A RESOLUTION DISPENSING WITH BIDDING PROCEDURES DUE TO
EMERGENCY SEWER ABANDONMENT IN McCUTCHEON ROAD
BETWEEN MOUNTAIN RIDGE DRIVE AND STINE ROAD, NOT TO
EXCEED ONE HUNDRED TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ($110,000.00).
WHEREAS, on Wednesday, October 24,2007, Construction Division staff responded to
a call regarding discovery of several unknown sewer manholes on McCutcheon Road between
Mountain Ridge Drive and Stine Road; and
WHEREAS, it was determined that this was an old abandoned concrete sewer trunk line
that had been replaced in 1991 by the Stine Road - McCutcheon Road Interceptor Sewer; and
WHEREAS, upon further investigation and inspection with closed circuit television, it
was discovered that part of the sewer line had collapsed and other sections were decayed. This
empty abandoned sewer line runs under the number one westbound lane of McCutcheon Road
currently being constructed; and
WHEREAS, the Public Works Director declared this problem extremely serious and the
work to be performed was of urgent necessity for the preservation of life, health or property; and
WHEREAS, it was determined the best course of action for a repair required the
abandoned pipe be permanently stabilized by filling it with a cement-sand slurry in a safe and
timely manner; and
WHEREAS, to remedy this condition the Public Works Director authorized Teichert
Construction Company, on a time and materials not-to-exceed $105,830.00, to perform the
required work. The Public Works Director also authorized other expenses required for this
emergency, for a total not to exceed $110,000.00.
----------000----------
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
1. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference.
2. City Council hereby determines that based on the above recitals, the work
performed was of urgent necessity for the preservation of life, health or property,

3. The Finance Director is authorized to dispense with bidding in accordance with
Section 3.20.060 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code and enter into a contract with
