4. The form must be printed, completed and signed by the suppliers and returned to the College s Business Office by fax, (270) 901-1146 or mail to the College: Southcentral Kentucky Community and Technical College Business Office, 1845 Loop Drive., Bowling Green, KY 42101.
5. A current certificate of liability insurance will be needed prior to the suppliers doing any work on campus. See below for the insurance requirements.
