A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL FINDING A
PUBLIC WORKS EMERGENCY EXISTS REQUIRING THE
IMMEDIATE REPAIR OF BLAKELY POOL CIRCULATION
SYSTEM, AND FURTHER AUTHORIZING CITY MANAGER
TO EXECUTE CONTRACT
-�- __-----__—------- -- ---
WHEREAS, staff recently noticed water leaking from the Enze Pool Complex's
south pool at Blakely Park. The leak apparently is within the below -ground plumbing
system beneath a concrete deck; and
WHEREAS, an estimated 8,000 gallons of water is leaking from the pool each
day due to an unknown cause, and water seen pooling at a nearby playground is
believed to be coming from the leak; and
WHEREAS, the Parks Division staff will begin excavating a portion of the pool
deck in an effort to locate the leak, and once that step is completed, Paragon Pools will
provide repairs to the plumbing system, subgrade, and pool deck in an amount not to
exceed $20,000; and
WHEREAS, because of the water loss and the risk that any subgrade failures
could be exacerbated by a delayed repair, staff requests that the City Council take
special steps to protect this public asset. The exact cost of the repair is unknown at this
time; and
WHEREAS, Public Contracts Code Section 20168 authorizes cities to dispense
with bidding requirements during council declared emergencies. The City Council must
make a finding by a 4/5ths vote that immediate expenditure of public money is required
to safeguard life, health, or property, and that emergency will not permit delay caused by
bidding; and
WHEREAS, the resolution must authorize the City Manager to take appropriate
action to resolve the emergency. Thereafter, the City Manager must report back to the
Council on the resolution of the emergency. If the action is not complete by the
Council's next meeting, the Council must re -declare the emergency at every subsequent
meeting until the emergency is resolved. (Public Contracts Code Section 22050); and
WHEREAS, accordingly, staff recommends that Council make the emergency
finding required by the Public Contracts Code and authorize the City Manager to
contract with Paragon Pools to repair the system at a price not to exceed $20,000.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
make the emergency finding required by the Public Contracts Code, that immediate
repairs are necessary to the Blakely Pool Circulation System to protect the pool and
deck from further damage; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council hereby authorizes the City
Manager to execute a contract with Paragon Pools to repair the system at a price not to
exceed $20,000.
