WHEREAS, at the July 10, 2001, joint meeting of the City Council/Redevelopment
Agency, staff was authorized to begin condemnation proceedings for the property located at 362-
398 "F" Street for the construction of the City's new Police Headquarters; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Chula Vista Municipal Code §2.57.030, the City Manager must
certify the sole source status of the Design Builder and the City Manager does so certify based
upon the following:
1. Highland Partnership, Inc. ("HPI") and its team has specialized knowledge based on its
preparation of the Police Department Master Plan, programming, and schematic design and has
demonstrated expertise in this field with the design and construction of other public safety
facilities.
2. Reference checks done as part of the original selection process for the CMC list resulted
in favorable reports regarding the work completed by HPI.
3. Time is of the essence regarding the completion of this facility. Space is a premium
commodity in the existing Police Department building and an additional 60,000 sq. ft. is needed
just to meet existing space needs.
4. HPI and its team have significant history regarding the space, programming, and
development needs required for the new Police Headquarters. To require an RFP for the new
phase of development would be a waste of this expertise.
5. The proposed sole source agreement is consistent with the intent of the priority list
established as a result of the RFQ process as approved by the City Council and from which HPI
was originally selected.
WHEREAS, staff recommends the award of an agreement with Highland Partnership,
Inc.; and
WHEREAS, staff is directed to return with a long-term financing plan for approval; and
WHEREAS, an appropriation of funds is needed to cover project costs until long-term
financing is obtained.
