SECTION 2. That the Mayor is authorized to enter into an emergency contract with Romanoff for emergency drive repair at the Reynolds Area Pumping Station, upon terms and conditions approved by the Director of Public Utilities and the Director of Law.
SECTION 3. That this Council finds and determines that it is in the best interest of the City that the competitive provisions of TMC Chapter 187 are waived for the reason that Romanoff Electric Company LLC was immediately ready to proceed with emergency services to install replacement drives for Pumps 1 and 3 at the Reynolds Area Pumping Station.
SECTION 4. That the Finance Director is authorized to issue their warrant or warrants against the account code identified in Section 1 in an amount not to exceed $400,000 in payment of the obligations authorized above upon presentation of the proper voucher or vouchers.
SECTION 5. That the disappropriation of any remaining budget to fund balance at project closeout is authorized.
SECTION 6. That this Ordinance is declared to be an emergency measure and shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage. The reason for the emergency lies in the fact that this Ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and property, and for the further reason that this Ordinance must be immediately effective in order to pay Romanoff for emergency repair of pump drives at the Reynolds Area Pumping Station.
