Dear Fellow Board Members,
Please accept this letter of resignation, as of March 8, 2014.
1 have been fighting a battle with the pain of an inflammatory disease for several
months now, and unfortunately, I have yet to conquer it. I had hoped to continue
my responsibilities on the Board, but I realize that I just can't handle it. This has
been a difficult decision, and I seriously regret its necessity.
Thanks for always meeting in an atmosphere of collaboration and respect, as we
strove to provide exemplary library service to the people of Chula Vista. My
thoughts remain with you as you continue in this quest.
With warm regards,
Jeannie Barnes

File #: 14-0079, Version: 1
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING A CITY
COUNCIL POLICY FOR PUBLIC REVIEW OF CITY COUNCIL AND CITIZEN-SPONSORED
INITIATIVES, INCLUDING FISCAL ANALYSIS, AND CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION REVIEW
FOR CHARTER-RELATED PROPOSALS
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
In June 2012, the City Council requested that staff draft a policy for the initiation of ballot measures,
with the policy to include procedures for conducting a fiscal analysis and a review by the Charter
Review Commission. Staff has drafted a proposed policy. That policy is now being presented for
Council consideration.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a "Project"as
defined under Section 15378(b)(5) of the State CEQA Guidelines because it involves only adoption of
a City Council policy regarding initiation of ballot measures and therefore is an organizational or
administrative activity of government that will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the
environmental; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity
is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary.
Environmental review is not necessary for this policy, but a separate CEQA analysis would be
required if the City Council initiates a ballot measure, prior to Council decision regarding placing the
measure on the ballot.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Charter Review Commission was presented with the draft policy on December 11 , 2013. The
Commission voted 6-0 (with one member absent) to approve the draft policy, with the following
modifications: (i) expand the policy to include citizens' initiatives; and (ii) revise the policy to provide
that the fiscal analysis be conducted prior to the Commission's review of the initiative. The draft
policy being presented to the City Council reflects those modifications.
DISCUSSION
I. Introduction
This draft "Policy on Processing Initiatives" is presented in response to a City Council request
that the City Attorney prepare a policy governing the procedures for the initiation of ballot measures.
In response to input from the Charter Review Commission, the draft Policy also includes procedures
for processing citizens' initiatives. The Policy sets forth the process that should be followed for
City of Chula Vista Page 1 of 6 Printed on 3/20/2014
powered by Leg
2014-03-25 Agenda Packet Page 29
File #: 14-0079, Version: 1
initiation, review and analysis of initiatives. The process includes a fiscal analysis of each initiative by
the City's Finance staff, and review by the Charter Review Commission of those initiatives that relate
to the City Charter.
II. Background
The current City practice for general matters presented for City Council consideration is to
include analysis of the fiscal impacts of the action, both for the fiscal year in which the matter is
considered, and for subsequent fiscal years. Initiatives proposing to amend the City Charter must be
submitted to the voters for approval, whether the initiated by the City Council or by citizens' petition.
With respect to qualifying citizens' initiatives that do not propose to amend the Charter, the City
Council has discretion to adopt the proposed ordinance, or submit it to the voters. There are costs
associated with placing an initiative on a ballot and significant additional costs for calling an election,
if necessary, to consider the initiative. In addition, there may be costs associated with implementing
the initiative. The Policy is intended to implement a process which will inform the City Council of the
potential fiscal impacts and, when appropriate, the Charter implications, prior to acting on a proposed
initiative.
The City's Charter Review Commission is an advisory body which serves as a resource to
advise and make recommendations to the City Council and the City Manager on issues affecting the
provisions of the City Charter. The Commission's responsibilities include, identifying language to
amend the City Charter to clarify or improve the workings of the City government, and recommending
changes sufficiently in advance of elections to allow thoughtful City Council review and determination
of whether to place the matter on the ballot. In addition, the Commission's functions and duties
include:
A. Constitute a forum for City-wide discussions, research and analysis of matters relating
to current or proposed provisions of the City Charter, and amendments thereto.
B. Help coordinate citizen and staff ideas with regard to potential Charter changes.
C. Prepare and submit proposed ballot arguments in favor of or against proposed Charter
changes.
In accordance with the above, the proposed Policy would implement a process by which the Charter
Review Commission would consider and make recommendations to the City Council on proposed
initiatives impacting or relating to the Charter, prior to City Council action on the proposed initiative.
III. City Council Initiatives
The California Elections Code authorizes the City Council to submit a proposition to the voters
for approval on its own initiative. A City Council initiative does not require a citizens' petition. City
Council initiatives that propose to amend the Charter must be submitted to voters at either an
established statewide general election, or a regularly scheduled general municipal election,
depending on the nature of the proposed amendment. City Council initiatives to enact, amend or
repeal an ordinance can be submitted to the voters at a special or general election. In each case,
there must be at least 88 days between the date the City Council orders the measure to be placed on
the ballot, and the election.
IV. Citizens' Initiatives
City of Chula Vista Page 2 of 6 Printed on 3/20/2014
2014-03-25 Agenda Packet Page 30
File #: 14-0079, Version: 1
Citizens may propose an ordinance by submission of an initiative petition to the City Council.
Before circulating an initiative petition, the proponents must file with the City Clerk, a notice of
intention to do so, accompanied by the written text of the initiative. The City Council may refer the
proposed initiative measure for a report on various enumerated matters, including its fiscal impact,
and "[a]ny other matters the legislative body requests to be in the report." If the City Council refers it
for a report, the report must be presented to the City Council no later than 30 days after the City
Clerk certifies the sufficiency of the petition to the City Council. The City Council then must either
adopt the measure without change, or submit it to the voters.
Qualifying citizens' initiatives that propose to amend the Charter, must be submitted to the
voters at the next regularly scheduled general municipal election, or at any established statewide
general or statewide primary election, occurring not less than 88 days after the date of the order of
election. Accordingly, unlike other citizens' initiatives, the City Council does not have the discretion
to adopt the initiative, rather than submit it to the voters.
V. The Policy
The draft Policy is provided as Attachment 1 to this Agenda Statement. To summarize, the
Policy sets forth procedures by which the City Council will refer initiatives to the City Manager and
City Attorney for preparation of a fiscal analysis and for the recommendation of the Charter Review
Commission, when the proposed measure relates to the Charter. The procedures allow 45 days for
preparation of the fiscal analysis and consideration by the Charter Review Commission, and vary
slightly between City Council initiatives, citizens' initiatives, and citizens' initiatives to amend the City
charter, in order to ensure compliance with the applicable statutory scheme. The specific procedures
are set forth below, they are identical to those contained in the policy, but are provided here as well,
for the Council's convenience:
A. City Council Initiatives
California Elections Code section 9222 authorizes the City Council to submit a proposition to
the voters for approval, on its own initiative, without a citizens' petition. City Council initiatives that
propose to amend the Charter must be submitted to voters at an established statewide general
election, primary, or regularly scheduled general municipal election, depending on the nature of the
proposed amendment. There must be at least 88 days after the date the City Council orders the
election on the initiative.
If the City Council, or any of its members, desires to propose an initiative for potential ballot
placement, the City shall comply with the following procedures:
1. One or more members of the City Council shall, during a City Council meeting,
introduce and describe the proposed initiative.
2. During the meeting at which the initiative is introduced, the City Council shall refer the
proposed initiative to the City Manager for preparation of a fiscal analysis of the
measure. If the proposed initiative proposes to amend, or otherwise relates to , the
Charter, the City Council shall also refer the proposed initiative to the City Attorney for
presentation to, and recommendation of, the Charter Review Commission.
a. Fiscal Analysis.
City of Chula Vista Page 3 of 6 Printed on 3/20/2014
2014-03-25 Agenda Packet Page 31
File #: 14-0079, Version: 1
i. The City Manager shall be responsible for ensuring that the City's
Finance Director reviews the proposed initiative for fiscal impacts.
The Finance Director shall prepare a written analysis, detailing the
potential fiscal impacts of the measure.
ii. The Finance Director shall utilize the information and resources
available to conduct the fiscal analysis, within fourteen days of the
date the initiative is referred to the City Manager. In addition to
reporting back to the City Council, the Finance Director shall provide
the fiscal analysis to the City Manager and City Attorney.
b. Charter Review Commission Recommendation
i. If the initiative was referred for the recommendation of the Charter
Review Commission, the City Attorney shall ensure that the
proposed initiative, along with the fiscal analysis, is reviewed by the
Charter Review Commission. The City Attorney shall present the
proposed initiative to the Charter Review Commission within ten
days of receiving the Finance Director's fiscal analysis.
ii. After consideration of the proposed initiative and fiscal analysis, the
Charter Review Commission shall provide a report to the City
Council, detailing its recommendations as to how the City Council
should proceed with respect to the initiative. The report may be
provided to the City Council in writing, orally during a City Council
meeting, or via the City Attorney, along with the minutes of the
Charter Review Commission meeting. The Commission's report shall
be advisory only, and shall not be binding on the City Council.
3. The fiscal analysis and the Charter Review Commission's recommendation shall be
presented to the City Council within forty-five days of the date the proposed initiative
was referred to the City Manager and City Attorney.
4. If the fiscal analysis or report is not presented within forty-five days, the City Manager
and City Attorney shall report back to the City Council regarding the status of the fiscal
analysis or the recommendation, and the reasons it has not been presented to the City
Council. The City Council shall then determine how it will proceed with respect to the
proposed initiative.
5. In order to comply with the above procedures, an initiative proposed by the City
Council, or any City Council member, should be presented for Council consideration no
later than 180 days prior to the election for which it is proposed to be placed on the
ballot.
B. Citizens' Initiatives - Non- Charter Amendments
If an initiative petition is submitted, the City shall comply with the following procedures:
1 . If the City Clerk determines that a proposed citizens' initiative has met the publication and/or
City of Chula Vista Page 4 of 6 Printed on 3/20/2014
powered by Leg
2014-03-25 Agenda Packet Page 32
File #: 14-0079, Version: 1
posting requirements of California Elections Code section 9205, the City Clerk shall notify
the City Council of the proposed measure at the next City Council meeting at which the item
can be sufficiently noticed.
2. The City Council shall then refer the proposed initiative to the City Manager and the City
Attorney, pursuant to section A.2.4., above. The City Council may expand the scope of the
report and/or the time allotted, in accordance with applicable law.
3. Notwithstanding the above, the City shall comply with applicable law, including California
Elections Code sections 9200, et seq., in processing citizens' initiatives.
C. Citizens' Initiatives - Charter Amendments
An initiative petition that proposes to amend or repeal a charter and is proposed by a petition
signed by 15 percent of the registered voters of a city, must be submitted to the voters at the
next regularly scheduled general municipal election, or at any established statewide general
or statewide primary election, occurring not less than 88 days after the date of the order of
election. Accordingly, unlike other initiatives, the City Council does not have the discretion to
adopt the initiative, rather than submit it to the voters.
Notwithstanding the above, if an initiative petition proposing to amend the City's charter is
submitted, the City shall comply with the following procedures:
1. If the City Clerk determines that a proposed citizens' initiative to amend the City's charter
has met the requirements of California Elections Code sections 9256, et seq. , the City Clerk
shall notify the City Council of the proposed measure at the next City Council meeting at
which the item can be sufficiently noticed.
2. If time permits, the City Council shall then refer the proposed initiative to the City Manager
and the City Attorney for preparation of a report, pursuant to section A.2.4., above.
3. Notwithstanding the above, the City shall comply in all respects with California law, including
Elections Code sections 1415, and 9255, et seq. , in processing initiative petitions to amend
or repeal the Charter.
The proposed Policy is intended to provide a mechanism to ensure that a fiscal analysis is completed
for each proposed ballot measure and that Charter Review Commission review is conducted for each
initiative that proposes to amend, or otherwise relates to, the City's charter. This process is intended
to allow for public vetting of proposed ballot measures, whether initiated by the City Council or by
citizens' initiative, and to allow the City Council to consider this information prior to making any
decision on the measure.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site
specific and consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations section 18704.2
(a)(1), is not applicable to this decision. Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed
by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker
conflict of interest in this matter.

LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City's Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. Adoption of this policy
would support the Operational Excellence goal by bolstering the City's commitment to fiscal health by
requiring fiscal analysis of each ballot initiative. It would also support the Connected Community goal
by involving the community, through the Charter Review Commission's review and analysis of
proposed initiatives.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of adoption of this policy cannot be determined at this time. The fiscal impact will
vary depending on the complexity of the proposed initiative. For example, if the proposed initiative is
fairly routine, staff should be able to complete review and fiscal analysis within the prescribed time
with no additional resources. However, for more complex initiatives, consultant services may be
required to determine the fiscal impact of the proposed initiative.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of adoption of this policy cannot be determined at this time. The fiscal impact will
vary depending on the complexity of the proposed initiative. For example, if the proposed initiative is
fairly routine, staff should be able to complete review and fiscal analysis within the prescribed time
with no additional resources. However, for more complex initiatives, consultant services may be
required to determine the fiscal impact of the proposed initiative.

LBACKGROUND
A. Introduction
This Policy was prepared in response to a City Council request that the City Attorney prepare
a policy for initiation of ballot measures, including a requirement for fiscal analysis and involvement
of Charter Review Commission. This Policy sets forth the process that should be followed for
initiation, review and analysis of initiatives. Initiatives can be initiated by City Council members, or
by citizens' petition. California Elections Code and California Government Code govern initiatives.
There are differing statutory schemes relative to: (i) City Council initiatives; (ii) citizens' initiatives
that would amend a city charter; and (iii) all other citizens' initiatives. Accordingly, this Policy
addresses each of these types of initiatives.
B. Fiscal Analysis
The current City practice for general matters presented for City Council consideration is to
include analysis of the fiscal impacts of the action, both for the fiscal year in which the matter is
considered, and for subsequent fiscal years. City Council initiatives and citizens' initiatives to amend
the charter, and other citizens' initiatives which the City Council determines not to adopt, require
submission to the voters in either general or special elections. There are costs associated with placing
an initiative on a ballot and significant additional costs for calling a special election, if necessary, to
consider the initiative. In addition, there may be costs associated with implementing the initiative if it
is adopted by the electorate. As a result, the City Council has determined that initiatives should be
analyzed by City Finance staff to determine the potential fiscal impacts, and that analysis should be
presented to the City Council,before the City Council determines whether to place an initiative on the
ballot.
C. Charter Review Commission Review
The City's Charter Review Commission is an advisory body which serves as a resource to
advise and make recommendations to the City Council and the City Manager on issues affecting the
provisions of the City Charter. The Commission's responsibilities include: (i) identifying language to
amend the City Charter to clarify or improve the workings of the City government; and (ii)

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AMENDING CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE
SECTION 2.25.110(C) RELATED TO EXCUSED ABSENCES FOR MEMBERS OF CITY BOARDS
AND COMMISSIONS DUE TO UNEXPECTED, EMERGENCY SITUATIONS (FIRST READING)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council place the ordinance on first reading.
SUMMARY
The proposed ordinance expands the reasons for which a board or commission member's absence
may be considered excused by a majority vote of the respective board or commission to allow for
unexpected, emergency situations that prohibit the member's attendance.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a "Project"as
defined under Section 15378(b)(5) of the State CEQA Guidelines because it involves only a change
related to Excused Absences for City Boards and Commission members due to unexpected,
emergency situations and therefore is an organizational or administrative activity of government that
will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environmental; therefore, pursuant to
Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no
environmental review is necessary.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
City Charter section 602 states that, if a board or commission member is absent from three
consecutive, regular meetings, the office shall become vacant and the vacancy shall be declared by
the City Council, unless his or her absence is excused by a majority vote of the other members of the
board or commission.
Currently, pursuant to Chula Vista Municipal Code section 2.25.110.C., board and commission
members, by a majority vote, may excuse a fellow board or commission member's absence from
meetings for any of the following reasons:
1 . Illness of the member, family member of the member, or personal friend of the member;
2. Business commitment of the member that interferes with the attendance of the member at a
meeting;
3. Previously scheduled vacation of the member, notice of which was provided to the respective
board or commission in advance of the meeting;
4. Attendance of the member at a funeral, religious service or ceremony, wedding, or other
similarly significant event, or
City of Chula Vista Page 1 of 2 Printed on 3/20/2014
powered by Leg
2014-03-25 Agenda Packet Page 42
File #: 14-0124, Version: 1
5. Other reason for which the member has given notice to the chair or secretary of his or her
unavailability 15 days in advance, as long as the unavailability is not expected to last for
longer than 30 days.
Requests for excused absences are added to the agenda of the respective board or commission and
the resulting vote is reflected in the minutes of the meeting.
The current reasons that permit an absence to be excused do not allow for an unexpected,
emergency situation that prohibits the member's attendance, such as a car breaking down or another
unforeseeable situation not already listed. Staff recommends allowing this type of absence to be
considered as a reason for an excused absence. Accordingly, staff recommends that section
2.25.110.C. to add the following:
"5. Unexpected, emergency situation that prohibits the member's attendance."
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site
specific and consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations section 18704.2
(a)(1), is not applicable to this decision. Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed
by any City Councilmember, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict
of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City's Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. Citywide Strategy 5.1 ,
"Encourage residents to engage in civic activities," is a key component to fostering a connected
community. The City strongly values the contributions of its volunteer board and commission
members. Allowing additional feasible flexibility in serving on City boards and commissions furthers
the City's commitment to fostering an engaged community.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of the proposed ordinance will have no impact on the general fund.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA ACCEPTING BIDS,
AWARDING THE CONTRACT FOR THE "EAST ORANGE AVENUE BIKE LANE IMPROVEMENTS
BETWEEN MAX AVENUE AND MELROSE AVENUE IN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA (CIP#
STM377)" PROJECT TO PALM ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC . , IN THE
AMOUNT OF $173,977.05, WAIVING CITY COUNCIL POLICY 574-01 , AND AUTHORIZING THE
EXPENDITURE OF ALL AVAILABLE CONTINGENCY FUNDS IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED
$30,000
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
On February 12, 2014, the Director of Public Works received nine (9) sealed bids for the "East
Orange Avenue Bike Lane Improvements between Max Avenue and Melrose Avenue in the City of
Chula Vista (STM377)" project. The project is included in the Capital Improvement Program Fiscal
Year 2013/2014. The proposed resolution, if approved, would accept bids, award the contract for this
project to the low bidder Palm Engineering Construction Company, Inc. in the amount of
$173,977.05, waive City Council Policy 574-01 , and authorize the expenditure of all available
contingency funds in an amount not to exceed $30,000.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity qualifies for a
Class 4 (h) categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15304 [Minor Alterations to Land] of the State
CEQA Guidelines, because the activity consists of the creation of a bike lane on an existing street
right-of-way and ancillary work. Thus, no further environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not Applicable
DISCUSSION
The project will narrow the existing raised median along East Orange Avenue which will provide a
wider traveled way for the addition of a westbound bicycle lane. The scope of this project also
includes the relocation of existing street lighting, landscape irrigation, signage, and pavement striping
and markings. The goal of this CIP project is to provide a missing segment of Class 2 Bike Lanes
along East Orange Avenue as indicated in the City's Bicycle Master Plan. The City applied for and
received a Bicycle Transportation Account (BTA) Grant from the State of California to cover the
construction costs of this project.

On February 12, 2014, the Director of Public Works received nine 9 bids as follows:
CONTRACTOR BID
1 Palm Engineering Construction Co., Inc. - San Diego, CA $173,977.05
2 A.B. Hashmi, Inc. - San Diego, CA $182,983.00
3 Just Construction, Inc. - San Diego, CA $188,369.00
4 Tri-Group Construction & Development - San Diego, CA $193,955.00
5 PAL General Engineering, Inc. - San Diego, CA $225,300.00
6 New Century Construction, Inc. - Lakeside, CA $239,715.00
7 Falcon Construction Co. - San Diego, CA $242,655.00
8 Ramona Paving and Construction Co. - Ramona, CA $248,569.50
9 Visionary Construction and Consulting Company - Escondido, CA $314,881.00
The low bid submitted by Palm Engineering Construction Company, Inc. is below the Engineer's
estimate of $261,710 by $87,732.95 (approximately 33.5%). Palm Engineering Construction
Company, Inc. has performed similar work in the City with satisfactory performance. Palm
Engineering Construction Company, Inc. is a licensed General Engineering Contractor (Class A) with
a current and active License No. 853930.
The proposed resolution would also authorize the Director of Public Works to approve change orders
over and above existing policy limits. Under City Council Policy No. 574-01, if an individual change
order causes the cumulative increase in change orders to exceed the Director's authority ("Maximum
Aggregate Increase in Change Orders"), then City Council approval is required. The corresponding
maximum aggregate contract increase that may be approved by the Director of Public Works under
Policy No. 574-01 is $15,178. Approval of the resolution would increase the Director of Public
Works' authority to approve change orders, as necessary, up to the contingency amount of $30,000,
an increase of $14,822 over Policy No. 574-01. Increasing the contingency funds will allow staff to
continue the project without delay should unforeseen circumstances resulting in increased project
costs arise during the course of construction, as well as make adjustments to bid item quantities.
Unforeseen conditions include such items as utility conflicts, hazardous materials, unexpected
underground conflicts, etc. If the contingency funds are not used, then they will be returned to the
project fund balance.
Staff reviewed the lowest bid submitted by Palm Engineering Construction Company, Inc. and
determined that the bid package is complete, with no errors or omissions. Therefore, staff
recommends awarding a construction contract to Palm Engineering Construction Company, Inc. in
the amount of$173,977.05.
Wage Statement
The Contractor that is awarded the contract and its subcontractors are required to pay prevailing
wages to persons employed by them for work under this contract.
Disclosure Statement

DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings
within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Staff is not
independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that
may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City's Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. The East Orange
Avenue Bike Lane Improvements project supports the Healthy Community goal by providing
additional bicycle facilities to encourage bicycle ridership in the surrounding area as an alternative
mode of transportation. The project also supports the Strong & Secure Neighborhoods goal as it will
improve bicycle safety on this major segment of the City's bicycle network by providing a defined bike
lane adjacent to and separate from the motorized traffic. Completing the Class 2 bicycle network
along this roadway creates an appealing community amenity for the residents.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient Bicycle Transportation Account grant and TransNet funds are available in CIP Project No.
STM377 to complete the project. There is no additional impact to both funds; sufficient funding is
available in the Bicycle Transportation Account Grant Fund and TransNet Fund to cover the capital
costs associated with this project. There is no direct impact to the General Fund. The table below
summarizes the project construction costs.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA ACCEPTING BIDS,
AWARDING THE CONTRACT FOR THE "INDUSTRIAL BOULEVARD SEWER IMPROVEMENT
PROJECT FROM MAIN STREET TO ANITA STREET IN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA,
CALIFORNIA (CIP# SW263)" TO GRFCO INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $674,500 WAIVING CITY
COUNCIL POLICY 574-01 , AND AUTHORIZING THE EXPENDITURE OF ALL AVAILABLE
CONTINGENCY FUNDS IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $101 ,175.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
On February 19, 2014, the Director of Public Works received five (5) sealed bids for the "Industrial
Boulevard Sewer Improvement Project, between Main Street and Anita Street (SW263)". The project
scope consists of the removal and replacement of existing sewer pipe and sewer manholes, and
other miscellaneous work to complete the improvements. The proposed resolution, if approved,
would accept the bids, award the contract to GRFO Inc. in the amount of $674,500, waive City
Council Policy 574-01 , and authorize the expenditure of all available contingency funds in an amount
not to exceed $101 ,175.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the project qualifies for a Class
1(b) categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the State CEQA
Guidelines, because the project, which consists of replacing an existing undersized 12-inch sewer
line with an 18-inch sewer line, is being constructed solely to rectify certain operational and functional
issues associated with existing flows, rather than to accommodate new or increased flows. As there
will be no expansion of use, no further environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not Applicable.
DISCUSSION
The Industrial Boulevard Sewer Improvement project involves the removal and replacement of
approximately 1 ,300 lineal feet of sewer pipes, sewer laterals connections, and removal and
replacement of existing sewer manholes. The project will divert sewer flows from Industrial Boulevard
directly into the Salt Creek Interceptor.
On February 19, 2014, the Director of Public Works received five (5) seal bids. The following bids
were received:

File #: 14-0112, Version: 1
Contractor Bid Amount
1. GRFCO Inc. - Moreno Valley, CA $674,500.00
2. PALM Engineering - San Diego, CA $687,050.00
3. WIER Construction - Escondido, CA $784,470.00
4. Burtech Pipeline - Encinitas, CA $809,875.00
5. MODE Engineering- Laguna Niguel, CA $971,500.00
The low bid submitted by GRFCO Inc. is below the Engineer's estimate of $770,000 by $95,500, or
approximately 12%. This difference can likely be attributed to the high degree of competition within
the current construction market. GFRCO Inc. has satisfactorily completed projects for other Cities of
a similar nature. GRFCO Inc. Contractor's License No. 291013 is current and active.
The proposed resolution would also authorize the Director of Public Works to approve change orders
over and above existing policy limits. Under City Council Policy No. 574-01, when an individual
change order causes the cumulative increase in change orders to exceed the Director's authority
("Maximum Aggregate Increase in Change Orders"), City Council approval is required. For this
project the corresponding maximum aggregate contract increase that may be approved by the
Director of Public Works under Policy No. 574-01 is $50,215. Approval of tonight's resolution would
increase the Director of Public Works' authority to approve change orders, as necessary, up to the
contingency amount of $101,175, an increase of $50,960 over Policy No. 574-01. Increasing the
contingency funds will allow staff to continue the project without delay should unforeseen
circumstances resulting in increased project costs arise during the course of construction, as well as
make adjustments to bid item quantities. Unforeseen conditions include such items as utility
conflicts, hazardous materials, unexpected underground conflicts, etc. If the contingency funds are
not used, then they will be returned to the project fund balance.
Staff reviewed the lowest bid submitted by GRFCO Inc. and determined that the bid package is
complete, with no errors or omissions. Therefore, staff recommends awarding a construction
contract to GRFCO Inc. in the amount of$674,500.
Disclosure Statement
Attached is a copy of the contractor's Disclosure Statement as Attachment 1.
Wage Statement
The source of funding for this project is Sewer Facility Replacement Fee Fund. Contractors bidding
this project are not required to pay prevailing wages to persons employed by them for the work under
this project. Disadvantaged businesses were encouraged to bid by sending "Notice to Contractors"
to various trade publications.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings
within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Staff is not
independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that

2014-03-25 Agenda Packet Page 55
File #: 14-0112, Version: 1
may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City's Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. The Sewer
Improvement along Industrial Boulevard between Main Street and Anita Street project support the
Strong & Secure Neighborhood goal as it will ensure a sustainable and well maintain wastewater
infrastructure by improving existing sewer capacity and help insure the wastewater facilities meets
the need of the public.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient Sewer Facility Replacement Funds are available in CIP Project No. SW263 to complete the
project. There is no additional impact to the Sewer Facility Replacement Fund as sufficient funding is
available to cover the capital costs associated with this project. There is no direct impact to the

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA ESTABLISHING A 45 MPH
SPEED LIMIT ON SAN MIGUEL RANCH ROAD BETWEEN PROCTOR VALLEY ROAD AND SR-
125 AND REVISING SCHEDULE X OF THE REGISTER MAINTAINED IN THE OFFICE OF THE
CITY ENGINEER TO INCLUDE THIS ESTABLISHED SPEED LIMIT (FIRST READING) (4/5 VOTE
REQUIRED)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council place ordinance on first reading.
SUMMARY
Staff completed an Engineering and Traffic Survey for a segment of San Miguel Ranch Road in
accordance with the California Vehicle Code, which indicates that the posting of speed limits be
determined by an Engineering and Traffic Survey for each street with a posted speed limit within the
City. Based on the results of this speed survey, staff has determined that a 45 mph speed limit be
established on San Miguel Ranch Road, between Proctor Valley Road and SR-125.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the project qualifies for a Class
1 (c) categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15301 [Existing Facilities] of the State CEQA
Guidelines because the proposed project consists of increasing the posted speed limit on an existing
street resulting in negligible or no expansion of the street use. Thus, no further environmental review
is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Safety Commission, at their meeting on February 5, 2014, voted to concur with staff's
recommendations to establish a 45 mph speed limit on San Miguel Ranch Road, between Proctor
Valley Road and SR-125.
DISCUSSION
As part of the initial roadway construction project for San Miguel Ranch Road, between Proctor
Valley Road and SR-125, 35 mph speed limit signs and legends were installed (see Attachment 1 ,
Location Plat). Now that the roadway has been accepted by the City of Chula Vista, it is necessary to
establish the speed limit. Speed zones are established on the basis of an "Engineering and Traffic
Survey" and adoption of City Council Ordinance. The survey includes an analysis of the current
speed distribution of free-flowing vehicles without any impacts from roadside, nearby development
and/or construction.
Engineering and Traffic Survey
City staff completed speed surveys on San Miguel Ranch Road, between Proctor Valley Road and
City of Chula Vista Page 1 of 4 Printed on 3/20/2014

SR-125 in accordance with the California Vehicle Code which indicates that the posting of speed
limits be determined by an Engineering and Traffic Survey (see Attachment 2). As described in the
California Vehicle Code, the survey shall include:
(1) Prevailing speeds as determined by traffic engineering measurements;
(2) Accident records;
(3) Traffic/roadside conditions not readily apparent to the driver.
These roadway characteristics are then used to help determine an appropriate speed limit. The
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) states that the speed limit shall be established
at the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85 th percentile speed. Speed limits established on the basis of
the 85 th percentile speed conform to the consensus of those who drive the street as to what speed is
reasonable and safe, and are not dependent on the judgment of one or a few individuals. Speed
limits posted higher than the 85 th percentile speed are not generally considered reasonable and safe
while speed limits posted below the 85 th percentile typically do not facilitate the orderly movement of
traffic. When roadside development results in excessive traffic conflicts or unusual conditions exist
that are not apparent to drivers, the 85 th percentile speed limit may be further reduced by 5 mph. If
the 5 mph reduction procedure is applied, the Engineering and Traffic Survey shall document in
writing the conditions and justification for the lower speed limit and be approved by a registered Civil
or Traffic Engineer.
The Engineering and Traffic Survey determined that the 85 th percentile speed on San Miguel Ranch
Road, between Proctor Valley Road and SR-125 is 44 and 47 mph. Per speed limit establishment
protocol, this was measured during the off-peak hours under normal driving conditions, as required
per the MUTCD.
Physical Conditions
San Miguel Ranch Road, between Proctor Valley Road and SR-125 is 3,853 feet (0.73 miles) long
and 74' curb-to-curb with a 10' raised median. The street is classified as a Class I Collector.
The following table describes the existing conditions along San Miguel Ranch Road:
Segment Limits: San Miguel Ranch Road, between Proctor Valley Road and
SR125.
Length/Width: 3,853 feet (0.73 miles)/74' curb to curb with a 10' raised median
Classification: Class I Collector.
ADT (Year): 7,647 (2010, Avenida Loretta - SR125).
Exist. Speed Limit:Posted 35 mph on San Miguel Ranch Road, between Proctor
Valley Road and SR-125, but without the required "Engineering
and Traffic Survey" and adoption of City Ordinance.
85th% Speed: 47 mph between Avenida Altamira and Avenida Loretta, and 44
mph between Avenida Loretta and SR125.
Number of Lanes: 4 total lanes (2 per direction) between Proctor Valley Road and
SR125 and left turn lane pockets.
Striping: 4 lanes, left-turn pockets, right-turn pocket, crosswalks, limit lines

and bike lanes.
Parking and Bike No Parking allowed. Bike lanes are located along the entire
Facilities: segment in both directions.
Land Use: Residential with no direct driveway access or frontage.
Horizontal Alignment: A horizontal curve is located west of the SR125 ramps with a
radius of 1100' over a length of 416' along the centerline with a
design speed of 60 mph.
Vertical Alignment: A crest vertical curve, located between Avenida Loretta and the
SR125 with an +8.00% to a 2.25% grade change over 600'
produces a design speed of 47 mph.
Accident Rate: The accident rate at this segment is 0.33 (accidents per million
vehicle miles) and is lower than the rate of 1 .53 for similar
roadways in the State of California (2010).
Special Conditions: Bike lanes exist on both sides of San Miguel Ranch Road. SR125
on and off ramps located at the easterly end of the segment.
CONCLUSION:
When speed limits are appropriately established (set at the 5 mph increment of speed in the upper
half of the normal pace of traffic (85th percentile)) the following objectives are achieved:
- Meaningful, unambiguous enforcement
- Voluntary public compliance
- Clear identification of the unreasonable violator
- Elimination of unjustifiable "tolerances" of higher speed travel
Based on the 85 th percentile speed of the roadway, as well as low collision rate and other roadway
characteristics outlined in the Engineering/Traffic Survey, staff has determined that the 45 mph speed
limit should be established along San Miguel Ranch Road.
Should the City Council establish the proposed 45 mph speed limit, Schedule X of the register
maintained in the office of the City Engineer would be revised to show the following:
10.48.020 Schedule X - Established Speed Limits in Certain Zones - Designated
Name of Street: San Miguel Ranch Road
Beginning At: Proctor Valley Road
Ending At: SR125
Proposed Speed Limit: 45 mph
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings
within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Staff is not
independently aware, and has not been informed by any Council member, of any other fact that may
constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed speed limit modification would require the replacement and posting of new speed limit

signs and marking of new pavement speed limit legends. The cost to install these improvements is
approximately $1,500. The required work will be funded by TransNet funds associated with Capital
Improvement Project, TF-332, Signing and Striping Program. There is no additional impact to the
TransNet Fund as sufficient funding is available to cover program costs associated with this project.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact at this time. The improvements will require only routine City
maintenance.

Council adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
Funds were allocated in the approved Equipment Replacement Fund budget for fiscal year 2013-14
to replace one street pothole asphalt patch truck.
A bid solicitation was prepared by the Purchasing Department to provide the referenced vehicle in
compliance with specifications developed for that purpose. The bid was advertised electronically on
Planet Bids and was also advertised in the Star News in accordance with Purchasing Rules and
Regulations. Three vendors submitted a formal bid response. The lowest bidder, Municipal
Maintenance Equipment, Inc., was deemed non responsive. Staff recommends that the bid be
awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, San Diego Freightliner.
The capital Equipment Replacement Fund includes a budget of $143,900 for replacement of the
patch truck. The total bid price including taxes is $182,768.10. Staff recommends amending the
fiscal year 2013-14 Equipment Replacement Fund budget and appropriating $38,868 to the capital
expenses category.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) and it has been determined that the activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section
15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change in the
environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is
not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not Applicable
DISCUSSION
The approved capital Equipment Replacement Fund for fiscal year 2013-14 authorizes the
replacement of a street pothole asphalt patch truck. Technical specifications were prepared by the
Fleet Manager, working with responsible staff in the appropriate programs, in order to request bids
for the replacement patch truck. Original bid submittals are available in the Purchasing Agent's

office.
The lowest bidder, Municipal Maintenance Equipment, Inc., was deemed non responsive. The bid
does not comply with the 180 day delivery requirement and does not comply with the requirement for
a rear tail light wig-wag. The delivery date is crucial as one of the two patch trucks is currently out of
service. Any needed maintenance or repair work of the second vehicle could far outweigh the small
price differential in the bids in addition to causing downtime for the crews.
Staff recommends that the bid be awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, San Diego
Freightliner. The Purchasing Section of the Finance Department concurs in this assessment. The
bid by San Diego Freightliner is for a 2015 model truck. Staff has confirmed with the vendor that the
2015 truck is already in production and it will be able to meet the delivery schedule.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site
specific and consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations section 18704.2
(a)(1), is not applicable to this decision. Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed
by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker
conflict of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City's Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. The replacement of
the patch truck supports the Strong and Secure Neighborhoods goal as the truck will be used to
maintain public streets.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal year 2013-14 capital Equipment Replacement Fund includes a budget of $143,900 for
replacement of the patch truck. The amount for this purchase including taxes is $182,768.10, which
is a difference of $38,868.10. This action amends the fiscal year 2013-14 Equipment Replacement
Fund budget and appropriates $38,868 to the capital expenses category from the available fund
balance of$132,374.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact other than preventive maintenance as this is a replacement vehicle
and the existing vehicle will be removed from the fleet.

apparatus and other similar vehicles. Both fire engines have significant mechanical repair issues that
greatly diminish their value.

Estimate of value is roughly$10,000.

SUMMARY
The City of Chula Vista is collaborating with local agencies and volunteers to hold HarborFest in the
summer 2014. The event will promote entertainment and outdoor activities on the Chula Vista
Bayfront.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Department Director has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance
with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a
"Project" as defined under Section 15378(b)(5) of the State CEQA Guidelines because the project is
approval of City sponsorship for the Harbor Fest and approval of an application for grant funds for the
Harbor Fest, all of which are administrative activities that will not result in a direct or indirect physical
change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines
the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable
DISCUSSION

approved? Describe how your proposal will promote tourism or economic development and provide
an estimate of how many people will be served: (limit response to the space below)
1. The recently revived Chula Vista HarborFest is fast becoming one of the most exciting regional festivals in the
County, focusing a spotlight on the beautiful south bay waterfront, celebrating local maritime history and promoting
recreational and cultural activities. HarborFest 2014 will feature many engaging exhibits including interactive
programs offered by the Living Coast Discovery Center designed for kids to experience the coastal ecosystem in a
completely new light. Attendees can tour Historic Vessels courtesy of San Diego Maritime Museum and will be
offered rides on their Vietnam era Swift Boat. Family activities include fishing, displays of exotic cars and wooden
boats, a fantastic youth zone, art exhibitions, shuttles and Amphibious Seal tours provided by Old Town Trolley, and
multiple performance stages. The Youth zone and Youth Stage, features hip DJs and bands,while extreme sport
athletes perform challenging tricks and jumps in the BMX Exhibition presented by the Wheels in Motion Foundation.
The Community Stage spotlights local youth with performances of Gymnastics, Yoga, Mariachi, Ballet Folklorico,
Latin Percussion, and more. Additional activities and educational displays will be offered by organizations including
the YMCA, WildCoast, Southwestern College, Olympic Training Center, Tijuana Innovadora, biking enthusiasts, US
Power&Sail Squadrons, USCG Auxiliary, Border Patrol, CERT, Amateur Radio Club, SANDAG ]Commute,
Economic development organizations and chambers, and Public Safety. Last year's new ticketed events will be be
back including a Sustainable SeafoodFest, Baja Wine Tasting and Craft Beer Garden. Harbor Days was revived in
its original 2-day format in 2010 by the Office of Councilmember Bensoussan with participation from the San Diego
Maritime Museum and the South Bayfront Artists Association. It was produced entirely by volunteers. In 2013,
additional funding was requested from San Diego Unified Port District with assistance from City of Chula Vista and
corporate sponsors to grow the event. HarborFest became an official Chula Vista City-sponsored event redesigned
as a one-day event, promoted to a wider county-wide audience, resulting in a record-breaking attendance of over
10,000.
2. What steps is your organization taking to increase funding from other sources?
(limit response to the space below)
2. This event has the potential to greatly enhance the South Bay as a premier destination for tourists from around
the region, from across the border and from around the country. An added benefit of animating and promoting the
South San Diego Bay through HarborFest is to focus attention on an area that is poised for major redevelopment
with the Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan now approved and ready go out for RFP.
For the first time in 2013, HarborFest was professionally produced and marketed (by the local company McFarlane
Promotions) and brought out more than 10,000 people from around the County--many who had never before
discovered the Chula Vista bayfront.
Last year we received a significant grant from the San Diego Unified Port District who recognized the benefit of
increasing their support during 2013—the year they celebrated the 50th anniversary of the creation of the Unified
Port District. We also reached out to corporations and received sponsorships from SeaWorid Aquatica, Car2Go,
AT&T, Pacifica Companies, Geico, Home Federal, Baldwin & Sons, Pasha, Sullivan Solar, Karl Strauss,AMR,
Republic Services, Otay Water Authority and others. We have already formed a volunteer committee working to
help with fundraising and planning for HarborFest 2014.

3. Briefly describe how effective your organization is in meeting its goals and how past grants have
affected the community. How many people were served including both local residents and out of
town visitors? (limit response to the space below)
3. Due to the success of last year's event, we intend to contract again with McFarlane for marketing, promotion and
production. The event was heavily promoted via television, radio, digital and print media, an event website
(CVHarborFest.com), social media, and direct marketing such as banners, posters, signs, mailers, etc.
Television spots were secured with FOX 5, NBC 7, UT TV,Televisa, XEWT, KUSI Channel 9. Online and Print
advertising appeared in CityBeat, Filipino Press, Our Hometown Chula Vista, Pacific Magazine, San Diego
Magazine, Star News and UT. Press releases and calendar listings were mailed to hundreds of publications and
both the City of Chula Vista and the Port of San Diego promoted the event. Additional media outreach and exposure
is documented in a complete media report that will be provided upon request.
While we may not receive as much funding from the Port District as during their anniversary celebration year, we
are optimistic that our event will be favorably reviewed in their 2014 grant process after last year's great success.
We are reaching out to additional sponsors with our fundraising efforts already in progress and hope to increase
corporate sponsorships to help cover our$120,000 budget. Last year we just about broke even and have assessed
our strengths and weaknesses to enable us to continue growing and improving HarborFest, with the goal to become
South Bay's annual regional iconic event.
