TITLE: Approval of Professional Services Agreement with Stantec Consulting
Services, Inc. for the Arterial Pavement Rehabilitation Project (Project
Nos. 23R15, 25R11 and 25R15) (Contract No. 8895-3)
ABSTRACT:
As part of the City of Newport Beach's Pavement Management Plan, Von Karman
Avenue, Bristol Street North and Spyglass Hill Road are scheduled for rehabilitation in
Fiscal Year 2025-26. Staff requests City Council approval to enter into a professional
services agreement with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. of Irvine, to prepare the
necessary construction documents.
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 with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. for
Arterial Street Rehabilitation Engineering Design Services for a total not -to -exceed
amount of $369,973, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the
agreement.
DISCUSSION:
As part of the City's Pavement Management Plan, Von Karman Avenue from MacArthur
Boulevard to Campus Drive (Project No. 23R15), Bristol Street North from Campus Drive
to Jamboree Road (Project No. 25R11), and Spyglass Hill Road from San Joaquin Hills
Road to San Miguel Drive (Project No. 25R15) are all scheduled for rehabilitation in
FY 2025-26 (see location maps provided in Attachment A). To save time and possibly
construction costs due to economy of scale, construction of these three street
rehabilitation projects will be combined into one bid package, collectively known as the
Arterial Pavement Rehabilitation project.
Construction documents for Von Karman Avenue were previously prepared by another
engineering consultant; however, due to strategic prioritization and scheduling of other
paving projects, the project has yet to be advertised and constructed.

Proposed improvements involve grinding and overlaying the existing asphalt pavement
with rubberized asphalt concrete pavement; repairing localized areas of pavement failure;
replacing deteriorated concrete curbs, median curbs, gutters, sidewalks, driveway
approaches, and access ramps; modifying and installing street signs and pavement
striping; adjusting utilities to grade; and performing other incidental items of work as
required. Landscape improvements will also be included on Spyglass Hill Road.
Earlier this year, staff requested and received proposals from four consulting firms to
provide professional engineering services for the MacArthur Boulevard (Jamboree Road
to Campus Drive) Pavement Rehabilitation project (Project No. 24R13). The design scope
of work for the MacArthur Boulevard Pavement Rehabilitation project is very similar to the
Arterial Pavement Rehabilitation project. The proposals were reviewed by a three -person
technical panel and the scoring for the proposals is as follows:

On May 14, 2024, the City entered into a professional services agreement with
David Evans and Associates, Inc. (DEA) to prepare the construction documents for the
MacArthur Boulevard Pavement Rehabilitation project. This design effort is currently
underway.
As shown in the above table, DEA and Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. (Stantec) were
closely ranked as the top two firms, scoring within 10 points of each other. Both DEA and
Stantec demonstrated the expertise and experience needed to complete construction
documents for pavement rehabilitation projects. Both firms have successfully completed
similar projects for other local agencies as well as for the City. Given that the MacArthur
Boulevard and the Arterial Pavement Rehabilitation projects are very similar in scope,
staff requested a proposal from Stantec for the Arterial Pavement Rehabilitation project.
Stantec's proposal reconfirmed the firm's expertise and ability to successfully complete
construction documents for pavement rehabilitation projects. Staff recommends
approving a professional services agreement with Stantec to complete the final design
efforts for the Arterial Pavement Rehabilitation project.
The proposed Scope of Work includes research and data collection, utility coordination,
design surveying, signing and striping inventory, base mapping, geotechnical testing and
preparation of a pavement report, preparation of final construction documents including
engineering plans, specifications and a cost estimate. Construction is tentatively planned
for fall of 2025.

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.

the property upon which Consultant performs the Project and/or Services contemplated
by this Agreement (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties"), from and against any 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.
Stantec Consulting Services Inc Page 4
10-10
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
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
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.

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.

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,

materials in its discretion without further compensation to Consultant or any other party.
Consultant shall, at Consultant's expense, provide such Documents, including all logins
and password information to City upon prior written request.

and any use of incomplete Documents without specific written authorization from
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.

for any other Project, excepting only such use as is authorized, in writing, by Consultant.
By acceptance of CADD data, City agrees to indemnify Consultant for damages and
liability resulting from the modification or misuse of such CADD data. All original drawings

twenty-four inch (24") by thirty-six inch (36") paper size. Consultant shall provide to City
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
All Documents, including drafts, preliminary drawings or plans, notes and
communications that result from the Services in this Agreement, shall be kept confidential
unless City expressly authorizes in writing the release of information.

infringement of any United States' letters patent, trademark, or copyright, including costs,
contained in Consultant's Documents provided under this Agreement.
21. RECORDS
Consultant shall keep records and invoices in connection with the Services to be
performed under this Agreement. Consultant shall maintain complete and accurate
records with respect to the costs incurred under this Agreement and any Services,

Agreement for a period of three (3) years from the date of final payment to Consultant
under this Agreement.
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
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.
24. CITY'S RIGHT TO EMPLOY OTHER CONSULTANTS
City reserves the right to employ other Consultants in connection with the Project.

prohibit such persons from making, or participating in making, decisions that will
foreseeably financially affect such interest.
25.2 If subject to the Act and/or Government Code §§ 1090 et seq., Consultant

and is grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement by City. Consultant shall
indemnify and hold harmless City for any and all claims for damages resulting from
Consultant's violation of this Section.

Exhibit A - Scope of Services
Task A - Research, Data Collection, and Field Visits
We 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 the
utility company coordination. As part of this task, we 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; and,
• Any additional noteworthy features.
Prior to the field review, we will coordinate with you to determine the extent of repairs and ADA
improvements you are planning for this project. During the field walk, we will take digital photos and
document the location of all potential repair locations and any other issues requiring special attention.
Task B — Utility Coordination
Thorough utility coordination is essential for the success of these important roadway improvements. Based
on previous projects, we assume that you will distribute the first utility request notices to utility companies in
the project area and will forward us the utility contacts and any utility maps or atlases received.
The information received will be organized in a utility coordination matrix that will be updated throughout the
project. We will coordinate with the respective utility companies to confirm ownership, location and depth of
facilities, and resolve any conflicts with the new improvements. Finally, we 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.
We anticipate 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. We 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. We
will confirm the number of utility adjustments with each utility company and any specific design details
required. We will also coordinate all utility relocations along with any required work windows or whether
utility company will have the City's Contractor perform the required work.
Comments received will be incorporated into the 90-percent and 100-percent final plans and we will
distribute utility notices for each submittal for review. We will then obtain written confirmation from each
utility company that all comments have been addressed and the plans are acceptable.
Task C — Desicin Surveying
Our 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 survey limits
will include both Spyglass Hill Road from San Miguel Drive to San Joaquin Hills Road (+/- 6,000 LF) and
Bristol Street North from Campus Drive to Jamboree Road (+/- 4,000 LF), and they will extend
approximately 50-feet in all directions beyond the limits of work at all intersections. The design survey will
include cross sections at 25-foot intervals for Spyglass Hill Drive and 50-foot intervals for Bristol Street
North, and they will locate visible surface improvements and surface utilities within the survey limits
(typically back of sidewalk to back of sidewalk).
10-20
Reference: Spy Glass Hill Road from San ftel Drive to San Joaquln Hills Road, Bristol Street North from Campus Drive to Jamboree Road, and Von
Karmen Avenue from MacArthur Blvd. to Campus Drive Pavement Rehabilitation
As part of the design survey, we will observe monuments to retrace the centerlines and rights -of -way of
Spyglass Hill Road and Bristol Street North 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
Spyglass Hill Road and Bristol Street North. Existing monumentation will be shown the improvement plans,
where found. However, we assume that Corner Records will be filed by the Contractor's surveyor as
required by the Special Provisions.
Based on our discussion with the City, we assume that all areas surveyed are outside Caltrans right-of-way,
so a Caltrans Encroachment Permit is not required.
Task D — Signing and Stripina Inventory
We will conduct a field inventory of the existing signing and striping for both sites. This inventory will include
documenting (with photos and field measurements) 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
GMU will perform the field work, laboratory testing, and pavement engineering analysis required to prepare
a Pavement Report for Spyglass Hill Road and Bristol Street North. ROM estimates will also be provided for
the various pavement repair and rehabilitation recommendations outlined in the Pavement Report.
As requested by the City, we have included Deflection Testing and Analysis and Ground Penetrating Radar
Testing and Analysis for both streets as Optional Tasks.
EA Calculation of Traffic Index (TI)
We will prepare separate traffic index (TI) calculations for up to five (5) segments of Spyglass Hill Road and
three (3) segments of Bristol Street North. 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.
E.2 Pavement Engineering
Document Review, Dig Alert Coordination. and Encroachment Permit
GMU will perform a document review of available existing as -built drawings and past
geotechnical/pavement reports. 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 painted on the pavement surface and Dig Alert (Underground Service Alert) will be
notified to assess potential conflict with known underground utilities prior to performing pavement corings.
GMU will apply and obtain a no -fee encroachment permit from the City of Newport Beach prior to
proceeding with the field exploration tasks.
Subsurface Exploration
GMU will perform a total of ten (10) to twelve (12) pavement corings distributed throughout the two street
segments. Their budget assumes two (2) days of pavement coring, scheduled between the hours of 8 am
and 5 pm (no night work).
The 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
10-21
Reference: Spy Glass Hl[I Road from San Miguel Drive to San Joaquin Hills Road, Bristol Street North from Campus Drive to Jamboree Road, and Von
Karmen Avenue from MacArthur Blvd. to Campus Drive Pavement Rehabilitation
(AB), if present, will be recorded. Paving fabric will be documented, if encountered. Underlying PCC or
Macadam, if encountered, will be recorded. 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 Perma Patch.
Traffic control will consist of single -lane closures, performed in accordance with the WATCH Manual. Cones
and arrow boards will be used to redirect vehicles around their work zone. We have assumed that a
Caltrans encroachment permit or stand-alone traffic control plans, stamped and signed by a traffic engineer,
will not be required.
Laboratory Testing
GMU will perform laboratory testing of the samples collected from the pavement corings in their in-house
Caltrans-certified pavement- and soil -materials laboratory. Testing may include the following:
• R-value testing
• Maximum density and optimum moisture content
• Laboratory soil classification (Atterberg Limits and Percent Passing No. 200 Sieve)
• In -place moisture content
• Sulfate content (to evaluate compatibility of in -place soils with cement treatment)
The exact type and quantity of tests will be dependent on the conditions encountered.
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 general accordance with the Caltrans Highway Design
Manual, 6th Edition. Caltrans AC design methodology consists of two primary design procedures. For
complete reconstruction strategies (or patches), Caltrans and Orange County Highway Design Manual
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 GMU to calculate the required
replacement pavement thicknesses. For rehabilitation strategies such as mill and overlay, 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. Without deflection testing data which is an optional task, GMU can still provide mill -and -overlay
thickness recommendations by comparing the existing pavement section thicknesses against the
thicknesses typically derived for new pavement.
Identification of Isolated AC Repair Locations
A GMU Pavement Engineer will identify isolated AC repair locations (patches) in collaboration with Stantec
staff, 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)
• Coring data (i.e., areas with inadequately thick in -place pavement)
• Deflection testing data (i.e., areas with exceedingly high deflection measurements), if available
• GPR data (i.e., areas with inadequately thick in -place pavement), if available
• Laboratory data (i.e., areas with high subgrade moisture content)
10-22
Reference: Spy Glass Hill Road from San Miguel Drive to San Joaquin Hills Road, Bristol Street North from Campus Drive to Jamboree Road, and Von
Karmen Avenue from MacArthur Blvd. to Campus Drive Pavement Rehabilitation
Pavement Evaluation Report
GMU will summarize their work, findings, conclusions, and recommendations into a single report. The
report will include the following information:
• Summary of information gathered from the document review, if any;
• Project location and project limits map;
• Subsurface exploration (coring) location map;
• Pavement coring information summary table (asphalt concrete thickness, fabric, aggregate base
thickness, subgrade soil type, underlying PCC, etc.);
• Select photographs of the pavement surface condition;
• Falling -weight deflectometer data map (similar to Figure 2), if elected;
• Ground -penetrating radar data map, if elected (similar to Figure 3);
• Laboratory testing results;
• Maps showing approximate locations and dimensions of the recommended localized AC repair
(PDF, AutoCAD, or ArcGIS formats); and
• Pavement rehabilitation strategy recommendations, including thickness recommendations.
GMU will provide two (2) pavement repair recommendations options for each street. GMU possesses
extensive experience in developing cost-effective pavement repair alternatives, including the following:
• Localized AC repairs (patches) followed by mill -and -overlay repair using conventional AC or
rubberized AC pavement;
• 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 tasks described above and our experience in the design and construction of these strategies allow us
to recommend cost-effective pavement repair strategies. Recommendations for cold or hot in -place
recycled AC or full -depth reclamation with cement/lime treatment are excluded, since our understanding is
that the City does not prefer the use of these pavement rehabilitation strategies.
The final report will be signed and stamped by a California -registered civil engineer.
E.3 Pavement Rehabilitation Strategy and Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) Estimate
We will prepare ROM estimates for our recommended pavement repair and rehabilitation recommendations
outlined in the Pavement Report and the other project improvements such as new curb ramps, driveways
and the proposed landscaping and irrigation improvements. The ROM estimate will be compared to the
City's available budget to help select the Preferred Pavement Rehabilitation Strategy for each road. If
necessary, we can value engineer the proposed improvements to best fit the City's available budget and
objectives.
Task F — Base Mapping
We 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)
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 in record
10-23
Reference: Spy Glass Hill Road from San Miguel Drive to San Joaquin Hills Road, Brfstol Street North from Campus Drive to Jamboree Road, and Von
Karmen Avenue from MacArthur Blvd. to Campus Drive Pavement Rehabilitation
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.
We will incorporate any plan check comments received from the City on the 30-Percent Base Map into the
improvement plans.
Task G — Construction Documents
After completing the preliminary engineering efforts, selection of the Preferred Pavement Rehabilitation
Strategy on both streets and receiving plan check comments on the 30-Percent Base Map, we will prepare
the following plans and supporting documents. We 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.
GA Plans
We will prepare a single plan set containing both sites. The plans will be in AutoCAD Civil 3D and in
accordance with your design standards.
G.1.1 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
(approximately 18) and commercial driveways (approximately 9). We will include these design details in the
plan set, as necessary, to provide additional information to the Contractor.
G.1.2 Roadway Plan and Profile Sheets (V = 401
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. Additionally, the plans will include a new raised median at the Spyglass Hill Road
and Harbor Ridge Drive intersection to replace the existing delineators, and the installation of a subdrain
(and potentially a retaining curb) along the eastern side of Spyglass Hill Road between Port Harwick Place
and Harbor Ridge Drive to help mitigate soil from sloughing off the slope to the sidewalk. Please refer to
Attachment 'A'.
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 plans will also
include all horizontal and vertical control required to stake and construction the new improvements.
10-24
Reference: Spy Glass Hal Road from San Miguel Drive tD San Joaquin Hiils Road, Bristol Street North from Campus Drive to Jamboree Road, and Von
Karmen Avenue from MacArthur Blvd. to Campus Drive Pavement Rehabilitation
G.1.3 Roadway Design Sections (Separate Plan Set)
We 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.
GJ A 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 Spyglass Hill Road and Bristol Street North 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.
G.1.5 Irrigation and Planting Plans 0" = 20')
Our understanding is that the City would like to replace two lawn areas along Spyglass Hill Road with a low
water -use plant palette to match the existing landscaping from Harbor Ridge to El Capitan. Additionally, the
new median being constructed at Harbor Ridge Drive will also be planted with the same low water -use plant
palette. We assume that all other landscaping and irrigation repairs required for the new improvements will
be handled with a construction note on the street improvement plans to match "in kind". Based on this
assumption, we will prepare Irrigation and Planting Plans at a 1" = 20' scale for the new landscape areas
shown in Attachment 'A'.
The Irrigation Plans will include an irrigation schedule that will break down the construction elements by
type, manufacture, model, size, count and associated details. They will also be accompanied with special
notes and calculations to conform to local and state regulations (MWELO).
The Planting Plans will show graphically the plants to be used on the project as well as a schedule that will
include the plant symbol, name (scientific /common), container size, special notes if any, count and
associated details. The scope does not include a separate, colored landscape concept plan since we will be
matching the existing plant palette of the area.
See additional assumptions below:
• The existing irrigation system will not be modeled or shown on the plans The newly designed
irrigation system will be modeled based on assumptions and data provided by the City. We assume
that a field visit with City staff will be required to provide the location of key appurtenances of the
existing irrigation system.
• The three (3) new landscape areas will be provided with drip irrigation systems and the installation
of a new water meter or a new irrigation controller is not required.
• Both areas to be transitioned from lawn to shrubs will be irrigated using existing improvements
upstream of, and including, the existing individual control valves.
• If possible, we will repurpose an existing control valve for the proposed raised landscape median.
However, if this is not possible, then an additional valve and control wires to the existing controller
10-25
Reference: Spy Gins Hill Road from San Miguel Drive to San Joaquin Hills Road, Bristol Street North from Campus Drive to Jamboree Road, and Von
Karmen Avenue from MacArthur Blvd. to Campus Drive Pavement Rehabilitation
will be necessary. If this is the case, the connection of the wires to the existing irrigation controller
will be addressed with construction notes only. If an additional valve is required, then we assume
that the existing controller has the capacity to accept it.
• Since we are replacing existing lawn with lower water -use plants, we assume that pressure
calculations are not required and will not be provided.
• The new planting theme/species will match those existing on the west side of Spyglass Hill Road
south of Harbor Ridge Drive. In the absence of record drawings, we will do our best to match plant
species and varieties, but the actual matching is not guaranteed.
• We assume that trees will not be provided in the new median or the two parkway areas to maintain
safe sight distances for vehicles exiting Hillsborough.
• Areas are not to be maintained by any assessment district and the plan reviews will be limited to
the City of Newport Beach.
G.2 Special Provisions
Well -written special provisions reduce the potential for change orders during construction. We will prepare
the project provisions based on your supplied boilerplate and the City's current edition of the Standard
Specifications for Public Works Construction (SSPWC). The Caltrans Standard Specifications will also be
referenced for the signing and striping improvements.
Our experienced 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 our 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.
G.3 Cost Estimate
We understand 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, we determine 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. We 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.
G.4 As -Built Drawings
Preparing accurate as -built drawings is important for your City's future generations. We 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. We
will provide you a PDF of the as -built drawings upon completion of construction.
Task H— Project Management, Meetings, and Coordination
Throughout the project, we will communicate our progress, assumptions, and design challenges with you.
We 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
10-26
Reference: Spy Glass HUI Road from San Miguel Drive to San Joaquin HfUs Road, Bristol Street North from Campus Drive to Jamboree Road, and Von
Kamm Avenue from MacArthur Blvd. to Campus Drive Pavement Rehabfttion
agrees on what was discussed. We 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, we 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. We will develop a
comprehensive and specific project work plan and quality control plan, and the project schedule will be
updated monthly. In person meetings, conference calls, and emails are a few of the way we maintain
communication and continuous collaboration with you throughout the project phases.
Task I — Incorporate Von Karmen Avenue Rehabilitation Bid Documents Into Bid Package
Our understanding is that the plans and estimate have already been prepared by another Consultant for the
improvements along Von Karmen Avenue. For this task, we assume Stantec's scope for this street will only
be to incorporate the bid documents into the Special Provisions. For the purpose of this proposal, we have
assumed up to 24 hours for this task to:
• Coordinate the with Consultant
• Confirm all required work items are incorporated into the Special Provisions
• Prepare a separate bid schedule for this work and confirm the bid item descriptions
Task J — Caltrans Encroachment Permit for Traffic Control Implementation
We will process an encroachment permit through Caltrans District 12 to temporarily close the westbound
SR 73 off -ramp at Birch Street during construction. We will prepare and submit, on behalf of the City, a
standard encroachment permit application which indicates that the "Proposed Traffic Control Plans and
Method" will be per the relevant "State Standard Plans (T-Sheets)" and no stand-alone traffic control plans
will be required. We have provided stand-alone traffic control plans as an optional task if Caltrans requires
them. We assume 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 we assume that the City will be exempt from any permit application fees. We assume that a
Caltrans encroachment permit is not required for our field surveying or geotechnical field work.
Task K — Construction Support Services
We 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. We 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, we assumed up to 40 hours for this task.

Task L - Optional Tasks
L.1 Deflection Testing and Analysis
To evaluate if the pavement can be milled -and -overlaid and achieve the desired structural design life, GMU
will perform non-destructive pavement deflection testing 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 a weaker pavement section. Information derived from deflection
testing includes:
• Allowing the in -place structural capacity to be analyzed and determined (whether the in -place
pavement is structurally adequate or inadequate for the anticipated future traffic volume/design life).
• Providing additional data that can foreshadow potential constructability challenges, such as
whether or not the milled AC surface will be able to support construction loading.
• Identifying 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.
We propose to perform deflection testing at 1 00-to-1 50-foot intervals. Each deflection test point will be geo-
referenced using a Global Position System (GPS). The tests will be staggered in both directions of travel to
increase the coverage of each section. A single day of pavement deflection testing will be performed for
both streets.
Moving closure traffic control (traffic control truck with arrow boards) following behind the deflection testing
equipment will be utilized. We assume that a Caltrans Encroachment Permit or stand-alone traffic control
plans stamped by a traffic engineer will not be required.
L.2 Ground Penetrating Radar Testing and Analysis
If elected, GMU will perform non-destructive ground penetrating radar (GPR) testing and analysis to obtain
continuous pavement subsurface information. Information such as presence and thickness of asphalt
concrete and underlying aggregate base will be gathered from GPR data. GPR data allows for continuous
measurement of pavement layer thicknesses, enabling a more precise determination of overlay
recommendations. This task includes one day of GPR testing for both streets. GPR testing will be
performed in each travel lane (turn lanes not included). We assume that a Caltrans Encroachment Permit or
stand-alone traffic control plans stamped by a traffic engineer will not be required.
L.3 Potholing Allowance
Potholing may be required to confirm that there are no utility conflicts with the new subdrain along Spyglass
Hill Road or if any trees are ultimately proposed (our current assumption is that no trees will be planted due
to maintaining safe sight distances at Hillsborough). A budget of $8,500 has been included for one day of
potholing (4 to 5 potholes), which will be utilized, if necessary, as approved in writing by the City's project
manager. The potholing, which will include traffic control in accordance with the WATCH Manual, will be
coordinated to minimize traffic disruption. All potholes will be done in the public right-of-way in accordance
with the no fee City encroachment permit for this work. We assume that hot patch asphalt or repair of
concrete improvements (sidewalk, curb & gutter) are not required and can be repaired, if necessary, as part
of the street improvements.

C. Primary and Non Contributory. Contractor's insurance coverage shall be
primary insurance and/or the primary source of recovery with respect to

volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by City shall be
excess of Contractor's insurance and shall not contribute with it.
D. Notice of Cancellation. All policies shall provide City with thirty (30) calendar

5. Additional Agreements Between the Parties. The parties hereby agree to the
following:
A. Evidence of Insurance. Contractor shall provide certificates of insurance to
City as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with a

endorsements as specified herein for each coverage. All of the executed
documents referenced in this Contract must be returned to City within ten
(10) regular City business days after the date on the "Notification of Award".
Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by City's Risk

written notice of such cancellation or reduction of coverage, file with the City
evidence of insurance showing that the required insurance has been
reinstated or has been provided through another insurance company or
companies. City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of
all required insurance policies, at any time.
Stantec Consulting Services Inc Page C-3
10-38
B. City's Right to Revise Requirements. The City reserves the right at any time
during the term of the Contract to change the amounts and types of
insurance required by giving Contractor ninety (90) calendar days' advance
written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial
additional cost to Contractor, City and Contractor may renegotiate
Contractor's compensation.
C. Right to Review Subcontracts. Contractor agrees that upon request, all
agreements with subcontractors or others with whom Contractor 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
City, or its employees. Contractor shall require and verify that all
subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all the requirements stated
herein, and Contractor 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 20 38 04 13.
D. Enforcement of Contract Provisions. Contractor acknowledges and agrees
that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform Contractor 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 Exhibit A 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 Contractor maintains higher
limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be
entitled to coverage for higher limits maintained by the Contractor. Any
available proceeds in excess of specified minimum limits of insurance and
coverage shall be available to the City.
F. Self -insured Retentions. Contractor agrees not to self -insure or to use any
self -insured retentions on any portion of the insurance required herein and
further agrees that it will not allow any indemnifying party to self -insure its
obligations to City. If Contractor's existing coverage includes a self -insured
retention, the self -insured retention must be declared to City. City may
review options with Contractor, which may include reduction or elimination
of the self -insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other
solutions. Contractor agrees to be responsible for payment of any
deductibles on their policies.
G. City Remedies for Non Compliance. If Contractor or any subcontractor 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
Stantec Consulting Services Inc Page C-4
10-39
Contract, or to suspend Contractor'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 Contractor or reimbursed by
Contractor upon demand.
H. Timely Notice of Claims. Contractor shall give City prompt and timely notice
of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Contractor's
performance under this Contract, 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.
Coverage not Limited. All insurance coverage and limits provided by
Contractor and available or applicable to this Contract are intended to apply
to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Contract or any
other agreement relating to City or its operations limits the application of
such insurance coverage.
J. Coverage Renewal. Contractor will renew the coverage required here
annually as long as Contractor continues to provide any Work under this or
any other Contract or agreement with City. Contractor shall provide proof
that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this
Contract have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at
least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall
be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from
Contractor's insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of
insurance and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these
specifications applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided
to City with five (5) calendar days of the expiration of the coverages.
