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 Services Department) APPROVE
