RESOLUTION NO. 98132
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF NEWPORT BEACH AUTHORIZING WORK, SUPPLIES
AND MATERIALS TO BE PURCHASED ON THE OPEN
MARKET IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT
OF AN OIL TANK FARM AND TREATMENT PLANT
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach
finds and determines that it is in the best interest of the City
to own, maintain and operate an oil tank farm and treatment plan
in conjunction with the City wells producing oil and other hydro-
carbons from City tidelands in the West Newport area; and
WHEREAS, the existing agreement for the operation of
the City's oil wells in West Newport will expire on January 25,
1981; and
WHEREAS, in order for the City to continue oil produc-
tion after January 25, 1981, it is essential that the City build
and have in operation an oil tank farm and treatment plant on or
about January 25, 1981; and
WHEREAS, the lead time required for the construction
and operation of an oil tank farm and treatment plant is con-
trolled by the necessity to obtain regulatory permits, the time
of which is beyond the control of the City, the long lead time
required to purchase specialized oilfield equipment, and the
necessity to acquire necessary property rights for the construc-
tion, operation and maintenance of the oil tank farm and treat-
ment plant is such that there does not exist sufficient time to
comply with all the formal bidding requirements of the City's
Charter and have the work completed on or near January 25, 1981;
and
f
.t
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that it
. is necessary, pursuant to Section 1110 of the Charter of the City
of Newport Beach for the preservation of property to permit the
•
purchase of work, supplies and materials in conjunction with the
oil tank farm and treatment plant on the open market without
advertising for bids due to said long lead time required and fur-
ther due to the fact that a termination of the oil production on
or about January 25, 1981, could result in the loss of certain
City rights to produce oil from its tidelands, to the great
detriment of the citizens of the City of Newport Beach; and
WHEREAS, the City Council further finds, in its opinion
and based upon estimates from the City Manager, that the work in
question may be better and more economically performed by the
City with its own employees and that the work, supplies and mate-
rials in conjunction with the proposed oil tank farm and treat-
ment plant may be purchased more economically on the open market
without advertising for bids,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of Newport Beach that the City Manager may proceed to
have work done by City forces, that work, supplies and materials
may be purchased on the open market in conjunction with the oil
tank farm and treatment plant, and that no public bid need be had
for any such work, supplies or materials due to the necessity for
the preservation of property and the property interest of the
City of Newport Beach in the tidelands oil, all pursuant to Sec-
tion 1110 of the Charter of the City of Newport Beach.
