Contracts for services or involving any activity on Drake property must be reviewed by Director, Risk and Insurance Donna Blunck to ensure sufficient insurance coverage and other contractual protections. Submit your contract to ducontracts@drake.edu with a message requesting insurance review.

Send signed contracts to ducontracts@drake.edu so the contract can be maintained in Drake’s central contract retention system. Exceptions to the central retention requirement include independent contractor agreements and agreements for transportation, hotels, or entertainment for one-time events at non-Drake locations. Those contracts are to be retained at the departmental level for a period of three years.

For more contracting information, including the policy governing who is authorized to sign contracts on behalf of the University, visit the Drake online contracting resource.
