WHEREAS, staff, with approval and concurrence of the Purchasing Agent, recommends
that City Council waive the competitive bidding requirements and contract with SBCS pursuant to
Chula Vista Municipal Code section 2.56.070(B)(3); and
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista agrees to provide all matching funds required for the

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Chula Vista, that the

Services, with such modifications as may be required or approved by the City Attorney.

City Manager, or designee, is authorized to take all necessary action to administer, monitor,
