This policy establishes the policy and procedure for processing change orders and amendments related to formally bid construction contracts.
All City Staff that manage formally bid Construction Contracts (currently any construction bid over $100,000)
Council approval: July 1, 2016, Council Action 2016A-0540
The City of Minneapolis is committed to delivering high quality and cost effective construction projects. Change management is a critical element to achieving these goals. Despite the best efforts of the Project Manager, changes in project scope and schedule may be required due to unforeseen conditions. Any change to a construction contract requires City Council approval via a construction contract amendment.
It is the policy of the City of Minneapolis that changes to construction contracts are done in a timely, legal, and informed manner. In the interest of meeting the goals of delivering high quality and cost effective projects, it is in the City’s best interest to have a documented change management process that provides project and contract managers the authority to authorize project changes within the parameters of these policy and procedures. This policy applies to all City of Minneapolis construction projects.
The Purchasing Director (Agent) or designee is responsible for the development, establishment and maintenance procedures of this policy, and to ensure that the procedures are in compliance with applicable laws, City ordinances policies and rules.
