CITY OF ~~ (HULA VISTA ITEM TITLE: SUBMITTED BY: REYIEWEDBY: MARCH 17,2009, Iterr(2 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF . CHULA VISTA WAIVING THE FORMAL CONSULTANT SELECTION PROCESS, AND APPROVING THE THIRD Al'vfENDMENT TO A THREE-PARTY AGREEMENT WITH ANTHONY 1. LETTIERI, FAlCP, CONSULTANT, A.ND MCMILLIN OTAY RA.NCH, LLC, APPLICANT, FOR CONSULTING SERVICES ON THE EASTERN URBAN CENTER PROJECT DEPUTY efTY MANAGER / DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTO~ ~ W- CITY MAl"lAGEU 4/STHS YOTE: YES D NO I X I BACKGROUND The Eastern Urban Center (EUC) is a large and complex project in the Otay Ranch requiring the attention of senior-level staff and uniquely qualified consultants. Mr. Lettieri has been working on the EUC since 2005, and the project is nearing completion. The proposed contract amendment will extend the contract to take the project entitlemenr processing through completion of the Environmental Impact Report, Sectional Planning Area Plah and public hearings. 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 activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it involves only approval of a contract amendment for professional services; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary. RECOMMENDATION That City Council approve the resolution. 3-1 MARCH 17,2009, Item-..2l Page20f3 BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOIVIMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION Background The EUC project is intended to provide a unique functional and symbolic center for Otay . Ranch. The complexity of this important urban project necessitates assigriing the EUC. project to a uniquely qualified, very experienced, project manager. McMillin Otay Ranch, LLC, (Applicant) and primary developer of the EUC, agreed to fund a dedicated position to.process their entitlement applications for this project. In May, 2005, Anthony J. Lettieri, F AlCP entered a three-party agreement with the City and Applicant to function as an extension of City staff to provide project management and process the entitlements for the EUC. Mr. Lettieri was chosen for his prior work on the EUC when he was a member of City staff, for his knowledge of Otay Ranch and experience on other complex projects. In May 2006, the City Council approved Resolution 2006-151 granting a first amendment to Mr. Lettieri's contract that extended the expiration date of the contract and amended the Authorization Limit. In December 2007 the City Council approved Resolution 2007-298 granting a second amendment that again extended the expiration date of the contract and increased the Authorization Limit. The Eastern Urban Center Sectional Planning Area Plan (EUC SPA) was originally submitted in April of 2006 and it was anticipated that the project would be ready for consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council in the Fall of2007. Project redesigns by the Applicant and other unforeseen circumstances have lengthened the entitlement process. The Applicant and staff continue to make progress on the project. The City Council has been briefed on the project on two separate occasions, the most recent being a presentation on the EVC consistency with the General Plan Framework Strategy on May 1, 2007. In June 2007, the Applicant requested that staff curtail most of the planning review on the project while they revised the orientation of Main Street. The r~vised project was then resubmitted in December 2007. With the state of the economy making the project entitlements uncertain, McMillin asked staff to stop processing the project in October' 2008 and then resumed processing in December 2008 once both parties agreed to a new focused direction. Based on this new direction, staff is anticipating that the SPA Plan and related documents will be ready for your consideration in June of 2009. Mr. Lettieri's Cllrrent contract expired on December 31, 2008, and needs an extension of time, and additional funding, to-complete the entitlement process. The proposed third amendment extends the expiration date of the contract to December 31,2009 and adds another $100,000 to the contract to cover Mr. Lettieri's time through December 2009. 3-2 MARCH 17, 2009, Item 3' Page 3 of3 Consultant Selection Process Staffrecommends Council waive the formal bid process and amend the existing contract for the services of Mr. Lettieri. The complex nature of this signatur,e project in Chula Vista requires a senior-level planner with applicable experience. NIT. Lettieri has 38 years of planning experience working on complex, large projects throughout San Diego County, including Chula Vista. He was also the past project manager for the Otay Ranch Development Plan and is familiar with the plans and policies of the Otay Ranch, and the EUC. In the past, Mr. Lettieri has worked as an employee of the City, and as an extension of staff on a contract basis and is familiar with City regulations and policies. Mr. Lettieri has managed this project for the past three years and is best suited to continue in that capacity without delay due to an' understanding of the project and the. process. Consequently, the competitive bidding process requirements would be impractical in this case and the City's interests would be best served by waiving these requirements and amending Mr. Lettieri's contract. DECISION MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings within )00 feet of the boundaries of the property which is subject to this action. FISCAL IMP ACT There is no impact to the General Fund. The original contract was for up to $50,000, the first amendment was for up to $180,000, the second amendment was for up to $120,000, and the third amendment is for up to $100,000. All funding comes from developer deposits.
