TITLE: Peninsula Point Encroachment Removal Project — Award of Contract
No. 8814-1 (22M14)
ABSTRACT -
Staff has received construction bids for the Peninsula Point Encroachment Removal
Project and requests the City Council's approval to award the construction contract to
SDG Enterprises of Van Nuys, California. This project will remove non-native vegetation
and unauthorized objects and improvements in the public beach area adjacent to private
properties from F Street to the end of the Balboa Peninsula. The cleared area will then
be landscaped using native seeds and plants. The project implements the removal and
restoration plan approved by the California Coastal Commission (CCC) pursuant to
Consent Orders CCC-20-CD-02, CCC-20-RO-01, and CC-20-AP-02. The City Manager
signed the Consent Orders on May 19, 2020, as authorized by the City Council.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
requirements pursuant to Sections 15250 of the CEQA Guidelines, as the plan defined
in the California Coastal Commission Consent Orders includes mitigation measures
to minimize any significant adverse effect on the environment;
b) Approve the project Plans and Specifications;
c) Award Contract No. C-8814-1 to SDG Enterprises for the total bid price of $588,024,
and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the contract;
d) Establish a contingency of $59,000 (approximately 10 percent of the total bid) to cover
the cost of unforeseen work not included in the original contract; and
e) Approve Budget Amendment No. 22-056 appropriating $101,066 in increased
expenditures in Account No. 01201938-980000-22M14 from the Capital Improvement
Program Oceanfront Encroachment unappropriated fund balance.

DISCUSSION:
For over 50 years, private property owners with beach -adjacent homes from F Street to
Channel Road (see Location Map, Attachment A) have installed walls and other
hardscape improvements, landscaping (solid red areas in Attachment A), and other
objects such as stepping stones, walkways and irrigation lines, onto the public beach
without authorization under the Coastal Act. Under the Consent Orders (Attachment B)
signed by the California Coastal Commission, the City of Newport Beach (City), and
identified property owners, these encroachments must be removed. Pursuant to the
provisions of the Consent Orders, the City will remove landscaping, ice plant (shown as
solid yellow areas in Attachment A), and unauthorized objects and materials within the
sandy beach area.
In addition to the order for vegetative removal, 12 property owners were ordered to pay
for the removal of hardscape encroachments e.g., walls and patios. As of the time of the
project's advertisement for construction, five property owners had removed, or had
indicated they would soon remove these encroachments. As an option offered to the
seven remaining property owners, seven bid items were included in the City's advertised
bid package to remove the hardscape encroachments at 1320, 1322, 1324, 1400, 1412,
1514 and 1516 East Oceanfront. Since receiving the bids, 1516 E. Oceanfront has
removed their encroachments. SDG bid $7,500 for each of these items for a total of
$52,500. Each of these property owners has been notified and has the option to provide
the City payment to have SDG remove the encroachments at the bid item cost. To
exercise this option, each property owner will have to execute an agreement with the City
and provide payment, which will be deposited into a contribution account.
For any property owner who does not elect to have the City contractor remove the
encroachments, per the Section 5.10 of the Consent Orders, that property owner is
required to remove the (hardscape) encroachments adjacent to his property by June 30,
2023. Under this scenario, the Encroachment Permit issued to the property owner will
also condition the owner to plant the area where the encroachments were removed. If a
property owner fails to remove the encroachments adjacent to his property by June 30,
2023, per Section 5.3 of the Consent Orders, "City is authorized by the Commission to
take any and all actions necessary to complete this work and the applicable homeowners
shall be liable to the City for all reasonable costs associated in any way with performing
said work."
Pursuant to Section 15250 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section
21080.5 of the Public Resources Code provides that a regulatory program of a state
agency shall be certified by the California Secretary of Natural Resources as being
exempt from the requirements for preparing Environmental Impact Reports, negative
declarations, and initial studies if the Secretary finds that the program meets the criteria
contained in Section 21080.5. Pursuant to CEQA Section 15251, the California Coastal
Commission regulatory program dealing with the consideration and granting of coastal
development permits under the California Coastal Act of 1976, Division 20 (commencing
with Section 30000) of the Public Resources Code, has been certified by the California
Secretary of Natural Resources as meeting the requirements of Section 21080.5(c).

As the plan (Attachment B) defined in the California Coastal Commission Consent Orders
includes a description of the proposed activity with alternatives to the activity, and
mitigation measures to minimize any significant adverse effect on the environment of the
activity, pursuant to California Code, Public Resources Code — Section 21080.5, this plan
may be submitted in lieu of the CEQA requirements as the California Secretary of Natural
Resources has certified the regulatory program pursuant to Section 21080.5. As required
by California Public Resources Section 21080.5(E), the California Coastal Commission
filed a notice of its decision for the Peninsula Encroachment Removal Project with the
California Secretary of Natural Resources (Attachment C).
Construction documents for this project, prepared by the Public Works Department and
based on a planning document prepared by a consultant under contract to the Community
Development Department, were advertised using PlanetBids on March 3, 2022. At
10 a.m. on April 7, 2022, the City Clerk opened and read the following bids for this project:

The bid amount submitted by the low bidder, SDG Enterprises (SDG), is two percent
lower than the Engineer's Estimate of $600,000. SDG possesses a California "C27"
Landscaping License, as required by the project specifications.
As this project is rather unique, it was not expected that any contractor could provide
examples of similar projects. Therefore, in checking SDG's references, City staff looked
for, and found sufficient evidence that SDG has logistics experience for moving
equipment in and out of confined project areas adjacent to residential homes, for
mobilizing appropriate skilled workers to excavate and remove landscaping, and for
stockpiling and chipping material for daily haul -off of materials for offsite disposal. All
contacted references stated that SDG senior personnel frequently visited the construction
site to observe performance of its crews. Additionally, City staff requested, and received
from SDG, a preliminary work plan describing the steps it planned to perform and the
equipment that would be used to execute the contract. Staff notes that Mr. Ethan
Darrison, vice president of SDG, stated SDG staff had been out to the project site four
times before submitting its bid, and SDG senior management intended to come out to the
site multiple times each week during construction.
The work necessary for the completion of this contract consists of:
1. Project preparation including submittals for City review.
2. Setting up staging area.
3. Furnishing and installing informational signage.
4. Delineating pedestrian and vehicle access routes on beach.
5. Delineating and fencing sensitive habitat areas around the project area. Note:
fencing for the snowy plover area is not a part of this project.

6. Implementing stormwater best management practices (BMPs) specified in the Storm
Water Pollution Prevention Plan, over the extent of the project area, for the entire
construction period.
7. Removing trees for off -site disposal.
8. Removing ice plant, sod, ornamental vegetation, and other non-native plants with
off -site disposal.
9. Selectively removing non-native plants intermixed with native plants.
10. Removing dirt, soil and other non -sand landscaping materials with off -site disposal.
11. Removing hardscape encroachments, at addresses identified in the California
Coastal Commission's Consent Orders, with off -site disposal at an approved facility.
12. Installing hydroseed in two batches prior to installing plants.
13. Installing biodegradable jute netting.
14. Installing container plants
15. Installing temporary post and rope fencing along the perimeter of the restoration
areas.
16. Monitoring, watering, maintaining seeded areas, plants, and maintaining erosion and
stabilization control measures throughout the 120-day Maintenance and Plant
Establishment Period. Note that after the completion of the Maintenance and Plant
Establishment task, as required by the Consent Orders, City will initiate a separate
contract for a contractor to monitoring and maintain the restoration area for a five-
year period.
Based on the references checks and the SDG management's stated understanding of the
critical aspects of the project, City staff determine that SDG's previous experience is
adequate and satisfactory and recommends award of this contract to SDG. The
specifications allow for 90 working days in order to complete the work prior to expected
rains in January. Mr. Darrison stated that he estimates a construction time of 65 to 70
working days. Upon approval of this construction contract, a Notice to Proceed will be
issued so that the contractor will begin work on the beach after Labor Day 2022. The
project specifications and drawing exhibits will be available for review at the May 24, 2022
City Council meeting or upon request.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The awarded contract cost of $595,524 includes the cost of all work necessary to comply
with the executed Consent Order, including removal of improvements that are defined to
be the responsibility of the seven adjacent property owners (who have not yet completed
their directed removals) should they elect the City to do the work on their behalf. If the
City undertakes said work for the property owners, the City will receive up to $52,500 in
payment from these property owners as a contribution back against the cost of the project.
Upon approval of the proposed budget amendment sufficient funding will be available
from the current Capital Improvement Program budget for the award of this contract.
Contract costs will be expensed from the Oceanfront Encroachment Account. Oceanfront
encroachment revenue is generated from an annual permit fee collected from private
property owners whose property encroaches onto the public right-of-way.

for in Section 5.3, below, implement the Encroachment Removal and Restoration Plan prepared
by Glenn Lukos Associates, Inc., for the City dated January 21, 2020, which is attached as Exhibit
B to these Consent Orders, as revised as necessary to be consistent with the terms in this section
below (hereinafter referred to as the "Restoration Plan"). Within 30 days of issuance of these
Consent Orders, the City shall submit a proposal for such revised Restoration Plan for the review
and approval of the Executive Director of the Commission ("Executive Director"). Except as
provided in Section 5.9, once the Restoration Plan is approved, the City shall have discretion, upon
the approval of the Executive Director, to determine who performs the work required by and in
compliance with the terms and conditions of the Restoration Plan including, but not limited to, the
use of the City's own employees. The Commission recognizes that substantial cost savings can
be achieved through the utilization of the City's own forces and one of the goals of these Consent
Orders is to ensure the full implementation of the Restoration Plan in an efficient manner without
the City having to incur unnecessary costs. The City shall ensure all work undertaken pursuant to
the Restoration Plan shall, at a minimum, be monitored by a qualified specialist, as described in
Section 5.9, below.
5.2 The Restoration Plan shall set forth the measures that the City proposes to use to remove
all of the Encroachments in the area depicted in the rendering attached hereto as Exhibit C, which
includes all areas other than those Encroachments set forth in the next sub -section, and to restore
said area to appropriate natural habitat consisting of beach strand and southern foredune habitat.
The discussion of Existing Native Plant Communities shall take into account the presence of
southern foredune habitat in the area and all aspects of the Restoration Plan shall be drafted with
consideration of dune habitat in the project area.
5.3 In addition to the portions of the Encroachments that the City proposes to remove or cause
the removal of through implementation of the Restoration Plan, the Restoration Plan shall describe
the measures the City proposes to use to cause the removal of the Encroachments located adjacent
to the private properties with postal addresses 1320, 1322, 1324, 1400, 1412, 1504, 1510, 1514,

complete this work and the applicable homeowners shall be liable to the City for all reasonable
costs associated in any way with performing said work.
5.4 The City shall, subject to the terms of these Consent Orders, and consistent with the
Restoration Plan, remove or cause the removal of any physical materials or structures placed on
the Properties after the effective date of these Consent Orders and restore the impacted area to
appropriate natural habitat consisting of beach strand and southern foredune habitat. Nothing in
this agreement precludes the City from seeking compensation from the responsible party(ies) for
12-11
City of Newport Beach Consent Orders
Page 4 of 10
costs the City incurs in the removal of any future encroachments from the Properties, with the
"responsible party(ies)" being the parties that caused such encroachments to exist and "future
encroachments" being encroachments placed on the Properties without a Coastal Development
Permit after the effective date of these Consent Orders. Nor is the Commission precluded from
addressing future encroachments as violations of the Coastal Act.
5.5 The Restoration Plan shall include a map of proposed staging areas and access and haul
routes for encroachment removal work. These activities must avoid existing habitat areas, other
than areas covered by the Restoration Plan.
5.6 The Restoration Plan shall indicate that removal of the Encroachments will be undertaken
in a manner that does not block, impede, or disrupt use of the public beach and other public areas,
except that any disruption of public use of the beach will be limited to the installation of temporary
habitat fencing during habitat restoration, and minimal, temporary disruption of access as a result
of equipment staging. The Restoration Plan shall propose placement of temporary symbolic
fencing, consisting of stakes and rope, around native plant container planting zones, as generally
depicted on Exhibit 6 of the Restoration Plan, during the plant establishment period.
5.7 The Restoration Plan shall include installation of informational signage, to be displayed
while the Restoration Plan is being implemented, including during the monitoring period, that
identifies and describes habitat in the project area.

14.1 Each of the Parties is required to perform work, make payments or take action as required
of them by these Consent Orders in strict conformance with the terms and conditions of these
Consent Orders. Failure to comply with any term of these Consent Orders required of such party,
including any deadline contained in these Consent Orders, unless the Executive Director grants an
extension under Section 15, will constitute a violation of these Consent Orders and shall result in
the responsible part(ies) being liable for stipulated penalties in the amount of $500 per day per
violation. The non -compliant party or parties shall pay stipulated penalties within 15 days of the
date of the written demand by the Commission for such penalties, regardless of whether the non-
compliant party or parties have subsequently complied.
14.2 If the non -compliant Party or Parties do not comply with the agreed -upon terms of these
Consent Orders, nothing in this agreement shall be construed as prohibiting, altering, or in any
way limiting the ability of the Commission to seek any other remedies available, in addition those
remedies set forth in the prior paragraph, including the imposition of civil penalties and other
remedies pursuant to Public Resources Code Sections 30803, 30805, 30820, 30821, 30821.6, and
30822, as a result of the lack of compliance with these Consent Orders and for the underlying
Coastal Act violations as described herein.
15 DEADLINES
Prior to the expiration of any of the deadlines established by these Consent Orders, the City may
request from the Executive Director an extension of that deadline. Such a request shall be made
no fewer than 10 days in advance of the deadline and directed to the Executive Director, in care of
Andrew Willis at the address identified in Section 8, above.
The Executive Director may grant an extension of deadlines upon a showing of good cause, either
if the Executive Director determines that the City has diligently worked to comply with its
obligations under these Consent Orders but cannot meet deadlines due to unforeseen circumstances
beyond its control, or if the Executive Director determines that any deadlines should be extended
if additional time would benefit the success of the obligations under these Consent Orders.

16 SEVERABILITY
Should any provision of these Consent Orders be found invalid, void or unenforceable, such
illegality or unenforceability shall not invalidate the whole, but these Consent Orders shall be
construed as if the provision(s) containing the illegal or unenforceable part were not a part hereof.
17 SITE ACCESS
The Properties consist of public beach, thus there are no limitations on Commission staff access
to the site and the Parties agree not to preclude access to the public beach areas, except in the
limited and specific instances provided herein. Nothing in these Consent Orders is intended to limit
in any way the right of entry or inspection that Commission staff or any agency may otherwise
have by operation of any law.
18 GOVERNMENT LIABILITIES
Neither the State of California, the Commission, nor its employees shall be liable for injuries or
damages to persons or property resulting from acts or omissions by the City in carrying out

its employees be held as a party to any contract entered into by City or its agents in carrying out
activities pursuant to these Consent Orders.
19 SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS
19.1 In light of the intent of the Parties to resolve these matters in settlement, the Private Parties

obligated to pay, as listed in Appendix A, and in lieu of payment of a monetary penalty, the City
has agreed to be responsible for, at its sole cost, except as provided for in Section 5.3, above,
ensuring implementation of the Restoration Plan. The Private Parties listed in Appendix A shall
submit the amount that they are obligated to pay, as listed in Appendix A, in 1 payment per party,
within 1 year of the effective date of these Consent Orders. The settlement monies shall be
deposited in the Violation Remediation Account of the California Coastal Conservancy Fund (see
PRC§ 30823), for the purpose of providing public access improvements or undertaking or
maintaining habitat restoration in coastal Orange County, preferably in the City of Newport Beach,
and preferably, including, but not limited to, such projects as undertaking dune habitat restoration,
providing additional public access and supporting efforts to protect the Western Snowy Plover,
including through protecting the plover and its habitat from disturbance. The settlement monies
shall be submitted to the Commission's Long Beach office, at the address provided in Section 8,
above, to the attention of Andrew Willis, payable to the Violation Remediation Account of the
California State Coastal Conservancy Fund, and shall include a reference to these Consent Orders
by number.

claims for relief the Commission may have against the Parties with respect to the violations of the
Coastal Act specifically enumerated in Section 4.3, above, occurring prior to the date of these

Consent Orders, (specifically including claims for civil penalties, fines, or damages under the
Coastal Act, including under PRC Sections 30805, 30820, 30821, and 30822), with the exception
that, if the Parties fail to comply with any term or condition of these Consent Orders, the
Commission may seek monetary or other claims for both the underlying violations of the Coastal
Act and for the violations of these Consent Orders against the non -compliant party. In addition,
the Consent Agreement does not limit the Commission from taking enforcement action due to
Coastal Act violations at the Properties or elsewhere, other than those specified herein, or which
occur after the date of these Consent Orders.
20 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

and therefore shall remain in effect until all terms are fulfilled.

between the Executive Director and the City. Otherwise, except as provided in Section 15, above,

procedures set forth in Section 13188(b) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.
22 GOVERNMENTAL JURISDICTION
These Consent Orders shall be interpreted, construed, governed, and enforced under and pursuant
to the laws of the State of California.

(PRC Sections 30800 to 30824), including the authority to require and enforce compliance with
these Consent Orders and the authority to take enforcement action regarding Coastal Act violations

Re: Peninsula Encroachment Removal and Restoration Plan
Dear Neighbor,
As you likely know, the City, under Consent Orders (attached) from the California Coastal Commission, is
responsible for restoring the beach areas adjacent to private properties from F Street to Channel Road.
The City is preparing construction documents to clear the beach of invasive trees, shrubs, lawns, and
other non-native plants, as well as other miscellaneous materials, like stepping stones, and then
restoring the cleared beach areas with native plants and a hydroseed mix composed of native seeds.
Jute netting would also be employed to stabilize the cleared areas while the plants are establishing
roots. The project is unusual and we want to keep your apprised of our plans.
A common concern for many property owners is the potential for increased sand movement once the
area is cleared of the non-native vegetation. To better address this concern, the City will propose to the
Coastal Commission a modification to the preliminarily approved plan as follows.
All vegetation would be removed at one time using mechanical methods over a 4- to 6-week
period. The cleared areas would immediately be planted and then hydroseeded with 100%
coverage. The hydroseed mix includes a binder, a botanical glue used in hydroseeding, to
stabilize the sand in the cleared beach areas. Additionally, the City is recommending covering
the hydroseeded areas with a jute netting that would biodegrade in 12 months. Once the seed
germinates and begins stabilizing the restored beach areas, the seeded area will be allowed to
naturally diminish to provide open sand spaces as determined by the Coastal Commission. The
removals would initiate in September 2022 with the project restoration substantially complete
within 4 months. The project would then move into a 5-year monitoring and maintenance
program, which may include additional seeding, watering and removal of invasive plants.
The City's proposed Restoration Plan will soon be posted on the City's website.
With Coastal Commission's approval, the City plans to advertise the project for construction in May
2022 with the construction project award in July 2022. The selected contractor would then begin work
in September.
Prior to the contractor's start of work, residents are requested to hand carry any furniture/objects from
the site that they wish to salvage. Irrigation lines should be cut at the property line and capped off.
Please note that vehicles are never allowed onto the beach without City permit.
The Coastal Commission's Consent Orders do require twelve properties to remove (hardscape)
encroachments that extend beyond their property line onto the public beach. (See Section 5.3 of the
attached.) A separate letter will be sent to each of the addressed identified in the Consent Orders to
describe options for the removal of these encroachments.

free to contact me (949)-644-3322 or Jim Houlihan (jhoulihan@newportbeachca.gov), Project Director.
