The manager, or designee, is authorized, without assembly approval, to enter into change orders with respect to borough projects where the amount of additional expenditure occasioned by the change order or orders does not, in the aggregate, exceed the total contract amounts approved for the project, plus project contingency equal to 10 percent of the approved contract amount. Additional contingency may be requested and approved by the assembly. The manager, or designee, shall report monthly to the assembly the nature and amount of such change orders. Project approval should include a budget for the project that includes a contingency line item of 10 percent. Change orders above the manager’s approval limit, but not exceeding five percent of the original contract amount or $50,000, whichever is lower, require approval by:

A. The mayor and deputy presiding officer;

B. The mayor and one assembly member in the absence of the deputy presiding officer;

C. The deputy presiding officer and one assembly member in the absence of the mayor.

Such approval may be by signature or electronic signature. Change orders greater than five percent of approved contract amount or $50,000, whichever is lower, require assembly approval. The authority contained in this section is independent and exclusive of the purchasing authority defined in KIBC 3.30.010. [Ord. FY2019-19 §2, 2019; Ord. FY2013-11 §2, 2013; Ord.
