SUBJECT: BIG CANYON AREA JOINT SEWER PROJECT — APPROVAL OF A
REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT WITH ORANGE COUNTY
SANITATION DISTRICT AND APPROVAL OF PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH WALDEN & ASSOCIATES FOR
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT SERVICES
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Approve Reimbursement Agreement with the Orange County Sanitation District
for the realignment and rehabilitation of the Big Canyon Trunk Sewer.
2. Approve Budget Amendment appropriating $140,450 in account 7251- C5600292
and increase revenue estimates by the same amount for reimbursement from
OCSD to be received in FY 05/06.
3. Approve a Professional Services Agreement with Walden & Associates, of Irvine,
California, for design and construction support services for the Big Canyon Trunk
Sewer at a contract price of $140,450 and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to
execute the Agreement.
DISCUSSION:
The Orange County Sanitation District's (OCSD) Big Canyon Trunk Sewer traverses
through the Big Canyon development bordered by MacArthur Blvd, San Joaquin Hills
Road, Jamboree Road and Ford Road. A majority of the trunk is located on the Big
Canyon Country Club (BCCC) Golf Course and a small portion is within private
developments.
The Big Canyon Trunk currently has a 15 -foot wide easement through the golf course
and homeowner's property that has limited vehicle access due to steep slopes and
lakes. This requires OCSD to utilize the BCCC cart paths and the adjacent Home
Owners Association's (HOA) private roads. Currently, access is limited to Mondays,
when the golf course is closed.

The OCSD 2004 -05 Capital Improvement Program Budget includes two projects to
address areas where structural failure of the pipeline has occurred. These projects
have been delayed since 1999 due to various details involving the BCCC and the
adjacent homeowner's association, and the unexpectedly high costs associated with
replacing the 40 -foot deep sewer. The total project budget for these projects is
$2,000,000.
The City owns and maintains the remaining sewers within the Big Canyon
Development. Several of the City sewers traverse through easement areas that make
access, and subsequently maintenance, difficult at best. As part of the City's Master
Plan of Sewers, a majority of sewers were televised within the Big Canyon area in
2002. As of this date, Staff has not completed televising all of the sewer mains
because of access coordination difficulties. Though most of the mains televised
appeared to have adequate structural integrity, they did show signs of root damage at
the joints and, in some cases, joint failure has occurred. In the 05/06 proposed CIP all
easement sewer mains are slated for an internal liner to eliminate the root intrusion and
to repair broken joints. This work was to be included within the FY 2005/06 Citywide
Sewer Main Master Plan Improvements project ($500,000). The cost of the needed
work within the Big Canyon Area will determined in the design process.
BCCC is interested in the City and OCSD pursuing a joint construction project to
minimize the overall construction impacts to the Golf Course and coordinate with their
planned site and clubhouse improvements scheduled to begin this fall and next spring
respectively. BCCC is offering OCSD a new alignment outside the fairways for better
access, a wider access easement (up to 25 -feet wide) to allow for large vehicles, and
the use of open cut construction methods to reduce OCSD overall construction costs.
BCCC has also requested that the City take the lead on the overall sewer
improvements to help expedite and coordinate with their planned improvements (see
attached letter). The joint project will also allow the City to relocate deep sewer mains
in and around the BCCC Clubhouse area.
The proposed reimbursement agreement would contain the following provisions:
• OCSD will reimburse the City for costs to design and construct the OCSD sewer
improvement project including a 4% administration fee ($80,000 based upon a
$2 million project). The OCSD Board has authorized $2,000,000 for the project
with the ability to increase that amount with Board approval. A more detailed cost
estimate will be available at the conclusion of the design process.
• City will pay for the design and construction of the City sewer improvements not
required by the OCSD improvements.
• City will be the lead on CEQA processing for the project with OCSD reimbursing
the City for any costs related to their improvements.
• OCSD will have the authority to review and approve all plans, inspect the
construction, and approve all change orders.

District and Approval of Professional Services Agreement with Walden & Associates for Design and Construction

• BCCC will provide new easements to the OCSD and City for the new alignments.
The joint construction project will minimize impacts to the community by completing all
the improvements in concert with BCCC construction projects. This should also
minimize cost impacts for site and road restoration since the larger construction efforts
will continue after the sewer improvements are completed. The joint project will also
allow both OCSD and the City to take advantage of a larger replacement and lining
project that should result in overall lower costs to both agencies.
Environmental Review:
City Staff has reviewed the City's portion of the project and will recommend to City
Council that it be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Section 15302 of the CEQA Implementing Guidelines when the project is
authorized by the City Council. This exemption covers the maintenance and alteration
of existing public facilities with negligible expansion of the facilities in areas that are not
environmentally sensitive. In 1999, OCSD certified a Program Environmental Impact
Report (PEIR), which included the Big Canyon Trunk Sewer improvements. An
amendment may be necessary to that EIR if new impacts are determined to be outside
the impacts identified in 1999.
Funding Availability and Schedule:
Upon approval of the recommended Budget Amendment, sufficient funds are available
in the following account for the immediate need of contracting with Walden and
Associates. OCSD will be invoiced for design and construction work as efforts take
place and, by the proposed reimbursement agreement, will be reimbursing the City for
its expenditures relating to their portion of the joint project.

Contributions 7251- C5600292 $140,450
The joint project design efforts should be completed this summer with the anticipation of
starting the sewer improvements in the fall.

RE: OCSD Big Canyon Trunk Sewer line replacement
Dear Mr. Ludwin,
Thank you for meeting with the City and Big Canyon Country Club (BCCC) on Monday,
March 14, 2005 to discuss the subject project. BCCC would like to reemphasize the
importance of combining any and all sewer activities into one coordinated project with the
City of Newport Beach as the lead agency. We have successfully completed protects similar
in nature with the City's coordination, administration and implementation to meet our critical
construction time lines. We are confident in the City's ability to coordinate this project in a
sensitive manner with the appropriate attention to detail.
Planning for a project of this size will require commitments on all parties. The club currently
plans for construction of its pond fill project beginning in late August 2005, barring any
unforeseen issues. The opportunity for the Trunk Sewer line to be replaced concurrently is
advantageous in that disruption to the club would occur roughly at one time.
BCCC is available to assist OCSD and the City of Newport Beach in planning the crucial
steps to make this project a success. BCCC is also willing to grant new sewer easements to
OCSD to accommodate the new alignment. Should you have any questions, please contact
Jeff Beardsley our course superintendent with any onsite related issues.
Sincerely,
�CYI-L���

Sewer Realignment plans prepared in October 2004 by this office, between Jamboree Road and
MacArthur Boulevard. Generally this work will consist of the design of a new sewer main at a
higher elevation than the existing main, and lining a portion of the existing sewer main that is not
realigned. It is our understanding that this contract will be issued and administered by the City of
Newport Beach but that the plans and specifications will be done in conformance with the Orange
County Sanitation District (OCSD) Standards and Specifications.
Enclosed you will find the Exhibit A — Scope of Services and Compensation, Exhibit B — Standard
Rate Schedule.
We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal and to be of service to you and the City. If
you have any questions please give me a call.
Sincerely,
IDaddL. Bacon (via a -mail)

Walden & Associates Contract Agreement
with City of Newport Beach
EXHIBIT "A"
SCOPE OF SERVICES and COMPENSATION
Consultant agrees to perform the following Scope of Services:
May 18, 2005
In performing its services hereunder, Walden & Associates has or will receive information prepared
or compiled by others, the accuracy and completeness of which Walden & Associates is entitled to
rely upon without independent evaluation or verification.
Task 1: Field Joins Survey:
Using the 1" = 40' scale topographic mapping previously prepared by this office for this
project area, we will field locate and dip the flowlines (to the best of our ability) of the
existing manholes that will be joined or modified by new construction. We will also locate
any visible hard improvements in the vicinity of new manholes. This does not include non-
essential manholes for design purposes of a new trunk line. Horizontal survey control
points will be set on an intervisable line that can be used for construction control. Onsite
bench marks will be set for vertical control of the construction process.
Task 2: Design Development Meetings. Coordination and Project Management:
Provide an allowance of approximately 24 hours for research, design development project
meetings, project coordination and project management with client, consultants and
governing agencies during the process of establishing and approving the Preliminary
Engineering Phase of the project. This would include research for existing plans at the City
and at Big Canyon Country Club. Information shown from the referenced plans will be
noted on the base topo for design purposes of sewer plan and profile sheets.
Task 3: Sewer Improvement Plan:
Prepare Sewer Improvement Plans for the proposed sewer main from Jamboree Road to
MacArthur Boulevard. This includes plan and profile of the main line with connections or
relocations for any existing service sewer lines that join the existing sewer main line.
Alternatives will be suggested to accommodate maintaining existing flow though the new
sewer trunk line during the construction period. Final interim connections or bypass
facilities will be the responsibility of the contractor as specified in the contract documents.
Task 4: Quantity and Cost Estimates:
Prepare a preliminary cost estimate for budgeting purposes based on preliminary plan and
profiles. Prepare final quantity estimates to be included in the contract document portion of
the specifications for all construction work as shown on the final plans. Our best estimate
will be made to include a provision for items that might not be quantifiable within the golf
course due to a lack of reference plans.
Task 5: Specifications:
Prepare Special Provisions for the OCSD boiler plate specifications, modified as
necessary, to include project specific requirements.

Task 6: Sewer Easements:
Prepare new sewer easement legal descriptions and plats for the realigned sewer main
based on easement widths negotiated with Big Canyon County Club. We would also
include easements and plats for those sewer service lines that connect to the existing
sewer main. Upstream limits of these service line easements will be the point of
connection. The client is to provide copies of all existing easements to be joined or
modified.
Task 7: Meetings Coordination and Processinq (T &M Budget):
Provide an allowance of approximately 80 hours for proiect meetings and project
coordination with client and consultants and processing of plans with governing agencies
during the final design period. This allowance is for budget purposes only and will be billed
on an hourly basis for work as required.
Task 8: Construction Phase Services (T &M Budget
Provide an allowance of approximately 284 hours for construction phase services as
required for the project. This includes responding to RFI's, providing clarification of the
drawing; responding to shop drawings, change orders and field visits as needed. Our best
estimate at this time, for field visits to confirm progress, will be twice a week for
approximately 4 months. Record drawings will be prepared based on a set of redlined
construction plans, supplied by the contractor, at the end of construction. This allowance is
for budget purposes only and will be billed on an hourly basis for work as required. This
does not include construction staking, inspections, certifications or site supervision of any
nature.
Task 9: Reimbursables:
Generally we will. use the City's account at Mouse Reprographics for reproduction and
deliveries. However, for times when this is inconvenient we will provide an allowance for
reimbursables to include blueprinting, CAD plotting, reproduction and deliveries.
