SUMMARY
On August IQ 2011, the Director of Public Works received sealed bids for the re-bid of the "Third
Avenue Streetscape Improvement Project, Phase 1, from STA 28+50 South of Center Street to `H'
Street." The re-bid represented the elimination of work between STA 28+50 (neaz Fuddmckers) and a
point north of "F" Street. A total of four bid proposals were received. The low bid is $4,296,999.90
submitted by 3-D Enterprises, Inc. of San Diego.
The public hearing would consider waiving a minor $0.10 mathematical error in the contractor's
base bid. The proposed resolutions would: (a) accept a financial commitment of up to $100,000
from the Third Avenue Village Association (TAVA); (b) direct staff to identify funding of
$840,000 from the General Fund Reserves, or other available funding sources, for the Third Avenue
Streetscape Project (CIP Project No. STL-362) in the FY 2012-13 Capital Improvement Program
(CIP) budget; (c) waive a minor bid irregularity, accept bids, award a contract to 3-D Enterprises,
Inc. in the amount of $4,296,999.90, and waive City Council Policy No. 574-01 and authorize the
Director of Public Works to execute all change orders up to a net cumulative amount of
$283,103.10; and, (d) authorize staff to apply for additional TransNet Smart Growth and other grant
funds in order to complete the Third Avenue Streetscape Improvement Project from approximate
STA 28+50 to "F" Street and/or "E" Street, as appropriate.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the project was covered in
previously adopted Final Environmental Impact Report for the Chula Vista Urban Core Specific
Plan (UCSP), Final Environmental Impact Report-06-O1 ("FEIR-06-O1"). Pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) on April 26, 2007 the City, acting as Lead Agency,
certified FEIR-06-O1 for the UCSP. On January 25, 2011 the City, acting as Lead Agency, having
found and determined that certain amendments to the UCSP, including the referenced Third Avenue
Streetscape improvements, would not result in significant unmitigated impacts and that only minor
technical changes or additions to FEIR-06-O1 were necessary and that none of the conditions
described in Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines calling for the prepazation of a
subsequent environmental document had occurred, adopted an Addendum to FEIR-06-O1.
Therefore, no further CEQA actions or determinations are necessary.
Additionally, because the project proposes to utilize federal Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) monies, the Development Services Director has also reviewed the proposal for compliance
with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) as implemented by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Environmental Guidelines. The Development Services
Director has determined that the project proposal qualifies for a previously certified Categorical
15-2
3/13/12, Item C ~
Page 3 of 7
Exclusion (subject to 58.5) pursuant to Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 24, Section
58.35(a). Thus; no further NEPA environmental review or determination is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
Council adopt the resolutions.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
Project Back round/Description
Third Avenue, between "H" Street and "E" Street is designated in the City's Urban Core Specific
Plan as a Smart Growth area. Smart Growth is characterized as providing a variety of transportation
choices, pedestrian-friendly access, and strong links between land uses and regional transportation.
Smart Growth fosters distinctive and attractive communities with strong and unique identities,
drawing people to them, thereby enhancing the area's overall vitality and economic stability.
With those guiding principles in mind, City staff prepared plans to implement the first phase of the
Urban Core Specific Plan's (UCSP's) Third Avenue Streetscape improvements between H Street
and F Street. Project features include:
^ Shorter Pedestrian Crossings and Improved Pedestrian and Multi-modal Accessibility
^ A Special Event Plaza Adjacent to Memorial Park
^ More Open Sidewalks for "People Gathering," Strolling, and Outdoor Dining
^ New Covered Transit Shelters with Seating and Improved ADA Accessibility
^ Community Gateway Features and Directional Signs
^ Decorative Concrete & Pavers
^ Improved and Energy Efficient Pedestrian Lighting
^ New Drought-Tolerant Landscaping
^ Additional Street Trees & Tree Up-Lighting
^ Removal of 1980s-era Planters and Planter Boxes
^ New Seating, Benches, and Street Furniture
Public Works Contract Bid
Because of uncertainty regarding Redevelopment Agency funding, City Council rejected the
previous bid on September 27, 2011 and the project re-bid as follows:
Base Bid: All work from "H" Street to Station 28+50 (near Fuddruckers)
Additive Alternative A: Miscellaneous items
Additive Alternative B: All work from Station 28+50 to just north of "F" Street
Additive Alternative C: Removal of Raised Planters between "F" Street and "E" Street
The basis for determining the low bidder is the Base Bid, as specified in the bid documents.
On November 9, 2011, the Director of Public Works received the following four bids:

* Base Bid is Basis of Award
The low bid submitted by 3-D Enterprises, Inc. is less than 1% below the Engineer's estimate. The
contractor submitted all required items and the bid was determined by staff to be responsive, except
that the contractor's bid total was in error by $0.10 and staff recommends that this minor
mathematical error be waived as immaterial. Staff has verified the contractor's references and
evaluated the work performed by the contractor on previous City projects and has determined that
their work is satisfactory. The Contractor's License No. 621125 is current and active. Therefore,
staff recommends that a construction contract be awazded to 3-D Enterprises, Inc. in the amount of
$4,296,999.90. The total funds needed for construction aze summazized as follows:
Base Bid $4,296,999.90
Reduce Water Relocation Work (Fuddruckers to "F" Street) - $ 128,060.00
Contingencies $ 283,103.10
1. Change Order for Sand Seal & Striping to Implement Urban Core
Specific Plan (UCSP) Lane Configurations (STA 28+50 to "F" Street)
2. Contingencies on Base Contract
Staff Charges $ 350,000.00
Material Testing $ 50,000.00
TOTAL FUNDS NEEDED FOR CONSTRUCTION $4,852,043.00
Staff recommends that the water relocation work at "F" Street be delayed until such time as
additional funds become available to complete the streetscape work, including bulb-outs between
STA 28+50 and "F" Street, thereby resulting in a $128,060 reduction in the base contract, which
15-4
3/13/12, Item ! ~
Page 5 of 7
would be implemented via contract change order. Staff further recommends that all UCSP traffic
modifications (i.e., traffic signal modifications, lane configurations, etc.) from STA 28+50 to "E"
Street be implemented at this time.
Proposed Fundine to Comnlete Streetscape Imnrovements from "H" Street to Station 28+50
Staff recommends the following combination of existing and proposed appropriations in order to
award a contract to 3-D Enterprises, Inc. and construct the improvements from "H" Street to Station
28+50 (between Madrona and Center Streets):

TOTAL CONSTRUCTION FUNDS $3,162,043 $1,315,000 $375,000 $4,852,043
* Proposed project funding per City Council Resolution No. 2011-192
At its February 1, 2012 meeting, the TAVA Board, the City's partner in the Third Avenue
Streetscape project, voted to commit up to $100,000 in funding to the project in the form of a cash
contribution or a combination of cash and a reduction in the scope of the Third Avenue Village Sign
Program included in the base bid. Staff recommends that the City Council accept TAVA's financial
commitment to the project.
Staff recommends that City Council approve the resolution directing staff to identify funding of
$840,000 from the General Fund Reserves, or other available identified funding sources, for the
"Third Avenue Streetscape Project (CIP Project No: STL-362)" in the FY 2012-13 Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) budget. The use of the General Fund Reserve to close the funding gap
in the Third Avenue Streetscape project was directed by the City Council at the Februazy 28, 2012
meeting because failure to construct the project now could result in the loss of TransNet Smart
Growth, RDA, and CDBG funds currently in the project, as well as TAVA's financial commitment
and future TransNet Smart Growth Grant funding. Should the appropriation of General Fund
Reserves be recommended at the time the proposed FY 2012-13 CIP budget is presented, staff will
also report on how said reserve funds would be replenished, as required by the City's Reserve
Policy.
Because the eazliest the contractor would be able to start work if the contract is awarded this
evening is May 2012, appropriation of the balance of the construction funds in the FY2012-13 CIP
would not impair progress of the work or result in an inability to pay the contractor for work
performed within the current fiscal year. The contractor has agreed to enter into a contract with the
15-5
3/13/12, Item
Page 6 of 7
City upon the understanding that the scope of work would be reduced should Council choose not to
appropriate the $840,000 and/or additional CDBG funding in the FY 2012-13 CIP.
Finally, the proposed timing of FY 2013 and FY 2014 CDBG funding could potentially result in a
shortfall in Capital Improvement Program (CIP) staff reimbursements of between $120,000 and
$150,000 in FY2012 and of up to $200,000 in FY2013. This shortfall would be realized and
recovered through a combination of potentially over-realized revenues in FY2012 and FY2013 and
a CDBG appropriation to the project in FY 2014.
Proiect Chance Order Authority
Staff is also requesting that the City Council authorize the Director of Public Works ("Director") to
approve change orders over and above existing policy limits. Under City Council Policy No. 574-
01, the Director is authorized to execute individual additive and deductive contract change orders up
to $50,000 and cumulative (net) change orders up to a specified maximum based upon the base
contract amount authority ("Maximum Aggregate Increase in Change Orders"). The corresponding
maximum aggregate contract increase that may be approved by the Director under Policy No. 574-
01 is $237,850. Approval of the resolution awarding the contract to 3-D Enterprises, Inc. would
also authorize the Director to execute all contract change orders up to a cumulative amount of
$283,103.1, with no maximum individual change order limit. Waiving City Council Policy No.
574-01 will allow staff to continue the project without delay should unforeseen circumstances
resulting in increased project costs arise during the course of construction, make adjustments to bid
item quantities, and implement a deductive change order for the reduced scope in water relocation
work without further City Council approval. Unforeseen conditions include such items as utility
conflicts, hazardous materials, unexpected underground conflicts, etc.
Future Streetscape Implementation Phases
Once construction is underway for the current phase of the Third Avenue Streetscape Project, the
City will be able to apply for additional TransNet Smart Growth Grant funds to continue
construction of the improvements to just north of "F" Street (this segment is ready for construction),
or to "E" Street, if possible. Therefore, staff requests that the City Council also approve a
resolution that would authorize staff to apply for additional TransNet Smart Growth and other grant
funds in order to complete the Third Avenue Streetscape Improvement Project from approximately
STA 28+50 to "F" Street and/or "E" street, as appropriate.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings
within 500 feet of the boundaries of the properties, which are the subject of these actions.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the project, as proposed above, may result in shortfalls in Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) staff reimbursements of between $120,000 and $150,000 in FY2012 and of up to
$200,000 in FY2013. This shortfall would be realized and recovered through a combination of
potentially over-realized revenues in FY2012 and FY2013 and a CDBG appropriation in FY 2014.

Page 7 of 7
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Funding from the General Fund or other available funds will be identified in the Fiscal Year 2012-
13 CIP budget for Council consideration.
Upon completion of contractor maintenance, the Third Avenue Village Association (TAVA) will
assume responsibility for a majority of the streetscape's maintenance in accordance with an
agreement approved by City Council on December 13, 2011 by Resolution No. 2011-255; the City
will maintain the streets, street trees, and street pavers (for line and grade only) at a cost to the City
not more than similar streets that do not have such streetscape enhancements.

PRESENTATION
ebruary 22, 2012 v
Dear Mayor Cox, and Councilmembers Patricia Aguilar, Steve Castaneda, and Pamela
Bensoussan,
I strongly urge you to support the Third Avenue Streetscape Master Plan which will be
before you at City Council this Tuesday, February 28th. Your vote sends a strong
message that you support our historic downtown village area and want to finish what has
already been started. Don't let seven years of community effort and hundreds of
thousands of our tax dollars go to waste. I'm counting on YOU to vote for the
reallocation of crucial monies to the Third Avenue Streetscape Master Plan. Without
which, our beloved Third Avenue Village will fail to see the revitalization it so
desperately needs.
Signed,
