RESOLUTION NO. 2005-333
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING A CHANGE ORDER
UP TO $200,000 FOR GRAFFITI REMOVAL ON THE
INTERSTATE 80S/OLYMPIC PARKWAYIEAST
ORANGE A VENUE INTERCHANGE PROJECT AND
AUTHORIZING THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
OPERATIONS TO EXECUTE SAID CHANGE ORDER
WHEREAS, on April 27, 2004, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2004-135
awarding the construction contract for the "I-80S/East Orange Avenue/Olympic Parkway
Interchange Improvements" project to Yeager-Skanska, Inc. for $ I 4.9 million, and Resolution
No. 2004-136 increasing the Director of Public Works Operations individual change order
authority up to $100,000 for said project. Costs for graffiti removal trom the project's new
sound walls and retaining walls will exceed $100,000; and
WHEREAS, since that time, an ordinance was adopted requiring graffiti to be removed
trom public and private surfaces within 48 hours after being reported; and
WHEREAS, as of August, in order to comply with the City's Graffiti Ordinance,
approximately $90,000 had been spent to remove graffiti from these walls. In addition, graffiti
attacks have increased from an average of once per week to two (sometimes three) times per
week; and
WHEREAS, once Caltrans assumes maintenance responsibilities for these walls, the City
will no longer be obligated to remove graffiti under its encroachment permit with Caltrans. It is
anticipated that the cost for graffiti removal on the project's new walls will be approximately
$150,000 prior to hand-over of maintenance for walls within Caltrans' right-of-way; and
WHEREAS, staff is requesting that the City Council approve a change order up to
$200,000 for graffiti removal because final costs cannot be accurately predicted due to the
criminal nature of this problem. Further more, project expenses for removal of graffiti from new
walls within the City right-of-way will be necessary until hand-over of maintenance
responsibilities to City Public Works Operations forces.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby approve a Change Order up to $200,000 for Graffiti Removal on the Interstate
80S/Olympic Parkway/East Orange Avenue Interchange Project and Authorizing the Director of
Public Works Operations to execute said Change Order.
