FROM: Phil Batchelor, County Administrator
DATE: October 7, 1986
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZING THE DIRECTOR OF GENERAL SERVICES TO EXECUTE CHANGE
ORDERS TO CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
Specific Request(s) or Recommendation(s) & Background & Justification
I. RECOMMENDATION
AUTHORIZE the General Services Director to order changes or additions
in the work being performed under construction contracts subject to
the provisions of Public Contract Code Article 3.5, commencing with
Section 20121, provided such orders are in writing and the extra cost
to the County for any change or addition to the work so ordered is
within the limits specified in Public Contract Code, Section 20142.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT
There are no financial impacts, except the recommended authorization
will reduce paper work and make the administration of building
construction contracts more efficient.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND
A. The Public ,Contract Code, Section 20142, specifies that, "The
board of supervisors may, by board order, authorize the county
engineer, or other county officer, to order changes or additions
in the work being performed under construction contracts."
Section 20142 requires that such orders shall be in writing and
that the extra cost for any change or addition to the work so
ordered shall not exceed the following:
1. $5,000 on original contracts for $50,000 or less; nor
2. Ten percent of the amount of original contracts exceeding
$50,000, but in no event shall the extra cost for any change
or addition to the work so ordered exceed $25,000.
B. By an Order dated August 20, 1985, the Board authorized the Public
Works Director to execute change orders as described above. When
Architectural Division functions were included under the new
General Services Department, comparable authorization was not
given to the General Services Director.
C. Authorization is needed so that the County can continue to process
building construction contract change orders in a timely manner.
