RESOLUTION NO. 4749
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF REDLANDS DECLARING A PUBLIC EMERGENCY AND
DETERMINING THAT WELL MAINTENANCE IS NECESSARY
AND AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASING DEPARTMENT TO
CONTRACT WITH LAYNE WESTERN/ McCALLA BROS. TO
PERFORM THE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE WITHOUT THE
SOLICITATION OF COMPETITIVE BIDS.
WHEREAS, California is entering into the fifth straight
year of statewide drought, and the result of this drought is a
dramatic decline in groundwater levels in the Redlands area; and
WHEREAS, the decline in groundwater levels has reached
the pump setting levels in many City wells and the continued
operation of these wells at their highest achievable capacity is
necessary for the health and welfare of the Redlands water
consumer; and
WHEREAS, many other well operators in Southern California
are pursuing emergency pump modification work and there is a long
waiting list for such work to be performed, and in order to have
the required modifications completed for Redlands' peak demand
period, the City must proceed in an expeditious manner to contract
with the only local contractor available to perform the work for
Redlands; and
WHEREAS, unless the City immediately contracts for well
maintenance services, this City Council has determined that the
present five year drought and the rapid groundwater decline may
jeopardize the City's ability to provide water to its citizens; and
WHEREAS, entering into a formal sealed bidding procedure
will not fulfill the expeditious requirements for this project,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Redlands has determined that a public emergency exists
and does thereby direct the Public Works Department, Utilities
Division and the Finance Department, Purchasing Division, to
immediately enter in to an Agreement with Layne Western/McCalla
Bros. to perform all needed well system modifications.
