WHEREAS, the City Council adopted the September 11, 2000, Draft Chula Vista MSCP
Subarea Plan on October 17, 2000; and
WHEREAS, City staff prepared draft MSCP implementing ordinances and negotiated
with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and California Department of Fish and Game ("Wildlife
Agencies") to finalize the implementing agreement; and
WHEREAS, City staff prepared an Addendum to the MSCP Final EIR/EIR (SCH No.
93121073), which was certified with the Draft MSCP Subarea Plan on October 17, 2000; and
WHEREAS, based on the additional information about the Quino Checkerspot Butterfly,
the City believed it was prudent to add coverage for the Quino Checkerspot Butterfly into the
draft MSCP Subarea Plan prior to the Subarea Plan and associated implementing documents
being published in the Federal Register; and,
WHEREAS, the revised administrative Draft MSCP Subarea Plan will include
information that was not previously analyzed in the Addendum to the MSCP Final EIR/EIS
prepared for the Draft MSCP Subarea Plan, dated September 2000, and therefore further
environmental documentation is necessary; and
WHEREAS, the City does not have the "in-house" staff necessary to prepare the
environmental document within the timeframe necessary to obtain its Incidental Take Permit this
year. The expedited preparation of the environmental document for the revised Draft MSCP
Subarea Plan necessitates the hiring of an environmental Consultant; and
WHEREAS, it is in the City's best interest to waive the City's formal bid process for the
selection of consulting services as impractical in that the City is in immediate need of an
experienced consultant in order to obtain Take Authorization in an expeditious manner; and
WHEREAS, the Consultant has demonstrated competence and qualifications for the
services required, including but not limited to, a unique understanding and expertise due to
Resolution 2002-041 -'

Chula Vista's Draft MSCP Subarea Plan (September 2000); and
WHEREAS, Consultant's prior work for the City on the MSCP Subarea Plan
environmental documentation has been deemed to be satisfactory by City staff, additional work
by the Consultant would provide continuity in t e project s progression, and the City's interest
would be materially better served if the City retained this consultant; and
WHEREAS, cost estimates by Dudek and Associates, Inc. have been reviewed by staff
and are determined to be reasonable; and
WHEREAS, Consultant warrants and represents that they are experienced and staffed in
a manner such that they can prepare and deliver the services in an expedited manner; that they
have a demonstrated knowledge of issues that pertain to the MSCP, and in particular in the City
of Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan, and that they can work efficiently and effectively with City
staff.
