RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
RATIFYING THE DECLARATION OF EMERGENCY WORK TO REPAIR
PORTIONS OF A DETERIORATED SEWER MAIN AND LATERAL
IN RESPONSE TO A WASTEWATER DISCHARGE, AND RATIFYING
THE WAIVING OF COMPETITIVE BIDDING PROCEDURES UNDER
EMERGENCY CONDITIONS, CONSISTENT WITH THE PROVISIONS

MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 2.62 "ALTERNATIVE BID PROCEDURES

WHEREAS, recently there were two incidents of sewer main blockages in close
proximity to each other on Euclid Avenue; and
WHEREAS, National City Public Works wastewater crews were unable to break
the stoppages due to the unusual configuration of the lateral and a joint separation between
pipe segments caused by root intrusion, but were able to provide a temporary bypass to allow
the residents to use water; and
WHEREAS, on February 26, 2018, Public Works wastewater crews performed a
video survey of the sewer main line, which runs under the alley located to the south of East 14'h
Street and east of Euclid Avenue, that identified significant cracks originating from a cavity
within the main line where it connects to the sewer lateral; and
WHEREAS, in order to remove the blockage and prevent further wastewater
discharges, approximately 30 feet of failed sewer main and the entire lower sewer lateral
needed to be replaced immediately; and
WHEREAS, because the main is located at a depth of approximately 15 feet and
City wastewater crews could not complete the required repairs, several qualified contractors
were contacted to determine availability, but only one qualified contractor, Basile Construction,
Inc., was readily available to perform the work; and
WHEREAS, due to the emergency and in order to protect, preserve, and keep
the public health and welfare, the City Manager executed an Agreement on February 28, 2018
between Basile Construction, Inc., for the immediate replacement of approximately 30 feet of
failed sewer main and the entire lower sewer lateral, which was completed on March 2, 20'9;
and
WHEREAS, upon execution of the Agreement, the City Engineer authorized
Basile Construction, Inc., to start work on a time and materials basis, however, the final costs
are expected to be approximately $25,000.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
National City hereby ratifies the declaration of emergency work to repair a deteriorated sewer
main and lateral in response to wastewater discharge on Euclid Avenue.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council finds, based on substantial
evidence set forth in this Resolution and in the supporting staff report and Agreement with Basile
Construction, that the emergency would not permit a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation
for bids, and that the action was necessary to respond to the emergency.
