CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 9

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Public Works Department

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 $98,268 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. The State of the Newport Beach Shoreline was presented at the
September 12, 2006 Council Study Session. 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 56th 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).
The Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is preparing another phase of its Surfside /Sunset
Sand Replenishment Project. Newport Beach is a partner with the Corps on this long
term project between Surfside and the Harbor entrance. In the past, Newport has seen
sand moving efforts done by the Corps and since our recent M &N report shows a need in

Moffatt and Nichol for Engineering Services
December 11, 2007
Page 2
Newport Beach, the Corps is willing to move forward with a sand replenishment effort if
the City assists with design and public outreach efforts.
Prior to moving forward with the sand replenishment project in Newport, plans and
specifications must be prepared to clearly define the sand relocation. This plan would
need to be reviewed by the Corps in concert with the community outreach. M &N will also
study the near shore profile data for potential future dredging projects from either the
Santa Ana River or the Semeniuk Slough. This information is critical to allow those
projects to move forward in future years. M &N will also develop a Littoral Environmental
Observation (LEO) program and instructing our lifeguards on the proper technique of
taking the measurements.
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 contract plans and to assist in the
public outreach to accomplish the sand replenishment effort by the Corps.
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 regulatory agencies.
• Prepare final engineering plans and specifications for use by the Corps.
• Construction support services during the project, mainly for public outreach.
• Continued support in sand monitoring.
Environmental Review:
Engineering services are not projects as defined in the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) Implementing Guidelines. M &N will assist the Corps in preparing the
necessary environmental documentation required for the final defined project.
Funding Availability:
There are sufficient funds available in the following account:

Subj: Exhibit A — Scope of Services for Beach Sand Project, Revised Final 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. The
work is based on assuming that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers secures all permits, performs
environmental review, and hires and manages the contractor.
Proposed Scope of Services
The following tasks are proposed as part of the additional beach management services:
1. Meet approximately three times with the West Newport Beach Homeowners Association
and the general beach use public to present the proposed beach management strategy.
2. Assess the possibility of a nearshore mound created by nourishment to move onshore and
nourish the groin field, and assess historic and recent beach profiles for beach width and
volume changes within the groin field as further justification for a USACE project.
3. Prepare concept designs of sand backpassing scenarios showing sand sources (the Santa
Ana River mouth) and placement configurations consistent with the desires of the
community to serve as the basis of a project description for permits and environmental
review.

management activities. The USACE will secure permits 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.
5. Prepare Final Engineering Plans and Specifications for sand backpassing from near the
mouth of the Santa Ana River to lower West Newport for use by the USACE.
6. Provide construction support and community outreach services during the back - passing
as required.
7. Attend regular meetings with City staff to report progress (one meeting per month for 12
total).
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 $98,268. The table below shows the

Proposed Schedule and Key Staffing
The entire project, including construction support, 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 myself, Russ Boudreau as
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.
