Resolution No. 20021318
WHEREAS, pursuant to Sections 20134 and 22050 of the Public Contract Code,
the normal procedures for bidding do not apply, and repairs can begin
immediately when the appropriate findings of an emergency are made by the
Board, and
WHEREAS, it is recommended that the Board make such findings; direct the
Director of General Services to proceed with the project and enter into any
necessary contracts; and declare that, as an emergency, the project is not
subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public
Resources Code Section 29080 and following); and
WHEREAS, it is further recommended that the Board find, based upon
substantial evidence before it, as set forth in the minutes of this meeting, that:
(1) this emergency will not permit a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation
for bids; and (2) this action is necessary to respond to the emergency.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that:
(1) Pursuant to Public Contract Code Sections 20134 and 22050, FIND that
an emergency exists, that the emergency will not permit a delay resulting
from a competitive solicitation for bids, and that the action described in this
Resolution is necessary to respond to the emergency;
(2) DELEGATE to the General Services Director the authority to proceed in
the most expeditious manner with the evaluation, assessment, and
implementation of fire damage repair and restoration;
(3) FURTHER DELEGATE to the County Administrator and Director of Human

expeditious manner with the evaluation and assessment of security needs
and the implementation of necessary security measures;
(4) AUTHORIZE the Risk Manager, General Services Director, County
Administrator, and County Auditor-Controller to disburse funds as required
to implement fire damage repair and restoration and to evaluate, assess,
and implement security measures;
(5) DIRECT the General Services Director to make reports to the Board, as
required by Public Contract Code Section 22050, stating the reasons
justifying why the emergency will not permit a delay resulting from
competitive solicitation for bids and why the action is necessary to respond
to the emergency, in order to enable the Board to review the emergency
action and to determine that there is a need to continue the action; and
Resolution No. 2002/31€3
