RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA WAIVING THE CONSULTANT PROCESS AS
IMPRACTICAL AND APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH
PHILIP WILLIAMS & ASSOCIATES (PWA) FOR CONSULTING
SERVICES FOR THE SPECIALIZED STREAMBED MEANDER
DESIGN OF POGGI CREEK CHANNEL AS PART OF THE
OLYMPIC PARKWAY PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING THE
MAYOR TO EXECUTE SAID AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recently issued a 404 Permit to the City for
the construction of Olympic Parkway within the existing Poggi Creek; and
WHEREAS, one of the conditions of granting this permit was for the City to hire an
independent consultant having expertise in stream restoration and enhancement to create an
acceptable channel design resulting in a meandering low-flow channel which functions more like a
natural stream; and
WHEREAS, the 404 Permit conditions further require that the stream meander plan be
prepared within a very expedited time frame for submittal to the Corps; and
WHEREAS, failure to meet the submittal schedule included in the permit will result in
significant penalties to the City including the possible revocation and modification of the permit; and
WHEREAS, staff believes that the firm of PWA is best qualified to perform the services
needed for this project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does
hereby waive the consultant process as impractical for the following reasons:
1. The time needed for the formal selection process for the hiring of consultants will not
allow the City to meet the time frames required for design submittal as specified by
the 404 Permit for Olympic Parkway.
2. PWA has demonstrated the ability to provide the highly specialized services in the
type of third party hydrology, hydraulics, and geomorphic review and stream
enhancement as is required to fulfill the requirements of the 404 permit for Olympic
Parkway.
3. PWA is experienced and staffed such that they can prepare and deliver the required
services to meet the time frames required to comply with the 404 Permit.
4. PWA has considerable experience in working with the same agencies and agency staff
personnel that will be reviewing and approving the Poggi Creek channel design.
5. The reviewing agencies indicated that PWA will provide the desired level of
independent analysis which they were seeking in the third party review and stream
enhancement design for the Poggi Creek channel.
