SR-06-26-1979-6B-10Santa :Monica, Califo a, June 19, 1979 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: City Staff /. SUBJECT: Repair of Memorial Park Gymnasium Doors Introduction /U JUN 2 6 1979 This report concerns the recommendation to waive formal bid procedures and to authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute a contract for the repair of the Memorial Park Gymnasium doors. Background On September 1, 1978, a stolen vehicle was driven into the gymnasium doors causing considerable damage to the metal doors, framing and structural beams. A temporary wooden enclosure was immediately installed by a City carpenter. The enclosure remains in place. Since the time of the accident staff has solicited bids to repair the damage. Due to the specialized structural nature of the work only one qualified contractor has been found. It is estimated that the total cost of repairs will be $7,000 thus exceeding the informal bid limit. Further, the apparent scarcity of qualified contractors indicated that formal bidding, in this instance, would entail additional expense and delay with no assurance of tangible benefit to the City. Funds are available in the City Comprehensive Self- Insurance Fund. Staff has checked Police Department records and indicate that no suspects were apprehended. According to the City Attorney's office, the vehicle owner cannot be held responsible. Recommendation It is recommended that bid procedures be waived, the City Manager be authorized to negotiate and execute a contract for repair of the gymnasium doors, and the attached resolution be adopted. 0 Prepared by: Donald T.
