    300.1The General Manager shall designate a Chief Contracting Officer (“CCO”), who shall serve as the chief procurement officer of the Authority.

     

    300.2No director, officer or employee other than the CCO shall obligate the Authority to procure any goods, services or construction, or execute, administer or modify any contract, unless that director, officer or employee has been authorized to do so in writing by the CCO.  Any violation of this prohibition by an employee shall constitute misconduct for disciplinary purposes under chapter 2 of the Authority's regulations.

    300.4The CCO may not delegate authority to make an emergency or sole source procurement pursuant to sections 307 or 308, if the procurement has a value of $10,000 or more or make a payment for value received pursuant to section 312.

     

    300.5Whenever these regulations require the CCO to make a written determination concerning a procurement, the CCO shall place a copy of the required determination in the file for that procurement and assure that the determination is available for public inspection.

     

    300.6The Authority conferred by these regulations on the CCO to execute contracts, options, change orders, or payments for value received shall be subject to prior approval by the Board whenever so provided by resolution of the Board. The CCO shall maintain a copy of all such resolutions in a file available for public inspection.

     

    300.7No contract requiring the submission to, and approval by, the District of Columbia Council in accordance with D.C. Code § 2-301.05a shall be awarded unless first approved by a majority of the Board by resolution prior to submission to the Council.
