Works Projects, selected and contracted with a bidder, and the work of
improvement is supervised and constructed, it is incumbent on the City to
reach a decision that the work of improvement is finally complete; and
WHEREAS, the determination of completion requires a technical comparison
of the bid specifications with the as-built project, a matter usually within
the realm of the contract administrator or the City Engineer; and
WHEREAS, it has been the City's practice to have the Council acknowledge
the completion of the project and accept the work product, often when they
have not had the opportunity or expertise to inspect the project; and

shorten the length of the Council agenda, i t is recommended that the City
Manager be authorized to acknowledge completion of Public Works Projects, and
make minor finalizing budget appropriations.
