Re: Emergency Procurement - Written Findings and Request for Authorization
Document the emergency:
This procurement is related to the serious potential water shortages with respect to the City of Ashland's watershed. Jackson
County has declared a drought emergency and the Ashland City Council has approved the Talent Ashland Phoenix (TAP
intertie) waterline as an emergency project in order to meet user water needs late in the season. The emergency condition was
declared due to record level low snowpack this season in Ashland's watershed.
In order to offset potential severe water shortages for the community procurement of specific items is required to meet the
timeline associated with when these water shortages could occur.
The City of Ashland's consultant engineer for the emergency TAP Intertie Project, R112, determined that modifications to the
electrical and control systems at the City of Talent and Regional Pump Stations are required to provide an adequate supply of
water to the City of Ashland through the TAP intertie to avert a water shortage this summer. These modifications need to be
procured in an expedited manner and so they can be completed in the time needed. It is recommended that construction of
these modification be performed by Taurus Power and Controls, Inc. (Taurus) as having been determined to be the most
qualified and can complete the work in the required time period.
Document solicitation process:
The City's consultant engineer, RH2, subcontracted with Taurus to design the required modifications. This firm was the
original controls integrator for the Regional Pump Station and the City of Phoenix and City of Talent water.pump stations for
the TAP project in the early 2000's. Consequently, this firm was selected to perform both the design and construct the
improvements as no other firm has the experience and control system programming code to design and construct the needed
modifications. A cost proposal was received by Taurus to construct the required modifications. The electrical work is being
subcontracted to a local electrical company and the control modifications and programming (control integration) will be done
by Taurus. Both of these elements o work must be performed in close coordination to keep both systems in operation while the
work is being done.
Amount of Original Emergency Contract: $81,365.00
Amount of Modified Emergency Contract: $ 29,240.00
Amount of Total Emergency Contract: $110, 605.00

KNOW ALL BY THESE PRESENTS, That we, Taurus Power and Controls, Inc., as Principal, and
Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America, a Connecticut corporation, as Surety, are held and firmly
bound unto City of Ashland, Oregon, as Obligee, in the sum of One Hundred Ten Thousand Six Hundred Five

effect. Surety's obligations hereunder shall not arise unless Principal is in default under the Contract for failing to
perform the Construction Work, and has been declared by Obligee to be in default under the Contract for failing
to perform the Construction Work; and Obligee has performed its obligations under the Contract. In such event,
Surety shall have a reasonable period of time to:
1. Upon entering into an acceptable written takeover agreement with Obligee, undertake to

2. Obtain bids or negotiated proposals from qualified contractors for a contract for completion of

4. The Contract balance, as defined below, shall be credited against the reasonable construction
cost of completing the Construction Work to be performed under the Contract. If completed by Obligee pursuant
to paragraphs 2 or 3 above, and the reasonable construction cost exceeds the Contract balance, Surety shall
pay to Obligee such excess, but in no event shall the aggregate liability of Surety exceed the amount of this
bond. If Surety completes the Construction Work pursuant to paragraph 1 above, that portion of the Contract
balance as may be required to complete the Construction Work to be done under the Contract and to reimburse
Surety for its outlays shall be paid to Surety at the times and in the manner as said sums would have been
payable to Principal had there been no default under the Contract; provided, however, that to the extent that
Surety's outlays exceed the Contract balance paid to Surety by Obligee, Surety shall be entitled to a dollar for
dollar reduction of its liability under this bond, and Surety's aggregate liability shall not exceed the penal sum of
this bond. The term "Contract balance," as used in the paragraph, shall mean the total amount payable by
Obligee under the Contract and any amendments thereto, less the amounts properly paid by Obligee to Principal
under the Contract. The term "Construction Work" as used herein shall mean the providing all labor and/or
material necessary to complete Principal's scope of work under the Contract. Notwithstanding any language in
the Contract to the contrary, the Contract balance shall not be reduced or set off on account of any obligation,

deemed to have accrued and shall commence to run no later than the earlier of (y) the date of substantial
completion of the Construction Work, or (z) the date Principal ceased performing Construction Work, excluding
warranty work.
6. No suit or action shall be commenced hereunder other than in a court of competent jurisdiction
in the county or other political subdivision of the state in which the project, or any part thereof, is situated, or in
the United States District Court for the district in which the project, or any part thereof, is situated, and not

7. This bond shall not afford coverage for any liability of Principal for tortious acts, whether or not
said liability is direct or is imposed by the Contract, and shall not serve as or be a substitute for or supplemental
to any liability or other insurance required by the Contract. No right of action shall accrue on this bond to or for
