the City of Chula Vista for the construction of Telegraph
Canyon Flood Control Project
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works/City Engineer
REVIEWED BY: City Manager f+,~ ~,~~~~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
The Acting Undersecretary of the Army has approved the Telegraph Canyon
Project and they have submitted the Local Cooperative Agreement to the local
agency for adoption. It is recommended that Council authorize the Mayor to
sign the agreement on the City's behalf.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the resolution authorizing the Mayor
to sign the Local Cooperative Agreement.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
• DISCUSSION:
The Local Cooperative Agreement (attached) was delivered to the Director of
Public Works/City Engineer on Friday, July 31, 1987. In order to meet time
constraints, staff has put the item on the agenda and attached a copy for
Council's review. However, staff has not had time to review the agreement in
detail and is proposing to have oral comments to the Council at the Tuesday
meeting.
Project
As you know, staff advertised for the construction of the box culvert portion
of the project (from about 200 feet easterly of Broadway to the connection at
I-5) in May and opened the bids in late June. It was intended for the City to
build this portion of the project ahead of the Army's project. Staff had the
project on the agenda to award the contract for July 21, 1987, however, on
July 17, staff received a phone call from the Corps of Engineers indicating
that the proposed LCA providing for the City to build a portion of the project
was overturned by one of the offices in Washington. Therefore, the City will
not be building any of the project.
This has presented a problem in purchasing Oscar Davila's parcel (600 ft. deep
parcel on the west side of Broadway). Originally, the contractor was supposed
to be out of that parcel by October 15, but that date has had to be pushed

back to December 15. The Assistant City Manager, Director of Public Works,
and Assistant City Attorney have been negotiating with Mr. Davila and his
attorney to try to revise that agreement.
Project Schedule
The schedule for the project is as follows:
1. The Corps of Engineers will advertise the project on August 7, provided
the Mayor signs and executes the Local Cooperative Agreement prior to that
date.
2. Bids will be opened on September 3, with the contract awarded by September
16.
Should the City not be able to come to terms on Mr. Davila's property, we will
need to condemn it and have a hearing sometime in August. The County has
acquired and the City Council has accepted virtually all of the other
remaining parcels on the project, with the exception of one parcel which we
have initiated condemnation proceedings at the eastern section.
Agreement (LCA)
• The Corps has indicated that this agreement still may need minor revisions.
Therefore, staff is recommending that the Council authorize the Mayor to sign
the contract rather than approve the agreement. Although minor changes may be
made after the Council meeting, it is not desirable to delay advertising the
project by another week. The final Agreement (if modified) will be given to
Council (by information memo).
