A RESOLUTION DECLARING AN EMERGENCY, AND WAIVING COMPETITIVE BIDDING
REQUIREMENTS DUE TO A BREAK IN THE WASHINGTON TRUCKING WATER MAIN
WHEREAS, a break in the City of Arlington's water main near the Washington Trucking
facility resulted in a water main "dead end" eliminating the redundancy needed for fire
protection service to the Washington Trucking facility; and
WHEREAS, the water main leak has occurred in an asbestos concrete pipe that is in
extremely poor condition and not suitable for repair; and
WHEREAS, the City's investigation has concluded that a new water main extension will
eliminate the "dead end" and restore redundant fire service protection to the area near the
Washington Trucking facility; and
WHEREAS, we are in a time of material shortages due supply chain issues caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic; and
WHEREAS, Ferguson Waterworks has the necessary water main materials in stock for
the City to facilitate the necessary repairs;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Arlington Washington does hereby
resolve as follows:
1. The City Council finds an emergency exists with a break in the City's water main
impacting fire service protection to a City business, which presents a real and
immediate threat to the proper performance of essential functions if immediate
action is not taken, and therefore competitive bidding requirements for the work
necessary as a result of the emergency are hereby waived.
2. The City Council authorizes the purchase of necessary materials in the amount of
$106,518.24 from Ferguson Waterworks to repair the City water main near the
Washington Trucking facility at 6615— 172"d St.
Approved by the City Council of the City of Arlington this 15th day of November, 2021.
