RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA APPROVING THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO
THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA CONSULTANT SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH HARRIS AND ASSOCIATES TO
PROVIDE HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILLING
CONSULTING SERVICES
WHEREAS, the Sewer Force Main at G Street Pump Station (SWR0275) project
(“Project”) will replace approximately 1300 linear feet of 54-year old asbestos-cement sewer
force main pipe located along G Street on the United Technologies Corporation (UTC) campus;
and
WHEREAS, City proposes to utilize Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) for the
Project in order to minimize disruption to existing soil conditions as well as to daily UTC
operations; and
WHEREAS, on January 1, 2018, Harris & Associates (“Consultant”) and City entered
into the “City of Chula Vista Consultant Services Agreement with Harris and Associates to
Provide Horizontal Directional Drilling Consulting Services” (“Original Agreement”) to provide
professional engineering services to support the Project design with respect to HDD technology,
design, and constructability, and to ensure the Project moved successfully through the design,
bid, and construction phases of the Project; and
WHEREAS, due to unforeseen design complexities with respect to HDD design and
constructability, City staff has determined that additional services are needed for the Project in
order to timely and efficiently complete the design; and
WHEREAS, staff believes that public advertising for the required additional services
would be impractical and could result in delays to imminent improvements related to the
Bayfront development; and
WHEREAS, Consultant has extensive expertise in HDD technology, has been intimately
and effectively involved with the Project, and possesses valuable insight into the history and
progress of the Project’s preliminary engineering and design to date; and
WHEREAS, Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 2.56.110.H.2 provides an exception to
the City’s competitive selection process for professional services where the competitive bidding
requirements would be impractical or the City’s interests would be materially better served by
applying a different purchasing procedure; and

WHEREAS, staff recommends that Council award the contract to the Consultant in
accordance with the Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 2.56.110.H.2 as the City’s interests
would be materially better served by awarding the proposed contract to Consultant due to its
expertise in HDD, extensive familiarity with the Project, and knowledge of the design to date,
and that publicly advertising for the required additional services would be impractical and could
result in delays to imminent improvements related to the Bayfront development; and
WHEREAS, City and Consultant desire to amend the Original Agreement to increase the
not-to-exceed contract amount by $70,840, for an amended agreement amount of $90,840, to
allow Consultant to complete the design for the Project by delivering Project plans and technical
specifications.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Chula Vista
that it authorizes the award of the First Amendment to the City of Chula Vista Consultant
Services Agreement with Harris and Associates to Provide Horizontal Directional Drilling
Consulting Services in accordance with Chula Vista Municipal Code section 2.56.110.H.2 as
utilizing the selection process in Chula Vista Municipal Code section 2.56.110.C would be
impractical and the City’s interests would be materially better served by applying a different
purchasing procedure for the reasons stated in this resolution.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Chula Vista that it
approves the First Amendment to the City of Chula Vista Consultant Services Agreement with
Harris and Associates to Provide Horizontal Directional Drilling Consulting Services, in the
form presented, with such minor modifications as may be required or approved by the City
Attorney, a copy of which shall be kept on file in the Office of the City Clerk, and authorizes and
directs the Mayor or his/her designee to execute same.
