Who must approve all Change Orders?

The approval of all Change Orders is the responsibility of the City's Project Manager. This role is pivotal in ensuring that any modifications to the original contract, such as adjustments in the scope of work, budget changes, or timeline extensions, are properly evaluated. The City’s Project Manager acts as a representative of the city’s interests, ensuring that all changes align with project goals and remain compliant with legal and regulatory standards.

This oversight helps maintain control over project quality, budget, and timelines. By having a designated individual with authority to approve Change Orders, the process is streamlined, and decisions are made by someone with comprehensive knowledge of the project and its constraints. The involvement of the City’s Project Manager also ensures that any changes are documented and justified, protecting both the city and contractor from misunderstandings or disputes later in the project.
