SUMMARY EXPLANATION: Staff respectfully requests City Council approval of the attached: 1) resolution
declaring an emergency condition allowing for waiving of the formal bid process; and 2) appropriation
ordinance to repair the Fruitvale Canal through Chesterley Park located at 40 Avenue and River. Road.
The current project at Chesterley Park consists of constructing the final elements of the park including two
soccer fields, additional parking, pathways, and landscaping. This project is consistent with and implements
the adopted parks comprehensive plan. The Fruitvale Canal was converted from an open ditch to an arched
pipe in the early 1980's. Design analysis on the pipe was done to assure the pipe would withstand
development loading over the pipe. •
During the recent construction of the new soccer fields, it has been discovered that the leakage of the pipe is
to an extent that halts further construction of the soccer project identified above. Staff determined that the
pipe be immediately replaced with a watertight system, estimated not to exceed $200,000, with the current
contractor through a change order. These resources are from the Irrigation Capital Fund and require
Council ratification of management's emergency actions and approval of the attached appropriation
ordinance.
Timeliness is critical. Immediately upon Fruitvale Canal season closure, the construction of the replacement
pipe needs to begin. This will ensure that the irrigation system in 2002 will begin on time and city irrigation
delivery obligations be met. The pipe will be replaced across the park property and construction of the
remaining park elements can then resume. The City Manager has directed this work to commence
immediately as an operational necessity and emergency.
