REPAIR WORK TO THE SPRING CREEK WATER TANK, AUTHORIZING

ATING FUNDS
WHEREAS, the Spring Creek Water Tank is a 500,000 gallon water tank that services the
domestic water supply and fire-fighting needs of the prison, ship yard, and marine industrial center;
and
WHEREAS, due to heavy snow loads and water saturation ofthe roof foam, the roofbeams
of the water tank have twisted and are on the verge of failing; and
WHEREAS, the City of Seward must immediately make the needed repairs to this tank in
order to avert the potential serious consequences of a tank failure, due to the fact that this area of
town has no backup water storage system in place; and

of a failure elevate this issue to that of an emergency, exempting the procurement of professional
services to repair the tank from further competitive procurement procedures per Seward City Code
Sections 6.10.120(a)(2) ("where an emergency makes the delay incident to competitive bidding
unreasonable") and SCC 6.10.120(a)(8) (where professional services, including engineering and
other specialized services, are exempt from competitive procurement); and
WHEREAS, the City will make all reasonable efforts to secure a fair price quotation for the
required services, basing its selection of a contractor on such factors as repair qualifications, cost
effectiveness, and immediate availability.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEWARD, ALASKA, that:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Seward hereby authorizes the city manager to
