AVENUE /CLIFF DRIVE, TUSTIN AVENUE AND WEST COAST HIGHWAY)
RECOMMENDATIONS:

Assessment District No. 92 and appropriate $41,500.00 to 74092 -9810 for electric
design, $20,000.00 to 74092 -9811 for phone design, and $22,970.00 to 74092-

DISCUSSION:
The property owners of Proposed Underground Assessment District No. 92 have
submitted petitions to the City requesting a special Assessment District be formed to
finance and underground overhead utilities. The boundaries of the proposed District are
shown on the attached Exhibit "A ".
One of the initial steps in the District formation process is the circulation of the Petition for
Special Assessment Proceedings. Proponents of the District circulated a petition to the
property owners and have submitted the signed petition to the City. The submitted
signatures represent over 60 percent (60 %) of the assessable area within the proposed
District. The City's guidelines require a minimum of 60 percent (60 %) in favor of the District
in order to proceed with the formation of a District. In anticipation that the District would
move forward, staff called for proposals from qualified firms to provide assessment
engineering services. Staff negotiated a not to exceed fee of $22,970.00 for services with
the firm Hall & Foreman, Inc.
The assessment engineering services to be provided by Hall & Foreman, Inc. are detailed
in the attached Professional Services Agreement and include identifying, analyzing, and
determining the correct apportionment of costs in addition to preparing the Assessment
Engineer's Report. Hall & Foreman, Inc. will also prepare the voting ballots in accordance
with the requirements of Proposition 218. The ballots are weighted by "financial

obligation" (the amount of the property's assessment). The District formation proceedings
are pursuant to the "Municipal Improvement Act of 1913" (Division 12 of the Streets and
Highways Code of the State of California). Bonds will be sold pursuant to the
"Improvement Bond Act of 1915," Division 10 of said Code.
Southern California Edison (SCE) and SBC Communications, Inc. (SBC) are responsible
for the design of their utilities. In order to initiate the design of these facilities, the City
must remit $41,500.00 to SCE and $20,000.00 to SBC. The utility and engineering costs
will be reimbursed to the City by the District if it is formed at the final Public Hearing.
However, the funds will not be recovered if the District is not formed. The City Council has
previously authorized the advancements of funds for other districts.
Environmental Review:
This project qualifies for a Class 2 California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) exemption
under Section 15302, item "d" of the Implementing Guidelines as follows: "Conversion of
overhead electric utility distribution system facilities to underground including connection
to existing overhead electric utility distribution lines where the surface is restored to the
condition existing prior to the undergrounding."

Subject: Proposal to Provide Assessment District No. 92 (Area Bounded By: Riverside Avenue /Cliff
Drive, Tustin Avenue, and West Coast Highway) Engineering Services to Establish an
Underground Utility Assessment District
Dear Ms. Lee:
The City of Newport Beach is seeking an engineering consultant qualified to provide Assessment District engineering
services to establish a Rule 20 -B Underground Utility Assessment District No. 92 for the City of Newport Beach.
Selecting the Hall & Foreman, Inc. (HFI) team enables the City to rely on an experienced project team that has
extensive experience in the formation of underground utility assessment districts and in working with property
owners throughout the process. HFI is very familiar with AD No. 92 due to prior work conducted in March 2004. This
effort included developing three assessment scenarios considering complex issues between residential and commer-
cial property types, conducting a comprehensive field review with photographs for documentation, and attending
meetings with property and business owners per the City's request. As the City reviews HFI's qualifications, we want
to draw your attention to the following key issues:
HFI's Proven Abilityto Provide Assessment Engineering Services
• HFI's key project team members, Ms. Deborah Cobb and Mr. Jon Bourgeois, P.E., have the
expertise and knowledge to establish the Districts in legal compliance with the "Municipal Improvement
Act of 1913" , the "Majority Protest Act of 1931," and Proposition 218.
• HFI's Project Manager, Deborah Cobb, has over 15 years of assessment engineering experience and has
formed underground utility assessment districts for the cities of Newport Beach as well as Laguna Beach,
Hermosa Beach, San Clemente, and Manhattan Beach.
• HFI's Assessment Engineer, Jon Bourgeois, P.E. has over 25 years of engineering experience including
the formation of assessment districts to fund street, streetlights, underground utilities, storm drain, and
sewer improvements.
• Since Ms. Cobb assisted the City of Newport Beach to form Utility Underground District No. 92 and is
currently assisting the City with AD 95 and 100, she is familiar with City staff and understands the City's
policies.
HFI's Team Commits to a Smooth Formation Process
• Ms. Cobb takes pride in providing good Client service by responding to City staff and property owners in
a timely manner.
• Since HFI's team is conveniently located in Irvine, the team can easily commute to Newport Beach to
meet with City staff, utility companies, and neighborhood leaders.
• Ms. Cobb understands the need to communicate the formation process and the benefits of an
underground utility assessment district to the property owners and enjoys working with the public.
• HFI's team recently formed three out of five underground utility assessment districts for the City of
Manhattan Beach. In addition, Ms. Cobb conducted powerpoint presentations for both Council
meetings and property owner meetings to discuss the formation process and the method and formula of
the assessments.
0 Hall &Foreman Inc. ,
s
■ Ms. Cobb always meets critical deadlines as required in the formation process.
HFI will not be utilizing the services of subconsultantsfor this project. All work will be performed in -house from HFI's
Corporate Headquarters located in Irvine, CA.
A copy of HFI's Proposed Fee is included in the separate sealed envelope marked "Proposal Fee to Provide Assess-
ment District No. 92 Engineering Services to Establish an Underground Utility Assessment District"
The proposed fee for forming Assessment District No. 92 is based on HFI's billing rates for the Fiscal Year 2003-
2004. The proposed schedule indicates that the Fee Schedule, Tasks 1 and 2, will be performed upon Notice to
Proceed for the duration of four weeks. Then HFI's district formation tasks will be on hold for approximately three
years while the utility companies are designing the project. HFI will resume the formation process starting with Task
3 estimated during the Spring 2008. HFI reserves the right to negotiate an increase in the billing rates when work
resumes and reserves the right to terminate the contract if the negotiated fees are not acceptable.
By selecting HFI, the City will receive an experienced team who understands formations, a Project Manager that
takes pride in the service provided, and assurance that Assessment District No. 92 will be formed in compliance the
with legal statutes. HFI looks forward to working with the City of Newport Beach on the upcoming District.
Respectfully,
Hall & Foreman, Inc.
