RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA ACCEPTING THE FINAL REPORT OF
EXPENDITURES FOR THE "CHULA VISTA COMMUNITY
PARK EMERGENCY SLOPE REPAIR" AND RATIFYING THE
ACTIONS OF THE CITY MANAGER AND DIRECTOR OF
ENGINEERING AND GENERAL SERVICES FOR MAKING
AND EXECUTING A CONTRACT FOR SAID EMERGENCY
REPAIR WITH CASS CONSTRUCTION, INC.,
ESTABLISHING A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FOR
THE WORK COMPLETED AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS
THEREFOR
WHEREAS, on Tuesday, September 4,2007, Public Works - Park Maintenance staff was
informed by the Otay River Contractors that the slope located adjacent to the Southbay
Expressway (SR-125) at Otay Lakes Road had been undermined, due to a broken 2-inch
irrigation valve creating a large cavity approximately 16 feet deep by 10 feet wide; and
WHEREAS, the Park Maintenance staff responded immediately to secure the affected
area and turn off that section of the irrigation system to prevent further damage; and
WHEREAS, a Council Information Item was submitted on October 2, 2007 with the plan
to come back to Council with a final report after the full cost of the project was identified; and
WHEREAS, the Director of Engineering and General Services and the City Manager
agreed with the recommendation of staff on the necessity to proceed with the emergency repair
for the following reasons:
. Due to heavy use of the Chula Vista Community Park by the residents and by
Eastlake High School, City staff needed to take all possible precautions to insure
general public safety.
. If the slope was not repaired as soon as possible before that rainy season begins,
the park might sustain additional unnecessary damage.
. In order to avoid jeopardizing the scheduled opening of the Southbay Expressway
(SR-125), the off-ramp serving as the site for the construction equipment access
(adjacent to the subject slope failure) cannot be obstructed in any manner and,
thus, slope remediation must be completed in this area as soon as possible to
avoid any potential delays with the SR-125 construction; and
