Staff has already met with several different qualified contractors on site to discuss options for repairs. The repair work will likely be done on a time and materials basis, with supplemental work done by City staff using City equipment to minimize costs. Costs are anticipated to be approximately $200,000, and will depend, in part, on soil conditions encountered (e.g. encountering significant rocks at the 4 to 5 foot depth needed for the pipe will increase trenching and backfill costs). DISCUSSION After the City Manager's proclamation of a local emergency on March 25th, the Municipal Code section 2.66.040.A.1 now requires that the City Council ratify such proclamation within seven (7) days. This Special Meeting has therefore been called to allow the City Council to adopt the attached resolution ratifying the declaration of a local emergency (see Attachment 2). As City staff has only been able to put in place a temporary above - ground hose to bridge the broken water main to restore at least some water service to the 160 homes, the need for a permanent repair of the water main remains critical for safe and reliable potable water and fire hydrant service. Therefore, because the danger to persons and property without a permanent water main remains significant and time - sensitive, City staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution.
