Independent Contractor Agreements (ICA)

  • This page contains information to assist you through the Independent Contractor Agreement (ICA) process.  

  • Updated Information:

    An ICA form is not required if all three of the following criteria are met: 1) the contractor is performing services offsite (not at a school); 2) the contractor does not come into contact with students or student education records; and 3) the cost is less than $20,000. A purchase requisition can simply be submitted.

    Forms:

    FYI, WCSD no longer has umbrella or "blanket ICA's".  Each site must initiate their own ICA with each vendor.
     
    There are two separate forms, both are required to complete the process:  AP-F006A Independent Contract Agreement Justification (WCSD Staff Form) and AP-F006B Independent Contract Agreement (Vendor Form). 
     
    These pages will need to be completed by WCSD staff.  PLEASE NOTE PAGE 1 OF THIS DOCUMENT FOR THE UPDATED INSTRUCTIONS AND A NEW CHECKLIST.
     
    These pages are the actual contract and should be completed by the vendor.  
     
    Both the AP-F006A and AP-F006B must be attached to your Purchase Requisition (PR) along with other accompanying documents, same as the prior process.  Accompanying documents include insurance and W-9.
     
     
    Use this form for revising a current contract that is in place.
