WHEREAS:
1. During a winter storm event on about February 5, 2025, a portion of the hillside in the Western
Hills slid out, settling against the City water tank referred to as PZ1, or Pressure Zone 1; and
2. Concerned about possible damage to the City water tank, both from this slide and the possibility
of future slides, City Staff determined that emergency repairs were required; and
3. With damage caused to public property; and
4. Under Public Contract Code Section 22050(a)(1) in the case of an emergency, the City,
pursuant to a four -fifths vote of the City Council, may repair or replace a public facility and
procure the necessary equipment, services, and supplies for those purposes, without giving
notice for bids to let contracts; and
5. Under Public Contract Code Section 22050(a)(2) before the City Council takes such action, it
must make a finding, based on substantial evidence set forth in the minutes of its meeting, 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;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that:
Based on the foregoing recitals and information, the City Council finds that an emergency condition
exists that must be repaired to avoid public health hazards that could result, if the repair work was
put out for competitive bids in compliance with the procedures required by the Uniform Construction
Cost Accounting Act.
2. The City Council authorizes the procurement of construction services to repair the mudslide in the
Western Hills and damaged public without providing notice inviting bids.
3. The City Council authorizes the City Procurement Officer to contract with Diamond DConstruction to
repair the mudslide in the Western Hills in the amount of $30,042.
4. Awarding a contract to repair the water main and damaged public and private property is
categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act as
a Class 2 categorical exemption, because it involves the replacement or reconstruction of existing
utility systems and/or facilities involving negligible or no expansion of capacity. (14 CCR §15302.)
5. The emergency action taken by this resolution shall terminate upon the City Council's approval of a
certificate of completion for the mudslide and public property repair work.
