AGENDA TITLE: Receive Report on Resolution of Public Works Emergency Requiring the
Immediate Repair of Blakely Pool Circulation System
MEETING DATE: May 15, 2013
PREPARED BY: Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive report on resolution of the Public Works Emergency
requiring the immediate repair of the Blakely Pool circulation
system.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On April 3, 2013, the City Council made a finding that a public works
emergency existed at the south pool at the Blakely Park pool
complex, due to a massive leak (8,000 gallons per day) suspected
in the circulation system. The council authorized the City Manager to execute a contract with Paragon
Pools in an amount not to exceed $20,000 and begin repair work as soon as possible. On May 1, 2013,
the City Council declared the emergency continues to exist, as repairs had not been completed.
Three leaks below -ground leaks were detected, including one that had created a significant void beneath
the concrete pool deck. In addition, one of the circulation pipes had collapsed. A large portion of the
circulation system is being replaced because of this damage. Additional information will be presented to
the Council at the meeting.
Staff will provide the City Council a report on work performed to date. If the repair is not completed, the
City Council will be asked to again declare the Public Works Emergency exists (Public Contract Code
sections 20168 and 22050). A four-fifths vote will be required to permit the immediate expenditure of
public money to safeguard life, health or property, and that the emergency will not permit a delay caused
by bidding.
FISCAL IMPACT: Will be reported to City Council at the meeting.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Will be reported to City Council at the meeting.

AGENDA TITLE: Receive Report on Resolution of Public Works Emergency Requiring the
Immediate Repair of Blakely Pool Circulation System
MEETING DATE: May 15. 2013
PREPARED BY: Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Declare a Public Works Emergency continues to exist that requires
the immediate repair of the Blakely Pool circulation system.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On April 3, 2013, the City Council made a finding that a public works
emergency existed at the south pool at the Blakely Park pool
complex, due to a massive leak (8,000 gallons per day) suspected
in the circulation system. The council authorized the City Manager to execute a contract with Paragon
Pools in an amount not to exceed $20,000 and begin repair work as soon as possible. The work was not
completed as of May 1, 2013, and the City Council declared the Public Works Emergency continues to
exist.
Paragon Pools has replaced most of the south pool's water circulation system, and began back -filling
trenches after its work received approval today from the San Joaquin County Environmental Health
Department. Paragon will reconnect the heater plumbing this week and replace the concrete decking
next week, in time for the beginning of the swimming season at Blakely Park. No additional spending
authority under the initial emergency finding (up to $20,000) is needed at this time.
As the City Council was informed on April 3 and again on May 1, Public Contract Code sections 20168
and 22050 require the City Council to redeclare the public works emergency exists if the repairs have not
been completed by the next meeting. As the public works emergency still exists, the City Council again
needs to find, by a four-fifths vote, that immediate expenditure of public money to safeguard life, health or
property is needed, and that the emergency will not permit a delay caused by bidding.
The City Council will receive an additional update on June 5.
FISCAL IMPACT: Less than $20,000.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services operating budget.
