4. SUMMARY STATEMENT AND REOUIREMENT FOR COUNCIL ACTION:
Approximately 2,300 feet of the Naval Avenue Sewer Force Main is experiencing repeated and continual spot-
failures of unknown cause. The number and increasing frequency of spot-failures is indicative of a degenerating
pipe condition that could result in a total pipe failure affecting public health and safety. Immediate action is
necessary to cause the permanent repair or replacement of the force main. RCW 39.04.280(1)(c) specifically
authorizes a municipality to waive competitive bidding requirements for purchases in the event of an emergency,
and BMC 2.76.600(a)(3) provides the City is not required to seek competitive bids when the City contracts for
materials, goods and equipment in order to effectively respond to emergencies affecting public health and safety.
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No.~l~declaring an emergency condition exists and
authorizing the Mayor to cause the repair or replacement of the Naval Avenue Sewer Force Main per RCW
39.04.2800)(c) and BMC 2.76.600(a)(3).
5. RECOMMENDATION:
1.) The City Council approve Resolution No~?~'declaring an emergency condition exists and
authorizing the Mayor to cause the repair or replacement of the Naval Avenue Sewer Force Main.
