3935 Emergency Signal Cabinet RepairRESOLUTION NO. 3935 A RESOLUTION DECLARING THE EXISTENCE OF AN EMERGENCY AND WAIVING AND DISPENSING WITH THE STATUTORY COMPETITIVE BIDDING REQUIREMENTS Recitals 1.The City of Moses Lake is a code city operating under the authority of Chapter 35A RCW. 2.The City, under Title 35A.11 RCW and RCW 35A.13.230, has “… any authority ever given to any class of municipality or to all municipalities of this state…” 3.The City has the authority to commence a public work without complying with the statutory bid requirements in an emergency situation under the authority given by RCW 35.22.620(6), RCW 39.04.280, and other Washington law. 4.On Saturday, April 1, 2023, an automobile accident occurred south of the intersection of N. Stratford and W. Valley Roads. As part of the accident, a vehicle exited the roadway, colliding with and destroying two traffic control boxes. 5.City staff placed temporary stop signs at the intersection. Given the high traffic usage of the intersection, this action is considered a temporary, remedial measure. 6.Emergency repairs are required to return this high traffic intersection to proper functional control. 7.The sudden failure of the traffic control equipment at this intersection was an unforeseen circumstance beyond the control of the City and created an emergency condition for the citizens of the City. The failure of said traffic control presents a real, immediate threat to the health, safety, and welfare of the City of Moses Lake, including material loss and damage to property or bodily injury or harm. 8.Therefore, an emergency exists due to the failure of said traffic control equipment, and complying with statutory bid requirements would unnecessarily delay the completion of delivery and installation of replacement traffic control equipment, and any increased costs associated with waiving the competitive bidding process will be outweighed by the costs associated with the traffic control equipment being out of service for an extended period. 9.There are sufficient unexpended monies available for repairs in the appropriate street account to complete the repairs. Resolved 1.An emergency exists due to the recent failure of traffic control equipment, and it is imperative to install replacement equipment as quickly as possible to preserve and protect the public’s health, safety, and welfare, and to prevent property damage and bodily injury. 2.Because an emergency exists, under the laws of the state of Washington, the statutory bid requirements are dispensed with and waived for the repairs to traffic control equipment at the intersection of N. Stratford and W. Valley Roads. 3.This emergency condition was caused by an automobile accident in the area on April 1, 2023. Information has been delivered to Northeast Electric, LLC, the company which installed the previous traffic control equipment; the company is capable, qualified, and available to perform this public work. Any and all actions taken by the City Manager prior to April 11, 2023 in connection with this emergency and the traffic control equipment repair work, including the selection of any Contractors and the execution of any contracts and other necessary documents, are hereby approved, confirmed, and ratified.
