A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD
FINDING THAT THERE IS A NEED TO CONTINUE THE EMERGENCY
ACTION BY WAY OF A FOUR-FIFTHS VOTE OF ITS MEMBERS,
PURSUANT TO THE PUBLIC CONTRACT CODE SECTION 22050(c)(1)
WITH RESPECT TO THE EMERGENCY REPAIRS AT WELL NO. 19
WHEREAS, In December 2021, the well equipment was taken off-line to mitigate
water quality issues. An initial investigation and report were provided to begin
emergency work on the Well totaling to $76,849 in emergency repairs; and
WHEREAS, additional emergency work that is needed includes backfilling the
well with 850 feet of approved gravel, brushing the casing with Sterilene to remove the
bio-fouling, patching the seven (7) holes in the well casing, changing the pump from oil
to water lubrication for water quality, and disinfecting the well to complete the
rehabilitation. Staff also recommends to perform optional zone sampling to provide a
profile of the water quality to determine where the manganese issue is to isolate that
zone and improve water quality since the well is already off-line; and
WHEREAS, based on the recommendation from the Acting City Engineer on
the immediate repairs needed, the City Manager approved the emergency actions
waiving the informal competitive bidding requirements; and
WHEREAS, California Public Contract Code Section 22050 provides that in the
case of an emergency, a city, pursuant to a 4/5s vote of its governing body, may repair
or replace a public facility, take any directly related and immediate action required by
that emergency, and procure the necessary equipment, services and supplies for those
purposes, without giving notice for bids to let contracts provided the public agency is
able to make a finding, based on substantial evidence, 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; and
WHEREAS, California Public Contract Code Section 22050 provides that in the
case of an emergency, a city, pursuant to a 4/5s vote of its governing body, a public
agency may delegate to the City Manager the authority to order any action pursuant to
California Public Contract Code Section 22050(a)(1) to address the emergency; and
WHEREAS, on April 5, 2022, the City Council found that there is substantial
evidence in the record demonstrating that emergency action is needed to place Well
No. 19 back into production. Examples of the emergency work needed
includes backfilling the well with 850 feet of approved gravel, brushing the casing with
Sterilene to remove the bio-fouling, patching the seven (7) holes in the well casing,
changing the pump from oil to water lubrication for water quality, and disinfecting the
• well to complete the rehabilitation. Staff also recommends to perform optional zone
sampling to provide a profile of the water quality to determine where the manganese
1
issue is to isolate that zone and improve water quality since the well is already off-line.
The needed work created an emergency requiring immediate action to procure the
necessary equipment, services, and supplies for those purposes, without giving notice
for bids to let contracts; and
WHEREAS, the City Council delegated the authority to the City Manager or his
or her designee upon recommendation from the Director of Public Works and/or City
Engineer the authority to order any action pursuant to the California Public Contract
Code Section 22050 (a)(1) including the waiving of formal or informal competitive
bidding requirements to perform the needed work in order to place Well No. 19 back
into production.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD DOES
HEREBY FIND, PROCLAIM, ORDER AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the City Council has reviewed the emergency action and finds
that by way of a four-fifths vote of its members, finds that there is a need to continue the
action pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22050(c)(2).
Section 2. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
Section 3. The City Clerk shall certify as to the adoption of this City Council
Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 19th day of April, 2022.
