BEACH, CALIFORNIA, DECLARING THE REPAIR OF THE WILDERNESS PARK LOWER POND AS "REPAIR" AND EXEMPTING IT FROM BIDDING REQUIREMENTS PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 19 AND 19.1(a) OF THE
CITY CHARTER OF REDONDO BEACH
WHEREAS, Section 19 of the City Charter of Redondo Beach ("Charter") mandates every contract for public works projects, including construction and improvements of public entities such as buildings, streets, utilities, and parks, that exceeds an expenditure of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) be awarded either to: (1) the lowest responsible bidder, with notice published in the official newspaper at least ten (10) days prior to bid opening; or (2) the best value design-build entity or best value design-build-operate entity following a proposal request; and
WHEREAS, Section 19.1(a) of the Charter provides an exception, allowing the City Council to forgo the bidding process for projects designated as "maintenance" or "repair," as determined by the City Council through ordinance or resolution; and WHEREAS, occasionally, parks' natural features, such as ponds, streams, and water circulation systems, require significant repairs due to aging or failure; and WHEREAS, the City of Redondo Beach (“City”) Wilderness Park Lower Pond, a popular attraction at Wilderness Park, was designed to replicate a natural pond and wetlands area with a stream, a pond with plants, and vernal "bog" areas; and WHEREAS, the pond has fallen into disrepair and is no longer functional, necessitating repairs to the pond liner, stream liner, water circulation and filtering system, and related infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, following approval of this resolution, the Public Works Department will obtain proposals for the repair of the pond liner, stream liner, water circulation and filtering systems, as well as other repairs to return the pond to its original design as a functional conservation pond; and
WHEREAS, the City recognizes the repair of this pond located in the northwest corner of Hopkins Wilderness Park at 1102 Camino Real, Redondo Beach, CA 90277, as an essential "repair" to restore its functionality, ensuring it remains a key feature of the park.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDONDO BEACH, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Pursuant to Section 19.1(a) of the City Charter of Redondo Beach, the City Council formally designates the repair of the pond liner, stream liner, and related infrastructure for the Wilderness Park Lower Pond as a "repair" and hereby exempts this project from the bidding requirements, including the requirements for publication, receiving bids, and awarding the contract to the lowest responsible bidder or best value design-build entity as prescribed in Section 19 of the City Charter of Redondo Beach.
