Project Design Consultants (PDC), to update these DIF programs because these firms have
updated the programs in the past and understand the complex, inter-related issues of the two
DIF's; and
WHEREAS, staff conducted interviews and recommends Willdan be selected for this

WHEREAS, staff recommends that the consultant selection process of Municipal Code
Sections 2.56.070 and 2.56.110 be waived as impractical and potentially detrimental to the
project's timelines in that the proposed work is an integral part of the overall "Traffic Capacity
Enhancement" strategy and timing is critical to ensure that City thresholds are not exceeded and
Willdan has the expertise, history and resources to perform the work efficiently and on schedule;
and
WHEREAS, it is staff's recommendation that it is in the City's best interest to waive the
consultant selection process and retain the services of Willdan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby waive the Consultant Selection Policy for the reasons set forth above, and
approve a Two-Party Agreement between the City of Chula Vista and Willdan for consulting
services to update the Transportation and Interim SR-125 Development Impact Fee (DIF)
reports, a copy of which shall be kept on file in the Office of the City Clerk.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor is hereby authorized to execute the final
agreement on behalf of the City of Chula Vista.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that $33,000 is hereby appropriated from the
Transportation Development Impact Fee Fund and $33,000 is hereby appropriated from the
Interim SR-125 Development Impact Fee Fund for the update of the DIF reports. _
