ADVERTISING FOR BIDS.
WHEREAS, rock groins in West Newport Beach at 44th Street,
48th Street and 52nd Street are in need of repair; and
WHEREAS, the specialized heavy equipment that City staff needs
to perform the repair work is available at the Santa Ana River
mouth adjacent to the West Newport Beach Groin Field; and
WHEREAS, the Kasler Corporation owns the equipment and is
willing to rent it to the City at a price consistent with rental
rates for similar equipment in the Southern California area; and
WHEREAS, the City can perform the repair work more
economically than by advertising for bids in that City staff is
qualified to direct repairs and will save the costs of mobilization
of the required equipment; and
WHEREAS, Section 1110 of the City Charter authorizes the City

when, based upon estimates approved by the City Manager, it is more
economical to obtain necessary supplies and equipment on the open
market than by advertising for bids; and
WHEREAS, the City Manager has determined that the City will
save a substantial amount of money if it proceeds with the repair
• of the West Newport Beach Groin Field by using City engineers to

in the repairs.
