An emergency is defined as a situation of extraordinary conditions where the normal operation or portions thereof

contingency. Emergencies
9
could also be in response to health and safety issues. The University will determine whether a situation is an
emergency or not.
Similarly, supplemental service may be required in order to address major issues, large projects or special events.
These services will be available upon 24-hour notice.
Both of the above services will be administered by a work order system under the supervision of CCSU’S

proceedings will be initiated in any state or federal court in addition to, or in lieu of, said Chapter 53 proceedings.
8. The contractor agrees that CSU shall have and retain sole and exclusive right and title in and to the forms, maps, and/or
materials produced for CSU pursuant to the contract, including all rights to use, distribute, sell, reprint, or otherwise dispose

13. Should the terms of any purchase order or invoice issued in connection with the contract conflict with the terms of the
contract, the terms of the contract shall prevail.
14. Failure of the contractor to deliver commodities or perform services as specified in the contract will constitute authority for

excess costs incurred by CSU due to these purchases, and these purchases shall be deducted by CSU from the quantities
contracted for.
15. No right or duty, in whole or in part, of the contractor under the contract may be assigned or delegated without the prior

Appendix VIII Employee Background Check Letter
To all interested parties November 5,

2009
In an effort to provide the safest possible environment for our students, faculty and staff while
recognizing that many of the services required to operate the university are provided by
employees of private companies and as such are not directly subject to the Connecticut State
University System Pre-Employment Background Verification Policy (dated March 4, 2005), CCSU
is incorporating the following language into all its ongoing service contracts -
“The Contractor shall be responsible for conducting background checks, including social security
number verification; federal criminal check; criminal arrests, convictions, and warrants; Sex
Offender Registry status; and a motor vehicle check on all individuals it plans to assign to work on
CCSU's campus. The Contractor shall screen individuals based on the results of their
background checks prior to assigning them to work on CCSU's campus. For those individuals
whom the Contractor has assigned to work on CCSU's campus, the Contractor shall provide a
designated CCSU administrator with access to their background checks a minimum of two weeks
prior to the beginning of their work assignments at CCSU. CCSU shall have the right to refuse the
assignment to CCSU of individuals who have been convicted of violent crimes, crimes against
property including vandalism and theft, or who are listed in the Sex Offender Registry.”
SSC Inc of Shelton CT holds the CSUS contract for employment screening services. To maintain
quality and consistency it is strongly suggested that contractors use SSC for their background
checks. The contact person at SSC is Maribeth DiIullio. Maribeth can be reached at 203-925-
6192. At SSC’s discretion background checks may be conducted for states other than
Connecticut if the individual’s residence history warrants.
All background checks shall be maintained by the contractor as part of the employee’s records
and shall be made available to CCSU immediately upon request.
Note that this shall apply to all new hires from October 1, 2009 forward but may be required for
any contractor employee at the request of CCSU.
Sincerely

Director of Purchasing
