CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER MEMORANDUM NO. 02 (2012-2013)
SUBJECT: CONTRACT AND GRANT REVIEWS AND RELATED PAYMENT
PROCESSING REQUIREMENTS
This memorandum supersedes the following Chief Financial Officer Memoranda: No. 01 (2007-
08), No. 03 (2009-10), No. 05 (2009-10), and No. 06 (2009-10).
CONTRACT DOCUMENT REQUIREMENTS
Section 287.058, Florida Statutes (F.S.), was amended in 2010, establishing new provisions
related to scope of work and deliverables in order to improve accountability for contractual
service agreements entered into by state agencies. Contractual service agreements executed on or
after July 1, 2010, must be in compliance with the requirements of Section 287.058, F.S. These
contractual service agreements must include:
A scope of work that clearly establishes all of the specific tasks the contractor is required
to perform.
Documentation required to be maintained by the contractor to evidence the completion of
the tasks.
Specific deliverables that must be provided and accepted prior to payment. Deliverables
must be quantifiable, measurable and verifiable. Each deliverable must be directly
related to a task specified in the scope of work and must identify the minimum level of
service to be performed. Agencies should not confuse reports with deliverables. Reports
usually are not deliverables. Rather, a report is the means to attest to the tasks performed
during a given period of time.
Specified criteria that will be used to determine the contractor’s successful performance.
Financial consequences that the agency must apply if the contractor fails to perform in
accordance with contract. A state agency must apply financial consequences if the
contractor fails to meet the minimum level of service identified in the agreement or other
contract terms.
CONTRACT AND GRANT REVIEWS
Contractual service (including purchase orders) and grant agreements will be submitted to the
Bureau of Auditing (Bureau) for review. For contracts that are effective July 1, 2012 or later,
required documentation must be submitted no later than when the next payment request is
submitted to the Bureau. For contracts executed after the date of this memorandum,
documentation must be submitted upon execution of the agreement. Agencies must submit
documentation including the contractual service agreement, purchase order, grant agreement,
along with any required special approvals (Attorney General, advance payment, etc.), and
procurement documentation (bid tabulation, proposal evaluation, price/cost analysis, etc.).
HANDOUT 1 – CFO MEMO NO. 02 (2012-2013)
1
Agencies will submit documentation related to contractual service agreements, grant agreements,
and purchase orders, if the value of the agreement is, or has been amended to, $750,000 or more.
Agencies will submit documentation related to contractual service agreements and purchase
orders, that are based upon state term contracts, if the value of the agreement is $500,000 or
more. The Bureau may also review, on a sample basis, agreements below these thresholds.
The Bureau has determined that the types of agreements listed below are exempt from this
requirement:
Building Construction
Architect/Engineers
Legal Services (including Court Reporting)
Courier Services
Service Level Agreements between agencies and the Shared Resource Centers
Agencies may make a written request for additional exemptions.
The Bureau will focus its review on the agreement’s scope of work, deliverables, compliance
with the state term contract (if applicable) and the payment terms, as well as the compliance
requirements for state and federal financial assistance, as established by Chief Financial Officer
Memorandum No. 4 (2005-06). The Bureau will complete the review and provide its conclusions
to the submitting agency. Payments may be delayed on agreements that do not meet statutory
requirements (scope of work, deliverables, financial consequences, etc.).
AGREEMENTS FUNDED BY STATE AND/OR FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Section 215.971, F.S., requires agreements that are funded by state and/or federal financial
assistance include provisions related to scope of work and deliverables. Agreements executed on
or after July 1, 2010, are required to include:
A scope of work that clearly establishes all of the specific tasks the recipient/subrecipient
is required to perform
Documentation required to be maintained by the recipient/subrecipient to evidence the
completion of the tasks
Specific deliverables that must be provided and accepted prior to payment. Deliverables
must be quantifiable, measurable and verifiable. Each deliverable must be directly related
to a task specified in the scope of work and must identify the minimum level of service to
be performed. Agencies should not confuse reports with deliverables. Reports usually are
not deliverables. Rather, a report is the means to attest to the tasks performed during a
given period of time.
Specified criteria that will be used to determine the recipient/subrecipient’s successful
performance.
The requirements of Chief Financial Officer Memorandum No. 4 (2005-06), relating to these
agreements, continue to be in effect.

COST ANALYSIS REQUIRED BY SECTION 216.3475. FLORIDA STATUTES
Section 216.3475, F.S., requires agencies to maintain records to support a cost analysis for
service agreements, executed on or after July 1, 2010, which were awarded on a noncompetitive
basis. Detailed budgets are required to be submitted by the person or entity awarded funding in
excess of Category II and must be reviewed by the agency. The attached Cost Analysis form and
instructions are to be used to document an agency’s review of the detailed budget. If an agency
already has an existing form which it desires to use, the form must be submitted to the Bureau
for review and approval.
The completed cost analysis is to be maintained in the contract manager’s contract file. The cost
analysis form is required to be submitted to the Bureau when submitting agreements with a value
of $750,000 or more.
Contact the Bureau of Auditing at (850) 413-5512 for questions regarding this memorandum.

COST ANALYSIS INSTRUCTIONS FOR NON-COMPETIVELY PROCURED
AGREEEMENTS IN EXCESS OF CATEGORY II
1. Agencies must complete a cost analysis worksheet for the original contract and any
amendment that affects the amount of compensation and/or the level of services
provided.
2. Each separate line item must be evaluated to determine whether the cost is allowable,
reasonable and necessary. Each miscellaneous cost must be specifically identified.
3. To be allocated to a program, a cost must be related to the services provided. If the cost
benefits more than one program, a determination must be made that the cost is distributed
in a reasonable and consistent manner across all benefiting programs.
4. To be allowable, a cost must be allowable pursuant to state and federal expenditure laws,
rules and regulations and authorized by the agreement between the state and the provider.
5. To be reasonable, a cost must be evaluated to determine that the amount does not exceed
what a prudent person would incur given the specific circumstances.
6. To be necessary, a cost must be essential to the successful completion of the program.
7. Indirect costs/overhead should be evaluated to determine that the rate is reasonable.
8. Agencies must retain documentation in agency files to support the conclusions reached as
shown on the Cost Analysis for Non-Competitively Procured Agreements in Excess of
Category II form.

CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER MEMORANDUM NO. 01 (2012-2013)
SUBJECT: CONTRACT SUMMARY FORM
This memorandum supersedes Chief Financial Officer Memoranda No. 02 (2010-2011) and No. 7
(2011-2012).
The purpose of this memorandum is to clarify how and when the Contract Summary Form is to be
used.
FLAIR PAYMENTS
For all contract and grant agreements that are recorded in the Florida Accountability Contract Tracking
System (FACTS) and for which payments are processed in FLAIR, each agency will utilize the
Contract Summary Form that is found in FACTS. Agency contract managers should print, complete,
and sign the FACTS Contract Summary Form, certifying that services were satisfactorily received.
The signed Contract Summary Form will be sent to the Agency’s accounting office and included in the
FLAIR payment voucher. The Bureau of Auditing (Bureau) will return, to the Agency, any FLAIR
payment voucher that does not include a completed and signed FACTS Contract Summary Form.
Federal and state grant agreements are not currently required to be recorded in FACTS; however
payments for grant agreements processed in FLAIR will also need to be supported by a properly
completed and signed Contract Summary Form, which can be found on the DFS website at
http://www.myfloridacfo.com/aadir/summary_csa.htm.
MFMP PAYMENTS
For all contracts that are recorded in FACTS, but for which payments are processed through MFMP,
agencies must print the FACTS Contract Summary Form and attach it to the Purchase Requisition (PR)
or Contract Request (CR). The Contract Manager will provide the following certification statement in
the comment section field on the PR or the CR: “I <insert name> certify by evidence of the attached
Contract Summary Form, that I am the Contract Manager and the information on this form is true and
correct.” For every change to a FACTS agreement, an updated FACTS Contract Summary Form must
be attached along with the required contract manager certification statement.
For all MFMP service payments, the Contract Manager must provide on the Invoice Reconciliation
(IR) the following certification statement: “I <insert name> certify that I am the Contract Manager and
the provided information is true and correct; the goods and services have been satisfactorily received
and payment is now due. I understand that the office of the State Chief Financial Officer reserves the
right to require additional documentation and/or to conduct periodic post-audits of any agreements.”
In lieu of the contract manager providing the certification statement on the IR, the FACTS Contract
Summary Form or the Contract Summary Form, as applicable, may be completed, signed and attached.
The Contract Summary Form may be found at http://www.myfloridacfo.com/aadir/summary_csa.htm.
