City of Newport Beach, County of Orange
PMA Job #24818
Dear Mr. Hudgins,
PMA Consulting, Inc. is pleased to provide this report in accordance with Section
21.30.15.E.3 of City of Newport Beach Municipal Code.
STATEMENT OF THE PREPARER’S QUALIFICATIONS
Plamen Petrov, P.E., the preparer of this report, holds a Master of Science in Structural
Engineering from University of Architecture, Structural Engineering & Geodesy of Sofia, Bulgaria,
and is a Licensed Civil Engineer by the State of California Certificate No. C66947. For the last 19
years of his professional career he has been actively involved in the design and entitlement of
many Waterfront Developments such as custom homes, seawalls, piers, platforms, floating docks
and marinas. A great number of Bulkhead Condition Reports prepared by him have been reviewed
and accepted/approved by California Coastal Commission.
All the above being said, Plamen Petrov, P.E. shall be considered a qualified preparer for
the Bulkhead Conditions Report on this project.
OBSERVATION
Cursory observation of the existing seawall/bulkhead were conducted by a representative of
our office on July 6, 2018. Observed were the visible/exposed portion of the waterfront face of the
seawall. Due to the site conditions, tie-backs were not accessible, thus not observed.
FINDINGS
The jetted-in pre-cast concrete panels and cast-in-place concrete coping found in a good
condition without noticeable signs of distressed.
CONCLUSION
Based on our site observation, we conclude that the existing seawall is required to protect
the proposed principal structure on the lot. To be able to do so, the seawall shall be repaired as
reflected on the enclosed Preliminary Seawall Drawings SW-0 thru SW-2. Once the seawall is
repaired, no repair or replacement of the seawall shall be anticipated in the next 75. If during this
period though, the seawall displays any sign of distress that requires immediate attention, it should
be repaired or replaced at that time accordingly, without seaward encroachment from its current
location.
The above conclusion was prepared based on the existing conditions, proposed drawings,
and within the inherent limitations of this study, in accordance with generally acceptable
engineering principles and practices. We make no further warranty, either expressed or implied.
PMA Consulting, Inc. appreciates the opportunity to work with you towards the successful
completion of your project. Should you have any questions regarding this report, please contact us.
Respectfully submitted,
Plamen Petrov, P.E.
