Queen Creek town management to OK contracts for large capital projects at council direction
by Richard H. Dyer | Queen Creek Independent
Contracts for large capital infrastructure projects including road construction can now be approved by town of Queen Creek management rather than council members.
The town’s procurement policy had required all contracts and agreements of $25,000 or more be approved by the town council. A new delegation resolution option approved Aug. 15 by the council now allows a project’s contracts to be approved by department directors or the town manager.
“No. 1, we’re going to be able to finish capital projects faster. It’s going to streamline the contract-approval process and it’s going to save time for both the council and the staff,” Public Works Director Troy White said of using a delegation resolution.
