Community College Rules of Procurement

The College’s Board of Education as the Local Contract Review Authority per ORS 279A.060 has delegated the authority for the signing of contractual agreements, purchasing functions and participation in the Participating Oregon Community Colleges (POCC) group, to the College President to support the efficient operation of Rogue Community College District.

The College Board has elected to follow the Community College Rules of Procurement (CCRP) that are developed and maintained by the POCC.  Pursuant to ORS 279A.065, as changes to the Public Contracting Code occur (ORS chapters 279A, 279B, and 279C), the Attorney General’s Model Contracting Rules must be reviewed and subsequently modified, as applicable. The POCC then reviews and updates the CCRP. All updates or modifications to the CCRP will be approved by the Board through an update to this policy.

The CCRP is broken down into the following sections:

1. Section 100 – Definitions of the Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) and Oregon Revised Statues (ORS) as adopted at the state level. Any OAR/ORS rules not included in the CCRP must be followed as written in Oregon Revised Statue 279 A, B, C and Oregon Administrative Rule Chapter 137 divisions 45,46,47,48 and 49.
2. Section 200 – Defines the POCC rules that amend the OAR and ORS allowing flexibility or appropriate restrictions for the educational environment and cannot be changed by individual colleges that have adopted the CCRP.
3. Section 300 – Establishes the Board of Education’s rules of procurement for the College allowing flexibility or appropriate restrictions. Which include procurement thresholds for contracts and purchases requiring Board approvals and formal solicitation requirements.
