RESOLUTION NO. 970790
Providing for the standardization of contract forms among
City departments.
WHEREAS, the City enters into contracts through its
various departments; and
WHEREAS, because various departments have different
procedures, contracts by different departments which are similar in content are
different in form; and
WHEREAS, this variance in contracts which are of the
same type creates a situation which is inefficient for the City and is
confusing to entities which deal with the City; and
WHEREAS, the Council desires that such contracting
procedures be standardized; NOW, THEREFORE,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF KANSAS CITY:
Section 1. That, within the limits of the City
Charter, the City Manager shall establish a system that will cause all City
departments to use the same procedures in bidding and entering into contracts
and to use the same templates for such contracts.
Section 2. That the City Manager shall report to
the Council on the progress of the program within 30 days after the passage of
this resolution and thereafter quarterly until the program is complete.
