| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
In compliance with County Administrative Policies & Procedures Manual, the County General Services Director is authorized to approve services for emergency work and other non-grant funded repair, construction and/or urgent design projects under $100,000 approval from the County Purchasing Agent and/or the County Administrators Office depending upon project funding. All projects awarded that are over $100,000 or any grant funded work will be brought to the Board of Supervisors for approval. On-call consultant contracts may be utilized for work on a non-emergency basis, but they do not preclude the County from seeking other firms on the basis of requests for qualifications for any other major project.
