RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
UKIAH DECLARING THAT REPAIR OF FLOOD DAMAGED
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AT THE LAKE MENDOCINO
HYDROELECTRIC PLANT CAN BE PERFORMED MORE
ECONOMICALLY BY OPEN MARKET PROCUREMENT AND
AUTHORIZING CITY MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE AND ENTER

WHEREAS,
1. The City issued a request for bids ("RFB") to repair electrical components of its Lake
Mendocino Hydroelectric Plant which were damaged in a recent flood of the powerhouse; and
2. The City complied with the Public Contracts Code requirements related to the bidding
of a public project; and
3. The City received only one bid in response to the RFB and it was 55% higher than the
engineer's estimate and took exception to the form of contract included in the Request for Bids;
and
4. Through the RFB process staff has identified potential contractors with whom it can
negotiate for this Work, as described in the RFB; and
5. Time is of the essence in getting these repairs completed, because moisture may
continue to cause damage to electrical components, until it is addressed; and
6. The City Council is advised that these repairs can be procured at a lower cost and on
better terms than those contained in the one bid submitted;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Ukiah hereby resolves as follows:
1. The City Council declares that the work described in the RFB can be more
economically procured through open market negotiations; and
2. The City Council hereby authorizes the City Manager to procure the work described
in the RFB through open market negotiations of a contract and to enter a contract on behalf of
the City to perform said work without further approval from the City Council, providing the
contract or contracts do not exceed $500,000.
