VISTA WAIVING THE FORMAL BIDDING PROCESS AND AUTHORIZING
THE CITY MANAGER AND THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TO
ENTER INTO IMMEDIATE INFORMAL BID NEGOTIATIONS WITH
VENDORS AND TO AWARD CONTRACT TO THE LOWEST RESPONSIBLE
INFORMAL BIDDER, FOR THE IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT OF DAMAGE
CHILLER UNITS AT THE CHULA VISTA PUBLIC LIBRARY AT 365
"F" STREET, CHULA VISTA, CALIFORNIA
WHEREAS, on July 20, 1993, an unscheduled power outage in Chula Vista
caused a system failure to one of the two existing 75 ton chiller units at the
Public Library and the 75 ton compressor motor failed; and,
WHEREAS, therefore, this equipment shorted out when SDG&E lost at least one
of the three phases of power to this facility and the remaining 75 ton chiller
unit is the older of the two existing chillers and will not maintain comfortable
temperatures for patrons in this facility during the months of August, September
and October; and,
WHEREAS, a rental portable chiller unit (at a cost of $4,950/month) is en
route to the facility at this time and will be connected to the existing chilled
water piping within the week which will enable the library to remain open to the
public until retrofit chillers can be installed; and,
WHEREAS, there is an approved CIP project to replace the chillers and the
design for the project was recently completed; and,
WHEREAS, because of the immediate need to replace the chillers and because
of the significant cost to temporarily rent a unit, staff recommends an expedited
purchasing process.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby waive the formal bidding process in accordance with City
Charter Section 1009 and authorizes the City Manager and the Director of Public
Works to receive informal emergency bids and award a contract to the lowest
responsible informal bidder for immediate delivery and installation of equipment
to replace the existing 16 year old cooling equipment.
