The purchasing agent shall notify the city council of the declaration of emergency, if made, and the facts and circumstances surrounding the emergency execution of the contract, as soon as possible, in light of the emergency circumstances. Any public improvement contract awarded under emergency conditions must be awarded within 60 days following the declaration of an emergency unless the city council grants an extension of the emergency period. When the delay required to obtain a payment or performance bond would result in injury or substantial property damage, the purchasing agent may waive, wholly or in part, the requirement for a payment or performance bond.
