<br /> H <br /> ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO.58-03-04 <br /> of the <br /> Executive Manager <br /> Public Works Department <br /> City of Eugene, Oregon <br /> DELEGATING CONTRACT AND CHANGE ORDER <br /> SIGNING AUTHORITY TO PUBLIC WORKS DIVISION <br /> MANAGERS AND REPEALING ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER <br /> NO. 58-02-20. <br /> The Executive Manager of the Public Works Department of the City of Eugene finds <br /> that: <br /> A. Under the provisions of Chapter IV, Section 16 of the Eugene Charter of 1976, the <br /> City Manager is designated as the administrative head of the City, and is specifically authorized to <br /> appoint and remove all employees (except as otherwise provided in the Charter), and to enforce all <br /> ordinances of the City. <br /> • B. Pursuant to that authority, the former City Manager, James R. Johnson, and the <br /> current City Manager pro tem, James R. Carlson, have designated and/or affirmed my appointment <br /> ; as Executive Manager of the City's Public Works Department. In such capacity I have the <br /> responsibility for`supervision of that department an`7'its employees. <br /> C. In addition to those responsibilities, pursuant to the City Manager's Administrative <br /> Order No. 21-01-07, as Executive Manager of the Public Works Department I have authority to <br /> execute contracts on behalf of the City of less than $ i 00,000, and to sub-delegate contract signing <br /> authority. This authority also includes the execution of contract change orders which are within <br /> budget contingency for that contract or prof ect, and are within change order guidelines of the Public <br /> Contract Administrative Rules. <br /> D. On June 13, 2002, I issued Administrative Order No. 58-02-20 establishing the <br /> policies and procedures for processing contracts and executing change orders within the Public <br /> Works Department. Although authority was delegated to the City Engineer and Airport Manager <br /> to execute change orders for construction contracts in the manner provided in the Order, no other <br /> sub-delegations of contract signing authority have been made. <br /> . E. Sub-delegation of the authority to sign contracts of $25,000 or less and the authority <br /> to execute change orders that do not exceed $25,000 to each of the Public Works Department <br /> Division Managers would be more efficient and would facilitate the timely and orderly execution <br /> of such contracts and .change orders, and Administrative Order No. 58-02-20 should therefore be <br /> Administrative Order - 1 <br /> r:~adminordladm~02pwcontsubdel.wpd(01/08/03) <br /> <br />
