§ 2-149. Alterations or modifications of contracts.  


Latest version.
  • Where, in the opinion of the department head and city manager, it becomes necessary for the prosecution of any work or improvement under contract to make alterations or modifications in such contract, such alterations or modifications may be approved by the city manager that have a net aggregate fiscal impact of the greater of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) or five per cent (5%) of the original contract price without receiving prior city council approval. Once change orders authorized by the city manager are approved by the city council, the fiscal amount of such change orders shall not be considered in calculating the five-per-cent limitation. Change orders in excess of five per cent (5%) of the original contract price must be approved in advance by the city council.
