ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-20-02 ofthe Executive Director of the Public Works Department DELEGATING CONTRACT AND CHANGE ORDER SIGNING AUTHORITY TO PUBLIC WORKS DIVISION DIRECTORS AND EXPENDITURE LIMIT AUTHORIZATIONS TO PUBLIC WORKS FINANCIAL SERVICES MANAGER AND REPEALING ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-10-11. The Executive Director of the Public Works Department of the City of Eugene finds that: A. Under the provisions of Chapter IV, Section 16 of the Eugene Charter of 2002, the City Manager is designated as the administrative head of the City, specifically authorized to appoint and remove all employees (except as otherwise provided in the Charter), organize, and, as deemed necessary, disband and reorganize various City departments, and to enforce all ordinances of the City. B. Pursuant to that authority, I have been designated as Executive Director of the City's Public Works Department. My appointment has most recently been affirmed by the City Manager's Administrative Order No. 21-19-08. In such capacity, I have the responsibility for supervision of the Public Works Department and its employees. C. In addition to those responsibilities, pursuant to the City Manager's Administrative Order No. 21-13-03, as Executive Director of the Public Works Department, I have authority to execute contracts on behalf of the City in an amount not to exceed $100,000, and to sub-delegate contract signing authority. This authority also includes the execution of contract change orders which are within budget contingency for that contract or project, and are within change order guidelines of the Public Contract Administrative Rules. Administrative Order No. 21-13-03 also granted me expenditure authority and the authority to sub-delegate my expenditure authority by Administrative Order or by approval noted on expenditure authorization forms. D. Most recently through Administrative Order No. 58-10-11, on July 22, 2010, the Public Works Department Director has delegated limited contract and change order signing authority to Public Works Division Directors. That Order also reaffirmed the policies and procedures for processing contracts and executing change orders within the Public Works Department, delegated to the Financial Services Manager of the Public Works Department the limited authority to authorize expenditure approval limits for all Public Works delegates, and limited the further delegation of the authorities granted through the Order.
