| Bill Text: | RELATIVE TO AMENDMENTS TO CONTRACTS In the Year Two Thousand and Three The City of Nashua ordains that Chapter 2 “Administration”, Article IV “Officers And Employees”, Division 5 “Purchasing Manager” of the Nashua Revised Ordinances, is hereby amended by adding the following new language in italics: 1. “Sec. 2-256. Amendment to Contracts. No contract having been approved by the finance committee may be amended as to its scope of work or so as to increase sums payable to the contractor, without finance committee approval, except that the mayor, as chair of the finance committee, may approve changes in the scope of work and/or sums payable to a contractor if all of the following conditions are met: (a) The contract is for the demolition, construction, reconstruction, alteration, or repair of real property or purchase, installation, or repair of other tangible property; (b) The increased sums authorized are available from existing appropriations and do not exceed $25,000, or ten percent of the original amount of the contract, whichever is less, and; (c) The mayor makes a written finding that an immediate contract amendment is required to protect the public health or safety or to avoid substantial financial loss to the City and that the circumstances do not permit the convening of a special meeting of the finance committee in time to deal with the crisis. The written finding, specifying in detail the reason for the change, the need for immediate action, and the changed contract terms and amounts, shall be immediately filed with the city clerk, and shall be presented to the finance committee at its next meeting." All ordinances or parts of ordinances inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed. This ordinance shall become effective upon its enactment. |
