Call CIP Construction Management Consulting Services agreement on November 7, 2017. The City and PPC
desire to amend the Agreement to provide additional on-call construction management and inspection
services for CIP projects, including Measure P funded projects, by increasing the PPC contract limit
to$4,000,000.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Project qualifies for a Class 1 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of
the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not Applicable
DISCUSSION
The Department of Engineering and Capital Projects manages preliminary engineering, design,
construction management, and inspection of the City’s CIP projects, including Measure P projects. Due to
the increase in funding associated with Measure P and the Senate Bill 1 gas tax, the current fiscal year’s CIP
Program exceeds $90 million. Staff anticipates the increase in the number of CIP projects will continue for
the next few years. The City made commitments to deliver improvements for infrastructure throughout
Chula Vista which takes significant effort to plan, fund, and construct.
On November 6, 2017, by Resolution No. 2017-0409, Council approved the Agreement with PPC for On-Call
CIP Construction Management Consulting Services (Attachment 1). PPC provided assistance with the

construction management and inspection of CIP projects, including Measure P funded projects, when
workload exceeded the capacity of existing city staffing levels, for both the Engineering and Capital Projects
and Public Works Departments. PPC provided personnel that are experienced in a variety of construction
methods, field inspection, construction management, and contract administration. To provide construction
management and inspection services for additionalCIP and Measure P projects, City staff recommends
increasing PPC’s contract limit by $2,000,000, for a new, not to exceed contract amount of $4,000,000.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific
and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real
property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et
seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decisionmaker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
All fees for Consultant's services will be paid from funds already allocated for CIP or development funded
projects. The two-year contract is eligible for three one-year extensions upon mutual agreement. The costs
associated with delivering a project, with the use of a consultant, may increase as staff’s oversight would be
required, in addition to the consultant fees.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT

TITLE
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING A CONSULTANT
SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH HUNSAKER & ASSOCIATES SAN DIEGO, INC. FOR DEVELOPING
THE MAX FIELD/RIENSTRA PARK ACCESSIBILITY STUDY (CIP# PRK0333)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
In November 2018, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was circulated for professional consultant
services to prepare the Max Field/Rienstra Park Accessibility Study (CIP# PRK0333). After
reviewing the submittals and interviewing the candidates, staff recommends that Council approve
an agreement with Hunsaker & Associates, Inc. for the development of the Study.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a
“Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it is limited to
consultant services to evaluate ADA access, parking lot layout, an analysis for the drainage facility,
and pedestrian connectivity. There is no possibility that the activity in question may have a
significant effect on the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State
CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Director of Development Services has also determined that the “Project” qualifies for an
Exemption pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act State
Guidelines. Thus, no environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.

DISCUSSION
On September 25, 2018, per Resolution 2018-201, the City Council amended the FY 2019 Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) budget by establishing several new Measure P funded CIP projects.
One of the CIP’s created is the “Max Field/Loma Verde (Rienstra Park) Accessibility Study” (CIP #
PRK0333).
In general, the purpose of the subject CIP project is to prepare an access feasibility study and ADA
Act compliance assessment of the park at Rienstra Ball Fields Park located at 1500 Max Avenue in
Chula Vista, CA. The park has a total of seven baseball fields in operation of varying dimensions
for various age levels of organized sports play. The site also has bleachers, restroom facilities, a
115-stall parking lot and two privately owned/operated concession stands. One park asset that
was removed was a wooden stairway that linked Rienstra Park to/from the Loma Verde
Recreation Center, located at 1420 Loma Lane. The study will determine the feasibility and cost
for replacing the failed stairway with an ADA accessible path between the Park and the Recreation
Center. In addition, it will evaluate the site for parking needs and parking lot layout within
Rienstra Park and develop alternatives to accommodate the parking needs. Alternatives will
include replacement of the link between the park and the recreation center, establishing new
parking lots, reconfiguring or expanding existing parking lots and other concepts proposed by the
consultant, City staff and the community. The study will also develop and evaluate alternatives for
an ADA compliant pathway through the park connecting all the ballfields to the parking lots. The
consultant is required to conduct outreach with the community, baseball leagues and other
stakeholders to inform the study.
Consultant Selection Process
On December 14, 2018, the City Manager approved the formation of the selection committee for
this project (in accordance with CVMC Section 2.56.110.C), that included the following members:
Robert Beamon, Administrative Services Manager - Engineering & Capital Projects
Kalani Camacho, Streets Superintendent - Public Works
Tim Farmer, Parks and Recreation Administrator
Patricia Ferman, Principal Landscape Architect - Development Services
Jose Gomez, Principal Civil Engineer - Engineering & Capital Projects
On December 13, 2018, the City received submittals from four (4) firms. The firms that submitted
written proposals are (in alphabetical order):
The Altum Group
Hunsaker & Associates, Inc.
Kimley Horn Associates
MIG & Fuscoe Engineering
2019-03-12 Agenda Packet Page 47
P a g e | 3
The selection committee reviewed and evaluated the submitted written proposals and found each
proposal met the minimum qualifications and all firms were invited to participate in the interview
selection process. The written proposals were evaluated and ranked based on the following
criteria:
Understanding of the work to be done
Quality of staff
Experience with similar kinds of work
Cost Proposal and Fee Schedule
Project approach for each objective
The selection committee conducted interviews based on the following criteria:
Summary of project staffing level for the accessibility study
Discussion of the project schedule and the critical path through substantial completion
Approach as it relates to the objectives of the Accessibility Study
Any additional tasks not included in the Accessibility Study RFP.
The interviews were held on Tuesday, February 5, 2019. The results of the process are as follows:
Firm Final Rank Cost Proposal
Hunsaker & Associates, Inc. 1 $ 76,700 + up to $4,500 optional tasks = $81,200
MIG & Fuscoe Engineering 2 $ 86,350
Kimley-Horn & Associates, Inc. 3 $124,000
The Altum Group 4 $ 73,809
After an in-depth review of the finalists, the selection committee concluded that Hunsaker &
Associates, Inc. should be ranked as the number one negotiation preference based on the
consultant team’s understanding of the accessibility constraints, and the drainage and
environmental issues involved with the project. Hunsaker & Associates, Inc., a San Diego area firm
with over 31 years in business, has extensive experience and expertise with similar types of
projects for both private and public agencies including the City of Chula Vista.
In addition to the negotiated base price of $76,700, a negotiated option for four (4) additional
outreach meetings at a cost of $4,500 is included in the agreement for a total “not to exceed”
amount of $81,200.
Based on these findings, staff recommends that Council adopt the resolution approving the
consultant services agreement between the City and Hunsaker & Associates, Inc. (Attachment 1)

DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property
holdings within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action.
Consequently, this item does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of
interest under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(7) or (8), for purposes of
the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code §87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any
other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. The Max
Field/Rienstra Park Accessibility Study supports the Healthy Community, Strong & Secure
Neighborhoods and Connected Community goals as it will help the City make safety and
accessibility improvements to existing park facilities which encourages active lifestyles for the
youth of the City.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the Resolution will approve an agreement with Hunsaker & Associates, Inc. to develop a Max
Field/Rienstra Park Accessibility Study. Sufficient Measure P funds are available in PRK0333 to cover the
cost.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
The study will not have an ongoing fiscal impact.

disclose certain of their personal assets and income using a Statement of Economic Interests form (Form 700).
In order to assure compliance with these requirements, Consultant shall comply with the disclosure
requirements identified in the attached Exhibit C, incorporated into the Agreement by this reference.
5.2 Disclosures; Prohibited Interests. Independent of whether Consultant is required to file a Form 700,
Consultant warrants and represents that it has disclosed to City any economic interests held by Consultant, or
its employees or subcontractors who will be performing the Required Services, in any real property or project
which is the subject of this Agreement. Consultant warrants and represents that it has not employed or retained
any company or person, other than a bona fide employee or approved subcontractor working solely for
Consultant, to solicit or secure this Agreement. Further, Consultant warrants and represents that it has not paid
or agreed to pay any company or person, other than a bona fide employee or approved subcontractor working
solely for Consultant, any fee, commission, percentage, brokerage fee, gift or other consideration contingent
upon or resulting from the award or making of this Agreement. Consultant further warrants and represents
that no officer or employee of City, has any interest, whether contractual, non-contractual, financial or
otherwise, in this transaction, the proceeds hereof, or in the business of Consultant or Consultant’s
subcontractors. Consultant further agrees to notify City in the event any such interest is discovered wheth er
or not such interest is prohibited by law or this Agreement. For breach or violation of any of these warranties,
City shall have the right to rescind this Agreement without liability.
6. REMEDIES
6.1 Termination for Cause. If for any reason whatsoever Consultant shall fail to perform the Required
Services under this Agreement, in a proper or timely manner, or if Consultant shall violate any of the other
covenants, agreements or conditions of this Agreement (each a “Default”), in addition to any and all other
rights and remedies City may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity, City shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement by giving five (5) days written notice to Consultant. Such notice shall identify the
Default and the Agreement termination date. If Consultant notifies City of its intent to cure such Default prior

to City’s specified termination date, and City agrees that the specified Default is capable of being cured, City
may grant Consultant up to ten (10) additional days after the designated termination date to effectuate such
cure. In the event of a termination under this Section 6.1, Consultant shall immediately provide City any and
all ”Work Product” (defined in Section 7 below) prepared by Consultant as part of the Required Services.
Such Work Product shall be City’s sole and exclusive property as provided in Section 7 hereof. Consultant

payable under this Agreement for such work, and any such compensation shall be reduced by any costs
incurred or projected to be incurred by City as a result of the Default.

or any portion of the Required Services, at any time and for any reason, with or without cause, by giving
specific written notice to Consultant of such termination or suspension at least fifteen (15) days prior to the
effective date thereof. Upon receipt of such notice, Consultant shall immediately cease all work under the
Agreement and promptly deliver all “Work Product” (defined in Section 7 below) to City. Such Work Product
shall be City's sole and exclusive property as provided in Section 7 hereof. Consultant shall be entitled to
receive just and equitable compensation for this Work Product in an amount equal to the amount due and
payable under this Agreement for work satisfactorily performed as of the date of the termination/suspension
notice plus any additional remaining Required Services requested or approved by City in advance that would
maximize City’s value under the Agreement.

Section, Consultant hereby expressly waives any and all claims for damages or compensation as a result of
such termination except as expressly provided in this Section 6.

2. Required Services
A. General Description:
In general, the main task of the Consultant is to prepare an access feasibility study and ADA Act compliance
assessment of the park at Rienstra Ball Fields Park located at 1500 Max Avenue in Chula Vista, CA. 91911.
The park provides a total of 7 baseball fields of varying dimensions for various age levels of organized sports
play. The site also has bleachers, restroom facilities, a 115-stall parking lot and two privately owned/operated
concession stands. One park asset that was removed was a wooden stairway that linked Rienstra Park to/from
the Loma Verde Recreation Center, located at 1420 Loma Lane. Consultant will determine the location for
the replacement access structure as well as ADA accessible paths to all park facilities and each of the ball
fields. The consultant will evaluate the site for parking needs and parking lot layout within Rienstra Park and
develop alternatives to accommodate the parking needs. Alternatives will include replacement of the link
between the park and the recreation center, establishing new parking lots, reconfiguring or expanding existing
parking lots and other concepts proposed by the consultant. The consultant will also evaluate and propose
alternatives for an ADA compliant pathway through the park connecting all the b allfields to the parking lots.
Public outreach is required with the community and baseball leagues. Cost estimates will be prepared for all
alternatives.

TITLE
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA ACCEPTING $41,455 FROM THE
BUREAU OF JUSTICE ASSISTANCE AND APPROPRIATING SAID FUNDS TO THE POLICE GRANTS SECTION
OF THE FEDERAL GRANTS FUND FOR THE BULLETPROOF VEST PARTNERSHIP (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
The Police Department was recently notified by the Bureau of Justice Assistance of approved funding for
the Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP). The BVP funding will pay for 50% of the cost of bulletproof vests
for police officers. Matching funds are already included in the Police budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as
defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change in
the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is
not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not Applicable
DISCUSSION
On June 16, 1998, the Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant Act of 1998 was signed as law. The purpose of
the Act is to save the lives of law enforcement officers by helping States and units of local government
equip their law enforcement officers with armor vests. The Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP) is a
program of the U.S. Department of Justice administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). The
program is designed to pay up to 50% of the cost of bulletproof vests for law enforcement officers. BJA
announces BVP funding opportunities on an annual basis.
2019-03-12 Agenda Packet Page 67
P a g e | 2
In May 2018, the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) announces the Bulletproof Vest Program (BVP) funding
opportunity for fiscal year 2019. The Police Department applied for funding and was recently notified by
BJA that the application was approved.
The Bulletproof Vest Partnership is a non-competitive program. The BVP Act of 2000 requires that BJA
give funding priority to jurisdiction with populations under 100,000 residents by awarding those
jurisdictions the full 50% of the application total, with any remaining funds available for applications from
jurisdictions over 100,000 people. The Department has been receiving BVP awards since 2000 and has
been awarded $41,455 for fiscal year 2019 funding period. Fiscal year 2019 BVP funds remain available
until August 31, 2020.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific
and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real
property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et
seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact

TITLE
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA ACCEPTING $222,000 FROM THE U.S.
DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY AND APPROPRIATING $70,000 TO THE POLICE GRANTS
SECTION OF THE FEDERAL GRANT FUND FOR OPERATION STONEGARDEN (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
Since the events of September 11, 2001, the interception of terrorists and their weapons attempting entry
across the nation’s borders has become the priority mission of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Grant funding via “Operation Stonegarden” has been awarded to the San Diego County region to facilitate
regional partnerships and enhance border enforcement capabilities. In coordination with the U.S. Customs
Border Protection (CBP) and grant administration by the County of San Diego, the Police Department has
been allocated $222,000 for Operation Stonegarden 2018 funding.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as
defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change in
the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is
not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable
DISCUSSION
The mission of Operation Stonegarden is to raise border security by increasing law enforcement presence
along the border, intelligence/information sharing and communication. Participating agencies in this
regional effort include the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE), San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, California Department of Motor Vehicles,
2019-03-12 Agenda Packet Page 70
P a g e | 2
California Highway Patrol, California Fish and Game, San Diego County Probation Department, and San
Diego Harbor Police.
The Chula Vista Police Department is in the unique position of being geographically located in close
proximity to the border (5 miles) with three main north/south arteries traversing the city. As a result,
multiple local and federal agencies frequently ask the Department for assistance and interdiction of both
north and south bound traffic involved in border-related crimes. The Police Department will continue to
participate in regional efforts of border enforcement on an overtime basis. The Department was funded
$4.4 million in prior Stonegarden awards, and the 2018 funding of $222,000 will continue those regional
efforts.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific
and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real
property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et
seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this resolution will result in a one-time appropriation of $70,000 to the capital category of the
Police Grants Section of the Federal Grant Fund, and the remaining funding in subsequent fiscal year
FY19/20. The funding from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will completely offset these costs,
resulting in no net fiscal impact to the General Fund.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of this resolution will also direct staff to include $152,000 in the personnel category of the
subsequent FY19/20 budget in the Police Grants Section of the Federal Grant Fund. The funding from the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security will completely offset these costs, resulting in no net fiscal impact to
the General Fund.

DISCUSSION
Background
The City of Chula Vista offers a Group Disability Program to provide income replacement and insurance
premium continuation for eligible City of Chula Vista employees who are unable to work due to illness,non-
occupational injury, or pregnancy. The Program includes both Short Term Disability (STD) benefits and
Long-Term Disability (LTD) benefits.
From January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018, the City’s STD and LTD provider was United Healthcare
Insurance Company and previously, from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2017, the City’s STD and
LTD provider was Cigna Insurance Plan. To ensure the City procures the most competitively priced
coverage and services for its employees, a Request for Proposal (RFP) for STD and LTD insurance was
issued in July 2018. The contract was awarded to The Hartford effective January 1, 2019. The Hartford is a
current carrier partner for the City’s Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance (via
an agreement) and transitioning the STD and LTD insurance plan (via an amendment) allows for carrier
consolidation and administrative process streamlining while maintaining the same benefit eligibility and
benefits in the insurance plan.
Eligibility
Employees covered under the plan are all active benefited-salaried employees directly employed by the
City of Chula Vista in a full-time or part-time benefited-salaried status classified as: Elected Officials
(Mayor, Council Members, and City Attorney), City Manager, City Clerk, Executive Management, Senior
Management, Middle Management (MM), Professional (PROF), Unclassified and Confidential MM and PROF,
Western Council of Engineers, Association of Chula Vista Employees, and Confidential. Employees
represented by the Police Officers Association (POA) and International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF)
are excluded from this benefit as they maintain their own plans. An eligible employee who is disabled
according to the policy’s definition of disability may be eligible to receive benefits.
Plan Benefits
Short-term disability (STD) coverage is based upon 60% of an eligible employee’s basic earnings up to a
maximum of $1,732 per week. Benefits would begin after an “Elimination Period” of 30 days for an illness,
non-occupational injury, or pregnancy and would be paid for as long as the employee continues to meet the
policy’s definition of disability. STD benefits are payable for up to nine weeks. After nine weeks, coverage
transitions to Long-term Disability (LTD). An eligible employee’s LTD benefit is 60% of the employee’s
monthly earnings to a maximum of $7,500 per month. Benefits are calculated based on the employee’s
earnings and may be reduced by Other Income Benefits and Disability Earnings. Examples of other income
benefits are any temporary disability benefits received under the Workers’ Compensation Law or any
amount received under unemployment compensation law.

Dismemberment Insurance policy renewal.
