VISTA APPROPRIATING $30,000 FROM THE GOLF COURSE REVENUE
FUND FOR TWO PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES ALONG THE GOLF COURSE
JOGGING TRAIL AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY SITUATION
WAIVING THE PUBLIC BIDDING PROCESS
WHEREAS, the spring and fall rains have caused considerable damage to the
pedestrian bridges along the golf course jogging trail in the vicinity of the
Acacia Street and the Bonita Glen drainage structures; and,
WHEREAS, these drainage structures carry water from the upstream housing
developments to the Sweetwater River Channel; and,
WHEREAS, Parks and Recreation staff recommends installing two new pre-
fabricated bridges, 40 feet and 20 feet respectively, that will span the drainage
structures, with a concrete footing to anchor the bridges to provide sufficient
clearance so as not to impede the water flow; and,
WHEREAS, staff has obtained estimates for the replacement of the two
bridges which total approximately $30,000; and,
WHEREAS, staff has advised the City Council that such work is of an urgent
necessity in order to preserve life, health and property of such a nature and
degree as to justify an exemption from the duty to advertise formally for bids
for the work of improvement herein contemplated.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby find that the installation and replacement of the two new
prefabricated bridges, together with the concrete footings anchoring same, is of
an urgent necessity for the preservation of life, health and property and that
the bridges have currently been "washed out" and that the pedestrians and horses
otherwise using said bridges are forced to circumvent the washed out areas by
9oin9 into lanes of automotive traffic with extremely narrow passageways.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula Vista
does hereby authorize the letting of a contract without advertising for bids on
the basis of the urgency hereinabove referenced and authorizes the Mayor to
execute said contract.
