Independent Contractor Agreements (ICA)

  • This page contains information to assist you through the Independent Contractor Agreement (ICA) process.  The District defines Independent Contractors as non-District persons or entities that perform any service for the District for a fee but can include non-fee based services as well.

  • Forms:

     *NEWLY REVISED as of 2/18/21*
     
    The Independent Contract Agreement (ICA) process has been amended. This new change will apply to any services meeting the requirement of an ICA, whether fee-based or non-fee based.

    Effective immediately, the form AP-F006-Independent Contactor Agreement has been replaced with two packets: AP-F006A Independent Contract Agreement Justification and AP-F006B Independent Contract Agreement. The District website has been updated with the outdated form being replaced with the two new packets. To allow appropriate processing time for ICAs that are midway through the process, from now through the end of February 2021, both the old (one-form) AP-F006 or the new (two-packets) AP-F006A and AP-F006B will be accepted. Effective 3/1/21, only the new two-part packets will be accepted.
     
    These pages will need to be completed by WCSD staff. This information has not changed but is now separate from the actual contract paperwork. PLEASE NOTE PAGE 1 OF THIS DOCUMENT FOR THE UPDATED INSTRUCTIONS.
     
    These pages are the actual contract. WCSD staff will need to complete all required fields, then forward this document to the vendor for completion and signature. This information has not changed but is now separate from the internal WCSD paperwork.

    Both packets AP-F006A and AP-F006B must be attached to your Purchase Requisition (PR) along with other accompanying documents, same as the prior process.
