A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
DECLARING AN URGENT NECESSITY TO CONSTRUCT A PORTION OF THE
AVON STREET STORM DRAIN WITHOUT CONFORMING TO THE FORMAL
BIDDING PROCESS
WHEREAS, a new storm drain to divert run -off from Riverside Avenue has
been constructed from the Bay through the John Dominis Restaurant across Coast
Highway and through the Newport Jaguar site; and
WHEREAS, Newport Jaguar is required to pave Avon Street between the
existing pavement and their new building and plan to accomplish this paving in
mid- September; and
WHEREAS, said storm drain must go below the new paving and is the
CITY's responsibility to install; and
WHEREAS, if CITY were to install the storm drain in Avon Street after
the new paving was in place it would substantially increase the cost of the
project; and
WHEREAS, Section 1110 of the City Charter requires Public Works
contracts in excess of $30,000 to go through a formal bid process of advertising
for bids and it is estimated that this project will exceed that amount; and
WHEREAS, Section 1110 also provides that by at least five affirmative
votes the City Council may deem that an urgent necessity exists and allow a
contract to be let without using the formal bid advertising process.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that a situation of urgent necessity
exists concerning the installation of a portion of the Riverside Avenue
diversion storm drain in Avon Street, in that, Avon Street is scheduled to be
paved by Newport Jaguar in approximately one month and that if the storm drain
cannot be installed prior to the paving of Avon Street, it will cause the CITY
to incur substantial additional expense to install said storm drain.

Adopted this 22nd day of August , 1988.
