Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, the city manager is authorized, without complying with the competitive bidding procedures of this title, to execute any contract, if the amount of the expenditure or income is less than $250,000. If no expenditure or income amount is stated in a contract, the amount is the estimated value of the goods or services to be exchanged over the term of the contract, including any renewal options, as determined in good faith by city staff.

The price must be established based upon a fair market value appraisal conducted by city staff or under an agreement executed by the city manager with a qualified independent real estate appraiser. If the established price is less than $250,000, the real property shall be listed on the open market by the city manager or with a licensed real estate broker under an exclusive or nonexclusive listing agreement executed by the city manager, unless the city manager determines that it is in the best interest of the city to do otherwise.
b. The entire net income from the sale of the property after reduction for city staff labor reimbursement, if applicable, shall be deposited into the specific city fund which, under city accounting procedures, carries or has carried the parcel or parcels of real estate as an asset of the fund.

G. The city manager's authority to execute contract amendments as specified in this section is limited to changes that do not exceed the general scope of the original contract unless in the judgment of the city manager a contract amendment exceeding the general scope of the original contract is necessary to protect any person, property, equipment, materials, or the environment from the risk of damage or injury, or, where damage or injury has occurred, to prevent the occurrence of further damage, injury, or deterioration.
