RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA APPROVING THE FOURTH AMENDMENT
TO THE AGREEMENT WITH THE ACCOUNTING FIRM OF
LANCE, SOLL AND LUNGHARD, LLP TO PROVIDE
AUDITING SERVICES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020
WHEREAS, section 107 of the Chula Vista Charter requires an annual independent audit
of the City; and
WHEREAS, in 2014 the Finance Department posted a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) to
provide auditing services to the City for Fiscal Years 2014 through 2018 and, based on that
solicitation, the City Council approved the agreement with Lance, Soll and Lunghard, LLP
(LSL); and
WHEREAS, a vacancy at the Finance Manager level in the Finance Department has
created staffing and workload challenges in the Department, making it impractical for the
Department to solicit bids for an auditor to complete audit services for the Fiscal Year ending
2020 and, as such, staff is requesting approval to contract with LSL to complete those audit
services; and
WHEREAS, Municipal Code section 2.56.110.H.2 provides that, when it is determined
by resolution of the City Council (for contracts with a maximum contract amount in excess of
$100,000) that the competitive bidding requirements are impractical, or impossible, or that City
interests would be materially better served by applying a different purchasing procedure, the
City Council may award the contract utilizing alternative procedures consistent with best
purchasing practices; and
WHEREAS, the Finance Department shall solicit for audit services for Fiscal Years 2021
through 2025.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista, that it:
1. Finds that it would be impractical to solicit bids for a new auditor to complete the
audit services for the Fiscal Year ending 2020, and the City’s best interests would be
best served by amending the Agreement with LSL to engage LSL to complete those
services; and
2. Approves the Fourth Amendment to the Agreement, between the City and Lance Soll
and Lunghard, LLP, 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 Attorney, and authorizes and directs the City Manager to execute
same.
