SUBJECT: Declaration of Emergency for Damaged Signal Pole Located
at Airport Way and Logan Avenue South
On Saturday, June 23, 2018 at approximately 2:30 a.m. the Transportation Maintenance
staff member on call was notified that a traffic signal pole located at the intersection of
Airport Way and Logan Avenue South was struck and knocked down by a vehicle. The
signal pole foundation was also destroyed. Due to the extent of the damage a
temporary signal pole and signal head was installed for the southbound approach. The
damage also resulted in the need to temporarily close the pedestrian crosswalk crossing
Airport Way until a new signal pole and foundation can be installed. Estimated cost to
replace the signal pole and foundation is $40,000.
Therefore, I, 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 requirements and award all necessary contracts on behalf of the
City of Renton to address the emergency situation. In emergency situations, 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.
