Title

A substitute charter ordinance relating to review and approval of certain city contracts.

Sections

16-05-3-b am

Analysis

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.

Body

The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee do ordain as follows:

Part 1.  Section 16-05-3-b of the charter is amended to read:

16-05.  Purchasing.

3.  EXCEPTION TO BID REQUIREMENTS.

b. The purchasing director may negotiate amendments to any existing contracts.  >>When an existing single or sole source contract of less than $50,000 is amended and the original amount of the contract added to the amended amount of the contract is $50,000 or greater, the single or sole source contract amendment shall not be effective unless approved by the finance and personnel committee.  This requirement shall not apply to contract amendments, upon waiver by the city purchasing director, that are necessary to respond to emergency situations that threaten life, health, safety or the continuation of work.<<  

Part 2.  This is a charter ordinance and shall take effect 60 days after its passage and publication, unless within 60 days a referendum petition is filed as provided in s. 66.0101(5), Wis. Stats., in which event this ordinance shall not take effect until submitted to a referendum and approved by a majority of the electors voting thereon.
