MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 15, 2015
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION FOR THE EMERGENCY
RENTAL OF WATER FILLED TRAFFIC BARRIERS
City Council consider adopting a resolution authorizing and ratifying the emergency rental
of water filled traffic barriers for Public Works that was made from Buyers Barricades.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funding for this rental is currently available in account 100-44573-120-9 (Leases &
Rentals) in the amount of $24,299.00.
BACKGROUND:
Water filled barriers were placed on the segment of Fairway Drive crossing the dam
spillway as soon as the Corps would allow us to open the spillway for vehicular traffic.
These barriers were installed as an interim measure to open the roadway to traffic. These
barriers were in use for 2 months before we were allowed to re -install the guardrail across
the spillway. The cost of the barricades for the second month resulted in the total cost
exceeding the Staff authorization limit of $15,000.
An emergency purchase order was issued to Buyers Barricades for the water filled traffic
barriers on July 22, 2015 for $13,313.67 and revised on August 28, 2015 to $24,299.00.
Staff recommends approval.
