TITLE
A RESOLUTION RESCINDING RESOLUTION 10438 IN ITS ENTIRETY TO INSTALL
DEWATERING WELLS AND ASSOCIATED PIPING AND METERING AT THE JAMES
R. DIIORIO WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY AND CANCELING THE PROJECT.
ISSUE
Should the City Council rescind Resolution 10438 in its entirety?
RECOMMENDATION
Approve this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The Wastewater Department included in its annual budget request for 2005 a capital
project for installation of a dewatering system at the Water Reclamation Facility. The
capital project included a funding request for $100,000 per year over a period of three
consecutive years (2005, 2006 and 2007) to fund the well construction. The project was
bid in 2005, and Resolution 10438 was passed on July 11, 2005 erroneously awarding
the project to Spaccamonti Excavating, Inc.
Because the unencumbered balance of appropriated funds is presently unable to meet
the payment obligations under the contract, the contract may not be lawfully entered
into, per § 7 -18(k) of the Charter, § 24- 91- 103.6, C.R.S. (2004), and Article X, § 20 of the
Colorado Constitution.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Because no funds will be expended at this time for this project, there is no financial
impact.
