Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: Per the requirements of City Code Chapter 3.60.070, staff is providing information to the City Council about an emergency contract issued by the Department of Utilities (DOU) to Express Sewer and Drain, Inc. under City Manager authority. Competitive bidding was suspended, and an emergency contract in the amount of $35,000 was issued on February 26, 2019, to repair a failed wastewater pipe and a significant void below an unreinforced brick garage at 1903 5th Avenue.
Policy Considerations: This action is consistent with Sacramento City Code Chapter 3.60.070, and the City Auditor's recommendation (contained in the internal audit report on the bidding and contract process examination of the Department of General Services dated April 25, 2006) to notify City Council of any emergency contracts.
Economic Impacts: None
Environmental Considerations: This project is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines governing existing facilities, in that it meets the definition of restoration or rehabilitation of deteriorated or damaged structures, facilities, or mechanical equipment to meet current standards of public health and safety.
Sustainability: The proposed project is consistent with the 2035 General Plan as it improves infrastructure reliability, which will safeguard health and private property by reducing the potential for wastewater overflows.
Commission/Committee Action: Not applicable.
