Library and possible answers to access issues at the library site
The firm's understanding of the requirements of the Library Bond Act
The ability to produce the final application package
The firm's fiscal strength
The passion and commitment to libraries in general, this specific project, and the City of
Chula Vista
WHEREAS, staff is recommending that the City Council waive the consultant selection
process of Municipal Code Section 2.56.110 as impractical for a variety of reasons: (1) the tight
timeline to complete the concept plan and the grant application by June 14, 2002 necessitated an
abbreviated process; (2) for the above stated reasons, Cartier Johnson is clearly a qualified team
to provides these services; (3) the modified RFP process meets the intent of the ordinance and
assured the City of a competitive price and (4) staff and the selection committee believe that the
selection of Carder Johnson is in the best interest of the City and the project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby waive the consultant selection process and award a contract to Carrier Johnson
for the preparation of a conceptual design plan and other necessary plans and documents required
for the City's submittal of a grant application under the Proposition 14 - California Reading and
Literacy Improvement and Public Library Construction and Renovation Bond Act of 2000, for
the Rancho del Rey Library, a copy of which shall be kept on file in the Office of the City Clerk.
