EXPLANATION:
On July 31, 2012, a 6-inch fire suppression line ruptured resulting in major flooding of the Nutrition Center and
adjacent area. On an emergency basis, a temporary above -ground fire suppression water line was designed,
installed, and completed on August 14th, 2012, allowing water restoration to the fire suppression line. The
temporary fire suppression line is regarded as a temporary solution until a permanent solution is completed. A
permanent solution now needs to be designed and installed to ensure adequate water service to the Morgan Tower
fire suppression line. The National City Fire Marshall is requesting the completion of the permanent fire
suppression line by September 30th, 2012.
If approved, the resolution would 1) ratify previous actions by staff to purchase contract services for the
installation of a temporary fire suppression line and 2) make a finding based on substantial evidence set forth in
the background report, that the emergency will not permit a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation for
bids, and that the action is necessary to respond to the emergency.
