ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed action was reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
and it was determined that the activity is not a “Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA
Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change in the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section
15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable
DISCUSSION
A. Second Amended Restated Regional Wastewater Agreement (SARA):
The Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant (PLWTP) is a regional facility in the Metropolitan Sewerage
System (Metro System) and is permitted to treat 240 million gallons per day (MGD) of regional
wastewater to an Advanced Primary Level. Operated by the City of San Diego, the PLWTP was
constructed in 1963 and is the backbone of the Metro System. The City of Chula Vista’s average of 16.7
MGD of wastewater is treated at PLWTP.
The City of Chula Vista is one of 12 PAs that convey wastewater to the PLWTP for treatment. The Metro
Wastewater Joint Powers Authority (Metro JPA) is a joint powers agency composed of 12 local public PAs
each having the authority to provide and contract for the conveyance, treatment, and disposal of
wastewater. The Metro JPA represents over 800,000 sewer rate payers and provides more than $105M
a year in contributions to the Metro System. As a result, the Metro JPA and the City of San Diego are
partners in overseeing PLWTP.
The Federal Clean Water Act, passed in 1972, required that all wastewater treatment plants be permitted
with a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. The permitting process in
California involves the Environmental Protection Agency, the Regional Water Quality Control Board, the
State Water Resources Control Board and the California Coastal Commission.
The Clean Water Act required wastewater treatment plants to treat wastewater to at least a secondary
level. The actual treatment requirements vary depending on whether discharging to a lake, river or
ocean as well as specific characteristics of the receiving water body.
Several years after the Clean Water Act was enacted, it was amended to allow a modified permit (waiver
of secondary treatment) if the discharger could demonstrate the safe discharge of wastewater to the
receiving water. Initially, the City of San Diego applied for a modified permit for PLWTP, but later
withdrew the application and began planning to convert PLWTP to secondary treatment. During this
time, the window for applying for modified permits closed and the City of San Diego had not begun the
construction to convert PLWTP.
In 1994, the Ocean Pollution Reduction Act (OPRA) was passed by the Federal government modifying the
Clean Water Act. OPRA re-opened the window to apply for a modified permit (waiver of secondary
treatment) and gave the City of San Diego the opportunity again to apply for a modified permit for
PLWTP. In response to the support from the environmental community, the City of San Diego agreed to
construct facilities to provide 45 MGD of reclaimed water capacity. This resulted in the construction of
Page 20 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
P a g e | 3
the North City Water Reclamation Plant, the South Bay Water Reclamation Plant and the South Bay Ocean
Outfall. The City of San Diego was granted the first modified permit for PLWTP in 1994.
Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement 1998
During this period there were some challenges between the City of San Diego and the PAs. The PAs felt
that the City of San Diego was operating the Metro System and making large financial decisions without
their input or consideration. The disputes led to the creation of the 1998 Regional Wastewater Disposal
Agreement (Attachments 1 and 2) and the formation of the Metropolitan Wastewater Commission
(Metro Commission).
The City of San Diego and the PAs, entered into the Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement dated May
18, 1998 (the “1998 Agreement”), which provided, among other things, for certain contract rights to
capacity in the Metropolitan Sewerage System, a system of wastewater conveyance, treatment, and
disposal facilities (“Metro System”) and the establishment of a mechanism to fund the planning, design,
construction, operation, and maintenance of the Metro System by the City of San Diego and the PAs.
The purposes of the 1998 Agreement were: (1) to replace the prior-existing sewage disposal agreements
between the City of San Diego and the PAs; (2) to provide certain contract rights to capacity in the Metro
System to the PAs; (3) to establish a mechanism to fund the planning, design, construction, operation and
maintenance of the Metro System by the City and the PAs as necessary to provide hydraulic capacity, and
to comply with applicable law and with generally accepted engineering practices; and (4) to establish a
system of charges which allocates the costs of the planning, design and construction of such new
wastewater conveyance, treatment and disposal facilities as necessary solely to provide for new capacity
on a fair and equitable basis.
Pure Water
On April 29, 2014, the City of San Diego City Council approved the Pure Water San Diego program by
adoption of Resolution No. R-308906, which approved and supported the City of San Diego’s efforts to
develop an implementation strategy to offload wastewater flow from the PLWTP through
implementation of potable reuse, resulting in effluent discharged to the Pacific Ocean being equivalent
to what would be achieved by upgrading the PLWTP to a secondary treatment plant (secondary
equivalency).
The City of San Diego is implementing a phased, multi-year program designed to achieve compliance with
the Clean Water Act and regionally produce up to 83 MGD of safe, reliable potable water using new,
expanded, or modified facilities, some of which will include Metro System facilities, in order to achieve
secondary equivalency at the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Currently, the Pure Water Program will not only benefit the City of San Diego by producing repurified
water, but also the PAs, and their wastewater customers, especially if secondary equivalency is
recognized through federal legislation amending the Clean Water Act. Specifically, the implementation of
the Pure Water Program will reduce wastewater discharges to the PLWTP, part of the Metro System
where a large portion of the PAs’ wastewater is currently treated and disposed of by discharging it into
the Pacific Ocean. By diverting wastewater from the PLWTP and reducing the effluent discharged into
the Pacific Ocean, the City of San Diego and the PAs will potentially avoid billions of dollars in
Page 21 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
P a g e | 4
unnecessary capital and operating costs to upgrade the Point Loma plant to secondary treatment at full
capacity. Avoiding such costs would result in significant savings for regional wastewater customers and
achieve environmental benefits by reducing ocean discharge.
Amended and Restated Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement (ARA)
Effective on or around August 22, 2021, the City of San Diego and the PAs, amended the 1998 Agreement
by executing an Amended and Restated Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement (the “ARA”) to address
the costs and revenues associated with Phase 1 of the Pure Water Program, including specific cost
allocations related to the construction, expansion, and/or modification of Metro System facilities and
Water Repurification System facilities designed to produce up to 30 MGD of Repurified Water (“Phase 1”;
Attachments 3 and 4). The ARA provided that within one year of its effective date, the Parties would meet
and negotiate in good faith regarding one or more amendments to the ARA or to its Exhibits to address
multiple outstanding items described in Section 2.9 of the ARA.
In an effort to address in good faith the outstanding items described in Section 2.9 of the ARA, and
comprehensively and equitably address the costs, revenues, and billing system associated with the Pure
Water Program and the related construction, expansion, and/or modification of Metro System facilities
beyond Phase 1, the City of San Diego and PAs, including the City of Chula Vista wish to approve a second
amendment and restate the ARA as provided herein (Attachment 5).
B. Administrative Agreement No. 1
As noted earlier, the City of San Diego operates the Metro System, a regional wastewater system that
collects, treats and disposes of wastewater generated from within City of San Diego boundaries and from
within the service areas of the PAs, in accordance with NPDES Permit No. CA107409 and California Waste
Discharge Requirements.
The City of San Diego desires to carry out a uniform industrial waste disposal, pretreatment and
enhanced source control program (“Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program,” as defined in
Attachment 6) on behalf of itself and the PAs in the Metro System throughout the Metro System service
area; and to help ensure that the City of San Diego can meet the requirements of its NPDES permits,
including implementation of both indirect potable reuse under Phase 1 of Pure Water San Diego and a
potential future direct potable reuse (“DPR”) program.
The City of San Diego and the PAs determined that the centralized operation of an Industrial
Pretreatment and Source Control Program provides certain General Benefits (as defined in Attachment
6) to all users of the Metro System. Absent an Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program
providing these General Benefits, the increased costs would be incurred as general treatment and
disposal costs of the Metro System. Additionally, any PA with industrial users in their jurisdiction would
also incur the costs of operating their own program.
Pursuant to Government Code Sections 6502 and 6513, the PAs may delegate to the City of San Diego full
authority to carry out a common Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program, on behalf of the
City of San Diego and the PAs, which meets the requirements of federal and state law, including City of
Page 22 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
P a g e | 5
San Diego’s required permits, and is consistent with the Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control
Program ordinances enacted by the City of San Diego and each PA, as amended from time to time.
Pursuant to such delegation, the City of San Diego may issue industrial user permits or discharge
authorizations to Industrial Users, levy and collect industrial waste discharge, pretreatment, and
permitting fees, fines and penalties, and recover other costs of monitoring and enforcement from
industrial and other users discharging to the Metro System on behalf of the PAs.
Currently, the costs related to the industrial discharges inspection, monitoring, and enforcement
program within the City of San Diego’s boundaries, including related administrative and laboratory costs,
are excluded from the amounts charged by the City of San Diego as Metro System Costs to City of San
Diego and the PAs pursuant to section 5.2.1.2.3 of the Amended and Restated Regional Wastewater
Disposal Agreement (“ARA” as defined further herein).
The City of San Diego and the PAs agreed, pursuant to section 2.9.1.3 of the ARA, to negotiate in good
faith to allow certain costs relating to the Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program to be
charged as Metro System Costs to City of San Diego and PAs in recognition of the General Benefits that
the program provides to the Metro System.
Based on the above, the PAs agree to delegate to the City of San Diego, as the agent of each PA, and the
City of San Diego agrees to accept, the authority and responsibility for diligently inspecting, monitoring
and enforcing the City of San Diego’s Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program ordinances on
behalf of the PAs within their respective boundaries through administrative or legal proceedings, with
the PAs working in coordination with the City of San Diego as necessary in enforcement efforts. However,
to be clear, the City of San Diego shall not be responsible for, and does not accept authority or
responsibility to inspect, monitor or enforce any source control program requirements for any PA’s
NPDES permits.
The City of San Diego and the PAs intend for all costs relating to the Industrial Pretreatment and Source
Control Program be recovered, to the maximum extent permissible by law, through fees, costs, charges,
and fines billed directly to Industrial Users subject to the Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control
Program, and for such fees, costs, charges, and fines to be reviewed and updated periodically to ensure
maximum cost recovery. These costs include, but are not limited to, costs of permitting, inspection,
compliance monitoring, setting of local limits, source control, and enforcement.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and
consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real
property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal Gov’t Code §87100, et seq.)
Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Page 23 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
P a g e | 6
There is no additional fiscal impact to the City’s Sewer Enterprise Fund in the current fiscal year as a result
of this action. Existing sewer rates generate sufficient revenue to fund ongoing operations, maintenance,
repair, rehabilitation, system expansion, and treatment costs. The Sewer Enterprise Fund is primarily
supported by user fees, and the current rate plan generates sufficient revenue to meet the financial
obligations for wastewater service and equitably recover costs from customers. The current rate plan expires
on June 30, 2026, and will be updated to incorporate the pro-rata share of the Pure Water Program costs as
determined by the Metro JPA.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
The five-year financial plan adopted by the City Council for the period of fiscal year 2021-22 through fiscal
year 2025-26 was developed using a robust and dynamic cash flow model that mirrors the utility’s
accounting structure and operational requirements. The model anticipated potential changes in operating
costs, including increases in wastewater treatment costs associated with the upgrade of City of San Diego’s
Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant (PLWTP). To address future cost impacts beyond the current rate
plan, the Department of Engineering & Capital Projects will initiate an updated sewer rate study in fiscal year
2025-26 to support adoption of a new sewer rate effective July 1, 2026.

City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
b. The City shall determine the unit SSC rates by allocating net costs
Metro System Costs less Metro System Revenues) between parameters of Flow, COD and SS.
This allocation is based on the approved Functional-Design Methodology analyses for individual
Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) and estimated Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs
allocated to the three parameters. The City may revise the calculations to include any other
measurement required by law after the effective date of this Agreement.
c. The net cost allocated to each of the three parameters (Flow, COD
and SS) shall be divided by the total Metro System quantity for that parameter to determine the
unit rates for Flow, COD and SS. These unit rates shall apply uniformly to all Participating
Agencies.
4. Estimate and Billing Schedule and Year End Adjustment
a. Estimate - The City shall estimate the SSC rates on an annual
basis prior to January 15. The City shall quantify the SSC rates by estimating the quantity of
Flow, COD and SS for each party, based on that party's actual flow and the cumulative data of
sampling for COD and SS over the preceding years. If cumulative data is no longer indicative
of discharge from a Participating Agency due to the implementation of methods to reduce
Strength, previous higher readings may be eliminated.
b. Costs of treating Return Flow for solids handling will be allocated
to the Participating Agencies inproportion to their Flow and Strength. Return Flow will not be
counted against the Participating Agencies' Contract Capacity as shown in Exhibit B.
c. SSC Billing Schedule - The City shall bill the Participating
Agencies quarterly, invoicing on August !, November 1 , February 1 and May l . Each bill shall
be paid within thirty (30) days of mailing. Quarterly payments will consist of the total estimated
cost for each Participating Agency, based on their estimated Flow, COD and SS, divided by four.

shall determine the actual Metro System Costs and the actual Flow as well as the cumulative
Strength data for the City and each of the Participating Agencies. The City shall make any
necessary adjustments to the unit rates for Flow, COD and SS based on actual costs for the year.
The City shall then recalculate the SSC for the year using actual costs for the year, actual Flow,
and cumulative Strength factors (COD, SS and Return Flow) for the City and for each
Participating Agency. The City shall credit any future charges or bill for any additional amounts
due, the quarter after the prior year costs have been audited.
C. ECC (Existing Capacity Charge).
Inaddition to paying an SSC, each Participating Agency shall pay an EC C. The
ECC shall be paid only for the period specified inExhibit C. The amount and nature of each
Participating Agency's obligation, and the date on which the obligation shall expire, are set forth

AMENDED AND RESTATED REGIONAL WASTEWATER DISPOSAL AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED REGIONAL WASTEWATER DISPOSAL
AGREEMENT is made and entered into this _____ day of _________________, 20___, by and
between the CITY OF SAN DIEGO, a municipal corporation (“the City”); and the CITY OF
CHULA VISTA, a municipal corporation; the CITY OF CORONADO, a municipal corporation;
the CITY OF DEL MAR, a municipal corporation; the CITY OF EL CAJON, a municipal
corporation; the CITY OF IMPERIAL BEACH, a municipal corporation; the CITY OF LA
MESA, a municipal corporation; the LEMON GROVE SANITATION DISTRICT, a political
subdivision of the State of California; the CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, a municipal corporation;
the CITY OF POWAY, a municipal corporation; the OTAY WATER DISTRICT, a political
subdivision of the State of California; the PADRE DAM MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT, a
political subdivision of the State of California; and the SAN DIEGO COUNTY SANITATION
DISTRICT, a political subdivision of the State of California (the “Participating Agencies”). The
City and the Participating Agencies may be referred to herein individually as a “Party,” and
collectively as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the City and the Participating Agencies (or their predecessors in interest)
entered into that certain Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement dated May 18, 1998 (the
1998 Agreement”), which provided, among other things, for certain contract rights to capacity
in the Metropolitan Sewerage System, a system of wastewater conveyance, treatment, and
disposal facilities (“Metro System”) and the establishment of a mechanism to fund the planning,
design, construction, operation, and maintenance of the Metro System by the City and the
Participating Agencies; and
WHEREAS, the purposes of the 1998 Agreement were: (1) to replace the prior-existing
sewage disposal agreements between the City and the Participating Agencies; (2) to provide
certain contract rights to capacity in the Metro System to the Participating Agencies; (3) to
establish a mechanism to fund the planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of
the Metro System by the City and the Participating Agencies as necessary to provide hydraulic
capacity, and to comply with applicable law and with generally accepted engineering practices;
and (4) to establish a system of charges which allocates the costs of the planning, design and
construction of such new wastewater conveyance, treatment and disposal facilities as are
necessary solely to provide for new capacity on a fair and equitable basis; and
WHEREAS, on April 29, 2014 the San Diego City Council gave its approval and support
for the Pure Water San Diego program by adoption of Resolution No. R-308906. The
Resolution approved and supported the City’s efforts to develop an implementation strategy to
offload wastewater flow from the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant through
implementation of potable reuse, resulting in effluent discharged to the Pacific Ocean being
equivalent to what would be achieved by upgrading the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant
to a secondary treatment plant (secondary equivalency); and
WHEREAS, the City is implementing a phased, multi-year program designed to
regionally produce at least 83 million gallons per day of safe, reliable potable water using new,
23rd July 21
Page 82 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
expanded, or modified facilities, some of which will include Metro System facilities, in order to
achieve secondary equivalency at the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant; and
WHEREAS, the Pure Water Program will not only benefit the City by producing
repurified water, but also the Participating Agencies and their wastewater customers, especially
if secondary equivalency is recognized through federal legislation amending the Clean Water
Act. Specifically, implementation of the Pure Water Program will reduce wastewater discharges
to the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant, part of the Metro System where a large portion
of the Participating Agencies' wastewater is currently treated and disposed by discharging it into
the Pacific Ocean. By diverting wastewater from the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant
and reducing the effluent discharged into the Pacific Ocean, the City and the Participating
Agencies will potentially avoid billions of dollars in unnecessary capital, financing, energy, and
operating costs to upgrade the Point Loma plant to secondary treatment at full capacity.
Avoiding such costs would result in significant savings for regional wastewater customers; and
WHEREAS, the Padre Dam Municipal Water District, the San Diego County Sanitation
District, and the City of El Cajon have proposed a program to produce up to 12 million gallons
per day of safe, reliable potable water for East San Diego County using wastewater that would
otherwise be disposed of in the Metro System ("East County A WP Program"). By offloading
wastewater and wastewater contents from the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant, the East
County A WP Program would, if implemented, help the City's and region's efforts to achieve
long-term compliance with the Clean Water Act by producing a regional annual average of at
least 83 million gallons per day of water suitable for potable reuse by December 31, 2035, as
described in the Cooperative Agreement in Support of Pure Water San Diego entered into by the
City and certain environmental stakeholders on December 9, 2014; and
WHEREAS, Section XIV, subsection B, of the 1998 Agreement provided that the Parties
may amend the Agreement by a written agreement between the City and all Participating
Agencies stating the Parties' intent to amend the Agreement; and
WHEREAS, in order to comprehensively and equitably address the costs and revenues
associated with the Pure Water Program and the related construction, expansion, and/or
modification of Metro System facilities, the City and Participating Agencies wish to amend and
restate the Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement as provided herein.
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein, the City and the
Participating Agencies agree as follows:
I. DEFINITIONS
A. Annual Average Daily Flow is the number, in millions of gallons of wastewater
per day ("MGD"), calculated by dividing total Flow on a fiscal year basis by 365
days.
B. Brine is a waste byproduct of the demineralization process at an upstream Water
Repurification System facility or a Reclaimed Water facility.
C. Capital Expense Rate is the cost per acre foot that will apply if the Metro

City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
System's Capital Improvement Costs for the Pure Water Program and/or
upgrading of the Point Loma WTP to secondary treatment exceed $1.8 billion, as
further described in Exhibit F.
D. Capital Improvement Costs are costs associated with the planning, design,
financing, construction, or reconstruction of facilities.
E. Chemical Oxygen Demand or "COD" means the measure of the chemically
decomposable material in wastewater, as determined by the procedures specified
in the most current edition of "Standard Methods for the Examination for Water
and Wastewater," or any successor publication which establishes the industry
standard.
F. City Water Utility PW Costs are those Pure Water Program costs allocated to
the City's water utility and therefore excluded as Metro System costs under
Exhibit F.
G. Contract Capacity is the contractual light possessed by each Participating
Agency to discharge wastewater into the Metro System pursuant to this
Agreement up to the limit set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto. Contract
Capacity is stated in terms of Annual Average Daily Flow.
H. Flow is the amount of wastewater discharged by the City and each Participating
Agency.
I. Functional-Design Methodology shall mean the process of allocating Operation
and Maintenance Costs and Capital Improvement Costs to Flow and Strength
parameters recognizing the benefits of both the design criteria and the primary
function of a unit process.
J. Metro Commission is the advisory body created under Section VIII.

January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
Capacity set forth in Exhibit B. Each Party's Projected Metro Flow 2050 stated in Exhibit G, is
used solely for the purpose of allocating the Metro System's Pure Water Program Capital
Improvement Costs, Repurified Water Revenue, and the Capital Expense Rate under this
Agreement, and does not replace or limit Contract Capacity.
4.2 Transfers of Contract Capacity.
The Participating Agencies and the City may buy, sell or exchange all or part of
their Contract Capacity among themselves on such terms as they may agree upon. The City shall
be notified prior to any transfer. Any transfer shall be first approved by the City. No Contract
Capacity may be transferred if the City detennines, after consultation with the Participating
Agencies involved in the transaction, that said transfer will unbalance, or will otherwise
adversely impact the City's ability to operate the Metro System. Provided, however, that the
Participating Agency seeking the transfer may offer to cure such imbalance at its own expense.
Following the City's consent, as a ministerial matter, the Contract Capacity set forth in Exhibit B
shall be adjusted to reflect the approved transfer. If necessary, Projected Metro Flow 2050 set
forth in Exhibit G shall also be adjusted to reflect the approved transfer using the process set
forth in Section 3.4.3.1, provided, however, that an amendment to Exhibit G due to an approved
transfer shall not be retroactive in effect pursuant to Section 3.4.3.3.
4.3 Allocation of Additional Capacity.
The Parties recognize that the City's applicable pennits for the Metro System may
be modified to create capacity in the Metro System beyond that set forth in Exhibit B as a result
of the construction of additional facilities or as a result of regulatory action. This additional
capacity shall be allocated as follows:
4.3.1 Except as provided in section 4.3.2 below, in the event that the Metro
System is rerated so that additional permitted capacity is created, said
capacity shall be allocated proportionately based upon the Metro System
charges that have been paid since July I, 1995 to the date of rerating.
4.3.2 In the event that the additional permitted capacity is created as the result
of the construction of non-Metro System facilities, or as the result of the
construction of facilities pursuant to Article VII, such additional capacity
shall be allocated proportionately based on the payments made to plan,
design and construct such facilities.
4.4 Deductions in Contract Capacity.
The Parties further recognize that the Contract Capacity in Exhibit B and
Projected Metro Flow 2050 in Exhibit G may be modified to comply with, or in response to,
applicable permit conditions, or related regulatory action, or sound engineering principles. In the
event that the capacity of the Metro System is rerated to a level below the total capacity set forth
in Exhibit B, the Contract Capacity in Exhibit B and Projected Metro Flow 2050 in Exhibit G
shall be reallocated proportionately pending the acquisition or construction of new facilities. The
City shall acquire or construct such facilities as necessary to provide the Contract Capacity rights

Oxygen Demand (COD) and Suspended Solids (SS)). The analysis
shall be submitted to each Participating Agency.
5.2.3.2 The City shall determine the unit SSC rates by allocating net costs
Metro System Costs less Metro System Revenues) between
parameters of Flow, COD and SS. This allocation is based on the
approved Functional-Design Methodology analyses for individual
Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) and estimated Operation and
Maintenance (O&M) Costs allocated to the three parameters. The
City may revise the calculations to include any other measurement
required by law after the effective date of this Agreement.
5.2.3.3 The net cost allocated to each of the three parameters (Flow, COD

that parameter to determine the unit rates for Flow, COD and SS.
These unit rates shall apply uniformly to all Participating
Agencies.
5.2.4 Estimate and Billing Schedule and Year End Adjustment
5.2.4.1 The City shall estimate the SSC rates on an annual basis prior to
January 15. The City shall quantify the SSC rates by estimating the
quantity of Flow, COD and SS for each Party, based on that
Party's actual flow and the cumulative data of sampling for COD
and SS over the preceding years. If cumulative data is no longer
indicative of discharge from a Participating Agency due to the
implementation of methods to reduce Strength, previous higher
readings may be eliminated.
5 .2.4.2 Costs of treating Return Flow for solids handling will be allocated
to the Participating Agencies in proportion to their Flow and

5.2.4.3 The City shall bill the Participating Agencies quarterly, invoicing
on August I, November I, February I and May I. Each bill shall
be paid within thirty (30) days of mailing. Quarterly payments will
consist of the total estimated cost for each Participating Agency,
based on their estimated Flow, COD and SS, divided by four.
5.2.4.4 At the end of each fiscal year, the City shall determine the actual
Metro System Costs and the actual Flow as well as the cumulative
Strength data for the City and each of the Participating Agencies.
The City shall make any necessary adjustments to the unit rates for
Flow, COD and SS based on actual costs for the year. The City
shall then recalculate the SSC for the year using actual costs for the
year, actual Flow, and cumulative Strength factors (COD, SS and
Return Flow) for the City and for each Participating Agency. The
City shall credit any future charges or bill for any additional
amounts due, the quarter after the prior year costs have been
audited.
NCCC (New Contract Capacity Charge).

Participating Agencies shall promptly meet to renegotiate the violative
component of the cost allocation to comply with Article XIII D, Section 6
of the California Constitution, and use the dispute resolution process in
Article IX of this Agreement if an agreement cannot be reached through

14.3.4.3 Should a state or federal agency provide a final, written
detennination that the method of allocating Pure Water Program Capital

the Parties' actual payments to fund the Pure Water Program Capital
Improvement Costs attributable to the Metro System. The City and the
Participating Agencies shall also promptly meet to negotiate an alternative
cost allocation method that would comply with such grant or loan funding
requirements.

Administrative Protocol on Allocation of Operating Reserves and Debt Service
Coverage to Participating Agencies
BACKGROUND:
In early 2008 the MetroTAC formed a working group in response to the City of San Diego's request for
20 million in funding in FYE 2009 from the Participating Agencles ("PAs") for operating reserves and
debt service coverage. The working group continued to meet with City of San Diego staff regarding the
establishment of a mutually agreed upon protocol through early February 2010. A summary of the City
of San Diego's 2008 proposal and the negotiated 2010 protocol is included as Attachment A.
At its regular meeting of February 17, 2010, the MetroTAC approved the following recommendations to
move to the Finance Committee of the Metro Wastewater JPA and thereafter to the Metro Commission/
Metro Wastewater JPA for discussion and action:
Proceed with PAs funding a 1.2 debt service ratio coverage
Proceed with PAs funding a 45 day operating reserves
The PAs will fund no other reserves
FY07 and FY08 refund monies will be used to fund the operating reserves
Interest accrual on operating reserves and undesignated accounts will start with FY1O (beginning
on July 1, 2009)
The Finance Committee of the Metro Wastewater JPA, at its February 24, 2010 meeting, took action to
recommend approval of the above, by the Metro Commission/ Metro Wastewater JPA. At its March 4,
2010 meeting, the Metro Commission/ Metro Wastewater JPA, comprised of representatives of the PAs,
approved the components of the negotiated policy, with the understanding that any such policy would
serve as an administrative protocol regarding the allocation of debt service coverage to the PAs and
funding of operating reserves by the PAs.
PROTOCOL REGARDING PA FUNDING OF OPERA TING RESERVES:
Background:
Operating reserves are established to provide funding for unforeseen events that might occur during the
course of the fiscal year such as unforeseen major maintenance or capital projects. The PAs performed a
survey of other regional wholesale agencies and determined that agencies such as the San Diego County
Water Authority maintain a 45 day operating reserves. Although the City of San Diego's current policy is
to increase operating reserves for its retail customers from 45 to 70 days, the City realizes that if a major
maintenance incident should occur it can immediately request payment from the PAs per the Regional
Wastewater Disposal Agreement. The City of San Diego's retail customer's rates cannot be immediately
increased due to Proposition 218 requirements for noticing and public hearings,
Protocol:
Attachment Bis a summary of the funding strategy showing each PAs 2007 and 2008 refunds based on
recent City Metro Wastewater Exhibit E audits. The refunds will be used to fund the PAs 45 day
operating reserves contribution. In the majority of cases most PAs will see a refund even after they have

fully funded their portion of the operating reserves. PAs that do not have adequate refunds will be )
billed for their portion of the reserve in the next quarterly 2010 billing. The operating reserves for each
fiscal year will be established based on 45 days of operating revenues as determined by the following
formula:
Fiscal Year Estimated Operating Expenses (not including CIP and debt service] X 45 days
365 days
The number of days included in the calculation cannot be changed without prior consent of the PAs,
The operating reserves will be maintained by the City of San Diego and interest will accrue on a monthly
basis based on actual interest rates on the City's investments. This interest revenue will be added to the
PAs undesignated fund balance for that fiscal year. As part of each year's Exhibit E audit the actual
required operating reserves and interest earned on it will be determined and audited by the City of San
Diego's external auditors and PA representatives. A summary of the operating reserves balance and
interest earned for each PA will be included as a footnote or attachment to the City Metro Wastewater
Exhibit E Audit.
PROTOCOL REGARDING ALLOCATION OF DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE TO PAs
Background:
A 1.2 debt service coverage ratio is a requirement for all of the outstanding Metro parity debt. A cash
flow prepared by the City of San Diego shows (Attachment C) that if the PAs are billed at the current
level ($65 million annually to cover the PAs portion of operations, pay-go capital, and debt service
expense) for the next three to five years that this requirement can be achieved without additional
contributions by the PAs. This provides the PAs a stable projected annual Metro contribution for the
next three to five years.
Protocol:
The PAs will maintain through annual contributions and use of PA undesignated fund balance a positive
cash flow not to exceed 1.2 times the PA share of the required annual debt service on Metro Debt. The
debt service coverage ratio of 1.2 cannot be changed without prior consent of the PAs.
The undesignated fund balance will be maintained by the City of San Diego and interest will accrue on a
monthly basis based on actual interest rates on the City's investments. This interest revenue will be
added to the PAs undesignated fund balance for that fiscal year.
As part of each year's Exhibit E audit the actual required reserve coverage and interest earned on the
undesignated fund balance will be determined and audited by the City of San Diego's external auditors
and PA representatives. A summary of the debt service coverage requirement and portion of interest
earned on the undesignated fund balance for each PA will be included as a footnote or attachment to
the City Metro Wastewater Exhibit E Audit.
If the cash flow in any year does not provide the required 1.2 debt service coverage the PAs will be billed
the additional required revenue including interest.

included as Metro System Costs for purposes of calculating the annual Sewer System Charge
and therefore not qualify as City Water Utility PW Costs):
2.1 Costs for chemically enhanced primary treatment for up to 52 mgd capacity.
2.2 Costs for primary effluent equalization for up to 52 mgd capacity.
2.3 Costs for increased volume of aeration tanks that will provide up to, but not
exceeding, 52 mgd capacity. Determination of sizing to provide 52 mgd capacity shall be based
on the current tank volume necessary to provide 30 mgd capacity.
2.4 Costs to add secondary clarifier tanks sufficient for up to 52 mgd capacity.
2.5 Costs for wastewater conveyance facilities to provide wastewater for replacement
of centrate flows that cannot be treated at the North City Water Reclamation Plant due to the
production of Repurified Water.
2.6 Costs for treatment and conveyance of all return flows (micro-filtration and
tertiary backwash) based on Flow, COD, and SS.
III. Cost Allocation Example
Attachment I is an example of the City's Pure Water Phase I Cost Estimate (based on
60% design), and indicates which costs are City Water Utility PW Costs and which costs are
attributable to the Metro System. The Parties agree that Attachment I is an illustrative document
to assist the Parties in the future and is not a comprehensive list of all such costs. If there is any
conflict between this Exhibit F and Attachment 1, or if a specific cost is not addressed in
Attachment 1, this Exhibit F shall control.
IV. Revenue Sharing for Repurified Water
4.1 Background. Initially, the parties anticipate that the cost per acre foot associated
with the production ofRepurified Water will be more expensive than the cost per acre foot of
untreated imported water. However, it is anticipated that Repurified Water produced under the
Pure Water Program will be less expensive than untreated imported water sometime in the
future. Once Repurified Water produced under the Pure Water Program becomes less expensive
60409.00001\30398144.1 6 2
Page 146 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
than the cost of untreated imported water, the parties agree that there will be revenue from the
Pure Water Program.
4.2 Calculation. Revenue sharing shall occur in each fiscal year during which the
annual cost per acre foot associated with the production of Repurified Water is less than the cost
of untreated water per acre foot from the San Diego County Water Authority ("CWA"). The
annual cost difference shall be known as "Repurified Water Revenue." Repurified Water
Revenue shall be detennined as follows:
Annual cost per acre foot of CWA untreated water
purchased by the City for delivery at Miramar Reservoir (which
shall be determined based on the total of certain fixed and variable
costs for water actually billed to the City by CW A for water
delivered at Miramar Reservoir in a fiscal year, divided by the
number of acre-feet of CWA water delivered at Miramar Reservoir
that year)
less
Annual cost per acre foot of City Water Utility PW Costs
which shall be determined based on total annual City Water
Utility PW Costs divided by the number of acre-feet of Repurified
Water actually produced in that year)
multiplied by
The number of acre feet of Repurified Water produced by
Pure Water Program facilities during the applicable fiscal year.
Attachment 2 is a summary of billings from CWA showing fixed and variable costs for
untreated water. The Parties agree that Attachment 2 shall be referred to by the Parties in the
future in determining how costs for water delivered at Miramar Reservoir are calculated. If no
untreated water is delivered at Miramar Reservoir in a given year, then the closest point of
delivery of untreated water to the City shall be used.
The City shall estimate whether there will be Repurified Water Revenue in the upcoming
fiscal year prior to January 15 of each year, and the estimated amount of Repurified Water
Revenue shall be effective on July 1 of the upcoming fiscal year.
4.3 Revenue Sharing. Repurified Water Revenue shall initially be shared based on
the relative actual Capital Improvement Costs for the Pure Water Program contributed by City's
Water Utility and the Metro System. Such Capital Improvement Cost contributions are currently
estimated as (61 % City Water Utility and 39% Metro System) until the debt attributable to the
Metro System is fully paid.
Following full payment of debt attributable to the Metro System, Repurified Water
Revenue shall be shared based on the relative actual Operation and Maintenance Costs for Pure
Water Program facilities contributed by City's Water Utility and the Metro System, calculated
60409.0000! IJ0)98144. l 6 3
Page 147 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
annually. Such Operation and Maintenance Costs are currently estimated as (76% City Water
Utility and 24% Metro System) on an annual basis.
4.4 Year-End Adjustment. At the end of each fiscal year during which there is
Repmified Water Revenue, the City shall determine the actual cost per acre foot of CW A
untreated water purchased by the City, the actual cost per acre foot of City Water Utility PW
costs, and the actual amount ofRepurified Water produced at Pure Water Program facilities.
Based on the actual cost and production infonnation, the City will recalculate the
Repurified Water Revenue for the prior fiscal year. The City will credit any future charges or
bill for any additional amounts due the quarter after the prior year costs have been audited.
4.5 Change in Potable Reuse Method. The parties acknowledge that the Pure Water
Program will initially use the surface water augmentation method of potable reuse. The nse of
CW A untreated water costs in calculating Repurified Water Revenue is intended to provide an
appropriate point of comparison to costs for producing Repurified Water that will be introduced
into surface water. The parties agree that if the City implements direct potable reuse (in which
Repurified Water is introduced directly into a water supply pipeline or facility), the parties shall
meet and negotiate in good faith regarding an amendment to this Exhibit F to appropriately
update the formula for Repurified Water Revenue.
V. Capital Expense Rate
5.1 Background. The Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant operates under a
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") permit modified under section
301(h) & (j)(5) of the Clean Water Act. If such modified permit were ever revoked or not
renewed, the parties agree that, under current law, the City would have an obligation to upgrade
the Point Loma WTP to secondary treatment. The parties further agree that $1.8 billion is a fair
and comprehensive estimation of the costs that could be incurred by the Metro System to meet
the legal requirements related to the Metro System under current law. The estimate of $1.8
billion is based on the net present value of the capital cost to develop 180 MGD of secondary
treatment at Point Loma WTP as of November 15, 2018.
Therefore, the parties agree that $1.8 billion represents the maximum amount of Capital
Improvement Costs that the Metro System should be obligated to contribute to the Pure Water
Program, the purpose of which is not solely the disposal of wastewater, but also the production
ofRepurified Water. The parties agree that this$ 1.8 billion maximum contribution should apply
whether or not the Point Loma WTP is actually upgraded to secondary treatment to meet legal
requirements in the future because, as of the date of the Agreement, the parties have the option of
upgrading the Point Loma WTP to full secondary treatment for the cost of approximately $1.8
billion.
In light of the above, the parties have agreed that if Metro System costs related to the
Pure Water Program exceed the$ 1.8 billion, City's Water Utility will pay a charge for each acre
foot of secondary treated effluent produced by Metro System facilities and used for the
production ofRepurified Water.
5.2 Capital Expense Rate. Under the circumstances described below, City's Water
60409.00001\30398144 16 4
Page 148 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
Utility shall pay a charge ("Capital Expense Rate") for each acre-foot of secondary treated
effluent produced by Metro System facilities and used for the production ofRepurified Water.
City's Water Utility shall pay the Capital Expense Rate if the following costs alone, or in
combination, exceed $1.8 billion (which amount shall be adjusted for inflation):
a) the sum of all Capital Improvement Costs and associated debt attributable
to the Metro System components of the Pure Water Program under this Exhibit F; and/or
b) the sum of all Capital Improvement Costs and associated debt for the full
or partial upgrading of the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant to secondary treatment.
Notwithstanding the above, the Capital Expense Rate shall not apply if the Point Loma
WTP is actually upgraded to secondary treatment (or beyond) due to: (a) a change in federal or
state statutory law making it necessary to upgrade the Point Loma WTP to comply with such
new discharge standard; or (b) a final decision by a state or federal court or a federal
administrative agency of competent jurisdiction that an NPDES pennit modified under section
301(h) & (j)(5) of the Clean Water Act is thereby revoked or denied renewal due to a finding that
the discharge from the Point Loma WTP violates anti-degradation rules or regulations
promulgated under section 403 of the Clean Water Act.
5.3 Calculation of Capital Expense Rate. The amount per acre-foot of the Capital
Expense Rate shall be determined as follows:
The sum of all Capital Improvement Costs and associated
debt attributable to (i) the Metro System components of the Pure
Water Program under this Exhibit F and (ii) upgrading of the Point
Loma WTP to secondary treatment (if any)
less
1.8 billion, as adjusted for inflation each July I (starting on July
I, 2019) to reflect the annual percentage change in the Engineering
News Record --Los Angeles construction cost index
multiplied by
1.42 (which estimates the total interest on a 30-year State
Revolving Fund loan with an interest rate of2.5%)
@nd divided_by
The total number of acre feet per year of secondary treated effluent
that is expected to be produced by Metro System facilities for the
production ofRepurified Water over a period of thirty (30) years.
The City shall estimate whether the Capital Expense Rate shall apply to the upcoming
fiscal year (and its amount) prior to January 15 of each year, and the estimated amount of the
Capital Expense Rate shall be effective on July I of the upcoming fiscal year.
60409.00001\30398144.16 5
Page 149 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
For purposes of this Article V of Exhibit F, Capital Improvement Costs and associated
debt shall include such costs incurred by the Metro System prior to the effective date of the
Agreement.
5.4 Year-End Adjustment
At the end of each fiscal year during which the Capital Expense Rate applies, the City
shall determine the actual Capital Improvement Costs and associated debt attributable to the
Metro System components of the Pure Water Program under this Exhibit F and any upgrading of
the Point Loma WTP to secondary treatment, the then-applicable interest amount for outstanding
loans for the Metro System components of the Pure Water Program and Point Loma WTP
upgrades, and the actual amount of secondary treated effluent produced by Metro System
facilities and used for the production of Repurified Water.
Based on the actual cost, interest, and effluent information, the City will recalculate the
Capital Expense Rate for the prior fiscal year. The City will credit any future charges or bill for
any additional amounts due the quarter after the prior year costs have been audited.
5.5 Duration; Expiration
The duration and expiration of the Capital Expense Rate is set forth in Section 13 .4 of the
Agreement.

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED REGIONAL WASTEWATER DISPOSAL
AGREEMENT
THIS SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED REGIONAL WASTEWATER
DISPOSAL AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into this ___ day of
20___, by and between the CITY OF SAN DIEGO, a municipal corporation
the “City”), on the one hand; and the CITY OF CHULA VISTA, a municipal corporation; the
CITY OF CORONADO, a municipal corporation; the CITY OF DEL MAR, a municipal
corporation; the CITY OF EL CAJON, a municipal corporation; the CITY OF IMPERIAL
BEACH, a municipal corporation; the CITY OF LA MESA, a municipal corporation; the LEMON
GROVE SANITATION DISTRICT, a political subdivision of the State of California; the CITY
OF NATIONAL CITY, a municipal corporation; the CITY OF POWAY, a municipal corporation;
the OTAY WATER DISTRICT, a political subdivision of the State of California; the PADRE
DAM MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT, a political subdivision of the State of California; and
the SAN DIEGO COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT, a political subdivision of the State of
California (collectively, the “Participating Agencies”), on the other hand. The City and the
Participating Agencies may be referred to herein individually as a “Party,” and collectively as the
Parties.”
WHEREAS, the City and the Participating Agencies (or their predecessors in interest)
entered into that certain Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement dated May 18, 1998 (the “1998
Agreement”), which provided, among other things, for certain contract rights to capacity in the
Metropolitan Sewerage System, a system of wastewater conveyance, treatment, and disposal
facilities (“Metro System”) and the establishment of a mechanism to fund the planning, design,
construction, operation, and maintenance of the Metro System by the City and the Participating
Agencies; and
WHEREAS, the purposes of the 1998 Agreement were: (1) to replace the prior-existing
sewage disposal agreements between the City and the Participating Agencies; (2) to provide
certain contract rights to capacity in the Metro System to the Participating Agencies; (3) to
establish a mechanism to fund the planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of
the Metro System by the City and the Participating Agencies as necessary to provide hydraulic
capacity, and to comply with applicable law and with generally accepted engineering practices;
and (4) to establish a system of charges which allocates the costs of the planning, design and
construction of such new wastewater conveyance, treatment and disposal facilities as are necessary
solely to provide for new capacity on a fair and equitable basis; and
WHEREAS, on April 29, 2014 the San Diego City Council gave its approval and support
for the Pure Water San Diego program by adoption of Resolution No. R-308906, which approved
and supported the City’s efforts to develop an implementation strategy to offload wastewater flow
from the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant through implementation of potable reuse,
resulting in effluent discharged to the Pacific Ocean being equivalent to what would be achieved
by upgrading the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant to a secondary treatment plant
secondary equivalency); and

4907-3419-6844
WHEREAS, the City is implementing a phased, multi-year program designed to achieve
compliance with the Clean Water Act and regionally produce up to 83 million gallons per day of
safe, reliable potable water using new, expanded, or modified facilities, some of which will include
Metro System facilities, in order to achieve secondary equivalency at the Point Loma Wastewater
Treatment Plant; and
WHEREAS, the Pure Water Program will not only benefit the City by producing repurified
water, but also the Participating Agencies and their wastewater customers, especially if secondary
equivalency is recognized through federal legislation amending the Clean Water Act. Specifically,
implementation of the Pure Water Program will reduce wastewater discharges to the Point Loma
Wastewater Treatment Plant, part of the Metro System where a large portion of the Participating
Agencies’ wastewater is currently treated and disposed by discharging it into the Pacific Ocean.
By diverting wastewater from the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant and reducing the
effluent discharged into the Pacific Ocean, the City and the Participating Agencies will potentially
avoid billions of dollars in unnecessary capital, financing, energy, and operating costs to upgrade
the Point Loma plant to secondary treatment at full capacity. Avoiding such costs would result in
significant savings for regional wastewater customers and achieve environmental benefits by
reducing ocean discharge; and
WHEREAS, on or around November 2019, the East County Advanced Water Purification
Joint Powers Authority (the “ECAWP JPA”) was created to implement a potable reuse program
to improve local and regional water supply reliability to supply advanced treated recycled water
to East San Diego County through the East County Advanced Water Purification Project (the
ECAWP Project”). The ECAWP Project is planned to capture and treat approximately 15
million gallons per day of wastewater that would otherwise be disposed of in the Metro System to
produce an annual average supply of approximately 11.5 million gallons per day of new local
drinking water. By diverting some wastewater and wastewater content away from the Metro
System, the ECAWP Project has the ability to aid and contribute towards the City and region’s
efforts to produce a regional annual average of up to 83 million gallons per day of water suitable
for potable reuse by December 31, 2035, as described in the Cooperative Agreement in Support of
Pure Water San Diego executed by the City and certain environmental stakeholders on December 9,
2014. The ECAWP Project includes a residuals bypass system that will convey RSDP (as defined
herein) from the advanced water purification facility, and Centrate from the solids dewatering
process of the solids handling facility, to an existing regional sewage gravity pipeline owned and
operated by the City for treatment and disposal; and
WHEREAS, effective on or around August 22, 2021, the City and the Participating
Agencies amended the 1998 Agreement by executing an Amended and Restated Regional
Wastewater Disposal Agreement (the “ARA”) to address the costs and revenues associated with
Phase 1 of the Pure Water Program, including specific cost allocations related to the construction,
expansion, and/or modification of Metro System facilities and Water Repurification System
facilities designed to produce up to 30 million gallons per day of Repurified Water (“Phase 1”).
The ARA provided that within one year of its effective date, the Parties intended to meet and
negotiate in good faith regarding one or more amendments to the ARA or to its Exhibits to address
multiple outstanding items described in Section 2.9 of the ARA; and

WHEREAS, Section 14.2 of the ARA provided that the Parties may amend the ARA by a
written agreement between the City and all Participating Agencies stating the Parties’ intent to
amend or supplement the agreement; and
WHEREAS, in an effort to address in good faith the outstanding items described in
Section 2.9 of the ARA, and comprehensively and equitably address the costs, revenues, and
billing system associated with the Pure Water Program and the related construction, expansion,
and/or modification of Metro System facilities beyond Phase 1, the City and Participating

under this section shall be treated as Pooled Capacity after the effective date of an agreement
between the City and that Participating Agency. This section does not apply to Inter-Agency
transfers of Contract Capacity, which involve the relinquished Contract Capacity being assigned
to and assumed by another Participating Agency or the City. Inter-Agency transfers are governed
by Section 3.2
2.3.4 Flow Projections. Currently, the Projected Future Strength and Flow
Amounts are projected to the year 2050 in order to allow the Parties time to plan for future
development and growth. However, these projections may be amended from time to time through
the Exhibit B amendment processes in this Agreement to more fairly align with actual flow and
strength data. The parties shall begin discussion to recalculate the Projected Future Strength and
Flow Amounts set forth in Exhibit B by no later than January 1, 2040.
2.4 Funding Obligations. The City shall fund the acquisition, construction,
maintenance and/or operation of the Metro System from monies in (or sewer revenues which
populate) the Sewer Revenue Fund for the Metro System, and/or from construction funds derived

5.2.1.5 Costs for capital improvements, capital replacement, and
rehabilitation costs including financing shall be based on the approved Functional-Design
Methodology and the Contract Capacity in Exhibit B.
5.2.1.6 The net cost allocated to each of the parameters shall be divided
by the total Metro System quantity for that parameter to determine the unit rates for each parameter.
These unit rates shall apply uniformly to all Parties.
5.3 Metro System Costs. The following shall at a minimum be considered Metro
System Costs for purposes of calculating the annual FAB rate:
5.3.1 Except as provided in Section 5.4 (Excluded Costs), the annual Operation
and Maintenance Costs and annual costs associated with administration, replacement, annual debt
service costs and other periodic financing costs and charges, capital improvement, insurance
premiums, claims payments and claims administration costs of the Metro System, including
projected overhead, shall be calculated using generally accepted accounting practices to reflect the
costs of the Metro System.
5.3.2 Fines or penalties imposed on the City as a result of the operation of the
Metro System, unless the fine/penalty is allocated to the City or a Participating Agency as provided
in Section 2.5.5.

5.7.4 The City shall bill the Participating Agencies quarterly, invoicing on
August 1, November 1, February 1 and May 1. Each bill shall be paid within thirty (30) days of
mailing. Quarterly payments will consist of the total estimated cost for each Participating Agency,
based on their estimated Flow, Strength, and Fixed Capacity Charges, divided by four.
5.7.5 At the end of each fiscal year, the City shall determine the actual Metro
System Costs and the actual Metered Flow as well as the cumulative Strength data for the City and
each of the Participating Agencies. The City shall make any necessary adjustments to the unit rates
for Flow and Strength such as COD, TSS and Fixed Capacity Charges based on actual costs for
the year as determined through the annual audit process in Section 5.8.2 of this Agreement. The
City shall then recalculate the FAB rate for the year using actual audited costs for the year, actual
Metered Flow, Residuals, MBC Return, cumulative Strength factors, and Fixed Capacity Charges
for the City and for each Participating Agency. The City shall credit any future charges or bill for
any additional amounts due against the quarter after the prior year costs have been audited.
5.8 Financial Statements.
5.8.1 The City shall keep records and accounts of all costs and expenses relating
to conveyance, treatment, disposal, and reuse of wastewater, and production of Repurified Water,
and the acquisition, planning, design, construction, administration, monitoring, operation and
maintenance of the Metro System and Water Repurification System, and any grants, loans, or other
revenues received therefor. The City shall keep such records and accounts for at least four (4) years
after the completed audit, or for any longer period required by law or outside funding sources.
5.8.2 Annual Audit. Said records and accounts shall be subject to reasonable
inspection by any authorized representative of any Participating Agency at its expense. Further,
said accounts and records shall be audited annually by an independent certified public accounting
firm appointed by the City. A copy of said report shall be available to any Participating Agency.
As part of said audit, the actual amount of City Water Utility’s PW Costs, Pure Water Program
costs attributable to the Metro System, Repurified Water Revenue, and the Capital Expense Rate
shall be determined and audited by the City’s external auditors and Participating Agency
representatives, and a cumulative and annual summary of such amounts shall be included as a
footnote or attached to the audit of the Metro System. Cost summaries shall include separate lines
for Capital Improvement Costs and Operation and Maintenance Costs.
5.8.3 The City shall make a good faith effort to complete the annual audit, and

6.3.1.3 Costs for the demolition or replacement of existing Metro System
facilities with similar facilities for the purpose of making space available for Water Repurification
System facilities. Such costs may consider the current asset value or market value of the existing
Metro System facility.
6.3.2 Cost Exclusions Specific to North City Water Reclamation Plant
Improvements:
6.3.2.1 Costs for increased aeration tank volume to the extent the new
volume exceeds the amount necessary to provide 52 MGD capacity. Determination of sizing to
provide 52 MGD capacity shall be based on the current tank volume necessary to provide 30 MGD
capacity.
6.3.2.2 Costs for the methanol feed system.
6.3.2.3 Costs for RSDP disposal, including, but not limited to, pump
stations, pipelines, retreatment, ocean outfall, and monitoring.
6.3.2.4 Costs for the use of existing tertiary water filters for Repurified
Water purposes. Such costs may consider the depreciated value of such filters or use such other
appropriate valuation methods as agreed by the City and authorized representatives of the Metro
JPA. Costs under this section shall be reimbursed or credited by City’s Water Utility to the Metro
System.
6.4 North City Water Reclamation Plant Improvement Costs Included as Metro System
Costs. Notwithstanding the above exclusions, the City and the Participating Agencies have
specifically agreed that the following Capital Improvement Costs and Operation and Maintenance
Costs related to North City Water Reclamation Plant improvements shall be included as Metro
System Costs for purposes of calculating the annual FAB rate (and therefore not qualify as City
Water Utility PW Costs):
6.4.1 Costs for chemically enhanced primary treatment for up to 52 MGD
capacity.
6.4.2 Costs for primary effluent equalization for up to 52 MGD capacity.
6.4.3 Costs for increased volume of aeration tanks that will provide up to, but not
exceeding, 52 MGD capacity.
6.4.4 Costs to add secondary clarifier tanks sufficient for up to 52 MGD capacity.
6.4.5 Costs for wastewater conveyance facilities to provide wastewater for
replacement of Centrate flows that cannot be treated at the North City Water Reclamation Plant
due to the production of Repurified Water.
6.4.6 Costs for treatment and conveyance of all MBC Return (micro-filtration and
tertiary backwash) based on Flow, COD, and TSS.

6.5 Reallocation of PWP Costs incurred since FY 2014.
6.5.1 The allocation of Pure Water Program costs, retroactive to June 30, 2014,
will be calculated the year the Agreement goes into effect, will be completed no less than two
fiscal years following the production of 30 MGD by Phase 1 of the Pure Water Program.
6.5.1.1 All the O&M task orders, or costs that cannot be directly assigned
to a PWP Phase 1 capital improvement project such as program management, environmental
documents, etc., will be reallocated by the final water/wastewater cost split, and will include
interest accruing since June 2014 at the interest rate earned by the City of San Diego for each
applicable fiscal year as shown by the sample interest calculation included in Exhibit G, Sample
of Interest Calculation. This postpones the reconciliation of costs until the substantial completion
of all construction projects for Phase 1 (City Water Utility PW Costs and Metro). This
reconciliation will be performed during the audit of the fiscal year in which substantial completion
of all projects occurs.
6.5.1.2 All Phase 1 PWP CIP projects were bid and awarded by October
2022 which is FY2023. All shared Phase 1 CIP projects will be reallocated to the actual
construction cost split once the project is awarded, and the cost loaded CPM is completed and
negotiated between the City and the Participating Agencies during the FY2023 audit. All CIP soft
costs incurred since 2014 will be reallocated like the O&M task orders during the audit of the year
of substantial completion of the actual Phase 1 CIP projects. If interest is owed to the Metro
System for soft costs starting in FY 2014, such interest shall be considered Metro System Revenues
consistent with Section 5.5.5.
6.6 Revenue Sharing for Repurified Water.
6.6.1 Background. Initially, the Parties anticipate that the cost per acre foot
associated with the production of Repurified Water will be more expensive than the cost per acre
foot of untreated imported water. However, it is anticipated that Repurified Water produced under
Phase 1 will be less expensive than untreated imported water sometime in the future. Once
Repurified Water produced under Phase 1 becomes less expensive than the cost of untreated
imported water, the Parties agree that there will be revenue from the Pure Water Program.
6.6.2 Calculation. Revenue sharing shall occur in each fiscal year during which
the annual cost per acre foot associated with the production of Repurified Water is less than the
cost of untreated water per acre foot from the San Diego County Water Authority (“CWA”). The
annual cost difference shall be known as “Repurified Water Revenue.” Repurified Water
Revenue shall be determined as follows:
Page 191 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
29 -
10-23-25
4907-3419-6844
Annual cost per acre foot of CWA untreated water purchased by the City for
delivery at Miramar Reservoir (which shall be determined based on the total costs for water
actually billed to the City by CWA for water delivered at Miramar Reservoir in a fiscal
year, divided by the number of acre-feet of CWA water delivered at Miramar Reservoir
that year)
less
Annual cost per acre-foot of City Water Utility PW Costs (which shall be
determined based on total annual City Water Utility PW Costs divided by the number of
acre-feet of Repurified Water actually produced in that year)
the result of which is multiplied by
The number of acre feet of Repurified Water produced by Pure Water Program
facilities during the applicable fiscal year.
Exhibit H, Summary of Billings from County Water Authority Showing Costs for
Untreated Water, is a summary of the most recent CWA rate structure and cost allocations to the
City of San Diego for untreated water. The Parties agree that Exhibit H shall be referred to by the
Parties in the future in determining how costs for water delivered at Miramar Reservoir are
calculated. If no untreated water is delivered at Miramar Reservoir in a given year, then the closest
point of delivery of untreated water to the City shall be used. The City shall annually update
Exhibit H to reflect the most recent CWA rate structure and cost allocations to the City of San
Diego.
The City shall estimate whether there will be Repurified Water Revenue in the upcoming
fiscal year prior to January 15 of each year, and these amounts shall be incorporated into the budget
estimates for the upcoming fiscal year to all Parties.
6.6.3 Revenue Sharing. Repurified Water Revenue shall initially be shared
between the City’s Water Utility and the Metro System based on the relative actual Capital
Improvement Costs for the Pure Water Program contributed by City’s Water Utility and the Metro
System. Such Capital Improvement Cost contributions are currently estimated as 62% City’s
Water Utility and 38% Metro System. The Metro System’s portion of the Repurified Water
Revenue shall be applied to debt attributable to the Metro System first, until the debt attributable
to the Metro System is fully paid.
Following full payment of debt attributable to the Metro System, Repurified Water
Revenue shall be shared based on the relative actual Operation and Maintenance Costs for Pure
Water Program facilities contributed by City’s Water Utility and the Metro System, calculated
annually. Such Operation and Maintenance Costs are currently estimated as 76% City’s Water
Utility and 24% Metro System on an annual basis.

In all instances referred to in this Section 6.6.3, the Metro System portion of the Repurified
Water Revenue shall be allocated among the City and the Participating Agencies consistent with
Section 4.4.2.
6.6.4 Year-End Adjustment. At the end of each fiscal year during which there is
Repurified Water Revenue, the City shall determine the actual cost per acre foot of CWA untreated
water purchased by the City, the actual cost per acre foot of City Water Utility PW Costs, and the
actual amount of Repurified Water produced at Pure Water Program facilities.
Based on the actual cost and production information, the City will recalculate the
Repurified Water Revenue for the prior fiscal year. The City will credit any future charges or bill
for any additional amounts due the quarter after the prior year costs have been audited.
6.6.5 Change in Potable Reuse Method. The Parties acknowledge that the Pure
Water Program Phase 1 will initially use indirect potable reuse surface water augmentation. The
use of CWA untreated water costs in calculating Repurified Water Revenue is intended to provide
an appropriate point of comparison to costs for producing Repurified Water that will be introduced
into surface water. The Parties agree that if the City desires to implement direct potable reuse (in
which Repurified Water would be introduced directly into a water supply pipeline or facility), the
Parties shall meet and negotiate in good faith regarding an amendment to this Section 6.6, to
appropriately update the formula for Repurified Water Revenue, which form of amendment shall
occur via an Administrative Agreement and shall be subject to the Joint Administrative Approval
Process set forth in Section 15.
6.7 Capital Expense Rate.
6.7.1 Background. The Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant operates under
a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) permit modified under
section 301(h) & (j)(5) of the Clean Water Act. If such modified permit were ever revoked or not
renewed, the Parties agree that, under current law, the City would have an obligation to upgrade
the PLWTP to secondary treatment. The Parties further agree that $1.8 billion is a fair and
comprehensive estimation of the costs that could be incurred by the Metro System to meet the
legal requirements related to the Metro System under current law. The estimate of $1.8 billion is
based on the net present value of the capital cost to develop 180 MGD of secondary treatment at
PLWTP as of November 15, 2018.
Therefore, the Parties agree that $1.8 billion represents the maximum amount of Capital
Improvement Costs that the Metro System should be obligated to contribute to the Pure Water
Program, the purpose of which is not solely the disposal of wastewater, but also the production of
Repurified Water. The Parties agree that this $1.8 billion maximum contribution should apply
whether or not the PLWTP is actually upgraded to secondary treatment to meet legal requirements
in the future because, as of the date of the Agreement, the Parties have the option of upgrading the
PLWTP to full secondary treatment for the cost of approximately $1.8 billion.
In light of the above, the Parties have agreed that if Metro System costs related to the Pure
Water Program exceed the $1.8 billion, City’s Water Utility will pay a charge for each acre foot

Repurified Water.
Capital Expense Rate”) for each acre-foot of secondary
treated effluent produced by Metro System facilities and used for the production of Repurified
Water. The Capital Expense Rate costs or revenues attributable to the Metro System shall be
assessed or credited consistent with Section 4.4.2. City’s Water Utility shall pay the Capital
Expense Rate if the following costs alone, or in combination, exceed $1.8 billion (which amount
shall be adjusted for inflation):

The total number of acre feet per year of secondary treated effluent that is
expected to be produced by Metro System facilities for the production of
Repurified Water over a period of thirty (30) years.
The City shall estimate whether the Capital Expense Rate shall apply to the upcoming fiscal
year (and its amount) prior to January 15 of each year, and the estimated amount of the Capital
Expense Rate shall be effective on July 1 of the upcoming fiscal year.
For purposes of this Section 6.7.3, Capital Improvement Costs and associated debt shall
include such costs and revenue incurred by the Metro System prior to the effective date of the
Agreement.
6.7.4 Year-End Adjustment. At the end of each fiscal year during which the
Capital Expense Rate applies, the City shall determine the actual Capital Improvement Costs and
associated debt attributable to the Metro System components of the Pure Water Program under
this Section 6 and any upgrading of the PLWTP to secondary treatment, and the actual amount of
secondary treated effluent produced by Metro System facilities and used for the production of
Repurified Water.
Based on the actual cost, interest, and effluent information, the City will recalculate the
Capital Expense Rate for the prior fiscal year. The City will credit any future charges or bill for
any additional amounts due the quarter after the prior year costs have been audited.
6.7.5 Duration; Expiration. The Capital Expense Rate shall continue until the cost
difference between (a) the actual sum of Pure Water Program Capital Improvement Costs and
associated debt attributable to the Metro System under Section 6.7 and/or the costs to upgrade the
PLWTP and (b) $1.8 billion (as adjusted for inflation), has been fully paid, or the Agreement
expires, whichever is sooner. Notwithstanding, it is the express intent and desire of the City and
the Participating Agencies that if the Agreement expires before the cost difference has been paid
through the Capital Expense Rate, that the Capital Expense Rate continue in any extension of this
Agreement negotiated by the Parties pursuant to Section 14.2 until the cost difference has been
fully paid.
6.8 Amending Pure Water Program Cost Allocation and Revenues – Phase 1. Except
as otherwise provided in Section 6.6.2, the Parties may amend any provision in this Section 6
regarding the Finance, Budgeting, and Accounting for the Pure Water Program Cost Allocation
and Revenues for Phase 1 in an Administrative Agreement subject to the Joint Administrative
Approval Process set forth in Section 15.

must reflect terms that conceptually mimic the terms in Section 6.7, reflecting a continuation of
the Capital Expense Rate through Phase 2 up until the PWP achieves up to 83 MGD of Repurified
Water, taking into account production of water suitable for potable reuse occurring at all treatment
processes for wastewater upstream from and at the PLWTP. The Pure Water Program Capital
Expense Rate costs or revenues attributable to the Metro System shall be assessed or credited
consistently with Section 4.4.2, as may be amended or updated to account for changes in PWP
Phase 2.
8. FUTURE NEGOTIATIONS AND COOPERATION
9. THE METRO COMMISSION
Establishment and Membership. The 1998 Agreement created and established
and the ARA reestablished) the Metro Commission as a commission consisting of one
representative from each Participating Agency. On October 25, 2000, the Participating Agencies
entered into a Joint Exercise of Power Agreement which created a separate public entity, the Metro
Wastewater Joint Powers Authority (“Metro JPA”), for the purpose, among others, of taking
responsibility, actions, and making decisions pertaining to the 1998 Agreement on behalf of the
Participating Agencies. The Metro Commission and the Metro JPA are and shall hereinafter be
treated as one and the same entity for all intents and purposes under this Agreement, including for
the purpose of accepting and executing the responsibilities delegated to the Metro JPA in this
Agreement. Each Participating Agency shall have the right to appoint a representative of its choice
to the Metro Commission/Metro JPA, and the Participating Agency’s appointee to the Metro
Commission shall also serve as that Participating Agency’s representative on the Metro JPA Board
of Directors. If a Participating Agency is a dependent district whose governing body is that of
another independent public agency, that Participating Agency shall be represented on the Metro
Commission/Metro JPA by a representative appointed by the governing body which shall have no
more than one representative no matter how many Participating Agencies it governs. Each member
has one vote in any matter considered by the Metro Commission/Metro JPA. The Metro
Commission/Metro JPA shall establish its own meeting schedule and rules of conduct. The City
may participate in the Metro Commission on an ex officio, non-voting basis. To the extent this
Agreement expands or amends the powers or purposes set forth in the Metro JPA Joint Exercise
of Powers Agreement, the Participating Agencies expressly agree to such expansion or amendment
consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

invalidate the whole of the Agreement, but, rather, the Agreement shall be construed as if it did
not contain the invalid or illegal part, and the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be construed
and enforced accordingly except to the extent that enforcement of the Agreement without the
invalidated provision would materially and adversely frustrate either the City’s or a Participating
Agency’s essential objectives set forth in this Agreement or the applicable Administrative
Agreement.
16.4.4.2 Should a court determine that one or more components of the
allocation of costs set forth in this Agreement or any associated Administrative Agreement places
the City or a Participating Agency in violation of Article XIII D, Section 6 of the California
Constitution with respect to their ratepayers, such components shall no longer be of force or effect.
In such an event, the City and the Participating Agencies shall promptly meet to renegotiate the
violative component of the cost allocation to comply with Article XIII D, Section 6 of the
California Constitution, and use the dispute resolution process in Section 10 of this Agreement if
an agreement cannot be reached through direct negotiation.

16.4.4.3 Should a state or federal agency provide a final, written
determination that the method of allocating Pure Water Program Capital Improvement Costs under
this Agreement violates the requirements of state or federal grants or loans which are, or will be,
used to fund the wastewater components of the Pure Water Program, such allocation method will
no longer be of any force or effect. In such an event, the allocation of Repurified Water Revenue
and the Capital Expense Rate will continue to be based on the Parties’ actual payments to fund the
Pure Water Program Capital Improvement Costs attributable to the Metro System. The City and
the Participating Agencies shall also promptly meet to negotiate an alternative cost allocation
method that would comply with such grant or loan funding requirements.
16.4.5 Choice of Law. This Agreement and any of its associated Administrative
Agreements shall be construed and enforced pursuant to the laws of the State of California.
16.4.6 Recognition of San Diego Sanitation District as Successor to Certain Parties.
The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the San Diego County Sanitation District is a
Participating Agency under this Agreement as the successor in interest to the Alpine Sanitation
District, East Otay Mesa Sewer Maintenance District, Lakeside Sanitation District, Spring Valley
Sanitation District, and Winter Gardens Sewer Maintenance District.
16.5 Declarations Re: Agreement.
16.5.1 Understanding of Intent and Effect of Agreement. The Parties expressly
declare and represent that they have read the Agreement and that they have consulted with their
respective counsel regarding the meaning of the terms and conditions contained herein. The Parties
further expressly declare and represent that they fully understand the content and effect of this
Agreement and they approve and accept the terms and conditions contained herein, and that this
Agreement is executed freely and voluntarily.
16.5.2 Warranty Regarding Obligation and Authority to Enter Into This
Agreement. Each Party represents and warrants that its respective obligations herein are legal and
binding obligations of such Party, that each Party is fully authorized to enter into this Agreement,
and that the person signing this Agreement hereinafter for each Party has been duly authorized to
sign this Agreement on behalf of said Party.
16.6 Right to Make Other Agreements. Nothing in this Agreement limits or restricts the
right of the City or the Participating Agencies to make separate agreements among themselves,
including through joint powers agreements, without the need to amend this Agreement, provided
that such agreements are consistent with this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement or Section 6
limits or restricts the right of the City or the Participating Agencies to enter into separate
agreements regarding the industrial pretreatment program, or for the purchase or sale of Repurified
Water produced by the Water Repurification System, or sharing in City Water Utility PW Costs;
however, such agreements shall not affect the cost allocation and Metro System revenues
delineated in Section 5.
16.7 Statute of Limitations to Resolve Billing Issues. Notwithstanding any longer statute
of limitations in State law, if the City or a Participating Agency wishes to dispute a bill (including,
but not limited to, an audited bill or an audit reconciliation) on the basis of an alleged overpayment

or underpayment arising under this Agreement, the Party alleging the dispute must provide written
notice regarding the disputed bill to all Parties to this Agreement promptly upon discovery of such
a billing issue. The written notice shall invoke or reference this Section. The Parties agree that
such refunds or collections shall not accrue for more than three (3) years from the date that such
billing is received by the Participating Agency, or one (1) year from the date that an audited
reconciliation is received by the Participating Agency, whichever date is later. The City and the
Participating Agencies hereby waive any applicable statute of limitations available under State law
that exceed the time frames set forth in this Section 16.7. Upon receipt of the written notice
regarding the billing dispute, any Participating Agency wishing to participate in the resolution of
the dispute shall be allowed to do so and to present evidence to all Parties in support of their
position. The involved Parties’ determination regarding the outcome of the billing dispute,
including any related adjustments to each Participating Agency’s share of net Metro System costs
or revenues resulting from the resolution of such billing issues, shall be final. Nothing in this
section relieves a Participating Agency from its obligations to make timely payments under this
Agreement irrespective of whether or not a bill is being disputed. If the Parties are unable to resolve
a billing dispute, the Parties shall utilize the dispute resolution processes in this Agreement.

EXHIBIT E
METHODOLOGY FOR CONTRACT CAPACITY TRANSFERS
The following exhibit describes the methodology for transferring contract capacities from the
Metro Pooled Capacity (summarized in the table below) to a Party’s contract capacity defined in
Exhibit B.
POOLED CAPACITY
Average Flow,
mgd
Incremental Peak1,
mgd
TSS,
1,000 lbs.
COD,

After Phase 1 Pure Water 0 102 96,820 27,521
After Phase 2 Pure Water 10 20 96,820 27,521
1. At Point Loma WWTP
2. Assume system storage
If a transfer of contract capacity is initiated as set forth in Section 4.4.3.1, capacity will be taken
from the Pooled Capacity and added to the Party in need of additional capacity. Thereafter, the
above table of Pooled Capacity will be updated with the subject column reduced, and Exhibit B
will be updated with the subject Party’s contract capacity correspondingly increased.
In lieu of transferring average flow capacity from the Pooled Capacity to a Party, the Party can
choose to transfer Incremental Peak Flow Capacity to Average Flow Capacity keeping Total
Allowable Flow the same, assuming the Party would still have sufficient Total Allowable Flow
Capacity for their peak flows.
If a transfer of contract capacity as set forth in Section 4.4.3.2, the reverse shall occur and the
subject Party’s contract capacity will be reduced in Exhibit B and the Pooled increased.
In lieu of transferring average flow capacity to the Pooled Capacity from a Party, the Party can
choose to transfer Average Flow Capacity to Incremental Peak Flow Capacity keeping Total
Page 228 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
Last Updated: 5/29/2025
Allowable Flow the same, if they anticipate needing their current Total Allowable Flow for their
peak flows.
The remainder of this Exhibit has examples of how these transfers would be performed and the
estimated effect on a Party’s share of Metro System Costs under the FAB Billing System. Please
note Metro System costs will change from time to time as well as Contract Capacities per Exhibit
B, so the following are only examples and not meant to be exact. These examples are based on
Exhibit B as of the signing of this agreement, not necessarily the last revision of this exhibit. These
examples are currently based on FY24 unaudited costs and estimated FY27 billing units.

Exhibit G - Sample of the Interest Calculation (Section 6.6) (Continued)
Procedures and Assumptions:
The City proposes the following procedures be used to allocate these costs. These costs will be allocated 1 year after substantial completion of Pure Water Phase 1, as part of the annual Audit of Metro costs
Projected to be annual audit of metro activity for Fiscal Year 2026). The City will prepare a yearly update to the calculator as part of the preparation for the yearly metro audit.
Column Description:
Cost Included (Column C)(50/50 POs)
from 2014 to 2022 and have been included as part of each yearly audit of Metro JPA Pure Water costs. This sheet is prepared by the City and reviewed by the JPA's consultants
on a yearly basis to determine samples for the Pure Water O&M costs. After awarding of all Pure Water construction contracts, new costs will use an updated percentage based on
actual awarded construction contracts. This date will be called out on the purchase order sheet and a new line on the calculator will be added to track the change in percent allocation.
Open purchase orders using the 50/50 split will be separated on the calculator sheet until they are fully spent, closed or amended to the new split.
Original Splits % (Column D & E)These columns split the total costs of the 50/50 POs based on their original share between the water and Metro funds. This establishes each funds initial share of the costs
Original Share (Column F & G)These columns split the total costs in Column C by the percentages in Columns D and E.
This column uses Metro funds final share of Phase 1 costs, as a percentage of total project costs, and applies it to costs included in Column C. This represents the actual share
of costs based on the final allocation costs.
This column takes the difference between the initial splits for Metro (Column F) and the Metro post allocation share (Column H). These are the new expenditures from that
fiscal year subject to the interest calculation.
Running Metro Balance Subject to This column takes any prior year balance in Column J, the prior year accrued interest in Column K and adds the new expenditures from Column I. This is the total balanced
Interest (Column J)used to calculate each year's interest owed.
Yearly Interest Earnings (Column K)This column takes the annual interest earnings shown in Column M and assumed monthly compounding of Metro balance in Column J. Compounding period is consistent with
the City's monthly interest earnings paid on City funds.
Estimated PA share (Column L)This column estimates the portion of interest earnings that is expected to be credited to the Participating Agencies. Individual Agencies will be credited during the audit following
one year after the substantial completion of Pure Water Phase 1. Agencies will be credited at weighted average of costs from 2014 to one year after substantial completion of Phase 1,
based on the PA's individual annual percent share of Metro costs.
Annual Interest Rate (Column M)This column shows the annual percent returns on funds invested by the City Treasurer. This is based on the Treasurers annual return on investments as invested under the City's
investment policy. This is the rate used to calculate yearly interest owed.
Notes This calculator was designed to account for the time value of money related to (50/50 POs). If additional Phase 1item (CIP expenses, Revenue, etc.) need to account for the
time value of money, the assumptions used in Columns I-K will remaining consistent in those calculations. Columns C through H and the associated percentages used will be adapted
to fit the types of costs being allocated.

ADMINISTRATIVE AGREEMENT #1
AGREEMENT BETWEEN CITY OF SAN DIEGO AND PARTICIPATING AGENCIES
IN THE METROPOLITAN SEWERAGE SYSTEM FOR UNIFIED MANAGEMENT OF
INDUSTRIAL WASTE DISCHARGE PRETREATMENT AND ENHANCED SOURCE
CONTROL PROGRAMS
This Administrative Agreement #1 (“Administrative Agreement”), Agreement Between
City of San Diego and Participating Agencies in the Metropolitan Sewerage System for Unified
Management of Industrial Waste Discharge Pretreatment and Enhanced Source Control Programs
is entered by and among the CITY OF SAN DIEGO, a municipal corporation (“City”), on the one
hand; and the CITY OF CHULA VISTA, a municipal corporation; the CITY OF CORONADO, a
municipal corporation; the CITY OF DEL MAR, a municipal corporation; the CITY OF EL
CAJON, a municipal corporation; the CITY OF IMPERIAL BEACH, a municipal corporation;
the CITY OF LA MESA, a municipal corporation; the LEMON GROVE SANITATION
DISTRICT, a political subdivision of the State of California; the CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, a
municipal corporation; the CITY OF POWAY, a municipal corporation; the OTAY WATER
DISTRICT, a political subdivision of the State of California; the PADRE DAM MUNICIPAL
WATER DISTRICT, a political subdivision of the State of California; and the SAN DIEGO
COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT, a political subdivision of the State of California
(individually a “Participating Agency” or collectively, the “Participating Agencies”), on the
other hand, and shall be effective 30 days after execution by all Parties (the “Effective Date”).
City and each Participating Agency may be referred to herein individually as a “Party” and
collectively as the “Parties.”
WHEREAS, City operates the Metro System, a regional wastewater system that collects,
treats and disposes of wastewater generated from within City’s boundaries and from within the
service areas of the Participating Agencies, in accordance with NPDES Permit No. CA107409 and
California Waste Discharge Requirements; and
WHEREAS, City desires to carry out a uniform industrial waste disposal, pretreatment and
enhanced source control program (“Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program,” as
defined below) on behalf of itself and the Participating Agencies in the Metropolitan Sewerage
System (“Metro System”) throughout the Metro System service area; and to help ensure that City
can meet the requirements of its NPDES permits, including implementation of both indirect
potable reuse under Phase 1 of Pure Water San Diego and a potential future direct potable reuse
(“DPR”) program; and
WHEREAS City and Participating Agencies determined that the centralized operation of
an Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program provides certain General Benefits (as
defined below) to all users of the Metro System. Absent an Industrial Pretreatment and Source
Control Program providing these General Benefits, the increased costs would be incurred as
general treatment and disposal costs of the Metro System. Additionally, any Participating Agency
with Industrial Users in their jurisdiction would also incur the costs of operating their own
program; and

3.ORDINANCE ADOPTION. No later than 60 days after the Effective Date of this
Administrative Agreement, each Party to this Administrative Agreement shall begin the process
of amending its Pretreatment ordinances or resolutions, as applicable, including providing public
notices as may be required by law, as necessary to implement this Administrative Agreement.
Each Participating Agency shall adopt an ordinance delegating authority to City to implement,
operate and enforce an Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program against Industrial
Users in the Metro System, in a form substantially similar to the model ordinance attached to this
Administrative Agreement as Attachment A. Each Participating Agency must provide a copy of
its adopted ordinance to City. Each Party’s revised ordinances or resolutions (as applicable)
governing Pretreatment shall be adopted and effective by no later than the effective date of the
SARA as set forth in Section 14.1 of the SARA.
4.NOTICE AND AMENDMENTS. On or shortly after the Effective Date of this
Administrative Agreement, City shall notify the Participating Agencies of any amendments to
City’s ordinances or Municipal Code relating to Pretreatment, in order to develop and maintain,
insofar as possible, a uniform set of wastewater disposal regulations at least as stringent as those
adopted by City throughout the Metro System, including the established Local Limits and source
control measures for protection of the Pure Water program. Throughout the life of this

Administrative Agreement, City shall continue to notify the Participating Agencies of any
amendments to City’s ordinances or Municipal Code relating to the Industrial Pretreatment and
Source Control Program which may require the Participating Agencies to take action to ensure
their ordinances, rules or regulations relating to Pretreatment conform or adhere to City’s rules
and requirements. When necessary, each Participating Agency shall adopt and routinely maintain
Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program ordinances or resolutions which conform or
adhere to the rules adopted by City. City shall not require that the Participating Agencies adopt
any ordinances or amendments that are more stringent than ordinances or amendments that have
been adopted by City.
5.IDENTIFICATION OF INDUSTRIAL USERS. Participating Agencies shall be
responsible for notifying all known Industrial Users in their jurisdiction which are subject to
regulation under the Act about the change from Participating Agency to City Pretreatment
oversight, and the change from Participating Agency to City direct billing and enforcement, by no
later than the first July 1 after the Effective Date of this Administrative Agreement. The cost of
this notice will be borne by the individual Participating Agency providing the notice. Each
Participating Agency shall create and maintain a reporting procedure mutually acceptable to the
City and Participating Agency that includes a monthly report identifying potential new Industrial
Users, including the name of the business, business address, type of business, and contact
information. The reporting procedure shall also include a requirement that the Participating
Agency promptly inform the City of a potential new Industrial User after the Participating Agency
becomes aware of the new potential Industrial User. Each Participating Agency shall provide
notice and a blank copy of the City’s Industrial Wastewater Control Program Industrial User
Permit application to each identified potential new Industrial User. The notice may indicate that
the Pretreatment program fees or charges billed and collected by City are in addition to any
business license fees, permits or general wastewater service charges adopted and imposed by the
Participating Agency. The notice shall be in a form approved from time to time by City. Thereafter,
it shall be the responsibility of the City and the potential new Industrial User to coordinate
regarding potential permitting and compliance, subject to the provisions in Section 2.8.6 of the
SARA which govern permitting and permit compliance. New residential users, and dischargers of
FOG, including Food Establishments, to the Participating Agencies’ collection system need not be
reported to City, absent unusual circumstances. City and each Participating Agency shall meet
and confer prior to making changes to administrative procedures unique to a Participating Agency
relating to the identification of a potential new Industrial User.
6.INVENTORY. City shall create and maintain an inventory, that will be available
to the Participating Agencies upon request, of all Industrial Users within the Metro System as soon
as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date of this Administrative Agreement. If the City
includes this inventory in an annual report, no additional inventory is required to be created. Upon
request from a Participating Agency, the City will provide the location or locations, and the point
of contact for each Industrial User. City shall update this inventory as often as reasonably
practicable, but by no later than March 1 of each year. If a Participating Agency is aware of an
Industrial User within its jurisdiction which is not noted on the City’s inventory, the Participating

January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
- 8 -
10-23-25
4932-9907-9020
Agency shall promptly notify the City of the name of the business, business address, type of
business and contact information so that the City may investigate as appropriate.
EVALUATION, PERMITTING AND MONITORING. It shall be City’s right
and obligation to perform all evaluation, permitting, and monitoring required under the Act or any
National Pretreatment Standards as required by City’s NPDES permit, for all Industrial Users
discharging to the Metro System. City shall review and amend its Pretreatment Requirements as
necessary, but no less than every five (5) years, to ensure full compliance with Federal and State
Laws. The City shall follow the requirements set forth in Section 2.8.6 of the SARA with respect
to permitting and permit compliance. The City shall not be responsible for evaluation, permitting,
or monitoring requirements contained in a Participating Agency’s NPDES Permit.
DILIGENT ENFORCEMENT. City shall be responsible for identifying any
Interference or other unlawful Discharges by Industrial Users in the Metro System, other than
Discharges by Food Establishments and other FOG dischargers, and shall be responsible for
initiating and administering enforcement actions related to the violation of any applicable laws,
rules, or regulations associated with Discharge. The Participating Agencies hereby delegate
authority to City to diligently enforce the provisions of Article 4, of Chapter 6, commencing with
§ 64.0100, et seq. of City’s Municipal Code, as may be updated or amended, against Industrial
Users throughout the Metro System and in each Participating Agency’s service areas, and City
hereby accepts these enforcement rights, liabilities and obligations; provided, however, that each
Participating Agency shall undertake within their boundaries, primary enforcement of Food
Establishment and FOG Discharges to protect the collection system within its jurisdiction and
City shall have no responsibility therefor.
ENFORCEMENT AND COOPERATION BY PARTICIPATING
AGENCIES. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting any Participating Agency from
enforcing its own Pretreatment ordinance within its jurisdiction, nor shall this agreement require
the City to accept a delegation of authority to enforce a Pretreatment ordinance adopted by a
Page 277 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
- 9 -
10-23-25
4932-9907-9020
Participating Agency that is more stringent or contains different requirements than the City’s.
Notwithstanding the delegation of authority to City, each Participating Agency retains authority to
implement and enforce its own ordinance and to contract with other agencies for such purposes,
including without limitation through a joint powers agreement. However, such enforcement shall
be in cooperation and coordination with the City and shall not interfere with City’s enforcement.
Participating Agencies shall be solely responsible for enforcement of Discharges of FOG and Food
Establishments within their service areas. In the event a Participating Agency adopts an ordinance
more stringent than City’s, the Participating Agency may enforce the ordinance itself, or negotiate
and enter into a separate agreement with City under which City will enforce the Participating
Agency’s ordinance; provided, however, that any added costs of such enforcement will be borne
by the Participating Agencies adopting the ordinance and shall not be borne by City or the other
Participating Agencies. If the authority of City to act as agent of a Participating Agency is
challenged by any person in a manner which may restrict or prevent City from performing the
permitting, inspection, monitoring or enforcing of applicable provisions of law, the Participating
Agency will cooperate in good faith with City and take such actions as are reasonably necessary
to ensure effective implementation and enforcement of the Participating Agency’s ordinance and
this Administrative Agreement.
COSTS FOR INDUSTRIAL WASTE CONTROL PROGRAM. City shall, not
less often than every 5 years, adopt resolutions establishing fees, costs, charges and fines sufficient
to recover the full cost of carrying out the Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program.
City shall directly bill Industrial Users to recover the costs and charges of the Industrial
Pretreatment and Source Control Program, with additional billings sent directly to Industrial Users
as needed for any enforcement costs (including related monitoring) incurred by City.

(b) If, at the end of a Fiscal Year, the actual Total Program Costs are determined to
have exceeded the total amounts collected from Industrial Users’ Costs, Trucked Waste Costs, and
General Benefit Costs, the remaining costs for that fiscal year shall be allocated to the City and the
Participating Agencies with Industrial Users within their jurisdiction, in proportion to the total
Permit Fees charged to Industrial Users in each Party’s jurisdiction compared to the total amount
of Permit Fees charged for all Industrial Users for the applicable fiscal year. For example, if the
Permit Fees charged for Industrial Users in the City of San Diego is $2,000,000, and the Permit
Fees charged to all Industrial Users in that same fiscal year was $4,000,000 then fifty-percent
(50%) of the remaining costs for that fiscal year ($2,000,000/$4,000,0000) will be allocated to the
City of San Diego. The remaining Participating Agencies shall pay their respective proportionate
shares according to the same methodology (Permit Fees charged for Industrial Users in the
Participating Agencies Jurisdiction divided by the total Permit Fees charged for the fiscal
year). See the table attached hereto as Attachment B for a more complete example.
(c) City shall seek, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to ensure that Industrial
Users’ Costs shall be paid for entirely by the Industrial Users regulated under the ordinances of
City and Participating Agencies, through permit fees, fines, administrative penalties, inspection
fees and other cost recovery mechanisms provided for under the ordinances of City and
Participating Agencies, as applicable. However, this section is not intended to prevent the City
from approving Industrial User fees based on a cost of service study that phases in fee increases to
mitigate significant fee spikes, which may not be fully cost recoverable for a specific fiscal year
as further discussed in subsection 10(h) below.
(d) Periodically, but no less often than every five (5) years, City shall cause to be
performed a cost-of-service study or other appropriate study to ensure that permit fees, fines,
administrative penalties, inspection fees and other cost recovery mechanisms, including General
Benefit costs, are sufficient to fully fund the Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program.
The City will work with Metro JPA staff as part of this process in advance of any presentation to
the Metro Commission or the San Diego City Council. The costs of this study shall be allocated
based on the results of the study as either programmatic or administrative costs.
(e) The City will bring a yearly update to the Metro Commission, after the release of
the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), that provides an update on the
program and will include recorded revenues and expenses for the completed year.
(f) City will provide notice of fee structure changes in accordance with the
requirements of City’s Municipal Code as well as applicable state rules.
(g) City will make a good faith effort to conduct outreach to Industrial Users regarding
potential changes to the program fees.
(h) If the City proposes a fee structure for Industrial User fees based on a cost of service
study that is not fully cost recoverable for a fiscal year (or years) that are part of the study in order
to phase-in or mitigate significant fee increases for Industrial Users, the City will provide a
presentation to the Metro Commission on the proposed fees and how it would impact the

- 11 -

4932-9907-9020
calculation in Sections 10(a) and 10(b) above. If the Metro Commission takes a vote regarding the
proposed fee structure, City staff will provide that information to the City Council for the City
Council’s consideration at the time the proposed fees are before the City Council for adoption,
however, the City Council may choose to adopt the fee or not, in accordance with its legislative
authority. If the fees adopted based on a cost of service study are set at an amount intended to
recover the full cost of carrying out the Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program over
the study period (but not to exceed five (5) years), no Participating Agency shall have a claim
against the City for a failure to adopt fully cost recoverable fees.
TERMINATION OF INDIVIDUAL PRETREATMENT AGREEMENTS.
Any and all previously approved “Interjurisdictional Pretreatment Agreements” between City and
any Participating Agency shall be terminated on the Effective Date of the SARA.
PERMIT OBLIGATIONS CONTINUE. Nothing herein shall be construed to
relieve any Industrial User to the Metro System of the responsibility to obtain a permit for, and to
comply with rules and regulations applicable to Industrial Users to the Metro System.
LIABILITIES. If a third-party liability, penalty or fine arises relating to City’s
operation of this Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program, then all costs arising from
the liability, penalty or fine shall be directly passed through to the Industrial User(s) found to be
responsible for the liability, penalty or fine. If the Industrial User(s) responsible for the liability,
penalty or fine cannot be ascertained or identified, or if the Industrial User(s) initiates bankruptcy
proceedings or is declared bankrupt, then the liability, penalty or fine shall be absorbed as part of
the Total Program Costs, and shall be allocated among the City and the Participating Agencies in
accordance with the methodology described in Section 10(b). The Participating Agencies shall
not be responsible for any liability, penalty or fine, or portion thereof, that arises from City’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
DELEGATION OF AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION AUTHORITY TO
METRO COMMISSION. The Participating Agencies hereby delegate to the Metro Commission
the authority to approve, by a vote of no less than two-thirds of the members of the Metro
Commission at a duly noticed public meeting (in other words, upon the affirmative vote of no less
than eight of the twelve members of the Metro Commission, irrespective of how many Metro
Commissioners are present at the meeting), any amendments or supplements to this Administrative
Agreement, including, if necessary, termination of this Administrative Agreement.

ITEM TITLE
Speed Limit Adjustment: First Avenue between ‘E’ Street and ‘L’ Street and Second Avenue between ‘C’ Street
and ‘L’ Street Decrease from 30 MPH to 25 MPH
Report Number: 25-0220
Location: First Avenue between ‘E’ Street and ‘L’ Street and Second Avenue between ‘C’ Street and ‘L’ Street
Department: Engineering
G.C. § 84308 Regulations Apply: No
Environmental Notice: This Project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption pursuant to California
Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1 (Existing Facilities) and Section
15061(b)(3).
Recommended Action
Place an ordinance on first reading reducing the speed limits on First Avenue between ‘E’ Street and ‘L’ Street
and Second Avenue between ‘C’ Street and ‘L’ Street from 30 MPH to 25 MPH and amending Schedule X of
the Register maintained in the office of the City Engineer to reflect the amended speed limits. (First Reading)
SUMMARY
Staff completed a review of roadway segments based on Engineering and Traffic Surveys (E&TS) prepared
in accordance with the California Vehicle Code (CVC) that have since initially expired and may qualify as a
residence or business district. According to the CVC, a prima facie speed limit of 25 mph can be posted on
road segments in business or residence districts without an E&TS provided that the road meets the criteria
for a business or residence district. Therefore, staff recommends that the existing posted speed limits on
First Avenue between ‘E’ Street and ‘L’ Street (the “First Avenue Segment”) and Second Avenue between ‘C’
Street and ‘L’ Street (the “Second Avenue Segment”; collectively the “Segments”) of 30 mph be reduced to 25
mph based on them meeting criteria for a residence district (see Attachment 1, Location Plat).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption
Page 286 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
P a g e | 2
pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1 (Existing Facilities), because the proposed project
would not result in a significant effect on the environment, create a cumulative impact , damage a scenic
highway, or cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, it has also been determined that the activity qualifies for an Exemption pursuant to Section
15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines. Thus, no further environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Traffic Safety Commission, at their meetings on August 14, 2025 and October 9, 2025, voted to concur
with staff’s recommendation to reduce the existing 30 mph speed limit on the Segment to a prima facie speed
limit of 25 mph based on meeting the definition of a residence district for First Avenue Segment and Second
Avenue Segment, respectively (Attachment 2).
DISCUSSION
The California Vehicle Code (CVC) establishes minimum and maximum prima facie speed limits for all streets
in the State. The minimum default prima facie speed limit is 25 miles per hour (MPH) and the maximum
speed limit is 65 MPH. An engineering and traffic survey (E&TS) is required to change the prima facie limit
and/or update various speed limits in the City.
The CVC requires that local agencies review changes in local speed limits every five to seven years to
determine whether the existing street segment speed limits require updates due to the age of the engineering
and traffic survey or due to changes in roadway and traffic conditions. In addition, the CVC sets a prima facie
speed limit of 25 MPH on roads in business or residence districts.
The definitions for business and residence districts in the CVC have a few caveats, but generally, the CVC
defines a residence district as a road with at least 13 separate dwellings on one side within a quarter mile or
at least 16 separate dwelling houses on both sides within a quarter mile.
Physical Conditions
The following summarizes the conditions along the First Avenue Segment:
Classification – Class II Collector
Length/Width – 1.71 miles and 38’ to 40’ wide
Average Daily Traffic: 2,935
Number of Lanes: Two travel lanes (one per direction)
Existing Speed Limit – 30 mph
Striping – Double yellow centerline
Parking – Parking is allowed along both sides
Horizontal Alignment – Straight
Fronting Dwellings per ¼ Mile (135/1.71 mi) – 19.7
Longest Uninterrupted Segment – 0.46 miles
The following summarizes the conditions along the Second Avenue Segment:
Classification – Class II Collector
Length/Width – 2.21 miles and 38’ to 40’ wide
Page 287 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
P a g e | 3
Average Daily Traffic: 7,195
Number of Lanes: Two travel lanes (one per direction)
Existing Speed Limit – 30 mph (25 mph D street to E Street for Senior Zone)
Striping –Double yellow centerline
Parking – Parking is allowed along both sides
Horizontal Alignment – Straight
Fronting Dwellings per ¼ Mile (204/ 2.21 mi) – 23.1
Longest Uninterrupted Segment – 0.48 miles (through Senior Zone)
The Segments include more than 16 dwellings per quarter mile, which meets the definition of a residence
district per the CVC. In addition, because both Segments are 40 feet or less wide, have one travel lane in each
direction, and have not more than one half mile of uninterrupted length along their entire lengths, they meet
the definition of local roads per the CVC. Therefore, the Segments as residence districts should not be
considered “speed traps” in accordance with the CVC.
Community Outreach
Public outreach for this item included presentation to and consideration by the Traffic Safety Commission at
its meetings on August 14, 2025 and October 9, 2025. In addition to the publication of the Commission
agendas online, the meetings were further advertised at major entry points to the affected area.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property holdings
within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of the Segments which are the subject of this action. Consequently, this
item does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under California Code
of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(7) or (8), for purposes of the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code
§87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any Council member, of any other fact that
may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
The establishment of the speed limit requires the posting of new speed limit signs and speed limit legends
on the subject Segments. This minor work will be incorporated into the existing Capital Improvement Project
TRF0332, Signing and Striping Program. Sufficient funding is available within the project budget to cover the
costs, ensuring no additional fiscal impact for the current year.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Regular maintenance of the speed limit pavement legends is required every 5 to 7 years, while signage
maintenance occurs every 12 to 15 years. These ongoing costs will be incorporated into the annual budget
development process in future years.

SAFETY COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT
Item _ 5.2__
Meeting Date 08/14/25
ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION OF THE TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF CHULA VISTA RECOMMENDING THAT THE CHULA
VISTA CITY COUNCIL REDUCE THE SPEED LIMIT ON FIRST
AVENUE BETWEEN ‘E’ STREET AND ‘L’ STREET FROM 30 MPH
TO 25 MPH, AND THAT SCHEDULE X OF THE REGISTER
MAINTAINED IN THE OFFICE OF THE CITY ENGINEER BE
AMENDED TO REFLECT THE ADJUSTED SPEED LIMIT
SUBMITTED BY: Principal Traffic Engineer
Staff completed a review of roadway segments based on Engineering and Traffic Surveys
E&TS) prepared in accordance with the California Vehicle Code (CVC) that have since initially
expired and may qualify as a residence or business district. According to the CVC, a prima facie
speed limit of 25 mph can be posted on road segments in business or residence districts without
an E&TS. Therefore, staff recommends that the existing posted speed limit on First Avenue
between ‘E’ Street and ‘L’ Street (the “Segment”) of 30 mph be reduced to 25 mph based on it
being a residence district (see Attachment 1, Location Map).
RECOMMENDATION: That the Traffic Safety Commission reduce the existing 30 mph speed
limit on the Segment to a prima facie speed limit of 25 mph based on meeting the definition of a
residence district.
DISCUSSION:
The California Vehicle Code (CVC) establishes minimum and maximum prima facie speed
limits for all streets in the State. The minimum default prima facie speed limit is 25 miles per
hour (MPH) and the maximum speed limit is 65 MPH. An engineering and traffic survey
E&TS) is required to change the prima facie limit and/or update various speed limits in the City.
The CVC requires that local agencies review changes in local speed limits every five to seven
years to determine whether the existing street segment speed limits require updating due to the
age of the engineering and traffic survey or due to changes in roadway and traffic conditions. In
addition, the CVC sets a prima facie speed limit of 25 MPH on roads in business or residence
districts.
The definitions for business and residence districts in the CVC have a few caveats, but generally,
the CVC defines a residence district as a road with at least 13 separate dwellings on one side
within a quarter mile or at least 16 separate dwelling houses on both sides within a quarter mile.

Meeting Date 08/14/25
Physical Conditions
The following summarizes the conditions along the Segment:
Classification – Class II Collector
Length/Width – 1.71 miles and 38’ to 40’ wide
Average Daily Traffic: 2,935
Number of Lanes: One travel lane (1 per direction)
Existing Speed Limit – 30 mph
Striping – Two lanes of traffic
Parking – Parking is allowed along both sides
Horizontal Alignment – Straight
Fronting Dwellings per ¼ Mile (135/1.71 mi) – 19.7
Longest Uninterrupted Segment – 0.46 miles
The Segment includes more than 16 dwellings per quarter mile, which meets the definition of a
residence district per the CVC. In addition, because the entire Segment is 40 feet or less wide,
has one traffic lane in each direction, and has not more than one half mile of uninterrupted
length, it meets the definition of a local road per the CVC. Therefore, the Segment as a
residence district cannot be considered a “speed trap” in accordance with the CVC.
CONCLUSION:
When speed limits are appropriately established the following objectives are achieved:
Meaningful, unambiguous enforcement
Voluntary public compliance
Clear identification of the unreasonable violator
Elimination of unjustifiable “tolerances” of higher speed travel
Should the City Council reduce the speed limit to 25 mph, Schedule X of the register maintained
in the office of the City Engineer be amended to reflect the speed limit decrease:
First Avenue between ‘E’ Street and ‘L’ Street, reduced speed limit from 30 mph to 25
mph.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The establishment of the speed limit would require the posting of new speed limit signs and
speed limit pavement legends. This work will be funded by an existing Traffic Engineering
Capital Improvement Project, TRF-0332, Signing and Striping Program.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals, the covenants contained herein, and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the Parties hereby acknowledge, City and
Consultant hereby agree as follows:
1. SERVICES
1.1 Required Services. Consultant agrees to perform the services and deliver to City the “Deliverables” (if
any) described in the attached Exhibit A, incorporated into the Agreement by this reference, within the time
frames set forth therein, time being of the essence for this Agreement. The services and/or Deliverables
described in Exhibit A shall be referred to herein as the “Required Services.”
1.2 Reductions in Scope of Work. City may independently, or upon request from Consultant, from time
to time, reduce the Required Services to be performed by the Consultant under this Agreement. Upon doing
so, City and Consultant agree to meet and confer in good faith for the purpose of negotiating a
corresponding reduction in the compensation associated with the reduction.
1.3 Additional Services. Subject to compliance with the City’s Charter, codes, policies, procedures and
ordinances governing procurement and purchasing authority, City may request Consultant provide
additional services related to the Required Services (“Additional Services”). If so, City and Consultant
agree to meet and confer in good faith for the purpose of negotiating an amendment to Exhibit A, to add the
Additional Services. Unless otherwise agreed, compensation for the Additional Services shall be charged
and paid consistent with the rates and terms already provided therein. Once added to Exhibit A, “Additional
Services” shall also become “Required Services” for purposes of this Agreement.
1.4 Standard of Care. Consultant expressly warrants and agrees that any and all Required Services
hereunder shall be performed in accordance with the highest standard of care exercised by members of the
profession currently practicing under similar conditions and in similar locations.
1.5 No Waiver of Standard of Care. Where approval by City is required, it is understood to be
conceptual approval only and does not relieve the Consultant of responsibility for complying with all laws,
codes, industry standards, and liability for damages caused by negligent acts, errors, omissions,
noncompliance with industry standards, or the willful misconduct of the Consultant or its subcontractors.
1.6 Security for Performance. In the event that Exhibit A Section 5 indicates the need for Consultant to

1.11 Prevailing Wage Compliance. Consultant and subcontractors shall comply with the state of
California’s prevailing wage requirements in accordance with California Labor Code, and all Federal,
State, and local laws and ordinances applicable to persons employed by them for public works in a covered

copy of the prevailing rates of wages at each applicable job site and shall make them available to any
interested party upon request. The date of the City’s request for a cost proposal for a task order under this
Agreement shall be used to determine which published prevailing wage rate applies to the task order. All
published wage rates and all predetermined wage rate increases known at the date of the City’s request for
a cost proposal shall apply.

the City requires, as applicable, Consultant and subcontractors of any tier to be registered with the DIR for
the term of this Agreement.

under this Agreement as defined by California Labor Code section 1720, shall abide by the terms and
requirements identified in the attached Exhibit E, Project Labor Agreement (PLA), incorporated into the
Agreement by this reference. These terms and requirements include but are not limited to the following:

and payment are set forth in this Section 2.
2.2 Detailed Invoicing. Consultant agrees to provide City with a detailed invoice for services performed

Date of the Agreement. All charges must be presented in a line item format with each task separately
explained in reasonable detail. Each invoice shall include the current monthly amount being billed, the

Required Services detailed in the invoice have been satisfactorily performed, City shall pay Consultant for
the invoice amount within thirty (30) days. Payment shall be made in accordance with the terms and

this Agreement. If City determines that Consultant is not entitled to receive any amount of compensation
already paid, City will notify Consultant in writing and Consultant shall promptly return such amount.

3. INSURANCE
3.1 Required Insurance. Consultant must procure and maintain, during the period of performance of
Required Services under this Agreement, and for twelve months after completion of Required Services, the
policies of insurance described on the attached Exhibit B, incorporated into the Agreement by this reference
(the “Required Insurance”). The Required Insurance shall also comply with all other terms of this Section.
3.2 Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions relating to the
Required Insurance must be disclosed to and approved by City in advance of the commencement of work.
3.3 Standards for Insurers. Required Insurance must be placed with licensed insurers admitted to
transact business in the State of California with a current A.M. Best’s rating of A V or better, or, if
insurance is placed with a surplus lines insurer, insurer must be listed on the State of California List of
Eligible Surplus Lines Insurers (LESLI) with a current A.M. Best’s rating of no less than A X. For
Workers’ Compensation Insurance, insurance issued by the State Compensation Fund is also acceptable.
3.4 Subcontractors. Consultant must include all sub-consultants/sub-contractors as insureds under its
policies and/or furnish separate certificates and endorsements demonstrating separate coverage for those not
under its policies. Any separate coverage for sub-consultants must also comply with the terms of this

additional insureds with respect to any policy of general liability, automobile, or pollution insurance
specified as required in Exhibit B or as may otherwise be specified by City’s Risk Manager. The general
liability additional insured coverage must be provided in the form of an endorsement to the Consultant’s
insurance using ISO CG 2010 (11/85) or its equivalent; such endorsement must not exclude
Products/Completed Operations coverage.
3.6 General Liability Coverage to be “Primary.” Consultant’s general liability coverage must be primary
insurance as it pertains to the City, its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. Any insurance
or self-insurance maintained by the City, its officers, officials, employees, or volunteers is wholly separate
from the insurance provided by Consultant and in no way relieves Consultant from its responsibility to
provide insurance.
3.7 No Cancellation. No Required Insurance policy may be canceled by either Party during the required
insured period under this Agreement, except after thirty days’ prior written notice to the City by certified
mail, return receipt requested. Prior to the effective date of any such cancellation Consultant must procure
and put into effect equivalent coverage(s).
3.8 Waiver of Subrogation. Consultant’s insurer(s) will provide a Waiver of Subrogation in favor of the
City for each Required Insurance policy under this Agreement. In addition, Consultant waives any right it
may have or may obtain to subrogation for a claim against City.
3.9 Verification of Coverage. Prior to commencement of any work, Consultant shall furnish City with
original certificates of insurance and any amendatory endorsements necessary to demonstrate to City that
Consultant has obtained the Required Insurance in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The
words “will endeavor” and “but failure to mail such notice shall impose no obligation or liability of any kind
upon the company, its agents, or representatives” or any similar language must be deleted from all

certificates. The required certificates and endorsements should otherwise be on industry standard forms.
The City reserves the right to require, at any time, complete, certified copies of all required insurance
policies, including endorsements evidencing the coverage required by these specifications.

years after completion of the work required by this Agreement.

reporting” coverage for a minimum of five (5) years after completion of the work required by this
Agreement.
d. A copy of the claims reporting requirements must be submitted to the City for review.
3.11 Not a Limitation of Other Obligations. Insurance provisions under this section shall not be
construed to limit the Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement, including Indemnity.

higher limits than the minimums appearing in Exhibit B, City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for
higher limits maintained.
4. INDEMNIFICATION

action, costs, expenses, (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs), liability, loss, damage or
injury, in law or equity, to property or persons, including wrongful death, in any manner arising out of or
incident to any alleged acts, omissions, negligence, or willful misconduct of Consultant, its officials,
officers, employees, agents, and contractors, arising out of or in connection with the performance of the
Required Services, the results of such performance, or this Agreement. This indemnity provision does not
include any claims, damages, liability, costs and expenses arising from the sole negligence or willful
misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. Also covered is liability arising from, connected with, caused by or
claimed to be caused by the active or passive negligent acts or omissions of the Indemnified Parties which
may be in combination with the active or passive negligent acts or omissions of the Consultant, its
employees, agents or officers, or any third party.

forgoing, if the services provided under this Agreement are design professional services, as defined by

effective date thereof. Upon receipt of such notice, Consultant shall immediately cease all work under the
Agreement and promptly deliver all “Work Product” (defined in Section 7 below) to City. Such Work

Contractors(s).
2.2 Funding-Based Exception. The Parties agree and understand that this Agreement shall not
apply to any Covered Project, or portion thereof that would otherwise be subject to this Agreement, if a
governmental agency or granting authority fully or partially funding such Covered Project determines that
it will not fund the Covered Project if it is subject to this Agreement. City will make reasonable effort to
establish the inclusion of this Agreement with any governmental agency or granting authority funding a
Covered Project. In no circumstance shall City be required to forgo project funding due to potential
applicability of this Agreement.
2.3 Included Work. For the avoidance of confusion, items specifically included in the scope of
this Agreement include, without limitation, the following:
(a) Onsite and Adjacent Work. All onsite site preparation, construction, alteration,
demolition, installation, improvement, landscaping, painting or repair of buildings,
structures and other works, and related activities for the Covered Project that is
within the craft jurisdiction of one of the Unions and which is directly part of the
Covered Project, including, without limitation, the following examples:
geotechnical and exploratory drilling, temporary HVAC, landscaping, temporary
fencing, pipelines (including those in linear corridors built to serve the Covered
Project), pumps, and pump stations. Onsite work includes work done solely for the
Covered Project in temporary yards, dedicated sites, or other areas, provided that
they are adjacent to the Covered Project, and at any onsite or offsite batch plant
constructed solely to supply materials to the Covered Project.
(b) Systems Work. All startup, calibration, commissioning, performance testing,
repair, maintenance or operational revisions to systems and/or subsystems for the
Covered Project that are required as part of a Covered Contract, including warranty
work performed after completion, unless such work is performed by City
employees. Covered Work includes all onsite physical craft work that is part of
startup and commissioning, including, but not limited to, system flushes and

testing up to and including the final running test. It is understood that the City’s
personnel and/or representatives, together with the manufacturer’s and/or vendor’s
representatives, and/or plant operating personnel may supervise and direct the
startup, commissioning, rework, and modification activity, and that the onsite
physical craft work is typically performed as part of a joint effort with these
representatives and personnel. A manufacturer or its representatives may perform
industry standard startup and commissioning work to satisfy its guarantee or
warranty on a piece of equipment, and such work will be exempt from this
Agreement to the extent the work is excluded by Section 2.4.

which a Contractor possesses the right of control, including without limitation, the
fabrication of medical gas piping, air-handling systems and ducts, and HVAC sheet
metal work, and which is traditionally claimed as onsite fabrication shall be
performed onsite. Purchase of manufactured items from a genuine manufacturing

determination for Surveyors and/or Building/Construction Inspectors and/or Field
Soils and Material Testers (Inspectors) unless they are SDCCD employees, when
this work is performed under a Covered Contract or under a professional services
agreement. This inclusion applies to the scope of work defined in the State of
California Wage Determination for Surveyors and/or Building/Construction
Inspectors and/or Field Soils and Material Testers (Inspectors). This shall also
specifically include such work where it is referred to by utilization of such terms
as “quality control” or “quality assurance.” Every Surveyor and Inspector
performing under these classifications on Covered Work pursuant to a professional
services agreement directly with a Contractor shall be bound to all applicable
requirements of this Agreement regardless of the manner in which the work was
awarded. Department of State Architects (DSA), Inspector of Record (IOR) per
project will be excluded from the scope of this Agreement provided the DSA-IOR
required duties, as outlined in the California Building Standards Administrative
Code (Part 1 Title 24 C.C.R.) Article 6, are supervisory and do not conflict with

or storage areas for equipment or material and manufacturing (i.e., prefabrication)
sites dedicated solely for the Covered Project, onsite fabrication, and the
movement of materials or goods between locations on a Covered Project Site are
within the scope of this Agreement. Onsite fabrication work includes work

Council, City shall review with the vendor whether installation or application may
be performed pursuant to the terms of the Agreement without affecting the status
of the warranty; and

bid specifications, information and bidding requirements directly to any additional
union-signatory contractors that the Union has requested receive the bid

requirements that are consistent with City’s usual and customary bidding process
and industry practice in the San Diego region; and

constituting a Covered Project upon a 4/5 vote of its City Council finding and
determining that said work as a Covered Project would result in a substantial
inefficiency or impracticality; and
(j) Substantially Exceeds Engineer’s Estimate. If the lowest responsive and
responsible bid exceeds the engineer’s estimate by thirty-five percent (35%) or
more, the City reserves the right to reject all bids and readvertise the contract not
as a Covered Project or Covered Contract and not subject to this PLA. This
exemption cannot be invoked more than twice in any calendar year to exclude a
Covered Project or a Covered Contract from the scope of the PLA; and
(k) Laboratory testing work; and
(l) Emergency Work.
2.5 Awarding of Contracts.
(a) Each Union shall provide the Project Labor Coordinator a list of signatory
Contractors, whose principal place of business is within the geographic jurisdiction
of the City and that routinely perform work within the scope of the Covered Work
in such area. The Union shall specify the type of work that such Contractor
performs and may amend the list as necessary. City and any Prime Contractor that
contracts Covered Work to another Contractor shall solicit bids from at least two
(2) Contractors on the applicable Union’s list for the Covered Work, provided such
Contractors meet any applicable City pre-qualification criteria. The solicitation of
bids shall be based upon the same terms, conditions, and scope of work requested
of all potential bidders. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, City has the
absolute right to bid or award Covered Contracts regardless of delivery method to
any Contractor, notwithstanding the existence or non-existence of any agreements
between such Contractor and any Union, provided only that such Contractor is
willing, ready, and able to execute a Letter of Assent as set forth in Exhibit A
hereto, and comply with this Agreement in performance of the Covered Work.
(b) It is agreed that all Contractors awarded Covered Work shall be required to accept
and be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Contractors shall

evidence their acceptance of this Agreement by executing a Letter of Assent as set
forth in Exhibit A hereto. The Prime Contractor must sign and submit the Letter of
Assent as a condition of award prior to the execution of a Covered Contract. No
Contractor shall commence Covered Work without first providing a copy of the
signed Letter of Assent to the Project Labor Coordinator.
(c) It is agreed that, to the extent permitted by law and consistent with the economy
and efficiency of construction and operation, City and Contractors will use best
efforts to purchase materials, equipment, and supplies that will not create labor
strife. Under all circumstances, however, City and Contractors shall retain the
absolute right to select Contractors for the award of contracts and subcontract s on
all Covered Projects.
2.6 Master Labor Agreements.
(a) Conflicts Between Agreements. The provisions of this Agreement, including the
Master Labor Agreements, shall apply to the Covered Work, notwithstanding the
provision of any other local, area, and/or national agreement that may conflict with
or differ from the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency
between a Master Labor Agreement and this Agreement, the provisions of this
Agreement shall prevail. In the event that this Agreement is silent on a matter that
is addressed in a Master Labor Agreement, the provisions of the Master Labor
Agreement shall apply. Any dispute as to the applicable source between this
Agreement and any Master Labor Agreement shall be resolved under the
procedures established in Article 11.
(b) No Additional Agreements Required. It is agreed that this Agreement, together
with the referenced Master Labor Agreements, constitutes a self -contained,
standalone agreement and, by virtue of having become bound to this Agreement,
the Contractor will not be obligated to sign any other local, area, or national
collective bargaining agreement as a condition of performing work within the
scope of this Agreement. Provided, however, that the Contractor may be required
to sign a uniformly applied non-discriminatory Participation or Subscription
Agreement at the request of the trustees or administrator of a trust fund established
pursuant to Section 302 of the Labor Management Relations Act, and to which
such Contractor may be bound to make contributions under this Agreement,
provided that such Participation or Subscription Agreement does not purport to
bind the Contractor beyond the terms and conditions of this Agreement for
Covered Work and/or expand its obligation to make contributions thereto. It shall
be the responsibility of the Prime Contractor to have each of its Contractors of any
tier sign the documents with the appropriate Union prior to the Contractor
beginning work on the Covered Projects.
(c) Continuation. Master Labor Agreements incorporated as part of this Agreement
shall continue in full force and effect with regard to Covered Work, until the
Master Labor Agreement is modified by parties thereto.
2.7 Instrument Calibration and Loop Checking Exception. Except for work performed under
the NTL Articles of Agreement, the Stack/Chimney Agreement, and the National Cooling Tower
Agreement, all instrument calibration work and loop checking shall be performed under the terms of the

interfere with the performance of any other operation, work, or function not covered by this Agreement,
which may be performed by City employees or contracted for by the City for its account, on its property,
or in and around the Covered Project Site.
3.5 Completed Covered Projects. As portions of Covered Projects are completed and accepted
by the City, this Agreement shall have no further force or effect on such portions of Covered Projects,
except where the Contractor is directed by the City or the Project Labor Coordinator to engage in repairs,
modifications, and/or checkout functions required by its contract(s) with the City. Notice of acceptance
received by the Contractor will be provided to the Trades Council with the description of the portion,
segment, etc. that has been accepted by the City. Acceptance may be subject to a “punch” list, and in such
case, the Agreement will continue to apply to each item on such list until it is completed to the satisfaction
of the City and notice of same is given by the City or its representative to the Contractor.

any lawful reason, subject to any reporting time requirements of the applicable Master Labor Agreement;
provided, however, that such right is exercised in good faith and not for the purpose of avoiding the
Contractor’s commitment to employ qualified workers through procedures endorsed in this Agreement.
4.3 Referral Procedures.
(a) Job Referral System. For Unions having a job referral system contained in a Master
Labor Agreement, the Contractor agrees to comply with such system, and such
system shall be used exclusively by such Contractor, except as modified by this
Agreement. Such job referral system will be operated in a nondiscriminatory
manner and in full compliance with federal, state, and local laws and regulations
that require equal employment opportunities and nondiscrimination. All of the
foregoing hiring procedures, including related practices affecting apprenticeship,
shall be operated so as to consider the goals of the City to encourage employment
of Local Hires and Disadvantaged Workers on the Covered Projects, and to
facilitate the ability of all Contractors to meet their employment needs.
(b) Duty to Recruit and Refer. The Unions will exert their best efforts to recruit and
refer sufficient numbers of skilled craft workers to fulfill the labor requirements of
the Contractors, including specific employment obligations to which a Contractor
may be legally and/or contractually obligated; and to refer Apprentices as
requested to develop a larger, skilled workforce to perform Covered Work. The
Unions will work with the Project Labor Coordinator and others designated by the

5.1 Nondiscrimination in Referral, Employment, and Contracting. The Parties and Contractors
shall not unlawfully discriminate, harass, or allow harassment against any employee or applicant for
employment because of sex, race, ethnicity, color, ancestry, religious creed, national origin, sexual
orientation, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, age, marital status, denial of family
care leave, genetic information, gender, gender identity, gender expression, military or veteran status,
criminal records, part incarceration, previous status as a foster youth, political affiliation, or membership in
a labor organization in hiring and dispatching workers for the Covered Projects. The Parties and Contractors
will ensure that the evaluation and treatment of their employees, members, and applicants for employment
or membership are free from such discrimination and harassment.
5.2 Disabled Veterans and Small Business Enterprise Program. The Parties acknowledge that
the City has adopted Council Policy 160-03 (Disabled Veterans and Small Business Enterprise Program),
provided as Exhibit C. The Parties and Contractors shall jointly endeavor to assure that these commitments
are fully met, and that any provisions of this Agreement that may appear to interfere with Disabled Veterans
Business Enterprises and Small Business Enterprises successfully bidding for work on Covered Projects
shall be carefully reviewed and adjustments made as may be appropriate and agreed upon among the Parties,
to ensure full compliance with Council Policy 160-03, as it may be amended from time to time, on Covered
Projects.

Policy 160-03, each Prime Contractor shall be responsible for providing
documentation verifying compliance with same to the Project Labor Coordinator.
5.3 Core Employees. This section only applies to Contractors who are not directly signatory to
an applicable Master Labor Agreement.
(a) Hiring Procedures. Contractors who are not otherwise signatory to a Master Labor
Agreement may employ, as needed, first, a referral from the appropriate Union
hiring hall, then a Core Employee, then a second employee through the referral
system, then a second Core Employee, and so on, until a maximum of three (3)
Core Employees are employed per craft on the Project. Thereafter, all additional
employees in the affected trade or craft shall be requested and referred from the
appropriate Union hiring hall in accordance with this Article.
(b) Registration Required. Section 5.3 only applies to Contractors who are not directly
signatory to a current Master Labor Agreement for the craft worker in its employ
and is not intended to limit the transfer provisions of the Master Labor Agreement
of any trade. As part of this process, and in order to facilitate the contract
administration procedures, as well as appropriate fringe benefit fund coverage, all
Contractors shall require their Core Employees and any other persons employed
other than through the referral process, to register with the appropriate Union
hiring hall, if any, prior to their first day of employment working under the
Covered Contract at the Covered Project Site. The registration process shall be
administered by the Contractors and Union reasonably, but without impacting the
Covered Project schedule.
(c) List to be Provided. Prior to each Contractor performing any work on a Covered
Project, each Contractor shall provide a list of Core Employees to the Project Labor
Coordinator and the Trades Council. After submitting the Core Employee list prior
to commencing work on that Covered Project, Contractors shall not make any
changes or substitutions to the Core Employee list for the duration of that Covered
Project without prior agreement by the Parties, unless one or more Core Employees
retires, changes employer, resigns, or is terminated.
(d) Documentation to be Provided. Upon request by any Party to this Agreement, the
Contractor hiring any Core Employee shall provide satisfactory proof (i.e., payroll

submitted to the Project Labor Coordinator and the Trades Council prior
to the Contractor commencing work on the Covered Project.
(2) A Core Employee must possess any license required by state or federal
law for the Covered Work to be performed.
(3) A Core Employee must have the ability to safely perform the basic
functions of the applicable trade; and
(4) A Core Employee must be a resident of San Diego County.
(f) In addition to the Core Employee provisions set forth herein, all Contractors may
avail themselves of any opportunity provided for in the applicable Master Labor
Agreements to call for specific employees by name.
(g) During any layoffs or reductions in workforce, Contractors shall lay off employees
in an order and manner consistent with the Core Employee hiring procedures and
maintain the required Core Employee-to-Union referral ratios required by this
Section for the duration of the Covered Project.
5.4 Employment of Local Hires and Disadvantaged Workers.
(a) First Referred. The Parties acknowledge that the City desires to maximize
employment opportunities for Local Hires and Disadvantaged Workers and
Unions and Contractors agree that Local Hires shall be first referred for Covered
Projects. The list of qualifying Disadvantaged Areas shall be posted to the City’s
website.
(b) Local Hire Goal. The Contractors and Unions agree that, to the extent allowed by
law, and as long as they possess the requisite skills and qualification, the Unions
will exert their best efforts to refer and/or recruit sufficient numbers of skilled craft
Local Hires to fulfill the requirements of the Contractors. Contractor and Unions
further agree to work together to achieve a goal of at least fifty percent (50%) of
the total construction craft hours worked on each Covered Project being performed
by Local Hires, as further described in Section 5.4(c).
(c) Priority of Local Hires. The Contractors and Unions agree that Tier 1 Local Hires
shall be first referred for Covered Projects. Should there not be sufficient skilled
and qualified Tier 1 Local Hires to meet the Local Hire goal established in Section
5.4(b), Tier 2 Local Hires shall then be referred until the Local Hire goal has been
met.
(d) Disadvantaged Worker Goal. The Contractors and Unions agree to work together
to achieve a goal of at least thirty percent (30%) of the total construction craft hours
work on each Covered Project being performed by Disadvantaged Workers. Hours
worked by Local Hires who are also Disadvantaged Workers may be applied to the
Local Hire participation goal.
(e) Apprentice Hiring Goal. The Contractors and Unions agree to work together to
achieve a goal of at least one (1) Apprentice for every four (4) non-Apprentice
workers.

(f) Compliance with Local Hire, Disadvantaged Worker, and Apprentice Hiring
Goals. Contractors shall satisfy the goals set forth in Sections 5.4(b), 5.4(d), and
5.4(e) by: (i) assigning craft Core Employees who are Local Hires, Disadvantaged
Workers, and/or Apprentices to perform Covered Work; and (ii) if necessary,
requesting referral of Local Hires from Union hiring halls (using the Workforce
Dispatch Request Form) and Apprenticeship Programs. Contractors who follow
these procedures in good faith and with concerted efforts to identify and retain
Local Hires, Disadvantaged Workers, and Apprentices shall not be considered in
non-compliance for failure to meet the goals set forth in Sections 5.4(b), 5.4(d),
and 5.4(e).
(g) Workforce Dispatch Request Form Required. To facilitate the dispatch of Local
Hires, as well as all Contractor requests for referral and dispatch of workers from
the applicable Union referral system, all Contractors are required to utilize the
Workforce Dispatch Request Form. When Local Hires are requested by a
Contractor, the Unions will refer Local Hires, to the extent such status is known,
regardless of their place in the Union hiring halls’ list and normal referral
procedures.
5.5 Time for Referral. If any Union’s registration and referral system does not fulfill the
requirements for specific classifications of covered employees requested by any Contractor within forty -
eight (48) hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays), those Contractors may use employment
sources other than Core Employees and the Union registration and referral services and may employ
applicants from any other available source. The Contractor shall promptly notify the Union of any
applicants hired from other sources, and such applicants shall register with the appropriate hiring hall, if
any.
5.6 Lack of Referral Procedure. If a signatory local Union does not have a job referral system

and Contractors shall utilize the grievance procedures set forth in Article 11 of this Agreement to resolve
any disputes regarding skilled and trained workforce requirements. To the maximum extent permissible
under state law and regulation, including California Public Utilities Code § 132354.7(a)(3), Contractors
and City shall be relieved of reporting and enforcement obligations and systems described in Public

6.1 Access to Covered Project Sites. Authorized representatives of the Union shall have access
to Covered Project Sites, provided that they do not interfere with the work of employees and further
provided that such representatives fully comply with posted visitor, security, and safety rules.
6.2 Stewards.
(a) Stewards Authorized. Each signatory local Union shall have the right to dispatch
a working journeyperson as a steward for each shift and shall notify the Contractor
in writing of the identity of the designated steward or stewards prior to the
assumption of such person’s duties as steward. Such designated steward or
stewards shall not exercise any supervisory functions. There will be no non-
working stewards. Stewards will receive the regular rate of pay of their respective
crafts.
(b) Steward Purview. In addition to their work as an employee, the steward shall have
the right to receive, but not to solicit, complaints or grievances and to discuss and
assist in the adjustment of the same with the employee’s appropriate supervisor.
Each steward should be concerned only with the employees of the steward’s
Contractor and not with the employees of any other Contractor. The Contractor
shall not discriminate against the steward in the proper performance of their Union
duties.
(c) Additional Stewards. When a Contractor has multiple, non-contiguous work
locations at one site, the Contractor may request, and the Union shall appoint such
additional working stewards as the Contractor requests to provide independent
coverage of one or more such locations. In such cases, a steward may not service
more than one work location without the approval of the Contractor.
(d) No Overtime Determinations. The stewards shall not have the right to determine
when overtime shall be worked or who shall work overtime.
6.3 Steward Layoff/Discharge. The Contractor agrees to notify the appropriate Union twenty-
four (24) hours before the layoff of a steward, except in the case of disciplinary discharge for just cause. If
the steward is protected against such layoff by the provisions of the applicable Master Labor Agreement,
such provisions shall be recognized when the steward possesses the necessary qualifications to perform the
remaining work. In any case in which the steward is discharged or disciplined for just cause, the appropriate
Union will be notified immediately by the Contractor, and such discharge or discipline shall not become
final (subject to any later filed grievance) until twenty-four (24) hours after such notice has been given.

6.4 Employees on Non-Covered Projects. On work where the personnel of the City or its
contractors may be working in close proximity to the construction activities covered by this Agreement on
non-covered projects, the Union agrees that the Union representatives, stewards, and individual workers
will not interfere with City personnel, or with personnel employed by any other employer not performing
Covered Work. Violation of this provision by stewards and individual workers shall be just cause for
disciplinary discharge. Violation of this provision by Union representatives shall constitute a material
violation of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 7. WAGES AND BENEFITS
7.1 Wages. At a minimum, all employees covered by this Agreement shall be classified in
accordance with work performed and paid hourly wage rates for those classifications in compliance with
the Applicable Prevailing Wage Laws.
7.2 Benefits.
(a) Payment. For all employees performing Covered Work, Contractors shall pay, at
a minimum, all employee fringe benefits and other required Contractor
contributions to the established Union employee benefit funds in the amounts
required by the appliable Master Labor Agreements. In addition, the Contractors
and Unions agree that only such bona fide employee benefits that accrue to the
direct benefit of the employees (such as pension and annuity, health and welfare,
vacation, apprenticeship, and training funds) shall be included in this requirement
and required to be paid by the Contractor for performance of Covered Work.
(b) Benefit Trust Funds. Where benefit payments are required by Section 7.2(a), the
Contractor adopts and agrees to be bound by the written terms of the applicable,
legally established, Union trust agreement(s) specifying in detail how payments
will be made into, and benefits paid out of, such trust funds for its employees. The
Contractor authorizes the parties to such trust funds to appoint trustees and
successors’ trustees to administer the trust funds and hereby ratifies and accepts
the trustees so appointed as if made by the Contractor. The Contractor obligations
to the applicable Union benefit fund(s) and trust agreement(s) are limited to work
performed on Covered Projects. The applicable Union benefit funds and trust
agreement(s) to each Contractor are determined by the pre-job conference and
Union work assignment process described in Articles 9 and 18.
(c) Certification Required. Each Contractor is required to certify to the Project Labor
Coordinator that it has paid all benefit contributions due and owing to the
appropriate Union trust(s) and benefit funds prior to the receipt of its final payment
and/or retention. Further, upon timely notification by a Union to the Project Labor
Coordinator, the Project Labor Coordinator shall work with any Contractor who is
delinquent in payments to assure that proper benefit contributions are made, to the
extent of requesting City and/or the Prime Contractor to withhold payments
otherwise due to such Contractor, until such contributions have been made or
otherwise guaranteed.
(d) Construction Industry Exemption. Notwithstanding any other provisions, this
Agreement is an agreement under Section 8(f) of the National Labor Relations Act,

17
addition, the work performed under this Agreement qualifies for Construction
Industry Exemption under the Employee Retirement and Income Security Act of
1974 (“ERISA”), as amended. If any Union pension trust fund covered by the
terms and conditions of this Agreement does not qualify for the ERISA
Construction Industry Exemption authorized by § 4203(B)(1)(i), as amended, 29
U.S.C. 1383(b)(1)(i), or has not taken the necessary steps to amend the fund
documents to qualify for the Construction Industry Exemption as authorized by
ERISA § 4203(B)(1)(ii), as amended, 29 U.S.C. 1383(b)(1)(B)(ii); and to
recognize the work performed under this Agreement to qualify for the Construction
Industry Exemption, the Contractors signatory to this Agreement will not be
obligated to make pension fund contributions to that fund. In such an event, the
Contractor shall pay all required amounts otherwise allocated for payment toward
the non-exempt fund to the employee’s wages or other bona fide retirement plan
program pursuant to Applicable Prevailing Wage Laws.
7.3 Wage Premiums. Wage premiums, including, but not limited to, pay based on height of
work, shift premiums, hazard pay, scaffold pay, and special skills shall not be applicable to work under this
Agreement, except to the extent provided for in any Applicable Prevailing Wage Laws.
7.4 Compliance with Prevailing Wage Laws. All complaints regarding possible violations of
Applicable Prevailing Wage Laws may be referred to the Project Labor Coordinator for processing,
investigation, and resolution, and if not resolved within thirty (30) calendar days, may be referred by any
Party to the State Labor Commissioner. To facilitate compliance with Applicable Prevailing Wage Laws,
Contractor agrees to provide copies of certified payroll reports, redacted only to the extent required by law,
to the Unions (or to any Labor Management Cooperation Committee in which a Union or its affiliate
participate) within ten (10) Working Days of their request. The Trades Council or Union, as appropriate,
shall be advised in a timely manner with the facts and resolution, if any, of any complaint.
ARTICLE 8. WORK STOPPAGES AND LOCKOUTS
8.1 No Work Stoppages or Disruptive Activity. The Trades Council and the Unions signatory
hereto agree that neither they, nor their respective officers, or agents, or representatives, shall incite,
encourage, condone, or participate in any strike, walkout, slowdown, picketing, observation of picket lines,
or other activity of any nature or kind whatsoever, for any cause or dispute whatsoever with respect to or
in any way related to Covered Projects, or which interferes or otherwise disrupts Covered Projects, or with
respect or related to City or Contractors or subcontractors, including, but not limited to, economic strikes,
unfair labor practices strikes, safety strikes, sympathy strikes, and jurisdictional strikes, whether or not the
underlying dispute is arbitrable. Any such actions by the Trades Council, the Unions, or their members,
agents, representatives, or the employees they represent shall constitute a material violation of this
Agreement. The Trades Council and the Union shall take all steps necessary to ensure compliance with this
Article 8.
8.2 Employee Violations. The Contractor shall discharge any employee violating Section 8.1,
and any such employee shall not be eligible for rehire under this Agreement.
8.3 Standing to Enforce. City and any Contractor affected by an alleged violation of this Article

performance of the Covered Work under a Covered Contract, and the Union or the Contractor gives notice
of demand for a new or modified Master Labor Agreement, the Unions agree that they will not strike the
Contractor on any Covered Project, and the Union and the Contractor agree that the expired Master Labor
Agreement will continue in full force and effect for the Covered Projects until a new or modified Master
Labor Agreement is put in place between the Union and the Contractor. If the new or modified Mast er
Labor Agreement between the Union and the Contractor provides that any terms of the Master Labor
Agreement shall be retroactive, the Contractor agrees to comply, consistent with the terms of this
Agreement and the applicable Prevailing Wage Laws, with any retroactive terms of the new or modified
Master Labor Agreement which are applicable to employees of said Contractor that are employed on a
Covered Project within seven (7) Working Days at no cost to the City. All employees shall continue to
work and to perform all obligations with respect to Covered Work, despite the expiration of any Master
Labor Agreement. Should a Contractor engaged in Covered Projects enter into an interim agreement with
the Unions for work being performed elsewhere after the expiration, and before the renewal of a local
collective bargaining agreement forming the basis for a Master Labor Agreement, such interim agreement
shall be utilized by that Contractor for Covered Projects, subject to the provisions of Section 2.6(c)
(Continuation of Master Labor Agreements).
8.5 No Lockouts. Contractors shall not cause, incite, encourage, condone, or participate in any
Lockout of employees with respect to Covered Projects during the term of this Agreement.
8.6 Best Efforts to End Violations.
(a) Violation by Union. If a Contractor or City contends that there is any violation of

of Section 8.7, provide written notification to the Trades Council of the involved
Union(s) and to the Project Labor Coordinator, setting forth the facts which the
Contractor contends violate this Article. The Trades Council and the leadership of
the involved Union(s) will immediately instruct, order, and use their best efforts to
cause the cessation of any violation of this Article 8.
(b) Violation by Contractor. If the Union contends that any Contractor has violated
this Article, it will notify the Contractor and the Project Labor Coordinator, setting
forth the facts which the Union contends violate this Article 8, at least twenty-four
(24) hours prior to invoking the procedures to Section 8.7. The Project Labor
Coordinator shall promptly order the involved Contractor(s) to cease any violation
of this Article.
8.7 Arbitration Procedure. Any Party, including the City, which is an intended beneficiary of
this Article, and affected Contractors, may institute the following procedures, in -lieu or in addition to any
other action at law or equity, when a breach of this Article is alleged.

procedure shall notify Robert Hirsch, who has been selected by the Parties, and
whom the Parties agree shall be the permanent arbitrator under this procedure, or
John Kagel, as the alternate arbitrator under this procedure. If the permanent
arbitrator is unavailable at any time, the alternate arbitrator will be contacted. If
neither is available, then a selection shall be made by the most expeditious means

written notices may be made by email, hand delivery, or certified mail and will be
deemed effective upon receipt.
(b) Hearing Schedule. Upon receipt of said notice, the arbitrator named above, or their
alternate, shall sit and hold a hearing within seventy-two (72) hours if it is
contended that this violation still exists, but no sooner than twenty-four (24) hours
after notice has been dispatched to the Trades Council of the involved Union(s)
and/or Contractor as required by Section 8.6 above. The arbitrator shall notify the
disputing Parties of the place and time chosen for the hearing, which may be held
in person or via videoconference.
(c) Hearing Procedures. Said hearing shall be completed in one session, which, with
appropriate recesses at the arbitrator’s discretion, shall not exceed twenty-four (24)
hours, unless otherwise agreed upon by all disputing Parties. A failure of any of
the disputing Parties to attend said hearing shall not delay the hearing of evidence
or the issuance of any award by the arbitrator.
(d) Hearing Scope. The sole issue at the hearing shall be whether or not a violation of
this Article has in fact occurred. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider
any matter in justification, explanation, or mitigation of such violation or to award
damages (except for damages as set forth in Section 8.8) which issue is reserved
for court proceedings, if any.
(e) Arbitration Award. The award shall be issued in writing within three (3) hours after
the close of the hearing and may be issued without an opinion. If any Party desires
a written opinion, one shall be issued within fifteen (15) Working Days, but its
issuance shall not delay compliance with, or enforcement of, the award. The
arbitrator may order cessation of the violation of this Article and other appropriate
relief, and such award shall be served on all disputing Parties by email, hand
delivery, or certified mail upon issuance. The amount of liquidated damages
pursuant to Section 8.8 below shall be determined at a second hearing scheduled
by the arbitrator within thirty (30) calendar days of the first hearing to determine
if a violation of this Article has occurred. Such arbitration award shall be final and
binding on all Parties and may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction
upon the filing of this Agreement and all other relevant documents referred to
herein above in the following manner. Written notice of the filing of such
enforcement proceedings shall be given to the other Party. In any judicial
proceeding to obtain a temporary order enforcing the arbitrator’s award as issued
pursuant to this section, all disputing Parties waive the right to a hearing and agree
that such proceedings may be ex parte. Such agreement does not waive any Party’s
right to participate in a hearing for a final order of enforcement. The court’s
order(s) enforcing the arbitrator’s award shall be sent to all disputing Parties.
(f) Waiver. Any rights created by statute or law governing arbitration proceedings
inconsistent with the above procedure or which interfere with compliance hereto
are hereby waived by the Parties and Contractors to whom they accrue.
(g) Shared Expense. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be equally divided
between the Party or Parties initiating this procedure and the respondent Party or
Parties.

8.8 Liquidated Damages.
(a) Work Stoppage or Disruption. If the arbitrator determines in accordance with
Section 8.7 above that a work stoppage or other disruption to a Covered Project ,
pursuant to Section 8.1, has occurred, the respondent Union(s) shall, within eight
(8) hours of receipt of the award, direct all employees they represent on the project
to immediately return to work. If the craft(s) involved do not return to work by the
beginning of the next regularly scheduled shift following such eight (8) hour period
after receipt of the arbitrator’s award, and the respondent Union(s) have not
complied with their obligations to immediately instruct, order, and use their best
efforts to cause a cessation of the violation and return the employees they represent
to work, then the non-complying Union(s) shall each pay a sum as liquidated
damages to the City, and each will pay an additional sum per shift, as set forth in
Section 8.8(c), below, for each shift thereafter on which the craft(s) has/have not
returned to work.
(b) Lockout. If the arbitrator determines that a Lockout has occurred on a Covered
Project, the respondent Contractor shall, within eight (8) hours after receipt of the
award, return all the affected employees to work on the Covered Project , or
otherwise correct the violations found by the arbitrator. If the respondent
Contractor does not take such action by the beginning of the next regular scheduled
shift following the eight (8) hour period, each non-complying respondent
Contractor shall pay or give as liquidated damages, to the affected Union (to be
apportioned among the affected employees and the benefit funds to which
contributions are made on their behalf, as designated by the arbitrator) an amount
equal to the total hourly wages and benefits lost for all affected employees of the
Contractor on Covered Projects. In addition, the Contractor shall pay an additional
sum per shift to the City, as set forth in Section 8.8(c), below, for each shift
thereafter in which compliance by the respondent Contractor has not been
achieved.
(c) Payment of Liquidated Damages to City. The Parties agree that project delays
caused by violations of this Article 8 will cause the City to sustain damages. They
agree that it would be impractical or extremely difficult to fix the amount of such
damages. Therefore, the Parties agree that, in the event of a breach of this Article,
the disputing Party in breach shall pay to the City the sum of $10,000 per shift,
from the time that the arbitrator determines that a delay has occurred until the
arbitrator determines that the Covered Project is no longer disrupted. The payment
of liquidated damages, when made, shall constitute a damages remedy of the City
for the delay specified, but shall not prevent the City from seeking an injunctive or
other monetary relief, including termination of this Agreement. Payment of these
sums as liquidated damages is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty within the
meaning of California Civil Code § 3275 or 3369, but instead, is intended to
constitute liquidated damages to the City pursuant to California Civil Code § 1671.
8.9 Payroll and Benefit Delinquencies. Notwithstanding other provisions of this Agreement, it
shall not be a violation of this Agreement for any Union to withhold the services of its members from a
Contractor who fails to timely pay its weekly payroll in accordance with the applicable Master Labor
Agreement or fails to make timely payments to the applicable Union benefit funds. This Section 8.9 does

Contractor’s failure to meet its weekly payroll, the Union shall give at least five
(5) Working Days written notice of such failure to pay by certified mail or email
transmission, to the involved Contractor, Prime Contractor, and Project Labor
Coordinator. The Prime Contractor, together with the involved Contractor and
affected Union, shall meet within five (5) Working Days after the written notice of
such failure to pay was received to attempt to resolve the payroll delinquency. If
the payroll delinquency remains unresolved, then the affected Union may withhold
the services of its members from the involved Contractor. Upon payment of all
monies due and owing for wages, the Union shall direct its members to
immediately return to work and the Contractor shall return all such members to
work.
(b) Failure to Contribute to Benefit Funds. Prior to withholding its members’ services
for the Contractor’s failure to make timely payments to the applicable Union
benefit funds, the Union shall give at least thirty (30) calendar days written notice
of such failure to pay by certified mail or email transmission, to the involved
Contractor, the Prime Contractor, and the Project Labor Coordinator. The Prime
Contractor, together with the involved Contractor and the affected Union, shall
meet within five (5) Working Days after the written notice of such failure to pay
was sent to attempt to resolve the delinquency. If the delinquency remains
unresolved, then the affected Union may withhold the services of its members from
the involved Contractor. Upon payment by the delinquent Contractor of all monies
due and then owing for employee benefit contributions, the Union shall direct its
members to immediately return to work and the Contractor shall return all such
members back to work.
(c) Grievance Rights Reserved. Nothing in this section should be construed to prevent
the Union having jurisdiction over the involved work from submitting a grievance
under Article 11 for any alleged or actual violations of Article 7 or referring any
alleged or actual prevailing wage violation to the Project Labor Coordinator for
review and enforcement, in accordance with Section 7.4.
(d) Contractor Replacement. City shall have the right to replace any delinquent
Contractor in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable prime
contract with City.
ARTICLE 9. WORK ASSIGNMENTS AND JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES
9.1 No Jobsite Disruption. There will be no strikes, work stoppages, picketing, sympathy
strikes, slowdowns, or other interference with the Covered Work because of jurisdictional disputes between
Unions. The assignment of work will be solely the responsibility of the Contractor pe rforming the work
involved; and such work assignments will be in accordance with the Plan for Settlement of Disputes.
9.2 Jurisdictional Disputes. All jurisdictional disputes on Covered Projects shall be settled and

hear the case, and any other administrative matters necessary to facilitate the timely
resolution of any dispute; provided, however, it is the responsibility of the principal
Parties to any pending grievance to ensure the time limits and deadlines are met.
11.2 Processing Grievances. Any disputes arising out of and during the term of this Agreement
involving the interpretation or application of the applicable Master Labor Agreement(s), but not alleged
violations of Articles 8 or 9, shall be considered a grievance and subject to resol ution under the following

Working Days after the occurrence of the violation, give notice to the work
site representative of the involved Contractor stating the provision(s)
alleged to have been violated, the details of the alleged violation and the
remedy sought to resolve the matter. A grievance shall be considered null
and void if notice of the grievance is not given with the prescribed ten (10)

after timely notice has been given. If they fail to resolve the matter within
the prescribed period, the grieving Party may, within ten (10) Working
Days thereafter, pursue Step 2 of this grievance procedure, provided that
the grievance is reduced to writing, setting forth the relevant information,
including a short description thereof, the date on which the alleged
violation occurred, and the provision(s) of the applicable agreement
alleged to have been violated. Grievances and disputes settled at Step 1
shall be non-precedential, except as to the Parties directly involved.
(2) Union or Contractor Grievances. Should the Union(s) or any Contractor
have a dispute with the other Party(ies) and, if after conferring within ten
(10) Working Days after the disputing Party knew or reasonably should
have known of the facts or occurrence giving rise to the dispute, a
settlement is not reached within five (5) additional Working Days, the
dispute shall be reduced to writing and advanced to Step 2 in the manner
prescribed as Step 1 in Section 11.2(a)(1) above.
(b) Step 2. The business manager of the involved local Union or his or her designee,
together with the site representative of the involved Contractor, and the labor
relations representative of the Project Labor Coordinator, shall meet within seven
(7) Working Days of the referral of the dispute to this second step to arrive at a
satisfactory settlement thereof. If the Parties fail to reach an agreement, the dispute
may be appealed in writing in accordance with the provisions of Step 3 below
within seven (7) calendar days after the initial meeting under Step 2.
(c) Step 3. If the grievance shall have been submitted but not resolved under Step 2,
either the Union or the Contractor Party may request in writing to the Project Labor
Coordinator (with copy[ies] to the other Party[ies]) within seven (7) calendar days
after the initial Step 2 meeting, that the grievance by submitted to an arbitrator
selected from the agreed-upon list below, on a rotational basis in the order listed.
Those arbitrators are: (1) Robert M. Hirsch; (2) Kenneth Perea; (3) Sara Adler; (4)
John Kagel; (5) Michael Prihar; (6) Michael Rappaport; and (7) Fred Horowitz.
The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on all Parties, and the costs
and expenses of such arbitration shall be borne equally by the involved
Contractor(s) and the involved Union(s).
(d) Failure of the grieving Party to adhere to the time limits established herein shall
render the grievance null and void. The time limits established herein may be
extended only by written consent of the Parties involved at the particular step
where the extension is agreed upon. The arbitrator shall have the authority to make
decisions only on issues presented and shall not have the authority to change,
amend, add to, or detract from any of the provisions of this Agreement or the
applicable Master Labor Agreement.
11.3 Limitations on Use of Procedures. Procedures outlined in this Article 11 shall not be
applicable to any alleged violation of Article 8 or 9, with the single exception that any employee discharged
pursuant to Section 8.2 may apply the procedures of this Article 11 to determine only if he/she was, in fact,
engaged in a violation of Section 8.1.

ARTICLE 15. APPRENTICES
15.1 Importance of Training. The Parties recognize the need to maintain continuing support of
the programs designed to develop adequate numbers of competent workers in the construction industry, the
obligation to capitalize on the availability of the City’s local work force, and the opportunities to provide
continuing work on Covered Projects for Local Residents. To these ends, and consistent with all applicable
laws and regulations, the Parties will facilitate, encourage, and assist Local Residents to commence and
progress in Apprenticeship Programs and/or apprentice readiness programs in the construction industry
leading to participation in such Apprenticeship Programs. The City, the Contractors, the Trades Council,

and the Unions will work cooperatively to identify, or establish and maintain, effective programs and
procedures for persons interested in entering the construction industry which will help prepare them for
entry into Apprenticeship Programs. Apprentices, if utilized, must be enrolled in a California
Apprenticeship Council-approved Apprenticeship Program.
15.2 Use of Apprentices.
(a) The Unions and Contractors agree to cooperate in referring and employing
Apprentices up to the maximum percentage allowed by the State Labor Code and
the standards of each Joint Labor-Management Apprenticeship Program. The
minimum ratios for Apprentice to journeyperson hours worked shall, at a
minimum, comply with the applicable provisions of the California Labor Code
relating to utilization of Apprentices. City, unless otherwise required by law, shall
encourage such utilization, and both as to Apprentices and the overall supply of
experienced workers, the Project Labor Coordinator will work with the Council,
Apprenticeship Programs, and Contractors to assure appropriate and maximum
utilization of Apprentices and the continuing availability of both Apprentices and
journeypersons.
(b) The Parties and Contractors will comply with all applicable laws and regulations
in the request for dispatch and employment of Apprentices.
(c) The Parties agree that Apprentices will not be dispatched to Contractors working
under this Agreement unless there is a journeyperson or other Contractor employee
working on the Covered Project where the Apprentice is to be employed who is
qualified to assist and oversee the Apprentice’s progress through the
Apprenticeship Program in which he/she is participating.
ARTICLE 16. WORK OPPORTUNITIES PROGRAM
16.1 Intent. The Parties to this Agreement support the development of increased numbers of
skilled construction workers from among residents of the City and San Diego County to meet the labor
needs of Covered Projects specifically and the requirements of the local co nstruction industry generally.
Towards that end, the Parties agree to cooperate respecting the establishment of a Work Opportunities
Program for Local Residents, the primary goals of which shall be to maximize construction work
opportunities for Local Residents. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Unions specifically agree to:
(a) Support a pre-apprenticeship program for Local Residents, including students,
whereby residents will be trained in a pre-apprenticeship skill to enable them to
gain employment/training within the signatory Unions; and
(b) Encourage the referral and utilization, to the extent permitted by law and hiring
hall practices, of qualified Local Residents as journeymen, apprentices, and
trainees on Covered Projects and entrance into such qualified apprenticeship and
training programs as may be operating by signatory Unions.
(c) The Unions shall assist Local Residents in contacting the pre-apprenticeship
program for the crafts and trades they are interested in. The Unions shall assist
Local Residents who are seeking Union jobs on the Covered Projects and Union

gained working for non-union Contractors. The Unions shall put on their rolls
qualified bona fide Local Residents for work on the Covered Projects.
(d) Upon request, the Council shall make progress reports to the City on the Work
Opportunities Program, including the number and employment disposition of
Local Resident applicants who have been contacted, recruited, and participated in
the Work Opportunities Program through their outreach efforts. This report shall
identify individuals from traditionally underrepresented groups.
ARTICLE 17. HELMETS TO HARDHATS
17.1 Veterans Entry into Building and Construction Trades. The Parties recognize a desire to
facilitate the entry into the building and construction trades of Veterans who are interested in careers in the
building and construction industry. The Contractors and Unions agree to utilize the services of the Center
and the Center’s “Helmets to Hardhats” program as a resource for preliminary orientation, assessment and
construction aptitude, referral to apprenticeship programs or hiring halls, counseling and mentoring, support
network, employment opportunities and other needs as identified by the Parties.
17.2 Integrated Database. The Unions and Contractors agree to coordinate with the Center to
create and maintain an integrated database of Veterans interested in working on the Covered Projects and
of apprenticeship and employment opportunities for the Covered Projects.
ARTICLE 18. PRE-JOB CONFERENCE
18.1 Pre-Job Conference Required. Each Contractor is required to conduct a pre-job conference
with the Unions, not later than fourteen (14) calendar days prior to commencing the Covered Work. The
purpose of the pre-job conference will be to, among other things, convey craft workforce needs, the
schedule of Covered Work, Covered Project work rules, and propose preliminary Union work assignments.
The Project Labor Coordinator may work with the Prime Contractor and Trades Council to facilitate the
scheduling of all pre-job conferences, but ensuring each Contractor conducts a pre-job conference in
accordance with this Agreement is the responsibility of the Prime Contractor. All preliminary Union work
assignments shall be disclosed by each Contractor at a pre-job conference. Should there be work within the
scope of a Covered Contract for a Covered Project that was not previously assigned a pre-job conference,
or additional work be added to the scope of a Covered Project, the Contractor(s) performing such Covered
Work will conduct a separate pre-job conference. Any Union in disagreement with a proposed assignment
shall notify the affected Contractor of its position in writing, with a copy sent to the Project Labor
Coordinator, within seven (7) calendar days after the pre-job conference occurred. Within seven (7)
calendar days after the period allowed for Union notices of disagreement with the Contractor’s proposed
assignments, but prior to the commencement of any Covered Work, the Contractor shall make final
assignments in writing with copies sent to the Project Labor Coordinator and Trades Council.
18.2 Failure to Conduct. A Contractor’s failure to conduct a pre-job conference in accordance
with this Agreement is considered a breach of contract, and any affected Union may pursue a grievance
pursuant to Article 11 of this Agreement to seek a remedy for such a violation. Pro vided, however, if the
Contractor has conducted a pre-job conference in accordance with this Agreement, that Contractor is not
required to participate in any additional pre-job conferences or mark-up meetings related to the original
scope(s) of Covered Work assigned at the pre-job conference.
18.3 Project Labor Coordinator Participation. The Project Labor Coordinator may attend and
facilitate each pre-job conference. At each pre-job conference, the Project Labor Coordinator shall address

the programs, goals, and outcomes related to Local Resident employment, as well as the progress of
implementing the Work Opportunities Program.
ARTICLE 19. LABOR/MANAGEMENT AND COOPERATION
19.1 Labor/Management Collaboration Meetings. The Parties will conduct periodic
labor/management collaboration meetings, which will be chaired jointly by a designee of the City and a
designee of the Trades Council. The co-chairs shall determine the frequency and scheduling of the meetings
with the assistance of the Project Labor Coordinator. The purpose of the meetings shall be to update the
Parties regarding the progress and schedule of Covered Projects, promote harmonious and stable labor
management relations, ensure effective and constructive communication between labor and management
Parties, advance the proficiency of work in the industry, and to evaluate and ensure an adequate supply of
skilled labor for all Covered Projects. The Project Labor Coordinator shall prepare reports detailing the
outcomes of the Local Resident and Apprentice utilization goals on each Covered Project, and the
implementation and progress of the Work Opportunities Program. All Parties will be invited to attend the
labor/management collaboration meetings. Substantive grievances or disputes shall not be reviewed or
discussed at such meetings but shall instead be processed pursuant to the appropriate provisions of this
Agreement.
ARTICLE 20. LEGAL ACTION
20.1 Legal Action. City, Trades Council, and Unions recognize the substantial legal costs
(including all attorney’s fees and associated disbursements) that might accrue with regard to any legal
challenge over this Agreement and related to claims directly challenging the legality of this Agreement, or
a particular section or language that has been adopted herein. In the event of a legal challenge, the Trades
Council, on behalf of itself and affiliated Unions, agrees to seek to intervene in the legal action and actively
participate in the litigation or other action to defend the legality of this Agreement, or a particular section
or language herein. The failure of the Trades Council to seek to intervene in the legal action and actively
participate to defend the legality of this Agreement will constitute a material breach of this Agreement. In
the event the Trades Council is denied leave to intervene in the legal action, the Trades Council shall have
its counsel coordinate with counsel for the City, at the Trades Council’s sole expense, regarding how the
Trades Council can best support City’s legal position.
ARTICLE 21. SAVINGS AND SEVERABILITY
21.1 Savings Clause. It is not the intention of the City, the Project Labor Coordinator, the
Contractor, or the Union Parties to violate any laws governing the subject matter of this Agreement. The
Parties hereto agree that in the event any provision of this Agreement is finally held or determined to be
illegal or void as being in contravention of any applicable law or regulation, the remainder of the Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect unless the part or parts so found to be void are wholly inseparable from
the remaining portions of this Agreement. Further, the parties agree that if and when any provision(s) of
this Agreement is finally held or determined to be illegal or void by a court of competent jurisdiction, the
Parties will promptly enter into negotiations concerning the substantive effect of such decision for the
purposes of achieving conformity with the requirements of any applicable laws and then intent of the Parties
hereto. If the legality of this Agreement is challenged and any form of injunctive relief is granted by any
court, suspending temporarily or permanently the implementation of this Agreement, then the Parties agree
that all Covered Projects that would otherwise be covered by this Agreement should continue to be bid and
constructed without application of this Agreement so that there is no delay or interference with the ongoing
planning, bidding, and construction of any Covered Project.

21.2 Effect of Injunctions or Other Court Orders. The Parties recognize the right of the City to
withdraw, at its absolute discretion, the utilization of the Agreement as part of any bid specification, should
a court of competent jurisdiction issue any order, or any applicable statute that could result, temporarily or
permanently, in the delay of the bidding, awarding, and/or construction of the Covered Project.
ARTICLE 22. WAIVER
22.1 Waiver. A waiver of, or a failure to assert, any provision of this Agreement by any or all
of the Parties hereto shall not constitute a waiver of such provision in the future. Any such waiver shall not
constitute a modification of this Agreement or a change in the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and
shall not relieve, excuse, or release any of the Parties from any of their rights, duties, or obligations
hereunder.
ARTICLE 23. AMENDMENTS
23.1 Amendments. The provisions of this Agreement can be renegotiated, supplemented,
rescinded, or otherwise altered only by mutual agreement in writing, hereafter signed by the City and the
Trades Council.
ARTICLE 24. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

be construed as including both genders and not as gender limitations unless the Agreement clearly requires
a different construction. Further, the use of Article titles and/or Section headings are for information only
and carry no legal significance.

BACKGROUND
PAGE
1 OF4
Disabled Veterans have made immeasurable sacrifices to protect the citizens of this country. These
sacrifices have not gone unnoticed. The State and various local agencies, whether city or county, have
enacted certain programs to assist Disabled Veterans and provide them with opportunities to
participate in the procurement of State and local contracts. Such programs are called "Disabled
Veterans Business Enterprise" programs. Similar programs also exist for small businesses. Small
businesses tend to be economic drivers of local economies, so their growth is an important aspect of
the success and growth of communities. However, small businesses often don't have sufficient
understanding of government contracting practices to participate in a meaningful way in the
government contracting process, so agencies have established "Small Business Enterprise" programs.

end and to the extent not in conflict with other laws, the City Council, through this Policy, establishes
a three-percent (3%) DVBE and three-percent (3%) SBE participation goal for all City contracts
within the scope of this policy and authorizes the City Manager or his/her designee to establish
procedures to implement this policy.

EXHIBIT D – DRUG AND ALCOHOL TESTING POLICY
The Parties recognize the problems that drug and alcohol abuse have created in the construction
industry and the need to develop drug and alcohol abuse prevention programs. Accordingly, the
Parties agree that in order to enhance the safety of the workplace and to maintain a drug and
alcohol-free work environment, individual Contractors shall require applicants or employees to
undergo drug and alcohol testing in accordance with this PLA and this policy, Exhibit D – Drug
and Alcohol Testing Policy, hereafter the “Policy.”
1.It is understood that the use, possession, transfer, or sale of illegal drugs, narcotics, or other
unlawful substances, as well as being under the influence of alcohol and the possession of
or consuming alcohol is absolutely prohibited while employees are on the Contractor’s job
premises or while working on any jobsite in connection with work performed under the
PLA.
2.No Contractor may implement a drug and alcohol testing program that does not conform
in all respects to the provisions of this Policy.
3.No Contractor may implement drug and alcohol testing at any jobsite unless written notice
is given to the Union setting forth the location of the jobsite, a description of the project
under construction, and the name and telephone number of the Prime Contractor's project
manager. Said notice shall be provided at the pre-job conferences for each Covered Project.
Failure to give such notice shall make any drug and alcohol testing engaged in by the
Contractor a violation of the Agreement and subject to the Article 11 grievance procedure.
4.A Contractor who elects to implement drug and alcohol testing pursuant to this Policy shall
require all craft employees on the Covered Project to be tested. With respect to individuals
who become employed on the Covered Project subsequent to the proper implementation of
a valid drug and alcohol testing program, such test shall be administered upon the
commencement of employment on the project, whether by referral from a Union Dispatch
Office, transfer from another project, or another method. Individuals who were employed
on the project prior to proper implementation of a valid drug and alcohol testing program
may only be subjected to testing for the reasons set forth in paragraphs 5(g)(l) through
5(g)(3) and paragraphs 6(a) through 6(e) of this Policy. Refusal to undergo such testing
shall be considered sufficient grounds to deny employment on the project.
5.The following procedure shall apply to all drug and alcohol testing:
a.The Contractor may request urine samples only. The applicant or employee shall not
be observed when the urine specimen is given. An applicant or employee, at his or her
sole option, shall, upon request, receive a blood test in lieu of a urine test. No employee
of the Contractor shall draw blood from a bargaining unit employee, touch or handle
urine specimens, or in any way become involved in the chain of custody of urine or
blood specimens. A Union business representative, subject to the approval of the
individual applicant or employee, shall be permitted to accompany the applicant or

employee to the collection facility to observe the collection, bottling, and sealing of the
specimen.
b. A Contractor may request an applicant or employee promptly, within four (4) hours of
the Contractor’s request, perform an alcohol breathalyzer test at a certified laboratory
only, and cutoff levels shall be those mandated by applicable state or federal law.
c. The testing shall be done by a laboratory approved by the Substance Abuse & Mental
Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), which is chosen by the Contractor and the
Union.
d. An initial test shall be performed using the Enzyme Multiplied Immunoassay
Technique (EMIT). In the event a question or positive result arises from the initial test,
a confirmation test must be utilized before action can be taken against the applicant or
employee. The confirmation test will be by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry
(GC/MS). Cutoff levels for both the initial test and confirmation test will be those
established by SAMHSA and this Policy. Should these SAMHSA levels be changed
during the course of the PLA or new testing procedures are approved, then these new
regulations will be deemed as part of this existing PLA. Confirmed positive samples
will be retained by the testing laboratory in secured long-term frozen storage for a
minimum of one (1) year. Handling and transportation of each sample must be
documented through strict chain-of-custody procedures.
e. In the event of a confirmed positive test result, the applicant or employee may request,
within forty-eight (48) hours, a sample of his/her specimen from the testing laboratory
for purposes of a second test to be performed at a second laboratory, designated by the
Union and approved by SAMHSA. The retest must be performed within ten (10)
calendar days of the request. Chain of custody for this sample shall be maintained by
the Contractor between the original testing laboratory and the Union's designated
laboratory. Retesting shall be performed at the applicant’s or employee’s expense. In
the event of conflicting test results, the Contractor may require a third test, at the
Contractor’s expense.
f. If, as a result of the above testing procedure, it is determined that an applicant or
employee has tested positive, this shall be considered sufficient grounds to deny the
applicant or employee his/her employment on the project.
g. No individual who tests negative for drugs and alcohol pursuant to the above procedure
and becomes employed on the project shall again be subjected to drug and alcohol
testing with the following exceptions:
1) Employees who are involved in industrial accidents resulting in damage to plant,
property, or equipment or injury to him/her or others may be tested for drugs or
alcohol pursuant to the procedures stated hereinabove.

2) The Contractor may test employees following thirty (30) days' advance written
notice to the employee(s) to be tested and to the applicable Union. Notice to the
applicable Union shall be sent by certified mail to the affected Union with a copy
to the Project Labor Coordinator. Such testing shall be pursuant to the procedures
stated hereinabove.
3) The Contractor may test an employee where the Contractor has reasonable cause to
believe that the employee is impaired from performing his/her job. Reasonable
cause shall be defined as being aberrant or unusual behavior, the type of which is a
recognized and accepted symptom of impairment (e.g., slurred speech, unusual lack
of muscular coordination). Such behavior must be actually observed by at least two
(2) persons, one (1) of whom shall be a supervisor who has been trained to
recognize the symptoms of drug and alcohol abuse or impairment and the other of
whom shall be the Job Steward. If the Job Steward is unavailable or there is no Job
Steward on the Covered Project, the other person shall be a member of the
applicable Union’s bargaining unit. Testing shall be pursuant to the procedures
stated hereinabove. Employees who are tested pursuant to the exceptions set forth
in this paragraph and who test positive will be removed from the Contractor's
payroll.
h. Applicants or employees who do not test positive shall be paid for all time lost while
undergoing drug and alcohol testing. Payment shall be at the applicable wage and
benefit rates set forth in the applicable Union’s Master Labor Agreement. Applicants
who have been dispatched from the Union and who are not put to work pending the
results of a test will be paid waiting time until such time as they are put to work. It is
understood that an applicant must pass the test as a condition of employment.
Applicants who are put to work pending the results of a test will be considered
probationary employees.
6. The Contractors will be allowed to conduct periodic jobsite drug and alcohol testing on the
Covered Project under the following conditions:
a. The entire jobsite must be tested, including any employee or subcontractor's employee
who worked on that project three (3) Working Days before or after the date of the test;
b. Jobsite testing cannot commence sooner than fifteen (15) Working Days after start of
the work on the project;
c. Prior to start of periodic testing, a Business Representative will be allowed to conduct
an educational period on company time to explain periodic jobsite testing program to
affected employees;
d. Testing shall be conducted by an SAMHSA-certified laboratory, pursuant to the
provisions set forth in paragraph 5 hereinabove.
e. Only two (2) periodic tests may be performed in a twelve (12)-month period.

7. It is understood that the unsafe use of prescribed medication, or where the use of prescribed
medication impairs the employee's ability to perform work, is a basis for the Contractor to
remove the employee from the jobsite.
8. Any grievance or dispute that may arise out of the application of this Policy shall be subject
to the grievance and arbitration procedures set forth in the PLA.
9. The establishment or operation of this Policy shall not curtail any right of any employee
found in any law, rule, or regulation. Should any part of this Policy be found unlawful by
a court of competent jurisdiction or a public agency having jurisdiction over the Parties,
the remaining portions of the Agreement shall be unaffected, and the Parties shall enter
negotiations to replace the affected provision.
10. Present employees, if tested positive, shall have the prerogative for rehabilitation program
at the employee’s expense. When such program has been successfully completed, the
Contractor shall not discriminate in any way against the employee. If work for which the
employee is qualified exists, he/she may be reinstated.
11. The Contractor agrees that results of urine and blood tests performed hereunder will be
considered medical records held confidential to the extent permitted or required by law.
Such records shall not be released to any persons or entities other than designated
Contractor representatives and the applicable Union. Such release to the applicable Union
shall only be allowed upon the signing of a written release by the employee, and the
information contained therein shall not be used to discourage the employment of the
individual applicant or employee on any subsequent occasion.
12. Employees who seek voluntary assistance for substance abuse may not be disciplined for
seeking such assistance. Requests from employees for such assistance shall remain
confidential and shall not be revealed to other employees or management personnel without
the employee's consent. Employees enrolled in substance abuse programs will be subject
to all Contractor rules, regulations, and job performance standards with the understanding
that an employee enrolled in such a program is receiving treatment for an illness.
13. The Contractor shall indemnify and hold the Union harmless against any and all claims,
demands, suits, or liabilities that may arise out of the application of this Policy.
14. This Policy shall constitute the only Policy in effect between the Parties concerning drug
and alcohol abuse, prevention, and testing. Any modifications thereto must be
accomplished pursuant to collective bargaining negotiations between the Parties.

ITEM TITLE
Contract: Award a Progressive Design-Build Contract with BNBuilders, Inc. for the Design and Construction
of the Civic Center Library Infrastructure Renovation and South Library Infrastructure Renovation Projects
(CIP Nos. GGV0271 & GGV0272)
Report Number: 26-0018
Location: Civic Center Library, 365 F Street, Chula Vista, CA 91910, and South Library, 389 Orange Avenue,
Chula Vista, CA 91911
Department: Engineering
G.C. § 84308 Regulations Apply: Yes
Environmental Notice: The Project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1 (Existing Facilities).
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution awarding a Progressive Design-Build contract between the City and BNBuilders, Inc. for
design and construction of Civic Center Library Infrastructure Renovation and South Library Infrastructure
Renovation Projects (CIP Nos. GGV0271 & GGV0272).
SUMMARY
The City was awarded a grant through the Building Forward Library Facilities Improvement Program. The
equity-based grant program helps pay for capital projects for public library buildings that address critical
maintenance needs, improve energy efficiency and sustainability, extend digital access, and expand physical
access to library facilities. The Department of Engineering and Capital Projects issued a Request for
Qualifications and Proposals (RFP/RFQ) from qualified Design-Build entities from which BNBuilders Inc. was
selected as the Design-Build entity that would provide the best value based on the selection criteria set forth
in the RFP/RFQ.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed project has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) and it has been determined that the project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption pursuant to State
CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1 (Existing Facilities), because the proposed project would not result

in a significant effect on the environment, create a cumulative impact, damage a scenic highway, or cause a
substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. Thus, no further environmental review
is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
Civic Center and South Library branches require major interior and exterior renovations in order to meet
the evolving needs of the community and staff. The renovations planned for this project include
modernization and/or repairs to electrical systems, HVAC, plumbing, finishes, elevator, lighting and asbestos
abatement. To help address these needs City staff applied for the Building Forward Library Facilities
Improvement Program grant through the Californian State Librarian. The Building Forward Program is the
largest single investment made by the state in California’s public libraries. The equity -based grant program
helps pay for capital projects for public library buildings that address critical maintenance needs, improve
energy efficiency and sustainability, extend digital access, and expand physical access to library facilities.
On October 9, 2023, the City received notice from the California State Librarian of intent to award two grants
under this program of $9,735,000 each for the Civic Center Library and South Library totaling $19,470,000.
On December 5th, 2023, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista passed a resolution authorizing the grant
application, acceptance, and execution of the grant funds and appropriating the funds for the Civic Center
Library and South Library project via Resolution 2023-190.
Staff determined that the delivery method best suited to this project is Progressive Design-Build. Progressive
Design-Build is a delivery method where the initial contract includes design and preconstruction fees, but
does not contain a construction price. The Design-Build team works collaboratively with the City to develop
a final design and scope within project budget. Once the design is sufficiently developed, the Design-Build
Entity solicits bids from suppliers and trade contractors. The Design-Builder then evaluates and selects the
bids based on best value with input from the City and proposes a guaranteed maximum construction price
(GMP) for construction cost. The construction scope of work and cost is then incorporated to the contract by
change order.
On September 23, 2025, the City issued a Request for Qualifications and Proposals (Project-Specific
RFP/RFQ) from Design-Build Entities pursuant to Chapter 2.57 of the City's Municipal Code for the design
and construction of the Civic Center Library and South Library project.
On October 4, 2025, proposals were received from seven companies: BNBuilders Inc., CORE West, Inc., EC
Constructors Inc., Edwards Construction Group Inc., McCarthy Building Companies, Inc., Rudolph and Sletten,
Inc., and Suffolk Construction Company Inc. The selection process set out in the RFQ/RFP was followed. Upon
evaluation of the proposals and statements of qualifications by a panel of staff from the Engineering, Public
Works, and Library Departments, five proposers’ scores qualified them to move on to the interview and
reference check phase of selection. Engineering staff conducted interviews of the five selected proposers on
December 18 and 22, 2025. The proposers’ references were evaluated by Engineering staff and the fee
proposals were evaluated based on the formula in the RFP/RFQ.
Page 382 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
P a g e | 3
Upon totaling the proposers’ scores per the methodology in the RFP/RFQ, BNBuilders Inc. scores indicate
that they will provide the best value to the City. BNBuilders Inc. is currently an active licensed Class A,
General Engineering Contractor and Class B, General Building Contractor, (License No. 799131). BNBuilders
Inc. proposal of $1,493,263.91 for the design and preconstruction fee was also determined to be reasonable
in cost.
Staff recommends awarding a contract to BNBuilders Inc. in the amount of $1,493,263.91 for the design and
preconstruction fees. Pursuant to section 2.56.160(C)(2) of the City Municipal Code, the Public Works
Director, or City Engineer, may approve change orders for the construction phase work or other work up to
the CIP budget for this project.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of Council Members and has found no property holdings within
1,000 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Consequently, this item does
not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under California Code of
Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(7) or (8), for purposes of the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code
§87100, et seq.).
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this resolution will award an agreement with BNBuilders Inc. for Progressive Design-Build
Services for Project GGV0271 – Civic Center Library Infrastructure Renovation and GGV0272 – South Library
Infrastructure Renovation. Sufficient funding to cover the cost of the projects is budgeted within Projects
GGV0241 and GGV0272. There is no additional current-year fiscal impact anticipated as a result of this action.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed agreement will have no ongoing fiscal impact, as all costs associated with the completion of
Projects GGV0271 and GGV0272 will be covered within the projects’ grant-funded budgets, with no
additional funding required. Upon completion, the improvements will require routine facilities maintenance
which will be addressed through the annual budget development process in future years.

comply with, any provision or requirement of the Contract Documents, unless such deviation or failure has
been identified as such in writing in the Document submitted by the DBE and approved by the City. The
City Representative shall be authorized to approve the Construction Documents and any amendments or
changes to the design, subject to the limits outlined above.
3.3 Construction Phase Permits. DBE shall be responsible for obtaining and fulfilling all
obligations of all building, grading, and other permits to provide a fully functional facility meeting the
intent of the Scope of Services. This Contract shall not apply to, and shall not in any way bind the AHJ.

developing Construction Documents that are sufficient to receive a building permit or other permits for the
Construction Services. DBE shall be fully responsible to comply with all permit requirements and obtain a
Certificate of Occupancy closeout documentation all other permits.
3.4 Constructability and Value Engineering. DBE acknowledges and agrees that City has
procured a single design-build entity for the purpose of delivering an integrated and efficient project. DBE
shall therefore ensure that its Design Professionals, construction managers, project managers and all other
components of the DBE team work collaboratively and proactively to reduce costs and time. As such, DBE
shall engage in constructability review during the Preconstruction Phase to ensure that its construction team
will be able to complete the project in an efficient and effective manner. DBE’s various components shall
also collaborate on value engineering opportunities to reduce the Construction Services costs prior to
completion of 100% Construction Documents. DBE shall include City in discussions on value engineering
and opportunities to consider cost reductions, both prior to and after establishment of the GMP. Proceeding

with Construction. DBE shall not commence Construction Services until the AHJ approves the 100%
Construction Documents and the City issues a Notice to Proceed with Construction. DBE may request a
Notice to Proceed with Construction prior to completion of the 100% Construction Documents, and City
may issue same, provided that DBE shall not construct any portion of the Project until the design of such
portion has been approved. The Guaranteed Completion Date shall run from the Notice to Proceed with
Construction even if issued prior to completion of the 100% Construction Documents.
(a) DBE may request, and City may grant in its sole discretion, an early limited Notice
to Proceed allowing DBE to begin limited portions of Construction Phase work (such as grading or site
preparation work) prior to commencing the Contract Time to complete construction.
(b) DBE shall not commence construction unless the GMP has been determined;
except that, DBE may request and City may issue an early limited Notice to Proceed with a specific portion

delivery times.
(d) City’s refusal to issue an early limited Notice to Proceed shall not be a basis for
any delay damages or other cost adjustments during the Construction Phase.
4. Subcontractor Selection.
4.1 Selection Process. DBE shall solicit bids for all first-tier Subcontractors through an open
and competitive process. The solicitation shall notify bidders of the basis for the award. City may allow for
a best value selection, provided that DBE notifies City in advance of the advertisement. A best value
determination shall consider price but may account for other defined factors as well and may include
negotiations with one or more bidders. If not using best value, the award shall be given to the lowest,
responsive and qualified bidder. DBE may reject any bids that are not responsive or that are from
unqualified bidders, or DBE may reject all bids.
4.2 Timing. DBE shall solicit Subcontractor bids following approval of the 90% Construction
Documents and prior to submittal of the GMP Proposal and 100% Construction Documents. DBE, with
City’s concurrence, may solicit Subcontractors at an earlier time provided that the design is sufficiently
complete to enable adequate Subcontractor bids. DBE shall submit all Subcontractor bids to the City for
City’s accepting prior to awarding the Subcontracts.
4.3 No Liability. Subcontractors shall not be entitled to any payment unless and until
Construction Services are performed following a duly issued Notice to Proceed. City shall not be liable to
DBE or any Subcontractors or bidders for any costs incurred in formulating bids or in reliance on
commencing work. DBE shall include language in its Subcontractor solicitations to expressly limit City’s
liability to bidders and Subcontractors. City may, notwithstanding its approval of Subcontractor
solicitations or awards, elect not to move forward with approving the GMP. In the event that DBE does not
perform Construction Services, it shall terminate all Subcontracts at no cost to the City. DBE shall be
responsible for all costs resulting from the Subcontractor solicitations and shall defend and indemnify City
in accordance with the General Conditions.

Requirements allowance. The DBE may provide General Requirements in any manner
including self-performed. If self-performed, DBE shall keep time and material records and
submit them to the City as substantiation of the work. DBE shall submit for City approval
labor rates to be used as the basis for General Requirements costs. The City may require
backup documentation to substate the proposed labor rates.
E. The GMP proposal shall include a listing of items included in the General Requirements
allowance. The table below outlines allowable General Requirements allowance items.

City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
Attachment 4 – General Conditions 46
B. FF&E is typically a City allowance item.
9.5 Allowance Process
A. The DBE shall carry both types of allowances (DBE and City) as directed by the City in
its Schedule of Values as part of the Construction Cost. Allowances shall only be used for
their identified specific and discrete purpose. Allowance balances may not be used to make
up deficits on other line items. The City shall authorize use of Allowances with written
authorization, except in the case of General Requirements allowance use.
B. The Design-Builder’s charges against either allowance shall consist of either time-and-
material or City-approved lump sum direct costs from trade contractors. The Design-
Builder shall include trade contractor mark-up on these direct cost items in accordance with
the Contract. No DBE mark-up, fee, or bonds in addition to that specified in section
5.5 Components of Guaranteed Maximum Price Proposal of the Contract Terms
shall be added to allowance expenditures. Upon completion of a Design-Builder
allowance item, and if the allowance has not been fully expended, the City shall process a
credit change order for the unused balance of the allowance plus applicable mark-up, fee,
or bonds. If a City’s Allowance is exceeded the City shall process a change order in
accordance with the Contract General Conditions to compensate the Design-Builder for the
overrun.
C. The Design-Builder shall itemize the use of the allowances and account for the allowance
balances on a separate accounting accompanying the monthly payment request.
9.6 DBE Contingency
A. DBE shall be allowed a construction contingency as a percent Construction Cost Budget
and included in the GMP. No additional DBE mark-up, fee, or bonds in addition to that
specified in section 5.5 Components of Guaranteed Maximum Price Proposal of
the Contract Terms shall be added to contingency expenditures. DBE shall calculate
proposed fees based on this. The use of the DBE contingency shall require written approval
by the City, but no reasonable use shall be disallowed. The DBE shall pay the trade
contractors in accordance with the Changes Order section of the General Conditions for
additional work paid for from the DBE contingency. DBE shall itemize the use of the
contingency and account for the contingency balance on a separate accounting
accompanying the monthly payment request. Contingency-eligible costs in excess of the
contingency amount shall be borne by the DBE. The following are examples of eligible
and ineligible uses of contingency and owner paid change orders.
1. Eligible uses of Contingency:
a. Re-work due to ambiguities or conflict in construction documents.
b. Work shown or inferred on construction documents but missing from bid
packages.
c. Work shown or inferred in the construction documents, but not described to the
extent that it is sufficient to obtain competitive bids.
d. Security personnel to control unexpected union picketing.

a. Additional Project management staff.
b. Weather protection of work or materials for the benefit of subcontractors.
c. Insurance co-pay or deductible costs.
d. Work specified in subcontracts.
3. City’s responsibility for Change Orders shall be limited to the following:
a. City-initiated changes.
b. City-initiated additional work.
c. Unforeseen Site Conditions if not able to be reasonably anticipated.
9.7 Failure to Agree on GMP.
A. If City and DBE cannot agree on a GMP, then City may terminate the Contract. In that
event, the City may use the Construction Documents for it’s own purposes per Article 3 of
these General Conditions.
ARTICLE 10 -CHANGE IN CONTRACT PRICE; CHANGE IN CONTRACT TIMES
10.1 Contract Change Orders.
A. City, without invalidating the Contract, may order changes in the work consisting of additions,
deletions or other revisions, and the GMP and/or Contract Time shall be adjusted accordingly.
All such changes in the Work shall be authorized by written Change Order and shall be
performed under the applicable conditions of the Contract Documents. No changes in the Work
covered by this Contract shall exonerate any surety or any bond given in connection with this
Contract. No dispute, disagreement or failure of the Parties to reach agreement on the terms of
a Change Order shall relieve DBE from the obligation to proceed with performance of the
changed work promptly and expeditiously.
10.2 Contract Change Order Procedures.
A. City Directive
1. City may direct changes in the Work, including deletion of Work, by delivering a
written work directive. City shall have the right to order changes in the Work by a
Page 455 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
Attachment 4 – General Conditions 48
unilateral Change Order setting forth City’s determination of the reasonable additions
or savings in the GMP and/or Guaranteed Completion Date.
2. To the extent a work directive results in a change to the GMP and/or Guaranteed
Completion Date, or DBE contests a unilateral Change Order, DBE must timely submit
a Change Order Request and comply with all Change Order procedures in accordance
with this Article. Notwithstanding issuance of a work directive or unilateral Change
Order, DBE’s failure to timely submit a Change Order Request shall constitute a
waiver by DBE of any adjustment to the GMP and/or Guaranteed Completion Date.
3. City shall not be liable to DBE for work performed or omitted by DBE in reliance on
verbal orders.
B. Unanticipated Subsurface Site Conditions
1. City assumes risks for unanticipated subsurface site conditions provided DBE notifies
City in writing within five (5) calendar days of discovery if DBE believes it has
uncovered or revealed a condition which:
a. differs materially from that indicated in soils and geotechnical reports furnished
by City, conducted by the DBE, or otherwise known to the DBE; or
b. is of an unusual nature and differs materially from conditions ordinarily
encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the work required by the
Contract Documents.
2. Upon receipt of written notice, City shall promptly investigate and if it determines the
conditions do materially differ, requiring a change in the Work, City shall commence
the processing of a change order pursuant to the Contract Documents. If City
determines there is no bona fide Work scope change or is a minor change, which does
not impact GMP or Contract Time, City shall notify DBE within ten (10) calendar
days.
3. DBE shall not be entitled to an adjustment in the GMP or Contract Time if DBE knew
or should have known of the existence of such conditions at the time DBE submitted
and agreed to the GMP or Contract Time; or the existence of such condition could
reasonably have been discovered as a result of DBE’s obligations pursuant to Article
6 of these General Conditions.
C. DBE Change Order Request.
1. DBE agrees that one of the purposes of the progressive design-build delivery method
is to minimize the risk for Change Orders and reduce the likelihood of Change Orders.
Change Order Requests shall be kept to a minimum.
2. DBE may request changes to the GMP and/or Guaranteed Completion Date for City-
directed changes in the Work or for Additional Work caused by the acts, errors, or
omissions of City, or caused by unforeseen conditions if, and only if, DBE follows the
procedures specified in this Article. Work that should or could have been included as
part of the Construction Documents or work resulting from ambiguities in the
Page 456 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
Attachment 4 – General Conditions 49
Construction Documents shall not be considered Additional Work and City will not
issue additional compensation or time for said work.
3. If DBE intends to initiate a Change Order Request, then DBE shall provide City with
written notice of the underlying facts and circumstances giving rise to the proposed
change. DBE shall submit the notice of change/delay prior to performance of the work
and no later than five (5) Days after City’s work directive or after DBE discovers the
circumstances causing the need for the Change Order. To be considered valid and
complete, the notice of change/delay shall include a general statement of the
circumstances giving rise to the notice of change/delay and a reasonable order of
magnitude estimate of the additional costs and/or time. If the circumstances give rise
to both a cost adjustment and time extension, DBE shall submit the notice of change
and notice of delay concurrently.
4. A Change Order Request will only be deemed timely submitted if it is submitted prior
to incurring any expense and within fourteen (14) Days from DBE’s notice of
change/delay.
5. A Change Order Request must state that it is a Change Order Request, state and justify
the reason for the request, and specify the amount of any requested adjustment to the
GMP and/or Guaranteed Completion Date, if any. The Change Order Request shall
include all of the following information (unless inapplicable to the change): A detailed
description of the circumstances giving rise to the request; A complete itemized fee
proposal, including itemized pricing for costs; Supporting documentation for all costs;
A time impact analysis showing the impact of the delay to the critical path to
completion; If any added costs or information cannot be determined at the time of the
Change Order Request, the reason the costs or information cannot be determined at the
time; and Certification to the accuracy of the Change Order Request under penalty of
perjury. The time impact analysis shall be in the critical path method format and shall
show the sequencing of all critical and non-critical new activities and/or activity
revisions affected by the delay, with logic ties to all affected existing activities noted
on the schedule. City may demand, and DBE shall provide, any additional information
supporting the Change Order Request, including but not limited to native electronic
format version of schedules and time impact analyses. DBE shall provide the requested
additional information within five (5) Days of the request.
6. If City denies the Change Order Request or disagrees with the proposal submitted by
DBE, it will notify DBE, and City will provide its opinion of the issue, error, or
inaccuracy in the proposal; or the appropriate change to the GMP and/or Contract
Time. If no agreement can be reached, City shall have the right to order the work by a
unilateral Change Order setting forth City’s determination of the reasonable additions
or savings in the GMP and/or Contract Time, if any. City’s determination shall become
final and binding if DBE fails to submit a Claim in writing to City within fourteen (14)
Days of the issuance of the unilateral Change Order, disputing the terms of the
unilateral Change Order and providing such supporting documentation for its position
as City may reasonably require.
D. Change Order Format
1. A Change Order signed by DBE indicates DBE's agreement therewith, including any
adjustment in compensation or extension of time, and the full and final settlement of
Page 457 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
Attachment 4 – General Conditions 50
all costs related to the Work authorized by the Change Order. Agency may designate
the forms to be used for notices, Change Order Requests, and Change Orders.
10.3 Determining Adjustments to Compensation.
A. Limitation on Costs. DBE shall not be entitled to any compensation for Work subject to a
Change Order except as expressly set forth in this Article. The mark-up added in instances
of Additional Work shall constitute the entire amount of profit, any mark-ups, any field or
home office overhead costs, including personnel, equipment or office space, any materials,
or any costs of equipment idle time for such Work.
B. Lump Sum Change Orders. Whenever possible, any changes affecting compensation shall
be in a lump sum mutually agreed by DBE and City.
C. Time and Materials Change Orders. City may direct DBE to proceed with the Additional
Work with payment to be made on the basis of actual cost of the labor and materials
required to complete the Additional Work.
D. Allowed Costs. Estimates for lump sum quotations and accounting for time-and-material
work shall be limited to direct expenditures necessitated specifically by the change and
shall be segregated as follows
1. Labor. The costs of labor will be the actual cost for wages prevailing locally for each
craft or type of worker at the time the Additional Work is done, plus employer
payments of payroll taxes and insurance, health and welfare, pension, vacation,
apprenticeship funds, and other direct costs resulting from federal, state or local laws,
as well as assessment or benefits required by lawful collective bargaining agreements.
The use of a labor classification which would increase the Additional Work cost will
not be permitted unless DBE establishes the necessity for such additional costs. Labor
costs for equipment operators and helpers shall be reported only when such costs are
not included in the invoice for equipment rental.
2. Materials. The cost of materials reported shall be at the lowest current price at which
such materials are locally available in the quantities involved, plus sales tax, freight
and delivery. Materials costs shall be based upon supplier or manufacturer’s invoice.
3. Tool and Equipment Use. Regardless of ownership, the rates to be used in determining
equipment use shall not exceed the most current listed rates provided by the California
Department of Transportation at the time the work is performed. In the event the rate
is not available, DBE shall furnish data supporting its proposed rate. City shall the
make the final determination as to an equitable rental rate for the equipment. No
payment will be made for the use of small tools, which have a replacement value of
$1,000 or less.
a. The rental time to be paid for equipment shall be the time the equipment is in
productive operation on the Additional Work being performed. Rental time will
not be allowed while equipment is inoperative due to breakdowns.
b. All equipment shall, in the opinion of City, be in good working condition and
suitable for the purpose for which the equipment is to be used. Equipment with no
Page 458 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
Attachment 4 – General Conditions 51
direct power unit shall be powered by a unit of at least the minimum rating
recommended by the manufacturer.
c. Before construction equipment is used on any Additional Work, DBE shall plainly
stencil or stamp an identifying number thereon at a conspicuous location, and shall
furnish to City, in duplicate, a description of the equipment and its identifying
number.
d. When hourly rates are listed, any part of an hour less than 30 minutes of operation
shall be considered to be 1/2-hour of operation, and any part of an hour greater
than 30 minutes will be considered one hour of operation. When daily rates are
listed, any part of a day less than 4 hours operation shall be considered to be 1/2-
day of operation.
4. Allowed Mark-up. The allowed mark-up for any and all overhead (including
supervision and home and field office costs) and profit on work added to the Contract
shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions:
a. “Net Cost” is defined as the actual costs of labor, materials and tools and equipment
only, excluding overhead and profit. The costs of applicable insurance and bond
premium shall be per section 5.5 Components of Guaranteed Maximum Price
Proposal. DBE shall provide City with documentation of the costs, including but
not limited to payroll records, invoices, and such other information as City may
reasonably request.
b. For Work performed by DBE’s forces the allowed mark-up shall not exceed fifteen
(15%) percent of labor costs, ten percent (10%) of material costs, and ten percent
(10%) of the cost of tools and equipment use.
c. For Work performed by a Subcontractor, the added cost for overhead and profit
shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Subcontractor’s Net Cost of the Work
to which DBE may add up to five percent (5%) of the Subcontractor’s Net Cost
(i.e., there is no mark-up allowed on a mark-up).
d. For Work performed by a sub-subcontractor, the added cost for overhead and profit
shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the sub-subcontractor’s Net Cost for Work
to which the Subcontractor and DBE may each add up to an additional five percent
(5%) of the Net Cost of the lower tier subcontractor (i.e., there is no mark-up
allowed on a mark-up).
e. No additional mark-up will be allowed for lower tier subcontractors, and in no case
shall the added cost for overhead and profit payable by City exceed twenty-five
percent (25%) of the Net Cost as defined herein, of the party that performs the Work.
5. Documentation of Time-and-Material Costs.
a. T&M Daily Sheets. DBE must submit timesheets, materials invoices, records of
equipment hours, and records of rental equipment hours to City’s Representative
for an approval signature each day that Work is performed on a time-and-material
basis. The City Representative’s signature on time sheets only serves as verification
Page 459 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
Attachment 4 – General Conditions 52
that the Work was performed and is not indicative of City’s agreement to DBE’s
entitlement to the cost.
b. T&M Summary Sheet. DBE shall submit a T&M Summary Sheet, which shall
include total actual costs, within five (5) Days following completion of Additional
Work on a time-and-material basis. DBE’s total actual cost shall be presented in a
summary table in an electronic spreadsheet file by labor, material, equipment, and
any other costs, along with documentation supporting the costs. DBE’s failure to
submit the T&M Summary Sheet within five (5) Days of completion of the
Additional Work will result in DBE’s waiver for any reimbursement of any costs
associated with the Additional Work.
c. Excluded Costs. The following costs or any other home or field office overhead
costs, all of which are to be considered administrative costs covered by DBE’s
mark-up, shall not be allowed costs and shall not be included in any lump sum
proposals or time-and-materials invoices:
d. Overhead Cost. Payroll costs and other compensation of DBE’s officers, executives,
principals, general managers, engineers, architects, estimators, attorneys, auditors,
accountants, purchasing and contracting agents, timekeepers, clerks, and other

branch office, material yard, or shop for general administration of the Work;
e. Office Expenses. Expenses of DBE’s principal and branch offices;
f. Capital Expenses. Any part of DBE’s capital expenses, including interest on DBE’s
capital employed for the Additional Work and charges against DBE for delinquent
payments;
g. Negligence. Costs due to the negligence of DBE or any Subcontractor or Supplier,
or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or for whose acts any of
them may be liable, including without limitation the correction of Defective Work,
disposal of materials or equipment wrongly supplied, and making good any damage
to property;
h. Small Tools. Cost of small tools valued at less than $1,000 and that remain the
property of DBE;
i. Administrative Costs. Costs associated with the preparation of Change Orders
(whether or not ultimately authorized), cost estimates, or the preparation or filing

City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
Attachment 4 – General Conditions 53
l. Special Consultants and Attorneys. Costs of special consultants or attorneys,
whether or not in the direct employ of DBE, employed for services specifically
related to the resolution of a Claim, dispute, or other matter arising out of or relating
to the performance of the Additional Work.
m. Other. Other overhead or general expense costs of any kind and the cost of any item
not specifically and expressly included in the Contract Documents; including but
not limited to: submittals, drawings, field drawings, shop drawings, including

internet access, plumbing, electrical power, lighting; platforms, fencing, water);
surveying; estimating; protection of work; handling and disposal fees; final cleanup;
other incidental work; related warranties; insurance and bond premiums.
10.4 DBE’s Wavier of Further Relief.
A. PROGRESSIVE DESIGN-BUILD ENTITY’S FAILURE TO PROVIDE A COMPLETE
AND TIMELY NOTICE OF A CHANGE ORDER REQUEST OR TO COMPLY WITH
ANY OTHER REQUIREMENT OF THIS ARTICLE, SHALL CONSTITUTE A
WAIVER BY DESIGN-BUILD ENTITY OF THE RIGHT TO AN ADJUSTMENT OF
THE CONTRACT PRICE AND/OR PROJECT COMPLETION DATE ON ACCOUNT
OF SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES AND A WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT TO FURTHER
RECOURSE OR RECOVERY BY REASON OF OR RELATED TO SUCH CHANGE
BY MEANS OF THE CLAIMS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS OR BY ANY
OTHER LEGAL PROCESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE
LAWS.
B. DBE recognizes and acknowledges that timely submission of a formal written notice of
change/delay and Change Order Request, whether or not the circumstances of the change may
be known to City or available to City through other means, is not a mere formality but is of
crucial importance to the ability of City to promptly identify, prioritize, evaluate and mitigate
the potential effects of changes. Any form of informal notice, whether verbal or written
(including, without limitation, statements in requests for information, statements in Submittals,
statements at any job meeting or entries on monthly reports, daily logs or job meeting minutes),
that does not strictly comply with the formal requirements of this Article, shall accordingly be
insufficient.
ARTICLE 11 -TIME FOR COMPLETION; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
11.1 Progress and Completion.
A. DBE shall proceed expeditiously with adequate forces and shall achieve full completion of the
Work by the Guaranteed Completion Date. If City’s Representative determines and notifies
DBE that DBE’s progress is such that DBE will not achieve full completion of the Work by
the Guaranteed Completion Date, DBE shall immediately and at no additional cost to City, take
all measures necessary, including working such overtime, additional shifts, Sundays, or
holidays as may be required to ensure that the entire Project is completed within the Guaranteed
Completion Date. Upon receipt of such notice from City’s representative, DBE shall
immediately notify City’s Representative of all measures to be taken to ensure full completion
Page 461 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
Attachment 4 – General Conditions 54
of the Work within the Guaranteed Completion Date. DBE shall reimburse City for any extra
costs or expenses (including the reasonable value of any services provided by City’s
employees) incurred by City as the result of such measures.
11.2 Time for Completion.
A. The time for completion set forth in Contract shall commence: (1) on the date stated in the
Notice to Proceed with Construction, or (2) if the Notice to Proceed does not specify a
commencement date, then on the date of the Notice to Proceed and shall be completed by DBE
in the time specified in the Contract Documents. City is under no obligation to consider early
completion of the Project; and the Guaranteed Completion Date shall not be amended by City’s
receipt or acceptance of DBE’s proposed earlier completion date. Any difference in time
between DBE’s early completion and the Guaranteed Completion Date shall be considered a
part of the Project float. DBE shall not be entitled to compensation, and City will not
compensate DBE, for delays which impact early completion. DBE shall not, under any
circumstances, receive additional compensation from City (including but not limited to
indirect, general, administrative or other forms of overhead costs) for the period between the
time of earlier completion proposed by DBE and the Guaranteed Completion Date.
11.3 Liquidated Damages.
A. If the Work is not completed as stated in the Contract Documents, it is understood that City
will suffer damage. In accordance with Government Code section 53069.85, being impractical
and infeasible to determine the amount of actual damage, it is agreed that DBE shall pay to
City as fixed and liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, the sum stipulated in the Contract
for each calendar day of delay until the Work is fully completed. DBE and its surety shall be
liable for any liquidated damages. Any money due or to become due DBE may be retained to
cover liquidated damages.
11.4 Inclement Weather.
A. When DBE believes inclement weather has delayed the Work, DBE may request a
commensurate time extension and provide backup information as necessary. The City Shall
make a determination of what constitutes inclement weather and if a time extension is
warranted. DBE shall abide by City’s determination. Time extensions for inclement weather
shall only be granted when the Work stopped during inclement weather is on the critical path
of the Project schedule. DBE shall not be entitled to additional compensation for time
extensions resulting from inclement weather.
11.5 Extension of Time.
A. DBE’s entitlement to an extension of the Contract Time is limited to a City-caused extension
of the critical path, reduced by DBE’s concurrent delays, and established by a proper time
impact analysis and approved inclement weather delays. City shall ascertain the facts and
extent of delay and grant extension of time for completing the Work when, in its judgment, the
facts justify such an extension. DBE shall not be entitled to an adjustment in the Contract
Times for delays within the control of DBE. Delays attributable to and within the control of a
Subcontractor or Supplier shall be deemed to be delays within the control of DBE.
Page 462 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
Attachment 4 – General Conditions 55
11.6 Force Majeure.
A. If a delay to the critical path results from a Force Majeure Event, DBE will be entitled to a time
extension but will not receive an adjustment to the GMP or any other compensation. Such a
non-compensable adjustment shall be DBE’s sole and exclusive remedy for such delays.
11.7 No Damages for Reasonable Delay.
A. City’s liability to DBE for delays for which City is responsible shall be limited to only an
extension of time unless such delays were unreasonable under the circumstances. A delay is
only considered unreasonable if the delay is to the critical path to completion, if it will result
in DBE not being able to complete the Work prior to the Guaranteed Completion Date, if it is
not concurrent with any other delay, and if it results from one of the following: (i) an unforeseen
condition that DBE could not have been aware of or anticipated prior to construction, (ii) a
City-ordered work directive that adds additional work that was not previously contemplated,
(iii) a failure by the City to comply with the Contract Documents if DBE demanded a cure prior
to the delay to the critical path, or (iv) a suspension or other stoppage of work by the City that
is not due to an act or omission of DBE, a force majeure event, or an action of government
agency or other third party that requires a stoppage of work. In no case shall City be liable for
any costs which are borne by DBE in the regular course of business, including, but not limited
to, home office overhead and other ongoing costs. Damages caused by unreasonable City delay
shall be per the “Damages for Compensable Delay” section of the Contract.
11.8 Procedure for Time Extensions and Delay Damages.
A. DBE shall not be entitled to any extension of time or any Damages for Compensable Delay per
the Contract unless DBE properly notices the delay and adjustment to compensation and
requests a Change Order in accordance with the Contract Documents. DBE’s failure to timely
and fully comply with the Change Order procedures in the Contract Documents shall constitute
a waiver of DBE’s right to a time extension or Damages for Compensable Delay.
ARTICLE 12 -TEST AND INSPECTIONS; CORRECTION, REMOVAL, OR ACCEPTANCE OF
DEFECTIVE WORK; NOTICE OF DEFECTS
12.1 Access to Work.
A. City, City’s Representative, their consultants and other representatives and personnel,
independent testing laboratories, and governmental agencies with jurisdictional interests will
have access to the Project site and the Work at reasonable times for their observation,
inspection, and testing. DBE shall provide them proper and safe conditions for such access and
advise them of DBE’s safety procedures and programs.
12.2 Tests and Inspections.
A. DBE shall be responsible for procuring, scheduling and managing qualified third party firms
for all materials testing, geotechnical investigations and testing and special inspections. DB
obtain approval of all materials testing, geotechnical, and special inspection firms and
personnel as required by the AHJ prior to start of construction. DBE shall notify City in advance
of hiring any such third party firms, and City shall have final approval of all third party
materials testing, geotechnical, and special inspection firms.
Page 463 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
Attachment 4 – General Conditions 56
B. DBE shall coordinate all required inspections, tests, or approvals with AHJ to ensure
compliance with all requirements.
C. DBE shall schedule and coordinate all inspections required by AHJ in accordance with normal
AHJ policies and procedures. DBE shall have no expectation of special treatment or priority
with respect to AHJ inspections or requirements.
D. If Applicable Laws of any public body having jurisdiction require any Work (or part thereof)
specifically to be inspected, tested, or approved by an employee or other representative of such
public body, DBE shall assume full responsibility for arranging and obtaining such inspections,
tests, or approvals, pay all costs in connection therewith, and furnish City’s Representative the
required certificates of inspection or approval.

Work. Such inspections, tests, or approvals shall be performed by organizations acceptable to
City.
F. In addition to AHJ required inspections, the City reserves the right to inspect and reject and/or
require corrective work to any and all parts of the Work not in accordance with the Contract
Documents, applicable industry standards or expected quality standards.
12.3 Uncovering Work.
A. If any Work (or the work of others) that is to be inspected, tested, or approved is covered by
DBE without authorization by AHJ or written concurrence of City’s Representative, DBE shall,
if requested by AHJ or City’s Representative, uncover such Work for observation.
B. If DBE has covered work and AHJ or City’s Representative later considers it necessary or
advisable that covered Work be observed by AHJ or City’s Representative or inspected or
tested by others, DBE, at AHJ or City’s Representative’s request, shall uncover, expose, or
otherwise make available for observation, inspection, or testing as AHJ or City’s
Representative may require, that portion of the Work in question, furnishing all necessary labor,
material, and equipment.
12.4 Agency May Stop The Work.
A. If the Work is defective, City may in its sole discretion order DBE to stop the Work, or any
portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated. All delays associated with
the stop Work order will be the responsibility of DBE.
12.5 Correction of Defective Work.
A. Promptly after receipt of written notice, DBE shall (1) correct Defective Work that becomes
apparent during the progress of the Work on the Project and (2) replace, repair, or restore to
City’s satisfaction any other parts of the Work on the Project and any other real or personal

(14) Days after receipt of such notice; and DBE shall diligently and continuously prosecute
such correction to completion. DBE shall bear all costs of such correction, replacement, repair,
or restoration, and all losses resulting from such Defective Work, including additional testing,
inspection, and compensation for City’s Representative’s services and expenses. DBE shall
perform corrective Work on the Project at such times that are acceptable to City and in such a

Defective Work, DBE shall take no action that would void or otherwise impair City’s special
warranty and guarantee, if any, on said Work.
B. If immediate correction of Defective Work is required for life safety or the protection of
property and is performed by City or Separate Contractors, DBE shall pay to City all reasonable
costs of correcting such Defective Work. DBE shall replace, repair, or restore to City’s
satisfaction any other parts of the Construction Work and any other real or personal property
which is damaged or destroyed as a result of such Defective Work or the correction of such

nor accepted by Agency.
D. Enforcement of DBE’s express warranties and guarantees to repair contained in the Contract
Documents shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights or remedies City
may have under the Contract Documents or at law or in equity for Defective Work. Nothing
contained in this Article shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with respect to
other obligations of DBE under the Contract Documents.
12.6 Acceptance of Defective Work.
A. If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of Defective Work, City prefers
to accept it, City may do so. DBE shall pay all claims, costs, losses, and damages (including
but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals
and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) attributable to City’s evaluation of
and determination to accept such Defective Work and for the diminished value of the Work.
B. If any acceptance of Defective Work occurs prior to release of the Project retention, a Change
Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with
respect to the Work, and City shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the GMP, reflecting
the diminished value of Work and all costs incurred by Agency.
C. If the acceptance of defective Work occurs after release of the Project retention, an appropriate
amount will be paid by DBE to City.
12.7 City May Correct Defective Work.
A. If DBE fails within a reasonable time after written notice from City’s Representative to correct
Defective Work, or to remove and replace rejected Work as required by City, or if DBE fails
to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, or if DBE fails to comply
with any other provision of the Contract Documents, City may, after seven (7) Days written
notice to DBE, correct, or remedy any such deficiency.

City has paid DBE but which are stored elsewhere. DBE shall allow City and City’s
Representative, and the agents, employees, other contractors, and consultants of each of them,
access to the Site to enable City to exercise the rights and remedies to correct the defective
work.
C. All claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of
engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other
dispute resolution costs) incurred or sustained by City correcting the defective work will be
charged against DBE, and a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions
in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work; and City shall be entitled to an appropriate
decrease in the GMP. Such claims, costs, losses and damages will include but not be limited
to all costs of repair, or replacement of work of others destroyed or damaged by correction,
removal, or replacement of Defective Work.
D. If the Change Order is executed after release of the Project Retention, an appropriate amount
will be paid by DBE to Agency.
E. DBE shall not be allowed an extension of the Guaranteed Completion Date because of any

account of the Contract. Such examinations, audits and verifications, if required by City, will

represented that:

performed have been exhaustive, extended to every aspect of the Work in progress, or
involved detailed inspections of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically
assigned to City’s Representative in the Contract Documents; or
2. there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle DBE to
be paid additionally by City or entitle City to withhold payment to DBE.
D. City’s Representative may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment due to
subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or tests. City retains
the right to revise or revoke any such payment recommendation previously made, to such extent

A. DBE may request all or portions of the work be considered substantially complete. If the City
agrees, the DBE’s A/E may issue a signed certificate of Substantial Completion whereby the

Representative’s observation of the Work during construction and final inspection, and
City’s Representative’s review of the final Application for Payment and accompanying
documentation as required by the Contract Documents, City’s Representative is satisfied
that the Work has been completed and DBE has satisfied all other requirements for final
payment, City’s Representative will indicate in writing City’s Representative’s
recommendation of payment and present the Application for Payment to City for payment.
Otherwise, City’s Representative will return the Application for Payment to DBE,
indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to recommend final payment, in which case
DBE shall make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application for Payment.

expressly acknowledged by City in writing as still unsettled.
ARTICLE 14 -SUSPENSION OF WORK AND COMPLETION
14.1 City May Suspend Work.
A. Agency may, at its sole option, decide to suspend at any time the performance of all or any
portion of the Work by notice in writing to DBE. Such notice of suspension of Work will
designate the amount and type of plant, labor, and equipment to be committed to the Project
during the period of suspension. DBE shall use its best efforts to utilize its plant, labor, and
equipment in such a manner as to minimize costs associated with suspension.
B. Upon receipt of any such notice, DBE shall, unless the notice requires otherwise:
1. Immediately discontinue Work on the date and to the extent specified in the notice;

City’s Representative of all orders, subcontracts, and rental agreements to the extent
they relate to performance of Work suspended; and
4. Continue to protect and maintain the Work including those portions on which Work
has been suspended.
C. Unless suspension is a result of DBE’s acts or omissions or a Force Majeure Event, then as full
and complete compensation for such suspension, DBE shall be granted an adjustment in the
GMP based on a negotiated daily rate that reflects DBE’s actual costs associated with the
demobilized condition of the Site and an extension of the Guaranteed Completion Date equal
to the number of days performance of Work is suspended; provided, however, that no
adjustment of GMP or extension of the Guaranteed Completion Date shall be granted if the
suspension results from DBE's non-compliance with the requirements of the Contract. City
shall not be liable for any additional costs, damages or anticipated profits incurred by
Contractor or its Subcontractors
14.2 City May Terminate for Cause.
A. In the sole estimation of City, City may, without prejudice to any other right or remedy, serve

C. After expiration of the ten (10) Day period, City may terminate this Contract. In such case,
DBE shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the Work has been finished. City
may take over and complete the Work by any method it may deem appropriate, including

any excess costs or other damages incurred by City to complete the Work. If City takes over
the Work, City may, without liability for so doing, take possession of and utilize in completing
the Work such materials, appliances, plant, and other property belonging to DBE as may be on
the Site.
14.3 City May Terminate for Convenience.
A. In addition to its right to terminate this Contract for default, City may terminate the Contract,
in whole or in part, at any time upon seven (7) Days written notice to DBE. The Notice of
Termination shall specify that the termination is for the convenience of City, the extent of
termination, and the effective date of such termination (“Effective Date of Termination”).
B. After receipt of Notice of Termination, and except as directed by City, DBE shall, regardless
of any delay in determining or adjusting any amounts due under this Termination for
Convenience clause, immediately proceed with the following obligations:
1. Stop Work as specified in the Notice.

portions of the Work terminated.
5. Place no further subcontracts or orders, except as necessary to complete the remaining
portion of the Work.

documentation called for by the Contract Documents to substantiate all costs incurred
by DBE for labor, materials and equipment through the Notice of Termination. Any
documentation substantiating costs incurred by DBE solely as a result of City’s
exercise of its right to terminate this Contract pursuant to this clause, which costs DBE
is authorized under the Contract Documents to incur, shall: (i) be submitted to and
received by City no later than thirty (30) Days after the Effective Date of the Notice of
Termination; (ii) describe the costs incurred with particularity; and (iii) be

City of Chula Vista - City Council

Attachment 4 – General Conditions 64
C. City’s total liability to DBE by reason of the termination shall be limited to the total
(without duplication of any items) of:
1. The reasonable cost to DBE for all Work performed prior to the Effective Date of
Termination, including the Work done to secure the Project for termination.
Reasonable cost may not exceed the applicable percentage completion values derived
from the progress schedule and the schedule of values. Deductions shall be made for
cost of materials to be retained by DBE, cost of Work defectively performed, amounts
realized by sale of materials, and for other appropriate credits or offsets against cost of
Work as allowed by the Contract Documents.
2. When, in City’s opinion, the cost of any item of Work is excessively high due to costs
incurred to remedy or replace defective or rejected Work, reasonable cost to be allowed
will be the estimated reasonable cost of performing the Work in compliance with
requirements of the Contract Documents and excessive actual cost shall be disallowed.
3. Any Work required by the Termination for Convenience that is not included in
Contract Documents will be negotiated pursuant to the Contract Change Order
provisions.
4. Reasonable costs to DBE of handling material returned to vendors, delivered to City
or otherwise disposed of as directed by Agency.
5. A reasonable allowance for DBE’s internal administrative costs in preparing
termination claim.
6. Reasonable demobilization costs, and reasonable payments made to Subcontractors or
suppliers on account of termination.
D. In no event shall City be liable for unreasonable costs incurred by DBE or Subcontractors
after receipt of a Notice of Termination. Such non-recoverable costs include, but are not
limited to, the cost of or anticipated profits on Work not performed as of the date of
termination, post-termination employee salaries, unreasonable post-termination
administrative expenses, post-termination overhead or unabsorbed overhead, surety costs
of any type, costs of preparing and submitting DBE’s termination claim, attorney fees of
any type, and all other costs relating to prosecution of a claim or lawsuit.
E. City shall have no obligation to pay DBE under this Article unless and until DBE provides
City with updated and acceptable as-builts and Record Documents for Work completed
prior to termination as required by the Contract Documents.
F. In arriving at the amount due DBE under this clause there shall be deducted in whole, or
in the appropriate part(s) if the termination is partial:

including without limitation all payments which are applicable to the terminated
portion of the Contract Documents,
2. Any claim City may have against DBE in connection with the Work or any amounts

kept by DBE and not otherwise recovered by or credited to Agency.
G. DBE shall not be paid on account of loss of anticipated profits or revenue or other economic
loss or consequential damages arising out of or resulting from such termination.
H. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, when immediate action is necessary
to protect life and safety or to reduce significant exposure or liability, City may
immediately order DBE to cease Work until such safety or liability issues are addressed to
the satisfaction of City or the Contract is terminated.
I. If City terminates DBE for cause, and if it is later determined that the termination was
wrongful, such default termination shall automatically be converted to and treated as a
termination for convenience. In such event, DBE shall be entitled to receive only the
amounts payable under this section, and DBE specifically waives any claim for any other
amounts or damages, including, but not limited to, any claim for consequential damages or
lost profits.
ARTICLE 15 -CLAIMS, DISPUTE AVOIDANCE AND RESOLUTION

governed by this Article. The failure to timely submit a notice of delay or notice of change, or
to timely submit a Chang Order Request, or to timely provide any other notice or request
required herein shall constitute a waiver of the right to further pursue the Claim under the
Contract or at law.
B. Claims. For purposes of this Article, "Claim" means a separate demand by DBE for (1) a time
extension, including without limitation relief from damages or penalties for delay assessed by
City, (2) payment of money or damages arising from Work done by or on behalf of DBE and

for payment for which DBE has failed to provide notice, submit a Change Order Request, or
otherwise failed to follow any procedures contained in the Contract Documents.
C. Filing Claims. Claims governed by this Article may not be filed unless and until DBE
completes any and all requirements of the Contract Documents pertaining to notices and
requests for changes to the GMP and/or the Guaranteed Completion Date, and DBE’s request
for a change has been denied in whole or in part. Claims governed by this Article must be filed
no later than thirty (30) Days after a request for change has been denied in whole or in part or,
if not subject to a Change Order Request, then after any other event giving rise to the Claim.
The Claim shall be submitted in writing to City and shall include on its first page the following
words in 16 point capital font: “THIS IS A CLAIM.” The Claim shall include the all
information and documents necessary to substantiate the Claim, including but not limited to
those identified below. Nothing in this Article is intended to extend the time limit or supersede
notice requirements otherwise provided by Contract Documents. Failure to follow such

reasonable review of the Claim and, within a period not to exceed 45 days of receipt of the
Claim, or as extended by mutual agreement, shall provide a written statement identifying what
portion of the Claim is disputed and what portion is undisputed. Any payment due on an
undisputed portion of the Claim will be processed and made within 60 days after City issues
its written response.
1. City may request, in writing, within 30 days of receipt of the Claim, any additional
documentation supporting the Claim or relating to defenses or claims City may have.
If additional information is needed thereafter, DBE shall provide the additional
information within 30 days. Failure to provide additional information shall constitute
an abandonment of the Claim. City shall respond within 30 days.
F. Meet and Confer Conference. If DBE disputes City’s response, or if City fails to respond
within the time period, DBE may so notify City, in writing, within 15 days of the receipt of the
response or the failure to respond, and demand an informal conference to meet and confer for
settlement of those portions of the Claim that remain in dispute. Upon such demand, City shall
schedule a meet and confer conference within 30 days.
G. Mediation. Within 10 business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer
conference, any disputed portion of the Claim, as identified by DBE in writing, shall be
submitted to nonbinding mediation, with City and DBE sharing the associated costs equally.

Page 474 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
Attachment 4 – General Conditions 67
portion of the Claim has been identified in writing, unless the parties agree to select a mediator
at a later time.
1. For purposes of this Article, mediation includes any nonbinding process, including, but
not limited to, neutral evaluation or a dispute review board, in which an independent
third party or board assists the parties in dispute resolution through negotiation or by
issuance of an evaluation. Any mediation utilized shall conform to the timeframes in
this Article.
2. Unless otherwise agreed to by City and DBE in writing, the mediation conducted
pursuant to this section shall excuse any further obligation under any law or statute to
mediate after litigation has been commenced.
3. The mediation shall be held no earlier than the date DBE completes the Work or the
date that DBE last performs Work, whichever is earlier. All unresolved Claims shall
be considered jointly in a single mediation, unless a new unrelated Claim duly arises
after mediation is completed.
H. Procedures After Mediation. If following the mediation, the Claim or any portion remains in
dispute, DBE must comply with Chapter 1.34 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code prior to
initiating litigation. For purposes of the Municipal Code procedure, the running of the period
of time within which a Municipal Code claim must be filed shall be tolled from the time DBE
submits its written Claim until the meet and confer conference is completed (or until the time
to commence the meet and confer has lapsed).
I. Non-Waiver. City’s failure to respond to a Claim from DBE within the time periods described
in this Article or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this Article shall result in the Claim
being deemed rejected in its entirety, and shall not constitute a waiver of any rights under this

Agreement: Approve a Third Amendment to the Agreement with Liebert Cassidy Whitmore to Provide Legal
Services
Report Number: 26-0037
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: City Attorney
G.C. § 84308 Regulations Apply: Yes
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section
15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution approving an amendment to the Legal Services Agreement (LSA) with Liebert Cassidy
Whitmore to increase the not-to-exceed amount from $50,000 to $100,000 and to extend the LSA to January 16,
2027.
SUMMARY
The City Attorney’s Office provides legal review, advice, consultation, and representation on a wide variety
of legal issues and litigation related to City operations. This third amendment will allow the City to continue
to use the law firm Liebert Cassidy Whitmore for certain legal services.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with CEQA and has
determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines
because it will not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3)
of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.

DISCUSSION
The City Attorney’s Office provides a wide variety of legal services to the City, including legal review, advice,
consultation, and representation on diverse matters impacting the City, including its officials, management,
and departments.
The City Attorney’s Office has utilized private law firms to assist in managing the City’s legal needs. Liebert
Cassidy Whitmore has provided legal services on behalf of the City pursuant to a Legal Services Agreement
(“LSA”) effective January 17, 2023, as amended by the First Amendment to the LSA on July 1, 2024 and the
Second Amendment on January 17, 2025.
This proposed Third Amendment to the LSA with Liebert Cassidy Whitmore will increase the not-to-exceed
amount on the LSA from $50,000 to $100,000 and extend the LSA to January 16, 2027. The costs of this Third
Amendment were included within the current year budget and no additional appropriation is necessary.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and
consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real
property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact as a result of this action. Funding is available based on fiscal year 2025-26
appropriations.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Any increases to this agreement will be considered as part of the annual budget development process in
future years.

ITEM TITLE
Annual Report: Fiscal Year 2024-25 Development Impact Fees, the Parkland Acquisition and Development
In-Lieu Fees, Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fee, and Parking In-Lieu Fee
Report Number: 25-0291
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: Development Services
G.C. § 84308 Regulations Apply: No
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) State Guidelines. Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section
15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
Recommended Action
Receive the annual report regarding Development Impact Fees, the Parkland Acquisition and Development
In-Lieu Fees, Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fee, and Parking In-Lieu Fee for fiscal year 2024-25.
SUMMARY
California Government Code Section 66000, et seq. requires local agencies assessing Development Impact
Fees (“DIFs”) and sewer capacity charges to make available specified financial data to the public each fiscal
year. This report satisfies that requirement and has been available in the City Clerk’s Office for public review
since December 1, 2025. An equivalent report for the Parkland Acquisition and Development (“PAD”) fees
and Parking In-Lieu Fees is included in this report for ease of reference and convenience to the public.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(“CEQA”) and has been determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the
State CEQA Guidelines because the activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activity which
does not result in a physical change in the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the
State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not Applicable
DISCUSSION
The City of Chula Vista (“City”) collects several types of Development Impact Fees, Parkland Acquisition and
Development Fees, Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fees, and a Parking In-Lieu Fee which were assessed during
the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. The major categories of facilities financed via DIFs include
transportation, traffic signals, pedestrian bridges, drainage, sewer, and public facilities.
Development Impact Fees are updated in two manners: 1) Through a comprehensive DIF program review;
or 2) a Council-enacted automatic annual adjustment, based upon an appropriate index.
There were no comprehensive DIF updates completed in fiscal year 2024-25 (“FY 2024-25”).
In October of 2024, the following automatic index-based annual adjustments went into effect:

DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES
Eastern Transportation Development Impact Fee (“ETDIF”)
The ETDIF was established on January 12, 1988, via Ordinance No. 2251 to finance and coordinate the
construction of new transportation facilities so that new streets are built when needed to serve new
development. This fee is applicable to all new developments east of Interstate 805. Prior to the program,
streets were built by developers in a fragmented fashion. In addition, equity issues arose, as some developers
with frontages on large streets were required to improve those streets while other developers with only
smaller local street frontages had less improvement requirements. Now, all developers in the eastern portion
of Chula Vista pay the same fee per average daily trip (“ADT”) based on the number of vehicle trips generated
for a specific land use. The City then constructs the street, or a developer performs the construction. If the
developer constructs the street, they receive a ETDIF fee credit which is then applied towards payment of
these fees at time of final inspection.
The ETDIF is subject to an annual index-based adjustment. On October 1, 2024, the fee increased from
$1,764.70 to $1,810.80 per ADT. The rate per single-family dwelling unit increased from $17,647 to $18,108.
Detailed FY 2024-25 financial information is presented in Attachment 1, Schedule A of this report.
Western Transportation Development Impact Fee (“WTDIF”)
The WTDIF was adopted on March 18, 2008, via Ordinances No. 3106 through No. 3110 to finance and
coordinate the construction of new transportation facilities in the western neighborhoods of the City, as well
as to spread the costs associated with the construction of the facilities equitably among the developing
properties within the benefit area.
The WTDIF is subject to an annual index-based adjustment. On October 1, 2024, the fee increased from
$532.20 to $550.83 per ADT. The rate per single-family dwelling unit increased from $5,322 to $5,508.
Detailed FY 2024-25 financial information is presented in Attachment 1, Schedule B of this report.
Bayfront Transportation Development Impact Fee (“BFDIF”)
The BFDIF was adopted on November 18, 2014, via Ordinance No. 3327 to finance and coordinate the
construction of new transportation facilities in the Chula Vista Bayfront area, as well as to spread the costs
associated with the construction of the facilities equitably among the developing properties within the
benefit area. This fee is applicable to new developments in the Chula Vista Bayfront area, generally described
as properties west of Interstate 5 and between E Street and Naples Street.
The BFDIF is subject to an annual index-based adjustment. On October 1, 2024, the fee increased from
$1,286.42 to $1,331.44 per ADT. The rate per single-family dwelling unit increased from $12,864 to $13,314.
Detailed FY 2024-25 financial information is presented in Attachment 1, Schedule C of this report.
Traffic Signal Fee
The Traffic Signal fee was adopted to finance and facilitate construction of traffic signal improvements
required to mitigate increases in traffic volume caused by new development in the WTDIF benefit area. This

fee is assessed per average daily trip generated. The Traffic Signal fee is subject to an annual index-based
adjustment. On October 1, 2024, the fee increased from $48.22 to $48.69 per ADT. Detailed FY 2024-25
financial information is presented in Attachment 1, Schedule D of this report.
Poggi Canyon Sewer Basin Development Impact Fee
The Poggi Canyon Sewer Basin DIF was adopted to finance and facilitate construction of the Poggi Canyon
Trunk Sewer, serving properties within the benefit area. This fee is applicable to the Poggi Canyon Basin. The
fee was established at $400 per Equivalent Dwelling Unit (“EDU”) in 1997. In June 2009, the Poggi Canyon
Sewer Basin DIF was updated, and the fee was reduced to $265 per EDU. The City is in the process of
preparing a comprehensive update of the Poggi DIF. The fee remains unchanged since the 2009 action.
Detailed FY 2024-25 financial information are presented in Attachment 1, Schedule E of this report.
Salt Creek Sewer Basin Development Impact Fee
The Salt Creek Sewer Basin DIF was adopted to finance and facilitate construction of the Salt Creek Trunk
Sewer, serving properties within the benefit area. This fee is applicable to the Salt Creek Sewer Basin, a
portion of the Upper Otay Lake Basin north of the Salt Creek Sewer Basin, Wolf Canyon Basin, and a portion
of the Lower Otay Lake Basin east of the Salt Creek Sewer Basin.

who constructed the bridge. The EUC Pedestrian Bridge DIF was established with an initial rate of $615.13
per single-family dwelling unit via Ordinance No. 3273, adopted in August of 2013. Detailed FY 2024-25
financial information is presented in Attachment 1, Schedule F of this report.
Public Facilities Development Impact Fee (“PFDIF”)
The PFDIF was adopted to finance and facilitate construction of public facilities necessary to serve new
development. The fee includes six (6) components. All components are subject to an annual index-based
adjustment. On October 1, 2024, the combined fee increased from $14,286 to $14,680 per single-family
dwelling unit. Detailed FY 2024-25 financial information is presented in Attachment 1, Schedule G of this
report.
The components of the PFDIF, including current fees per single family dwelling are as follows:
Administration ($860) - Administration of the PFDIF program, oversight of expenditures and
revenues, preparation of updates, calculation of costs, etc.
Civic Center Expansion ($4,284) - Expansion of the Civic Center per the 1989 Civic Center Master
Plan to provide sufficient building space and parking needed to serve new development. The Civic
Center Master Plan was updated in July 2001 to include impacts of Otay Ranch development. Project
phases included the remodel and expansion of City Hall, remodel of the Public Services Building and
remodel of the former Police Facility, Community Development and Legislative Buildings, including
associated capital expenses.
Police Facility ($2,395) - Improvements per the Civic Center Master Plan to provide sufficient
building space and associated facilities needed to serve new development. Improvements include
construction of a new police facility, upgrading the communications center and installation of new
communication consoles. This fee also includes the purchase and installation of a computer-aided
dispatch system (“CAD”), Police Records Management System, Mobile Data Terminals, and police
vehicles.
Corporation Yard Relocation ($643) - Relocation of the City’s Public Works Center from the Bayfront
area to the more centrally located site on Maxwell Road. Also includes the purchase of new vehicles
directly attributable to new development and the need to maintain an expanding infrastructure
network.
Libraries ($2,463) - Improvements include construction of the South Chula Vista Library and future
planned libraries and installation of an automated library system. This component is based on the
facility needs identified in the Library Master Plan and is applicable to new residential development
only.

City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
P a g e | 6
Major Recreation Facilities ($1,870) - Component added in November 2002 to build major recreation
facilities required to serve new development such as community centers, gymnasiums, swimming
pools, and senior/teen centers. This component is based on the facility needs identified in the Park
& Recreation Master Plan and is applicable to new residential development only.
Although the majority of the public facility project costs are borne by new development, it is important to
note that some public facility projects contain both a City and new development cost share. The City share
often reflects “joint impetus” projects, which are necessitated by growth and non-growth factors and/or the
City’s obligation to correct pre-existing space/equipment deficiencies. The PFDIF fees only relate to new
development’s cost share for each component.
Parkland Acquisition and Development (“PAD”) In-Lieu Fees
The Parkland Acquisition and Development in-lieu fees were adopted by the City to acquire neighborhood
and community parkland and to construct parks, including recreational amenities. The acquisition
component of the fee is set at $12,676 for areas east of Interstate 805 and $4,994 for areas west of Interstate
805, per single-family dwelling unit.
The development component of the fee is applicable citywide and is subject to an annual index-based
adjustment. On October 1, 2024, the development component increased from $9,533 to $9,626 per single-
family dwelling unit. This action increased the combined fee from $22,209 to $22,302 and from $14,527 to
$14,620; for areas east and west of I-805, respectively.
The PAD fee is applicable to new residential development only. In fiscal year 2013-14, the fee requirement
for hotel and motel developments was eliminated via Ordinance No. 2014-3303. Detailed FY 2024-25
financial information is presented in Attachment 2 of this report.
Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fees (Sewer Capacity)
The Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve fee was established in 1985 by Ordinance No. 2107 to finance all or a
portion of the cost to enlarge sewer facilities to enhance efficiency of utilization and/or adequacy of sewer
capacity. The fee program was last comprehensively updated in 2014, decreasing the fee per EDU from
$3,478 to $3,450. The 2014 action also authorized annual index-based updates. An index-based update was
implemented on October 1, 2024, increasing the fee from $4,671 to $4,793 per EDU. Detailed FY 2024-25
financial information is presented in Attachment 3 of this report.
Parking In-Lieu Fee
Established in 1980, the City’s Parking In-Lieu Fee program allows for development projects within the City’s
Downtown Parking District to accommodate a portion of their minimum parking requirements off-site. The
method for calculating the Parking In Lieu Fee is provided in Resolution No. 1980-9943, and the calculation
is based in part on the fair market value of the land needed to accommodate each parking space. Fees
collected under this program are for the construction future parking facilities. Detailed FY 2024-25 financial
information is presented in Attachment 4 of this report.

DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and
consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real
property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).

ITEM TITLE
Grant Application: Authorize the Submittal of a Grant Application for the 2025-2026 Whale Tail Grants
Program
Report Number: 23-0334
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: Parks and Recreation
G.C. § 84308 Regulations Apply: No
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California
Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines. Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no
environmental review is required.
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution authorizing (1) staff to submit a grant application for the 2025-2026 Whale Tail Grants
Program; and (2) the City Manager to execute related grant documents.
SUMMARY
The California Coastal Commission’s Whale Tail Grants Program funds projects that connect people to the
California coast and its watersheds through education, stewardship, and outdoor experiences. As part of the
application process, the California Coastal Commission requires applicants to receive authorization to submit
a grant application and to authorize the City Manager to execute all related grant documents. Staff are
requesting City Council’s authorization for both actions.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(“CEQA”) and it has been determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of
the state CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change in the environment. Therefore,
pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable
DISCUSSION
The California Coastal Commission’s Whale Tail Grants Program was established in 1998 to support projects
that connect the public with California’s coast through education, stewardship, and outdoor experiences,
with an emphasis on engaging communities that face barriers to accessing coastal and marine education.
With this authorization, the Department of Parks and Recreation proposes a project that combines education
and art to increase community interest in and understanding of Chula Vista’s ecosystem and coastal
environment. The project would provide Chula Vista families and youth with educational and creative
opportunities through workshops, art sessions, and the installation of bilingual educational signage. This
project is estimated to be $28,799, which is anticipated to be fully offset by the grant if awarded.
Staff are requesting City Council authorization to submit the grant application and to authorize the City
Manager to execute all related grant documents. If the grant is awarded, the Department will return to City
Council with a future action to accept and appropriate the grant funds.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff have reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and have found no property holdings
within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Consequently, this
item does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under California Code
of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(7) or (8), for purposes of the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code
§87100, et seq.).
Staff are not independently aware and have not been informed by any City Council member of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
This resolution authorizes staff to submit an application, therefore there is no fiscal im pact resulting from
this resolution. Should the Grant be awarded, staff will return with a future action to accept and appropriate
funds based on the award amount.
It is anticipated that the funds received from the California Coastal Commission would fully fund the
proposed project, offsetting proposed costs of the grant program, and resulting in no net fiscal impact to the
General Fund.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact as a result of this action.

2025-26 WHALE TAIL® COMPETITIVE GRANTS PROGRAM
GUIDELINES
Read these guidelines before beginning your grant proposal. Download the grant application
form at www.coastal.ca.gov/whaletailgrant.
INTRODUCTION
The California Coastal Commission’s WHALE TAIL® Grants Program funds projects that connect
people to the California Coast and its watersheds through education, stewardship, and
outdoor experiences. Education and stewardship projects relating to climate change as it
impacts the coast and ocean are eligible and encouraged. Adopt-A-Beach® programs, as well as
other beach stewardship and coastal habitat restoration projects that have an educational
component, are also eligible. WHALE TAIL® Grants focus on reaching communities all over
California that face barriers accessing marine education and stewardship opportunities.
Attachment A contains brief summaries of some recent grant projects.
BACKGROUND
The California Coastal Commission started the WHALE TAIL® Competitive Grants Program in 1998
with funding from purchases of California’s WHALE TAIL® License Plate. In 2014, the Protect Our
Coast and Oceans Fund was added to the California state tax return’s Voluntary Contributions
section to provide taxpayers the option to contribute to the WHALE TAIL® Grants Program. In
2021, the state budget provided one-time funding to the program.
The Coastal Commission is a state regulatory and planning agency that operates under the 1976
Coastal Act to manage the conservation and development of coastal resources in California. The
Commission’s Public Education Program works to increase public knowledge of coastal and
marine resources and to engage the public in coastal protection and restoration activities.
OTHER RESOURCES
The Coastal Commission offers a wide variety of free education resources and programs. Find
them here and coastforyou.org.
Learn how to adopt a beach on the Adopt-A-Beach® website. Contact us at
coast4u@coastal.ca.gov if you want to start a program in an area that does not currently have
one. Adopt-A-Beach® Managers are designated by Coastal Commission staff to operate the
program locally and serve as the liaison with the Commission.
If you’re interested in a grant to purchase a beach wheelchair and your organization is able to
manage a public lending program, contact us at coast4u@coastal.ca.gov.
When appropriate, educators may consider integrating into their projects the principles and
concepts of ocean literacy, California’s Environmental Principles and Concepts, and applicable
California State Content Standards.

OCEAN PROTECTION COUNCIL
For the 2025-26 competitive grant cycle, funding is being generously provided through a
partnership with the California Ocean Protection Council (OPC).
Background on OPC
OPC was established in 2004 through the California Ocean Protection Act and operates under
the California Natural Resources Agency. OPC’s mission is to protect California’s coast and
ocean by advancing innovative, science-based policy and management, making strategic
investments, and catalyzing action through partnerships and collaboration. These efforts deliver
significant benefits to the state while providing a global model for ecosystem-based protection
and conservation. OPC is charged with safeguarding the health and resilience of coastal and
ocean ecosystems for the benefit of all Californians.
OPC Goals and Priorities
In 2020, OPC adopted its Strategic Plan to Protect California’s Coast and Ocean, which outlined
OPC’s goals and priorities through 2025. OPC is currently developing its Strategic Plan for 2026–
2030, which will provide an ambitious, science-based roadmap for protecting California’s coast
and ocean through the end of this decade.
OPC strives to engage, partner, and collaborate with environmental justice communities,
underserved populations, and California Native American tribes to ensure all projects and
actions provide benefits to all Californians now and for future generations. OPC’s priorities are
centered around coastal and ocean access for all, inclusive and accessible engagement in
decision-making, and embedding equity within all OPC programs. Learn more in OPC’s Equity
Plan and Tribal Engagement Strategy.
OPC Funding
Funding for the 2025-26 WHALE TAIL® Competitive Grants cycle comes from California Climate
Investments, a statewide initiative that puts billions of Cap-and-Invest, formerly known as Cap-
and-Trade, dollars to work. In the Budget Act of 2024 (AB 107), $27.5 million was appropriated
to OPC to support resilience projects that conserve, protect, and restore marine wildlife and
healthy coastal and ocean ecosystems. More information, including links to OPC’s General
Grant Guidelines, funding opportunities, can be found on OPC’s Funding Webpage.

WHALE TAIL® GRANT PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Eligible Applicants
• Non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations
• Projects of a non-profit fiscal sponsor
• Public schools or districts
• Government entities
• California Native American tribes as defined by Governor’s Executive Order B-10-11
*Current Grants: If you have an open, competitive WHALE TAIL® Grant, do not apply for a new
grant until after you’ve completed your project and submitted your final grant report. No
preference is given to previous grant recipients during the review of new grant proposals.
Tribal Set-Aside
Approximately half of total grant funds ($1,000,000) will be set aside for projects led by
California Native American tribes, tribally-led entities, and organizations directly engaging
California Native American tribal communities.
Eligible applicants for tribal set-aside may include:
• Federally recognized tribal governments: Federally recognized tribes must provide
evidence of inclusion in the annually published federal register from the Secretary of the
Interior pursuant to 25 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 83, Section 104 of the
Federally Recognized Indian Tribe List Act of 1994.
• Non-profit organizations or fiscal sponsors applying on behalf of non-federally
recognized tribes, inter-tribal consortia, tribal conservation districts or other
organizations directly engaging California Native American tribes or tribal communities.
Qualified 501(c)(3) organizations must provide proof of partnership or support from
tribal leadership.
• School districts that directly engage California Native American students, when the
project is designed in partnership with a tribal government or demonstrates direct
engagement with tribal students. Applicants must provide proof of partnership or

City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda

Applicants must also provide a brief description of their relationship to the California Native
American tribe(s) or tribal communities directly engaged.
Note: Organizations that cannot provide this documentation may still be eligible to
apply for WHALE TAIL® grants under the general funding pool but will not be considered
under the tribal set-aside.
Eligible Projects
We strongly encourage projects engaging communities that face barriers accessing coastal and
marine education and stewardship. We also look for applicant organizations based in and
composed of the communities they are engaging. We strive for a broad geographic distribution
of projects across California.
Projects must engage communities in California and include education about coastal and marine
environments. This may include classroom-based programs, field trips, climate change education
and stewardship, coastal habitat restoration or shoreline cleanup programs with community
involvement, community or participatory science, cultural and ancestral practice preservation,
workforce development, and much more. Projects can engage participants of any age.
If a project will take place in an inland area or on a bay, the proposal should address how the
project includes coastal and marine educational content, including how the connection to the
coast and ocean will be emphasized.
Please see Attachment A for brief summaries of some recent WHALE TAIL® Grants.
Grant Size & Reimbursement
Approximately $2,000,000 will be awarded in total, with approximately $1,000,000 reserved for
projects led by California Native American tribes, tribally-led entities, and organizations serving
and/or engaging California Native American tribal communities. Please see Tribal Set-Aside for
details on eligibility.
You can request any amount up to $50,000. At least 25% of funded projects outside of the
tribal set-aside will be small grants of up to $25,000.
This is a reimbursement grant with the possibility for non-profit organizations and tribes to
request advance payment. Expenses will be reimbursed no m ore than once per month upon
submission of an invoice by the grantee, for hours already worked or purchases already made.
Grantees must submit receipts for expenses when invoicing. If you request advance payment,
you may have additional reporting requirements. Please see Attachment B for information on
advance payment.

have items larger than 30 Mb, consider using the upload option rather than email.
• File Upload: If you prefer to upload your packet, make sure all files have your
organization name in the file name and upload them to this Dropbox folder by 8:00pm
California time on December 15, 2025. Uploading a folder rather than separately
uploading multiple documents is best. Do not zip your files. Coordinate with your team
so that one person is responsible for uploading your documents. We recommend that
you do not wait until the last minute to upload your proposal, because uploading files
may take time.
• Postal Mail: If you choose to use postal mail, your package must be postmarked no later
than December 15, 2025. You do not need to pay for rush shipping. Mail application to:
Whale Tail Grants
California Coastal Commission
455 Market Street, Suite 200, Room 228
San Francisco, CA 94105
Do not include binders, folders, plastic overlays, or other extra packaging. If you want to
email or upload your packet but have a curriculum sample or other supplementary
material that you need to mail, you can do that separately (by the same deadline as
above). Include a note with the applicant organization name and project title.
Project Selection and Notification
See page 8 for the criteria we will use to review proposals.
After reviewing all proposals, we expect to make funding recommendations to the Coastal
Commissioners at their April 2026 public meeting. We will notify all applicants by email and
postal mail following the Commission vote. If your project is recommended for funding, you will
be notified by email prior to the Coastal Commission meeting. Emails will be sent from

ITEM TITLE
Grant Award and Appropriation: Accept Grant Funds from FEMA for the Assistance to Firefighters Grant
Program and Appropriate Funds
Report Number: 26-0006
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: Fire
G.C. § 84308 Regulations Apply: No
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California
Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines. Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no
environmental review is required.
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution accepting the Federal Emergency Management Agency Assistance to Firefighters Grant
Award of $331,963.63 and appropriating funds for that purpose. (4/5 Vote Required)
SUMMARY
The Chula Vista Fire Department has been awarded a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) under the Wellness and Fitness category in the amount of
$331,963.63. The awarded funds will be used to enhance and modernize the Department’s annual medical
evaluation program and move toward greater alignment with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
1582 standards.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under
Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change in the environment.
Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
This item is scheduled to be presented to the Measure A Citizens Oversight Committee (COC) at a special
meeting on January 15, 2026. At the time of agenda publication, the COC has not yet convened. If the COC
does not confirm compliance during its meeting, staff will pull the item for presentation.
DISCUSSION
The Chula Vista Fire Department currently maintains an occupational medical evaluation program that
includes a basic medical screening provided through Sharp Rees-Stealy Occupational Medicine. This
screening consists of a general physical examination and respiratory testing. In addition, Fire Department
personnel participate in periodic fitness testing, limited laboratory testing, and related training programs
through Santa Ana College. Collectively, these measures provide a foundational approach to monitoring
employee health and fitness. However, the existing program is under the recommended scope of the National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1582 Standard on Comprehensive Occupational Medical Programs for
Fire Departments.
The Chula Vista Fire Department has been awarded $331,963.63 in grant funding from the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), through its Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program, and is
requesting authorization from the City Council to accept the AFG Program funds in order to enhance its
occupational medical program and move toward greater alignment with NFPA 1582. NFPA 1582 establishes
nationally recognized, evidence-based medical evaluation criteria intended to support firefighter health,
safety, and operational readiness. Full implementation of the standard involves recurring medical
examinations, baseline and follow-up physical assessments, specialized testing, and appropriate
recordkeeping, which result in ongoing program costs.
The AFG Program grant funds will be used for eligible program expenses, including expanded medical
evaluations, full spectrum laboratory testing (such as full hormone panels), diagnostic cancer screenings,
fitness assessments, and associated program administration. Acceptance of the grant wi ll allow the Fire
Department to enhance its occupational health program without placing undue strain on the City’s General
Fund resources.
Enhancing the Fire Department’s medical evaluation program is expected to support employee health and
wellness, reduce occupational risk, and improve the Department’s ability to demonstrate medically
defensible fitness-for-duty practices. Over time, these improvements may help reduce long-term costs
related to work-related injury, illness, workers’ compensation claims, and employee absences. Ensuring that
personnel are medically qualified for duty supports effective emergency response and service delivery to the
community.
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize acceptance of AFG Program grant funding in the amount of
$331,963.63 to support these occupational health program enhancements.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and
consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real
property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
Page 536 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
P a g e | 3
Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Cou ncil member, of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this resolution will result in the acceptance of $331,963.63 in grant revenues from FEMA for the
AFG program and amend the fiscal year 2025-26 budget by appropriating $331,963.63 in the supplies and
services category of the Fire Grants section of the Federal Grants Fund. The grant requires a City match of
$33,196.37. The City’s share of the grant match of $33,196.37 will be funded from current appropriations in
the Fire Department’s Measure A fiscal year 2025-26 budget.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Future maintenance costs will be included as part of the annual budget development process and funded by
the Measure A Fund.

Article 48 Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation (EHP) Review
DHS/FEMA funded activities that could have an impact on the environment are
subject to the FEMA EHP review process. This review does not address all
federal, state, and local requirements. Acceptance of federal funding requires
the recipient to comply with all federal, state, and local laws. DHS/FEMA is
required to consider the potential impacts to natural and cultural resources of
all projects funded by DHS/FEMA grant funds, through its EHP review
process, as mandated by: the National Environmental Policy Act; Endangered
Species Act; National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended; Clean
Water Act; Clean Air Act; National Flood Insurance Program regulations; and
any other applicable laws, regulations and executive orders. General guidance
for FEMA’s EHP process is available on the DHS/FEMA Website. Specic
applicant guidance on how to submit information for EHP review depends on
the individual grant program. Applicants should contact their grant Program
Ocer to be put into contact with EHP sta responsible for assisting their specic
grant program. The FEMA EHP review process must be completed before
funds are released to carry out the proposed project, otherwise,DHS/
FEMA may not be able to fund the project due to noncompliance with EHP
laws, executive orders, regulations, and policies. DHS/FEMA may also need
to perform a project closeout review to ensure the applicant complied with
all required EHP conditions identied in the initial review. If ground disturbing
activities occur during construction, the applicant will monitor the ground
disturbance, and if any potential archaeological resources are discovered,
the applicant will immediately cease work in that area and notify the
pass-through entity, if applicable, and DHS/FEMA. EO 11988, Floodplain Management,
and EO 11990, Protection of Wetlands, require that all federal actions
in or aecting the oodplain or wetlands be reviewed for opportunities to relocate,
and be evaluated for social, economic, historical, environmental,legal, and
safety considerations. FEMA’s regulations at 44 C.F.R. Part 9 implement the
EOs and require an eight-step review process if a proposed action is
in a oodplain or wetland or has the potential to aect or be aected by a oodplain or
wetland. The regulation also requires that the federal agency provide public notice of
the proposed action at the earliest possible time to provide the opportunity for
public involvement in the decision-making process 44 C.F.R. §
9.8). Where there is no opportunity to relocate the federal action,FEMA is required to
undertake a detailed review to determine what measures can be taken to
minimize future damages to the oodplain or wetland.Article 49 Applicability of
DHS Standard Terms and Conditions to Tribal Nations The DHS Standard Terms
and Conditions are a restatement of general requirements imposed upon recipients
and ow down to sub-recipients as a matter of law, regulation,
or executive order. If the requirement does not apply to Tribal Nations, or
there is a federal law or regulation exempting its application to Tribal Nations,
then the acceptance by Tribal Nations, or acquiescence to DHS Standard
Terms and Conditions does not change or alter its inapplicability to
a Tribal Nation. The execution of grant documents is not intended to change,
alter, amend, or impose additional liability or responsibility upon the Tribal
Nations where it does not already exist.

Article 50 Acceptance of Post Award Changes
In the event FEMA determines that an error in the award package has been
made, or if an administrative change must be made to the award package,
recipients will be notied of the change in writing. Once the notication has
been made, any subsequent requests for funds will indicate recipient
acceptance of the changes to the award. Please email FEMA Grant
Management Operations at: ASK-GMD@fema.dhs.gov for any questions.
Article 51 Disposition of Equipment Acquired Under the Federal Award
When original or replacement equipment acquired under this award is no
longer needed for the original project or program or for other activities currently
or previously supported by a federal awarding agency, the non-state recipient
or subrecipient (including subrecipients of a State or Tribal Nation), must
request instructions from FEMA to make proper disposition of the equipment
pursuant to 2 C.F.R. section 200.313(e). State recipients must follow the
disposition requirements in accordance with State laws and procedures. 2
C.F.R. section 200.313(b). Tribal Nations must follow the disposition
requirements in accordance with Tribal laws and procedures noted in 2 C.F.R.
section 200.313(b); and if such laws and procedures do not exist, then Tribal
Nations must follow the disposition instructions in 2 C.F.R. section 200.313(e).
Article 52 Prior Approval for Modication of Approved Budget
Before making any change to the FEMA approved budget for this award, a
written request must be submitted and approved by FEMA as required by 2
C.F.R. section 200.308. For purposes of non-construction projects, FEMA is
utilizing its discretion to impose an additional restriction under 2 C.F.R. section
200.308(i) regarding the transfer of funds among direct cost categories,
programs, functions, or activities. For awards with an approved budget where
the federal share is greater than the simplied acquisition threshold (currently
250,000) and where the cumulative amount of such transfers exceeds or is
expected to exceed ten percent (10%) of the total budget FEMA last approved,
transferring funds among direct cost categories, programs, functions, or
activities is unallowable without prior written approval from FEMA. For
purposes of awards that support both construction and non-construction work,
2 C.F.R. section 200.308((f)(9) requires the recipient to obtain prior written
approval from FEMA before making any fund or budget transfers between the
two types of work. Any deviations from a FEMA approved budget must be
reported in the rst Federal Financial Report (SF-425) that is submitted
following any budget deviation, regardless of whether the budget deviation
requires prior written approval.
Article 53 Indirect Cost Rate
2 C.F.R. section 200.211(b)(16) requires the terms of the award to include the
indirect cost rate for the federal award. If applicable, the indirect cost rate for
the award is stated in the budget documents or other materials approved by

performed, or products supplied under the FEMA award subject to BABAA.
Article 55 Award Performance Goals
FEMA will measure the recipient’s performance of the grant by comparing the
number of items requested in its application, the numbers acquired (ordered,
paid, and received) within the period of performance. In order to measure

Article 57 Payment Information (Updated)
Recipients will submit payment requests in FEMA GO for FY25 awards under
this program.
Instructions to Grant Recipients Pursuing Payments
FEMA reviews all grant payments and obligations to ensure allowability in
accordance with 2 C.F.R. § 200.305. These measures ensure funds are
disbursed appropriately while continuing to support and prioritize communities
who rely on FEMA for assistance. Once a recipient submits a payment request
in FEMA GO, FEMA will review the request. If FEMA approves a payment, it
will process the payment through FEMA GO and the payment will be delivered
pursuant to the recipients SAM.gov nancial information. If FEMA disapproves
a payment, FEMA will inform the recipient.
Processing and Payment Timeline
FEMA must comply with regulations governing payments to grant recipients.
See 2 C.F.R. § 200.305. For grant recipients other than States, 2 C.F.R. §
200.305(b)(3) stipulates that FEMA is to make payments on a reimbursement
basis within 30 days after receipt of the payment request, unless FEMA
reasonably believes the request to be improper. For state recipients, 2 C.F.R. §
200.305(a) instructs that federal grant payments are governed by Treasury-
State Cash Management Improvement Act (CMIA) agreements ("Treasury-
State agreement") and default procedures codied at 31 C.F.R. part 205 and
Treasury Financial Manual (TFM) 4A-2000, "Overall Disbursing Rules for All
Federal Agencies." See 2 C.F.R. § 200.305(a).
Treasury-State agreements generally apply to "major federal assistance
programs" that are governed by 31 C.F.R. part 205, subpart A and are
identied in the Treasury-State agreement. 31 C.F.R. §§ 205.2, 205.6. Where a
federal assistance (grant) program is not governed by subpart A, payment and
funds transfers from FEMA to the state are subject to 31 C.F.R. part 205,
subpart B. Subpart B requires FEMA to "limit a funds transfer to a state to the
minimum amounts needed by the state and must time the disbursement to be
in accord with the actual, immediate cash requirements of the state in carrying
out a federal assistance program or project. The timing and amount of funds
transfers must be as close as is administratively feasible to a state's actual
cash outlay for direct program costs and the proportionate share of any
allowable indirect costs." 31 C.F.R. § 205.33(a). Nearly all FEMA grants are
not "major federal assistance programs." As a result, payments to states for
those grants are subject to the "default" rules of 31 C.F.R. part 205, subpart B.
If additional information is needed, a request for information will be issued by
FEMA to the recipient; recipients are strongly encouraged to respond to any
additional FEMA request for information inquiries within three business days. If
an adequate response is not received, the request may be denied, and the
entity may need to submit a new reimbursement request; this will re-start the
30-day timeline.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under
Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State
Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Allocation of the fifteen Peace Officer positions that were funded subsequent to the passage of Measure A to
the Measure A Sales Tax Fund was presented at a Special Meeting of the Measure A Citizens’ Oversight
Committee on January 8, 2026. The Committee confirmed that this allocation was in compliance with the
Measure A Spending Plan.
DISCUSSION
Fourth Amendment to the MOU with the Chula Police Officers’ Association
The City of Chula Vista and the and the Chula Vista Police Officer’s Association bargaining group entered into
a memorandum of understanding covering the period of May 4, 2021, to June 30, 2024, which was
subsequently extended to June 30, 2027. The City and the POA bargaining group have met in good faith as
required by the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (“MMBA") and desire to amend their MOU regarding Article 2.01
Wages. The fourth amendment to the POA MOU has been prepared to reflect the above desired amendments
and is included as Attachment 1 to this staff report.
In recent years, the City has experienced a significant decline in the number of qualified Peace Officer
candidates. In 2025, only five percent (5%) of applicants for Peace Officer positions were deemed qualified.
As a result of this trend, the Police Department currently has 28 sworn vacancies, representing
approximately 9.5% of the sworn workforce. To improve the quantity and quality of candidates, staff
recommend adding a seventh salary step to the POA-represented classifications, increasing the top step for
these positions by five percent (5%).
Adoption of Resolution A will approve the Fourth Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
between the City of Chula Vista and the Chula Vista Police Officers’ Association, covering the period of May
4, 2021, through June 30, 2024, and subsequently extended through June 30, 2027.
Compensation Schedule Requirement
California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5 requires that, for purposes of determining a retiring
employee's pension allowance, the pay rate be limited to the amount listed on a pay schedule that meets
certain requirements, including approval by the City’s governing body in accordance with the requirements
of applicable public meeting laws. The revised Fiscal Year 2025-26 Compensation Schedule ("Compensation
Schedule") was last approved by the City Council at their meeting on December 16, 2025.
Adoption of Resolution B will approve the revised Fiscal Year 2025-26 Compensation Schedule effective
January 23, 2026, reflecting the adjusted salaries for the Chula Vista Police Officer’s Association employee
group.

Authorized Position Count in the Police Department
The Measure A Sales Tax Fund currently funds several sworn positions and programs throughout the
department to enhance public safety and operational efficiencies. Staff is recommending allocating fifteen
Peace Officer positions funded subsequent to the passage of Measure A on June 5, 2018 to the Measure A
Sales Tax Fund, as shown on the table below:
Department Position Title FTE
General Fund
General Fund Total -15.00
Measure A Sales Tax Fund
Measure A Sales Tax Fund Total 15.00
All Funds Total 15.00
Adoption of Resolution C will amend the authorized position count in the Police Department as noted above.
Budget Amendments
Approval of Resolution D will amend the fiscal year 2025-26 Measure A Sales Tax Fund budget increasing
appropriations from fund balance by $1,342,623 in the Personnel Services category for the Police
Department as a result of the position and compensation changes described above.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and
consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real
property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this item results in the following current-year fiscal impacts:
General Fund: No net fiscal impact. Increased compensation costs of $1,304,149 will be fully offset
by the transfer of 15.0 FTEs to the Measure A fund.
State Grants Fund: No net fiscal impact. Increased compensation costs of $22,015 will be fully offset
by other savings within the fund.
Measure A Sales Tax Fund: Net fiscal impact of $1,342,623, to be paid from fund balance.

to the Personnel Services Category of the Measure A Sales Tax Fund.

Verdugo proposes council member suspension.
By
Albert Fulcher 11/24/2023
•Chula Vista City Attorney candidate Attorney Marco
Verdugo held a press conference in the Chula Vista City
Council courtyard Monday, proposing a three-point
comprehensive Anti-Corruption Action Plan to fight
corruption and hold City Hall accountable.
•Verdugo’s three-point plan is to reinforce the City’s
system of checks and balances by convening legal experts to
recommend revisions to the City Charter, including granting
the City the authority to investigate and recommend the
suspension of council members’ authority by a four -fifths
super majority when there is evidence of corruption or
malfeasance in office, with a clawback provision that
requires them to pay back their salary during their
suspension if they are convicted of a felony, and to establish
a transparent process for the City’s actions, ensuring due
process and protecting against political misuse of power.
•Verdugo said suspending a council member by
revising the City Charter is legally sound.

in public or urinating in public or defecating in public,” Bailey stated. “We just simply
don’t tolerate these BASIC CODE VIOLATIONS. What ends up happening is an individual

PLEASE REPORT SUSPICIOUS EMAILS BY USING THE PHISH ALERT REPORT BUTTON or to

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council Members,
I am writing to express my concerns regarding the current trajectory of the University
Innovation District (UID) and to propose a more resilient, economically viable alternative
for the 380-acre site.
While the goal of bringing higher education to South County is noble, the traditional large-
scale university model faces two major hurdles on this specific site: Redundancy and
Public Safety. With several major universities already serving the San Diego region, and the
site’s location in a High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, we must ask if bringing 20,000 daily
commuters and residents into a wildland-interface area is the most responsible use of
land.
Instead, I urge the Council to pivot toward an AI Data Center & Clean Energy Manufacturing
Hub. This "Modern UID" would offer several superior benefits:
• Public Safety & Fire Mitigation: A data center is a low-occupancy facility. In a wildfire
event, evacuating a small skeleton crew of technicians is significantly safer and faster than
attempting to evacuate a massive university campus.
• Economic Engine: High-tier data centers generate massive property and sales tax revenue
from the specialized hardware inside. This provides the city with a consistent "innovation"
tax base without the heavy burden on local traffic and transit infrastructure.

City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
Written Communications – PC Garcia – Received 1/14/2026
• Synergy with Clean Energy: Chula Vista has the opportunity to lead in "Green AI." By
requiring these facilities to be powered by on-site solar and battery storage, we can
catalyze the clean energy manufacturing sector right here in the South Bay.
• Workforce of the Future: We can still partner with SDSU or UCSD to create a "Satellite
Research Lab" on-site, where students gain hands-on experience with the AI infrastructure
powering the global economy, without needing the footprint of a full traditional campus.
Let’s not build for the 20th century. Let’s make Chula Vista the "Compute Capital" of the
San Diego region while prioritizing the safety of our residents and the preservation of our
land.
Respectfully,

ITEM TITLE
Condominium Density Bonus Project: Approve a Right-of-Way Vacation, Exempt Surplus Land Declaration,
and Tentative Map for an 11-Unit Condominium Density Bonus Project at Main Street and Maple Drive
REPORT NUMBER: 25-0095
LOCATION: Northwest corner of the intersection of Main Street and Maple Drive (APN 624-042-11)
DEPARTMENT: Development Services
G.C. § 84308 REGULATIONS APPLY: Yes
ENVIRONMENTAL NOTICE: The Project qualifies for a Class 32 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section
15332 (In-Fill Development Projects) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) State Guidelines
for the Tentative Map. The right-of-way vacation is not a “Project” pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5) of the
CEQA Guidelines.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
Conduct the public hearing and adopt resolutions:
A) Approving a vacation of the portion of Walnut Drive between Main Street and Spruce Road and
approving a tentative map (TM22-0004) creating an 11-unit condominium density bonus project
with site improvements; and
B) Declaring the City-owned real property located between Main Street and Spruce Road consisting of
a 4,552-square foot portion of Walnut Drive, exempt surplus land.
SUMMARY
Georgia Properties, Inc. (the “Applicant”) proposes an 11-unit condominium density bonus project on a 1.06-
acre parcel at the intersection of Main Street and Maple Drive (the “Project”). The Project includes a vacation
request for an undeveloped portion of Walnut Drive and offers one (1) of the residential units at an affordable
price for very low-income buyers. The Project Site is in the Single-Family Residence (“R1-P7”) zone and has
a General Plan land use designation of Low-Medium Residential (“RLM”). Prior to vacating the undeveloped
public right-of-way portion of Walnut Drive, the City must declare the real property as exempt surplus land
pursuant to Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(B).

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Project was reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and
determined that the Project qualifies for a Class 32 Categorical Exemption pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15332 (In-Fill Development Projects) because it is consistent with the General Plan land use
designation and the applicable zoning regulations for the Project Site; the Project Site is no more than five
(5) acres in area and is surrounded by urban uses and has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or
threatened species; the Project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality,
or water quality; and the Project Site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
The right-of-way vacation is found to be exempt from CEQA because it is not a “project” under Section
15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, no further environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
The Project is located within an established community in the southwestern portion of Chula Vista
(Attachment 1) and is consistent with the surrounding built environment as outlined in Table 1 below:
Table 1 – Surrounding Land Uses
Low-Medium
Residential (RLM) Single-Family Residence (R1-P7) Vacant
Medium-High
Residential (RMH)
One- and Two-Family Residence
(R2P) Townhomes
Low-Medium

Low-Medium

Medium
Residential (RLM) Apartment Residential (R3-P8) Single-family homes
Right-of-Way Vacation
Bisecting the Project Site is a flood zone that restricts development that can occur on the eastern portion of
the parcel. Much of the eastern half is rendered undevelopable for housing. Additionally, the current
alignment of Spruce Road, running the length of the northern boundary of the Project Site, encroaches onto
the Applicant’s property and further restricts the developable footprint of the Project Site.
Given these constraints, the Applicant is seeking to expand the developable area by vacating the southern
portion of Walnut Drive right-of-way. The undeveloped Walnut Drive right-of-way runs the length of the
western boundary of the Project Site, and if vacated, the Project’s footprint would expand, allowing the
Applicant to develop a portion of the Project in the vacated right-of-way.

P a g e | 3
Pursuant to Chula Vista Municipal Code (“CVMC”) Section 12.40.010, the City Engineer, in collaboration with
the Director of Development Services and the Director of Public Works, have conducted reasonable
investigations to ascertain whether the public interest would be served by vacating Walnut Drive public
right-of-way between Main Street and Spruce Road. Improving the right-of-way for vehicular use has no
community benefit, as the street would not enhance circulation in the area, and the street has no other
present or potential public use. Therefore, Staff recommends that this right-of-way be vacated.
Surplus Lands Act
The portion of Walnut Drive proposed for a right-of-way vacation is owned in-fee by the City. As such, it is
subject to the Surplus Land Act, or Government Code Sections 54220-54234. Under the Surplus Land Act,
any land owned by a public agency must be prioritized for the development of affordable housing, parks, or
open space when the agency disposes of the unwanted land. However, it allows for certain exemptions from
this requirement.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(B), because the property is less than one-half acre in area
and is not contiguous to land owned by a state or local agency that is used for open space or low- and
moderate-income housing purposes, the land is exempt from the provisions of the Surplus Land Act.
Government Code Section 54221(b)(1) requires the City Council to take formal action at a regular public
meeting to declare the Property exempt surplus land, as supported by written findings, before the City may
take any action to dispose of the Property. The written findings supporting an exempt surplus land
declaration must be provided to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”)
for review at least 30 days before the City’s disposition of the land pursuant to Section 400(e) of the HCD’s
Surplus Land Act Guidelines. HCD has responded to the City’s findings and concurred with the qualification
of Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(B) for the subject property (See Attachment 2-Draft Resolution and
Attachment 6-HCD Correspondence).
Density Bonus
The Project proposes to apply State Density Bonus Law (Government Code Section 65915) by providing an
affordable unit deed restricted to a household of very low income (50 percent area median income). In
accordance with State Density Bonus Law, providing this unit at the indicated level of affordability entitles
the Applicant to a density bonus of up to 46.25 percent. Since the underlying zone allows a maximum of seven
(7) dwellings, the density bonus will allow four (4) additional units for a maximum of 11 dwelling units
(46.25 percent of seven (7) units equals 3.24, rounded up to four additional units).
Additionally, the State Density Bonus Law allows for the waiver of development standards that would
physically preclude the Project from being constructed at the density permitted after utilizing State Density
Bonus Law. The Applicant requests waivers of each of the development standards italicized in Table 2 below
with the following proposed standards, underlined for visibility. The Applicant must meet all other
applicable standards and regulations for the Project.

Table 2 – Development Standards
EXISTING
:
Front: 15 feet
Side: 13 feet (combined)/10 feet (exterior)
Rear: 20 feet
Front: 15 feet
Side: 13 (combined)/10 feet (exterior)
Rear: 15 feet
28 feet 35 feet
2.5 stories 3 stories
0.45 0.50
Because the State Density Bonus Law authorizes the construction of up to 11 units, the Applicant also
requests a waiver of the requirement limiting one detached dwelling on a single lot in the R1 zone. The
Applicant is requesting the waivers because of the constraints of the property that make development of the
units infeasible as detached units. Meeting all of the City’s development standards would prevent the
Project’s permitted development.
In accordance with State Density Bonus Law, the City may not apply any development standard that would
physically prevent development at the permitted density unless the waiver or reduction would have a
specific adverse impact upon health or safety with no feasible way to mitigate it. The City is further limited
in its ability to deny waivers unless they would have an adverse impact on properties listed in the California
Register of Historical Resources or would be contrary to state or federal law. Staff has determined that no
such impacts would result from the requested waivers.
Tentative Map
The following describes the Project’s tentative map consistency with the CVMC and the Subdivision Manual.
Subdivision Design
The Project consists of an 11-unit condominium map on 1.06 acres, served by a major throughfare, Main
Street (Attachment 2). The homeowners’ association, required as part of the tentative map approval, will be
responsible for the maintenance of the private driveway and landscaped areas.
Dedications
In accordance with the California Subdivision Map Act (Government Code §66475 et seq.), the applicant shall
provide an irrevocable offer of dedication (IOD) for 17 feet of public right-of-way along the northerly side of
Main Street between Maple Drive and Walnut Drive, seven (7) feet of public right-of-way along the westerly
side of Maple Drive between Spruce Road and Main Street, and a variable-width strip of public right-of-way
along the southerly side of Spruce Road between Maple Drive and Walnut Drive. The IODs are conditioned
to be granted by notation on the Final Map as shown on the Tentative Map.
Grading
To create the building pad, grading of the Project will consist of moving approximately 78,300 cubic feet of
soil. The soil on the site can support the new development, but some earthwork and grading will need to
occur prior to construction of any improvements.
Page 702 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
P a g e | 5
The top one (1) to two (2) feet of soil will be treated and compacted. In the northeastern portion of the site,
three (3) feet of the existing San Diego formation will be removed and replaced with compacted fill. For the
building areas, the top three (3) feet of soil will also be compacted, and the land will be graded to slope
towards the streets.
In accordance with CVMC Chapter 15.05, the Applicant must obtain a grading permit prior to the issuance of
any building permits or beginning any earthwork activities at the site. Grading will be consistent with the
City’s Subdivision Manual and the Development Storm Water Manual.
While tentative maps would normally be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission, the City
Council is the only legislative body authorized to approve street vacations. City Council Policy No. 400-02
requires a consolidated hearing when a single development project requires multiple permits and approvals
by more than one decision-making authority.
Project Access
Vehicular access to the Project Site is provided from Maple Drive. Each unit includes individual garages, and
guest parking will be located along an internal private driveway. No vehicular access is proposed from Spruce
Road or Main Street.
Drainage
The proposed onsite private drainage systems will include a mix of overland, gutter, and pipe flows directed
to the site basin for treatment, hazard mitigation, and peak flow attenuation. Discharge to the street gutter
from the basin will occur at the low point/cross gutter. The Project includes improvements along street
frontages, resulting in additional paving widths, curb and gutter, and sidewalk.
Sewer
The Project Site is within the boundaries of the City of Chula Vista’s wastewater service area. The existing
sewer facility system utilizes sewer lines along Maple Drive. The Applicant is required to submit a final sewer
study prior to grading permit issuance.
Emergency Services
The Fire Department reviewed the Project and has approved it with fire access to be facilitated from Maple
Drive.
Parks and Open Space
Two (2) parks are located near the Project Site. Los Niños Park and Loma Verde Park are located 0.32 and
one mile north of the Project Site, respectively. The Applicant will be required to pay in-lieu parkland
acquisition and development fees pursuant to the requirements of CVMC Section 17.10.070.
Schools
The Project is in the attendance area of Otay Elementary School, which is within the Chula Vista Elementary
School District. The Project is also within the attendance area of Castle Park High School within the
Page 703 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
P a g e | 6
Sweetwater Union High School District. The Applicant will be required to pay applicable development fees
to the school districts prior to building permit issuance.
Housing Impact Statement
Neither the subject property nor any portion thereof was identified in the General Plan’s Housing Element
to accommodate a portion of the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) toward addressing
regional housing needs.
The Project will add 10 market rate townhomes and one very low-income townhome to the City’s existing
housing stock. There is no net loss of housing capacity as it pertains to the City’s RHNA.
Conclusion
The Project complies with the standards, policies, and guidelines outlined in the CVMC and the Subdivision
Manual, except where waivers, concessions, or incentives have been requested in accordance with the State
Density Bonus Law. The findings for denying such deviations, as outlined in Government Code Section
65915(d)(1), are not met. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Project as proposed, subject
to the conditions in the attached resolution. Staff further recommends that the City Council declare the public
right-of-way portion of Walnut Street between Main Street and Spruce Road as exempt surplus land pursuant
to Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(B) as set forth in the attached resolution.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings within 1,000
feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Consequently, this item does not
present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under California Code of
Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(7) or (8), for purposes of the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code
§87100, et seq.). Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member of
any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
There are no current year fiscal impacts to the General Fund or Development Services Fund resulting from
this action. All costs incurred processing this application are borne by the Applicant.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There are no ongoing fiscal impacts to the General Fund or Development Services Fund resulting from this
action.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula Vista
does hereby find and determine as follows:
I. STREET VACATION FINDING
Based on the evidence submitted and in accordance with Streets and Highways Code
section 8324, the City Council finds that the portion of Walnut Drive described in Exhibit
A is not necessary for present or prospective public use.
Page 707 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
Resolution No. 2026-
Page No. 3
II. TENTATIVE MAP FINDINGS
Pursuant to Government Code section 66473.5 of the Subdivision Map Act, the City
Council finds that the tentative map, as conditioned herein, is consistent with the elements
of the City’s General Plan, with specific reference to the following:
1. Land Use
The General Plan land use designation is Residential Low Medium (RLM) with the
zoning designation Single Family Residence (R1-P7, 7 du/ac). The development
shall be carried out in conformity with the applicable land use designations , goals,
and objectives of the General Plan’s Land Use and Transportation Element. The
Project shall also be eligible for the State Law Density Bonus (SDBL) provisions
permitting an increase of up to 46.25 percent above the base residential unit density.
The 11 condominium units are consistent with the General Plan, CVMC and SDBL
provisions.
2. Urban Circulation
In conformance with Chapter 5.4 (Urban Circulation Element) of the General
Plan’s Land Use and Transportation Element, the Project includes safe and direct
pedestrian pathways that connect residential units to public sidewalks, common
areas, and nearby transit stops. There is adequate vehicular access from adjacent
public rights-of-way, ensuring safe and efficient ingress and egress for residents,
visitors, and emergency vehicles.
3. Economic Development
The Project proposes the development of for-sale townhomes, which will provide
homebuyers the opportunity to purchase homes in an area lacking diverse housing
types and varying costs for different income levels. The proposed homes provide
variation in housing opportunities available to Chula Vista residents, consistent
with Objective ED 2 of the General Plan’s Economic Development Element. The
Project also fosters economic development benefits at the community level by
providing for increased housing densities within the same development footprint.
These increased densities allow for infrastructure and municipal services to be
provided at reduced cost per capita (more people served by the same municipal
services).
Additionally, with increased housing (and population) within the same
development footprint, increased densities improve the viability of community-
serving commercial and public/quasi-public uses as well as alternative
transportation modes. As a result, the Project may serve as a catalyst for small and
midsized industries and businesses, as well as community-serving and
neighborhood uses consistent with Objectives ED 3 and ED 9 of the General Plan’s
Economic Development Element.

January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
Resolution No. 2026-
Page No. 4
4. Housing
The subdivision design creates 11 residential condominium units. The proposed
Project furthers Goal 2 of the General Plan’s Housing Element by “facilitating the
construction and provision of quality housing to meet the City’s diverse needs by
type, size, ownership level, and income levels.” Additionally, the proposed project
would support Smart Growth Principles, as it provides compact development
oriented to pedestrians, bicyclists and transit, and would further minimize urban
sprawl development patterns.

ITEM TITLE
Presentation: Hear a Presentation from Stradling Yocca Carlson and Rauth, Bond and Disclosure Counsel,
Regarding Federal Securities Law Matters Related to Disclosure Responsibilities
Report Number: 26-0014
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: Finance
G.C. § 84308 Regulations Apply: No
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined in Section 15378 of the California
Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines. Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no
environmental review is required.
Recommended Action
Receive the presentation.
SUMMARY
The City and its various Authorities periodically issue bonds which contain ongoing legal requirements.
Bond and Disclosure Counsel Stradling Yocca Carlson and Rauth have agreed to provide the City
Councilmembers with federal securities law training and the opportunity to ask questions regarding the
process for preparing the Preliminary Official Statement for proposed sale of bonds. As the City continues to
issue debt to either refinance outstanding bonds or finance new projects, training regarding federal
securities law matters related to the offer of municipal bonds is recommended.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under
Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change in the environment.
Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
The purpose of this agenda item is to provide the City Councilmembers with federal securities law training
and the opportunity to ask questions regarding the process for preparing the Preliminary Official Statement
for proposed sale of bonds.
The City of Chula Vista, the Chula Vista Municipal Financing Authority, the Chula Vista Public Financing
Authority, and the Chula Vista Bayfront Facilities Finance Authority issue bonds from time to time. These
bonds are offered to investors through a Preliminary Official Statement which is similar to a prospectus in
the corporate market. It contains the information necessary for investors to make an informed decision
regarding the purchase of the bonds. When municipal bonds are sold to investors in a public sale, certain
provisions of federal securities laws apply to the offering. Specifically, the offering is governed by federal
securities laws which makes it unlawful for an issuer of bonds to make a misstatement of a material fact or
to omit a material fact in connection with the bond offering. The Securities and Exchange Commission has
made clear through various releases and enforcement actions that the members of the governing board of
an issuer of municipal bonds have a duty to review the key elements of the preliminary official statement
before bonds are sold. The Securities and Exchange Commission has also emphasized the importance of
governing board members and key staff members receiving securities law training so that they are familiar
with the federal securities law standards that are applicable to a sale before bonds are offered.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff have reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and have determined that it is not site-specific
and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Councilmembers do not create a disqualifying real
property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
Staff are not independently aware and have not been informed by any City Councilmember of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
There is no current-year fiscal impact as a result of receiving this presentation.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact as a result of receiving this presentation.
ATTACHMENTS

Why Is Disclosure Necessary?
•The City from time-to-time issues securities in
the public capital markets
•Investors in municipal securities have
protections under federal securities laws
•All “material” information must be disclosed
2
Page 761 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
City Disclosure
•Preliminary Official Statement/Official
Statement (POS/OS) is the offering document
to investors - equivalent to corporate
prospectus
•Must contain all material information for the
particular bond sale
•POS/OS is the City’s document
•Municipal advisor, underwriters and lawyers
can help develop the POS/OS but the City is
ultimately responsible for the accuracy and
completeness of content

City Disclosure - Continued
•Broad description of City’s financial and economic
condition
•Description of budget process, major revenue
sources and expenditure programs
•Information on recent and current budgets –
“structural” deficit?
•Information on debt – types and amounts
•Litigation
•Risks to finances/operations – e.g., cyber security,
general economy and climate change

Antifraud Provisions
“Rule 10b -5”
•“It shall be unlawful for any person . . .
a) To employ any device, scheme or artifice to
defraud,
b) To make any untrue statement of a material fact or
to omit to state a material fact necessary in order
to make the statements made, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading . . . .”

The “Materiality” Standard
•“[w]hether or not there is a substantial
likelihood that a reasonable investor or
prospective investor would consider the
information important in deciding whether or
not to invest.”
•Provide all the facts and let the investor
decide
6
Page 765 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
When Do Disclosure Rules Apply?
•New offerings
•Annual Continuing Disclosure Reports
•Any other circumstance where an Issuer is
“speaking to the market”
•Whether a communication is “speaking to the
market” will depend on the official making the
statement and the audience (e.g., public
speeches, press releases/interviews, social
media)
7

January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
Summary
•Adopt disclosure policies and promote adherence
•Familiarize yourself with the POS/OS
•If you are aware of any particular areas of concern,
inquire how they are addressed
•During the marketing and sale of the bonds, make
sure any public statements are consistent with the
POS/OS
•Create a culture of transparent disclosure – it
comes from the top

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Boards and commissions with potential recommended changes to their structure were notified of this City
Council item and invited to provide written or in-person comments at this meeting.
DISCUSSION
Background
This item is based on a December 16, 2025, City Council referral to the City Clerk, in coordination with the
City Attorney, to review the City’s boards and commissions appointment framework and return with
recommended amendments to support greater district-based representation, consistent with legal
constraints, subject-matter expertise, and the City Charter.
Key Terms
For purposes of this item:
“District-based appointment process” means the District Councilmember serves as the nominating
authority for a seat, and the nomination is then brought forward for appointment by the full City
Council.
“District residency requirement” means the person appointed to a seat must reside in the specified
district at the time of their appointment and throughout their term.
Historically, when the district-based appointment process is used, the member is generally required to reside
in the corresponding district, with limited exceptions based on a commission’s specific structure. For
consistency, staff used that same approach when identifying preliminary opportunities.
In all cases, members are appointed by a majority vote of the City Council in accordance with the City Charter.
Nominations may come from the Mayor, a City Councilmember, or another authorized nominating authority,
depending on the body and seat type.
Current Framework
The City’s boards and commissions use multiple appointment methods, including the general appointment
process, the full City Council interview process, and a district-based appointment process for specific seats.
Some bodies also include seats with required subject-matter qualifications or use Charter-mandated or
specialized selection procedures.
Several commissions already include district-based seats (for example, representatives nominated by each
district Councilmember where the member is required to reside in the corresponding district), while others
are entirely at-large under the general appointment process.
Staff’s review of district residency among current voting members across boards and commissions indicates
the following distribution: District 1 (37), District 2 (31), District 3 (29), and District 4 (12), which City
Council may wish to consider as it discusses opportunities to expand district-based representation.
Page 770 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
P a g e | 3
Several commissions already include seats that use the district-based appointment process and include a
district residency requirement (e.g., Health, Wellness, and Aging; Human Relations; Measure A and Measure
P Citizens’ Oversight Committees; and Parks and Recreation), while other boards and commissions do not.
This item focuses on the preliminary opportunities identified in this report. Boards and commissions not
listed are not included in staff’s preliminary recommendations at this time. Staff welcomes any feedback on
additional boards and commissions for future consideration.
Preliminary Opportunities for City Council Consideration
Staff identified two categories of potential opportunities:
A. General appointment bodies with minimal seat-specific constraints:
For the following commissions/boards, four of the existing at-large seats could be redesignated (one
per district) to use the district-based appointment process and include a district residency
requirement for those seats:
Board of Library Trustees
Charter Review Commission
Sustainability Commission
Traffic Safety Commission
Veterans Advisory Commission
B. Additional opportunities (commissions with seat-specific qualifications and/or a different
appointment process):
These bodies include seat-specific qualifications and/or alternative appointment methods. Two
options are outlined for each.
Cultural Arts Commission: The Municipal Code requires that all nine voting members
demonstrate competence, knowledge, and experience in cultural arts, and that at least six
members be appointed as “qualified professionals” from among artists, educators, and those with
professional qualifications and experience in arts and cultural disciplines. Two options are
outlined below:
1. Four of the existing “qualified professional” seats could be redesignated (one per district)
to use the district-based appointment process and include a district residency
requirement, while maintaining the applicable qualified professional requirement.
2. The commission’s composition could be amended to include five “qualified professional”
seats (instead of six), and the remaining four seats could be redesignated (one per
district) to use the district-based appointment process and include a district residency
requirement. Those four seats would still be required to meet the general Cultural Arts

City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
P a g e | 4
Commission qualifications applicable to all voting members but would not be required to
be “qualified professionals.”
Planning Commission: The Planning Commission has seven voting members appointed through
the Full City Council Interview Process. The Municipal Code provides for four at -large seats and
three “qualified professional” seats, which should be filled by individuals sensitive to design
considerations and interested in townscape matters, including architects, landscape architects,
land planners, urban planners, civil engineers, and other design professionals with suitable
experience. City Council may already consider geographic diversity, including district residency,
when making appointments under the current framework; however, there are no formal district
representation requirements. Two options are outlined below:
1. Optional geographic guidance could be added to the Planning Commission section of the
Municipal Code (e.g., encouraging geographic diversity and noting that district residency
may be considered as a factor), while preserving flexibility to appoint the most qualified
applicants citywide and without adding a district residency requirement.
2. The four at-large seats could be redesignated (one per district) to include a district
residency requirement, while maintaining the Full City Council Interview Process for all
appointments.
Transition and Continuity
If changes are made to seat designations, currently seated members would continue serving through the end
of their current terms (i.e., no member would be removed mid-term). When terms expire, individuals seeking
reappointment would need to qualify for the seat as structured at that time, including any applicable district
residency requirement. The Municipal Code also establishes the process for the City Clerk’s Office to
recommend seat redesignations to City Council if seat requirements are changed.
Requested City Council Direction / Next Steps
Staff seeks City Council direction on the following:
1. Scope: Which boards/commissions, if any, City Council would like staff to move forward with drafting
Municipal Code amendments for.
2. Interim appointments: While staff prepares any proposed amendments, whether City Council wishes
to continue processing appointments as usual or hold appointments for boards/commissions that
may be affected by potential amendments.
Following City Council direction, the City Clerk, in coordination with the City Attorney, will prepare an
ordinance implementing any changes to the boards and commissions appointment framework. If seat
designations or qualifications are modified, the City Clerk’s Office will return to City Council with a
subsequent item as provided in the Municipal Code to redesignate seats for affected commissions.

DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff have reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and have determined that it is not site-specific
and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Councilmembers do not create a disqualifying real
property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
Staff are not independently aware and have not been informed by any City Councilmember of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact associated with receiving the presentation and providing direction to staff.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
No ongoing fiscal impact associated with receiving the presentation and providing direction to staff. Any
future fiscal impacts, if any, would be evaluated if City Council directs subsequent amendments requiring
additional resources.

Hiring Committee South County Higher Education Task Force
Subject: Application for Task Force Development Planning Specialist
Retiring Navy Chief Petty Officer
Dear Hiring Committee,
I am writing to express my profound interest in contributing my 24 years of proven executive leadership, operational planning, and
global program development experience to the South County Higher Education Task Force. As a recently retired Navy Chief Petty
Officer and Independent Duty Corpsman (IDC), and a vested, multi-time homeowner in the Chula Vista community since 2019, I am
uniquely positioned to support your mission to establish a brand-new four-year university in our city.
My 24-year career required me to function as an autonomous leader in dynamic, resource-constrained, and high-stakes
environments—analogous to establishing a complex organization from the ground up.
Page 22
Page 818 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
The IDC designation demanded not only advanced clinical judgment but also full responsibility for logistics, comprehensive
regulatory adherence, and budget management for all medical operations.
My experience directly translates to the Task Force’s needs, specifically in creating foundational health, safety, and operational
infrastructure (OSHA, ADA, campus clinic development, and accreditation readiness) that will guarantee a secure and compliant
campus from day one.
Furthermore, my time as a Fleet Marine Force (FMF) Corpsman and Foreign Military Advisor during multiple combat deployments
equipped me with essential skills for your vision. I specialized in building complex programs and relationships from scratch,
developing and executing cross-cultural training programs, and overseeing global logistics.
This background is invaluable for the new university’s inevitable need for international outreach, establishing study abroad programs,
and forging strong, strategic relationships with diverse local stakeholders—all while demonstrating the utmost resilience and
adaptability.
I am not merely seeking a job; I am seeking a commitment to the community that has been my family’s home for years. I am eager to
transition my naval commitment—one based on Honor, Courage, and an unwavering commitment to service—into helping realize the
profound educational and economic benefits this university will bring to South County.
I welcome the opportunity to meet with the Task Force to detail how my extensive leadership and operational expertise can
immediately contribute to your planning phase and ensure the successful, compliant, and timely launch of the new university.
Sincerely,
Raymond L Bedard

campus is brought to the School of Medicine to meet with scholars and learn about the medical pathway.

As a second-generation Chula Vista native and ‘Hilltop Lifer’ (elementary, middle, and high school graduate), South County is home. Since interning at South County EDC
during my SDSU undergrad years, I've dedicated my career to advancing our region's economic prosperity through business programs and student initiatives. I continue giving
back as a current mentor to high school students at CVLCC through Junior Achievement, supporting the next generation of South Bay leaders.

At San Diego Regional EDC, I oversaw the Advancing San Diego internship program, providing paid opportunities to first-generation South Bay students at local companies. I
regularly engaged with Chula Vista's Economic Development Department to advocate for regional projects. At SDSU, I support South County organizations through CA Jobs
First. I mentor high school students at CVLCC via Junior Achievement and am committed to deepening engagement with additional South County organizations in 2026.

I have served CVESD for over 20 years...eight years has been through our District's Innovation Department hosting a STEAM classroom - the Energy Station - housed at the
South Branch CV Public Library. Its goal is to introduce careers in the Clean Energy industry to 6th graders. Developing the curriculum, I have become familiar with San Diego
Workforce Partnership, SWC, and educators in CTE. To date, I've taught nearly 25,000 students, many of whom will be directly impacted by the vision of UID.

In my experience developing students for the World of Work, I believe there needs to be a more fluid transition from K-6 to the middle and high school settings. I have met
many 6th grade students who have limited understanding of how their strengths, interests or skills may lead to a future career. Youth often learn best from modeling and
experiential practice. I am hoping my role as a representative on this Task Force is to bring a perspective from my field which might be overlooked.

Community engagement is done through classroom visits, which parent chaperones attend. This allows me to empower parents to continue the higher education and trade
school conversations at home. Since school demographics vary, the need for career development talk is greater in some areas than others. Hence, I'm often tasked with extra
school outreach to those with lower percentile test scores. I also partner with the South Branch Library to host public STEAM events advocating Clean Energy.

Dear Search Committee
It is with great interest that I apply for the position of
Administrative Director & Pathways Research Analyst. As
you will note, I have progressive administrative experience
as well as broad-based exposure within the demanding
environment of academia, which uniquely qualifies me for
this position. I am experienced in the management and
administration of budgets, personnel, and facilities and
possess competencies in using resources effectively.
Working to develop and implement inclusive programs that
are designed to build on students’ interests and
backgrounds in community service is a specialty. Identifying
populations or communities at risk for health disparities is a
passion of mine, especially assisting with the directing,
instructing, and proving direct exposure, training, and
creating new opportunities to work with identified
underserved groups of students, to further their passion,
help them to gain knowledge and skills, and equip them
with what they need to become agents of change and
inclusive and diverse health equity conscious leaders. As a
current UCSD LEAD Fellow, I am well versed in campus
engagement and the facilitation of crucial conversations
around improving organizational learning and campus
climate. I hold a Doctorate and master’s degree in
Educational Leadership with an emphasis in Postsecondary
Education, two bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and
Africana Studies and several certificates: Community
College Instruction, Management and Leadership, “Institute
on the Crisis of Young Black Males,” and the “Penn Equity
Chula Vista, CA 91910

Institute.” Thus, I am well versed in working as a change
agent in cooperative and collaborative ways. I have held
leadership roles at the community college, public and
private four-year institutions. And in doing so, have been
influenced to adopt a student-centered orientation,
committed to ensuring student academic, personal and
educational success. I understand the importance of
grounding organizational development within a
sociocultural theory. Especially when working to create
“communities of practice” for diverse populations and
advancing the concept of equity, inclusion and social
justice within organizations. As a student affairs profession, I
subscribe to a conscious leadership style determined to
lead in purposeful and intentional ways. My leadership
platform embraces a commitment to be consciously
aware, purposeful, intentional, accountable and
responsible. I am committed to enhancing student learning,
promoting effective organizational practices, and meeting
both departmental and campus goals. As a researcher, I
use predicative analysis to inform change management
that is inclusive of culturally responsible interpretation. I am
committed to demonstrating excellence, while driving
agency, with hopes of encouraging institutional
transformation, as it relates to overall equity, inclusion and
social justice, simple by ensuring organizational change
management, strategic planning, professional coaching
and managing culture changes.
Summary of Experience
My approach of building authentic relationships has served
me well for many years and as a result I have achieved
mature insight into academic systems. I have demonstrated
experience communicating with varied cultures and at all
levels within organizations. The pandemic presented a
unique opportunity for me to design, plan, develop, and
create a new office focused on onboarding all incoming
first-time freshmen. Recently, I was tasked by the President
of California State University, San Marcos to create the
Office of Success Coaching, focused on onboarding all
newly admitted students into their first year in college. My
strengths lie in my ability to attend to detail, work
independently, communicate effectively with diverse
cultures, and to energize and motivate students and
professional staff. I have over twenty years of practical
experience in staffing practices, including goal setting,
Page 135
Page 931 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
supervision, recruitment, hiring, training, motivating, and
evaluation of staff and student employees. My expanded
experiences within the field of higher education have
afforded me the opportunity to observe the production
and quality of work of my staff in real time, develop and
implement performance standards using principles of
people analytics, mentor, and provide objective feedback,
while at the same time offer coaching and counseling as a
resource. I possess strong qualitative assessment and
evaluation competencies, which have assisted me in
negotiating and mediating change and transformation
within organizations. Objectively, I am skilled at monitoring
and assessing staff capabilities and workloads, and if
needed capable of designing training and professional
development opportunities. I am fully capable of assessing
and evaluating specific workplace challenges and
comfortable with applying corrective actions to both
students and professional staff.
As an expert in change management, I believe in building
“communities of practice,” both on and off campus, by
aligning myself with relevant partnerships and resources. For
me, working with people is a natural! I have experience
working cooperatively and collaboratively across
department to assess, analyze learning needs of individuals,
develop educational training and professional training to
achieve organizational goals and objectives. Specialist in
creating cultural and intellectual tools and coordinating
resources that reinforce learning and enhance individual
employee’s growth and development. Excellent at levering
resources and communicating/sharing programs as
needed. Recognition of these attributes have earned me
many distinguished students service awards such as the
UCSD Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action & Diversity
Award, SDSU’s Mortar Board Outstanding Faculty and Staff
Award and SDSU’s Quest for the Best. I am a purposeful and
intentional leader and seasoned qualitative researcher,
who developed a new and innovative leadership theory
and praxis, Conscious Leadership. Conscious Leadership is
a shared process and embraces the understanding that
everyone must become more accountable and
responsible for student success and developing a rich
educational environment.

Student Equity and Success
A commitment to student equity, equality and success are
embedded within my leadership practice. Fundamental to
my understanding of student success is knowing that it can
only be accomplished through cooperative and
collaborative engagements. Included in my portfolio of
knowledge and practice as it relates to student
development, is my extensive experience in mentoring,
motivating and developing student into conscious leaders.
In my role as the Retention Coordinator, I was responsible
for orientating the students with institutional policies and
procedures, while providing ongoing advisement in the
areas of retention services, degree completion, and
developing them as leaders. Moreover, I served as a
Liaison/Advisor for two undergraduate Engineering student
organizations, the National Society of Black Engineers
(NSBE) and the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers
(SHPE). At UCSD, I work closely in efforts to support the
needs of the student chapter Society for Advancement of
Hispanics/Chicanos and Native Americans in Science
(SACNAS), where I advised students on the executive
board, coordinated student attendance to regional and
national conferences and monitored students’ academic
performance, ensuring a balanced student life. Key to this,
forming both on campus and off campus collaborations. As
a professional student affairs staff member, assisting
students in learning about processes of shared governance,
committee work and decision making, was and is my norm.
Creating an optimal environment for learning and support,
armored with cultural tools for actualized success for all
students, regardless of race, gender, age, disability, or
economic circumstances.
Professionally, committee work is a familiar responsibility. In
my role as the Program Coordinator for the Miramar
College Trio office, I sat on the International/Diversity
committee and Student Services Student Learning
Outcome committee. Along these same lines, at UCSD, as
the Graduate Student Affairs & Diversity Officer, I guided
and advocated for graduate students, regarding key
shared governance issues, particularly, those concerning
policies that impacted all graduate students, such as
registration fee allocation and tuition affordability. In
addition, I served as one of the advisors for the Graduate
Page 137
Page 933 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
Student Association, and supervised two graduate student
internships, whose position was designed to service as
graduate student resource internships. Moreover, I assisted
these internships in interpreting college campus policies
and procedures, identify relevant resources and trained
them on how to become effective advocates for the entire
graduate student population. In other words, my role was
to make sure that the students who held these positions
received all relevant information and resources needed to
best fulfill their respective duties and responsibilities. Often,
my use of innovative and conscious conflict resolution
techniques and practices were called upon to bring about
consensus and guide the students on framing their
message with constituents, concisely and clearly. In the
end, I understand the importance of empowering the
students, administrators, faculty and staff to move towards
success.
Student Services Activities
My experience as it relates to planning, organizing and
implementing student activities and support services are
extensive. Over the years, I have demonstrated that I am a
capable leader with a broad background in both
traditional non-traditional student development,
engagement, and creating strong supportive environments
for effective teaching and learning. In my current role as
Program Manager for UCSD’s Center for Investigations of
Health and Education Disparities (CIHED) research unit, as
well as in my former position as Director of Professional
Development at SDSU’s College of Extended Studies, I have
had the opportunity to develop and manage new and
continuing initiatives that focused primarily on reducing
educational disparities and improving support services for
students. By developing communities of practice that are
cooperative and collaborative, I have been able meet
organizational goals and objectives. Lead student equity
planning, assessment and evaluation efforts to increase
success of all students and mitigate identified disparities
using college-based research by gender and for current or
former foster youth, students with disabilities, low-income
students, veterans, and students in ethnic and racial
categories. Using information technology to support the
social and cultural life of a community is part of the tools I
apply to ensure student success. Facebook and LinkedIn
have been incorporated into our process of tracking our
Page 138
Page 934 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
current and previous students and keeping them informed
about our program activities. Currently, I am working on
establishing and expanding STEM pipelines for local
community college students to UCSD. In this pursuit,
stakeholder’s relationships are being developed with
several community colleges, industry and UCSD
departments and STEM funded research programs. The
goal is not only to transfer students and assist them in
navigating towards degree completion, but to make sure
that they are prepared to enter graduate education or the
workforces. To date, CIHED has defined relationships with all
of the local community college STEM populations and
provides information about and access to transfer STEM
populations.
Program Development, Assessment and Review
I have an extensive background with program
development and review. In my current role, I redesigned
the UCSD National Institute of Health (NIH) funded Initiative
for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) program. It is
now more student-centered and incorporates a communal
student engagement and learning aspect. Since taking
over the management of the grant, we have increased the
graduate school acceptance rate and now have less than
10% attrition rate. Part of my responsibility is to write the
yearly progress reports to NIH. In doing so, I must be clear,
concise and effective in how we are accomplishing the
grant aims, goals and objectives. Currently, I am in the
process and assisting with the re-writing of the grant for
another five years. In my role as the Graduate Student
Affairs & Diversity Officer in the Graduate Division, I also
wrote the program progress report for our National Science
Foundation (NSF) grant, Alliance for Graduate Education
and the Professoriate (NSF-AGEP) and assisted with the
writing of the renewal for the grant, which was
subsequently awarded for four additional years. All
incoming grant graduate student recipients have achieved
PhD positions or are working in research laboratories, thus
having a 100% achievement. My vast experience with both
state funding, and federal grants provides me with valuable
insight and experience with outside agencies cooperation
and collaboration.
In accomplishing the commitment to college excellent, I
have had the opportunity to assist in developing Student
Page 139
Page 935 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
Learning Outcomes (SLO’s) from the faculty and
administration side. Working in dual roles, has assisted me in
understanding the bigger picture of what it takes to not
only retain and support a student, but educate them. As a
student support service officers and faculty, I understand
the importance of creating metrics that to ensure the
institution, faculty, staff and administrators are actively
attempting to reach the goal of student success.
Facilitating and engage faculty, staff, and colleagues in
collaborative processes by which to continually evaluate
and improve programs and services is natural process for
me. I have become effective and proficient in creating
alignments with campus departments to educate, provide
resources and meet organizational goals. Maintaining
currency of knowledge of legal requirements and
regulations as they pertain to student equity and other
student equity-related categorical programs, basic
supplemental instruction and support services.
Data Management
As a conscious leader, the use of data science is critical.
Assisting with the development of database management
to build predictive models of at-risk students has always
been a part of my professional positions. I believe data is
critical to making appropriate and conscious decisions and
policies. Thus, understanding how to interpret “big data” is
important. I am currently responsible for the development
and management of our student database. Keeping all
relevant student data in a central location for tracking
purposes is important for understanding programmatic
needs and reporting to funding agencies. In several of my
roles, both at the community college and university level, I
have had the opportunity and responsibilities in
coordinating and managing data. Effective data can assist
with driving decisions that are effective. I am very
knowledgeable and experienced in the process of data
collected, analysis and reporting. I can also design
qualitative and qualitative surveys, facilitate focus groups
and triangulate all data for meaning and understanding.
My data software knowledge includes quantitative
knowledge and experience with SPSS and FileMaker Pro.
Qualitatively, I understand NVIVIO and AtlasTi. I am versed
in the technique of conducting environmental scans, trend
analysis and interpretation to make decisions and improve
on specific initiatives. Finally, I always collaborate with on-
Page 140
Page 936 of 1137
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
campus research departments and evaluation agencies to
assess progress and success rate.
Budget and Personnel
Development and monitoring of programmatic budget,
which includes expenditure reporting, is common for me. I
have prepared and managed federal expended budgets
in excess of $100,000,000 in addition to various state funded
grants of $300,000. I have experience specifically managing
and evaluating student affairs personnel, conducting
training and development opportunities as an ongoing
professional development process. Beyond that, I have
many years of supervisory experience with both students
and permanent staff, which include but are not limited to
preparing work assignments and schedules. Additionally, I
have a working knowledge of various employee group
contractual agreements.
In me, you will get a strong conscious leader and visionary. I
am student-centered and intentional in all that I do. My
ability to evaluate and report on the effectiveness of
people and, services, strategies and approaches has
allowed me to develop my people analytics skills and
adjust as appropriate Consistency is a standard value,
along with demonstrating creativity, innovation to problem
solve and using data to drive decisions and improve
practices. Cooperation and collaboration are essential
elements that I use to create quality partnerships and meet
organizational goals. Over the years I have mastered
effectiveness in planning, organizing, implementing, and
coordinating creative, successful, well attended social,
cultural and educational programs, activities and events
under tight fiscal constraints. I believe in creating
“communities of practice,” which are focused on student
advancement and achievement. I would welcome the
opportunity to further discuss my qualifications and learn
more about the position. I am full of energy and enthusiasm

I've been a resident of South County for 25 years. The strength of our community is in it's diversity and as the second largest city in San Diego County, educational
opportunities continue to drive our neighbors out of our city. As a business owner, I see firsthand the impact of the lack of higher ed opportunity. Providing access to education

I was raised between San Ysidro, Chula Vista, and Tijuana and attended San Ysidro High School and graduated from Otay Ranch High School. While working at Harvard

COMMUNITY COLLEGE EQUITY ASSESSMENT LAB (CCEAL) (Total: $1,562,098)
The Community College Equity Assessment Lab (CCEAL) is a national research laboratory under the
Interwork Institute at San Diego State University. As Associate Director, I lead efforts to assist
community colleges in identifying challenges to equity-centered institutional effectiveness and
developing problem-solving strategies and solutions. I also conduct and disseminate empirical research
on the experiences of underrepresented and underserved students in community colleges. The external
contracts listed reflect the last 10 years of my engagement with this work, primarily with institutions and
organizations seeking to better understand the experiences of disproportionately and racially minoritized
student populations - namely, men of color. Since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the reduction of
state-level funding to colleges and universities for equity work began to decline. As a result, our center
has centered our grant efforts to private, non-profit funding agencies whose mission aligns with our
goals of supporting community colleges in enhancing equity efforts.

1. SP 2024 Becoming an HSI: Module 2 – Designed a 2-hour Canvas course module on behalf of
SDSU’s Hispanic Serving Institution Office. The module provides an introductory
overview of research and scholarship pertaining to HSIs and how SDSU faculty/staff can
work towards strengthening their service to Latina/o/x students.
SEMILLAS Research Fellowship Program (SRFP): The SRFP is a 10-week summer research fellowship
program designed to provide community college and transfer students with a general understanding of social
science research and its application to the study of higher education. This includes an overview of (a)
philosophical context of research; (b) basic concepts in research design, analyses, and interpretation; and (c)
research methodologies and theoretical frameworks commonly used in the study of higher education. Fellows
participate in weekly research training sessions, engage in critical dialogue with leading community college
scholars, and connect one-on-one with a mentor/femtor. Fellows’ culminating project involves a campus and
community research symposium hosted at the Center for Inclusive Excellence. The program’s design has been
adapted over the years (e.g., length, modality) to adjust to student needs.
For this program, I received the 2023 NASPA Latinx/o/a Knowledge Community Mena Valdez Award
for Outstanding New Program. In 2025, I was approached by the University of North Texas about
replicating my program for community college and transfer students beginning summer 2026.
2. Summer 2025 Program designed as a 10-week hybrid program for incoming SDSU transfer students.
3. Summer 2023 Program designed as a free, 10-week hybrid program for community college students to
learn about social science research.
4. Summer 2022 Program designed as a free, 8-week virtual program for community college students to
learn about social science research.
5. Summer 2021 *Before Tenure, but listed here for consistency.
Program designed as a free, 6-week virtual program for community college students to

EDUCATION
Ph.D. Teaching and Learning, Higher Education

Dissertation: Narrative Transportation Effects in Relationship with Empathy, Compassion for
Students, and Self-Compassion in Student Affairs Professionals
Prior studies found that audiences can become more empathic and form a positive view of a
character as a result of Narrative Transportation (NT). My study investigates the effects of NT on
Student Affairs (SA) professionals. 78 SA professionals were randomly assigned to one of two
narrative groups (text or video). The results indicated that the video group participants showed
more fantastic narrative transportation than those in the text group. Furthermore, SA
professionals showed that familiarity with the student experience was more important than
sharing an identity with the student in the story. My research also measured compassion toward
students and self-compassion (SC). My study results provide evidence of the impact of a student
story as a tool for SA professional development and well-being. Moreover, my study proposed
how students’ narratives can enhance institutional data and the need for SA professionals to
strengthen their digital identities via narrative.
