RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
NATIONAL CITY RESCINDING THE EXISTING CONTRACT
CHANGE ORDER POLICY (RESOLUTION NO. 13,924) AND
ADOPTING A NEW CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER POLICY
WHEREAS, the Construction Industry Federation (CIF) in
their effort to improve the quality and performance of Public Works
contracting as well as to decrease the costs conducted a survey to
determine how agencies in San Diego County process minor change
orders. The results of the survey indicate that the City of
National City's Change Order Policy is substantially more
restrictive than 50% of the local city and county agencies. Based
on their survey, they have requested local agencies to revise their
present policies; and
WHEREAS, the present policy for change orders was
established by Resolution No. 13,924, and allows the City Engineer
to approve change orders up to $2,000 and the City Manager to
approve change orders up to $5,000. A11 other change orders must
be approved by the City Council. Due to construction costs, almost
every contract requires the City Manager's or City Council's
approval. The present change order policy results in cumbersome
administrative procedures for approval of minor change orders.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of National City that the existing Change Order Policy
(Resolution No. 13,924) is rescinded.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the following Change Order
Policy is adopted and the designated official of the City is
authorized to approve change
