Summary:
|
|
To support the emergency repair of the Gas Line at El Monte Elementary School, the district required the support from an outside vendor, MBS Engineering, Inc.
A gas leak was detected and the gas to the majority of the site had to be shut down. During the repair, an extensive detection process took place and the leak was located underground, below the concrete walkway, moving uphill at the front of campus. Due to the deterioration of the original steel line, staff directed the contractor to replace all of the underground main line and install a new polyethylene pipe with fused joints. This will eliminate future rust and/or corrosion, avoiding future leaks.
California Public Contract Code § 20113, allows (a) In an emergency when any repairs, alterations, work, or improvement is necessary to any facility of public schools to permit the continuance of existing school classes, or to avoid danger to life or property, the board may, by unanimous vote, with the approval of the county superintendent of schools, do either of the following: (1) Make a contract in writing or otherwise on behalf of the district for the performance of labor and furnishing of materials or supplies for the purpose without advertising for or inviting bids. |
