ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA WAIVING THE CONSULTANT SELECTION
PROCESS AND APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE
EXISTING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA AND SIMON WONG ENGIN ERING INC., FOR THE
WILLOW STREET BRIDGE PROJEC
SUBMITTED BY: DII2ECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
REVIEWED BY: ASSISTANT CITY AGER S~
CITY MANAGER
4/STHS VOTE: YES ^ NO
SUMMARY
By Resolution 2005-210, on June 21, 2005, the City Council approved an agreement with Simon
Wong Engineering Inc. in the amount of $1,181,891 for environmental and engineering services
required for the rehabilitation or replacement of Willow Street Bridge. In accordance with
required Caltrans procedures, an analysis was conducted to determine the feasibility of a bridge
replacement versus a bridge rehabilitation. The analysis determined that a bridge replacement
was the preferred strategy and rehabilitation would not be cost effective. As a result, additional
environmental and engineering services are required in order to complete design for the new
bridge. Staff recommends that the Simon Wong Engineering Inc. agreement be increased to
$1,939,152 to facilitate completion of Willow Street Bridge replacement.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the subject agreement is not
a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to
Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the agreement is not subject to CEQA. Thus,
no environmental review is necessary.
However, based on the sensitive project location (Sweetwater River) and potential significant
project impacts, the Environmental Review Coordinator has determined that an Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) prepared under State CEQA guidelines will be required. Furthermore, since
the project is receiving federal funding, it is necessary that an Environmental Assessment be
prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

RECOMMENDATION
Council adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
The existing Willow Street Bridge over the Sweetwater River was constructed in 1940 as a
multi-span reinforced concrete slab bridge supported on concrete piles and pile extensions. The
bridge length and width are approximately 610 feet and 31 feet, respectively. The bridge is
capable of carrying two lanes of traffic with a 4-foot wide maintenance walk on the west side;
the bridge has no bike lanes and no shoulders. The existing barrier system includes a concrete
curb and timber railing elements and does not meet current standards.
The approximate limits of the project include the Willow Street Bridge and roadway between the
intersections of Bonita Road and Sweetwater Road. The existing right-of--way is approximately
100-feet wide, with the existing bridge in the approximate center. Temporary easements maybe
required to facilitate the construction of the new bridge. The project requires interagency
coordination between City of Chula Vista, County of San Diego, and California Department of
Transportation which will provide Federal oversight.
To date, the consultant and its team have been responsive to City issues and project needs. Staff
is satisfied with Simon Wong's performance and recommends that the amendment be approved.
EXISTING SIMON WONG AGREEMENT- SCOPE OF WORK
The existing scope of work includes the following:
Phase 1 Preliminary Engineering, including: project management & administration; design
alternative evaluation; environmental documentation; topographical mapping;
geotechnical investigation; hydraulic studies; bridge type selection; and 30% design
details.
Phase 2 Final Design, including: project management & administration; development of all
required construction ready plans and documents; and development of all project
specifications and estimate.
Phase 3 Construction Support, including: project management and administration; bid
support; survey datum control; construction observation; and as-built detailing.
Detailed analyses of bridge rehabilitation and replacement alternatives were performed under the
guidelines of the State's Highway Bridge Program (HBP). Based on the analyses, it was
determined that it would not be cost-effective to rehabilitate the existing timber and concrete
bridge and that a new three-lane bridge, with the ability to add an additional lane at a later date.
The three-lane bridge will also accommodate bicycles and an equestrian undercrossing. The
three-lane bridge will consist of north-southbound thru lanes with a northbound exclusive
right-turn lane and a sidewalk on the easterly side.

Additional Work Required (Proposed Contract Amendment)
Based on the bridge replacement strategy selected by Caltrans and the City, the project's scope
must be expanded beyond that originally anticipated, resulting in the need for additional
engineering and environmental studies. This proposed amendment will provide for the following
additional consultant services:
Additional effort required for Alternative Analysis Report
Additional design support for the Project Report
Added seismic & liquefaction analysis to the geotechnical investigation
Added biological monitoring during the geotechnical investigation
Added formal bridge type selection process per Caltrans requirements
Additional hydraulic studies
Additional Landscape Architectural work and community meetings
Compliance with revised Federal bridge design code not in effect during the first contract
Increase in civil engineering design due to complexity of roadway improvement
The majority of amendment costs are attributed to the Alternative Analysis Report and the
Caltrans requirement for a Project Report. The Project Report is an engineering study that
presents a general scope, cost, and schedule for bridge replacement. The estimated project cost
for replacement of the bridge is $14 million. Caltrans procedures require a Project Report for
bridge project costs over $10 million. City staff will compile the Project Report with -the
consultant's support.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has not found property holding
for all Council members within 500 feet of the bridge, which is the subject of this action.

There is no impact to the General Fund since the funds for these services and bridge
improvements have been provided under a grant from the HBP and under the City's
Transportation Development Impact Fee (TDIF) program. The HBP will reimburse 80% of the
actual project costs For preliminary engineering and 88.53 % of the eligible costs for right-of-
way and construction. Therefore, more than 80% of the consultant's costs, as well as much of
the City staff costs, will be reimbursed to the City under the HBP. Since this is a reimbursement
program, to mitigate any cash flow deficiencies, it is staffs intent to request reimbursement
quarterly during the design phase and bi-monthly during the construction phase. The
unreimbursed balance will be paid from the City's Development Impact Fee program.

A Traffic Assessment report shall be processed and approved through
the City of Chula Vista. The following are assumed for this task:
• Two (2) submittals to the City of Chula Vista
• Two (2) meetings with City of Chula Vista staff
• Two (2) meetings with County of San Diego and/or SANDAG staff
• Cursory review by County /SANDAG staff - 2 submittals
1.10 Alternative Evaluation
This phase of the project will focus on developing the most appropriate
rehabilitation or replacement strategy and obtaining a consensus for project
development and funding commitments through the HBRR program via
Caltrans and the FHWA. The existing bridge is eligible for rehabilitation (but
generally not replacement) funding through the HBRR program; however,
replacement strategies and widening with adding lanes will also be
considered.
In order to develop a consensus on the baseline project, a number of
alternatives shall be developed to approximately a 10% design level and
studied. Plans shall include a bridge general plan and a roadway plan and
profile sheet. Up to two widening alternatives and three replacement
alternatives shall also be developed. These may include:
• Widen to a 2-lane bridge with 8' shoulders and 5' sidewalks, Width = 52'
• Widen to a 41ane bridge with 8' shoulders, 4' striped median, and 5'
sidewalks, Width = 80'
• Replace with a 2-lane bridge with 8' shoulders and 5' sidewalks, W idth =
52'. Demo the existing bridge and re-align traffic to new structure (off-
alignment)
• Replace with a 41ane bridge with 8' shoulders, 4' striped median and 5'
sidewalks, Width = 52'. Demo the existing bridge and re-align traffic to
new structure (off-alignment). Construction within existing right-of-way.
• Open alternative -Develop and study one additional replacement
alternative that inGudes a variation on alignment, lane configuration,
shoulder width or sidewalk condition.
Potential evaluation criteria will likely include:
• Bridge Load Rating
• Hydraulic Perfonnance
• Deck Geometry (Width)
• Traffic Capacity (ADT)
• Traffic Safety Features
• Structure Lifespan
• Seismic Liquefaction Potential
CVISimon Wong -Willow St Bridge Rehab
Page 16
4-23
• Scour Potential
• Right-of-Way Impacts
• Potential Environmental Issues
These criteria shall be ranked for importance and each altemative shall be.
relatively scored using a value analysis approach.
Preliminary cost estimates shall be developed using current unit cost data and
a general plan level quantiiy take-off. Details shall include a bridge general
plan and a roadway plan and profile sheet for each altemative.
An alternatives report shall be completed to document the analysis and shall
be provided to the City and Caltrans for review. Up to 10 copies of a draft and
final version of the report shall be printed and distributed to the City and
Caltrans. Consultant agrees to meet with the City and Caltrans to assist in
defining the appropriate project altemative forenvironmental analysis and final
design.
1.11 Drilling Permits and Environmental Clearance
Environmental permits to perform the geotechnical borings and investigation
will be obtained by Consultant through the jurisdictional agencies. These are
assumed to incude the California Department of Fish and Game, the US Army
Corps of Engineers and the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Permit
application fees will be invoiced as a direct cost.
1.12 Geotechnicallnvestigation
Geotechnical field investigation and lab testing shall be completed to support
the bridge and roadway design. Based on published geologic maps, it
appears that the bridge alignment is undertain by alluvium over San Diego,
Mission Valley or Otay Formation. Shallow groundwater at about creek
elevation is expected. Consultant understands that the bridge will be
designed to Caltrans standards.
County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health well permits shall
be obtained by Geocon Incorporated for the borings. Access to numerous
drill locations will require permission from several agencies. Because access
within the channel is subject to changes associated with flow through the
channel and vegetation growth, Consultant should assumed two borings per
day.
The scope of the investigation for the widening or replacement bridge shall
consist of the following:
Drill twenty small-diameter borings using mud rotary drilling equipment;
one at each abutment and the remainder spaced evenly throughout
the one at approximately each pierthrough the alluvium into underlying
formational materials (approximately 30 to 70 feet) to examine and
sample the prevailing soil conditions. Consultant should expect that
borings will be drilled along the access road within the golf course and
within the river channel at the northwest side of the existing bridge.
Because of the loose sand within the river channel, stabilization mats or
plywood will be required to access the drill sites. Drilling mud will be
CV/Simon Wong -Willow St Bridge Rehab
Page 17
4-24
disposed of by the geotechnical subconsultant. Pavements will be
patched with cold patch asphalt.
Perform laboratory tests on selected soil samples to evaluate unit
weight, water content, pH, resistivity, soluble sulfate content, chloride
ion content, grain size, shear strength, consolidation, expansion and
compaction characteristics of the prevailing soils.
Prepare a Final Foundation Report (FR) presenting Consultant's
findings and Consultant's conclusions and recommendations regarding
the geotechnical aspects of constructing the proposed bridge and
widening. Recommended foundation design criteria including bottom of
footing elevations and bearing capacities or pile tip elevations and
laterel pile capacities shall be included. The report shall be prepared in
accordance with Caltrans Guidelines for Foundation Investigation and
Reports, version 1.2. A Log of Test Borings in Caltrans format would
also be provided. Recommended grading spec cations, temporary
slope criteria, liquefaction evaluation, groundwater conditions, seismic
design criteria, retaining wall design criteria, excavation characteristics
and remedial grading measures shall also be included in the report.
1.13 Bridge Type Selection
This task includes the development of the preferred bridge alternative for the
site. Abridge type selection report shall be developed to formalize the bridge
type, materials, span arrangement, constraints, foundations, aesthesis and
construction methods. This document shall be prepared in accordance with
Caltrans Memo to Designers 1-29.
1.13.1 Coordinate with the project geotechnical engineer for appropriate
foundation type and sizing. Based on the known geotechnical
conditions up and down sVeam of the bridge and the Gose proximity
of private property, large diameter cast-in~rilled hole (CIDH) concrete
foundations are anticipated.
1.13.2 Coordinate with the project civil designer and hydraulic requirements
for bridge vertical alignment and landing requirements
1.13.3 Prepare a bridge general plan and preliminary cost estimate
1.13.4 Develop architectural and aesthetic details for the bridge that tie-in
with the site
1.13.5 Prepare a Type Selection Report with Consultant's recommendation
for design alternatives, abutment and bent layout, utility issues,
maintenance issues, aesthetic issues and construction methods.
This report shall also document the preliminary engineer's estimates
for other alternatives studied for this project.
Consultant may assume that the Type Selection Report will be made available
to the City and Caltrans; however, a Type Selection Meeting will not be
required. Consultant shall produce 10 copies of the draft and final Type
Selection Report which will be distributed to the City and Caltrans.
CV/Simon Wong -Willow St Bridge Rehab

include a project title sheet, a sheet list, bridge general plan, bridge foundation
plan, roadway plan and profile sheet, grading plans, roadway typical sections,
preliminary landscape plan and a preliminary engineer's estimate of probable
cost. Utility dispositions shall be defined on the bridge foundation plan or on
the roadway plan and profile sheets.
Up to 6 copies of the 30% design shall be distributed to the City and Caltrans.
Plans shall be printed in both full size and 11x17 sheets.
1.16 Caltrans Coordination
Since a majority of the funding for this project is anticipated to be through the
HBRR program, the project must be designed and processed in accordance
with the CalVans Local Programs Manuals. Significant coordination with the
District Local Assistance Engineer and the Structures Local Assistance
Engineer will help assure a smooth project that meets the federal funding
criteria.
1.16.1 Bridge Sufficiency Rating Analysis
An evaluation of the bridge condition shall be completed and
compared to the current Caltrans maintenance reports and sufficiency
rating (SR). This task inGudes a detailed visual field review of the
bridge condition. Recommendations for changes the SR shall be
formalized in a project memo along with any noted structural or
geometric deficiencies.
1.16.2 Project Funding Analysis
Evaluate the opportunities and constraints for the project funding
through the HBRR program and other likely funding sources including
local matching funds. This evaluation shall include an analysis of
likely participating and non-participating components. It shall also
look at opportunities for funding commitments through the HBRR
program for a portion of non-participating construction.
CV/Simon Wong -Willow St Bridge Rehab
Page 19
4-26
1.16.3 Process Flow Chart

1.17 NEPA / CEQA Environmental Documentation
Given the project funding sources and agency involvement, both the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) guidelines must be satisfied. The following part of the scope of work
(sections 1.17.1 -17.11) is based on the assumption that a single document
will be developed that satisfies both CEQA and NEPA requirements. Based
on the anticipated project environmental conditions, it is assumed the joint
document will be an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) pursuant to CEQA
and an Environmental Assessment (EA) pursuant to NEPA. If a less intensive
environmental review is required, the maximum compensation amount shall
be adjusted downward accordingly.
1.17.1 Field Review /PES
The environmental subconsultant's staff shall attend a Field Review of the
project site with Consultant, City, and Caltrans District 11 staff. The
environmental subconsultant's staff, with the input of other members of the

Page 20
4-27
resources evaluated during project studies. The APE map shall be based
on the total anticipated disturbance footprint associated with project
activities (e.g., road construction, staging areas, detours, drainage facilities,
and adjacent parcels should any additional right-of-way be required).
1.17.3 Environmental Constraints Report
The environmental subconsultant shall prepare an Environmental
Constraints Report. The purpose of the report is to develop an inventory of
environmental resources and a list of potential project issues and impacts
that could significantly delay or affect the viability of any project alternative.
It also will determine whether additional altematives need to be examined,
what additional studies may be needed in the PANED phase, identify likely
permit requirements and the type of environmental document needed.
The Environmental Constraints Report shall inventory (map and describe)
environmental resources and identify environmental issues, particularly
those affecting the viability of alignment alternatives. With this baseline
environmental information, additional altematives can be formulated to
avoid or minimize adverse environmental effects. Further studies required
to complete the PANED phase shall be identified, noting any seasonal
constraints, as well the permits needed for project implementation.
Information shall be obtained from existing documentation, aerial
photographs and other mapping, as well as limited field examinations.
The environmental subconsultant shall obtain/provide aerial photographs
and other base maps from the project area. Available mapped information
shall be collected to generate a database with spatially correct information.

The following tasks shall be performed by the biological
subconsultant:
Perform Protocol Surveys for Arcoyo Toad. U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS) survey protocols require six day and
nighttime surveys conducted within the same 24 hour period
separated by at least one week. Surveys may not be valid if
appropriate breeding habitat (shallow pools) is not present on-
site. A report of findings must be submitted to the USFWS
within 30 days of the end of the breeding season (July).
• Perform Protocol Surveys for Least Bell's Vireo. USFWS
protocols require eight surveys separated by 10 days in order
to determine presence/absence. Surveys must be conducted
beginning April 10 of each season. A report of findings must
be submitted to the USFWS within 30 days of the end of the
breeding season (September).
Perform a Rare Plant Surveys in May and July in order to
coincide with the blooming periods of potentially occurcing
sensitive species.
• Perform a wetland delineation using the currently accepted
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) delineation manual.

the project and identify subsequent procedures to determine the
extent of contamination and remediation requirements. Potential
hazardous waste sites located within the project area shall be
investigated per information available from local and/or State
agencies. Historic land use information for the project study area
shall be requested from the City to determine whether previous
uses may have resulted in hazardous waste contamination.
A draft ISA shall be submitted to the City and Caltrans for review.
The environmental subconsultant's staff shall revise the ISA as
necessary, and submit a final ISA for Caltrans' approval.
1.17.4.8 Air Quality Study

2.3 Final Foundation Report
Prepare a report presenting Consultant's findings and Consultant's
contusions and recommendations regarding the geotechnicel aspects of
constructing the proposed bridge and widening. Recommended foundation
design criteria including bottom of footing elevations and bearing capacities
or pile tip elevations and lateral pile capacities shall be included. The report

2.4 Bridge Design and Detailing
This task includes the design and detailing of the bridge based on Caltrans
manuals and procedures. A replacement six spancast-in-placed prestressed
concrete box girder bridge alternative as the baseline in estimating our design
scope is assumed. The bridge is also assumed to include two stages with a
closure pour near the center median. The design effort for other alternatives
CV/Simon Wong -Willow St Bridge Rehab
Page 28
4-35
may require a revision toConsultant scope and compensation.
The design effort for a widening of the existing bridge to add standard
shoulders, sidewalks and banier railing has not been specifically estimated;
however, Consultant believes that the cost will be similar to the replacement
alternative. Using Caltrans design rates as a guideline, a replacement
bridge is roughly 2.2 times more efficient for design based on historical data
for design cost vs. construction cost. Given a rough estimate of the bridge
construction cost of about $3.4 million and $6.9 million for the rehabilitation
and replacement alternatives, respectively, the rehabilitation altemative
design cost would be within 10% of the replacement altemative.

REPLACEMENT OF THE WILLOW STREET BRIDGE OVER
SWEETWATER RIVER FOR THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA;
APPROPRIATING FUNDS NECESSARY TO COMPLETE THE
DESIGN PHASE OF THE PROJECT; AND AUTHORIZING
THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT ON BEHALF
OF THE CITY
WHEREAS, the Willow Street Bridge is a two lane bridge constructed in 1940 that
traverses the Sweetwater River in the City of Chula Vista; and
WHEREAS, the proposed project consists of the rehabilitation or replacement of the
Willow Street Bridge; and
WHEREAS, the bridge is currently eligible for rehabilitation funding through the State of
California's Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program (HBRRP) and has been
classified as functionally obsolete; and
WHEREAS, while the HBRRP funding is programmed for bridge rehabilitation,
replacement alternatives must be evaluated to assure the best use of public funds; and
WHEREAS, in addition, the current and future traffic demands may support additional
traffic lanes for a bridge widening or replacement project; and
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista's General Plan indicates that Willow Street will
uliimately be a 4-lane major arterial; and
WHEREAS, the City, in accordance with the California Department of Transportation's
Local Assistance Procedures Manual, released a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) in February
2004; and
WHEREAS, the City reviewed and evaluated Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from
ten consultants and established a short list of the top five candidates to paRicipate in the

Page 2
WHEREAS, the attached agreement allows Simon Wong & Associates, a qualified
consultant, to evaluate design alternatives and to provide environmental analysis and review,
preliminary engineering design, final design, and construction support; and
WHEREAS, the Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity
for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that
the subject agreement is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA
Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the
agreement is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary. However,
based on the sensitive project location (Sweetwater River) and potential significant project
impacts, the Environmental Review Coordinator has determined that an Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) prepazed under State CEQA guidelines will be required. Consequently, since the
project is receiving federal funding, it is necessary that an Environmental Assessment be
prepared in accordance with the Nationa] Environmental Policy Act (NEPA); and
WHEREAS, a total of $1,463,514 will be appropriated from Fund 736 (Org Key 73612),
which has been established to fund projects containing federal grant funds to existing Willow
Street Bridge Capital Improvement Project, STL261.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby approve the agreement, between Simon Wong & Associates and the City of
Chula Vista to provide professional engineering services related to the rehabilitation or
replacement of the Willow Street Bridge and approve the appropriation of $1,463,514 from Fund
736 to existing Willow Street Bridge Capital Improvement Project, STL261.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor of the City of Chula Vista is hereby
authorized and directed to execute said agreements for and on behalf of the City of Chula Vista.
