For the last year, Ms Bartz has been working on the Salt Creek project and providing the needed services and throughout this period Ms Bartz has done so in a very efficient and effective manner. The establishment of this contract, while it increases the overall amount to be spent on the project for these services, also serves as a refinement that is purely administrative to better manage the Consultant's contract. WHEREAS, staff is recommending that the City Council waive the consultant selection process of Municipal Code Section 2.56.110 as impractical for above stated reasons. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby waive the consultant selection process and approve an agreement between the Resolution 2002-045 Page 2 City of Chula Vista and Linda Bartz & Associates, for the provision of legal services needed for the acquisition of right-of-way required for the construction of the Salt Creek Gravity Sewer Interceptor and the Wolf Canyon Trunk Sewer, a copy of which shall be kept on file in the Office of the City Clerk.
