RESOLUTION NO. 2007-230
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA APPROVING THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
CITY OF CHULA VISTA AND RBF CONSULTING FOR THE
PROVISION OF CIVIL ENGINEERING AND SPECIAL
INSPECTION SERVICES FOR THE EASTLAKE PARKWAY
SEWER CONNECTION PROJECT (KY-709) AND
AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE
AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE CITY
WHEREAS, staff prepared and issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) on May 25, 2007,
and on June 15, 2007, the City received a total of two proposals for the provision of civil
engineering and special inspection services required for the EastLake Parkway Sewer
Connection Project; and
WHEREAS, the City's consultant selection committee reviewed the proposals and
interviewed the two firms and the committee ranks the consultants as follows:
Consultant Proposal Amount Consultant Ranking
RBF Consulting $180,388 First Nel1otiation Preference
Jacobs Associates $282,902 Second Negotiation Preference
WHEREAS, the ranking was based on the following: the consultant's experience, the
capacity to perform the work, the quality of the project team, the grasp of the project
requirements, responsiveness to the scope of work, the quality and clarity of the proposal,
familiarity with the local area and the fee proposal; and
WHEREAS, it is the committee's belief that anyone of these firms will spend
approximately the same number of base hours to complete this project. Therefore, based on their
greater experience and their grasp of the issues in conjunction with the fee proposal, it was the
committee's recommendation that RBF Consulting be the first negotiation preference. At this
time, staff is recommending the approval of an agreement with RBF Consulting to provide the
required services; and
WHEREAS, the Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project
for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that
the project qualifies for a Class 1 (c) (Existing Facilities) categorical exemption pursuant to
Section 15301 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Thus, no further environmental review is
necessary; and
WHEREAS, there is no impact on the General Fund as the funds for these improvements
have been provided for this project as part of CFD 06-1. All costs incurred in this effort (i.e.
Consultants expenditures and staff reimbursements) will be paid directly from the CFD as these
costs are incurred.
