COMPETITIVE BIDDING FOR AND AUTHORIZING THE ACTING DIRECTOR OF

AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $150,000.
WHEREAS, several of the City's storm water pump stations were constructed in

mechanisms; and

functioning, there are six individual pumps in immediate need of maintenance and repair; and
WHEREAS, Pump Repair Service Company is familiar with the City's older
pumps and has the unique expertise and proven ability to repair the pumps in question; and
WHEREAS, section 2.55.070D of the San Rafael Municipal Code allows for the
waiver of competitive bidding in circumstances such as these; and
WHEREAS, there are sufficient funds in the City's Storm Water Fund (#205) to
accommodate this proposed expenditure.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
San Rafael hereby waives competitive bidding for, and authorizes the Acting Director of Public
Works to enter into a maintenance contract with Pump Repair Service Company in a form to be
approved by the City Attorney.
