FINDINGS
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of South San Francisco hereby finds as follows:

necessity demanded the immediate commencement of the above-described work at the Miller
Properties offices and the expenditure of public money for such work to safeguard life, health and
property;
B. Pursuant to California Public Contract Code Section 22050, substantial evidence as
set forth in the staff report prepared concerning this resolution, and as set forth in this resolution,
establishes that the emergency conditions at the Miller Properties would not permit delay resulting
from competitive solicitation for bids for the work, staff ordered done at such properties as described
above, and such work was necessary to respond to the emergency conditions at the Miller Properties;

have jeopardized the public health, safety and welfare, and risk further damage to public and private
property, and result in the public incurring additional expense, including, but not limited to,
additional expense due to delay and potential property loss, and therefore competitive bidding of
such work would not have produced an advantage for the public;
