Recommendation
Acting as the governing body of the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District, continue the finding, first made by the Board of Supervisors on May 20, 2025, that there is substantial evidence that immediate action is needed to prevent or mitigate the threat to life, health, property and essential public services posed by the cessation of contracted emergency fire services to the Earp, California area on June 30, 2025, after contract negotiations failed, which will now result in a community losing access to essential public safety services, unless a modular building to house one engine company for sleeping accommodations is installed, to allow staff to provide continuing essential public safety services to the community by July 1, 2025, which will not permit the delay resulting from a formal competitive solicitation of bids to procure construction services, and delegating authority, originally by Resolution on May 20, 2025, to the Chief Executive Officer to direct the Purchasing Agent to issue purchase orders and/or contracts, in a total amount not-to-exceed $1,033,215, for any construction, installation, remediation, and modifications of internal and external structures related to the need for procurement and installation of a modular building at 52874 Parker Dam Road, in Earp, finding that the issuance of these purchase orders and/or contracts are necessary to respond to this emergency pursuant to Public Contract Code sections 22035 and 22050 (Four votes required).
