BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
YAKIMA, WASHINGTON
AGENDASTATEMENT
Item No. 5.B.
For Meeting of: March 1, 2016
ITEM TITLE: Resolution ratifying the declaration of an emergency and authorizing
the City Manager to execute the replacement of the engine for
Transit Bus # 60
SUBMITTED BY: Scott Schafer, Director of Public Works
Richard Wonner, Fleet and Facilities Manager, 576 -6412
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Yakima Transit's bus #60 had a premature catastrophic failure with its engine in late 2015. The
Equipment Rental Division had insufficient resources as well as labor time to repair and replace
the engine. Since Yakima Transit did not have a sufficient number of spare busses to provide
service when a bus is out of commission, an emergency was declared to expedite the repair and
replacement of the engine to avoid shutting down a bus route. To also complicate matters, was
the inability to wait to present this at the next scheduled City Council meeting prior to needed the
work completed.
It is in the best interest of the City to declare an emergency dispensing necessity for bidding for
services, material, and equipment and supplies costing more than $25,000 and to authorize the
execution of all applicable documents to remove and replace the engine in Transit bus # 60.
Cummins Northwest, located here in Yakima, has since conducted the necessary work in a timely
manner with high quality results due to their technical and expertise knowledge. Their efforts
allowed Transit to continue their vital service on all routes without limitations. The total amount for
repairs was $29,235.58.
Staff is seeking City Council approval for the emergency repair work conducted on Transit bus
#60.
