INTEREST AND NECESSITY DEMANDED THE
IMMEDIATE EXPENDITURE OF PUBLIC MONEY TO
REPAIR WELL NO. 4 AT THE CITY OF TUSTIN'S 17T"
STREET DESALTER TO SAFEGUARD LIFE, HEALTH,
AND PROPERTY
WHEREAS, groundwater production at Well Number 4 at the 17th Street Desalter
has stopped due to the mechanical failure of the well pump and motor; and
WHEREAS, Well No. 4 is a critical component of the City's water supply system,
and is the largest production well with a capacity of approximately 2,200 gallons per
minute; and
WHEREAS, water production from Well No. 4 is also temporarily offsetting the
loss of emergency, fire and operational storage from Rawlings Reservoir until its
replacement is completed; and
WHEREAS, without groundwater production from Well No.4, the City's water
system may not be able to adequately respond to an emergency that may occur during
peak demand periods; and
WHEREAS, the City's imported water supplies may be reduced in the event
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California implements its Drought Allocation
Plan for 2008.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that in accordance with Section 22050
of the Public Contracts Code and based on the substantial evidence set forth in the
agenda report, that this emergency repair will not permit a delay resulting from
competitive solicitations of bids and that this action is necessary to respond to the
emergency;
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Public Works Department's decision
to complete the repair of Well No. 4 without soliciting competitive bids is hereby ratified.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of
