PURSUANT TO THE CITY CHARTER AND RATIFYING THE
CITY MANAGER'S DECISION TO APPROVE CONSTRUCTION
OF HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBILITY RAMPS ON MAIN STREET
FOR THE COST OF $62,145.52
• THE SEAL BEACH CITY COUNCIL DOES HEREBY FIND AND RESOLVE:
Section 1. In 2013, City staff discovered an unsafe condition on Main
Street in the form of an inadequate number to handicap accessible parking
spaces and ramps. Without an adequate'number of handicapped accessible
parking spaces and ramps, disabled persons could injure themselves trying to
access the public sidewalk or otherwise be forced to travel in the street in a
manner that would endanger not only themselves but also other persons and
vehicular traffic on Main Street. Based on the results of an inspection by the
City's Building Official, City staff determined that work was urgently needed.
Section 2. Based on these conditions, the City Manager determined
that there was an urgent necessity to take immediate action as quickly as
possible and authorized Flatiron Electrical Group, which was already under
contract with the City for another project on Main Street, to undertake the
necessary work to construct the necessary number of handicapped accessible
parking spaces and ramps at the cost of $62,145.52.
Section 3. Based upon the foregoing and upon the entirety. of the
record, including but not limited to the staff report and other evidence submitted
at the council meeting, the City Council hereby finds and declares that the need
to construct the necessary number of handicapped accessible parking spaces
and ramps on Main Street constituted an emergency pursuant to City Charter
Section 107(b) and a matter of urgent necessity as that term is used in City
Charter Section 1010.
•
Section 4. Based upon the foregoing, and in accordance with City
Charter Section 1010, the Council deems that the work, supplies, and materials
needed to construct the necessary number of handicapped accessible parking
spaces and ramps were of urgent necessity for the preservation of life, health, or
property and hereby ratifies the City Manager's to contract with Flatiron Electric
for construction of the necessary number of handicapped accessible parking
spaces and ramps without formally advertising for bids beyond the solicitation
described in Section 2.
