significant leaks; and

the problems related to this leaking water line; and

WHEREAS, Public Contract Code Section 20201 generally requires that the District engage in
competitive bidding on any expenditure in excess of$10,000; and
WHEREAS, it has been determined by District staff that it is not possible to engage in competitive
bidding for the work that needs to be done without serious delays which would place the District
at considerable risk; and
WHEREAS, Public Contract Code Section 20205.1 provides that in the case of great emergency,
by consent of at least 415 of its members, the Board may do or cause to be done without notice
all repair or replacement work necessary to meet the emergency; and
WHEREAS, the District's need to have the water line on Swiss Lane repaired immediately has
created a great emergency which, pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 20205.1, is
justification for the District to dispense with the competitive bidding procedures for replacement
of the Swiss Lane water line.
