Any contract containing any of the following provisions shall be subject to approval by DGS even though it may also be one of the types otherwise exempted from approval:

1. Contracts of hazardous nature over $100 must be certified by the Office of Risk and Insurance Management as complying with applicable insurance requirements.  However, hazardous contracts do not require review by the Office of Legal Services unless the contract is otherwise subject to DGS approval.
    
2. Any provision whereby the state agrees to indemnify or save harmless any party to the contract or any third person against or on account of any claim, liability, or matter arising out of, or connected with the contract.
    
3. Any provision whereby the state agrees to assume responsibility for matters beyond its control (e.g., in rental contracts, a promise to assume full responsibility for damage to rented equipment, regardless of the cause of damage).
    
4. Any provision calling for payment of rental or other services in advance.
    
5. Any provision creating a contingent liability against the state (e.g., vendors’ printed rental contracts frequently contain clauses obligating the user of rented equipment to serious contingent liabilities).
    
6. Any provisions in a contract for rental of equipment creating any financial obligation or liability whatsoever against the state other than the payment of rent, transportation costs, and costs of maintenance and repairs.
    
7. Contracts for micrographics (any type of microform such as microfilm, microfiche, etc.) and/or optical disk services, storage, or hardware rental that have not been certified by the Office of Information Services (OIS) as complying with applicable micrographics requirements.  See SAM Sections 1650 through 1655.
