FROM: David A. Webb, Public Works Director - 949-644-3311,

TITLE: Approval of Professional Services Agreement with Tait and
Associates, Inc. for the 15th Street Restroom Replacement Project
(Project No. 23F11)
ABSTRACT:
The City of Newport Beach (City) issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the 1511 Street
Restroom Replacement Project. The existing public restrooms, located at the end of 15th
Street, have been identified as in need of replacement. Staff requests City Council
approval to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with Tait and Associates, Inc.
for a not -to -exceed fee of $188,760.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because
this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly;
and
b) Approve a Professional Services Agreement with Tait and Associates, Inc. of Santa
Ana, California, for the 15th Street Restroom Replacement Project for a not -to -exceed
amount of $188,760, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the
Agreement.
DISCUSSION:
The 15th Street restroom is located approximately 100 feet oceanward of the street end
at 15th Street on the Newport Peninsula. Along with the restrooms at the Newport and
Balboa Piers, the 15th Street restrooms serve thousands of residents and visitors that use
the Ocean Front Walk.
The restroom facility was originally built in 1956. It was remodeled in 1987 and 2001. The
Facility Condition Assessment completed in August 2021 found that the restroom suffers
from considerable deficiencies due to its location next to the ocean and continual heavy
usage.

These issues include extensive degradation of the wood members, rusting of all metal
surfaces, damaged ceramic tiles, toilet partitions in need of replacement, sanitary piping
rusted, clogged, and pitted, and a roof in very poor condition. The assessment rated the
restroom as requiring rehabilitation costing several times the assessed value of the
building, therefore, replacement was recommended.
On June 30, 2022, staff issued an RFP to provide for the design of a replacement
restroom facility. Proposals were evaluated based on the consultant's project
understanding, experience, qualifications, and projected level of effort. Two responses
were received to the RFP with only one responsive, Tait and Associates, Inc. Tait and
Associates, Inc. demonstrated previous experience with public projects and oceanside
amenities.
The design will include a conceptual design phase with multiple conceptual plans,
renderings, and public outreach; a permitting phase with building permit and Coastal Act
clearances; a final design phase to develop the construction documents; and a
construction support phase with construction anticipated to begin in fall of 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for this project is included in the $200,000 budget approved with the Fiscal Year
2022-23 Capital Improvement Program. Future funding for this project is projected to be
an additional $600,000 for construction. It will be expensed to the Facility Financing Plan:
Parks and Community Centers in the Public Works Department (56201-980000-23F11).
The Facilities Financing Plan was created to allow for the construction and rehabilitation
of City facilities. The consultant's proposed not -to -exceed fee for this project is $188,760.
=1ki1V1-Tel kiIJil=I'klkrAIIIII:IAVAIA►ITS
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not
result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment)
and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of
the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).

9.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall indemnify, defend

and all claims (including, without limitation, claims for bodily injury, death or damage to
property), demands, obligations, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, losses,
judgments, fines, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees, disbursements and court costs) of every kind and nature whatsoever
(individually, a Claim; collectively, "Claims"), and which relate (directly or indirectly) to the
negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Consultant or its principals, officers,
agents, employees, vendors, suppliers, subconsultants, subcontractors, anyone
employed directly or indirectly by any of them or for whose acts they may be liable, or any
or all of them.
9.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to require
Consultant to indemnify the Indemnified Parties from any Claim arising from the sole
negligence, active negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. Nothing in
this indemnity shall be construed as authorizing any award of attorneys' fees in any action
on or to enforce the terms of this Agreement. This indemnity shall apply to all claims and
liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do
not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by the
Consultant.
10. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
It is understood that City retains Consultant on an independent contractor basis
and Consultant is not an agent or employee of City. The manner and means of
conducting the Work are under the control of Consultant, except to the extent they are
limited by statute, rule or regulation and the expressed terms of this Agreement. No civil
service status or other right of employment shall accrue to Consultant or its employees.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute approval for Consultant or any
of Consultant's employees or agents, to be the agents or employees of City. Consultant
shall have the responsibility for and control over the means of performing the Work,
provided that Consultant is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Anything in
this Agreement that may appear to give City the right to direct Consultant as to the details
Tait & Associates, Inc. Page 4
9-7
of the performance of the Work or to exercise a measure of control over Consultant shall
mean only that Consultant shall follow the desires of City with respect to the results of the
Services.

Project Administrator and any other agencies that may have jurisdiction or interest in the
Work to be performed. City agrees to cooperate with the Consultant on the Project.

direction with City's Project Administrator in advance of all critical decision points in order
to ensure the Project proceeds in a manner consistent with City goals and policies.

regular basis regarding the status and progress of the Project, activities performed and
planned, and any meetings that have been scheduled or are desired.

of Work, Consultant shall obtain, provide and maintain at its own expense during the term
of this Agreement or for other periods as specified in this Agreement, policies of insurance
of the type, amounts, terms and conditions described in the Insurance Requirements
attached hereto as Exhibit C, and incorporated herein by reference.
15. PROHIBITION AGAINST ASSIGNMENTS AND TRANSFERS
Except as specifically authorized under this Agreement, the Services to be
provided under this Agreement shall not be assigned, transferred contracted or
subcontracted out without the prior written approval of City. Any of the following shall be
construed as an assignment: The sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of any
of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Consultant, or of the interest of any general
partner or joint venturer or syndicate member or cotenant if Consultant is a partnership or
joint -venture or syndicate or co -tenancy, which shall result in changing the control of
Consultant. Control means fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power or twenty-five
percent (25%) or more of the assets of the corporation, partnership or joint -venture.
16. SUBCONTRACTING
The subcontractors authorized by City, if any, to perform Work on this Project are
identified in Exhibit A. Consultant shall be fully responsible to City for all acts and
omissions of any subcontractor. Nothing in this Agreement shall create any contractual
relationship between City and any subcontractor nor shall it create any obligation on the
part of City to pay or to see to the payment of any monies due to any such subcontractor
Tait & Associates, Inc. Page 5

other than as otherwise required by law. City is an intended beneficiary of any Work
performed by the subcontractor for purposes of establishing a duty of care between the

or subcontracted out without the prior written approval of City.

all liability arising out of changes made to Consultant's deliverables under this Agreement
by City or persons other than Consultant is waived against Consultant, and City assumes

18. OPINION OF COST
Any opinion of the construction cost prepared by Consultant represents the
Consultant's judgment as a design professional and is supplied for the general guidance
of City. Since Consultant has no control over the cost of labor and material, or over
competitive bidding or market conditions, Consultant does not guarantee the accuracy of
such opinions as compared to Consultant or contractor bids or actual cost to City.

communications that result from the Services in this Agreement, shall be kept confidential
unless City expressly authorizes in writing the release of information.

under this Agreement.
22. WITHHOLDINGS

the dispute with respect to such payment. Such withholding shall not be deemed to
constitute a failure to pay according to the terms of this Agreement. Consultant shall not
discontinue Work as a result of such withholding. Consultant shall have an immediate
right to appeal to the City Manager or designee with respect to such disputed sums.
Consultant shall be entitled to receive interest on any withheld sums at the rate of return

23. ERRORS AND OMISSIONS
In the event of errors or omissions that are due to the negligence or professional
inexperience of Consultant which result in expense to City greater than what would have
resulted if there were not errors or omissions in the Work accomplished by Consultant,

Consultant. Nothing in this Section is intended to limit City's rights under the law or any
other sections of this Agreement.

shall deliver to City all reports, Documents and other information developed or

29. PREVAILING WAGES

Work contemplated under the Agreement shall be paid to all workmen employed on the
Work to be done according to the Agreement by the Consultant and any subcontractor.

wage determinations from the Department of Industrial Relations and post at the job site
the prevailing rate or per diem wages. It shall be the obligation of the Consultant or any
subcontractor under him/her to comply with all State of California labor laws, rules and
regulations and the parties agree that the City shall not be liable for any violation thereof.
29.2 Unless otherwise exempt by law, Consultant warrants that no contractor or
subcontractor was listed on the bid proposal for the Services that it is not currently
registered and qualified to perform public work. Consultant further warrants that it is
currently registered and qualified to perform "public work" pursuant to California Labor
Code section 1725.5 or any successor statute thereto and that no contractor or
subcontractor will engage in the performance of the Services unless currently registered
and qualified to perform public work.

and correct and are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

county, state and federal laws, rules, regulations and permit requirements and be subject
to approval of the Project Administrator and City.

Consultant's compensation.
C. Right to Review Subcontracts. Consultant agrees that upon request, all
agreements with subcontractors or others with whom Consultant enters into
contracts with on behalf of City will be submitted to City for review. Failure

limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage,
limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided
by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for
purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not
intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of
other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Consultant maintains higher
limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be
entitled to coverage for higher limits maintained by the Consultant. Any
available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of
insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.

approved by City.
G. City Remedies for Non -Compliance. If Consultant or any subconsultant fails
to provide and maintain insurance as required herein, then City shall have
the right but not the obligation, to purchase such insurance, to terminate this
Agreement, or to suspend Consultant's right to proceed until proper
evidence of insurance is provided. Any amounts paid by City shall, at City's
sole option, be deducted from amounts payable to Consultant or reimbursed
by Consultant upon demand.
H. Timely Notice of Claims. Consultant shall give City prompt and timely notice
of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant's
performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve
coverage under any of the required liability policies. City assumes no
obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to
monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve
City.
Consultant's Insurance. Consultant shall also procure and maintain, at its
own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own
judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the
Work.
