construction proceeds without delay, it is recommended that special authority be
granted to the City Manager to approve contract change orders for this project up to
10% of the awarded contract amount. This will allow the City Manager, upon the
recommendation of the City Engineer, to authorize up to $286,582.15 in cumulative
