CC RESOLUTION 5503RESOLUTION NO. 5503
A RESOLUTION ADOPTED PURSUANT TO PUBLIC
CONTRACTS CODE § 20168 FINDING THAT AN
EMERGENCY HAS EXISTED WITHIN THE CITY,
AUTHORIZING CONTRACTING WITHOUT THE NEED FOR
BIDDING PURSUANT TO PUBLIC CONTRACTS CODE §
22050
The City Council does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. Pursuant to Public Contracts Code § 20168, the City Council may, upon a
four -fifths vote, declare that public interest and necessity demand the
immediate expenditure of public money to safeguard life, health, or
property because of an emergency.
& In accordance with Public Contracts Code §§ 20168 and 22050, the City
Council may repair or replace a public facility, take any directly related and
immediate action required by that emergency, and procure the necessary
equipment, services, and supplies for those purposes, without giving
notice for bids to let contracts.
C. On August 15, 2024, a sudden, unforeseen collapse occurred on a City
storm drain line located in Grand Avenue approximately 10-ft west of the
intersection of Grand Avenue and Indiana Street.
D. In compliance with applicable law, and to protect public, health, safety and
welfare, the City took immediate emergency action to cause the storm
drain to be repaired beginning on August 15, 2024.
E. The utility line collapse created a sudden, unexpected occurrence that
poses a clear and imminent danger to City property, its citizens, and
employees. This threat required immediate action to prevent or mitigate
the loss or impairment of essential public services.
F.. Under such emergency conditions, the City Council finds that the delay
resulting from public bidding would imperil essential public services.
SECTION 2: Approval; Delegation. The City Council approves the expense of $100,000
from the General Fund for the time and materials contracting cost required for the
repairs required to remediate the emergency described in Section 1, above. The City
Manager or designee is authorized to execute agreements or other associated
documents, in forms approved by the City Attorney, to effectuate the necessary repairs.

adoption and remain effective unless superseded by a subsequent resolution.

this emergency action at its next regularly scheduled meeting and at every regularly
