RESOLUTION NO. 8389
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF AZUSA WAIVING FORMAL BIDDING PROCEDURES
AND AUTHORIZING PURCHASE OF AN ALUMINUM DOME
ROOF FOR RESERVOIR NO. 1 AND MAKING NECESSARY
FINDINGS REQUIRED BY THE PUBLIC CONTRACTS CODE
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA DOES RESOLVE
AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: The City Council of the City of Azusa
does find, determine and declare that:
A. On February 9 and February 17, 1988, two
severe windstorms damaged the plastic bubble
roof on Reservoir No. 1 causing it to collapse
into the reservoir;
B. Since then the City Water Department has had
to increase the chlorination of the water in the
reservoir as well as continuously chlorinate it
to insure water quality. With a cover on the
reservoir such efforts would not be required
because the cover would keep numerous contami-
nants out of the reservoir water. Additionally,
the increased chlorination has caused a change
in the taste of the water due to nonhazardous
particles being dislodged from reservoir walls
and water pipes, to residential and commercial
customers;
C. In addition to the water quality problems,
the lack of a roof structure on the reservoir
has caused substantial security and safety
problems. The roof structure prevented persons
from contaminating the water supply. Despite
the fact that a fence is around the perimeter
of the reservoir, it is now possible for people
to throw objects or contaminants into the
reservoir without climbing over the fence.
City staff has noticed an increase in the
number of persons at or near the reservoir
since the roof collapsed;
D. The public interest and necessity demand,
therefore, the immediate expenditure of public
money to safeguard life, health and property
with respect to the installation of a dome roof
for the reservoir. Council also finds that it
would be impractical, useless or uneconomical
in such circumstances to follow the bidding
procedures and that the public welfare would
be promoted by dispensing with them.
SECTION 2: Pursuant to the authority of
Section 20168 of the Public Contract Code,
Chapter 2.68 of the Azusa Municipal Code, and
other applicable law, the City Council hereby
waives the formal bid procedures for purchase
and installation of an aluminum dome roof for
Water Reservoir No. 1 in an amount not to
exceed $210,000, and further authorizes appro-
priation of funds from the water retained earnings
to fund this expenditure.

SECTION 3. This project is exempt from the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
pursuant to the provisions'of 14 Cal.Admin.Code Section
15301 as a Class 1 categorical exemption based upon the
fact that the project consists of the repair and minor
alteration of an existing public structure and involves
no expansion of use beyond that previously existing. The
project is also exempt under the provisions of 14 Cal.Admin.
Code Section 15269 as an emergency project based upon the
fact that the project consists of emergency repairs to a
public service facility necessary to maintain service and
as a specific action necessary to prevent or mitigate an
emergency.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the
adoption of this resolution.
