RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA APPROVING A CHANGE ORDER TO THE
CONTRACT WITH TRI-GROUP CONSTRUCTION, INC. FOR
THE "ALPINE AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS FROM EMERSON
STREET TO OXFORD STREET (STL379) AND TWIN OAKS
AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS FROM EMERSON STREET TO
OXFORD STREET (STL386)" PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF
$98,726 TO PERFORM ADDITIONAL ELIGIBLE WORK IN
THE CASTLE PARK NEIGHBORHOOD AREA UNDER THE
SECTION 108 LOAN PROGRAM; REDUCING THE STL380
BUDGET BY $41,593 AND THE STL385 BUDGET BY $53,000
AND APPROPRIATING THE EQUIVALENT AMOUNT TO
STL379
WHEREAS, in 2006, the City received approval for a Federal Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD) Section 108 Loan to install public street improvements in the
Castle Park neighborhood area; and
WHEREAS, the Section 108 Loan funds must be expended by June 2013 or the balance
returned to HUD; and
WHEREAS, the last and final street improvement projects are currently underway within
Alpine and Twin Oaks Avenues, between Emerson and Oxford Streets (STL379 & STL386),
under a contract awarded to Tri-Group Construction, Ina (Tri-Group) by Resolution No. 2012-
196; and
WHEREAS, staff estimates that, upon completion of this contract work by Tri-Group and
financial closure of CIP Projects STL380 and STL385, approximately $100,000 in HUD Section
108 Loan funds will remain unexpended; and
WHEREAS, staff developed a list of eligible improvement work within the Castle Park
Neighborhood azea to expend these funds and received a quote of $98,726 from Tri-Group to
complete this work as a change order to their contract. This change order requires City Council
approval; and
WHEREAS, a change order with Tri-Group for additional work, as opposed to a new
contract for work, is necessary and appropriate because (1) Tri-Group is already working in the
azea on similar work which creates economies and efficiencies in construction staging, and
reduces the cost to the City for such work; and (2) the time required for a new contract process
would put the available 108 loan program funding for the project in serious jeopazdy.
