Notwithstanding the provisions of this chapter, if the Director of Public Works determines that additional or extra work on any public works project is required to complete the project as originally intended, the Director of Public Works is authorized to approve contract change orders for additional or extra work on any public works contract without complying with the bidding requirements established in this chapter, provided that each individual contract change order does not exceed the required dollar value for bidding established by Section 22032 of the California Public Contract Code; and, further, that the aggregate total of all such contract change orders for any one public works project does not exceed the value of the project contingency established for the project at the time the contract is awarded. Under this same authority, the Director of Public Works is authorized to approve extensions of time to public works contracts up to a maximum of sixty calendar days.
