WHEREAS, Well No. 19 produces water at 2,054 acre feet per year; and
WHEREAS, Well No. 19 water production is almost half of the City's entire water
system; and
WHEREAS, staff has observed that Well No. 19 started producing an

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 the production and presence of an
overwhelming amount of sand and silt during normal pumping and subsequent videos of
Wells No. 19 and the existence of holes in the well casing has 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
I
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 competitive bidding
requirements to engage a consultant to assess and expose Well No. 19 deficiencies as
evidenced by the significant presence of sand and silt as well as holes to the well
casing, and
WHEREAS, the City Council authorized the City Manager to begin emergency
rehabilitation work which includes backfifling the well, brushing of the casing with
Sterilene to remove bio-fouling, patching the seven (7) holes in the well casing,
changing the pump from oil to water lubrication, and disinfecting the well and approves
the additional optional work on the zone sampling while the well is offline; and
WHEREAS, the approved emergency work at Well No. 19 has not yet been
completed, thus requiring continuation of the emergency work.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD DOES
HEREBY FIND, PROCLAIM, ORDER AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
