The engagement of legal services is a contractual service, subject to the provisions of Chapter 16, Wis. Stats.. See PRO-204, Contractual Services Procurement.
All requests for procurement of legal services will be processed through the State Bureau of Procurement as a Request for Purchasing Approval/Authority (RPA). See PRO-210, RPA Policy and Procedure. Agencies will not send requests directly to the governor's legal counsel.
This policy does not apply to contracts pursuant to s. 14.11, Wis. Stats., for legal services paid from the Department of Justice special counsel appropriation.
