The attached agreement with Mr. Gary R. Hansen would constitute a similar circumstance on EastLake; it would provide technical traffic engineering assistance to the City and EastLake. The applicant, EastLake Development Company, concurs with the selection of this individual and will reimburse the City for the total cost incurred via a deposit system. RECOMMENDATION: That Council waive the Consultant Selection Policy and approve the attached agreement authorizing the Mayor to sign on behalf of the City Council. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOINDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: EastLake I is one of the largest and most important private developments the City will see during the next 10 years. It is critically important for the Council to have a thorough evaluation of each project, especially the engineering planning and phasing of public improvements. This consultant will help expedite the review and evaluation of the project without adversely affecting the ongoing operations of the Engineering Department while providing specialized traffic engineering information. Due to the uniqueness of our particular need for professional traffic engineering assistance by individuals with large scale development experience, governmental agency experience, and special expertise, I believe it is in the best interests of the City to waive the normal consultant selection policy. This is especially true with this consultant since he has excellent understanding of Chula Vista' s policies and needs, having formerly served as the City's Traffic Engineer. The project applicant concurs in the selection of this consultant. The applicant will reimburse the City for the full costs of the consultant through a deposit system. FISCAL IMPACT: There will be no net fiscal impact to the City of Chula Vista. All costs will be paid by the applicant. CHG:fp WPC 1237E by the City Council of Chula Vista, California Dated `` ��
