The San Diego Urban Corps provides on-the-job training to young adults from disadvantaged inner-
city communities, including Chula Vista. Therefore, to assist with its fight against the proliferation
of graffiti, the City is partnering with the San Diego Urban Corps to assist with graffiti eradication
and recommends waiving, as impractical, the normal bidding process under provision 2.56.070 of the
Chula Vista Municipal Code. This project was approved as part of the FY07 budget process at an
annual cost of approximately $50,000.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: N/A

impractical and awarding the agreement for Graffiti Removal Services to San Diego Urban Corps for

To assist with its fight against the proliferation of graffiti, the City is partnering with San Diego
Urban Corps to assist with graffiti eradication. Under the proposed agreement, the San Diego Urban
Corps will be assigning a two-person crew, working two days a week, eight hours per day
maintaining various "hot spots" throughout the city whereby graffiti occurs on a regular basis. A
sample of these "hot spots" is provided below:
. 1-5 Freeway (from Main Street to E Street).

. Bay Shore Bike Path.
. Flood Control Channels (G Street, H Street, and J Street)
The San Diego Urban Corps' vehicles will be equipped with paint, rollers, and sprayers to paintover
graffiti where it cannot be removed by pressure washing. When pressure washing is required, these

agreement may be extended by mutual consent for four (4) additional, one-year option periods.
Adjustments during the second through fifth year will be based upon the All Urban Consumers/All
Items Component of the San Diego Metropolitan Area Consumer Price Index, as published by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, for the preceding twelve month period, (CPI increase), up to a maximum
of 5% per year.
