This charter ordinance requires finance and personnel committee approval of existing single or sole source contract amendments when the original amount of the contract added to the amended amount of the contract, is $50,000 or greater.
In addition, this charter ordinance also waives the above requirement, upon action of the city purchasing director, in the event the amendment is necessary in order to respond to emergency situations that threaten life, health, safety or the continuation of work.
