the City of Chula Vista
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Wor~
Director of Planning
Director of Parks & R ~~a i ---
REVIEWED BY: City Manager ~ ~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
On April 26, the Council continued this item because of concerns expressed to
Mayor Cox regarding the finished product we were asking the City Council to
accept.
On December 8, 1987, the City Council by Resolution No. 13375 awarded a
contract for the landscaping of Marina Park, E, H & J Street entries and J
Street median to Roca Construction, Inc. The work is now completed.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt a resolution accepting the contract work.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
On March 24, 1988, Roca Construction, Inc. completed the landscaping of Marina
Park, E, H & J Street entries and J Street median. A final inspection was
made on March 25, 1988 and all work was found to be completed in accordance
with the contract plans and specifications. The City Engineer, the Director
of Planning and the Director of Parks and Recreation are satisfied with the
work performed by the contractor.
Landscaping and irrigation systems were installed at the E, H and J Street
entries (at I-5) as required by the contract plans and specifications. Each
entry's irrigation system was to be connected to water supply sources shown to
be nearby on record drawings used to design the project.
After construction commenced on the H Street median island, it was learned
that a source of water did not exist westerly of the M.T.D.B. trolley tracks.
It was determined that the water line that had served this island had been
severed at the time the new MTDB trackage was installed. The estimated cost
of extending a water service through the M.T. D.B. right-of-way, under the
tracks is about $3,000.
Staff is currently investigating other alternatives that may be available to
• secure a water supply that would not require extending a line through MTDB
right-of-way. The H Street entry landscaping will be maintained by City staff
until the most cost effective water supply alternative is chosen and
implemented.

The Landscape Architect met with Mayor Cox and while his concerns have been
partially addressed, they did not essentially involve the final product the
contractor was asking us to accept. His work did comply with the

addressed later if City Council directs.
