ITEM TITLE: REPORT Pre-demolition Soil Sampling at the Former Fuller Ford
Site: 760 Broadway
SUBMITTED BY: Comm""i'Y D,""opm'~o' 1J'- Þ
REVIEWED BY: Executive Director~
--7 (4/5ths Vote: Yes - No .XJ
Council Referral Number: -
BACKGROUND:
At its meeting of May 30, 1995, the Redevelopment Agency directed staff to prepare a report
on the status of soil testing for the former Fuller Ford site at 760 Broadway, as it relates to
the proposed Broadway Business Homes project. The purpose of soil testing is to provide a
preliminary indication of the type and level of potential soil contamination beneath the
pavement prior to demolition of structures,
During the approximately 40 years of operation of the Fuller Ford facility, hazardous and non-
hazardous hydrocarbon compounds were known to be used on the site, A survey of the site
has revealed a total of 26 locations where potential release of one or more of these
compounds into the soil could have occurred.
A bid to perform the testing work in the most expeditious manner has been prepared and
submitted to the City by Woodward-Clyde Consultants. Detail on the scope of work and
costs for soil testing services is provided in this report. Results of the report, due in
approximately one month, are intended to be used by both the Agency and the developer to
determine whether soil remediation costs would affect the feasibility of the proposed project.
The developer has agreed that demolition work should wait until the test results are available.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Agency accept the Report and reserve action on the
demolition of structures on the site until the results of the soil testing become available.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A
DISCUSSION:
A Phase I Environmental Assessment performed on the property prior to Agency acquisition
recommended that additional testing of the soil be performed in concert with or following
demolition of the structures. Since demolition of structures may result in loss of value for the
site if the project were not to be built, it has become of interest to conduct pre-demolition
testing to better determine project feasibility with respect to potential soil contamination. The
26 locations proposed for pre-demolition testing consist of the following: a total of 24
(IJ)
Page 2. Item -
Meeting Date D6/03/95
hydraulic lift stations located on the western and northern portions of the site, and two above-
ground storage tank's located on the western portion of the site (one labeled for waste oil
storage and one for solvents),
Regular use of the 24 hydraulic lifts over the years has likely resulted in some leakage of
hydraulic fluid into the soil adjacent to the subterranean lift structures. In addition, potential
leakage from two above-ground storage tanks may have contaminated underlying soil. The
extent and concentration of contamination is unknown. The type of contamination associated
with hydraulic fluid used to operate the lifts and waste oil that had been contained in one of
the above-ground storage tanks is not regulated under the State Health and Safety Code as
hazardous waste but can require cleanup oversight by the Regional Water Quality Control
Board if they determine that the release is a threat to human health. Such a determination
is extremely unlikely in this case based on the anticipated quantities of contamination and the
distance to groundwater resources. Additionally, although solvents contained in the second
above-ground storage tank are classified as hazardous waste, the likelihood of extensive soil
or groundwater contamination is very low since any significant leaks or spillage of material
would be contained in a specially designed concrete containment structure. Therefore, the
suspected levels of any soil contamination is not anticipated to require cleanup provided the
existing structures and use of the site are maintained. However, if the contaminated soil were
exposed through site demolition, remediation would be required prior to establishment of a
new use that would have the potential of exposing people directly to contaminated soils,
The purpose of the pre-demolition testing is to determine if the character of contamination is
non-hazardous, as suspected. If hazardous materials are discovered as a result of the pre-
demolition testing and are in quantities or concentrations that would exceed anticipated
cleanup costs, the proposed development project may be delayed until cleanup costs can be
better analyzed by the Agency. Based on very generalized assumptions regarding the
quantities of non-hazardous contaminated soil, initial cleanup costs are estimated at this time
to be approximately $40,000.
Pre-demolition soil testing can be achieved through concrete boring and Geoprobe sampling.
A single boring for each test location would be advanced to a depth of 10 feet and samples
would be collected at 5 feet and 10 feet providing a vertical characterization of the sample
location, It should be noted that the inaccuracy associated with this method of testing in
determining total site contamination and estimating remediation costs is relatively high since
the sample will not provide any horizontal dimensions. This type of sampling is useful to
determine: 1) if there is any contamination in a given location, and 2) what the type and
concentration of contaminants would be, It should be further noted that if the specific
location of the boring is not precisely aligned with the location of contaminants, the sample
would yield a falsely negative result. More accurate testing can be achieved after site
clearance since visual inspection of all soil surface areas could be conducted.
Soil samples collected from the 26 locations will be screened for substances that are
reasonably expected to be present, based on the history of use and on the professional
judgement of the consultant. Testing for substances that would have a low probability of
occurrence based on the above factors is not proposed since the cost to benefit ratio of such
an analysis is unreasonably high.
An informal bid has been obtained from a single vendor who has performed extensive research
on the site to date at no cost to the City. Formal bidding or informal bidding from multiple

sources is not considered practicable in this case due to the extremely constrained schedule
required for the testing work. The selected consultant, Woodward-Clyde Consultants has
demonstrated their qualifications to the City through performance on other projects within the
City. The fixed-fee cost of their services is $13,100. A written report of the test findings
will be available with 3 to 4 weeks following execution of an agreement with the consultant.
Verbal results may be available earlier.
This information was shared with the developer on May 31, 1995 at which time they agreed
that the most prudent course of action was to delay demolition work for approximately one
month until the written report is available, The delay in demolition may delay development
and marketing of the project beyond this summer.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Costs to perform the pre-demolition testing services is $13,100, funds for which are available
in Account Number 996-9960-RD-133. No other work has been performed by the consultant
on this project previously, Although the City is fronting the costs for testing services, the
developer has agreed to share in the testing costs according to a formula that is being
developed as a part of the forthcoming Disposition and Development Agreement. The sharing
formula, predicated on the sale of the property, will have the developers paying the first
$10,000 in testing costs, the City paying the second $10,000, and the City and developer
splitting any additional costs up to $20,000, if required.

ITEM TITLE: Resolution 1454 Appropriating funds, accepting bids, and awarding
contract for "Demolition and Site Clearance of Existing Buildings at the
Fuller Ford Site at 760 Broadway in the City of Chula Vista, California
(RD-133 "
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Community Development {.I~
Director of Public Works
REVIEWED BY: Executive Director f}" (415ths Vote: Yes..K..No-.J
BACKGROUND: At 2:00 p.m. on May 3, 1995, in Conference Rooms 2 & 3 of the Public
Services Building, the Director of Public Works received bids for ,"Demolition and Site
Clearance of Existing Buildings at the Fuller Ford Site at 760 Broadway in the City of Chula
Vista, California (RD-1331." This work includes the removal of buildings, removal and
disposal of existing improvements, excavation and grading and other miscellaneous work
required by the specifications. The clearance of this site is being done to facilitate the
construction of the Broadway Business Homes project recently reviewed by the Agency.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Agency: 1 I appropriate $107,000 from the anticipated surplus
revenues in the Otay Valley Road Project Area Fund to RD133; and 2) accept bids and award
contract for "Demolition and Site Clearance of Existing B~ildings at the Fuller Ford Site at 760
Broadway in the City of Chula Vista, California (RD-1331" to Watkins Contracting, Inc. - San
Diego in the amount of $89,417.
BOARDSICOMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
At the meeting of May 2, 1995, the Agency reviewed plans and issues related to the
Broadway Business Home Project and directed staff to expeditiously process the project
including demolition on the Broadway site.
'"
Funds for this project were included in the Fiscal Year 1994-95 CIP budget (See Exhibit AI.
However, the funds are not sufficient to do the demolition work. Staff proposed to include
the additional funding in the 1995-96 CIP budget. However, because of the urgency of the
Broadway Business Homes project, and the need to demolish the existing structures at the
Fuller Ford site, staff bid this project prior to the approval of next year's budget so that the
demolition work could proceed as expeditiously as possible.
The Agency approved a Semi-Exclusive Negotiating Agreement with the developers of the
Business Homes Project in July 1994. The Project will be reviewed by staff and the Design
Review Committee this May/June. It is scheduled to go before the Planning Commission for
a required zoning change on June 14, and to the Agency for final approvals on July 11, 1995.
In order for the project to be under construction late this summer, site clearance must begin
now.

Since the Business Homes project has not as yet been approved by the Agency, there is some
risk that demolition of potentially reusable structures may be premature. However, the
structures are old, have been stripped of valuable materials and have been considerably
damaged by vandals since they were vacated last November, Any future reuse of existing
buildings would most likely mean continuance of auto related land uses. The Business Homes
project promises a departure from those uses and the beginning of redevelopment efforts
along Broadway.
Normally, demolition would not proceed until the project was approved and a Disposition and
Development Agreement authorized. However, this is not scheduled to occur until July 11,
1995 which would delay the start of demolition for almost two months. The demolition
contractor has 30 working days (approximately six weeks) to complete demolition work. If
demolition work starts by June 1, the site should be cleared and available by mid July to
coincide with Agency approval of the project. If the demolition work starts in late July, the
site will not be available until mid September.
The Developers are planning to construct model units this summer as well as begin
construction of Phase I for sale in the fall. It is generally more difficult to market residential
properties in the late fall and winter seasons.
Staff is demonstrating the "business friendly" environment in Chula Vista and is trying to
facilitate a development proposal which has very recently been strongly supported by the
Agency. The Developers are serious in their efforts and intent to purchase the property, and
have already invested over $150,000 of their own funds in this project.
Since your last review of this proposal, Courtney Tirås has reexpressed their interest in
purchasing the Ford site in additiOn to the former South Bay Chevrolet property, including the
Fuller Ford improvements. This prospective sale could be $2-3 a square foot higher than what
could be secured through the Business Homes project. This information has been transmitted
verbally to staff by their broker. A written offer is expected by Tuesday, May 23,
Bids were received from six contractors as follows:
Contractor Bid Amount
.' 1. Watkins Contracting, Inc. - San Diego $ 89.417.00
2. Cement Cutting, Inc. - San Diego 94,747.00
3. Cin-Mar Industries, Inc. - San Pedro 97,500.00
4. Roberts Engineering Contractors - Escondido 117,200.00
5. Mark McDowell Corporation - San Diego 128,667.00
6. Rutledge Gradalls - Jamul 135,957.00
The low bid by Watkins Contracting, Inc. is below the Engineer's estimate of $100,000 by
$10,583 or 10.6%.
Shortly after receiving bids, the City received a fax letter (Exhibit B) from the second apparent
low bidder (Cement Cutting, Inc) questioning the qualifications of the apparent low bidder,
Watkins Contracting, Inc. to perform the work.

Staff has reviewed Watkins Contracting, Inc. references and determined that the contractor
has the required license, the relevant experience and resources to carry out the work
necessary for the demolition and related work associated with the Fuller Ford Project. We,
therefore, recommend the contract be awarded to Watkins Contracting, Inc.
Disclosure Statement
Attached is a copy of the contractor's disclosure statement (Exhibit C).
Environmental Status
The City Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the work involved on the project
and determined that the project is exempt from CECA under Section 15061 (b) (3), the
"general rule" that CECA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a
significant effort on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no
possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the
activity is not subject to CECA.
Prevailina Waae Statement
The source of funding for this project is redevelopment funds. The prevailing wage scales are
those determined by the Director of Industrial Relations, State of California, and were
determined to be applicable to the work to be done. No special minority or women owned
business requirements were necessary as part of the bid documents. Disadvantaged
Businesses were encouraged to bid through the sending of the "Notice to Contractors" to
various minority trade publications.
Soils Testina
Current information indicates that the Fuller Ford site is free from soil contamination.
However, since hydraulic lifts are located on the site, it is possible that some seepage at the
base of the lifts has occurred. Agency staff is currently contracting for soils tests in these
areas to determine if there is any subsurface contaminations.

on the demolition site. The remaining $27,650 will be needed to complete the work
at the Autopark site plus pay for change orders needed for additional work on
Broadway in connection with the Broadway Business Homes development on the Fuller
Ford Site.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds from the sales of the South Bay Chevrolet parcel will be deposited
in the Otay Valley Road Fund and the anticipated surplus revenues above $1.15 million are
sufficient to cover demolition costs. Sale of the Chevrolet site is expected to occur in July,
and can be accrued as revenue for FY 94-95.

Re: Demolition and site clearance
Fuller Ford Site
760 Broadway
City of Chula Vista
(RD-113)
DeHr Mr. Saucedo:
The apparent low bidder for the above referenced project was
Watkins contracting.
Demolition is not by any means this firm's strong suit. They
are licensed A, S, and asbestos removal. They do not have a
C-21 license (demolition/house moving) and' as far a. 1 know,
do not own any equipment to do the demolition of the structures
at the Fuller Ford site. This leads me to my next point. The
only subs listed were for temporary fence, so how does Watkins
intend to remove the structures? AS part of the specifications
all the subs are to be listed.
It would be in the best interest of the City of Chula Vista
to disqualify watkins Contracting.
." Please let this letter serve as a formal protest.
Respectfully submitted,

RE: FORMER FULLER FORD SITE
Dear Chris:

FROM: Chris Salomone, Community Deve ment Directo
SUBJECT: May 30, 1995 Agency Agenda Item #2 - Broadway Business Homes Project: Demolition
of Fuller Ford Building
The Agency considered a request to authorize demolition of the Fuller Ford auto dealership buildings to
expedite the Broadway Business Homes Project at the meeting of May 23, 1995, The Agency requested
staff to report back on May 30, 1995 concerning progress made towards agreement on major items of
a Development Agreement with Josef and Lenore Citron, developers of the Broadway Business Homes
Project.
Staff met with the Citrons and their attorney on Wednesday, May 24, 1995 and will meet with them
again on Friday, May 26 to identify major issues and respective negotiating positions. The major issues
include the following:
1. Project phasing, including model units
2. Processing of a Parcel Map
3. Creation of a Maintenance District
4. Project financing
5. Agency Right of Reverter
6. Computation of Development Fees
7. Project Pro Forma
8, Payment of site contamination clean up costs (if necessary)
Of these items, #3 (Maintenance District), #7 (Project Pro Forma), and #8 (Site Contamination Clean Up
Costs), will require more time to resolve. Staff is scheduling a series of negotiating meetings with the
Citrons to try and reach agreement on major terms as precedent for demolition to proceed. This may
be accomplishable by the meeting of June 6, 1995. Staff reauests continuance of this item until that
date. The Citrons have concurred that a delay of one more week will not unduly delay the project.

accruing from the Business Homes Project versus use of the site for an auto service center. Staff has
estimated the following:
