Administrative Recommendation:
City Council to authorize emergency work performed by RCI Construction, Inc.
Background Summary:
On Tuesday, October 21,2003, following very heavy rainfall, Maintenance and Operations staff
responded to a storm problem being experienced in the vicinity of the Amberview Apartments located on
Lea Hill. Upon investigation by City staff, it was determined that the pipe joints of a 24", 18-foot deep
storm main had failed. Upon assessment of the required repairs and potential impact to the apartments
should the main further deteriorate, the Public Works Director determined that the situation demanded an
immediate response and that the required work was outside the scope and capabilities of in-house forces.
Upon notification of the Mayor, an emergency condition was determined to exist and RCI Construction,
Inc. was called out to gain control of the flow prior to the next anticipated rainfall event. The contractor
was called upon to perform the work in accordance with RCW 39.04.280(1)(c), which allows for waiver of
competitive bidding requirements in emergency situations, and Auburn City Code 13.10.050, which
authorizes the Mayor to enter into emergency contracts.
Upon further assessment on October 22, 2003, it was determined that the pipe needed to be replaced.
The scope of work includes bypass pumping the storm line at maximum capacity and excavation to
investigate, determine the scope of the failed CMP pipe, and replacement of 250 lineal feet of 24" pipe.
Costs are estimated at approximately $130,000. This work will be paid from the Storm Utility capital fund,
which has $200,000 budgeted in 2003 for Developer Participation. These funds would not otherwise be
utilized within the budget year 2003.
