Forms

We use the forms described below when requesting items to be ordered, initiating contracts with vendors, reimbursement for entertainment expenses, travel expenses and off-campus use of University equipment.

* Selected forms used here are created in Acrobat PDF and can be
FILLED-IN and PRINTED
using Adobe's free Acrobat Reader.

* To SAVE and SEND the forms via e-mail, you'll need to buy the full version of Acrobat
which is available at a discounted price from OETC.  Read more below.

If you need additional help getting your browser to work with Acrobat PDF files, try Acrobat Technical Guides for step-by step instructions on configuring Netscape and Internet Explorer for Windows or Macintosh, to use Acrobat Reader as a helper application or plug-in.

Orders

When placing orders for materials and equipment, paying fees for subscriptions, seminars or for reimbursements, use our online Requisition Form.  This includes all orders, whether they are to be paid using a Purchase Order, prepaid with our department's credit card or institution check.

Fill out the form as prompted, then send the order to Purchasing.  If you have 10 items or more, use our 2-page Requisition Form.

If you have been given a quotation from the vendor or have a form to include with the payment, be sure to attach it.  Also, when you receive your shipment, remember to forward the vendor's packing slip to Purchasing.  Thank you.

Form Problems?

If you have problems when submitting our Requisition form online, try this: 

1) Save your completed form as a PDF document.

To save or send the form, you will need the full version of Acrobat; (the free Acrobat Reader will only allow you to fill-in and print the form).  This software is available for a discounted price ($30 to $50) from OETC

2) Open your e-mail program to create a new message. 

3) Insert your order as an attachment to that message and send it to Purchasing.

If these steps still don't resolve the problem, print your completed order and bring it to Purchasing, or contact us.  Thank you.  (back to top)

Contracts for Services

prior to allowing the contractor to perform any services, these forms must be signed by the contractor and authorized by the UO Business Office, per State of Oregon guidelines.  These Personal Service Contracting (PSC) forms are used to contract all services provided by non-OUS (Oregon University System) employees.  (back to top)
bullet

PSC Short Form
for use when services will cost $5,000 or less, if you know the exact total and only one payment is to be made.  Read the PSC Short Form Instructions before filling out the form. 

The Short Form does not need to be pre-authorized by the Business Office, but does need to be signed by the contractor and returned to us PRIOR to having any work performed

Upon presentation of the vendor invoice and when the work is completed to our satisfaction, the department will approve the PSC and forward it for payment.

When You Can Use the Short Form:

The total contract value including additional expenses is $5,000 or less and you know the exact amount.  Contracts with a "not-to-exceed" value must use the Long Form.

The services to be provided are simple activities where a brief description can describe the responsibilities of the contractor.

The contractor is not a UO or Oregon University System employee.

The contractor is not a resident alien or a non-resident alien.

Only one payment on the PSC invoice will be made to the contractor.

PSC Long Form (with exhibits and attachments)(updated 7/29/04)
for use when services will cost over $5,000, the exact total is not known for any contract, or the contractor is not a U.S. Citizen.  Fill-in this form online and print it, then send the complete packet to Purchasing for review before having the Contractor sign the document.

Forms required with every PSC Long Form

These forms are included with the online version of the PSC; if you need only selected pages, follow these links: 

Terms and Conditions (Attachment A), Insurance (Exhibit B), Contractor Certification Statement (Exhibit C), Travel Reimbursement Rates (Exhibit D) and Data Selection and Justification form.  Exhibit A, the "Statement of Work" is also included with the Long Form, but is pre-numbered to match the PSC so should only be printed with a new PSC.
