RESOLUTION OF THE CiTY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA WAIVING THE FORMAL BIDDING PROCESS AS
IMPRACTICAL AND AWARDING PURCHASE AGREEMENT TO
BLUE SKY REMEDIATION SERVICES, INC. FOR TV INSPECTION
OF STORM DRAINS
WHEREAS, the heavy rains during last winter accelerated the failure of three
Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP) storm drains at Malta Avenue, Oleander Avenue and Corte Maria
Avenue; and
WHEREAS, since the City has approximately 110,000 lineal feet of CMP storm drains
15 years or older, the FY 98-99 budget contains $85,000 for immediate contractor inspector
of these storm drains; and
WHEREAS, Section 2.56.070 of the Municipal Code requires that formal bids be
obtained for purchases in excess of $25,000 unless Council finds that obtaining bids is
impractical; and
WHEREAS, the formal bidding process requires more time than obtaining informal bids
and since staff believes that the inspection of the storm drains needs to be done as soon .as
possible to identify and repair serious problems to protect the health and safety of Chula Vista
residents, it is impractical to take the time to go through the formal bidding process; and
WHEREAS, to ensure that the City received the lowest price pgssible under the
circumstances, staff followed the formal bidding process with the exception of normal
advertising; and
WHEREAS, staff prepared specifications for the inspection and forwarded them to the
four inspection firms in the region that use the same inspection software as the City; and
WHEREAS, a pre-bid conference was held on July 13, 1998 with sealed bids opened
on July 21, 1998 and Blue Sky Remediation Services responded with the lowest bid @ $0.72
per lineal foot for a total contract cost of $79,200 for 110,000 lineal feet·
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does
hereby waive the formal bidding process as impractical and awarding Purchase Agreement to
Blue Sky Remediation Services, Inc. for the TV inspection of storm drains for a total contract
cost of $79,200 for 110,000 lineal feet.
