§ 11256 Interagency Service Agreements

Key Takeaways

  • •State agencies can help each other with stuff like services, materials, or equipment, but they need permission from the Director of General Services.
  • •The agency helping out can charge money for their help, but they have to include all the costs (like time, materials, etc.) and get approval for how they calculate the charge.
  • •The Director of General Services can say some things don’t need approval or can give approval for a bunch of similar things at once.

Example

If the Department of Transportation needs extra computers for a big project, they can ask another state agency, like the Department of Technology, to lend them some.

The Department of Technology can lend the computers, but they have to charge the Department of Transportation for the cost of the computers and any other expenses. They need to get approval for how much they charge.

Subject to approval of the Director of General Services, state agencies may furnish services, materials or equipment to, or perform work for, other state agencies upon such terms and conditions and for such considerations as they may determine and, subject to such approval, may enter into agreements for such purpose. The state agency furnishing or performing said work, services, materials or equipment shall include in its charges therefor such direct and indirect costs to the state in furnishing or performing said work, services, materials or equipment as may be approved by the Director of General Services, and such state agency shall compute said charges in a manner approved by the Director of Finance. The Director of General Services, upon such terms and conditions as he may prescribe, may except from his approval, or grant blanket approval for, the performance of any work, the furnishing of any services, materials or equipment, the entering into of any agreements, the computation of any charges, or the inclusion of any costs provided for herein.
