The requested contract capacity increase will support the preparation of the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center (CVEATC) Master Plan, the expanded scope of the Rohr Park Master Plan, and other as-needed professional services.
Separately, this item includes a budget appropriation to fund preparation of the CVEATC Master Plan and additional work associated with the Rohr Park Master Plan. Both planning efforts will establish long -term visions and implementation frameworks and will be brought back to the City Council for consideration upon completion.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the Cali fornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and it has been determined that the project is statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15262 (Feasibility and Planning Studies) because the proposed activity involves only feasibility and planning studies for possible future actions which the agency, board, or commission has not approved, adopted or funded. Thus, no further environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable
DISCUSSION
On May 14, 2024, the City Council approved a list of on -call consultant agreements in the areas of Civil Engineering, Construction Cost Auditing, Housing & Homeless Services, Landscape Architecture Engineering, Planning, and Special District Formation & Financial Consulting. These agreements have an initial three-year term with a not -to-exceed amount of $750,000, with options for two (2) additional one-year extensions of $250,000 each, for a total potential contract amount of $1,250,000.
The proposed amendm ent increases the not -to-exceed amount for the Dudek agreement to $1,200,000 through June 30, 2027, with the total potential contract value increasing to $1,700,000 if all extension options are exercised. This increase provides additional contract capacity to support City of Chula Vista (“City”) projects, including the CVEATC Master Plan, the Rohr Park Master Plan, as well as other as-needed services across departments.
The amendment does not commit funding but allows the City to authorize work under the agreement as needed.
Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center Master Plan (CVEATC) The City Council approved a Facilities Operations Agreement with Elite Athlete Services, LLC on December 16, 2025, to manage and operate the CVEATC and to support long -term planning efforts for the site , which includes preparation of a CVEATC Master Plan. The CVEATC Master Plan will establish a long-term vision for the approximately 155-acre campus, including future land use, facility improvements, operational strategies, and potential public-private partnerships.
The planning effort will include:
Evaluation of facility conditions and future needs
Identification of opportunities for expanded programming and revenue generation Community and stakeholder engagement
Development of implementation strategies and phasing
In addition to establishing a long -term vision for the site, a key objective of the CVEATC Master Plan is to expand and enhance community access to the facility. This includes identifying opportunities for broader public use, programming, and amenities that strengthen the Center’s role as a community asset. The Master Plan will also evaluate opportunities for public-serving uses that provide an extraordinary public benefit and contribute to the community fabric, with an emphasis on ensuring long-term public access.

City staff solicited proposals from multiple on-call consultants and selected Dudek based on their experience with large -scale master planning, including similar campus and regional planning effor ts. This effort is expected to cost $750,000.
Rohr Park Master Plan
Since initiation of the Rohr Park Master Plan, it has been determined that additional work is necessary to complete a full environmental review in compliance with the California Environmen tal Quality Act (CEQA) and to advance a comprehensive review of the golf course and northeastern section of Rohr Park. The environmental review will evaluate potential impacts associated with proposed improvements and identify appropriate mitigation measures. The review of the golf course will include a detailed assessment of existing conditions and potential enhancements that align with long-term park use and operational considerations.
The proposed increase in scope will allow Dudek to complete the enviro nmental analysis, refine design concepts, and ensure that the Rohr Park Master Plan provides a clear and implementable framework for future improvements. This additional work will support informed decision -making by the City Council and ensure the project is consistent with regulatory requirements and community expectations. The additional cost for this work is estimated to total $250,000.
The CVEATC Master Plan and Rohr Park Master Plan will be presented to the City Council for review and approval when complete.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property holdings within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Consequently, this item does not present a disqualifying real p roperty-related financial conflict of interest under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(7) or (8), for purposes of the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code §87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been infor med by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed amendment to increase the contract capacity of the Dudek on-call agreement does not, in itself, result in a fiscal impact, as expenditures will occur only if and when services are authorized.
The fiscal impact associated with the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center Master Plan is estimated at $750,000 and the fiscal impact associated with the proposed increase in scope for the Rohr Park Master Plan is estimated at $250,000, for a combined estimated cost of $1,000,000. These estimates includes contingency funds to address potential scope adjustments and unforeseen needs.

General Fund Category Expenditures
Non-Departmental Supplies and Services $ (79,041) Non-Departmental Non-CIP Project Expenditures 79,041 Net Impact $ 0
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact to the General Fund or Development Services Fund as a result of approving the amendment to the Dudek Agreement. Should services be required for a specific private development project, those services would be funded through the applicant’s deposit account.
