WHEREAS, on January 6, 2022, a signal pole on the northeast comer of 136^ Street NE
and State Avenue was hit by a vehicle and damaged beyond repair; and
WHEREAS, as a result. State Avenue at the intersection of 136**" Street is currently closed
to northbound traffic, and is otherwise in a red flash and being treated as an all-way stop for all
other directions of traffic; and
WHEREAS, this condition is not sustainable and presents a real, immediate threat to the
safety of the travelling public and to the proper performance of essential flmctions; and
WHEREAS, competitive bidding for a repair to the signal pole could take weeks or even
months, and such a delay would result in an unacceptable risk to the travelling public and negative
impact to the proper functioning of the city's transportation system; and
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jon Nehring, Mayor of the City of Marysville, as a result of the
above-noted situation, and under ROW 39.04.280(2)(b), have found that an emergency situation
exists and therefore have waived competitive bidding requirements for emergency repairs to the

and have authorized City staff to solicit and award the contracts necessary to effectuate such
repairs.
