II. DEFINITIONS
A. Independent Consultant
An Independent Consultant is an individual or organization outside the University of proved professional or technical competence who provides primarily professional or technical advice to the University in an independent contractor relationship.
B. Independent Contractor Relationship
An independent contractor relationship exists when the University has the right to control only the result of the service, not the manner of performance.
C. Employer-Employee Relationship
An employer-employee relationship exists when the University has the right (whether or not it exercises the right) to supervise and control the manner of performance, as well as the result of the service.
D. Requesting Unit
The campus organizational unit requesting the services of Independent Consultants.
E. Executing Officer
The Executing Officers are listed as follows and have been designated by the Chancellor each to approve the purpose and content of an Independent Consultant Agreement and no further delegation is authorized:
F. Responsible Administrative Official
The Purchasing Manager has been designated by the Chancellor to be responsible for the overall administration of Independent Consultant Agreements.
III. SCOPE
A. The policies and procedures set forth apply to obtaining the services of Independent Consultants for all campus activities for which administrative responsibility is vested in the Chancellor.
B. The administration and implementation rests with the Executing Officer and the Responsible Administrative Official. (See Section II.E. & F. above.)
C. These policies and procedures do not apply to:
1. Appointment of consultants under the Standing Orders of The Regents, Section 100.4(Y) as implemented by the FACILITIES MANUAL, Section C.5, covering the appointments of architects, engineers, landscape architects, interior designers, and other consultants for approved campus projects.
2. University of California faculty members who serve internally as consultants. (See Academic Personnel Manual, Section 664.)
IV. POLICY
A. Arrangements to secure the services of an Independent Consultant may be entered into only when a determination has been made by the Department Chair, Dean or Division Head, that the services are so urgent, special, temporary, or highly technical that they cannot be performed economically or satisfactorily by existing University academic or staff personnel during the course of their normal University responsibilities or duties.
B. The use of an Independent Consultant is expected to be infrequent and is primarily used to solve clearly delineated problems. Services of Independent Consultants paid for by Federal funds are normally limited to not in excess of 30 days in a 12-month period, or that period of time which is set by the cognizant contract or grant. Any services required for a longer period of time must have the prior approval of the Chancellor.
In addition to the time element described above, Federal Auditors use the following standards in support of the use of Independent Consultants on Federally funded projects.
1. There must be evidence that the services to be provided are essential and cannot be provided by persons receiving salary support under the Federally funded project.
2. There must be evidence that the person selected is the most qualified available, and that the selection has been approved by the Department Chair, Dean or Division Head.
3. There must be evidence that the rate is appropriate and reasonable considering the qualifications of the Consultant, his/her normal rates, and the nature of the services rendered. See Exhibit A, Section III.B.5. of Independent Consultant Agreement.
C. An Independent Consultant shall not be used to carry out a major portion of a program. If it is desired to use an Independent Consultant to direct a program or to participate extensively in such a program, the person shall be employed through the regular employment process.
D. If the cognizant Executing Officer or Responsible Administrative Official determines that a proposed agreement may result in an employer-employee relationship, the case shall be referred to the appropriate personnel office for review and for consultation with the Office of General Counsel, if appropriate. If it is determined that an employer-employee relationship would exist, established employment procedures shall be followed, and required employment forms shall be processed by the appropriate personnel office or, when recommended by the appropriate personnel office, the reporting requirements indicated in PPM 523-9, Employee-Vendor Relationships, shall be followed.
E. The services of an Independent Consultant shall not entitle the 11erson to credit other than as a ``consultant'' in any published report or other document.
F. An Independent Consultant shall not hire any officer or employee of the University to perform any service covered by a Consultant Agreement entered into with the University of California. If the work is to be performed in connection with a Federal contract or grant, an Independent Consultant shall not hire any employee of the U.S. Government to perform any service covered by the agreement. The Consultant shall not be in a reporting relationship to a University employee who is a near relative nor shall the near relative be in a decision-making position with respect to the Consultant.
G. If Government contract or grant funds are used, the requesting unit shall determine if any of the proposed Independent Consultants are currently employed by the U.S. Government. (Government employees or government contractor employees who propose to serve as Independent Consultants on federally funded University projects - whether on their normal work week or on ``off time'' or ``spare time'' - require special governmental approval as it may constitute dual compensation.)
H. The Independent Consultant shall affirm that to the best of his/her knowledge there exists no actual or potential conflict between Consultant's family, business, or financial interests and the services provided. Any question regarding possible conflict of interest shall be raised and cleared with the University.
I. The laws and regulations affecting the University of California Retirement System (UCRS) and the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) do not prohibit a retired member of UCRS or PERS from providing services to the University as a Consultant.
J. The department proposing to engage a Consultant shall be guided by University Personnel Policy MAP 60, A&PS 160, PPM/SPM 250-605, and Academic Personnel
Policy 160. Tape recorders shall not be used during discussions with University staff, or their agents, pertaining to employment matters except as specified by Executive Assistant Wilson's ``Recording of Discussions with Employees'' referred to in Section I.E. of this issuance. Such use shall be specified on Exhibit A, Section I.G. of the Independent Consultant Agreement. The Consultant's attention shall be directed especially to Exhibit B, Sections VI. and VII. of the Terms and Conditions of the Independent Consultant Agreement.
K. Requests for Independent Consultant Agreements for legal services are specifically prohibited without prior approval by UC General Counsel, as further outlined in the Regents' Committee on Finance, May 20, 1988, Section T, ``Approval of Memorandum Regarding Legal Services.''
V. PROCEDURE
Refer to Exhibit D, Summary of Procedures Obtaining Services of Independent Consultants, for overview of procedures.
A. Format of Proposals from Potential Independent Consultants
1. Proposals from potential Independent Consultants shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following:

b. An overall description of the techniques by which the Consultant intends to approach the problem, amount of time to be expended, the anticipated beginning and ending dates for the services, personnel, equipment, and facilities to be utilized and, if subcontractors are contemplated, a description of persons or firms and the portions and monetary percentages of the work to be done by them;
c. A description of the type of information, if any, to be collected about an individual, the method of collection, the physical type of the resulting record, i.e., typed or written notes, tape recording, photograph, and the proposed ownership of such records.
d. The projected total cost of the study and a breakdown of how this cost was computed, including any travel and desired method of payment;
2. Additional Information Required from Potential Independent Consultant
a. The total dollar amount paid by the combined campuses of the University of California to the Consultant in the last twelve (12) months. Refer to Exhibit A, Independent Consultant Agreement, Section I.H.
b. The name and position of any employee of the University, or any near relative of such person, who has a controlling proprietary relationship with, or interest in the Consultant organization. An officer, faculty member or other employee of the University, or near relative of such person, who alone, or in combination with any other member or near relative, owns or controls more than 10% of such Consultant organization shall be deemed to have a controlling proprietary relationship with, or interest in, such enterprise.
In this eventuality, the proposal must include as attachments Employee Report Form and Departmental Report/Request Form pursuant to PPM 523-9, Employee-Vendor Relationships, Exhibit A. See PPM 523-9 for definitions of ``officer or employee'' and ``near relative.''
c. If the individual is not a citizen of the United States, the individual shall also complete the appropriate forms required by University procedures for payment to aliens. See PPM 395-13, Alien Information. It is mandatory that alien information be obtained prior to final execution of the Independent Consultant Agreement to ensure the alien's status permits payments.
3. Requirements for Insurance for Independent Consultants
The University requires that all business enterprises which perform services on the campus, or campus related facilities, must show proof of insurance by providing a Certificate of Insurance. UCSD policy requires the following minimum limits of insurance be outlined on a Certificate of Insurance as proof of such coverage, and such information be submitted along with the request for the Independent Consultant Agreement.
If the Independent Consultant is a firm, Independent Consultant shall furnish a Certificate of Insurance showing minimum coverage of:
a. Comprehensive Automobile Liability of $15,000 per person or $30,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and $5,000 for property damage.
b. Comprehensive or Commercial General Liability of $100,000 per occurrence (bodily injury and property damage combined).
If the Independent Consultant is an individual, or an individual using a personal automobile to carry out consulting duties, Independent Consultant shall furnish a Certificate of Insurance showing minimum coverage of:
a. Comprehensive Automobile Liability of $15,000 per person or $30,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and $5,000 for property damage.
In addition, the Independent Consultant must agree to the section entitled ``Indemnification'', as outlined under Exhibit B, Section V.A., Terms and Conditions.
B. Summary Memorandum
1. The information outlined in Section V.A.1. and 2. should be summarized for the benefit of the Executing Officer and the Responsible Administrative Official in the form of a brief written presentation or Summary Memorandum addressed to the Executing Officer and forwarded to the Responsible Administrative Official with the proposed Independent Consultant Agreement. The requesting unit's responsibilities in requesting approval for the services of an Independent Consultant shall be in accordance with the following guidelines and summarized in the Summary Memorandum:
a. A description of the problem.
b. The objectives of the study or a general statement of what is expected to be accomplished.
c. An explanation of why the service cannot be performed by University employees.
d. Scope of the work, including any desired approach to the problem, specific limitations, questions requiring answers, format for the completed report, and the extent to which assistance and cooperation from the University will be available to the Independent Consultant.
e. If the services are to be performed in connection with a contract or grant, pertinent extracts of such contract or grant shall be attached and the conditions set forth therein shall be considered a part of the request for consultant service.
f. Firm or estimated time schedule including dates for commencement of performance, submission of progress reports, and for completion of the service.
g. Listing of proposals received. Include name, address, and amount offered by each proposer.
h. An evaluation of the proposed Consultant's qualifications and of his/her plans for accomplishing the work.
i. To what extent progress payment(s) will be allowed.
j. Account and fund to be charged.
2. If the amount of payment(s) by the University to an Independent Consultant is $15,000 or more in any twelve (12) month period, the Responsible Administrative Official shall ensure that, if possible, proposals are solicited from three or more qualified Independent Consultants. When competitive proposals are not solicited, the reason for not seeking competition shall be documented by the requesting unit, and confirmation that Independent Consultant's fees are reasonable and appropriate for the required expertise of the Consultant.
3. If the amount is less than $15,000, the Responsible Administrative Official shall determine that the fees are reasonable for the services to be performed, as justified by the requesting unit.
4. Selection of an Independent Consultant shall be made on the basis of qualifications, resources, experience, needs of the University, and cost to the University. In the selection process, any University officer or employee participating in the decision must keep in mind the disqualification requirements for financial conflict of interest defined under BUS 43, Part 9, and PPM 200-13, Conflict of Interest.
5. In many cases, sponsored agencies require that the University obtain written prior approval from the agency before securing the services of an Independent Consultant even though provision for a consultant may be included in the approved grant budget or in the terms of the contract. Also, written prior approval from the contracting or granting agency may be required if the project budget does not contain a line item in the budget to fund consultant payments. Because of the differing agency regulations regarding consultants, it is best to read the regulations of the agency involved before securing the services of a consultant and discuss the limits of approval in the Summary Memorandum.
C. Format of Agreement
1. The agreement between the University and the Independent Consultant shall be executed on the Independent Consultant Agreement, Exhibit A, and Terms and Conditions, Exhibit B. Any modification to the clauses and terms of the Independent Consultant Agreement or Terms and Conditions shall be forwarded to the attention of the Purchasing Manager who will obtain the necessary legal reviews from the Office of the General Counsel of The Regents.
2. The insurance requirements to be provided under Article V. of Terms and Conditions, Exhibit B, shall be those in Section V.A.3.

5. Any changes, to the original executed Consultant Agreement shall be submitted as Amendment to the Independent Consultant Agreement, Exhibit C. See Section V.H. for further procedures regarding amendments.
