RESOLUTION NO. 1405
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS FINDING AND DECLARING THAT AN
EMERGENCY CONDITION EXISTS ARISING FROM
DAMAGE TO THE CITY HALL WATER MAIN LOCATED
AT 2 PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD AND AUTHORIZING
EMERGENCY RELOCATION AND REPAIR TO THE
WATER MAIN WITHOUT PUBLIC BIDDING
RECITALS
A. Sections 22035 and 22050 of the Public Contracts Code authorize the City
of Rolling Hills (“City”) to proceed with awarding a public works contract to perform
emergency work upon adoption by the City Council by a four-fifths vote of a resolution
declaring that the public interest and necessity demand the immediate expenditure of
public funds to safeguard life, health, or property;
B. The City Hall water main service located at 2 Portuguese Bend Road
(“water main”) is in need of emergency relocation/repair as a result of water leaking
approximately six to eight feet below the asphalt pavement in the parking lot;
C. This represents the third City Hall water main leak in less than three years
with the previous two repairs being significant in costs to the City;
D. Due to the original, aged service line depths, it is warranted to re-route a
new service line at 18” to 24” depth with the majority of the linear footage in the
landscaped area adjacent to City Hall;
E. The repairs are necessary to preserve the health, safety and welfare of the
City;
F. The need for repair of the City’s water main requires immediate action that
will not permit undergoing the formal competitive bidding process because the leak
appears to be growing, releasing a larger volume of water, and increasing the City’s utility
bill;
G. The Assistant to the City Manager solicited proposals from Pearce Concrete
& Masonry, Inc., Stephens Plumbing, Tier One Mechanical, Inc., Verne’s Plumbing and
Carney Engineering Construction, Inc. and received written acceptable proposals to
perform the emergency work from all, and the City now wishes to award an emergency
contract for repair of the City’s storm drain to Pearce Concrete & Masonry, Inc.;
H. Public Contract Code section 22050 also provides that the City Council
may, by resolution, delegate the authority to order any action required by the emergency
and to procure the necessary equipment, services, and supplies for those purposes,
