Director of Public Works requests the following regarding the Hall of Justice Booster Replacement Project, PW 07-30:

1. Find that the unexpected failure of a water system booster pump at the Hall of Justice constitutes an emergency as defined by Section 1102 of the Public Contract Code due to the following facts:
1. There are only two booster pumps for the facility, and it is suspected that the remaining pump could also fail at any time, including during the time required to solicit competitive bids to replace the pump assembly;
2. If the remaining pump fails before the first pump has been replaced, the County Jail portion of the Hall of Justice would no longer be habitable for the inmates;
3. There is currently no alternate location to house the inmates in the event the County Jail portion of the Hall of Justice suddenly becomes uninhabitable and remains so during repair;and
4. The circumstances in (a), (b) and (c) create a need for immediate action to replace the entire pump assembly to prevent impairment of the health and safety of the inmates housed in the County Jail portion of the Hall of Justice and impairment of the essential public service of providing secure detention of inmates.
2. Find, based upon the circumstances set forth in 1(a) through (d) and pursuant to Public Contract Code Sections 20134(a) and 22050(a)(2), that the foregoing emergency will not permit the delay that would result from adopting plans, specifications, strain sheets or working details or giving notice for competitive bids to replace the pump assembly.
3. Award the contract for the “Hall of Justice Booster Replacement Project,” PW 07-30, to Bell Products of Napa, California, as an emergency time and materials contract subject to Public Contract Code sections 20134(a) and 22050(a), to replace the pump assembly for an amount not to exceed $40,000, and authorize the Chair to sign the construction contract on behalf of the County. (4/5 vote required)
