Relocation/Moving Procedure

RELOCATION ALLOWANCE FOR NEW FACULTY AND PROFESSIONAL STAFF

To outline allowable relocation costs and to clarify non-allowable costs:

 Arkansas Code 19-4-522 (5) (e) allows the payment of employee moving expenses from state funds by institutions of higher education. Within the fiscal limitations of departmental units of Arkansas State University a dean, director, or department head may pay an amount equivalent to up to 10% of the annual salary in moving expenses for new faculty or professional staff employees. The President, Chancellor, or a Vice Chancellor may authorize payments greater than this amount. The terms of agreement for payment of moving expenses should be included in the letter of appointment. The University's obligation applies to the movement of a "household" and does not constitute a separate allowance to each member of a family employed by the University.

 Allowable Costs:

  1. Moving the employee's household goods and personal effects.
  2. Travel, including lodging but not meals, from the former residence to the new residence. This includes one night of lodging upon arrival at the new home destination. Subsequent nights of lodging are the responsibility of the employee.
  3. Since it is often more economical to ship books by parcel post, individuals should investigate this possibility and should keep receipts to submit with their request for reimbursement.
  4. If the faculty or professional member elects to move himself/herself (U-Haul, etc.) rather than utilizing commercial movers, receipts should be kept for vehicle or trailer rental charges, gasoline and oil purchases, toll charges, and special labor charges (other than the faculty or professional himself/herself) required in assisting with loading and unloading.

 The University does not share in the following costs:

  1. Storage of personal effects at either end of the move.
  2. Additional insurance coverage over and above than normally carried by commercial moving companies.
  3. Moving of household effects and personal books, not professional books, from an address other than the home address from which the individual is moving.
  4. Tipping
  5. Any subsequent moves from temporary to permanent housing not made within 6 months of the original move, nor agreed to upfront in writing as part of the employment offer.

 Move scheduling should be done as soon as possible upon acceptance of employment, within one year from start of employment. Three written moving estimates must be secured for any amounts over $20,000. Estimates under $20,000 does not need bidding.

Payment will be made directly to the moving company by the university, or reimbursement for moving household goods and personal effects may be made to the employee, up to the amount authorized for the move. Original receipts are required for all reimbursements.

Procurement Services will not resolve any problems encountered with any moving companies. Regardless of how the employee manages a household move, moving expense payments to vendors of ASU employees must follow University Procedures.

During the move, the moving company may ask for guidance from the employee being moved. The employee being moved must understand that verbal instructions to the moving company may constitute a contract. ASU will not pay for verbal charges outside the written contract, and the employee will be solely liable. The moving employee needs to exercise caution to avoid this personal additional expense. When in doubt concerning a request from the moving company, call Procurement Services at 870-972-2028 for assistance.

 THE FOLLOWING STEPS SHOULD BE FOLLOWED WHEN HOUSEHOLD GOODS MOVING SERVICES ARE REQUIRED.

  1. Inform your new employee in writing of the allotted amount the department is willing to pay for moving expenses.
  2. The new employee must attain three bids for any estimate over the $20,000 threshold. Estimates under $20,000 does not need bidding.  Once they have received the cost estimates and selected the moving company, they should contact their ASU department with the information. The department should then follow through with an approved requisition to Procurement Services with the following information:
  3. Name and phone number of employee moving;
  4. Name of contracted moving company and quote number, if applicable
  5. Date of move and any pertinent particulars needed to ensure a successful move;  Copies of three the estimates (if over $20,000) or a written quote for submittal (if under $20,000). The employee should assure that the estimates/quote are within the authorized budget before the move takes place. Any questions should be directed to Procurement Services before the employee signs the contract.
  6. Location employee is coming from and moving to.

For moves over $20,000 please see below:

RFP vs Bidding

An RFP (Request for Proposal) is a document used to solicit detailed proposals for complex projects, while a bid is a response to a request for pricing or a simpler procurement process, often focusing on price as the primary factor.

Here's a more detailed comparison:
Request for Proposal (RFP):
Purpose: To find the best solution for a complex project, considering factors beyond price, such as experience, approach, and qualifications.

Scope:
Outlines project goals and asks for proposed solutions, encouraging vendors to provide customized proposals and demonstrate their expertise.

Evaluation:
The evaluation process is more subjective, considering various criteria beyond price, such as the proposed solution, contractor's experience, and the quality of the proposal.

Negotiation:
RFPs often allow for negotiating terms, including price, before a contract award.
Use Cases:
Suitable for projects requiring creativity and specialized expertise or where the solution isn't readily apparent.

Bid:
Purpose: To find a vendor for goods or services at the lowest price, often for standardized products or services.

Scope:
Typically involves a clear set of specifications and requirements, with the focus on price and compliance.
Evaluation:
The evaluation process is usually straightforward, with the lowest qualified bidder often winning the contract.

Negotiation:
Bids often involve a fixed price and limited negotiation opportunities.

Use Cases:
Suitable for projects with well-defined needs and where price is the primary factor.

What are the Processes for Purchasing Technology?

All technology purchases must be accessible to the visually impaired. This includes new technology purchases and software renewals.

A VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) on most purchases will be required to verify the purchase is compliant with Arkansas law.

***The department is not required to obtain a VPAT from a state/cooperative contract items (ex. Dell).

Software cannot be purchased via the P-Card unless approved in advance to verify that it meets the requirements.   

Software Purchases:

  • Software Purchase Request Form: Before purchasing software, departments must submit the Software Purchase Request form along with the necessary documentation (e.g., VPAT and HECVAT or IT Security Questionnaire (PDF).

  • Security Review Process: The IT Security team will review the submitted software documentation to ensure compliance with university and industry security requirements. The team will also work with the necessary users/departments to address any concerns with the vendor, if applicable.

  • Security Approval: Once the software is approved by IT Security, the department will be notified and can proceed with the requisition process as per standard operating procedures. Procurement will also be notified of the security approval. 
  • Existing Procurement Processes: Please note that all current procurement processes remain in effect, including those for any purchases or contracts exceeding $20,000. Departments should contact Procurement at procurement@AState.edu for further guidance on these purchases.
