FINDINGS
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of South San Francisco hereby finds as follows:
A. Pursuant to California Public Contract Code Section 20168, the public interest and necessity
demanded the immediate commencement of the above - described work on Junipero Serra in the City and
the expenditure of public money for such work to safeguard life, health and property; and
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
emergency conditions continue to exist on Junipero Serra in the City that threaten public health and
safety due the storm drain damage, and such emergency conditions would not permit additional delay
resulting from competitive solicitation for bids for the work staff ordered done at such properties as
described above, and such work continues to be necessary to respond to the emergency conditions on
Junipero Serra and eliminate dangerous public road conditions; and
C. Terminating the emergency repair project now and let the remaining work on Junipero Serra to
competitive bidding would jeopardize public health, safety and welfare; risk additional 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 further damage. Therefore, it remains that competitive bidding of
such work would not produce an advantage for the public; and
D. The emergency work authorized on Junipero Serra in the City continues to be statutorily exempt
from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15269, subparagraphs (b) and (c).
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of South San Francisco hereby does resolve, by at
