The City of Portland ordains:

Section 1.  The Council finds:

2.  The City of Portland Bureau of Environmental is responsible for reliable, uninterrupted sanitary sewer service. Reconstruction of the sewers under this project will insure that reliability.

NOW, THEREFORE, the council directs:

 a.  The Commissioner of Public Affairs and Auditor are authorized to execute a contract with the lowest responsible bidder for the project described in Section 1, in accordance with the plans and specifications to be filed with the Purchasing Agent.

 b.  The Mayor and Auditor are hereby authorized to draw and deliver warrants chargeable to the Sewer System Operating Fund Budget when demand is presented and approved by the proper authority.

Section 2.  The Council declares that an emergency exists because a delay in proceeding with the project could delay the completion of the project on schedule and may result in failed sanitary sewer service. Therefore, this ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage by the Council.
