WHEREAS, Chapter 3.08 of the Orange Municipal Code permits the City Council, in
cases "where an essential governmental operation affecting the public health, safety or general
welfare could be greatly hampered or disrupted by following the standard purchasing procedures
for contracting for public projects", to comply with the provisions of Public Contract Code
Section 22050 and repair or replace a public facility, take any directly related and immediate
action required by the emergency, and procure the necessary equipment, services, and supplies
for those purposes, without giving notice for bids to let contracts; and
WHEREAS, by the adoption of Resolution No. 9425 on March 13,2001 and on the basis
that: (I) Water Wells 23 and 24 had developed operational problems and had been taken out of
service, (2) the award of a contract for the rehabilitation of those water wells would not permit a
delay resulting from a competitive solicitation for bids, and (3) rehabilitation of those water wells
was necessary to respond to the emergency, this City Council waived the competitive bidding
procedure in accordance with Section 22050 of the Public Contract Code and awarded a contract
to General Pump Company for the irnmediate rehabilitation of those wells so that they can be
returned to service; and
WHEREAS, this City Council has received and reviewed the report of the Director of
Public Works in the form presented at this meeting and finds that the rehabilitation of the water
wells has been completed and, therefore, the emergency action may now be terminated.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby resolved by the City Council of the City of Orange

hereby deemed to be terminated.
