bidding a project the City Council may award a sole source contract based upon the appropriate
certification trom the City Manager; and
WHEREAS, based on informal proposals, Rudolph and Sletten, Inc., was selected as the
design builder with extensive experience for this type of project and who would best meet the
City's aggressive development schedule; and
WHEREAS, the City Manager has certified the sole source status of Rudolph and Sletten,
Inc. based upon the following:
1. Rudolph and Sletten, Inc. has specialized knowledge and experience related to the
unique scope of work involved with construction and rehabilitation of museum facilities
and aquatic exhibits. As presented in their proposal dated April 5, 2004, they have
extensive experience on similar projects such as the original construction and upgrade of
the Monterey Bay Aquarium, renovation of existing Ski Stadium Island on Mission Bay
into a complete aqua theater at Sea World San Diego ("Cirque de la Mer"), the Barbara
Morse Wackford Aquatic Complex, just to name a few.
2. Reference checks done as part of the original selection process for the qualified
design build list resulted in favorable reports regarding the work completed by Rudolph
and Sletten, Inc. Previous work done by design builder for the City has been excellent.
There have been no negative claims against their projects with the City and they have
demonstrated the ability to complete projects within the City's time and budget
constraints.
3. The proposed sole source agreement is consistent with the intent of the qualified
design build list established as a result of the Request for Qualification (RFQ) process as

selected.

certification and the City enter into a design build agreement with Rudolph and Sletten, Inc. for
the provision of services required to design and construct upgrades and replacements to the
Nature Center Interior Exhibits; and
WHEREAS, the Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project
for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and has determined that the
proposed project qualifies for a Class I categorical exemption pursuant to Section 1530 I of the
State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. Thus no further environmental
review or documentation is necessary.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby accept the City Manager's certification of sole source status and approve a
design build agreement with Rudolph and Sletten, Inc. for the provision of services required to
design and construct upgrades and replacements to the Nature Center Interior Exhibits, a copy of
