Agenda Item: Emergency appropriation to repair lagoon boardwalk
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
The Lagoon boardwalk was damaged in a vehicle accident on July 1, 2011. The accident completely
removed one walking section of the boardwalk and has created a safety hazard to the public. $8,000 is
needed to do an emergency repair of the boardwalk. The City is seeking reimbursement for this repair from
the person responsible for the accident. Harmon Construction has submitted an estimate of $8,000 to
complete this work. The Seward City Code authorizes an exemption from competitive procurement in
cases where an emergency does not provide sufficient time to obtain competitive bids. Given the potential
for personal injury to pedestrians, this repair is deemed to constitute an emergency.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST:
Where applicable this resolution is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter, Comprehensive Plans,
Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures.
FISCAL NOTE:
Funding for this repair will come from the General Fund's undesignated reserves.
