WHEREAS, on September 10, 2019, the City Council awarded a construction contract to
HMS, Inc. for the Installation of Pedestrian Countdown Indications and Traffic Signal
Modifications (CIP No. TRF0405); and
WHEREAS, the TRF0405 project installed pedestrian countdown indications at 117
intersections throughout the City and installed new traffic signals at three intersections including
a new signal at the Third Avenue and Davidson Street intersection; and
WHEREAS, construction of the new signal at the Third Avenue and Davidson Street
intersection required coordination between the TRF0405 project and a separate CIP project, the
Third Avenue Streetscape Improvement project; and
WHEREAS, due to this coordination, the existing traffic signal poles and pedestrian
lights were removed before the new poles were fabricated, to allow the Third Avenue
Streetscape Improvement project to complete the required sidewalk improvements; and
WHEREAS, a temporary pedestrian lighting system was installed to light the intersection
until the new traffic signals were installed, however fabrication of the traffic signals was delayed
at the manufacturing plant due to COVID impacts to plant staff, causing the temporary lighting
system to be in place longer than anticipated; and
WHEREAS, these delays resulted in increased staff costs of approximately $60,000,
which exceed the project contingencies and result in the need for additional project funds; and
WHEREAS, adoption of the resolution will appropriate $60,000 from the Traffic Signal
Fund to TRF0405; and
WHEREAS, on October 15, 2019, the City Council awarded a construction contract to
Blue Pacific Engineering and Construction for the Parkside Sewage Pump Station project (CIP

Page No. 2
WHEREAS, the SWR0293 project replaced an existing sewer pump station in Parkside
Drive, and installed a new sewage wet well, emergency overflow tank, emergency generator, and
dual force main pipelines in Parkside Drive; and
WHEREAS, the new pump station required a new electric meter for the pumps and a new
gas meter for the emergency generator; and
WHEREAS, significant delays were encountered with the utility company during the
inspection and energizing of these new meters, resulting in delays to the projects completion
date and increases to consultant, contractor, and staff costs that are likely to exceed the project
contingencies; and
WHEREAS, the delay impacts and cost increases are not fully known at this time, but
staff anticipates that the additional costs will not exceed $75,000; and
WHEREAS, adoption of the resolution will appropriate $75,000 from the Sewer
Facilities Replacement Fund to SWR0293 to cover the additional project costs.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Chula Vista
that it approves the appropriation of $60,000 from the available balance of the Traffic Signal
