§ 7.901. Contract Disputes.

A.

Applicability. The Section applies to disputes which arise under, or by virtue of, a contract between the City and a contractor. This includes without limitation, disputes based upon breach of contract, mistake, misrepresentation, change orders, or other cause for contract modification or rescission.

B.

Authority. The Chief Procurement Officer, after consultation with the City Attorney or designee, shall have the authority to settle and resolve any disputes arising from City contracts; provided, however, that if the settlement requires an expenditure of funds by the City in addition to amounts previously authorized by City Council or this Code in excess of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00), and up to one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) with the approval of the Chief Financial Officer, the settlement shall be subject to the approval of City Council.
