RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA ACCEPTING THE CITY MANAGER'S
CERTIFICATION OF SOLE SOURCE STATUS, APPROVING
A DESIGN BUILD AGREEMENT WITH HIGHLAND
PARTNERSHIP, INC. FOR THE PROVISION OF SERVICES
REQUIRED TO DESIGN AND CONSTRUCT RENOVATIONS
TO THE CITY'S CIVIC CENTER COMPLEX, PURSUANT TO
THE MASTER PLAN, AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO
EXECUTE SAID AGREEMENT, AND APPROPRIATING
$3,820,450 FROM THE AVAILABLE BALANCE OF THE
PUBLIC FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE FUND
TO FINANCE THE PRE-CONSTRUCTION PHASE OF THE
PROJECT
WHEREAS, the City Council previously approved Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
project GG-139 which involves the renovation of the Civic Center Complex; and
WHEREAS, a Master Plan for the renovations was approved in July of 2001; and
WHEREAS, the Design Build Agreement will mark the kick-off of the implementation
of that Master Plan with the project being broken into multiple components and the duration of
the project will be from four to five years; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Chula Vista Municipal Code §2.57.030, the City Manager must
certify the sole source status of the Design Builder and the City Manager does so certify based
upon the following:
Highland Partnership Inc. (HPI) and its team has specialized knowledge based on
its preparation of the Civic Center Complex Master Plan, programming and
schematic design and has demonstrated expertise in this field with the design and
construction of other public facilities.
Reference checks done as part of the original selection process for the CMC list
resulted in favorable reports regarding the work completed by HPI.
Time is of the essence regarding the renovation of these facilities. Space is a
premium commodity in all three buildings and, notwithstanding future build-out,
additional square footage is needed just to meet existing space needs. Evidence of
this is the City's reliance on temporary structures to house current staff within the
Civic Center Complex.
HPI and its team have significant history regarding the space, programming and
development needs required for the Civic Center Complex renovation. To require
an Request for Proposal (RFP) for this project would be a waste of this expertise.
The proposed sole source agreement is consistent with the intent of the priority
list established as a result of the Request for Qualification (RFQ) process as
approved by the City Council and from which I-IPI was originally selected.
