REQUIREMENTS PURSUANT TO CHULA VISTA
MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 2.56.070(B)(3) AND
AUTHORIZING AND APPROPRIATING FUNDING FOR THE
PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF FENCE ALONG THE
EAST SIDE OF INDUSTRIAL BOULEVARD IN THE
PALOMAR/HARBORSIDE AREA
WHEREAS, on August 23, 2022, City Council Resolution No. 2022-203 authorized the
temporary closure of Harborside Park in order to allow staff time to address health and safety
concerns due to illegal activities being conducted at the park and in the surrounding neighborhood; and
WHEREAS, since the closure, staff has continued to monitor and conduct routine
maintenance in the surrounding area due to encampments, resulting most recently on January 12,
2024, in the removal of 2,000 square feet of graffiti and 36,540 pounds of trash and debris; and
WHEREAS, due to impacts of encampments to the businesses, residents, and Harborside
Elementary School, on January 16, 2024, City Council directed staff to install fencing along the
east side of Industrial Boulevard in the Palomar/Harborside area, approximately 6,000 feet; and
WHEREAS, staff has determined that an initial phase of approximately 3,000 feet of
fencing should be installed between Naples Street and Dorothy Street in the area most impacted,
with additional phasing as needed between L Street and Main Street; and
WHEREAS, City Council finds that the use of the competitive bidding process set forth in
interests would be better served by waiving said bidding requirements, particularly given the
immediate need to mitigate impacts to the community, as permitted by CVMC section
2.56.070(B)(3).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Chula Vista,
(1) that it, based upon the above findings, hereby waives the competitive bid requirements set
