RESOLUTION NO. 2006-301
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA WAIVING THE FORMAL BIDDING PROCESS
AS IMPRACTICAL AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY'S
PURCHASING AGENT TO NEGOTIATE PURCHASE
ORDERS DIRECTLY WITH HANSON AGGREGATES,
INCORPORATED FOR PROCUREMENT OF AGGREGATE
PRODUCTS TO COMPLETE STREET MAINTENANCE
TASKS BY CITY CREWS
WHEREAS, the only aggregate supplier in the South Bay is Hanson Aggregates, Inc.,
located at the east end of Main Street; and
WHEREAS, Hanson Aggregates, Inc. currently owns and operates most of the aggregate
suppliers in San Diego County. The next closest aggregate suppliers are located in Mission Valley
and Carroll Canyon; and
WHEREAS, the material supply location is the single most important parameter affecting
the responsiveness, and efficiency of the Public Works Operations crews. The nature of the work
by the Street, Storm Water, and Wastewater crews require "just in time" delivery for material
transport to avoid costly stand-by time of labor, equipment and or delays in restoring public
services; and
WHEREAS, travel times to and from Mission Valley and other sources north of Interstate 8
take at least two hours and can take as much as four to five hours depending on traffic conditions
and potential delays at the plant. Idle time of labor and equipment adds up quickly when waiting
for materials needed to complete the work; and
WHEREAS, emergency repairs for catastrophic failures such as pavement sinkholes,
resulting from water main breaks, sewer line or culvert failures, require rapid access to aggregate
materials; and
WHEREAS, due to material costs increases, ranging from 54 to 68 percent depending upon
the material required, and increased demand for materials due to the continued growth of the City,
Public Works Operations anticipates spending over $250,000 during the current fiscal year to keep
our crews furnished with materials adequate to maintain the City's infrastructure.
