WHEREAS, the Garner Well C was constructed in 1986 by the City of Riverside Public Utilities Department (RPU) and supplies about four million gallons of water per day to the City; and WHEREAS, in 2021 it was discovered that dropping water levels in the area had begun to cause problems with the pumping equipment. To mitigate the issue, RPU initially reduced the pumping output of Garner Well C; and WHEREAS, in May 2022, RPU field staff discovered that water levels had dropped to the point that the pump was pulling in air and debris. The well was shut down to avoid additional equipment damage; and WHEREAS, with the summer months quickly approaching and the fact that the well supplies 4 million gallons of water per day to the citizens of the City, it became urgent for the well to be repaired so it could be placed back online ensuring that the City could meet summer demand levels; and WHEREAS, upon inspection of the pump assembly, Tri-County Pump Company provided an inspection report that indicated that the bowl assembly and column pipe needed to be replaced so that the pump could be set lower. Tri-County Pump Company provided an estimate to repair in the amount of $88,282.84; and WHEREAS, to ensure the City could continue to meet summer water demands, RPU’s General Manager gave the authorization to repair the well in accordance with Purchasing Resolution No. 23256, Section 301(c) and (d), for the emergency repair work of the Garner Well C, and in compliance with Section 1109 of the City Charter; and WHEREAS, due to the emergency nature of this project, based upon the facts set forth above, the Purchasing Services Manager approved an expenditure to Tri-County Pump Company for the emergency repair work of the Garner Well C in the amount of $88,282.84, in accordance with City Charter section 1109 and Purchasing Resolution No. 22576, Sections 300-302; and WHEREAS, City Charter section 1109 provides that expenditures for such emergency repairs may be approved without advertising for bids if such work, supplies or materials shall be deemed by the City Council to be of urgent necessity for the preservation of life, health or property, and shall be authorized by resolution passed by at least five affirmative votes of the City Council and containing a declaration of the facts constituting such urgency.
