TO: Gregg Zimmerman, Public Works Administrator
FROM: Denis Law, Mayor
SUBJECT: Declaration of Emergency — Kennydale Lakeline Sewer
System
The Kennydale Lakeline Sewer System, comprised of approximately 5,200 linear feet of
8-inch sewer main, 316-inch sewer laterals, a flush station at its south end and a lift
station at its north end, is currently experiencing capacity restraints at two locations along
the alignment. The capacity has been reduced to less than 30% at those two locations,
thus creating a significant potential for a blockage of the sewer line that will result in
sanitary sewer overflows into both Lake Washington and the adjacent homes being
served. In order to assure that the construction window is met during the summer of
2018 to install additional access manholes in the lake, clean the entire lakeline and
replace the failing pumps at the lift station, the city will need to directly contract for those
services without a formal bidding and purchase process.
Therefore 1, Denis Law, Mayor of the City of Renton, declare an emergency pursuant to
the provisions of RCW 39.04.280 and Renton Policy and Procedure 250-02, paragraph
6.10, and authorize Gregg Zimmerman, Public Works Administrator, to waive
competitive bidding and purchasing requirements and award all necessary contracts on
behalf of the City of Renton to address the emergency situation. In an emergency
situation, RCW 39.04.280 requires that a written finding of the existence of an
emergency be made and entered into the public record no later than two weeks
following the award of the contract.
