SUBJECT: NEWPORT BOULEVARD /HOSPITAL ROAD RIGHT -TURN
MODIFICATIONS- AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH W. G. ZIMMERMAN ENGINEERING, INC.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services Agreement with W.G. Zimmerman
Engineering, Inc., and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Amendment.
DISCUSSION:
On September 2, 2003, the Public Works Director approved a Professional Services
Agreement with W.G. Zimmerman Engineering, Inc. (Zimmerman) for $24,110.00 to
provide engineering, geotechnical services, and Caltrans encroachment permit
processing as outlined in the Agreement and scope of services attached hereto as Exhibit
„A„
Zimmerman is presently completing final design, and has submitted a proposal to
amend their scope of services to provide a biological and cultural assessment for the
project. The additional services are needed to comply with Caltrans requirements,
because Newport Boulevard is under State jurisdiction. Staff has negotiated
Zimmerman's compensation, which will increase their fee from $24,110.00 to
$31,474.00. Since the increase is more than 25% of the original contract amount, and
causes the total to exceed $30,000.00, City Council approval is required per Council
Policy F -3. Staff feels the additional $7,364.00 is appropriate for the additional scope of
services that is needed, and recommends Council approval.
Environmental Review:
The design services for this project do not require an environmental review.
Public Notice:
Not applicable at this time.

801 Pacific Coast Highway, Ste. 200
Seal Beach, CA 90740
Dear Mr. Warren:
Thank you for inviting our work scope and cost proposal for completing the biological study and Section
106 review of Newport Boulevard Right -Turn Lane Addition at Hospital Road in Newport Beach,
California. As we discussed, the biological and cultural/historic reviews will need to be prepared in
compliance with the California Department of Transportation ( Caltrans) requirements. We propose the
use of our biologist, Ms. Jennifer Weiland, to conduct the biological study. We also propose the use of
Ms. Sheen Gust, Registered Professional Archaeologist, to serve as principal investigator for the Section
106.
Project Description
The proposed'project is located in the City of Newport Beach, California at the northwest comer of
• Newport Boulevard and Hospital Road and involves an area approximately 20 meters wide by 240 meters
long consisting of the area from the Newport Boulevard southbound traffic lane to the Caltrans west right -
of -way line and from 5 meters north of the centerline of Hospital Road to 240 meters northerly.
The project consists of widening Newport.Boulevard to provide for a 4.3 meter southbound right -turn
lane (with curb and gutter) and a 5.9 meter graded parkway area which requires the deep drainage area on
the west side of Newport Boulevard to be graded with a fill slope for most of the area along with a small
amount of cut slope at the southerly end near Hospital Road and along the Caltrans right -of -way line.
The existing concrete ditch and reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) drain pipe in the deep drainage area will
be realigned and reconstructed to provide for drainage at the bottle of the new fill and cut slopes. The
regarded area will be hydroseeded at the end of the project to provide for slope stability and erosion
control. Additionally, the curb return and traffic signals at the northwest comer of Newport Boulevard
and Hospital Road will be reconstructed to provide for the widened right -turn lane.
The area to receive biological and cultural/historical analyses is approximately 700 feet x 90 feet in size
on the west side of Newport Boulevard, adjacent to the existing roadway.

UltraSystems' biologists are aware of the unique resource diversity within the general project area, and
can provide the City of Newport Beach with accredited biologists specialized in the requisite area of
expertise.
Scope of Services - Biological
The scope of services follows the suggested procedures found in Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures
Manual and consists of:
1. Conducting a biological survey to determine the existence or potential existence of rare, threatened,
and endangered species (i.e., plants);
2. Recommend mitigation measures (if necessary) and;
3. Preparing a biological assessment of the project site per Caltrans standards and requirements.
Biological Survev and Report Preparation for Project Site
Task 1: Review of Existing Information
Available, potentially relevant biological resource information will be reviewed before the field work is
conducted. This will include the following as provided by the City of Newport Beach: the project
description, project design and project footprint maps, previously prepared site reports, information on
site history, and local planning documents. We will provide and review relevant resource references and
databases (e.g., available soils maps, the California Natural Diversity Data Base data; California Native
Plant Society Electronic Inventory data, our own library and files, etc.), as well as applicable information
on laws and regulations and background information on biological resources.
Task 2: General Field Evaluation for Biological Assessment
After reviewing relevant information, the site will be evaluated (one time), with a thorough walk -over
covering all portions relevant to potential biological constraints. The visit will consist of a general
biological survey to determine the existence or potential existence of rare, threatened, and endangered
species. Detailed field notes will be compiled including conditions, visible disturbance factors, species,
habitats, and more general biological resource issues observed or detected. The site will be evaluated
regarding the presence, absence, or likelihood of occurrence for all special status species, habitats, or
more general biological resource issues potentially posing a constraint to the project through applicable
laws and regulations. Our field biologist will also briefly examine adjacent areas.
Task 3: Biological Assessment Report
The report will be a single document with mapping of the general location and site vegetation
communities for the site. The project site area will be addressed sequentially within the various headings
of the report. Methods and results for each task will be provided. Observations of the physical setting,
conditions and disturbance factors, as well as plant, and habitat resources will be summarized. The
regulatory context of the project will be evaluated with regard to all existing biological resource laws,
regulations and court precedent, including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Direct,
indirect, and within- project cumulative effects will be evaluated. All plant species with special legal or
management status along with more general biological resource issues, which have any reasonable
potential to constrain the project, will be briefly addressed, including conclusions regarding such

Page 3
constraint. Listing of special status species which include the site in their general range, but which have
no reasonable potential to occur or otherwise constrain the project, will be included but not further
discussed. We will provide recommendations (if necessary) for mitigation measures or further work to
clarify relevant issues. For example, any additional focused species - specific surveys that may be required
to document the actual presence (or absence) of those select species whose presence could not be
definitively concluded in the absence of full compliance with established survey protocols. Exhaustive
details of mitigation measure design, implementation and monitoring programs will not be provided. We
will provide comprehensive floral lists covering all species expected to occur on the project site.
Any constraints to the project posed by biological resource laws and regulations will be summarized, and
brief general conclusions and recommendations will be provided. Recommendations will include
bulleted lists for any further actions and mitigation measures. We will provide up to two copies of the
final reports, including any maps (as rendered).
The Cost Estimate includes budget sufficient for one thorough revision to a draft of the report. We have
also included one project update by telephone, fax or a -mail, which will normally be provided shortly
after the field evaluation. Conclusions and interpretations cannot normally be provided while the analysis
is ongoing; the draft report will be provided as soon as such work is finished.
Required Materials
The following materials (if available) must be provided to us in order that we can fulfill the scope of
work:
• An accurate, detailed written description of the project, including location and boundaries; the
greater the detail, the more specific and clear the analysis can be, decreasing the likelihood that
the report will be inaccurate or delayed due to repeated revisions.
• Two copies are required of accurate aerial photographs or maps of the project site which show the
project footprint and legible elevation contours free of project detail, and at a scale of from
1 " =200' to V=400'.
• Copies of all relevant prior environmental documents including any general or specific plans,
which must be considered, and any previously prepared biology reports for the site.
• If necessary, keys, lock combinations, letters of permission, and any other materials necessary to
allow us full, efficient and reasonable access to the site. We cannot take responsibility for any
cost and/or schedule overruns due to problems arising from our inability to access the site.
• Written authorization by the City of Newport Beach to proceed under the terms of this proposal.
U1traSvstems Assigned Kev Personnel
Based on the importance of the project and the technical nature of this work effort, UltraSystems has
assembled a team of professionals who will participate in the successful completion of this work program.

Background — Cultural and Historical Resources
For this important task, U1traSystems has selected Cogstone Resource Management Inc. to complete the
Phase I Resource Assessment Survey and prepare the Section 106 documentation. Cogstone is a small,
women -owned business specializing in archaeological and paleontological resource consulting. The two
principals own and operate the company. They personally manage all company projects. With a
combined total of 35 years of experience in local/CEQA/NEPA mitigation of effects on archaeological
and paleontological resources, the principals are well qualified to address a wide variety of field situations
with practical solutions.
Cogstone provides highly qualified personnel to perform reconnaissance, assessment, monitoring,
analysis and reporting on archaeological and paleontological resources. It has strong connections to the
local museum and university communities giving it the flexibility to augment its staff with specialists
when required.
Scope of Services — Preparation of Section 106 Documentation
Analysis of the Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and its implementing regulations at
36 CFR Part 800, will also consider the most recent revisions to CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines, and
any updated legislation and policies regarding Native American coordination. Section 106 requires the
• evaluation of built environment structures, including roadways. The evaluation would consist of a surface
examination and review of any documents relating to the structure. This proposal assumes the City of
Newport Beach would share any documentation they have on the previous use, dates of construction, or
materials and methods used for construction.
The literature review and record searches will determine the existence of previously recorded cultural and
paleontological resources within the project boundaries plus a quarter mile to each side. Records will be
searched at California State University, Fullerton. The Central Coastal Information Center holds the
records for historic structures and archaeology. -
The surface examination will locate all visible cultural resources, as well as locate exposed
paleontological resources. If any previously unrecorded archaeological sites is encountered, we would
submit a detailed and specific proposal for recording those sites.
The report will include the results of the record search and literature review, the surface examination and
an evaluation of the significance of the proposed project area. In addition, management recommendations
and any necessary mitigation measures will be provided. Maps and other pertinent documentation will be
appended.
Cogstone Assigned Key Personnel
Sherri Gust, Registered Professional Archaeologist and Qualified Paleontologist will serve as the
Principal Investigator for this project. Ms. Gust is the managing principal of Cogstone Resource
Management Inc. and supervises all paleontology /archaeology projects. Ms. Gust conducts the
• assessments and analysis, oversees writing of the proposals and reports, and handles all bone
identification. In addition, Ms. Gust manages all daily operations, budgeting and business development at
Cogstone RMI.
