RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA WAIVING THE COMPETITIVE BID
REQUIREMENT; APPROVING THE AGREEMENT WITH THE
LIVING COAST DISCOVERY CENTER TO PROVIDE
COMPOST PROGRAM SITE MAINTENANCE AND COMPOST
PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL SERVICES FOR THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA
WHEREAS, the Living Coast Discovery Center was previously part of the City of Chula
Vista operations, as the Chula Vista Nature Center and became a stand-alone entity, the Living
Coast Discovery Center; and
WHEREAS, prior to the transfer of the Living Coast Discovery Center, the City’s Office
of Sustainability-Environmental Services Section built the compost demonstration site to host
classes and workshops and continued this working relationship without a formal contract after the
transfer of ownership; and
WHEREAS, the demand for these courses and workshops has grown along with the need
to develop a Master Composter community, including the provision of workshops, Master
Composting courses, and public education; and
WHEREAS, with the nature of the agreement and the ownership of the composting
demonstration site by Living Coast Discovery Center it would be impractical to solicit competitive
bids and therefore per CVMC 2.56.110(H)(2) the City’s interests are materially better served in
contracting directly with the Living Coast Discovery Center; and
WHEREAS, in order to procure these services, the Living Coast Discovery Center was
chosen based on their educational expertise and experience running the program including
maintenance of the program's member network and connections to local school districts for the
purpose of holding tours and presentations on their property.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Chula Vista
that it:
1) Based on the findings in the above recitals which are hereby incorporated herein,
waives the competitive bid requirement.
2) Approves the Agreement for the City of Chula Vista Contractor/Service Provider
Services Agreement with the Living Coast Discovery Center to Provide Courses,
Workshops, and Outreach for the City’s Back Yard Composting Program, in the form
presented, with such minor modifications as may be required or approved by the City
Attorney.
3) Authorizes the City Manager or designee to execute the agreement.
