No contract is valid until signed and dated by the Vice President for Finance and Administration, therefore no contractor is authorized to begin performance until such time. If contractor begins performing prior thereto, the College is not obligated to pay contractor for such performance or for any goods and/or services provided.
When the contractor is a Sole Proprietor, Exhibit IC is required to be attached to the Purchase Order:
