OFFICE OF THE MAYOR
DECLARATI ON OF EMERGENCY SITUATION
WHEREAS, on November 1, 2022, a signal pole on the northeast corner of
152nd Street NE and Smokey Point Blvd was hit by a vehicle and damaged beyond
repair; and
WHEREAS, as a result, the intersection of Smokey Point Blvd and 152nd
Street NE is currently operating as a stop-control intersection, causing significant
traffic buildup and delays; 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 functions; 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 RCW 39.04.280(2)(b), have found that an
emergency situation exists and therefore have waived competitive bidding
requirements for emergency repairs to the intersection of Smokey Point Blvd and
152nd Street NE in order to restore a fully operating traffic signal, and have
authorized City staff to solicit and award the contracts necessary to effectuate such
repairs.
Council will be presented with a resolution ratifying my decision to declare
an emergency and to waive competitive bidding requirements at the next regularly
scheduled City Council meeting.
