2.60.210 Retroactive approval.
Retroactive approval of a contract means the award or execution of a contract where work was commenced without final award or execution. The City Manager may make a retroactive approval of a contract only if the responsible employee submits a copy of the proposed contract to the City Manager, along with a written request for contract retroactive approval, that contains:
(1) An explanation of the reason work was commenced before the contract was finally awarded or executed;
(2) A description of steps being taken to prevent similar occurrences in the future;
(3) Evidence that, but for the failure to finally award or execute the contract, the employee complied with all other steps required to properly select a contractor and negotiate the contract; and
(4) A proposed form of contract. (Ord. 135 § V(E), passed 3-13-2018)
