MEMORANDUM FOR: THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
VIA: Roger J. Dolan, General Manager -Chief Engineer
SUBJECT: OUTFALL EMERGENCY
ISSUE: Due to a garbage fill settlement and consequent upheaval and
Teral movement of the right of way containing the District's
outfall pipe line, there is eminent danger of conduit failure.
BACKGROUND: The exact history, extent, and possible effect of this
fill subsidence is being determined, but we know that our 72" R.C.P.
is out of horizontal alignment by over 15 feet and is off grade by
over 6 feet (above installed elevation) at one point, and that a three
dimensional movement is involved. As of the writing of this memo,
the outfall was still functioning without noticeable leakage, but its
structural integrity over a 2400 foot length is gone. We have advised
the RWQCB of the situation and have tentative approval of emergency
action.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a Resolution declaring that an emergency exists
relative to the outfall, and authorizing staff to take necessary
protective actions including the expenditure of up to $10,000 for
grading, engineering, and consultation without formal bids.
Respectfully submitted,
Loeom��

MEMORANDUM FOR: THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
VIA: Roger J. Dolan, General Manager -Chief Engineer
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE THE REJECTION OF ALL BIDS ON SPECIFICATION D
OF THE OCTOBER 3, 1978 VEHICLE PURCHASE AND TO SOLICIT
NEW BIDS
ISSUE: Parker -Robb asked to have their original low bid for this unit
($11,237.87) withdrawn because of their failure to include the freight
costs from Pontiac, Michigan.
BACKGROUND: Parker -Robb submitted a revised bid including freight
which totaled $11,875.81. At the board meeting of October 5, 1978,
this item was put over until further information on the reason for
the error was developed. Mr. Hedgecock and myself met with Mr. Harmon
of Parker -Robb and reviewed their bidding procedure and his work sheets
found his oversight of the freight costs to be a real error.
Under the circumstances, I do not want to accept their revised
bid which is still the lowest nor do I wish to purchase from the second
bidder at a higher cost. I prefer to readvertise and solicit new bids
for this vehicle.
RECOMMENDATION: Reject all bids on Specification D of the October 3,
1978 vehicle purchase and solicit new bids.
