Explanation
This ordinance shall amend ordinances numbered 1481-2014, 1501-2014, and 1503-2014 by removing the "$20,000 per job" threshold noted in the aforementioned ordinances and replacing it with "$100,000 per job" language. The procurement provisions of City Codes Chapter 329 have recently been modernized per Ordinance 3062-2014 and, in order to take advantage of the new $100,000 per contract threshold for construction, it is necessary to amend the aforementioned ordinances.
Fiscal Impact: Auditor's Certificates AC036794, AC036629, and AC036778 are currently available for various expenditures per Ordinances 1481-2014, 1501-2014, and 1503-2014. The balances of $99,228.45, $95,475.00, and $162,630.21 will remain unchanged. Only the threshold per contract is being amended from $20,000.00 to $100,000.00 for construction jobs per Ordinance 3062-2014.
Emergency Justification: It is necessary to initiate these amendments immediately so that relevant construction contracts can be started without delay during the current construction season.
