ASSESSMENTS, REHABILITATION RECOMMENDATIONS
AND PRIORITIZATION OF THE CITY'S CORRUGATED
METAL PIPE (CMP) PIPELINES AND ASSOCIATED
IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA, AND
AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE
AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE CITY
WHEREAS, approximately 88,000 linear feet of Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP) currently
exists within the limits of the City of Chula Vista. The pipe segments are located throughout the
City within right-of-way, easements, private property and/or undeveloped areas and are currently
being used to convey storm water runoff; and
WHEREAS, the City is in need of a qualified consultant to survey, inspect, and assess the
current condition of these pipes, as well as to provide recommendations on their rehabilitation
and a prioritization of this rehabilitation; and
WHEREAS, staff prepared and issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) in November 2004,
and on December 17, 2004, the City received a total of four proposals from six consultants; and
WHEREAS, upon the conclusion of the consultant interviews and deliberations by the
consultant selection committee, the committee ranked the consultants as indicated on the
following table:
Consultant CMP CCTV Inspection & Condition Consultant
Assessment Proposal Amount Ranking
Hirsch & Company $504,898 First Negotiation
Preference
Second
PBS&J $368,387 Negotiation
Preference
DMR Team Total Not Provided Third Negotiation
Preference
WHEREAS, although the cost proposal from Hirsch & Company is higher than the other
consulting firms, the selection committee determined Hirsch & Company demonstrated a more
realistic understanding of the project requirements and demands in that Hirsch's proposed
deliverable was more in line with the City's needs, in terms of software requirements and
compatibility with the City's Geographical Information System (GIS). Also, Hirsch & Company
demonstrated greater experience specific to this type of project. Hirsch & Company proposed to
deliver a more turn key product to the City that will serve the City's needs immediately, with
minimal, if any transition. Therefore, it was the selection committee's belief that Hirsch &
Company's fee proposal was justified; and

WHEREAS, the Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project
for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and has determined that the
project qualifies for a Class 6 categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15306 of the State
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. Thus, no further environmental
review is necessary.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista
does hereby approve the agreement with Hirsch & Company, to provide professional engineering
services for closed-circuit televising (CCTV) inspections, and condition assessments,
rehabilitation recommendations, and rehabilitation prioritizing of the City's CMP pipelines and
associated improvements for the City of Chula Vista, and authorize the Mayor to execute said
agreement on behalf of the City.
