comments and suggestions that are helpful to the Departments.
