A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, FINDING AND DETERMINING
THAT THE PUBLIC INTEREST REQUIRES WAIVING THE
BID PROCESS FOR THE EMERGENCY REPAIRS TO THE
ENGINE OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HELICOPTER.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE
AS FOLLOWS:
1. It is necessary to complete emergency repairs to the helicopter engine of the Costa
Mesa Police Department helicopter on an expedited basis in order to assure that the public
continues to receive uninterrupted police helicopter patrol services in the City of Costa Mesa.
2. Advertising for bids to comply with laws or regulations requiring competitive bidding
for the repair services would delay completion of the repairs, present the real possibility of
interrupting police helicopter patrol services and not realize any cost savings for the City of
Costa Mesa.
3. The City Manager and the Police Chief have directed City staff to conduct informal
bidding, and a contractor was obtained to perform the repairs at a low bid price.
4. The utilization of the emergency services to repair the helicopter engine would
realize significant cost savings to the City of Costa Mesa by reducing rental engine costs and
such savings in cost would exceed any benefits of competitive bidding and assure that the City
would be paying the lowest cost for the helicopter engine repairs.
5. Based on these findings, the competitive bidding requirements for the subject
emergency helicopter engine repairs should be waived and the contract for such repairs
authorized by the City Manager and the Police Chief.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Costa
Mesa, California, waives the bidding requirements for the emergency helicopter engine repairs
for the Costa Mesa Police Department helicopter and hereby ratifies the contract for engine
repairs authorized by the City Manager and the Police Chief.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 21st day of February, 1995.
