§ 4.24.020. Contract modification and change orders.

A.

Approval by purchasing agent. Before any change, revision or modification shall be made in any contract requiring the expenditure of money or the relinquishment of rights or privileges by the metropolitan government, such change, revision or alteration shall be approved by the purchasing agent. The purchasing agent shall disapprove any change, revision or alteration of such contract if, in his opinion, the best interests of the metropolitan government require that a new procurement be initiated for the items included in the proposed change or modification. The mayor shall make the final determination if the director of any affected departments, commission, board or agency objects to the decision of the purchasing agent.

B.

Approval by Mayor and Director of Law. Any changes, revisions or alterations of contracts, deeds, leases or other instruments in writing in which the metropolitan government is concerned shall be approved by the department of law, as provided by Section 8.602(e) of the Metropolitan Charter, and shall be signed by the mayor.

C.

Availability of Funds. Where any change, revision or alteration of a contract in which the metropolitan government is concerned requires an expenditure of money, the director of finance or his designee must approve the change. Funds must be available or obtainable by means authorized in the Charter or in ordinances.
