Page 4 - Council Agenda 11/07/2000
received on May 13, 1997. R.F. Dickson Company, Inc. was the low bidder, and
Cannon Pacific Services was the second lowest bidder. Staff and R.F. Dickson have been
unable to reach an agreement on terms for the one-year option authorized under the
current agreement, and Dickson has given 30 days notice, effective November 1, 2000.
Staff is requesting that Council authorize the proposed agreement with Cannon Pacific
Services for a six-month extension, retroactive to November 1, 2000. The additional time
will provide staff the time needed to develop a new request for proposal. (Special

1. CONSIDERATION OF SITES FOR THE NEW POLICE FACILITY
Mayor Horton stated that due to the number of citizens who have spoken in opposition to the use
of Friendship Park for the new police facility, she believed that staff and the consultants should
focus their attention on alternative sites. She then made the following motion.
ACTION: Mayor Horton moved to eliminate Friendship Park from further analysis and to
direct staff to look at the other sites which have been previously evaluated and
which will accommodate the facility and program as has been described by the
consultants; and for staff to reevaluate the sites already considered and report
back with recommendations utilizing the relevant criteria previously identified,
which includes proximity to the Civic Center and the Third Avenue/downtown
corridor, consolidation of government services, and cost. Councilmember Padilla
seconded the motion.
Deputy Mayor Moot stated that it would be poor fiscal policy to eliminate Friendship Park from
future consideration at this point in the process. He supported focusing on an alternate site at this
time but asked the Council to keep its options open so that the costs of other sites could be
compared to those of Friendship Park.
Councilmember Padilla stated that the Council needs to consider the better judgment of the
community, and the community wants Friendship Park preserved as passive parkland.
Councilmember Davis stated that the criteria of time mid money were used to justify the taking
of the park, and there are other criteria of importance to the community. She supported the
proposed motion.
Page I - Council Minutes 10/23/00
Councilmember Salas mentioned that she had stated from the beginning that she would not
support the use of Friendship Park unless the City could mitigate the loss, and there is no place in
the urban core in which to do so.
Mayor Horton commented that the proposed motion would provide direction to staff and the
consultants to seek an alternative site close to the Civic Center that will meet the needs of the
Police Department and be acceptable to the community. She then called for a vote on the
motion.
The motion carried 4-I, with Deputy Mayor Moot opposing.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
There were none.

At 6:52 p.m., Mayor Horton adjourned the meeting to the Regular Meeting of October 24, 2000.

DISCUSSION:
In May/June of 1998, the City Council undertook proceedings to form and did form Community
Facilities District No.'s 97-1 and 9%2. The purpose of CFD No. 97-1 is to provide a long term
funding program for the operation and maintenance of the public landscaping improvements
within the Otay Ranch SPA One. The purpose of CFD No. 97-2 is to provide a long-term
management program for the Preserve Area's sensitive habitats, cultural and biological
resources.
Parcel 35A is a long slender piece of property running between McMillin Property and Otay ..~
Ranch Company from Otay Lakes Road south to R-28. This property has been mapped by Otay
Ranch Company (ORC) to be incorporated into Village Five Phase 2 - Residential Areas R-25,
R-26A, R-26B, R-27 and R-28, as well as the dedication of a linear open space/trail segment and
a neighborhood park.
On October 4, 2000 the City received a letter (Exhibit D) from Otay Ranch Company providing
additional breakdown by Residential Areas for the additional units proposed to be constructed
within Parcel 35A. Based on the adopted Special Tax Report, the budget and per unit allocations
it appears that the additional 62 single family units will generate sufficient tax revenues to offset
the anticipated maintenance costs related to the annexation of Parcel 35A. As explained in
Exhibit D the anticipated revenues for the annexation area is $45,207 while the estimated
maintenance cost for this area is $10,500.
Parcel 35A developers and future residential units wilt be subject to the provisions of the adopted
Rate and Method of Apportionments prepared for both CFD No.'s 97-1 and 97-2. (Refer to
Exhibits E and F) The application of the Rate and Method of Apportionment will implemented
by the "Special Tax Report" prepared for both districts.
The three out-parcels and the San Diego waterline easement strip within Village One West has
been incorporated into the revised Tentative Map for this planning area. These annexation
parcels have been integrated into either the residential, multi-family or open space layouts. The
proposed units within these annexation parcels will be reflected in the revised budget for each
CFD. Based u.p_on the adopted "Special Tax Report" and the Rate and Method of Apportionment
the pro. po_sed units wilLprnvid~ additinnal r~velllL~ for the operations and maintenance--6T'these
~listricts.
Page 3, Item
Meeting Date: 11/7/00
The developers and future residential units will be subject to the provisions of the adopted Rate
and Method of Apportionment prepared for both CFD Nos. 97-1 and 97-2.

allocation of units, square footage calculations, and consider these annexations ready for council
approval.

Resource Monitoring, and Preserve Operations and Maintenance for Parce!s
and adding to that the maximum revenue which could be generated by
multiplying the total acres for Parcels classified as Non-Residential Parce!s by

Step 2: If the total revenue as calculated in Step 1 is greater than the estimated
Special Tax Liability for Improvement Area A, reduce the Special Tax for each
Parcel proportionately so that the Special Tax levy for the Fiscal Year is equal
to the Special Tax Liability for the Fiscal Year.
Step 3: If the total revenue as calculated in Step 1 is less than the Special Tax Liability
for improvement Area A, a Special Tax shall be levied upon each Parcel within
Improvement Area A, classified as Category Il. The Special Tax for Parcels
assigned to Category Il shall be calculated es the lessor of:

I11 Acres owned by such owner(s) and collected from the applicable owner(s) with the
remaining portion of the Special Tax Liability not related to delinquent Special Taxes to
be collected from all Parcels in Category I1[ according to the procedure set forth in the

Improvemeht Area B for Resource Monitoring by multiplying the total Acres for
Parcels. assigned to Category III by the Maximum Special Tax for Category III.
Step 2: If the total revenue as calculated in Step 1 is greater than the Special Tax

_Levv and Apportionment of Special Taxes
The City shall determine the Special Tax Liability for each Improvement Area in each
Fiscal Year on or about every July. 1. Special Taxes shall then be levied on each
Parcel classified as the Category 1, Category Il, or Category Ill in the following order of
priority:
lmDrovement Area A
Step 1: Determine the revenue which could be generated by Parcels assigned to
Category I by multiplying the Building Square Footage for Parcels classified as
Residential ParCels by the Maximum Special Tax per Building Square Foot for
Resource Monitoring, and Preserve Operations and Maintenance for Parcels
and adding to that the maximum revenue which could be generated by
multiplying the total acres for Parcels classified as Non-Residential Parcels by
the Maximum Special Tax per Acre for Resource Monitoring and Preserve
Operations and Maintenance.
Step 2: If the total revenue as calculated in Step 1 is greater than the estimated
Special Tax Liability for Improvement Area A, reduce the Special Tax for each
Parcel proportionately so that the Special Tax levy for the Fiscal Year is equal
to the Special Tax Liability for the Fiscal Year.
Step 3: If the total revenue as calculated in Step 1 is less than the Special Tax Liability
for Improvement Area A, a Special Tax shall be levied upon each Parcel within
Improvement Area A, classified es Category II. The Special Tax for Parcels
assigned to Category II shall be calculated as the lessor of:
(il The Special Tax Liability for Improvement Area A as determined by the
City, less the total revenue generated for all Parcels under Step 1 above,
divided by the total Acres for all Parcels within Improvement Area A
assigned to Category II,
OR'
(ii) the Maximum Special Tax rate for Parcels assigned to Category II
Step 4: If the total revenue as calculated in Step 1 and 3 is less than the Special Tax
Liability, for Improvement Area A, a Special Tax shall be levied upon each
Parcel within Improvement Area A classified as Category Ill. The Special Tax
for Parcels assigned to Category III shall be calculated as the lessor of:
Resolution 1 91 1 0
Page 1 1
(il The Special Tax Liability for Improvement Area A as ~e~ermined by the
City, less the total revenue generated for all Parcels under Step i and 3
above, divided by the total Acres for all Parcels within improvement Area A
assigned to Category
OR
(ii) the Maximum Special Tax rate for Parcels assigned to Category Ill and
within Improvement Area A.
However, in the event it is determined that the Special Tax Liability for Improvement
Area A includes delinquent Special Taxes from Parcels in Category II1 from the prior
Fiscal Year, the City shall determine the amount of delinquent taxes that arose from
such Parcels and identify the owner(s). The amount of delinquent Special Taxes, if
any, that arose from the applicable owner(s) shaII first be divided by the total Category
I11 Acres owned by such owner(s) and collected from the applicable owner(s) with the
remaining portion of the Special Tax Liability not related to delinquent Special Taxes to
be collected from all Parcels in Category III according to the procedure set forth in the
preceding paragraph.
Improvement Area B
?
Step 1: Determine the revenue which could be generated by Parca!s assigned to
Improvement Area B for Resource Monitoring by multiplying the total Acres for
Parcels assigned to Category III by the Maximum Special Tax for Category I11.
Step 2: If the total revenue as calculated in Step 1 is greater tha,q the Special Tax
[..iabiiity for Improvement Area B, reduce the Special Tax for each Parcel
proportionately so that the Special Tax levy for the Fiscal Year is equal to the
Special Tax Liability for Improvement Area B for the Fiscal Year.
However, in the event it is determined that the Special Tax Liability for Improvement
Area B includes delinquent Special Taxes from Parcels in Category Ill from the prior
Fiscal Year, the City shall determine the amount of delinquent taxes that arose from
such Parcels and identify the owner(s). The amount of delinquent Special Taxes, if
any, that arose from the applicable owner(s) shall first be divided by the total Category
III Acres owned by such owner(s) and collected from the applicable owner(s) with the
remaining portion of the Special Tax Liability not related to delinquent Special Taxes to
be collected from all Parcels in Category Ill according to the procedure set forth in the
Step 1 and Step 2 above.

D. Resolution of the City Council of the City of Chula Vista,
California, adopting an Annexation Map showing property to be annexed to
Community Facilities District No. 98-2 (Interim Open Space District [Otay
Project, LLC-OVP-SPA One, Villages 6 & 7])
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works/y~/
REVIEWED BY: City Manageg~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
McMillin and the Otay Ranch Company are currently processing a lot line adjustment Parcel
Map in order to clearly define their ownership within Villages 2 and 6 of the Otay Ranch. Both
developers have also requested that the City initiate proceedings for adjusting the boundaries of
the existing Community Facilities Districts 98-1 and 98-2 to be consistent with the land swap.
Staff has determined that the proposed changes would not affect the districts' ability to provide
sufficient funding for their operation and maintenance. Best Best and Krieger LLP, the Legal
Counsel retained by the City, has recommended the fo]lowing procedure: 1st) Annexing the land
swapped parcels to the respective district, and 2nd) recording the corresponding notices of special
tax lien cancellation. Tonight, Council would initiate the proceedings by declaring its intention
to annex the land swapped parcels to the respective CFD and setting the public hearing for
December 19, 2000.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
1. Approve the resolution declaring the intention to authorize the annexation of territory to
Community Facilities District No. 98-1,
2. Approve the resolution adopting an annexation map showing property to be annexed to
Community Facilities District 98-1.
3. Approve the resolution declaring the intention to authorize the annexation of territory to
Community Facilities District No. 98-2,
4. Approve the resolution adopting an annexation map showing property to be annexed to
Community Facilities District 98-2.
Page 2, Item
Meeting Date 11/07/00
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
CFDs 98-1 and 98-2 wcrc formed by Council on September 15, 1998. CFI) 98-1 encompasses
all parcels 1)
within Villages 1 West , 2, 2 West, 6 and 7 that are owned by the Otay Ranch
Company (see Exhibit A). CFD 98-2 encompasses all the parcels within Otay Ranch Villages 6
and 7 that are owned by McMillin (see Exhibit A). Both CFDs are considered "interim" districts
and would levy special taxes on vacant land in order to guarantee the maintenance of certain
landscaping improvements. Those improvements are currently being constructed as a requisite
for developing Villages 1 and 5; but the responsibility for their maintenance falls on future Otay
Ranch Villages. "Permanent" maintenance districts would be created with the subsequent
development of these Villages.
McMillin is in the process of developing a portion of Village 6 located with CFD 98-2. In order
to clearly define their ownership within Villages 2 and 6, McMillin and The Otay Ranch
Company are currently pursuing a land swap (see Exhibit B). With the impending land swap,
ownership property lines will change; thus, an adjustment to the boundaries to CFDs 98-1 and
98-2 is needed. The proposed land swap would result in an increase of 3.462 acres to CFD 98-1
and a corresponding decrease of 3.462 acres to CFD 98-2.
CFDs 98-1 and 98-2 are responsible for funding their pro-rata share of maintaining the Poggi
Canyon Channel and the medians and parkways along their respective frontage on Olympic
Parkway. After the land swap, the maintenance responsibilities of CFD 98-1 along the frontage
on Olympic Parkway will increase while the CFD 98-2 responsibilities would be reduced.
Exhibit C presents the changes in the subject districts due to the proposed land swap.
The annexed parcels would be subject to the provisions of the adopted "Rate and Method of
Apportionment" and "Special Tax Report" of the respective CFD. These documents authorize
levying taxes on vacant land at a maximum rate of $103/acre for CFD 98-1 and $47.52/acre for
CFD 98-2. Exhibit C shows that, based upon the approved tax rates, both districts will be able to
provide enough revenues for funding their operation and maintenance. This Exhibit shows a
maximum collectible special tax for CFD 98-1 of $104,953.00 versus a maintenance budget of
$71,797.20. Similarly, the maximum collectible tax for CFD 98-2 is $18,910.11 versus a
maintenance budget of $15,143.80. Please note that both CFDs would have to collect less that
the approved tax rate to meet the estimated funding need.
Resolutions
There are four resolutions in today's agenda which, if adopted will accomplish the following:
o The RESOLUTION DECLARING THE INTENTION TO ANNEX PROPERTY TO
CFD 98-1 will declare Council's intention to authorize the annexation of ten-itory to
Community Facilities District No. 98-1 and will set the public heating for December 19,
2000.
1) On August 1, 2000, Council formed CFD 99-2 to replace CFD 98-1 as the funding mechanism for the
maintenance of the landscaping improvements within Village I West.

District No. 99-2 (Otay Ranch Spa One - Village One West)
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works~
REVIEWED BY: City Manager/~(~J (4/5ths Vote: Yes__ No X )
The Otay Ranch Company has submitted a letter dated September 6, 2000, (Exhibit A)
requesting the City to conduct annexation proceedings for the last remaining out-parcel within
Village One West, Parcels 1 & 2 as indicated on the Future Annexation Exhibit recorded in Book
34 at Page 39 on July 6th, 2000, into the Community Facilities District No. 99-2 (CFD No. 99-2).
(Refer to Exhibit B)
Community Facilities District No. 99-1 (CFD No. 99-1) will be annexing certain territories
within both Villages One West and Village Five. These territories are described as the three (3)
out-parcels (approximately 32 acres) within Village One West and Parcel 35A (17 acres) within
Village Five. (Refer to Exhibit C) Tonight's action is to initiate proceedings to annex certain
territories into the CFD No.'s 99-1 and 99-2. Per the adopted formation proceedings for CFD
Nos's 99-1 and 99-2 completed in June, these summary annexations will not require a public
hearing. The actions tonight will require the consent and waiver from the property owners and
recordation of documents with the County.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
1. Approve the resolution certifying and adding property to Community Facilities District
No. 99-1 (Otay Ranch SPA One - Portion of Villages One & Five and Village One

BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
Page 2, Item
Meeting Date 11/7/00
DISCUSSION:
In mid-1999, the City Council undertook proceedings to form and did form Cormmunity
Facilities District No.'s 99-1. The purpose of CFD No. 99-1 is to fund the construction and/or
acquisition of certain public improvements serving the Otay Ranch SPA One properties. The
financing structure contemplated the sale of two series of bonds to fund the necessary
improvements within Otay Ranch SPA One. Series "A" bonds (23 million) were sold in late
1999, with the next Series "B" bonds anticipated to be issued in early 2001.
The annexations will add approximately 154 residential units into CFD No. 99-1. The 154
residential units will be subject to the special provisions of the adopted Rate and Method of
Apportionment prepared for Community Facilities District No. 99-1. Based upon the adopted
Special Tax Report the annexation areas fall into two (2) of the three Zone categories - Zone B:
Village Five and Zone C: Village One West. Tables 5 & 6 of the Special Tax Report will need
to be revised to reflect the additional units, residential square footage and expected annual tax
revenues. (Revised -Tables 5 & 6 are attached as Exhibits D & E)
In mid-2000, the City Council undertook proceedings to form and did form Community
Facilities District No. 99-2. The purpose of CFD No. 99-2 is to permanently fund the operation
and maintenance of certain landscape improvements within Otay Ranch SPA One - Village One
West, Based on the adopted Special Tax Report, the budget and per unit allocations it appears
that the additional twenty-eight (28) single-family units will generate sufficient tax revenues to
offset the anticipated maintenance costs related to this annexation. The annual special tax rate
(FY 2000-01) for CFD No. 99-2 with the addition of the 28 units will be reduced from the
adopted $.3857/square foot to $.3749/square foot. The revised maximum special tax table is
attached for reference (Exhibit F). The new tax rates will be applied to the FY 2001-02 and be
subject to the provisions Of the RMA for annual increases.
Staff, the legal counsel, and the special tax consultant have reviewed the proposed methodology,
allocation of units, square footage calculations, and consider these annexations ready for council
approval.
Resolutions
Them are two resolutions on today's agenda, which, if adopted, will accomplish the following:

Meeting Date 11/7/00
ITEM TITLE: Resolution Accepting bids and awarding contract for the
"Halecrest Drive Improvements Between Hale Street and Telegraph Canyon
Road, in the City of Chula Vista, CA (STM-342)" Project to Southern
California Underground Contractors, Inc., in the amount of $78,475.00.
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Work~,~/'
REVIEWED BY: City Manager/t~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes __ No X )
At 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 18, 2000, the Director of Public Works received sealed bids for
the "Halecrest Drive Improvements Between Hale Street and Telegraph Canyon Road, in the City of
Chula Vista, CA (STM-342)" Project. This project provides for the construction of four (4)
pedestrian ramps and storm drain improvements at Halecrest Drive between Hale Street and
Telegraph Canyon Road. The work also includes all labor, material, equipment, transportation,
protection of existing improvements and traffic control necessary for the project.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council accept bids and award the contract for the "Halecrest Drive
Improvements Between Hale Street and Telegraph Canyon Road, in the City of Chula Vista, CA
(STM-342)" Project to Southern California Underground Contractors, Inc. in the amount of
$78,475.00.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
General
This project provides for the construction of storm drain improvements and four (4) pedestrian ramps
at Halecrest Drive between Hale Street and Telegraph Canyon Road. According to Title II of the
Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), when streets or highways are newly built or altered,
pedestrian ramps shall be constructed at all intersection adjacent to the construction. Due to the
interchange improvements at 1-805/Telegraph Canyon Road, pedestrian ramps had to be installed at
the intersection of Halecrest Drive and Telegraph Canyon Road. In order to construct a pedesthan
ramp at the northwest comer of the intersection, an existing curb inlet required modification,
reducing the storm water capacity of the curb inlet. By reducing the size of the curb inlet, additional
inlets had to be constructed upstream at the intersection of Halecrest Drive and Hale Street to ensure
proper drainage of the surface streets. The storm drain runoff'outlets into the adjacent Telegraph
Canyon Channel.
Page 2, Item
Meeting Date 11/7/00
The general scope of the project involves the construction of four (4) pedestrian ramps and drainage
facilities which includes two (2) storm drain inlets and construction of 18-inch and 36-inch storm
drain pipes. The work also includes all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, protection of
existing improvements and traffic control necessary for the project and other work necessary to
render the new improvements complete and workable.
Bidding Process
Engineering staffprepared plans and specifications and advertised the project. Staffreceived and
opened bids for the project on October 18, 2000. Bids were received from six (6) contractors to
perform the work as follows (listed in order of base bid amount):
Contractor Base Bid Amount
Southern California Underground Contractors, Inc., Brea, CA $ 78,475.00
MJC Construction, Chula Vista, CA $109,125.00
New Century Construction, [nc., San Diego, CA $114,125.00
E.V. Constructors, Inc., San Diego, CA $119,718.44
Pullman Engineering, Inc., San Diego, CA $122,769.94
Scheidel Contracting & Engineering, Inc., La Mesa, CA $134,375.00
Staffreceived excellent bids for the proposed project. The low bid submitted by Southern California
Underground Contractors, Inc. is below the Engineer's estimate orS112,025.00 by $33,550.00 or
approximately 30.0%. Staff's bid estimate was based on average prices for similar type work
completed during the last three years. The engineer's estimate is slightly below the average of the
second through last bidder by 3.4%. While staffhas seen a recent trend with bids coming in below
the estimate, it is unclear as to the eventual impact on our future construction estimates and
construction costs. Engineering staff checked the references provided by the contractor. All
references were verified and their work has been satisfactory. Their Contractor's License No.
611356 is clear and current. Staff has reviewed the low bid and is recommending awarding the
contract to Southern California Underground Contractors, Inc. of Brea, California, in the amount of
$78,475.00.

REVIEW BY: City Manager ~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes X No )
The City Council recently authorized City staff to enter into discussions with consultants to
conduct a "peer" review of information used by California Transportation Ventures, Inc. (CTV)
in making traffic and revenue projects for the SR-125 Toll Road Facility. Further, the Council
also authorized staff to enter into discussions with a financial consultant to conduct a financially-
based appraisal of the SR-125 Franchise. Smith & Kempton, the City's transportation
consultant, was requested to solicit proposals from qualified consultants to accomplish these
tasks. Smith & Kempton has completed this task and presented its recommendations to staff.
Staff conducted interviews with two respondents for the financial appraisal activity, and the
following recommendations are submitted for the Council's action.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
1. Approve the selection of Vollmer Associates LLP to conduct a "peer" review of
information used by CTV in making traffic and revenue projections for the SR-125
project, authorize the City Manager to negotiate a contract with Vollmer Associates for
this purpose and waive the consultant selection process as impractical.
2. Approve the selection of Infrastructure Management Group, Inc. to conduct a financially-
based appraisal of the SR-125 Franchise, authorize the City Manager to negotiate a

consultant selection process as impractical.
3. Appropriate $200,000 from the Interim SR125 DIF Fund for a new CIP project, STM348
- SR- 125 Franchise Review.
BOARDS/COMMISSION: Not Applicable
DISCUSSION:
On May 2, 2000, the City Council considered a report on the pros and cons of public ownership
of the SR-125 Toll Road and directed staff to spend an adequate effort to investigate the
necessary actions and commitments needed for the City to be involved in a public toll road.
Then, on August 22, 2000, the Council reviewed a report from the firm of Smith and Kempton
which outlined the necessary actions and studies required before considering entering into a JPA
for ownership and operation of the toll road can be made. Copies of both those agenda
statements are attached. Based on those actions it was determined that it would be in the best
interests of the City to proceed with further discussions/negotiations with CTV on acceptable
terms and conditions for a possible transfer of the SR-125 Franchise. To accomplish these
discussions, it was also determined that it would be necessary to conduct an independent review
of information relative to traffic and revenue projections and to conduct an independent financial
appraisal of the SR-125 franchise prior to making a final decision on a possible transfer. Per the
Council's instructions, the City Manager directed Smith & Kempton, the City's transportation
consultants, to solicit proposals from qualified firms to conduct a "peer" review and a financial
appraisal.
The Council was previously advised that there are three top firms in the nation capable of
conducting an investor-grade analysis of traffic and revenue projects for this project. One of
those firms is already under contract with CTV and a second firm has acted as advisor for one of
the teams which submitted a design-build proposal to CTV and, therefore, declined to make a
proposal to the City. Smith & Kempton have recommended the City hire the firm of Vollmer
Associates, the remaining top firm in this area, to conduct the "peer" review. Vollmer is anxious
to perform this review and has submitted a budget of $50,000 for this assignment. Staff concurs
in this recommendation. Attached is a proposed scope of work for Vollmer Associates.
With respect to the appraisal, two well-respected and competent firms responded to the
solicitation. Those firms were Infrastructure Management Group, Inc. of Bethesda, Maryland
and Public Financial Management of Newport Beach, California. Both firms were deemed to be
highly qualified by Smith & Kempton, and interviews were conducted with representatives from
each firm prior to making a decision on a recommendation. The interview team consisted of
George Krempl and Cliff Swanson with Will Kempton and Mark Watts of Smith & Kempton.
References for both firms were also checked and found to be acceptable. Staff recommends that
the City hire the firm of Infrastructure Management Group, Inc. to conduct the financially-based
appraisal of the SR-125 Franchise. The budget for this work is estimated at $130,000.
Attached is a proposed scope of work for Infrastructure Management Group, Inc.
Page 3, Item __
Meeting Date 11/7/00
While Infrastructure Management Group, Inc. is being recommended for the appraisal work,
Public Financial Management was also highly qualified. If we move forward to the next phase
we will need financial advisory assistance and Public Financial Management would be well
qualified and competent to perform that service.
Waiver of Consultant Selection Process
Staff recommends that Vollmer Associates and Infrastructure Management Group, Inc. be
engaged to do this work without soliciting alternative bids in accordance with the City's standard
consultant selection process. As indicated above, there are a limited number of nationally
recognized experts in these areas, only one firm was available for the traffic analysis, staff
interviewed the two firms competent to do the appraisal work, the firms selected are uniquely
qualified, and them is a need to proceed in a timely manner. Under these circumstances it would
be impractical to solicit alternative bid proposals, and staff recommends that the consultant
selection process be waived.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Total cost for these additional studies and services should not exceed $200,000. The funding
source for this work will be the Interim SR-125 DIF, fund number 592. In order to cover the cost
of these contracts and related staff costs, Council needs to appropriate $200,000 to new CIP
project number STM348 - SR-125 Franchise Review.

ITEM TITLE: Report on Additional Information Regarding Options for SR-125
Implementation
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works
REVIEWED BY: City Manager ~/¢~" (4/5tbs Vote: __ No ~X )
At the meeting of April 18, 2000, Council considered a report on the pros and cons of public
ownership of Toll Road SR-125 by Smith and Kempton, governmental relations consultants.
Council directed staff to come back as soon as possible with a more comprehensive report on
issues and the possible JPA.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council accept the report and direct staff to spend an adequate
effort to investigate the necessary actions and commitments needed for the City to be involved in
a public Toll Road.
BOARDS/COMMISSION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The construction of SR-125 is absolutely necessary for the orderly development of Chula Vista
and the South Bay. Chula Vista has supported and worked with California Transportation
Ventures (CTV) for 10 years to site and build a Toll Road in the SR-125 Corridor. The reason
that Council has supported a private Toll road is because funding was not available for the
foreseeable future to build a freeway. Even though a Toll Road was not preferred, a Toll Road
was superior to no road.
It is expected that the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) will sign the Record of
Decision (ROD) this first week of May. That action in essence will allow the project to begin
the design and property acquisition phase and allow CTV to finalize financing for the projecL
As was mentioned in the last report, CTV has expressed an interest in converting this project to a
public project if private financing proves to not be feasible.
Council raised several concerns at the meeting of April 18,2000 in response to that report. Issues
raised included:
,, How will the City and General Fund be protected if a JPA is created?
Is legislation necessary to form a JPA and how long would it take?
How would the financial advisor be selected?
What are issues involving financing?
What type of liability is the City exposed to?
o Am them more disadvantages than mentioned in the previous report?
II
Page 2, Item / ~
Meeting Date 5/2/00
Most of the above concerns will need a concerted effort taking considerable time to develop a
full response. They are the exact issues that staff and consultants would address before making a
final recommendation to Council on other options to a private Toll Road. Staff wants to assure
Council that until a decision is made to pursue a public road, the City will experience no cost to
the general fund. The city will also not receive any liability or risk while examining these issues.
There will be some staff and consultant costs involved, that can properly be charged to non-
general fund accounts.
Attached as Exhibit 1 is the updat&d report by Smith and Kempton. Exhibit 2 is the original
report by Smith and Kempton submitted at the meeting of April 18,2000. Will Kempton will be
at the meeting to answer questions of the Council. Exhibit 3 is a letter from CTV requesting the
City to investigate alternate financing.
FISCAL IMPACT: At this point the only fiscal impact may be consultant costs, that can be
included in an existing contract with Smith and Kempton.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mr. David Rowlands, City Manager
City of Chula Vista
From: Wit] Kempton and Mark Watts
Date: April 26, 2000
Subject: Additional Information Regarding Options for SR 125 Implementation
Following the Council's consideration of the question as to whether it makes sense to explore
potential options for implementing the SR 125 toll facility, you asked us to expand our previous
report to include some of the downside impacts of the City's possible involvement in an
altemative financing/operating arrangement for the toll road. First, we want to reiterate that the
Council is not being asked at this time to decide on an alternative approach to implementing the
SR i25 facility. We do believe it is prudent for the City to investigate other alternatives should
private financing delay the project significantly or the City discovers that the needs of the public
are better met through other financing mechanisms.
The recommendation to examine other alternatives is based on the undeniable premise that
construction of SR 125 is extremely important to the economic vitality of the City of Chula Vista
and will have significant positive impacts on traffic circulation within and through the City.
Recognizing the importance to the City of early completion of this facility, we are recommending
that the Council authorize an exploratory review of alternatives to project implementation which
might be acceptable in the event that the current franchisee cannot proceed or runs into
substantial delays in moving forward on this project. It is also possible that an alternative
approach may provide more benefits to the City and its residents, a potential we want to fully
explore.
We stress that the objective here is to examine various alternatives and to more explicitly
determine the pros and cons of a potential public structure for financing and/or operating a SR
t25 facility. We are not asking the Council to comm/t to an altemative structure, but to authorize
an exploratory review of possible options.
Our previous memorandum outlined some of the benefits which might accrue under a public
structure. Obviously, there are also potential drawbacks to a larger public role. Among these
drawbacks is the potential for the political perception that govemment is assisting the private
sector. Depending on the structure of any financing package, there would be a financial risk to

any involved public agencies which doesn't exist today. Another significant negative to
increased involvement has to do with the inherent liability exposure which would come with a
direct role in the project. Maintenance and reconstruction responsibilities could also increase
that financial exposure; however, in Orange County, the public agencies involved in the toll
corridors there obtained legislative relief assigning those responsibilities to Caltrans. In short,
there are potential drawbacks to a larger City role in this project. However, some of the benefits
we outlined in our memorandum would offset some of these risks. Public ownership through a
Joint Powers Agreement, for example, may mitigate the City's direct liability for some of the
issues discussed above.
Given the timeline we are looking at for project implementation, we believe that now is the time
to explore all prudent alternatives for getting this facility in place. As we anxiously await a
Record of Decision from the Federal Highway Administration, CTV is gearing up to put a
financing package together to begin construction of the toll road. At this point, CTV is looking
at two basic options: financing through the private market place, and a possible tax exempt
financing through creation of a 501(c)(3) organization and a transfer of ownership to the non-
profit corporation.
If CTV is successful in obtaining financing, and construction can move forward quickly, there
may be other benefits (earlier retirement of debt, public control of toll rates, etc.) that suggest a
larger role for the City in any event. We are not advocating for that expanded role at this time.
We are simply suggesting that the City take a more in depth look at alternative financing and
operating structures in parallel with CTV's efforts to pursue financial backing.
What we are talking about hem is an exploratory effort. We have no preconceived perspectives
on this subject and no predetermined solutions to recommend at this time. However, in the event
that CTV does have difficulty in the financial markets, or if we are looking at undue delay for
any number of masons, it makes perfect sense that the City would be prepared to at least consider
other options for getting this facility in operation.
For its part, CTV has indicated a willingness to look at a public financial and/or operating
arrangement to bring this project to conclusion should the City determine that it is in its best
interest to participate in such an arrangement. CTV fully intends to pursue private financing or a
tax-exempt strategy as outlined above. However, the organization is willing to consider other
options as well, and the Council received a letter from CTV on this subject prior to the last
Council meeting. The review that we are proposing will be conducted at no additional expense
to the City as the cost will be covered under our existing contract. Given the importance of this
project to the City of Chula Vista, we think it is in the Council's best interest to at least look at
other options for project implementation.

Subject. Pros and Cons of Public Financing of SR 125
You have requested that we prepare this document to examine the arguments for and
against the public financing of the SR 125 Toil Facility, As we have recenUy learned~ the
present franchise holder for the right to construct and operate the SR 125 Toll Road,
California Transportation Ventures, 1;nc. (CIA/), has indicated that they are considering
the possibility of selling their interest in the franchise. Moreover, they have already
initiated an exploratory effort to seek prospective buyers, including potential non-profit,
public benefit corporations and public entities.
With this development, it is important for the City Council to review and understand the
merits of possible public ownership and to further consider the potential of the
participation of the City in such a venture.
BACKGROUND
SR 125 is a ten-mile, four lane (ultimately 10 lane) facility that is intended to connect
1-905 in Otay Mesa with SR 154. The project is being developed under the auspices of
the private developer, CTV, who was awarded a franchise by Caltrans in a statewide
competitive bid process. Legislation approved in 1989 (AB 680) authorized Caltrans to
un~lertake a public-private demonstration program to explore the receptivity of the
private sector to invest in California infrastructure. Four projects were authorized under
the enabling legislation, producing franchises around the state: (1) SR gl Express Lanes
in Orange County, (2) Mid-State Toll Way in Contra Costa County, (3) SR 57 Toll Facility
in Orange County and (4) the SR 125. Of these four projects, only the SR 91 Express
Lanes project has become operational, with a start date of 1995.
- SR 125 is on-line to become the second project to move into the financing, design,
construction and operational phases. The environmental clearance process is nearing

completion with a Record of Decision (ROD) for the NEPA document anUcipated to be
approved shortly by the federal government. This was preceded by State approval of
the CEQA document and formal adoption of the highway route.
In the normal sequence for highway/toll .way development, the developers would next
begin to pursue financing, design, and construction of the project. With the ROD in
hand, CTV is expected to issue RFO.'s for potential design-build contracts. However, at
this juncture the principals are considering selling their interests in the franchise. It is
our view that in addition to responding to re-focusing of priorities by the parent
companies, CTV also sees at least two other advantages to a potential this policy shift
at this time: (1) C1'V has spent about ten years and considerable funds to bring the
franchise to this point and a sale at this time would allow them the maximum
opportunity to capture the investment to date; and (2) transfer to a public benefit
corporation or public entity would result in less expensive financing, as will be ouUined
below.
One recent development with respect to one of the other AB 680 "demonstration"
projects (the SR 91 Express Lanes) has important ramifications for the Council to
consider. The holders of the SR 91 franchise, forming California Private Transportation
Company, after becoming operational, de[ermined that they wanted to off-load their
interest in the franchise and to re-coup their investment and opportunity costs of lost
future profits. In their case, the approach they chose was to transfer their interests to a
non-profit, public benefit corporation called Newtrac. They were able to obtain Caltrans
approval of the transfer of interest, but as they attempted to finance the exchange,
both the public entities involved and the bond market alike raised significant questions
about the propriety and the viability, respectively, of the project. The resulting
controversy, which drew in the Davis Administration, the Legislature, and the Counties
of Riverside and Orange, became so intense that the CPTC withdrew their offer to sell
and are presently considering their alternatives.
This controversy is fresh in the minds of the Davis Administration and the Legislature,
and it is our belief that a transfer to any entity other than a public entity will raise
considerable alarm and opposition.
CONSIDERATION OF= pUBLiC FINANC.[NG OF SR 12~
Financing
~ Tax-exempt bonding= California state law authorizes governmental entities to
voluntary exercise their existing powers jointly. Tn doing so the law expressly
declares that such joint powers agencies may issue "tax exempt" bonds to
finance capital costs for building projects. The advantage of this to a public entity
is that the issuer's costs for debt service and related reserves and sinking funds
are less costly, resulting in more flexibility for the public entity. For example, the
APR-14-OQ 15:08 FROM- T-688 P 04/DS F-gDg
entity can choose to reduce the redemption period, financing the bonds over 20
years, rather than 30 years. Or, the entity can reduce the costs, in this case, the
tolls, that comprise the revenue stream for redemption purposes,
In contrast, transfer of the franchise contemplated by CTV to another private
entity would bear the relaUvely higher burden of non-exempt, taxable bonds.
However, there is a special potential mitigating circumstance in this instance, in
that CTV has secured a specific federal authorization qualifying them to access a
new federal innovative financing program CTIFiA), which offers a line of credit at
reduced rates.
Property Taxest Because the projects authorized under the AB 680
demonstraUon program are private improvements on land that is leased from the
state, they are subject to a possessory interest tax, which is "in-lieu" of the local
property tax. According to Caltrans staff, the County of Orange collects in excess
of $1 million annually for the SR 91 project, and based on the costs for the
improvements to SR 125 will result in taxes on the order of the $3 million.
In contrast, a public entity would be able to construct and operate the SR 125
facility without this "property tax" burden, resulting in a significant cost burden
being lifted of the total costs financed by tolls. Califomia joint powers law
expressly exempts joint powers authorities from property taxes.
> State participation: One source of potential assistance in reducing the cost
burden for this project would be a grant of state funds. It is well established that
the state is experiencing explosive revenue growth and a legitimate public
purpose could be justified in providing direct funding assistance in the form of a
grant because it would reduce the cost to the general public users of the facility.
However, as discussed above, we believe that the SR 91 project has "poisoned
the well" in the near term for state involvement or assistance for AB 680 projects
in general.
It is not clear that this same level of resistance would exist for a project that has
been taken over by a public entity. At the very least, a good case can be made,
in the event that SR 125 is transferred to a public entity, that this facility should
enjoy the same level of state benefits that are involved in the three toll roads
operated by the Transportation Corridor Agencies in Orange County. These roads
are operated by a legislatively authorized joint powers agency and the enabling
legislation expressly provided that the state would assume the responsibility for
costs of maintenance and policing. Clearly this is not a direct benefit that would
flow to a public entity, but this would be an achievable task that would benefit
the project by reducing maintenance and policing costs on an ongoing basis.
APR-14-00 15:D8 FROM- T-$88 F05/06 F-g08
Governance
> Local Control: Any operator of a toll road facility in California, public or private,
will be subject to intense public scrutiny simply due to the unique nature of the
facility in contrast to California's long-standing involvement with toll*free
freeways, establishing a public entity to control and operate SR 125 will ensure
that the users and the traveling public will have a high degree of responsiveness
to issues of operational flexibility and quality of the toll road experience.
This is not to say that a private operator would not be as responsive, just that
the public entity would have a project that is not perceived to be motivated by
the "bottom-line" only, and the pubic would view local officials as having a
stronger interest in being responsive.
Limited city obligation: One benefit to California joint powers law is that it
contains a bar on obligating the "parent" local government ageno/from
obligations that the joint agency are committed to. This would free the city to
participate in a public acquisition of the SR 125 facility without concern that the
City would be somehow "underwriting" the acquisition. Thus the cio can
consider the relative merits of public acquisition, whether as participants or not,
without concern that their decisions would obligate the city to a burden that is
too costly.
POLTCY CONTROL
Toll rates: The most probable scenario for a public acquisition of the SR 12S
facility would involve the sale of bonds to purchase the franchise rights and the
financing of the design, construction and initial start-up costs of the toll facility.
The bonds would be paid by the revenue stream from the tolls that would be
imposed. However, as we have seen above, there are several aspects of public
ownership that are beneficial in that they significantly reduce the costs to
operate the facility, and, thus, in the absence of a profit motive, can require tolls
at a lesser rate than would otherwise be required. A locally established public
agency would be in a position to control the toll rates in a manner that is more
responsive to local public interest.
Term of Franchise: The franchise term granted under AB 680 for each of the
four franchises is 35 years from the start of operations. Under private ownership,
the franchise holder will be responsible to bond holders and corporate parents to
maximize the return on investment for the maximum allowable period. In
contrast, a public agency will have the opportunity to negotiate a term less than
the fully allowable 35 years, if it is financially sound. This would provide a
APR-14-{)O 15:0g FRO~ T-SBB P OS/OS F-gng
tangible benefit to local residents and toll users to enjoy the benefit of SR :125
flee of tolls at an earlier time than would otherwise be possible.
DISCUSSION
The benefit to the City of the advancement of SR 125 as a result of the flexibility
granted under AB 680 cannot be understated. If required to rely on pre-existing state
and local resources, without the involvement of the private sector, local residents would
not be on the verge of receiving the transportation benefit of SR 125 for another
decade or more. Nevertheless, given that the current franchise holders have
determined to explore the possibilities of transferring their interest to a willing buyer, if
available, the question arises as to whether the public agencies can organize
themselves to offer to acquire the franchise rights and whether this is of benefit to the
City and local residents.
Clearly, there are major benefits to public acquisition of the franchise and facility,
principally in the ability of public agencies to access cheaper financing. This in turn
allows a public agency to turn the reduced costs into a local benefit by possibly offering
access to the facility at reduced rates or freeing up the facility from tolls at an earlier
point in time, both policy considerations not available under private control.

FAX 619.,338~123 Dear Mayor Horton:
We have received and reviewed the Memorandum dated Apdl '14, 2000, from
Smith & Kempton to the City of Chula Vista, explaining the benefits to the City of
acquisition of the SR 125 South Project Franchise. We thank you for the
opportunity to review this document, which was sent to us at the request of the
City Manager and which we understand will be presented to the City Council on
Apd118.
As you are aware, Califomia Transportation Ventures Inc. (CTV) currently owns
the SR 125 South Franchise and is planning to finance the project through
privately placed financing. Our current schedule calls for close of financing in the
fall of this year, and construction commencing in late 2000 or eady 2001. VVith
the aid of the recently awarded Federal TIFIA loan and related credit
enhancements, the prospects for expediently moving forward look highly
promising.
The support of the City of Chula Vista throughout the planning, development, and
environmental clearance stages of the SR 125 Project has been exemplary, and
we appreciate the continuing efforts that you and your staff have maintained to
assure that the project moves forward. The project development process to date
has been an exercise of creative public-private partnership of which we can both
be proud. To our mutual credit, the project was touted at the Amedcan Road and
Transportation Builders (ARTBA) annual meeting in November '1999 as one of
the two best examples of cooperation between local government and the private
sector currently underway in the United States.
We appreciate and understand the City's potential interest in acquiring the
Franchise as we jointly move forward with implementation of the project. As you
know, CTV has carded forward a public financing option as a complement to the
pdvate financing structure to preserve our options at the time of project financing.
A tax-exempt public financing structure could provide additional benefits to the
traveling public by potentially Iowedng toll rates or allowing eadier retirement of
project debt. While our nominal public finance option has assumed the common
approach of utilizing a not-for-profit structure as a conduit for tax-exempt ,.---
financing, we have also considered the possible acquisition of the Franchise by
an existing government or special-purpose joint powers authority.
Should the public financing option prove to be a more viable financing structure
than the nominal pdvate structure, CTV will be amenable to receiving an
appropriate indication of interest or offer for purchase from the City. We
recognize that a partnership with the City of Chula Vista or City-sponsored JPA
could provide substantial positive benefits for both the City and C'IV. Thus, while
we are continuing to pursue the pdvate financing structure, we will commit our full
cooperation to the City and/or its appointed agents in working toward the
development of a viable public ownership structure upon confirmation by the City
of its interest in purchasing the Franchise.
To consider a public ownership and financing option, a number of factors will, of
course, be important to CTV. These factors include, at a minimum (1) overall
monetary value of the Franchise at the time of transfer; (2) contractual
arrangements with C'IV and its parent organizations to continue project
development and undertake construction management and project operations;
' and (3) the timing and structure of payments for acquisition and development.
CTV is willing to entertain an indication of interest or offer from the City that
provides benefits commensurate with the value of the Franchise, and we are
willing to enter good-faith negotiations with the City and/or its agents to reach this
_. goal.
We look forward to receiving a communication or initial offer from the City, and
we reiterate our commitment to seek a financing structure that is mutually
beneficial to the City and to Califomia Transportation Ventures, and ultimately to
the users of SR 125.

ITEM TITLE: Resolution /,Oc ~ Directing the City Manager to conduct further
analysis regarding the purchase of the SR-125 Toll Road Franchise
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works
REVIEWED BY: City Manager'~f''~'d (4/Sths Vote: Yes__ No X )
The City of Chula Vista has retained the firm of Smith and Kempton to assist the City in efforts
to assure that SR-125 is constructed in a timely manner. This facility is a crucial transportation
element to serve the new developments in Eastern Chula Vista and the entire eastern South Bay
of San Diego County. At the Council meeting of May 2, 2000 Council directed staff to
investigate the necessary actions and commitments needed for the City to be involved in a Public
Toll Road. The attached report from Smith and Kempton outlines the necessary actions and
studies required before considering entering into a JPA for ownership and Operation of the Toll
Road can be made.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
1. Proceed with further discussions/negotiations with CTV on acceptable term and
conditions for a transfer of the SR-125 Franchise.
2. Request CTV to make available all data and information necessary for a full "peer"
review subject
3. Authorize the City Manager to use appropriate funds to hire consultant resources to
review traffic and revenue forecasts, to conduct a financial appraisal and to retain outside
legal resources when necessary.
4. Enter into discussions with consultants to conduct a "peer" review of information used by
CTV in making traffic and revenue projections for this project.
5. Enter into discussions with a financial consultant to conduct a financially based appraisal.
6. Engage outside legal counsel, when necessary, to advise the City on legal issues related
to a public buyout.
7. Enter into discussions with SANDAG, the County of San Diego and other appropriate
jurisdictions regarding potential creation of Joint Powers Authority.
8. Meet with the City's legislative delegation to discuss options and to gain support for the t~'~
City's objectives.

BOARDS/COMMISSION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
Smith and Kempton have completed their analysis to determine if the City should take further
actions to acquire the Franchise from California Transportation Ventures (CTV) for the SR-125
Tollway. Their report is attached. Due to the many issues raised in the report staff believes it
crucial for the City to retain the necessary expert Consultants as recommended in the report. SR-
125 will be a very expensive facility which will need bonded indebtedness for 30 years. The sole
source of revenues to service the debt will come from the Tolls. It is hoped that if it becomes a
Public Tollway, more grants and assistance from the State and SANDAG will be forthcoming
which will shorted the length of time the facility would have to charge tolls.
As mentioned in the attached report further analysis is needed by firms having expertise in areas
not provided by Smith and Kempton. The expertise needed includes:
An independent review of the proposed revenues that would be generated by the Tolls.
In order to determine the toll revenues, a traffic volume study needs to be performed in
order to project toll revenues. Wilber Smith and Associates did this analysis for CTV;
however, the City needs a review of those results by a firm representing the City. There
are only 3 firms in the nation that are considered capable of conducting an investor grade
product. Wilber Smith was one of those firms. The City should contract with one of the
other two firms. This study will determine the financial strength of the project.
~, The City needs a financial based appraisal of the value of the Franchise. CTV has made
an initial offer. The City needs to have a good understanding of the value of the
Franchise in order to enter into negotiations for it's purchase..
Finally if the City decides to seriously enter into negotiations to purchase the Franchise,
Smith and Kempton believe that we may need legislation to assist us in delivering the
project.

FISCAL IMPACT:
At this point a funding source and total cost for these additional studies and services are not
known. Staff believes that costs could range between $400,000 and $500,000. If the Interim
SR-125DlF is amended then these funds could be used for this purpose. Any contracts with
consultants will need Council approval. When staff returns for contract approval, a funding
source for those contracts will be recommended. Staff will also be preparing material and setting
a Public heating to modify the Interim SR-125.

Ownership Options 4.. ·
State Route 125 South Toll Facility
Chula Vista, California
Introduction
The SR 125 South project is a proposed new highway that will provide critical north-south
transportation capacity to southern San Diego County thereby relieving existing and futura
congestion on city streets and arterials and on 1-805 while serving the rapidly growing eastern
territories of the City of Chula Vista. Eastem Chula Vista represents the largest tract of land
available in the San Diego region for residential development, and accessibility to the eastern
area is a critical factor in sustaining the City's economic vitality. In addition, the City strongly
supports the location of a University of California in Chula Vista, and will need transportation
facilities in place to serve the campus. Without adequate north-south access serving this area, the
City's economic development and its long-term planning objectives will be severely impaired.
The current estimated cost of the SR 125 South project is approximately $490 million. About
$125 million of this cost is being paid with public funding through the Transnet program
administered by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). This money will be
applied to the northern 1.5-mile segment and the interchange with SR 54. The remaining 9.5
miles of roadway is currently planned to be constructed and operated as a privatized toll road
under a franchise agreement between a private consortium and Caltrans, the State Department of
Transportation. Environmental studies for the project were completed in 1999 and the Record of
Decision approving the project was issued by FHWA in June of this year. The anticipated
opening date for SR 125 is late-2003.
California Transportation Ventures Inc. (CTV), the private consortium holding the franchise
agreement for development of the SR 125 South project, is proceeding with selection of a
"design-build" contractor and plans to seek financing for the project later this year or early next
year. CTV is looking at two options for ownership of the toll facility, including private
ownership/control and ownership by a not-for-profit corporation. The primary benefit of a not-
for-profit ownership structure is the access to lower cost, tax-exempt financing for the project.
At this time, both ownership options are being considered.
A third option has recently surfaced whereby the City (or a joint powers arrangement with other
jurisdictions) would purchase the franchise agreement from CTV. At the request of the City,
CTV confirmed its willingness to consider a proposal from the City to purchase or invest in the
Franchise, and June 6, 2000, CTV submitted an Indicative Term Sheet to the City which outlined
terms and conditions for the sale or transfer of the SR 125 Franchise to the City or a Joint Powers
Authority.
The purpose of this preliminary review is to determine whether the City should proceed with a
-. more in-depth examination of pursuing a public ownership, or participation in a tax-exempt
financing of the SR 125 South Franchise. A mom detailed investigation, if authorized by the
City Council, would involve a peer-level review of traffic and revenue forecasts for the SR 125
toll facility and a financial appraisal to determine a reasonable value range for the existing
franchise. This information will be necessary prior to final consideration of a public purchase
option so the council can make a fully informed decision before pursuing this matter further.
Conclusions
Information included in this repor~ was obtained from a variety of soumes, including data
provided by CTV. To gain access to this information, Smith & Kempton signed a non-disclosure
agreement with the franchisee. While we have reviewed CTV's current financial plan, and our
conclusions reflect that review, we must respect the confidentiality of this information.
Based on our preliminary review of the facts and circumstances associated with the SR 125
South Toll Road and considering the City's desire to complete the facility as soon as possible, w~e
believe that further examination of a public ownership option is warranted. We base this
conclusion on our assessment of the viability of a public buy-out of the existing franchise and the
public benefits which could accrue from such an arrangement. We also have concluded that
conducting further analysis now may offer the most expeditious means of completing the SR 125
project in the event CTV is unable to proceed in a timely manner with project construction for
whatever mason. It is our further conclusion that the current Indicative Term Sheet presented by
CTV does not include the appropriate terms and conditions which would be necessary for City
acceptance of this offer. It should be noted, however, that CTV has expressed a willingness to
consider adjustments to the terms and conditions contained in their June 6th communication.
Recommendations
If the City Council determines that the benefits of public ownership, i.e., greater control over
operation of the project, the lower cost of financing of construction resulting in the possible
reduction in toll charges to the public both with respect to toll amounts and the length of time
tolls are in effect, and possibly the earlier completion of SR 125, are in the City's best interest, a
public ownership option should be analyzed in greater detail. Accordingly, we make the
following recommendations:
o Proceed with further discussions/negotiations with CTV on acceptable terms and conditions
for a transfer of the SR 125 Franchise.
· Request CTV to make available all data and information necessary for a full "peer" review
subject to assurances of confidentiality in accordance with State Law.
· Authorize the City Manager to use appropriate funds to hire consultant resources to review
traffic and revenue forecasts, to conduct a financial appraisal and to retain outside legal
resources when necessary.
· Enter into discussions with consultants to conduct a "peer" review of information used by
CTV in making traffic and revenue projections for this project.
2
· Enter into discussions with consultants to serve the City as financial advisor and to assist the
City in selecting appropriate aappraiser resources.
· Engage outside legal counsel, when necessary, to review the terms of any deal and to advise
the City on legal issues related to a public buy-out.
· Enter into discussions with SANDAG, the County of San Diego and other appropriate
jurisdictions regarding potential creation of Joint Powers Authority.
· Meet with the City's legislative delegation to discuss options and to gain support for the
City's objectives.
· Meet with Administration officials to brief them on the City's decision to examine posible
public ownership.

Background
The SR 125 South project involves eleven miles of new t~ighway facility in southern San Diego
County. The proposed highway has been an integral part of the Regional Transportation Plan for
San Diego County since 1984. It will relieve existing and growing congestion on local arterials
and help maintain LOS required by City ordinance. It will provide regional transportation
service to the rapidly growing areas of eastern Chula Vista and the Otay Mesa community within
the County and City of San Diego. In conjunction with the planned extension of SR 905, this
roadway will also help serve the extensive industrial development on both sides of the
intemational border with Mexico. According to Caltrans and the San Diego Association of
Governments, there are no other major transportation infrastructure projects planned for the
transportation system in the Southbay region of San Diego County that will provide adequate
north-south capacity to serve the current and future planned land use development.
The southern 9.5-mile segment of the project is being developed as a privatized tollway by
California Transportation Ventures Inc. CTV is the private consortium granted a franchise by the
State of California to design, construct and operate the SR 125 facility pursuant to AB 680,
legislation adopted in 1989. CTV was formed in 1990 to develop and operate the SR 125 South
Roll Road, and is the managing partner of the San Diego Expressway Limited Partnership
(SDELP). CTV is a corporation organized under the General Corporation Law of California, and
SDELP is a California Limited Partnership. For purposes of this report, we will refer to CTV
and SDELP intemhangeably.
Under the terms of AB 680, CTV was one of four consortiums awarded the right by the State of
California to develop a toll road within the State. The major players in the CTV consortium
include Parsons Brinckerhoff, a large transportation engineering firm, and Egis Projects, a French
company specializing in the financing, design, construction and operation of tollways. On
January 6, 1991, a Development Franchise Agreement for a Privatized Transportation Project
was executed between CTV and Caltrans. The franchise agreement gives CTV the exclusive
rights to develop, finance, design, construct, lease and operate the SR 125 Tollway. In August of
1992, the Development Franchise Agreement was assigned to SDELP.
In December of 1992, CTV and Caltrans executed an agreement for Caltrans to perform
environmental studies using engineering information developed by CTV. A Draft
Environmental Impact Report/Statement was circulated in July of 1996 and a public hearing was
held later that summer. In 1998, a new endangered species, the Quino Checkerspot Butterfly,
was discovered in the project right-of-way. This discovery prompted the preparation of a
supplemental environmental document, which was circulated in April of 1999. The Final
Environmental Impact Report/Statement was issued in February of this year. Final
environmental approval under State law came later that month, along with route adoption by the
California Transportation Commission. A Federal Record of Decision was signed in June. The
project is currently facing litigation filed on behalf of Preserve South Bay, a local community
group opposed to the highway.
Pursuant to an amendment to the franchise dated September 27, 1997, the franchise was extended
to include construction of the publicly funded portions of the highway known as the "Gap" and
the "Connector." The "Connector" is the 2-mile northerly segment of SR 125 South and
interchange between SR 125 South and SR 54, and the Gap is the main line portion of SR 54
through that interchange. SANDAG has agreed to reimburse SDELP for the costs of designing
and constructing these portions of the project.
One other significant feature of the SR 125 project involves Federal credit enhancement which
has been provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation. In September of 1999, the project
was awarded $127 million in credit enhancement under the Transportation Infrastructure Finance
and Innovation Act (TIFIA) program. This program was established in part to promote private
investment in transportation projects. The credit enhancement is in the form of a $94 million
direct loan and a ten-year $33 million line of credit. SR 125 was one of five projects selected
nationwide for credit support under this program, and the award should be a very positive factor
in attempting to gain financing for the tollway.
CTV is in the process of selecting a "design-build" contractor. Requests for qualifications were
distributed in May of 1999, and proposals, including lump sum prices for design and construction
are due on September 15, 2000. The finalists in this process are well-established, experienced
contractors, including Miramar Constructors (Modem Continental Construction, C.C. Meyers,
Roadway Construction) with URS Greiner Woodward Clyde; The Washington Group (formerly
4
Morrison-Knudsen) with Erreca, Carter & Burgess, and AGRA; and Otay Transportation
Constructors (Granite Construction Co. and FCI Constructors).
The next step in the process for CTV will be to secure financing for the project. Traffic and
revenue projections are currently being updated by Wilbur Smith and Associates, the
transportation planning and engineering firm hired by CTV to develop these projections. CTV
intends to seek financing for the project by year's end.
In concluding this background discussion, it is important to recognize the politics of toll roads in
California. What has happened on the SR 91 toll facility in Orange County and the ongoing
controversy and litigation surrounding that project will have a marked impact on any attempts to
accomplish a public ownership of the SR 125 franchise. The Governor's remarks when he
eliminated the allocation earmarked for public acquisition of the toll facility indicated his
opposition to the use of state funds for this purpose. If the City decides to pursue public
ownership of the SR 125 facility, it will be absolutely imperative that we work with the State
Administration and our local legislation delegation to gain support for the concept of helping the
City not the private developer.
Current Financial Plan
The project financing structure proposed for the SR 125 tollway is similar to many other toll road
projects that have been financed in the past decade, including the San Joaquin and Foothill
Eastern Roads in Orange County. Essentially, a combination of bonds, equity investment and
earned interest will provide the financing base for the project.
The SR 125 Preliminary Financial Plan prepared by Salomon Smith Barney (SSB) delineates the
ownership options which are being considered. Both ownership/control by the sponsor and
ownership by a not-for-profit corporation are being considered at this time. The obvious reason
that a not-for-profit structure is being looked at is to allow access to the lower cost, tax-exempt
financial market. It is expected that the final decision on this issue will be made at least three
months prior to anticipated financial closing. The SSB report also indicates that the not-for-
profit approach can also be considered later as an "exit strategy" for the sponsors, after the
opening of the project to traffic: the Project can initially be financed with taxable debt and
equity, and if performance is sub-par, then the sponsors can sell the Project to a not-for-profit
corporation.
The financing pi'an being proposed by SSB is similar whether the sponsors retain
ownership/control or ownership is through a not-for-profit corporation. The plan would involve
selling a reasonable quality of debt consistent with requirements to obtain TII~IA enhancements,
and to issue subordinated debt to ensure full utilization of the TIFIA credits. Any remaining
costs would be funded with additional equity under the for-profit approach or a sponsor
contribution repaid through additional subordinated debt under the not-for-profit approach.
5
1
The underlying assumptions that led SSB to recommend this structure are reliant on a number of
very basic credit factors, some of which bear additional examination from the City's perspective.
These factors are extracted directly from the SSB Preliminary Financing Plan.
1. Lien on all project revenues (primarily tolls) and debt and operating reserves and a
trust deed based on interest in land and improvements;
2. Funding of previously-incurred development costs by CTV and affiliates;
3. Covenants imposing obligation on owner-operator to set tolls at a level to cover debt;
and,
4. Pledge of project contracts relating to a.) Turnkey civil design-build contract,
b.) Turnkey toll collection contract, c.) Operation and maintenance agreement,
d.) Franchise agreement with Caltrans signed under provisions of AB 680.
Although these factors are consistent with the types of investor assurances required in other toll
road projects financed in the recent past, the City may question the need to tie themselves to pre-
existing contracts as set forth in #4 above.
Under a tax-exempt financing alternative, CTV/SDELP would sell their interest in the franchise
and other development activities to the City or a JPA specially established to own the project.
The sale price would be a negotiated value that is not greater than the fair market value of the
sponsor's interests, determined through a fair market value appraisal. A portion of the sale price
would probably have to be paid in cash and could be financed with tax-exempt debt. The
sponsors could take the remaining amount through a subordinated, tax-exempt note with interest
to be paid at a market rate. SSB's preliminary financing plan shows that the sponsors out of
pocket development costs is paid in cash, and the remainder of the purchase price taken as a
subordinated note.
Analysis of assumptions
Our review of the SR 125 South project is necessarily limited to the preliminary materials made
available by the developers. While it is our view that the accuracy and validity of the estimates
and projections inherent in support of the following major factors can only be determined by
peer-level analysis, we have reviewed the available material and offer our comments.
Growth and development: We find that the developer has undertaken a traditional
approach consistent with the funding and financing of other similar toll-financed facilities
constructed throughout the world.
More specifically, the marketability of the SR 125 South Tollway bond issue is highly
dependent on the developer demonstrating that this project will generate revenues in
amounts sufficient to attract investors. For this and other similar projects, this task
traditionally has been accomplished by engaging expert consultants to prepare projections
of anticipated growth rates of population, economic activity and traffic demand in a given
market area (Primary Market Area - PMA). CTV has engaged Wilbur Smith Associates
6
.... (WSA) for this activity, and WSA prepared an interim report in 1998 that they are
currently updating as CTV prepares to take this project forward to financing.
Our firm was afforded the opportunity to review the SR 125 South Tollway Traffic and
Revenue Forecast prepared by WSA. Inasmuch as our work product serves as a
preliminary review for the benefit of the City Council, and to respect the needs of the
developer to preserve their proprietary interests, our review was undertaken under a
confidentiality agreement b. etween Smith & Kempton and CTV. Consistent with this
agreement, without divulging specific findings or projections, we have reviewed the
document and are permitted to offer observations that are relevant to the task at hand.
First, it is consistent with industry practice for the traffic and revenue forecasting
consultant to utilize planning models and inputs developed by the local regional
transportation planning agency, in this case, SANDAG. It appears that initial work by
WSA was based on SANDAG's so-called "Series 8" traffic trip tables. These tables have
since been superseded by SANDAG in the form of new tables, the "Series 9" tables.
Sub consultant's working under WSA analyzed the Series 9 estimates prepared by
SANDAG relating to population, housing, and employment and prepared, as well, their
own independent estimates for the SR 125 market area that are higher than those
projected under SANDAG's Series 9 and earlier models. We are unable to provide
specific examples of these higher estimates, but we can conclude that there appears to be
increased potential for traffic generation and, therefore, potential revenue for the facility
than had previously been projected. This will require verification based on updated and
reconciled Series 9 modeling numbers before a series of final trip tables and related
revenue analysis can be performed. However, these findings must be reconciled by WSA
with "corrected" Series 9 data before they can be used in the marketplace.
Traffic Projections: A thorough review of pre-existing traffic trends is necessary as a
means to understand travel patterns and trip data, which in turn are precursors to the
modeling of future traffic demand and related potential for revenues. The WSA interim
report builds on historical data collected by Caltrans with emphasis on I-5, 1-805 and
State Routes 905, 54, 94, and 125.
In the cases of both I-5 and 1-805, traffic roughly doubled in the period 1985 through
1994. In a similar vein, the traffic demand on SR 54 increased by more than 100 percent
between 1985 and 1995. However, traffic counts for SR 94 did not mirror such high
growth rates, although demand pressure was still significant. Finally, SR 125 between
Lemon Avenue and Grossmont Boulevard experienced a continuous rate of annual
growth of 3.5 percent in the decade ending 1995. (i.e. 41% total increase in 10 years)
Demand was also reviewed at the three border crossings, and not surprisingly, it was
determined that the number of passenger vehicles had increased significantly in a four
year period ending in 1995, with an increase estimated to be 1.33 percent per year.
Interestingly, the crossing with the most rapid growth rate was found to be Otay Mesa,
7
with annual increases in passenger vehicles in excess of 6 percent and trucks at nearly 9
percent.
This data was then subjected to supplemental studies focusing on travel time and related
distance traveled studies, which were useful in making adjustments in computer traffic
models that were used by WSA in estimating traffic and toll revenue.
Revenue estimates: As with the preceding factors, our review was performed on the
1998 WSA work product since an updated report being prepared for the benefit of the
developers has not been completed. Basic assumptions contained in the revenue
estimates include an initial four-lane facility, and an opening date of July 1, 2001.
Further, WSA provides estimates for fifteen years of operations, operating under the
presumption that a longer-term final report would be undertaken at the time of financing.
The WSA report concludes that the first 6-month period of revenue operations, adjusted
for an initial half-year of activity and the anticipated ramping up of demand as users
adjust to the presence of the facility in the community, would produce $5.8 million.
Looking forward to the third year of operation, WSA's report projects revenue to
accumulate at mom than $23 million and by the fifteenth year of revenue operations,
WSA shows annual revenue collections in excess of $55 million. We have also reviewed
the SDELP preliminary financing plan that is directly tied to this preliminary revenue
estimate. Based on this limited review, it appears that total operating revenues will
provide an adequate revenue stream to support long-term debt service, operating costs
and maintenance costs.
Organizational/Ownership Options
Them am essentially two basic options to consider in determining the ownership and operation of
the SR 125 South project.
Private Ownership - This option is the anticipated ownership option for this project. Ownership
would remain in private hands, with CTV or another private entity holding the AB 680 franchise.
This option could be accomplished on either a "for-profit" or a "not-for-profit" basis, with a tax-
exempt structure being used to issue debt under the latter approach. On a "not-for-profit" basis,
CTV would have to sell its interest to a viable non-profit organization eligible to take advantage
of tax exempt financing. Currently, CTV is exploring both "for-profit" and "not-for-profit"
alternatives and has been advised by its Financial Advisor that either approach is feasible in
today' s financial markets. A decision will likely be based on the upside potential of sponsor
ownership versus project economics and market conditions which may dictate the need for tax-
exempt financing.
Public Ownership - This option has several variations, including City ownership, City
involvement in ownership through a Joint Powers Authority, or ownership by another public
agency or group of agencies. All public ownership options, however, provide the benefit of
being eligible for tax-exempt financing, possible property tax or "possessory interest" tax relief
8
and greater public control over toll operations. While it may be possible for the City of Chula
Vista to accomplish a public buy-out on its own, them are other alternatives which involve less of
a direct risk.
One such alternative would involve creation of a Joint Powers Authority that is specifically
established to take over ownership of the project. Under California law, two or more
governmental units can form a JPA to finance and lease a toll road. The JPA could consist of
entities under the City's control or the City could be involved with other entities as deemed
appropriate. The JPA would be eligible for tax-exempt financing, and would be in a position to
better control the amount of the tolls and the tenure of toll charges on SR 125.
Another alternative which bears further examination would be to ask SANDAG, the San Diego
County Metropolitan Planning Organization, to take a lead role in the public ownership process.
SANDAG already administers the tolls on the Coronado Bridge and oversees the toll operations
on Interstate 15 in San Diego County, so their involvement in this type of activity makes some
sense. SANDAG could serve as the sole owner/operator, or could participate in a multi-agency
JPA which could include the City. Since a substantial portion of the project is in the County's
jurisdiction, it also seems appropriate that the County of San Diego be involved in any joint
powers operation.
Them is one other public ownership alternative which must be considered, and that is simply
allowing the franchise to fail or expire. This would mean constructing the SR 125 South facility
as a conventional state highway. Traditional funding for a project of this magnitude, absent an
extension of the Transnet Program, would take longer to accomplish, but the city has resources
that could finance an interim SR 125 facility to provide some additional north-south capacity
until other funds become available. The City has already initiated planning efforts in the regard,
and this year's City.budget includes $250,000 to begin the engineering work for an interim
facility. Obviously, if the local transportation sales tax program (Transnet) is extended in the
near futura, traditional financing for this project becomes more viable. Again, the key
consideration hem is the additional time it would take to get a complete facility in place.
A variation of this last alternative would be to delay any further review pending the results of
CTV's efforts to obtain financing. If CTV is successful, the project can go forward without
public involvement. If CTV is not successful, then the City could proceed to explore public
ownership options but only after efforts to obtain private financing have failed. This would mean
a delay of several months in being able to negotiate a purchase of the Franchise from CTV and
implement the project, and the Council needs to consider this factor in deciding whether to
proceed with additional analysis at this time.
Potential Legislation
The potential for legislation to enhance the fundability or attractiveness of the project is very
limited in the near term. The State legislature is finishing up the last half of the 1999-2000
Session at the end of August, and no new legislation may be introduced until the next Session
begins in early December. Even in that case, legislation introduced for consideration in 2001,
9
would not become effective as a change in law until January 1, 2002. If an Urgency Clause could
be justified, then by two-thirds vote of both houses, a bill can become effective immediately
upon Gubernatorial approval.
Having said that, we believe that current law is adequate for establishing a Joint Powers
Authority (IPA), which is one of the possible organizational structures discussed in this review
document. However, it has not been unprecedented for entities exploring the benefits of existing
JPA law to find it necessary to "tailor" JPA law by amendments to the act.
We have identified an initial limited list of potential statutory amendments that could be
beneficial to the transfer of the SR 125 franchise to a Chula Vista-organized JPA. These are not
necessary to the formation of the JPA, but would be targeted at bringing this project to a level
consistent with other state-authorized toll facilities, the Transportation Corridor Agencies of
Orange County. Specifically, there are two potential legislative modifications that would provide
financial relief to the project, which in turn would reduce the fiscal pressure on the revenue
collections, resulting in a healthier project, a reduced toll collection period, or possibly reduced
toll amounts. These amendments would be:
> Recognize that SR 125 is a State Highway and recognize that the state has an obligation
to cover maintenance costs;
~' Recognize the state's responsibility to cover law enforcement costs.
In addition, if the City decides to further pursue a public ownership option, it would be our
recommendation to monitor the progress of the "peer review" contractors to seek additional
improvements to the law that would benefit the city. These might include organizational structure
modifications such as membership, clarification of liability and the like.
To reinforce our previous comments on the political aspects of toll roads, we need to make a
final comment relative to any legislation which may be necessary. It has been very clear since.
the public abandonment by the Governor of the attempted SR 91 transfer agreement late last year
that the State's Chief Executive wants nothing to do with AB 680 projects. This sobering reality
was driven home this summer by the Govemor's very pointed blue-pencilling of transportation
appropriations for both the SR 57 and SR 125 franchise agreement projects. Conversations with
the Governor's staff and state transportation officials subsequent to the Governor's actions
indicate that any course of action requiring the Governor's involvement is in serious jeopardy.

Meeting Date 11/7/00
ITEM TITLE: Resolution Waiving the Formal Bid Requirements as Impractical and
Awarding an Agreement for Citywide Street Sweeping Services to Cannon
Pacific Services for the period of November 1, 2000 to April 30, 2001 and
authorizing the Mayor to execute the Agreement.
SUBMITTED BY: SpecialOperationsManager~ ~'~-i~'
REVIEWED BY: City Manage~,~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes No x )
On June 24, 1997, the City Council approved a contract with R. F. Dickson, Inc. to provide
citywide street sweeping services. The agreement provided for three years of street sweeping
service (July 1, 1997 through June 30, 2000), with the option of extending the agreement for up to
two additional years. The City had advertised and requested bid responses for a three-year
contract, with 2 one-year renewable options. Four bids were received on May 13, 1997. R.F.
Dickson Company, Inc. was the low bidder and Cannon Pacific Services was the second lowest
bidder in that process.
Staff and R.F. Dickson have been unable to reach an agreement on terms for the one-year options
authorized under the current agreement, and Dickson has given 30 days notice, effective November
1, 2000. Staff has contacted the second lowest bidder, Cannon Pacific Services, and they have
agreed to meet the terms of the initial agreement with modifications including an increase in total
miles to be swept, a monthly credit to the City for free disposal, and a consumer price index
adjustment to cover the period over the past 3 years. They have also offered a significant
improvement in equipment and schedule that Staff believes will result in better service to residents
and businesses. Staff is requesting that Council authorize the proposed agreement (Attachment A)
with Cannon Pacific for a six-month extension retroactive to November 1, 2000. The additional
time will provide Staff the time needed develop a new request for proposal.
RECOMMENDATION: That City Council adopt the resolution waiving the bid process as
impractical and award the contract for citywide street sweeping services to Canon Pacific Services
for the period of November 1, 2000 through April 30, 2001, with up to two one month extensions
at the City's discretion, and authorize the Mayor to execute the contract.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Resource Conservation Commission
will receive an update as part of the next Conservation Program report regarding the increase in the
swceping schedule as it relates to a reduction in storm water system and urban run-off impacts.
DISCUSSION:
On April 12, 1997 the City sent requests for bids to 14 firms located both in and out of the County.
The lowest responsible bidder was R. F. Dickson Company, inc. with a bid of $167,948.67 per
year. The second lowest bidder was Cannon Pacific Services with a bid of $176,224.46
7-,!
Page 2, Item __
Meeting Date 11/7/00
The contract covered sweeping for the majority of City streets, center islands/medians, centerlines
and parking lots. Private streets and new streets that were not yet accepted by the Director of
Public Works were intentionally omitted. The original agreement outlines eight classes of street
sweeping service and price levels (Attachment B). Under the proposed agreement the price per curb
mile will be the same for each class. The class will continue to represent the frequency that each
curb, median or centerline is swept.
Several miles of new streets, centerlines and medians have been added to the street sweeping list
since the bid was awarded. One of the primary reasons that staff is requesting this short term
agreement is to have adequate time to develop a comprehensive list of new streets and distances for
the bid process, to improve the coordination with solid waste collection, road construction and other
development within the City. The comprehensive list will also allow the City to respond to
inquiries regarding the sweeping schedule, increase public awareness and encourage residents to
voluntarily park off street on street sweeping days. The Special Operations Manager, Engineering,
Public Works Operations and GIS have begun to develop that list and develop a process to expedite
the addition of streets to the sweeping agreement as the Director of Public Works accepts them.
The proposed agreement reflects the increase in sweeping schedule authorized by Council as
part of the current budget year. Service frequency for residential streets, centerlines and
medians will double from once a month to twice per month sweeping. The increase in
frequency will increase the monthly rate from approximately $14,500 per month to $26,553.36
per month. Under the proposed agreement, the new rate is a maximum rate, fixed for the
term of the agreement. The maximum rate is based on $14.88 per mile, and the estimated
mileage for the current list of streets. Newly constructed streets will be added to the list and
swept as the Director of Public Works accepts them. Additional streets may be added or the
frequency of sweeping may be increased for specific streets or classes at the rate of $14.88 per
mile throughout the term, at the City's sole discretion. The City has also retained the right to
reduce the frequency of sweeping, the mileage of sweeping, or the square footage of parking lots to
be swept with no increase in the unit price compensation for the remaining work. Additionally, the
contractor has committed newer equipment with improved sweeping technology.
To assure maximum effectiveness, the contractor will schedule sweeping in residential and
commercial areas when the least number of vehicles are parked at the curb. That schedule will be
subject to the City Manager's approval. The Contractor will be required to sweep certain major
streets and parking lots in the early morning to accommodate businesses and maximize
effectiveness. No sweeping in residential areas shall be started prior to 8:00 a.m., or occur later
than 4:00 p.m. Equipment will have sufficient mufflers and other silencing devices to permit its
operation within City noise standards. The Contractor shall also make every effort to schedule the
sweeping on days following regular trash collections, but in no event any closer than two days prior
to trash pickup. Staff expects that residents and businesses will see a dramatic increase in the
cleanliness of streets under the new agreement and contractor.
Page 3, Item__
Meeting Date 11/7/00
Payment for sweeping will be based on the unit price per curb mile and made on monthly basis,
after the work is completed. The City will be able to make deductions based on the curb mile rate
and assess "enforcement penalties," for streets or areas not swept, or not properly swept according
to the standards indicated in the agreement. Staff has also made a landfill fee adjustments allowed
under the agreement. The City's agreement with Pacific Waste Services allows City contractors to
dump a set amount of waste at the landfill at no charge. As the dump costs were built into the
original per mile bid rate, the City will deduct $34 per ton from the monthly rate for each ton
generated up to the first 100 tons and $17 per ton for each additional ton. Landfill fee adjustments
have saved the City between $2,000 and $2,700 per month or about 16% of the monthly cost under
the old agreement over the past eighteen months. For example, if the proposed street sweeping
schedule collects 100 tons of litter and fines from City street sweeping in a given month the
$26,553.36 per month rate - $3,400 (100 tons at $34 per ton) will result in a net cost to the City of
$23,153.36. Payment for the addition of any street or parking lot accepted by the City during the
life of this contract will be made at the same unit price as stated in the agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds in the amount of $291,968 are budgeted to pay for these services for
the 2000-2001 budget year. These funds are sufficient to cover the contract cost for scheduled
street sweeping plus the estimated costs for special sweeping and the sweeping costs for any new
streets that may be added during the year.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA WAIVING THE BID REQUIREMENTS AND
AWARDING CONTRACT FOR CITYWIDE STREET SWEEPING
SERVICES TO CANNON PACIFIC SERVICES FOR THE
PERIOD OF NOVEMBER 1, 2000 TO APRIL 30, 2001
AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE
AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, on June 24, 1997, the City Council approved a
contract with R. F. Dickson, Inc. to provide citywide street
sweeping services for three years (July 1, 1997 through June 30,
2000), with an option of extending the agreement for up to two
additional years; and
WHEREAS, the City advertised for bids for a three-year
contract, with 2 one-year renewable options and four bids were
received on May 13, 1997 with R. F. Dickson Company, Inc. being the
low bidder and Cannon Pacific Services the second lowest bid; and
WHEREAS, staff and R. F. Dickson have been unable to
reach an agreement on terms for the first of two one year options
authorized under the current agreement or the increase in sweeping
frequency authorized by Council as part of the current fiscal year
budget process and Dickson has given 30 days notice; and
WHEREAS, staff is requesting that Council waive the
bidding requirements and authorize an agreement for a six month
extension with the second lowest bidder of the bid process; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary to waive the bidding process at
this time because:
1. City staff cannot reasonably complete the formal
bidding process within thirty days.
2. It is necessary to ensure street sweeping continues
uninterrupted to protect the public health and
safety by keeping the streets free of litter and
reduce urban run off and its impact to the storm
water management system.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the city Council of
the City of Chula Vista does hereby waive th? bid requirements and
award an agreement for citywide street sweeping services to Cannon
Pacific Services for the period November 1, 2000 to April 30, 2001.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor of the City of
Chula Vista is hereby authorized and directed to execute said
agreement for and on behalf of the City of Chula Vista.
