CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 9
July 28, 2009
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Public Works Department
Michael J. Sinacori, Assistant City Engineer
949 - 644 -3342 or msinacod @city.newport- beach.ca.us
SUBJECT: ENGINEERING ON -CALL SERVICES - APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT
TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH CIVIL WORKS
ENGINEERS, INC.; PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH SO
CAL WALDEN, INC. DBA WALDEN & ASSOCIATES; AND
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH C &C ENGINEERING,
INC. DBA CNC
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Approve Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services Agreement with Civil Works
Engineers, Inc., for on -call engineering services and authorize the Mayor and City
Clerk to execute Amendment No. 1.
2. Approve Professional Services Agreement with So Cal Walden, Inc. dba Walden &
Associates ( "Walden & Associates') for on -call engineering and surveying services
and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Professional Services
Agreement.
3. Approve Professional Services Agreement with C &C Engineering, Inc. dba CNC
( "CNC') for on -call engineering services and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to
execute the Professional Services Agreement.
DISCUSSION:
On -Call Professional Services Agreements (PSAs) were developed to avoid a large
volume of small but time - consuming agreements between the City and consultants to
accomplish on -going project tasks for implementation of the Capital Improvement
Program (CIP). The On -Call PSA is similar to the standardized PSA used by the City
with the exception of Section 2 (Services to be Provided) and Section 4 (Compensation
to the Consultant). These sections have been modified to allow the consultant to
provide services for multiple projects at fees that are set for a period of time.

On -Call Professional Services Agreements allow the City to retain consultants in an
amount not to exceed $50,000 per specific capital project. If cumulative amendments to
an On -Call Project cause the total contract value to exceed the $50,000 limit, a separate
Professional Services Agreement with Council approval is required pursuant to Council
Policy F- 14(A)(B).
In accordance with Council Policy F -14, staff requested statements of qualifications
from local firms. Based on the qualifications received, staff recommends a continuation
of the On -Call Agreement with Civil Works Engineers, Inc. which was entered into on
June 26, 2007. Civil Works Engineers, Inc. provided on -call construction engineering
services for the River Avenue Pedestrian Coastal Access Improvements Project. The
City has since entered into a separate Professional Services Agreement with Civil
Works Engineers, Inc. for the design of the final construction plans for River Avenue.
As Civil Works Engineers, Inc. has and continues to provide quality service, the City
would like to renew its on -call relationship with them.
Walden & Associates is based in Irvine and has provided engineering and surveying
services for numerous cities throughout Southern California, including Huntington Beach,
Brea, Corona, Fountain Valley and Newport Beach. Walden & Associates has provided
the City with excellent service on previous past projects and is knowledgeable of the
City standards and requirements.
CNC is a mid -sized engineering firm with strong qualifications. The firm has provided
engineering design and construction management services for public agencies and
private clients throughout Southern California for the past 23 years.
The proposed On -Call Agreements would be effective through March 30, 2011.
Rates included in the agreements are competitive and in line with industry standards.
The new fees for various services are either unchanged or approximately 4 -10% higher
than 2007. Please refer to the attached table for rate comparisons.
Funding Availabilit
Funds for these services are available in specific project accounts within the City
Council approved Capital Improvement Program.

Description of Services
Civil Works Engineers
Description of Services Provided
Civil Works Engineers, Inc. is a professional civil engineering consulting firm providing a broad range of
planning and design services for transportation, drainage, and site civil projects.
Tra vksportatiovti
Our transportation engineers are specialized in both freeway system facilities working with Caltrans and on
local street improvement projects working with municipalities and developers. Our staff has worked on
privately- funded Caltrans facilities improvements since 1983. Our projects range from simple road
rehabilitations to complex reconstruction of interchanges. We maintain proficiency in the always evolving 4
phase Caltrans project development process including Project Study Reports, Project Reports, Plans
Specifications and Estimates, and construction engineering services. We also have considerable experience
processing smaller state facility projects through the Caltrans encroachment permit process. In addition to the
more typical planning and design for transportation projects, we have assisted numerous clients with funding
assistance through research and preparation of funding applications at the local, state, and federal levels
including the HBRR program. Project and program management, cost estimating, and scheduling are
fundamental to these projects.
site
Our site planning and design experience involves both public and private facilities including parks, office
buildings, hotels, parking structures, schools from K -12 and beyond, child care centers, retail centers, libraries,.
and fire stations. We prepare the precise site grading and drainage design along with the appropriate utility
modifications and /or coordination for tie-ins from the offsite utility facility to the onsite new facility. This
includes water and sewer connections and coordination with electrical, phone, and gas systems. Our work
Includes schematic design, design development, construction documents, and engineering assistance during
construction.
AYA%I�.GiAe
Our drainage experience includes complete project preparation from the project concept evaluation of
drainage impacts and local parameters to the development of drainage plans followed by construction. Most
projects involve an increase in impervious area resulting in an increase In storm water flows. Subsequently, the
additional quantity, direction, and quality of flow must be evaluated to determine the appropriate means of
discharge and the most suitable best management practices (BMPsi. We prepare hydrology and hydraulic
studies and reports, followed by implementation of the recommendations into final plans whether it consists of
modifications to existing systems or entirely new drainage systems. We also have extensive experience in
storm water handling including the preparation of Storm Water Data Reports as required by Caltrans, water
quality management plans for permanent BMPs after construction, and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans
(SWPPP) for temporary 8MPs during construction.
Civil Works Engineers provides continuous client interaction to meet the project needs for schedule, funding,
and quality_ We have maintained long -term clients over numerous years, demonstrating their satisfaction with
Civil Works Engineers' services.
Civil Works Engineers is a certified DBE/WBE/SBE

David Grantham, P.E. - Civil Engineer/ Utility Engineer
Alvaro Perez - Junior Engineer

Section 3 - Advance Notice Requirements
Time commitments ultimately depend on the scope assigned to us and our current backlog.
Fluctuations in workload are dependent on the timing of staff involvement, the current ongoing
activity of staff, the type and duration of proposed work assignment, and correspondingly the
personnel assigned (whether technical design or agency review /assistance), etc.
Although all of our proposed staff members are currently committed to other projects as would
be expected for any active consulting business, at this time, many of our projects are in
construction or are winding down affording us the ability to take on additional work.
If the City selects us for this on -call work, when the City contacts us with a specific project, we
will assess our workload and staffing capability at that time along with the City's project and
schedule requirements. We will inform the City if we can take on the project within our current
workload.
We have performed work for clients with design fees of a few thousand dollars to well over
$500,000. The expected effort for the City's proposed project and the desired schedule will
ultimately play the role in determining if we can take the project on. For our small firm, our
reputation is highly dependent upon delivery of a quality product within the expected time frame.
As such, we will be honest with the City of our ability to perform.
