Post-contract reports. Upon completion of any outsourced contract, a report quantifying the actual savings to the City shall be filed with the officials named in Section 17-1901. Such report shall be made available to the public during regular business hours and on the City's official website. §17-1904. Waiver. The Director of Finance, the Managing Director or, with respect to competitively bid contracts, the Procurement Commissioner, may waive or modify the provisions of this Chapter whenever compliance with this Chapter would make it impracticable for a City department, board or commission to perform a necessary function or service. ______________________ Explanation: Italics indicates new matter added. ..End 2
