TITLE: Approval of Professional Services Agreement with Moffat & Nichol for
Newport Harbor Seawall Replacement / Rehabilitation Design
ABSTRACT:
The City of Newport Beach maintains the various seawalls in segments within the public
right of way on the Balboa Peninsula. Aging seawalls require substantial repair and
maintenance. Under normal conditions, wave overtopping and flooding occur on the
islands and peninsula during high tide and high wave events, causing limited damage to
residences, businesses, vehicles, public infrastructure and the environment. These older
City seawalls are exhibiting distress in the form of cracks in the concrete and construction
joint openings that allow water to breach the walls and contribute to localized flooding.
During flood events, City staff pumps flood waters from landside areas back into the Bay
to minimize inundation.
The existing older walls were constructed of many different structural configurations and
at various time periods. The City of Newport Beach requested proposals for design
professionals to investigate eight specific locations identified by staff as needing
remediation.
Staff requests City Council approval to enter into a professional services agreement with
Moffatt & Nichol of Costa Mesa to investigate and design replacement and rehabilitation
options for various seawalls.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
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 (PSA) with Moffatt & Nichol for design
services of the Newport Harbor Seawall Replacement / Rehabilitation Project for a
total not -to -exceed amount of $448,803, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to
execute the Agreement.

DISCUSSION:
Staff has identified portions of the seawall system along Newport Harbor that are in need
of repair and/or replacement. These areas have been noted to flood or suffer from water
intrusion during high tide events. In addition, these wall areas are exhibiting age related
deterioration in the form of cracks, gaps, and spalling.
The Newport Harbor Seawall Replacement / Rehabilitation Project (Project) is looking at
eight locations for rehabilitation: 33rd Street end; Lake Avenue between 371" Street and
The Rialto; 35t" Street end; 34t" Street end; Marcus Avenue Street end; Lake Avenue
between 37t" Street and 38t" Street; 29t" Street at Lafayette Avenue; and 281" Street at
Lafayette Avenue.
Staff issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for professional design services and received
three proposals. A three -person panel reviewed and scored the proposals on a
Qualifications Based Selection process including execution and conformance to the RFP,
project understanding, firm capability, experience and expertise, and listed project
experience. Moffatt & Nichol received the highest composite score. Moffatt & Nichol has
successfully completed many similar projects for the City of Newport Beach and other
coastal communities. The fee proposed by Moffatt & Nichol is reasonable within expected
costs for the proposed level of effort. Therefore, staff recommends approving a
Professional Services Agreement with Moffatt & Nichol to complete the investigation and
design portions of the Project.
The scoring for the proposals is as follows:

Moffatt & Nichol's Scope of Services revolves around six main tasks. Research and data
collection; Field and bathymetric surveys; Preliminary design report; Permitting;
Construction document preparation; and Construction support services. Construction is
anticipated to begin approximately two years after project initiation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The adopted budget includes sufficient funding for this contract. It will be expensed to
Tidelands Maintenance accounts in the Public Works Department, 10001-980000-22H08
and 10001-980000-23H08. Tidelands revenue is generated from the operation of the City
of Newport Beach's tidelands including rents from moorings, piers, and leases, as well as
income from parking lots. Currently, the operating expenditures of the Tidelands exceeds
the revenues and is subsidized by the General Fund.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

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.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
The following is a comprehensive list of the services requested as part of this RFP for Newport
Harbor Seawall Replacement / Rehabilitation Project. Please refer to the RFP Introduction for
instructions on how to respond.
The City of Newport Beach (City) maintains seawalls in the public right of way throughout the
Newport Harbor and has determined that the aging seawalls listed on Attachment A require
substantial routine repair and maintenance and desires to evaluate the seawalls at these
locations. The aging seawalls are exhibiting distress in the form of cracks in concrete, floating
sidewalk, wall movement, possible corroded tie rods and openings in the sheet piles that allow
water seepage that contributes to localized flooding. Under normal conditions, wave overtopping
and flooding occur on the islands during high tide and high wave events, causing limited damage
to residences, businesses, vehicles, public infrastructure, and the environment. The storm drain
system on the islands and peninsula includes tide valves at storm drain outlets that are closed
during high tide events. During flood events, the City pumps flood waters from localized landside
areas back into the Bay to minimize flood inundation.
Preliminary and Final Design
Consultant shall be responsible for providing preliminary and final design services. Services
shall include, as a minimum:
A. Project Management — Consultant shall organize, schedule, and chair all meetings with
City Staff and/or the Public. Meeting agendas shall be prepared and distributed two days
prior to each meeting. Meeting minutes shall be prepared within three days after each
meeting.
B. Research and Data Collection — Conduct site visits with City staff to review problem areas.

engineering reports, record drawings, tract maps, proposed improvement plans, assessor
parcel maps, right-of-way maps, plans with pipe alignments, and utility maps.
C. Field Survey and Bathymetric Surveying Services — Consultant shall perform field survey
and bathymetric survey (including topography with 1-foot contours) necessary to complete
the project. Consultant shall also probe landside areas and underwater probe to determine
wall depths and potential gaps or cracks. The Basis of Bearings and Benchmark shall be
consistent with Orange County Survey Horizontal Control and the North American Vertical
Datum, 1988, respectively.
D. Preliminary Design Report — This report shall include geotechnical investigations,
alternative analysis, preparation of preliminary plans and construction cost estimate for the
replacement or rehabilitation of the seawalls. Based on conditions found in the site surveys,
the consultant shall recommend protection scenarios at each location from damage due to
seawater seepage or seawall failure, provide recommendations for flood mitigation
measures to effectively minimize inundation due to high tides and storm surge.
Recommendations could include a combination of repairing wall, replacing existing
seawalls with new seawalls of various types and heights, or any other protection measures.
E. Permitting — It is anticipated that this project will require extensive permitting through the
California Coastal Commission and the City's Community Development Department and/or
8-21
other agencies. The selected consultant shall determine if other permits are required and
to process these permits including attending meetings. The consultant is responsible for
applying for and obtaining all required permits. After receipt of the various governing body
clearances, the selected consultant shall enter the Final Design Phase. All received
comments and permitting requirements shall be incorporated into a set of final design
plans.
F. Construction Documents
Plans — Plan submittals shall be for Preliminary Engineering, 50 Percent Design, 90
Percent Design, and 100 Percent Final Design. The consultant is responsible for
addressing all plan review comments at each of the formal submittals as well as
informal coordination throughout the plan preparation process. Drawings shall be
prepared in AutoCAD Civil 3D and shall comply with City's CAD standards. Once
design has been completed, Consultant shall submit electronic files of each submittal
and final drawings in both AutoCAD and Adobe (PDF) format.
2. Special Provisions — Consultant shall prepare Special Provisions to the Standard
Specifications for Public Works Construction (2015 Edition) in Microsoft Word. An
electronic copy in Microsoft Word format shall be submitted at the completion of design.
City staff will provide a Special Provision boilerplate.
3. Cost Estimate — Consultant shall prepare an itemized construction cost estimate at the
Preliminary Design, 50 Percent, 90 Percent and 100 Percent Final stages. Quantity
back-ups per plan sheet shall also be submitted with the cost estimate. Consultant
shall submit the construction cost estimate in Microsoft Excel format.
4. As -built Drawings — Upon completion of construction, Consultant shall prepare as -built
drawings based on Contractor mark-ups. As -built drawings shall be submitted in
AutoCAD and Adobe (PDF) format. Mylar hard copies will not be required.
G. Construction Support Services
Consultant shall prepare bid addendums, revise final construction drawings and
specifications during the bidding process and resolve any discrepancies.
2. Consultant shall attend the pre -bid walkthrough, pre -construction meeting and shall be
available to respond to questions to include review of substitution requests.
3. Consultant shall review shop drawings and/or material submittals related to the design
of this project to include Request for Information, construction schedules, change order
requests and pay applications.
4. Consultant shall provide guidance and recommendations to the City with respect to the

Seawall Locations
street end)
This segment of the bulkhead is at the end of 3311 Street between 3212 & 3300 Marcus Avenue. This
location was recently identified as a new leak. The area behind the seawall is heavily landscaped so
the location of the seepage is unknown. The soil/landscape area adjacent to 3212 Marcus Avenue
behind the seawall appears to be lower and have recently experience some settlement.
2. Lake Avenue between 37th and The Rialto Streets
300 The Rialto has a history of continuous seepage in the sidewalk during high tide events. The
intersection of Lake Avenue and The Rialto is inundated with seawater during high tide and requires
City staff to pump out the seawater at this location.
3. 3412 & 3500 Marcus Avenue (35t" street
This segment of bulkhead is at the end of 35t' Street between 3412 & 3500 Marcus Avenue. This
RFP No. 24-20 Seawall Reyairs.pdf

location has had a history of flooding with a long maintenance record of patches and injections.
During high tide, the end of the street requires pumping to reduce seawater on the street.
4. 3312 & 3400 Marcus Avenue
street
The cinder block wall/CMU wall along this segment continues to experience seepage despite various
attempts to seal the leak over the years.
5. 312 & 400 381h Street
The location of the leak at the end of the street on Marcus Avenue between 312 and 400 38" Street is
unknown. Along this bulkhead segment, the grass area is continuously moist especially during high tide
and the concrete slab adjacent to the grass area appears to be hollow below grade. Various attempts
have been exhausted to seal the leak but have been unsuccessful.
6. Lake Avenue Seawall between 37th & 381 Street
The City installed sheet piles in FY 2014 along this reach but Lake Avenue continues to flood and pond
during high tide. There is moisture in the grass area behind the seawall. The location of the seawall
seepage is unknown along this segment. During high tide, pumping is required at a localized low point
at 300 The Rialto to reduce seawater on the street at the intersection of Lake Avenue and 37'" Street.
RFP No. 24-20 Seawall Repairs.0
7.
2900 Lafayette Avenue)
This segment of bulkhead is in the public right of way at the end of 291h Street adjacent to 2900 Lafayette
Avenue. The building pad for 2900 Lafayette Avenue slopes towards the back corner of the building.
Surface runoff ponds and overflows into the sidewalk at the end of the street. The seawall along this
segment has seepage into the catch basin wall. The street/sidewalk will be raised to provide access to
a new public pier scheduled to be built at this street end.
$ 28th Lafayette (2800 Lafayette Avenue)
IPFWr V .. Nmmnllh�.. A. --N.
This segment of bulkhead is in the public right of way at the end of Villa Way adjacent to 2800 Lafayette
Avenue. During high tide, water seeps through the base of the seawall onto the sidewalk and into the
street. The location of the seepage is unknown. The concrete and pavement in the general area is lifting.
Routine pumping during high tide coupled with a rain event is necessary to reduce runoff and seawater
on the street. Various attempts have been exhausted to seal the leak over the years but have been
unsuccessful.

Consultant's compensation.
C. Right to Review Subcontracts. Consultant agrees that upon request, all

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

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.

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.

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.
