2003-158RESOLUTION NO. 2003R- 158
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM
DETERMINING THE URGENT NECESSITY FOR PERFORMING REPIPING
AT THE ARROWHEAD POND OF ANAHEIM AND AUTHORIZING THE
CITY MANAGER TO PROCEED WITHOUT ADVERTISING FOR BIDS
WHEREAS, Section 1211 of the Charter permits the City Council to find that public
works which are of urgent necessity for the preservation of life, health or property may be
performed without formally advertising for bids; and
WHEREAS, the condition of the chilled water piping at the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim
is in such poor and deteriorated condition that using the chilled water system may cause a major
rapture to the system which will result in heavy damage to the facility; and
WHEREAS, a mechanical engineering consultant engaged by the City has examined the
piping system and has determined that its immediate replacement before the upcoming hockey
season is required to prevent major damage to the Pond; and
WHEREAS, the time for performing such work has been compressed because of the
Stanley Cup Playoffs, which delayed the engineering assessment of the chilled water piping
system, and the beginning of the upcoming hockey season, for which ice must be made in
September, 2003; and
WHEREAS, the City has initiated legal action against the contractors responsible for
installing the piping which must now be replaced; and
WHEREAS, the time required to advertise for bids for the piping replacement would
consume much of the time available for effecting repairs to the system; and
WHEREAS, the engineering firm providing project management has identified seven
contractors with the expertise to replace the deteriorated piping system without damaging the
facility; and
WHEREAS, should the piping system fail as predicted, ice could not be maintained in the
Pond and damage to he walls and ceiling and carpets would result from the pressurized
water/glycol mixture in the system.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Anaheim,
two-thirds of the members concurring, as follows:
1. The replacement of the chilled water piping system in the Arrowhead Pond of
Anaheim is, for the reasons set forth in this Resolution and the accompanying staff report,
deemed to be of urgent necessity for the preservation of health and property.
2. Because of the urgent necessity for replacing the chilled water piping system,
contracts for the repair thereof may be let without advertising for bids.

water piping replacement project within thirty days of the commencement of construction.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION is approved and adopted by the City Council of the
