This report is intended to provide notice to the City Council of a contract for professional
services between the City of Newport Beach and The Planning Center for the
preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) associated with a project to
expand the existing Hyatt Regency hotel at 1107 Jamboree Road. The original contract
amount was $135,565, which was paid for by the project applicant ( Sunstone Hotel
Investors, Inc.). However, the scope of work has been expanded as to require the
Planning Center to: 1) review environmental documentation provided by the applicant;
2) perform additional analysis related to air quality and traffic concerns; and 3) account
for additional meetings and project management labor not anticipated under the original
scope. The estimated budget to complete this additional analysis is $35,735, resulting in
a total contract amount of $171,300. The applicant has been notified of the amended
contract amount and has agreed to fund the amount.
