Title
Judicial Branch Administration: Judicial Branch Contracting Manual (Action Required)
body
Summary
The Advisory Committee on Audits and Financial Accountability for the Judicial Branch recommends revising the Judicial Branch Contracting Manual. The proposed revisions are necessary to address recommendations from the California State Auditor, and to address recent revisions in the State Contracting Manual. The committee also recommends some additional revisions, including edits to provisions on electronic signatures, that would make the manual more effective and workable for judicial branch entities in their procurement and contracting activities.
Recommendation
The Advisory Committee on Audits and Financial Accountability for the Judicial Branch recommends that the Judicial Council, effective August 1, 2018, revise the Judicial Branch Contracting Manual. A copy of the revised chapters of the manual showing the recommended revisions in track changes is attached to this report as Attachment A.
