A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO A WARD COMPETITIVE BIDS
EXCEEDING $35,000 AND APPROVE AMENDMENTS TO PUBLIC CONTRACTS DURING THE
PERIOD OF JULY 17,2007 TO SEPTEMBER 10,2007 WHILE THE COMMON COUNCIL IS IN
RECESS.
WHEREAS, Chapter 2, Public Contracts, Section 2.706 "Public Contracts for Goods and
Services," (2)(b)&(c), of the City of Springfield Municipal Code limits the City Manager's authority to
make purchases and award contracts to amounts exceeding $35,000; and Section 2.706(3)&(4) prohibits
amendments to public contracts where the amendment cost exceeds certain limits except in the case of
City Council approval; and,
WHEREAS, delaying these purchases and agreement approvals until the September 10, 2007
Council meeting would waste valuable time, increase the City's exposure and might raise costs and
reduce public service; and,
WHEREAS, there may occur the need to execute contracts which have been competitively bid
for which funds have been budgeted, and for which the lowest responsible bid is in excess of $35,000
and which for reasons of public welfare, safety, and cost effectiveness need to be awarded during the
Council's holiday recess from July 17,2007 to September 10,2007; and,
WHEREAS, there may occur the need to amend contracts where the amended cost exceeds
certain specified limits during the Council holiday recess from July 17,2007 to September 10,2007.

certain limits imposed by Section 2.706(3) of the Springfield Municipal Code, except in cases of City
