4. SUMMARY STAT~IIEI~T,AND RE(;JUIREIIF~ FOR COUNCIL ACTION'
On Friday, February 1, 2002, the operating ~ni~rn of the main outflow valve at Casad Dam was discovered to
be stalled, The main valve, which non'nally regulates flow from the dam according to system supply needs, is
inoperable. Maintenance of the valve, which requires prior installation of a bypass valve and piping, was
scheduled for lat~' this year. However, because ~ main valve is inoperable, installation of the bypass valve and
repair of the main valve is required immediately to avoid overflowing the dam during the remainder of the wet
season. The cost of instalrmg the bypass valve will be approximately $25,000. The recommended action before
the City Council is to authorize the contracting for materials, goods and equipment without requiring competitive
bids, in accordance with 2.76.600, Bremerton Municipal Code and 39.04.280, RCW.
That the City Council authorize the emergency purchase of the operating valve and associated equipment for
Cased Dam.
