RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA WAIVING THE BIDDING PROCESS AND APPROVING
AGREEMENT BETWEEN CITY OF CHULA VISTA AND SAN
DIEGO TRANSIT CORPORATION (SDTC) FOR FIXED ROUTE BUS
SERVICE FOR THE PERIOD JULY 1, 1998 - JUNE 30, 2000
WHEREAS, SDTC began operation of Chula Vista Transit (CVT) on July 1, 1993 under
a three year term agreement with an option for the City to extend the agreement for two
additional years, from July 1, 1996 through June 30, 1998; and
WHEREAS, the City exercised that option; therefore, the current agreement terminates
on June 30, 1998; and
WHEREAS, staff has negotiated a new agreement with SDTC for CVT operation and
fleet maintenance for two more years (July 1, 1998 through June 30, 2000) instead of
issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the following reasons:
A decision on the future CVT bus fueling system (diesel or compressed natural gas)
should be made before issuing an RFP, because the engine type and fuel source affects many
aspects of CVT system operations and maintenance.
I.Eleven (11) CVT buses (one third of the fleet) are currently scheduled for
replacement; these buses require increased maintenance due to age ( 14 years) and wheelchair
lifts which are no longer manufactured. SDTC has done an outstanding job of maintenance
on these older buses as well as the rest of the fleet. Since delivery of new buses takes one
to two years, retaining SDTC as the CVT contract operator for two more years will facilitate
continued good service delivery to CVT passengers based on SDTC's past maintenance
experience and familiarity with the fleet.
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed and considered the terms of the new
Agreement and found them to be reasonable and acceptable.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does
hereby waive the bidding process as impractical for the CVT fleet operations and maintenance
agreement in accordance with Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 2.56.070 for the reasons
set forth above.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby approve the Agreement
between the City of Chula Vista and San Diego Transit Corporation (SDTC) for Fixed Route
Bus Service for the period July 1,1998 through June 30, 2000, in the form presented, a copy
of which shall be kept on file in the office of the City Clerk as Document No. CO98-058.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor of the City of Chula Vista is hereby
authorized and directed to execute said Agreement for and on behalf of the City of Chula
Vista.
