on 1st Street from Chester Avenue to N Street had deteriorated to a point that

near future without emergency action to remedy this condition; and
WHEREAS, the Public Works Director was informed that the repairs could not be
made by City staff alone; and

Director declared these conditions to be an emergency requiring work, supplies,
equipment and materials urgently necessary for the preservation of life, health and
property; and
WHEREAS, Griffith Company was authorized by the Public Works Director to
replace approximately 1,400 feet of 36 -inch sewer line on a time - and - materials basis
since it had the necessary material, equipment and expertise to timely repair the sewer
line in order to get the sewer line back in operation as soon as possible; and
WHEREAS, to remedy this emergency, the Public Works Director authorized Rain
for Rent to set up a by -pass for the sewer line to allow for the replacement of the
deteriorated sewer line.
