About this file

The document is a Review and Signatory Authority Chart for Collin College, detailing the internal contract review and approval processes for various types of agreements across the institution. The chart comprehensively outlines the specific review requirements, approval needs, and authorized signatories for contract types ranging from purchasing and procurement contracts to interlocal agreements, memorandums of understanding, grant agreements, clinical affiliations, technology licenses, construction agreements, and standard contracts for various academic and operational purposes.

The chart establishes a hierarchical approval process with different levels of review based on contract value and type, typically involving the Executive Director of Procurement Services, District President, Chief Financial Officer, or other designated administrators. For contracts under $50,000, the Executive Director of Procurement Services has signing authority, while contracts over $50,000 may require Board of Trustees presentation and approval from higher-level administrators. Standard contracts for specific purposes like clinical agreements, dental hygiene programs, and university partnerships often have streamlined review processes, with a consistent instruction that any modifications to standard contract forms must be reviewed and pre-approved by the Contract Administrator.

Review and Signatory Authority Chart **NOTE: Contracts do not bind Collin College unless they have been signed by the parties’ authorized representatives. Only individuals with expressly delegated contract authority may sign contracts on the college’s behalf, and no individual may contractually bind the college beyond the limit of his or her delegated authority. Contract authority is delegated by policy and/or by Board action from the Board of Trustees to the District President. Only the District President may delegate contract authority within the District President’s authority to one or more college employees. Therefore, unless you have delegated authority from the District President, you must not sign any contract on behalf of the college.
