HomeMy WebLinkAboutReso. 2024-043 - Emergency Construction Contract to repair and replace sub-standarad sewer pipe and failing asphalt concrete pavement on Placer StreetRESOLUTION NO. 2024-043
WHEREAS, Public Contract Code section 22050 and Redding Municipal Code 4.22.120(A)
provide that, in the case of emergency, a public agency may repair or replace a public facility, take
any directly related and immediate action required by that emergency, and procure the necessary
equipment, services, and supplies for those purposes without giving notice for bids to let contracts;
and
WHEREAS, on April 1, 2024, Council voted unanimously to enter into a Contract Amendment,
Settlement Agreement and Release regarding the Magnolia Area Sewer Improvements — Phase I
project; and
WHEREAS, portions of the underground sewer improvements constructed as part of the Magnolia
Area Sewer Improvements — Phase I project were not constructed in accordance with the contract
documents; and
WHEREAS, proper sewer infrastructure is critical to public health; and
WHEREAS, if not repaired immediately, the improperly installed sewer infrastructure has a high
potential for failure during high-flow periods, winter, potentially ultimately causing significant
disruptions in service, failures and damage to associated public and adjacent private infrastructure;
and
WHEREAS, Placer Street is a primary arterial with moderate traffic volumes and the asphalt
concrete pavement is in a failing condition as a result of longitudinal and transverse sewer trench
pavement patches within the roadway section presenting a public safety concern; and
WHEREAS, a competitive solicitation for bids is anticipated to require six (6) months and would
further delay the needed repairs to prevent sewer blockages, sink holes and further damage to the
public and private infrastructure until 2025; and
WHEREAS, continued pavement failure and blockage of the sewer conveyance system would
threaten the safety and property of roadway users and persons nearby; and
WHEREAS, isolation of the impacted area so that the delay due to competitive bidding could be
accommodated would not mitigate or eliminate the threat to persons and property;
The City Council of the City of Redding finds that the recitals set forth above are true and
correct and are hereby adopted as findings of fact.
2. The public interest and necessity require the immediate expenditure of public money to
restore the sewer conveyance system to full capacity, protect the public health, safety and
welfare, and prevent further damage to the roadway.
3. The City Council of the City of Redding therefore authorizes the City Manager to award
an emergency construction contract to repair the sewer system and roadway along Placer
Street.
4. The action authorized herein shall be reviewed by the City Council at all regular meetings
of the Council until such time as the City Council determines that the emergency is abated.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing resolution was introduced and adopted at a regular
meeting of the City Council of the City of Redding on the 7th day of May, 2024, by the following
vote:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: - Dacquisto, Mezzano, Munns, Winter, and Audette
