A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
***********
TO EXEMPT THE POOL HEATER REPAIR PROJECT FROM COMPETITIVE BIDDING
REQUIREMENTS AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER
TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT FOR SUCH WORK IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED
$31,500
WHEREAS, the City of Dublin operates and maintains the Dublin Swim Center; and
WHEREAS, it was recently discovered that the pool heater is in need of major repairs
("the Pool Heater Repair Project") and that the lead time to obtain the necessary parts to
complete the repair is six to eight weeks; and
WHEREAS, the Dublin Swim Center is scheduled to open for operations during the first
week of February 2010, and it is necessary that a working pool heater be in place as soon as
possible to ensure that the water temperature is suitable for such activities; and
WHEREAS, the Pool Heater Repair Project is a public work subject to competitive bidding
under California Public Contract Code section 20162, and projects subject to competitive bidding
under the Public Contract Code are not subject to the City's Purchasing Ordinance (Chapter
2.36 of the Dublin Municipal Code); and
WHEREAS, City staff has informed the City Council that competitive bidding of the Pool
Heater Repair Project would delay the opening of the Dublin Swim Center until the middle of
May 2010, due to the time needed to prepare the specifications and bid package, the bidding
period, and the lead time for contractors to obtain the necessary parts; and
WHEREAS, the City Council hereby finds that competitive bidding of the Pool Heater
Repair Project would result in the public losing access to an important public facility and
incurring additional expense, including, but not limited to, additional expense due to delay and
the loss of revenue to the City as a result of the facility not being operational, and therefore
competitive bidding of such work will not produce an advantage for the public; and
WHEREAS, therefore the City has the authority to award a contract for the Pool Heater
Repair Project, without competitive bidding, under the established common-law doctrine
articulated in the case of Graydon v. Pasadena Redevelopment Agency (1980) 104 Cal.App. 3d
631.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Dublin does RESOLVE to waive the
competitive bidding requirements for the Pool Heater Repair Project and authorize the City
Manager to enter into an agreement for such work in an amount not to exceed $31,500.
