RE: Emergency Repair of Water Main on E Street
I hereby determine that there is an urgent necessity for the preservation of health and property to let a contract without bidding for the Emergency Repair of the water main at the intersection of 11" Street and E Street. The water main on E street has failed during street work in the intersection to add crosswalks. The water main was not part of the project but failed when disturbed by the nearby work. This section of water main is an older ductile iron pipe that is in poor condition and needs to be immediately replaced to restore the water system in the area. It must be addressed immediately before further damage or property damage occurs.
I hereby authorize said contract to be awarded in a timely manner pursuant to the authority of Merced Municipal Code Section 3.04.300.
