Change orders are issued to cover costs or address changes in terms and conditions associated with unforeseen problems not addressed in the bidding or contract document, or changes/modifications that may be recommended after a contract award. Change orders on contracts may be approved by the City Manager for amounts less than $50,000. Change orders of $50,000 or greater must be approved by the Governing Body; provided, however, that in instances where it is in the best interest of the City for a change order to be implemented prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Governing Body, the City Manager shall have the authority to authorize the change subject to ratification by the Governing Body.
