RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA APPROVING THE CONSULTANT SERVICES
AGREEMENTS WITH THE ALFORD GROUP, INC. TO
PROVIDE FUNDRAISING CONSULTANT SERVICES FOR
THE CHULA VISTA PUBLIC LIBRARY AND THE CHULA
VISTA NATURE CENTER, AND WAIVING THE
CONSULTANT SELECTION PROCESS AS IMPRACTICAL
WHEREAS, the City retained The Alford Group, Inc. on November 1, 2000, after issuing
a Request for Proposals/Qualifications (RFP/RFQ) for fundraising consulting services to support
a one-year pilot program benefiting the Chula Vista Public Library and the Chula Vista Nature
Center; and
WHEREAS, The Alford Group's assistance directly resulted in $27,000 being raised for
the Library and over $150,000 for the Nature Center in Fiscal Year 2000/2001; and
WHEREAS, staff wishes to continue its positive and successful working relationship
with this firm and funds are budgeted in both departments' budgets for Fiscal Year 2001/2002
for fundraising consultant services; and
WHEREAS, staff is recommending that the City Council waive the consultant selection
process of Municipal Code Section 2.56.110 as impractical because of the selection process that
staff used to hire the firm initially and because the work being requested is essentially the same
as was contemplated in the original RFP/RFQ.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista
does hereby waive the consultant selection process as impractical and approve the consultant
services agreements with the Alford Group, Inc. to provide fundraising consultant services for
the Chula Vista Public Library and the Chula Vista Nature Center, copies of which shall be kept
on file on the Office of the City Clerk.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor of the City of Chula Vista is hereby
authorized and directed to execute said agreements on behalf of the City.
