RECOMMENDATIONS
Review and reconfirm by four/fifths (4/5)vote,the City Council's previous action taken on
February 21,2012,authorizing staff to continue with the actions taken to perform emergency
repairs to the Abalone Cove Sewer Pump Station located within the Abalone Cove Shoreline
Park.
BACKGROUND
On February 21,2012,the City Council found that an emergency exists,which will not
permit a delay arising from a competitive solicitation for bids to enter into a contract with a
contractor,to perform emergency sewer pump and electrical control panel repairs which are
needed to repair the failing sewer pump station at Abalone Cove's Shoreline Park.
Accordingly,the City Council approved a contract with Multi W Systems,Inc.to re-establish
a safe and operational sewer pump station.
DISCUSSION
Approval of the emergency for this work required a four-fifths (4/5)vote of the City Council
under Public Contract Code Section 22050(a)(1).In addition,Public Contract Code Section
22050(c)(1)requires that when a governing body takes action under Section 22050(a)(1),it
must review this action and reaffirm it by a four-fifths (4/5)vote at each subsequent regularly
scheduled meeting until the work is completed and accepted.
At this time the pump station has been retrofitted with the new control panel which controls
one of the new three phase pumps which is operational.A single phase backup pump has
been temporarily configured to assist in the pumping operation if needed and is operational.

The second three phase pump was damaged during shipment and has been returned to the
vendor.A new pump has been ordered,is being assembled and is expected to arrive early
in May.Once the pump is received,the installation,tuning and testing of the new pumps
should be completed quickly.Accordingly,because the work has not been entirely
completed,staff has placed this item on tonight's agenda.This item will be placed on each
subsequent agenda until all the work is completed and the City Council accepts the project
as complete.Staff anticipates bringing the Notice of Completion for this project to the City
Council at a meeting in May.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council review and reconfirm by fourlfifths (4/5)vote,their
previous action taken on February 21,2012,authorizing staff to continue with the actions
taken to p~rform emergency repairs to the Abalone Cove Sewer Pump Station located within
the Abalone Cove Shoreline Park.
