replacement of the remainder of said system have been prepared and obtained to
construct as soon as practicable; and

sealed bids may be opened in the Purchasing Agent's office and a contract may be
executed by the City Manager, may save approximately one and one -half months

would require that construction work be performed in and adjacent to Pacific
Coast Highway during the traffic - congested summer season; and

be let without advertising for bids;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
