Or. Admin. Code § 413-330-1000 - Delegation of Short-Form Contract Approval Authority

(1) Authority to approve short-form contracts is hereby delegated to the Administrator for Program Performance and Reporting.

(2) The Administrator for Program Performance and Reporting may delegate to a Child Welfare program manager or supervisor representing the SDA or the local office, upon written request, authority to approve SOC short-form contracts. The authority may be granted when the following conditions have been met:

(a) Management staff, including the Child Welfare program manager, line manager or supervisor, office manager or equivalent, and system-of-care resource developer or equivalent have received specific training regarding SOC short-form contract policy and procedure from Program Performance and Reporting staff and staff from the Department's Contracts and Procurement unit.

(b) The Child Welfare program manager has submitted an implementation plan to the Administrator for Program Performance and Reporting or the Administrator's delegate that describes how SOC short-form contracts will be processed at the local field office. The field office implementation plan may be submitted only after the management staff has received the SOC short-form contract training.

(c) Staff from the Program Performance and Reporting program have reviewed the implementation plans to ensure compliance with these administrative rules and sound business and fiscal practices.

(d) The Administrator for Program Performance and Reporting, or the Administrator's delegate, may, with consent of the Department's Office of Contracts and Procurement, delegate authority to approve SOC short-form contracts to a Child Welfare program manager or supervisor. The Administrator or the Administrator's delegate may delegate short-form contract approval authority only after the field office management staff has received training and the implementation plan has been approved. Once authority has been delegated, the Child Welfare program manager or supervisor is responsible for the proper processing and use of the SOC short-form contract. Except as authorized in OAR 413-330-1010, a Child Welfare program manager or supervisor cannot further delegate approval authority or contract responsibilities.
