TITLE: Approval of Professional Services Agreement with Stantec
Consulting Services, Inc. (Contract No. 8925-1) for East Coast
Highway and San Miguel Drive Pavement Rehabilitation
(Project No. 23R11)
ABSTRACT:
As part of the City of Newport Beach's (City's) Pavement Management Plan, East Coast
Highway from Jamboree Road to MacArthur Boulevard, and San Miguel Drive from
Newport Center Drive to MacArthur Boulevard, are scheduled for pavement rehabilitation
in Fiscal Year 2023-24. Staff requests City Council approval to enter into a Professional
Services Agreement with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. to prepare the necessary
construction documents.
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 Stantec Consulting, Inc. of Irvine,
CA, for the East Coast Highway and San Miguel Drive Pavement Rehabilitation project
for a total not -to -exceed amount of $301,541, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk
to execute the Agreement.
DISCUSSION:
East Coast Highway from Jamboree Road to MacArthur Boulevard is a major arterial with
six travel lanes. This arterial was previously rehabilitated by the State of California
Department of Transportation (Caltrans) approximately 20 years ago. Caltrans
relinquished East Coast Highway from Jamboree Road to Newport Coast Drive to the
City in 2004. San Miguel Drive from Newport Center Drive to MacArthur Boulevard is a
primary arterial with four travel lanes. San Miguel Drive was originally constructed in 1969
and underwent routine slurry seal maintenance. San Miguel Drive was widened in 2010
in preparation of the new City Civic Center. The pavement condition for both of these
arterials has deteriorated and is now in need of rehabilitation.

As part of the City's Pavement Management Plan, East Coast Highway and San Miguel
Drive are scheduled to be rehabilitated in Fiscal Year 2023-24. In order to meet this
schedule, construction documents will need to be prepared in the current fiscal year.
Proposed improvements on both arterials involve cold milling and overlaying the existing
asphalt concrete pavement with new rubberized asphalt concrete pavement;
reconstructing deteriorated concrete sidewalks, curbs, gutters and access ramps;
adjusting utility boxes to grade; installing new traffic signs; restriping the pavement; and
other appurtenant items of work.
Staff recently issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for professional engineering services
and received four proposals. The proposals were reviewed by a three -person technical
panel. The scoring for the proposals is as follows:

The preparation of construction documents for pavement rehabilitation projects is
relatively similar for all arterials. Although all four proposers demonstrated the ability to
complete the scope of services as outlined in the RFP, Stantec Consulting Services, Inc.
received the highest score based on its project understanding, previous experience with
similar projects, and its proposed design team. In addition, Stantec Consulting Services,
Inc. has successfully completed similar projects for other local agencies as well as for the
City of Newport Beach. Therefore, staff recommends approving a professional services
agreement with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. to complete the final design efforts for
the East Coast Highway and San Miguel Drive Pavement Rehabilitation project.
The proposed scope of work includes project management; research and data collection;
utility coordination; field surveying services and base mapping; geotechnical testing and
preparation of a pavement report; preparation of final construction plans; roadway design
cross sections; specifications and construction cost estimates; construction support
services; and preparation of as -built drawings. Construction is tentatively planned for the
beginning of 2024. Since the scope of work for both arterials is very similar in nature, the
construction documents will be combined into one package to expedite and reduce design
efforts and to save construction costs due to the economy of scale.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The adopted Capital Improvement Program budget includes sufficient funding for this
service. It will be expensed to the Neighborhood Enhancement Fund in the Public Works
Department, 53601-980000-23R11 ($250,000) and 53601-980000-23R13 ($60,000).
The Neighborhood Enhancement Fund (536) is surplus general funds as allocated by City
Council policy and is typically used for projects that enhance neighborhood aesthetics,
functionality and improved quality of life. The consultant's proposed not -to -exceed fee for
this service is $301,541.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
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.

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
Stantec Consulting Services Inc. Page 4 10-8
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
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.
11. COOPERATION
Consultant agrees to work closely and cooperate fully with City's designated

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

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
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
subcontractor and City. Except as specifically authorized herein, the Services to be

or subcontracted out without the prior written approval of City.

to use such materials in its discretion without further compensation to Consultant or any
other party. Additionally, all material posted in cyberspace by Consultant, its officers,
employees, agents and subcontractors, in the course of implementing this Agreement,

Consultant will be at City's sole risk and without liability to Consultant. Further, any and
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
full responsibility for such changes unless City has given Consultant prior notice and has
received from Consultant written consent for such changes.

Stantec Consulting Services Inc. Page 6 10-10

digital 'As -Built' drawings in both AutoCAD and Adobe PDF file format within thirty (30)
days after finalization of the Project.
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.
19. CONFIDENTIALITY

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

performed under this Agreement. Consultant shall maintain complete and accurate

22. WITHHOLDINGS
City may withhold payment to Consultant of any disputed sums until satisfaction of
the dispute with respect to such payment. Such withholding shall not be deemed to
Stantec Consulting Services Inc. Page 7 10-11
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
that City earned on its investments during the time period, from the date of withholding of
any amounts found to have been improperly withheld.
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,
the additional design, construction and/or restoration expense shall be borne by
Consultant. Nothing in this Section is intended to limit City's rights under the law or any
other sections of this Agreement.

City reserves the right to employ other Consultants in connection with the Project.

EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task A — Research and Data Collection
Consultant will research and obtain available preliminary engineering reports, record drawings,
assessor's parcel maps, right-of-way maps, street centerline ties, and utility maps for both project
sites. This includes researching available documents on the City's GIS system and reviewing
information obtained from our utility company coordination. As part of this task, Consultant will
also perform field reviews of the sites to evaluate the following:
• Condition of the existing roadway improvements
• Location of any damaged, raised, or sunken curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and other
concrete improvements within the public right-of-way that need to be constructed,
repaired, or brought up to current ADA standards
• Locations of local pavement repairs and drainage deficiencies
• Type and condition of existing signage
• Any additional noteworthy features
Prior to the field review, Consultant will coordinate with you to determine the extent of repairs and
ADA improvements you are planning for this project. During the field walk, Consultant will take
digital photos and document the location of all potential repair locations and any other issues
requiring special attention.
Task B — Utility Coordination
City will distribute the first utility request notices to utility companies in the project area and will
forward Consultant the utility contacts and any utility maps or atlases received. Consultant can
also send these out, if necessary.
The information received will be organized in a utility coordination matrix that will be updated
throughout the project. Consultant will coordinate with the respective utility companies to confirm
ownership, location and depth of facilities, and resolve any conflicts with the new improvements.
Finally, Consultant will determine any utility facilities that may interfere with proposed construction
and coordinate the relocation or adjustment of all utilities impacted by the new construction.
Consultant anticipates distributing three additional notices to the utility companies for this project.
The initial notice will include the 50-percent improvement plans, which will show the location of all
known utilities and any required utility relocations or adjustments. Consultant will ask the utility
companies to confirm the location of their existing facilities and identify any missing facilities or
improvements that are currently being planned. Consultant will confirm the number of utility
adjustments with each utility company, their specific design details, and whether they will have
the City's Contractor perform this work. Consultant will also coordinate any required utility
relocations along with any required work windows.
Comments received will be incorporated into the 90-percent and 100-percent final plans and
Consultant will distribute utility notices for each submittal for review. Consultant will then obtain
written confirmation from each utility company that all comments have been addressed and the
plans are acceptable.
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. Page A-1 10-17
Consultant will identify utilities to be protected in -place, adjusted to grade or relocated and ensure
that all utility improvements follow the specific utility company's standards.
Task C — Design Surveying
Consultant's surveyors will establish horizontal and vertical survey control and perform a design
survey to document the existing site topography and planimetrics within the area of proposed
improvements The design survey will include cross sections at 25-foot intervals (right-of-way to
right -of- way, with 1-foot contours) to locate visible surface improvements and surface utilities
within the surrey limits. Consultant assumes the existing right-of-way is the back of sidewalk
based on available records. The survey limits will include both East Coast Highway from
Jamboree Road to MacArthur Boulevard (+/- 6,500 LF) and San Miguel Drive from Newport
Center Drive to MacArthur Boulevard (+/- 1,600 LF), and they will extend approximately 50-feet
in all directions beyond the limits of work at all intersections.
As part of the design survey, Consultant will observe monuments to retrace the centerlines and
rights -of -way of East Coast Highway and San Miguel Drive within the project limits. The results
will be incorporated into the base map illustrating existing right-of-way conditions. This will not be
a full and complete boundary survey of the adjacent land parcels and the right-of-way lines will
be approximate; based on a combination of found survey monuments, record survey drawings,
as -built plans, and City GIS data. Survey monuments located and indicated on the survey will be
limited to primary controlling centerline monuments found along East Coast Highway and San
Miguel Drive. Existing monumentation will be shown the improvement plans, where found.
However, Consultant assumes that Corner Records will be filed by the Contractor's surveyor as
required by the Special Provisions.
Task D — Signing and Striping Inventory
Consultant will conduct a field inventory of the existing signing and striping for both sites. This
inventory will include documenting (with photos, field measurements and "GoPro" video) the
existing striping, pavement markings, and signs. The size and condition of the existing signs will
also be documented, and any missing signs will be noted. This information will be combined with
the existing topography and utility bases to create a 30-Percent Base Map plan as part of Task F
- Base Mapping.
Task E — Pavement Report
The Subconsultant will perform the field work, laboratory testing, and pavement engineering
analysis required to prepare a Pavement Report for East Coast Highway and San Miguel Drive.
Testing and recommendations for the existing AC bike trail on East Coast Highway are not
included. We have included the Traffic Index (TI) Calculation and Ground Penetrating Radar
Testing and Analysis as Optional Tasks. ROM estimates will also be provided for the various
pavement repair and rehabilitation recommendations outlined in the Pavement Report
Pavement Engineering
Document Review and Dig Alert Coordination
The Subconsultant will perform a document review of existing as -built drawings and past
geotechnical/pavement reports obtained during our research and data collection. The information
gathered from this review will be considered in the analysis (i.e., existing pavement section
thicknesses, date of last pavement improvement work, etc.). Pavement coring locations will be
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. Pal10-18
g
marked and Dig Alert (Underground Service Alert) will be notified to assess potential conflicts with
known underground utilities prior to performing pavement corings.
Deflection Testing and Analysis
Non-destructive pavement deflection testing will be performed by the Subconsultant in
accordance with California Test 356. Deflection testing involves applying an impact load
(simulating truck traffic) and measuring the corresponding deflection response. Generally, lower
deflection readings indicate a stronger pavement section whereas higher deflection
measurements indicate weaker pavement section.
Benefits of deflection testing include
• Allowing the in -place structural capacity to be determined and analyzed.
• Identification of potential weak areas that visual surface inspection cannot.
• Compared to pavement repair recommendations derived primarily from coring data and
subgrade R-value tests, performing deflection testing and analysis of deflection data
often allows more cost-effective pavement repair recommendations to be developed.
Deflection testing will be performed at 200-foot intervals. Each deflection test point will be geo-
referenced using a sub -meter accuracy GPS system. The tests will be staggered between the
lanes in both directions of travel to increase the coverage of each section. The approximate total
number of test points is 240. Two (2) day of pavement deflection testing will be performed. Work
on both East Coast Highway and San Miguel will be performed during the day. Moving closure
traffic control (traffic control truck with arrow boards) following behind the deflection testing
equipment will be utilized. Consultant assumes that traffic control plans or a Caltrans
Encroachment Permit will not be required.
Subsurface Exploration
The Subconsultant will obtain an encroachment permit from the City for the proposed subsurface
exploration. Consultant has assumed permits from other agencies are not required.
The Subconsultant will perform a total of 12 to 14 pavement corings, and assume two (2) days of
work. Subsurface exploration will be performed to a maximum depth of four feet (4) below the top
of the existing asphalt surface using an electric -powered core drill. Sampling and digging below
the AC section will be performed using hand tools. The thickness of the existing asphalt concrete
(AC) and aggregate base (AB), if present, will be recorded. Paving fabric and underlying PCC will
be documented, if encountered. Bulk samples of the subgrade soil will be collected. Upon
completion of the sampling, the core hole will be backfilled with soil cuttings or other suitable
backfill materials and capped with asphalt concrete cold patch, which we assume is acceptable.
Work on both East Coast Highway and San Miguel will be performed during the day. Traffic control
will consist of single lane closures, performed in accordance with the WATCH Manual, and will
consist of cones and arrow boards that will redirect vehicles around our work zone. We have
assumed that stand-alone traffic control plans or a Caltrans Encroachment Permit will not be
required.
Laboratory Testing
The Subconsultant will perform laboratory testing of the samples collected from the pavement
corings in their in-house Caltrans certified pavement materials laboratory. The exact type and
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. Page A-3 10-19
quantity of tests will be dependent on the conditions encountered. Testing may include the
following (The exact type and quantity of tests will be dependent on the conditions encountered):
• R-value testing
• Maximum density and optimum moisture content
• Laboratory soil classification (Atterberg Limits and Percent Passing No. 200 Sieve)
• Sulfate content
• In -place moisture content
Laboratory tests to develop mix design recommendations (i.e., cold or hot in -place recycled AC,
full -depth reclamation with cement treatment, etc.) are not included in the proposed laboratory
testing program.
Pavement Engineering Analysis
Pavement engineering analysis will be performed in accordance with the Caltrans Highway
Design Manual. Caltrans AC design methodology consists of two primary design procedures. For
complete reconstruction strategies (or patches), Caltrans methodology considers the relationship
between the traffic index (TI), subgrade soil strength (through R-value testing), and the gravel
factors of the various pavement layers, to allow us to calculate the required replacement
pavement thicknesses. For rehabilitation strategies (i.e., mill -and overlay, cold/hot in -place
recycling, etc.), Caltrans methodology considers the deflection testing's readings and compares
it to "tolerable" deflections to assess structural adequacy. Variables such as the in -place AC
pavement thickness and design traffic index are factored into the analysis to determine the
required mill -and overlay thickness to achieve structural adequacy. Consultant has included an
optional item to calculate the TI or one can be provided by the City.
Identification of Isolated AC Repair Locations
A Pavement Engineer will identify isolated AC repair locations, based on a combination of factors
such as:
• Type and severity of the pavement surface distress type (i.e., medium- or high -severity
load related distresses such as alligator cracking or depressions).
• Deflection testing data (i.e., areas with exceedingly high deflection measurements).
• Coring data (i.e., areas with inadequately thick in place pavement)
• Laboratory data (i.e., areas with high subgrade moisture content).
The locations will be marked on a plan and provided in the pavement report. Areas highly
recommended for isolated AC repairs (i.e., "must do" areas) will be illustrated in red. Areas that
are recommended for isolated AC repairs (i.e., "on -the -fence") will be illustrated in orange. Ideally,
all red and orange areas should be addressed with an isolated AC repair; however, we understand
that often times, amount of isolated AC repairs will need to be prioritized and this approach allows
flexibility for the design team to do so.
Pavement Evaluation Report
One draft report and one final report will be prepared by the Subconsultant to summarize their
findings and conclusions. The final report will include:
• Summary of information gathered from the document review;
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. Page A-4 10-20
• Project location map;
• Subsurface exploration location map;
• Pavement coring information
• Select photographs of the pavement surface condition;
• Deflection measurement results;
• Ground penetrating radar results (optional task);
• Laboratory testing results;
• Isolated AC repair locations; and,
• Pavement rehabilitation strategy recommendations;
The Subconsultant will provide two (2) pavement repair recommendation options for the City.
Pavement repair alternatives, including the following, shall be proposed:
• Localized AC repairs (patches) followed by mill -and overlay repair using conventional
AC or rubberized AC pavement;
• Cold in -place (CIR) or cold central plant recycled (CCPR) asphalt concrete (AC)
pavement;
• Cement stabilized pulverized base (CSPB) as part of the pavement structural section;
• Cement- or lime -stabilized soils (CSS or LSB) for subgrade stabilization and/or as part of
the pavement structural section;
• Fiber -reinforced asphalt concrete (FRAC) to improve reflective cracking resistance
and/or reduce required AC thickness;
• Rubberized hot -mix asphalt (RHMA or ARHM overlays);
• Geogrid/geotextiles to reduce required aggregate base thickness or to stabilize
subgrade conditions; and more.
The final report will be signed and stamped by a California registered civil engineer.
Pavement Rehabilitation Strategy and Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) Estimate
Consultant will prepare ROM estimates for the various pavement repair and rehabilitation
recommendations outlined in the Pavement Report. These ROM estimates will be compared to
the City's available budget to help select the Preferred Pavement Rehabilitation Strategy for each
road. If necessary, Consultant can value engineer the proposed pavement improvements to best
fit the City's available budget and objectives.
Task F — Base Mapping
Consultant will download and compile the field survey data to create a 30-Percent Base Map plan
which will be verified during our field walk. The plan will include:
• Surface features (curb, gutter, pavement, sidewalk, curb ramps, driveways, trees)
• Visible surface utilities (manholes, water valves, fire hydrants, catch basins, utility boxes,
utility poles, overhead utilities, guy wires, vaults)
• Mapping information (centerlines, right-of-way lines, and property lines)
• Contours generated at 1-foot intervals
In addition, the base map will include an existing utility base drawing which will show all known
underground utility lines within the project limits. Existing utilities will be plotted based on the
record drawings and atlases received from the utility companies and any utility information found
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. Page A-5 10-21
in record drawings during our research. Their locations will be cross checked against the surface
utilities found during our field review to confirm they are shown in the most accurate location
possible.
Finally, the 30-Percent Base Map plan will show the following traffic related items:
• Existing striping configuration, existing pavement marking locations, existing lane widths,
and existing sign locations (type and orientation).
• Recommended signage improvements necessary to meet current CA MUTCD
requirements and locations of existing signs in poor condition which should be replaced.
• Existing traffic signal loop detectors and whether any advanced loop detectors need to
be relocated to meet the current posted speed limit.
Consultant will incorporate any plan check comments received from the City into the improvement
plans.
Task G — Construction Documents
After completing the preliminary engineering efforts, selecting the Preferred Pavement
Rehabilitation Strategy on both streets, and receiving plan check comments on the 30-Percent
Base Map, Consultant will prepare the following plans and supporting documents. Consultant will
submit the plans, engineer's estimate, and design sections with each submittal, and the special
provisions with the 90-percent and 100-percent final design submittals.
Plans
Consultant will prepare a single plan set containing both sites. The plans will be in AutoCAD Civil
3D and in accordance with your design standards.
Title Sheet, Notes, Typical Sections, and Details
The plan set will include a title sheet, using your standard format, with general notes, a vicinity
map, and additional project specific information. The second sheet will show all construction and
disposition notes used and the sheet index for the plans. The plan set will also include sheets for
typical roadway sections, standard details, and smaller scale design details for improvements
such as non-standard curb ramps and commercial driveways. Consultant will include these design
details in the plan set, as necessary, to provide additional information to the contractor.
Roadway Plan and Profile Sheets (1 " = 40)
Roadway plan and profile sheets will be prepared using a 1" = 40' horizontal scale and 1" = 4'
vertical scale. Each sheet will contain a north arrow, scale, match lines, and construction and
disposition notes for all improvements shown on the sheet. The profile views will show the existing
and proposed profiles for any crown lines and the tops of curb or edges of pavement.
The roadway improvements will include removals; pavement rehabilitation improvements;
locations for new and reconstructed curbs, gutters, sidewalks, driveways, and curb ramps; and
existing utilities and utility adjustments/relocations. Consultant assumes that non -compliant
commercial driveway approaches will only be reconstructed if the parkway width is wide enough
to accommodate the new driveway without major impacts to private property improvements.
The plans will clearly show the City right-of-way lines and the construction notes will reference
the appropriate City standard plan. The Standard Plans for Public Work Construction (SPPWC)
and the Caltrans Standard Plans will be used to supplement the City standard plans. The roadway
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. Page A-6 10-22
plans will also include all horizontal and vertical control required to stake and construction the
new improvements.
Roadway Design Sections (Separate Plan Set)
Consultant will build a three-dimensional model of the existing and new roadway improvements
in Civil 3D and plot design sections from this model. The design sections will show the existing
surface, proposed surface, proposed pavement section thicknesses, the existing and proposed
top of curb and/or pavement elevations, and the existing and proposed cross slopes.
The design sections will help us identify and correct typical roadway design issues, such as flat
or excessively steep cross slopes, proper pavement transitions, and areas where we may be
significantly reducing the cover over existing utilities. Since the design sections will be linked to
the design model, they will consistently be up to date.
Using three-dimensional modeling will allow us to efficiently design the roadway improvements
and visually confirm they are designed accurately.
Signing and Striping Sheets (1 " = 40)
The signing and striping plans will include signing, striping, pavement markings, painted curb, and
traffic signal loop detector replacements for East Coast Highway and San Miguel Drive and
intersecting side streets, as required, within the project limits. The plans will be prepared at 1" _
40' scale, "double stacked" with two horizontal layout strips placed on each plan.
The plans will reinstall or modify existing roadway striping and pavement markings based on
markups of the 30-percent Base Map by City staff. The plans will also include the removal of any
conflicting existing striping and pavement markings not obliterated by pavement rehabilitation.
The traffic sign work will be based on information gathered during the Signing and Striping
Inventory. Where appropriate, existing signs within the project limits may be upgraded and new
signs may be proposed to meet current California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA
MUTCD) requirements. Sign details will be prepared for all new custom or modified signs. The
signing and striping plans will also include repainting of existing painted curb markings, as
required, and replacement of impacted traffic signal loop detectors.
Special Provisions
Well -written special provisions reduce the potential for change orders during construction.
Consultant will prepare the project provisions based on your supplied boilerplate and the 2015
edition of the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (SSPWC). The Caltrans
Standard Specifications will also be referenced for the signing and striping improvements.
Consultant's staff will thoroughly review and modify your boilerplate and all relevant sections of
the SSPWC to convey the design intent of our engineers and confirm that the special provisions
do not conflict with the improvement plans. The special provisions will be well coordinated with
the Pavement Report and they will identify all general phasing and traffic control measures
required to be implemented by the contractor to reduce impacts to adjacent properties during
construction. The special provisions will also identify all permits and coordination efforts the
contractor is responsible for during construction. This includes all Caltrans encroachment permit
requirements and specific utility coordination efforts required; including any specific work periods
needing to be provided by the Contractor. Finally, the bid items will be listed, and the work involved
in each item will be clearly described.
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. Page A-7 10-23
Cost Estimate
Consultant understands the importance of a complete and accurate cost estimate. Since the cost
estimate will be used as a basis for the bid schedule, it is important to include all required work
items the Contractor needs to complete as part of the project and that the quantities for these
work items are correct. Accurate quantities and unit costs are also important for you to understand
overall project costs, and to determine if the improvements require value engineering due to the
available budget.
First, Consultant determines the project bid items required based on a thorough review of the
plans and special provisions. Quantities will then be calculated using our proprietary software and
checked using a second calculation method. Consultant will establish unit costs using recently
bid projects and estimated inflation rates. The quantities will be continuously updated with each
plan revision and an updated cost estimate will be provided with all submittals to provide you with
accurate project costs throughout the design.
As -Built Drawings
Preparing accurate as -built drawings is important for your City's future generations. Consultant
will prepare as -built drawings for the project using your preferred format. They will be based on
redlines provided by your inspector and/ or Contractor and will be supplemented with our own
revisions noted during construction. Consultant will provide you a PDF of the as -built drawings
upon completion of construction.
Caltrans Encroachment Permit
Process Caltrans Encroachment Permit for Traffic Control Implementation (Parent Permit)
Consultant will process an encroachment permit through Caltrans District 12 for placement of
temporary construction traffic control devices within state right -of way along East Coast Highway,
west of Jamboree Road. Consultant will prepare and submit, on behalf of the City, a standard
encroachment permit application with applicable plans and supporting documents. Consultant
assumes that that no physical construction will occur within Caltrans right-of-way, so a Water
Pollution Control Program (WPCP) or Design Standard Decision Document (DSDD) are not
required. The project encroachment permit application will be submitted to Caltrans as soon as
project development allows, and Consultant anticipates responding to up to two (2) rounds of plan
check comments. Consultant assumes that the City will be exempt from any permit application
fees.
Traffic Control Plans for Encroachment Permit
Consultant will prepare traffic control plans extending into Caltrans right-of-way along eastbound
East Coast Highway for the construction of improvements at the Jamboree Road intersection. It
is anticipated that no more than four (4) sheets of traffic control plans will be required. The traffic
control plans will be prepared at 1" = 40' scale, "double -stacked" with two horizontal layout strips
placed on each plan. They will be prepared on City title block in accordance with Caltrans
standards. The traffic control plans will follow the latest edition of the CA MUTCD and City of
Newport Beach guidelines and will show all temporary signs, barricades, channelizers, and any
other traffic control devices as necessary to safely accommodate vehicular, pedestrian, and
bicycle traffic, and efficient construction.
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. Page A-8 10-24
Task H — Project Management, Progress
Meetings, and Coordination Throughout the project, Consultant will communicate our progress,
assumptions, and design challenges with you. Consultant will also coordinate with other agencies,
as required and involve you in all these discussions and reviews. Project communication will
include meetings, conference calls, and emails. Documenting assumptions made, and direction
given during the design process is important to confirm that everyone agrees on what was
discussed. Consultant will diligently prepare and distribute meeting minutes or records of
discussion and allow you and other attendees to review and comment on these before proceeding
further on the design or other project tasks.
Upon NTP, Consultant will schedule a kick-off meeting to:
• Obtain background information
• Review and refine the project scope and schedule
• Establish the lines of communication
• Discuss the critical design issues, including, pavement strategies and criteria for
concrete improvement repairs and ADA upgrades
Meetings will also be held to review the 30-percent, 50-percent, 90-percent, and 100-percent
submittal packages and up to six (6) additional meetings throughout the design phase. Consultant
will develop a comprehensive and specific project work plan and quality control plan, and the
project schedule will be updated monthly.
Task I — Construction Support Services
Consultant will support you during the project bid period, including responding to questions from
prospective bidders and preparing bid addenda to the plans and special provisions, as necessary.
During the project construction phase, we will attend the pre -construction meeting, job walk, and
periodic job site meetings, as required. Consultant can clarify design -related issues during
construction, including responding to RFIs and shop drawing / submittal reviews. All clarifications
will be subject to your construction manager's approval.
For the purpose of this proposal, Consultant assumed up to 40 hours for this task.
Task J - Additional Tasks
Calculation of Traffic Index (TI)
Consultant will prepare separate traffic index (TI) calculations for up to three (3) segments of East
Coast Highway and one (1) segment of San Miguel Drive. Weekday 24-hour, two-way traffic
counts, including truck and bus volumes by number of axles, will be conducted for each segment.
We will use this data for each subject roadway segment to determine an appropriate design life
TI based on Caltrans equivalent single axle load (ESAL) factors for each large vehicle type. The
pavement design life will be confirmed with the City and/ or we can provide multiple TI calculations
for your consideration based on alternative pavement design life .
Ground Penetrating Radar Testing and Analysis
Consultant's team will perform ground penetrating radar (GPR) testing services on East Coast
Highway only. No GRP will be performed on San Miguel. Ground penetrating radar testing
involves sending radar signals into the pavement and analyzing the generated images to identify
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. Page A-9 10-25
AC, AB, and PCC layers and their thicknesses on a continuous basis. The approximate location
of underlying concrete can be determined with this type of testing and can be compared to
information derived from the as -built plans. GPR testing will be performed in each travel lane (turn
lanes not included).

fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of any such policy, evidence of

extended shall be filed with the City. If such coverage is cancelled or

insurance policies, at any time.
B. City's Right to Revise Requirements. City reserves the right at any time
during the term of the Agreement to change the amounts and types of

additional cost to Consultant, City and Consultant may renegotiate
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
of City to request copies of such agreements will not impose any liability on

subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all the requirements stated
herein, and Consultant shall ensure that City is an additional insured on
insurance required from subcontractors. For CGL coverage,
subcontractors shall provide coverage with a format at least as broad as CG

D. Enforcement of Agreement Provisions. Consultant acknowledges and
agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform
Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional
obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
E. Requirements not Limiting_. Requirements of specific coverage features or
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.
F. Self -insured Retentions. Any self -insured retentions must be declared to
and approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self -insured

insurance will not be considered to comply with these requirements unless
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.
