WHEREAS, the "E" and "H" Street segments between Interstate 5 and Broadway, and
the Palomar segment between Interstate 5 and Industrial Boulevard have long been considered
primary entryways into the City in need ofrevitalization; and

has developed a scope of work for the Chula Vista Entryway Beauti~cation Project; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of the Chula Vista Entryway Beautification Project is to create a
thematic approach to these entryways and corridors emphasizing the City's unique character and
providing an enticing door to the City's downtown and waterfront areas; and
WHEREAS, in September 2000, the Community Development Department issued to
prospective planning and design consultants a Request for Response to the drafi scope of work
for the Chula Vista Entryway Beautification Project, which initially only included the "E" and
"H" Street segments; and
WHEREAS, the Request for Response was not advertised as the City originally estimated
the "E" and "H" Street segments to cost less than $50,000; and
WHEREAS, the City's Purchasing Guidelines specifies that City requested consultant
services costing less than $50,000 requires only three proposals; and
WHEREAS, in order to remain consistent with consultant selection procedures, the City
solicited responses from an established list of pre-qualified consultants for As-Needed Planning
and Engineering Services; and
WHEREAS, Estrada Land Planning, Inc. was selected as the consultant due to their
response to the scope of work, their extensive planning and design experience, and the
satisfactory work they've performed on other projects of similar nature in other jurisdictions; and
WHEREAS, Estrada's scope of work was expanded to include the Palomar segment
between Interstate 5 and Industrial Boulevard, because it was acknowledged that the Palomar
segment was also a primary entryway into the City in need of revitalization; and
WHEREAS, Estrada's revised proposal to include the Palomar segment increased the
cost over the City's $50,000 requirement to advertise for consultant services; and

WHEREAS, the City is waiving the bidding process as impractical because the City
made a good faith effort to solicit responses from the established list ofpre-quali~ed consultants;
and
WHEREAS, heavy workloads, a merger between planning firms, and the short time
flame to complete the "H" Street segment made it difficult for other consultants to respond to the
Request for Response; and
WHEREAS, Estrada Land Planning, Inc. warrants and represents that they are
experienced and staffed in a matter such that they are and can prepare and deliver the services
required to the City Council of the City of Chula Vista within the time flames provided in the
Agreement in accordance with all terms and conditions of the Agreement; and

Palomar segment between Interstate 5 and Industrial Boulevard; and
