A RESOLUTION MAKING FINDINGS OF FACT, AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY,
IN CONNECTION WITH REPAIRS TO CITY OF LA PORTE WATER WELL NO. l, IN
FAIRMONT PARK SUBDIVISION.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA PORTE:
Section' l. The City Council of the City of La Porte finds there
is an emergency, and an urgent public necessity, for repairs to the
City of La Porte Waterwell No.1, in Fairmont Park Subdivision, for
the reason that the production of such well has dropped from 1,500
gallons per minute to 200 gallons per minutes, with considerable sand
production, and severe vibration to the pump and related facilities,
which is causing damage to the well and to the pump equipment. The
City Council further finds that due to the urgent public necessity
that such water well be repaired and placed back in service at the
earliest possible date, that there is not sufficient time to advertise
for formal bids: that the number of contractors qualified to perform
repairs to this water well is limited, and that direct contact can
be made with such qualified bidders, to receive quotations: and that
the public interest requires that formal bid procedures be waived,
to place City of La Porte Water Well No. 1 back in service at the
earliest possible date.
Section 2. Accordingly, the City Council of the City of La
Porte declares an emergency i waives formal bid procedures, directs
that emergency bid quotations be taken, and appropriates a sum not
to exceed $ 3:5,000.00, upon authorization of the City Manager, from
the Water Contingency Fund, to the Water Fund, to be expended for
emergency repairs to City of La Porte Water Well No. 1 in Fairmont
Park Subdivision.
