WHEREAS, the County of San Diego Air Pollution Control District (APCD) has
approved three grant proposals for a total of $414,325 made by the City of Chula Vista to

WHEREAS, a Transportation Demand Management Program (TDM) is a collection of
programs that will attempt to change travel/commuting behavior, so that traffic congestion
during peak demand periods is reduced; and

success, including: a financial incentives program; an express bus from eastern Chula Vista to
Downtown San Diego; and an express shuttle from eastern Chula Vista to the trolley; and
WHEREAS, on April 20, 2004 the City Council formally accepted the grants, authorized
the City Manager to sign an agreement with the San Diego Association of Governments
(SANDAG) to assist the City in implementing the program and appropriated $414,325 to provide
bridge funding for later reimbursement under the APCD grant; and
WHEREAS, the APCD had originally accepted SANDAG as the City's representative in
negotiating the detailed scope of work for each of the grants, and that SANDAG would be the
signatory to verify implementation responsibility; and
WHEREAS, a change in APCD policy now requires direct agreements with the grantee
(in this case the City) verifying scope of work compliance with reimbursements made directly to
the grantee; and
WHEREAS, this change has necessitated an amendment to the current City of Chula
VistalSANDAG agreement to recognize the change in contractual and funding relationships; and
WHEREAS, the APCD has asked the City to enter into three separate agreements, one
each for the individual scopes of work that have been developed for the three TDM
grants/programs; and

opening where CoachUSA was the low bidder on the express trolley shuttle and no bid was

express bus and express shuttle transit service; and
