The County is locating the modular units to house the health service facility which was previously located in the building at the corner of Davidson Street and Fig Avenue in Chula Vista. The purpose of this report and the request for the Agency to consider a Land Use Permit was to comply with the requirements of the Redevelopment Plan and City's Zoning Ordinance.

The Town Centre Project Area Committee and the Design Review Committee reviewed the proposal and recommended that the Agency adopt the Negative Declaration with the County as the lead agency, and that the Land Use Permit be approved subject to conditions.

RESOLUTION 1136 APPROVING CHANGE ORDER NO. 1, CONSTRUCTION OF PHASE I IMPROVE- MENTS AT MEMORIAL PAtaK IN THE CITY AND AUTHORIZING THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TO EXECUTE IT ON BEHALF OF THE AGENCY On April 24, 1990, the Redevelopment Agency by Resolution No. 1073 awarded a contract to L.R. Hubbard Construction, Inc. for Redevelopment Aaencv Minutes -4- November 15~ 1990 the construction of Phase I improvements at Memorial Park. During the course of construction, it became necessary to modify the contract. Proposed Change Order No. 1 would compensate the contractor for services and work performed on the Agency's behalf to complete/correct anomalies found at the project site. The additional work consists of: a) Increase quantity of import fill b) Perform soil testing c) Removal and disposal of a channel apron d) Backfill well casing The amount for the change order totals $33,014.03. Member Nader noted that on page two of the agenda statement regarding import of fill, it is indicated that a student intern will be utilized to count trucks and observe that they are full as they come in. He questioned if this is the most appropriate way to use a student intern. Further, he suggested staff take the approach of letting the bidders look at the project, make a determination in their minds of what would be needed to accomplish the stated goal, and let them bid on the project on that basis. City Engineer Swanson stated the import fill estimate was originally prepared by the consulting architect that the City used to prepare the plans. Apparently, they did not have sufficient data and therefore the estimate for fill was lower than what is needed. The project has already been awarded, and it is not a matter of being able to go out to bid. Member Nader suggested that for future projects, staff look into contracting for a particular amount of fill as stated above in order to avoid these type of cost overruns. Responding to questions of Member Moore, Associate Civil Engineer Saucedo stated it is anticipated that the job will be completed by the end of December. RESOLUTION OFFERED BY C~AIRMAN COX; the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and was approved unanimously. MOTION MSUC (Nader/McCandliss) refer to staff to provide an information report to the Agency as to what changes in the City's bidding procedures may be implemented as a result of the discussion at this meeting. 9.
