SUBJECT: EMERGENCY STREET RESTORATION WORK
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this report is to request Council approval for the City to enter into a number of
emergency street restoration projects related to the recent Northridge earthquake.
The Public Contract Code pennits the City to bypass normal contract bid procedures by declaring
that the public interest and necessity demand the immediate expenditure of public money to
safeguard life, health, or property.
Critical repairs within the street rights-of-way are currently being identified in the field. Staff
recommends that this emergency repair work be performed by dividing the City into a number of
zones and by entering into separate contracts for each zone. At this time, the contract for the
Canyon Country zone has been prepared and bid on, and is ready for contract execution. Staff
expects contracts for the remaining zones to be ready within the next five days.
RECOMMENDATION
1. That the City Council declare that the public interest and necessity demands the immediate
expenditureof public money for emergency repairs within the street rights-of-wayto safeguard
life, health, or property.
2. Approve the entering into a number of contracts, at the City Manager's discretion, for
emergency restoration within street rights-of-way.
