Contracts at CSU
Appendix A: CSU Contract Forms
The contract forms found in Appendix A of the Manual may be downloaded individually below. Many of these forms have fill-in fields for completing the form in your MS Word or Adobe Acrobat program. Please read the instructions below. Note: Forms with a .pdf extension cannot be modified or filled in on the screen. These forms must be viewed using the free Adobe Acrobat Reader program. If you do not have Acrobat reader, click on the image below to go to their website where you can download it for free.
How to Use the Forms
(Please read this before using any of the forms below)
When you click on the link to one of the forms, you will be asked whether you wish to open the form into your browser or save it to your local or network drive. It is advisable to choose the "save" option and change the name of the form to something you can remember (like the name of the contractor). Then you can proceed by filling out the blanks provided in the form.
Microsoft Word forms are protected from changes except in the blanks that appear as gray shaded areas on the form. This is to prevent the basic terms and conditions from being changed without the approval by the Office of the Contracts Counsel, as required by CSU policies and procedures. If you need to change any of the protected areas of the form, please contact the Office of the Contracts Counsel at 970-491-0561 for assistance or send us an email.
To navigate through the form, use your tab key to move from one gray shaded field to the next and enter text as required. In most fields, the amount of text that can be entered is unlimited, but lengthy descriptions should not be necessary. It may be helpful to press your 'insert' key before filling in fields so that they write over the default underlined text.
For help with any fill-in field, press the F1 "help" key while the field is highlighted to see if a help tip has been included. If not, or if you still have questions, please contact the OCM for assistance.
