RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA WAIVING THE CONSULTANT SELECTION
PROCESS AND APPROVING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE 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 INTERSTATE
805/EAST ORANGE AVENUE/OLYMPIC PARKWAY
INTERCHANGE PROJECT, AND AUTHORIZING THE
MAYOR TO EXECUTE SAID AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, the consultant, Linda Bartz & Associates, currently has a contract with the
City for the provision of legal services for a variety of projects; and
WHEREAS, under this contract, the consultant has previously provided legal services
relative to the acquisition of right-of-way; and
WHEREAS, the Interstate 805/East Orange Avenue/Olympic Parkway Interchange
project is being administered by CALTRANS and consultant has extensive specialized
experience with CALTRANS Policies and Procedures; and
WHEREAS, to this effect, City staff is recommending that Council approve a separate
agreement with Linda Bang & Associates for the provision of legal services, related to the
construction of Interstate 805/East Orange Avenue/Olympic Parkway Interchange project; and
WHEREAS, it is recommended that the consultant selection process be waived for the
following reasons:
Linda Bartz & Associates was selected by the City of Chula Vista
pursuant to a request for qualifications (RFQ) to provide as-needed legal
services.
Although the list established from the response to that RFQ has expired,
Ms. Bartz, pursuant to that RFQ response, has subsequently provided legal
services on condemnation and other matters.
· Ms. Bartz is a recognized expert in Eminent Domain and CALTRANS
Policies and Procedures and is uniquely familiar with the project.
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 1T 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 2003-257
