TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL

SUBJECT: OCEANFRONT SAND REPLENISHMENT - APPROVAL OF
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH MOFFATT AND
NICHOL FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a Professional Services Agreement with Moffatt & Nichol, of Long Beach,
California, for professional engineering services at a not to exceed price of $173,498
and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Agreement.
DISCUSSION:
Sand replenishment in Newport Beach has always been vital in keeping the beaches
well nourished. Although ocean currents cause sand to move in, out, down, and up the
coast, referred to as littoral drift, Newport Beach has been able to maintain its wide
beaches because of the ongoing federal sand replenishment projects at
Surfside/Sunset and West Newport. The City Council approved a professional. services
agreement with Moffatt and Nichol (M &N) in October 2005 to document the
phenomenon. At the September 12, 2006 Council study session the State of the
Newport Beach Shoreline report was presented. The presentation gave an overview on
the history of Newport beaches and included recommendations to maintain the quality
of our oceanfront.
The major recommendation of the study noted that the wide beaches in West Newport,
from the Santa Ana River to approximately 56"' Street, were stable and growing slightly.
However, the width of the beaches between 56th Street and the Newport Pier, if not
replenished, will slowly reduce in size. M &N recommended that every three to five
years a CIP maintenance project be performed to transport approximately 50,000 to
75,000 cubic yards of sand from the upper West Newport beaches to the lower
numbered streets (28th to 44th Streets).
Prior to moving forward with the sand replenishment project, contract documents must be
prepared to clearly define the sand relocation. These documents would need to be

reviewed by the regulatory agencies and ultimately a Coastal Development Permit (CDP)
would need to be issued for the project. Our goal would be to obtain a long term
maintenance permit from the Coastal Commission and all regulatory agencies to allow
the City to continue these projects in the future without obtaining new permits each time.
Staff considered using URS of Huntington Beach, Noble Consultants of Irvine and M &N
for this project. M &N is considered experts in this field and has preformed well in. the
preparation of the State of Newport Beach Shoreline report. Staff recommends
continuing with this coastal expert for the preparation of construction documents,
completing the environmental review and obtaining all necessary permits to accomplish
the sand replenishment effort by approving the professional services agreement.
The scope of M &N's professional services will include:
• Attending meetings with City staff and community members
• Prepare Concept Designs for various alternatives for review by regulator agencies
• Prepare Initial Study and necessary Environmental Documentation.
• Secure permits from Federal, State, and Local agencies (USACE, RWQCB, CCC,
and State Lands Commission)
• Prepare final plans and specifications
•
Construction support services
• Continued support in sand monitoring
M &N will be preparing the necessary documents to obtain environmental clearance for
the anticipated sand replenishment project. Additional services may be required to
obtain full environmental clearance of the final defined project.
Environmental Review:
Engineering services are not projects as defined in the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) Implementing Guidelines. M &N will be preparing the necessary CEQA
documentation required for the final defined project.
Funding Availabilit :
There are sufficient funds available in the following account for the project:

Attn: Mr. Michael Sinacori, P.E., Project Manager
Subj: Exhibit A — Scope of Services for Beach Sand Project, Revised Proposal for Consulting
Services
Dear Mr. Sinacori:
Moffatt & Nichol (M &N) is pleased to present this revised proposal for consulting services for
the City's beach sand project. The City needs planning and engineering services to manage the
beaches as identified in the recent Beach Sand and Shoreline Study. We perform these services
for other Cities and are well- qualified to help the City initiate actions recommended in the report.
The proposed scope of work, fee, and schedule are provided below for your consideration.
Proposed Scope of Services
The following tasks are proposed as part of the additional beach management services:
1. Meet once with the West Newport Beach Homeowners Association and the general beach
use public to present the proposed beach management strategy.
2. Prepare concept designs of sand backpassing scenarios showing sand sources (the Santa
Ana River mouth) and placement configurations to serve as the basis of a project
description for permits and environmental review.
3. Apply for permits to perform the sand management activities. Permits will include those
from the following agencies:
a. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers;
b. Regional Water Quality Control Board;
c. California Coastal Commission;
d. State Lands Commission; and
e. City of Newport Beach.
It is assumed no permits are required from the County.

4. Perform environmental review consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). The CEQA document will be prepared by the'Chambers Group, Inc. as a
subconsultant to M &N and their proposal to M &N is attached. They assume that a
Mitigated Negative Declaration will be required based on their understanding of the
project. All services to satisfy CEQA are included in this task.
5. Prepare Final Engineering Plans, Specifications and Estimates for sand backpassing from
near the mouth of the Santa Ana River to lower West Newport.
6. Provide construction support services.
7. Attend regular meetings with City staff to report progress (one meeting per month).
8. Assist City lifeguards with implementing the Littoral Environmental Observations
program by instructing staff on taking measurements, and assisting with data reduction
and analyses.
Proposed Fee
The scope of work can be completed for an estimated fee of $173,498. The table on the
following page shows the fee by task.
Proposed Schedule and Key Staling
The project can be completed within one year from Notice -to- Proceed, assuming timely internal
permit processing and environmental review by the City. Delays in processing would result in
corresponding delays in the project completion date. Key staff persons to perform the work are
Chris Webb as the Senior Project Manager (and manager of the recent Newport Beach Sand
Study project) and Russ Boudreau, Principal Coastal Engineer to perform oversight and quality
assurance and control of the engineering.
Thank you for the opportunity to assist the City on this important project and please contact me
with any questions or comments regarding this proposal.
Sincerely
MOFFATT & NICHOL
