WHEREAS, the City Manager has provided a written recommendation that the Professional

Section 3. By a four -fifths (4/5ths) affirmative vote, after an advertised public hearing, the City
Manager's finding of an emergency that it is in the public's best interest to waive competitive sealed
bidding procedures, allowing the OBC to select, direct, supervise, manage and be responsible for a
general contractor/construction firm, who is an appropriately licensed, bonded, insured and qualified
general contractor, who is to undertake and perform such the construction work on behalf of the
OBC and the City for this Project by method other than competitive procurement is ratified, approved
and confirmed by the City Commission. The reasons are detailed elsewhere but may be
summarized as saying that this is a condition to OBC's grant for this Project and that the time to
competitively award this Project by customary sealed bidding methods used for public works and
improvements would cause a loss of OBC's funding and generous contribution to the City as well as
cause a time delay that would not accommodate the events and programs already planned for the
Project.
Section 4. By a four -fifths (4/5ths) affirmative vote the City Manager's written finding of a valid
public emergency which necessitates dispensing with the customary CCNA public announcement
and qualification and other procedures is ratified, confirmed and approved by the City Commission
for reasons set forth in the City Manager's memo which may be summarized by noting that following
the formal CCNA procedures will not allow the design of the Project to meet the requirements of
