A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA DECLARING THAT THE PUBLIC
INTEREST AND NECESSITY DEMANDED THE
IMMEDIATE EXPENDITURE OF PUBLIC MONEY TO
REPAIR WALNUT WELL TO SAFEGUARD LIFE, HEALTH,
AND PROPERTY
WHEREAS, groundwater production at Walnut Well has stopped due to the
mechanical failure of the well equipment; and
WHEREAS, Walnut Well is a critical component of the City's water supply
system, with a capacity of approximately 800 gallons per minute; and
WHEREAS, the loss of production from Walnut Well has resulted in lower water
service pressures and water supply to the immediate area because customer water
demands are presently increasing with the onset of warmer weather; and
WHEREAS, without groundwater production from Walnut Well, the City's water
system may not be able to adequately respond to operational, emergency and fire flows
that may be required 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.
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 Walnut Well without soliciting competitive bids is hereby ratified.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of
Tustin held on the 3rd day of June 2008.
