RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH AUTHORIZING THE DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC WORKS TO CONTRACT FOR CORRECTIVE WORK
ON UNIT #3 OF THE OVERMYER RESERVOIR
WHEREAS, it has been determined that corrective work
on Unit #3 of the Overmyer Reservoir is necessary and the
original contractor doing said corrective work has defaulted
and the contract terminated, and it is essential that this
repair work be undertaken immediately inasmuch as the leakage
detected in the system has precluded its operation; and
The City has, pursuant to Resolution No. 3652, previously
authorized $50,000 to be applied to the cost of the addi-
tional corrective work and $28,000 has not yet been used
to accomplish the work; and
p ,
Kiewit Sons Company, the original contractor on the job,
has negotiated and agreed with the City to do the necessary
remedial work on a cost basis with no charge for the first
$103000 of cost, making the estimated cost of the work
to be done no more than $25, 000; and
Kiewit has agreed to do all subsequent repair work which
may be found necessary after tests are run on the completed
reservoir; and
Kiewit and the City, through a desire to settle disputes
which have existed for over a year as to responsibility for
the reservoir leakage problem, and to complete the reservoir
and resolve the problems so as to obtain the needed use of
said reservoir, and in consideration of the above, have pre-
pared a mutual release; and
The Overmyer project involves the extension of an
existing public utility operated by the City, to wit: the
City Water Department water distribution system, which project
MHM/er 1.
