County Operations

January 2025 Windstorm and Critical Fire Events Bi-Weekly Emergency

Contracts Report

Recommendation: Review the emergency actions ordered and taken by the

Director of Internal Services, under delegated authority by the Board, acting as

both the County and the Governing Body of various Districts, under Board

Order No. 13-C of January 28, 2025, to respond to and recover from the

January 2025 Windstorm and Critical Fire Events, including the Palisades Fire,

Eaton Fire, Hurst Fire, Kenneth Fire, and multiple other fires (LA County Fires)

(1, 3 and 5) and actions enumerated in the aforementioned authorities

(Actions), without giving notice for bids to let contracts, and determine that there

is a need to continue the emergency Actions; find that there is substantial

evidence that the January 2025 Windstorm and Critical Fire Events continue to

constitute an emergency pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22050,

which requires that immediate action be taken to cleanup and reconstruct public

property, buildings, facilities, and infrastructure because the emergency does

not permit the delay resulting from a formal competitive solicitation of bids

and/or proposals to procure construction, materials, equipment and services for

projects and initiatives necessary to respond to and recover from the LA County

Fires; and find that authority should, therefore, continue to be delegated to the

Director of Internal Services to amend or extend and supplement existing

as-needed or on-call contracts without giving notice for bids to let contracts

related to facilities and related support services, and to award new contracts for

response to and recovery from the LA County Fires, and such contracts should

be issued because they are necessary to respond to the emergency. (Internal
