RESOLUTION NO. 7493
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF AZUSA AUTHORIZING THE REPAIR OF
A SUB -STATION FEEDER ON AN EMERGENCY BASIS
WITHOUT FORMAL PUBLIC BIDDING PURSUANT TO
THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 20168 OF THE
PUBLIC CONTRACTS CODE
WHEREAS on May 24, 1984 a sub -station feeder utilized
by the City's Light and Water Department as one of the major
electrical feeders for the City was rendered inoperable;
WHEREAS if said feeder had not been repaired on
May 24 and May 25, 1984 substantial portions of the City
could have been blacked out as a result of the overload placed
on the two remaining feeders;
WHEREAS if the feeder had not been immediately repaired
on May 24 and May 25, 1984, not only would the City have likely
experienced a blackout, but the blackout would have been for a
prolonged period of time, likely many days, in that the particular
feeder cables used are not common and it would have taken consid-
erable effort to obtain replacements in a short period of time;
WHEREAS on the basis of the above facts, the City Council
finds and declares that there was a great public calamity, as an
extraordinary fire, flood, storm, epidemic, or other disaster
within the meaning of section 20168 of the Public Contracts Code
and further finds and declares that on the basis of the above
facts the public interest and necessity demand the immediate
expenditure of public money to safeguard life, health and property;
WHEREAS in spite of the authority to waive formal public
bidding for such repairs, the Director of Utilities contacted
seven contractors to perform the necessary work and found that
only two of the seven contractors were capable of doing the work
and only one of those two contractors would be able to do it
within the time required to prevent the harm described above
and further found that the contractor has an excellent reputation
amoung public utilities for performing this kind of work and that
the amount proposed for such work was reasonable.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF AZUSA, that pursuant to the authority of section
20168 of the Public Contracts Code, and the above -referenced
findings, the expenditure of the sum not to exceed $13,000.00,
for emergency repairs to the sub -station feeder is hereby
authorized.
