TITLE: Fourth Amendment to Professional Services Agreement with
Anchor, QEA, L.P. for Agency Coordination and Construction
Management Services for the Rhine Channel Dredging Project
ABSTRACT:
The Rhine Channel Dredging Project ( "Project') has been in the planning process for
many years, and Anchor QEA, L.P. has been instrumental in bringing the Project to this
final stage before construction. This Fourth Amendment to the Professional Services
Agreement ( "PSA ") will include agency coordination, sediment and water quality
sampling during construction, and construction management services.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Approve the Fourth Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with
Anchor, QEA, L.P. for agency coordination and construction management
services for the Rhine Channel Project; and
2a. If the State Lands Commission does not object to this proposed expenditure,
approve Budget Amendment No. 11- appropriating $624,964 from
the un- appropriated Tidelands Fund to 7231- C4402004; and
2b. If the State Lands Commission does object to this proposed expenditure,
approve Budget Amendment No. 11 -- appropriating $624,964 from
un- appropriated General Fund (010 -3605) to 7014- C4402004. In the event of
an objection, City staff will work with the State Lands Commission to address
their concerns and seek approval of the proposed expenditure and
authorization to reimburse the General Fund from the Tidelands Fund.

FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
The Budget Amendment records and appropriates $624,964 in increased expenditure
appropriations from either unappropriated General Fund (010 -3605) or unappropriated
Tidelands Fund.
DISCUSSION:
The Project is complex in many ways, particularly because: (1) It is a remediation
project where sediment is unsuitable for ocean disposal yet compatible with the strict
requirements of the Port of Long Beach's ( "POLB ") Middle Harbor Fill site; (2) The
POLB has strict requirements for placement of sediment into their confined disposal
facility with zero tolerance for contractor error; (3) The City will be dredging under
private commercial and residential docks, and also replacing privately owned dock piles
that are within the dredge footprint; and (4) Vessels will be relocated during dredging
and pile replacement, requiring coordination with all waterfront property owners.
Anchor QEA has assisted the City with the preparation and planning for this Project for
years, and their contract has been amended many times to reflect the ongoing work
required for each step of the process. Staff recommends continuing the City's
relationship with Anchor QEA and entering into this Fourth Amendment with Anchor
QEA based upon their unique historical knowledge of the Project, working relationship
with the POLB, and most importantly, the compressed timeframe of the Project's
upcoming sequence of events. A summary of Anchor QEA's previous and proposed
work on the Project includes:
• Initial Contract, July 2009: CEQA work for Rhine dredging, and engineering work
to design a Confined Aquatic Disposal site in Newport Harbor.
• Amendment #1, November 2009: Change focus from in- harbor disposal to new
POLB disposal opportunity. Adjust CEQA work accordingly.
• Amendment #2, June 2010: Final engineering evaluation, design and permitting
support for Rhine dredging with POLB disposal.
• Amendment #3, October 2010: Guide pile structural analysis and dock condition
survey to finalize the plans for bidding.
• Amendment #4, April 2011: Agency coordination, sediment and water quality
sampling during construction, and construction management.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Anchor QEA has submitted a new scope of services that details the tasks needed to
dredge the Rhine by December 2011. Under the proposed Fourth Amendment, Anchor
QEA would continue to be retained on a time and materials basis (not -to- exceed
amount) for the tasks summarized below and included as Attachment D. With that said,
however, the Project would be actively managed by Harbor Resources so that this not -
to- exceed cost could be further reduced through efficiencies in the field (e.g. utilizing
City staff for water quality and sediment sampling, increased field City staff time to
support Anchor etc.). Typical construction management levels for similar projects would
range from 10 to 15 percent of the contract value. The target level of effort for this
current scope of services is closer to 7 percent of the Engineer's Estimate because it is
assumed that City staff will assist in the management process. (The 7 percent figure is
derived by adding labor costs for the Rhine and the Marina Park/American Legion work.
All other tasks are not included in the 7 percent figure because they represent non-
standard costs associated with the regulatory aspects of the Project, e.g. water quality
and sediment monitoring, air quality compliance, etc... and are not typical of most
construction projects.)
The goal of the Project is to remove as much contaminated material as possible,
meaning the dredging design is ultimately a target, or an estimate, of the work to be
completed. The actual effort will be adjusted in the field based on field sampling results.
Also, a significant portion of the docks in the Rhine are in poor condition, therefore
requiring special attention during the pile removal /replacement stage. And lastly, the
contractor will be under close scrutiny by staff, local residents and owners, as well as
the POLB managers, to ensure that all procedures are followed properly and that
communication remains open and constant. Anchor QEA will quickly and confidently
address any and all issues that arise in an efficient manner while also protecting the
City's interest.
The scope of services is broken down into two distinct Phases with corresponding
Tasks associated with each phase. A third, future, post- Project Phase is also discussed
but is not a part of this current scope of services. A summary of Phases 1 & 2 are
outlined below:
Phase 1 — Rhine Channel Construction Preparation and Stakeholder Coordination
Task 1: POLB Coordination
Anchor QEA will assist the City in developing and implementing a successful
Memorandum of Agreement for dredged material placement at the POLB. This includes
assisting with an approved fill plan schedule, coordinating with the City Attorney's
Fourth Amendment to Professional Services Agreement with Anchor, QEA, L.P. for
Agency Coordination and Construction Management Services for the Rhine Channel
Dredging Project
April 12, 2011
Page 4
Office, and coordinating with the POLB staff to provide Project information for regional
agency updates.
Estimated cost is $12,720.
Task 2: Contractor Selection and Pre - Dredge Deliverables
Anchor QEA will lead the contractor solicitation and selection process, including
preparing the final contract documents and leading a pre -bid meeting. Once bids are
received, Anchor QEA will work closely with the City to review and comment on each
bid package, compare bid prices, check references, and assist the City in selecting and
negotiating a dredge contractor. Once a contractor has been selected, Anchor QEA will
lead the preparation of agency submittals and review of contractor submittals, including:
• Dredge and Disposal Work Plan. This plan will be completed by the contractor
but reviewed by Anchor QEA and the City for consistencies with Project
specification, then submitted to the agencies to receive a Notice to Proceed.
• Project Schedule and Work Sequence. This plan will be completed by the
contractor but reviewed by Anchor QEA and the City, then submitted to the
agencies to receive a Notice to Proceed.
• Pile Replacement Plan. This plan will be completed by the contractor and will
focus on procedures, equipment, and schedule for removing and replacing all
piles. The plan will be reviewed by Anchor QEA and the City, and then submitted
to the Coastal Commission for permit compliance.
• Pre- Dredge Survey. The City is required to perform a pre- dredge survey of the
Project after bid opening, but prior to the start of construction, to determine pay
quantities with the contractor. Anchor QEA will retain a subcontractor for this
survey. Estimated cost is $18,000.
• Pre- Construction Eelgrass and Caulerpa Survey. The City is required to
perform this survey as part of the permit conditions. Estimated cost is $3,000.
• Final Water Quality Monitoring and Reporting Plan. (Labor associated with
this Task is already covered under a previous Scope of Services with Anchor
QEA [Amendment #3j, but is included here as a deliverable for report
completeness.) This document is currently under review by the Water Board, and
will be finalized soon.

• Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Plan. This plan will be
completed by the contractor but reviewed by Anchor QEA and the City, then
submitted to the agencies to receive a Notice to Proceed.
• Vessel Relocation Plan and Implementation Schedule. The City and Anchor
will develop this complex plan which will include close coordination with the
various property owners, Harbor Patrol (managers of the moorings) and the
contractor to ensure the project proceeds as smoothly as possible. This
deliverable will require the most effort to complete.
• Final Construction Staging and Off - Loading Plan. This plan will be
completed by the contractor but reviewed by Anchor QEA and the City, then
submitted to the Coastal Commission for permit compliance.
• Health and Safety Plan. This plan will be completed by the contractor but
reviewed by Anchor QEA and the City, then provided to all staff working on the
Project including City staff and agency representatives visiting the site.
Estimated cost is $59,350.
Task 3: Pre - Construction Tenant and Stakeholder Coordination
Anchor QEA will assist with outreach to the community, Council Members and individual
property owners along the Rhine regarding issues related to vessel relocation, site
access and construction scheduling. (Harbor Resources staff will be heavily involved in
this process and it is likely the estimated costs will be reduced.)
Estimated cost is $23,770.
Phase 2 — Rhine Channel Construction Management and Field Monitoring
Task 1: Rhine Channel Construction Management
The Harbor Resources Manager will continue to be the lead Project Manager, with
Anchor QEA providing both on- and off -site construction management services to assist
the City. Anchor QEA staff will be present on the site 50 percent of the time the
contractor is working (12 hours /day, 6 days /week) to be adjusted upwards or
downwards as the Project's needs change. Anchor QEA staff will be on -call day or
night to respond appropriately. The amount of time required for construction
management is a direct correlation with the experience of the contractor selected and
the number of issues that arise during construction (e.g. damages to existing structures,
unforeseen changes in site conditions, unexpected debris etc...).

Agency Coordination and Construction Management Services for the Rhine Channel
Dredging Project
April 12, 2011

Typical on -site construction manager activities would include the following:
• Pre - construction meeting with contractor and City to review construction
requirements, expectations, lines of communication, logistics, permit compliance
and other issues.
• Assisting the City with implementation of the vessel relocation plan.
• Observing the technical conduct of the contractor's work for overall quality and
compliance.
• Meeting with the contractor on a regular basis each day to observe and discuss
progress, schedule etc...
• Reviewing interim surveys to verify dredging depths, slopes and horizontal
extents.
• Tracking dredging rate and proper filling of haul barges.
• Planning, participating and conducting weekly progress meetings.
• Providing day -to -day interpretation of contract requirements and responding to
contractor Requests for Information, including in- the -field resolution of minor
issues.
• Performing or arranging, and overseeing field measurements to determine
constructed dimensions and extents, payable quantities, and conformance with
Project requirements.
• Facilitating minor field changes to circumvent costly change orders.
• Verifying final pay quantities using a post- dredge survey.
• Fulfilling all responsibilities of the Engineer per the contract documents.
• Collecting sediment grab samples to assist in making decisions regarding
adequacy of dredging.
• Photographing and videotaping field activities to document the construction
effort.
• Installing and monitoring survey markers on selected seawalls to detect any
measureable deflections on the seawalls during dredging.

• Meeting with local residents and business owners to ensure impacts to vessel
traffic and waterfront businesses are minimized.
• Observing all activities at staging and offloading areas to ensure compliance with
permits.
• Reviewing progress reports and payment requests from contractor for accuracy
and compliance.
• Responding to local resident concern regarding construction activities.
• Reviewing and inspecting guide pile activities and floating dock repairs to ensure
compliance with the contract and to develop specific repair scopes (if needed) so
that contractor efforts and costs are fully controlled.
• Prepare a final punch list of items before the contractor's job is complete.
In addition to the on -site construction manager, Anchor's office staff will be involved to
provide technical and administrative support throughout the Project (e.g. contractor
oversight, stakeholder coordination, sediment sampling, survey and pay volume
reviews, scheduling updates, POLB construction meetings, and progress report
preparation). Anchor QEA will rent an office on the Lido Peninsula to be close to the
Project and to easily facilitate meetings with the City, contractor and others.
Anchor QEA will charge the City on a time and materials basis. It is likely that, during
Project down times, the on -site construction manager may work on other non - related
Anchor QEA projects in the construction office. However, this time spent will not be
charged to the City's Project.
Estimated cost is $383,955. (Of this, $272,180 is for labor, with the remainder
estimated for subcontractors [guide pile oversight, post - construction bathymetric survey,
vessel relocation services, and analytical chemistry] and other direct expenses such as
field office rental, boat rental, and field supplies. Using the Engineer's Estimate of $4
million, the labor portion of the Project represents 6.8 percent of the total amount, which
is almost half of that typically spent on other, similar regional dredging efforts.)
Task 2: Water Quality and Air Quality Monitoring and Reporting
Anchor QEA will be responsible for ensuring permit compliance for all environmental
aspects of the Project, including:
Fourth Amendment to Professional Services Agreement with Anchor, QEA, L.P. for
Agency Coordination and Construction Management Services for the Rhine Channel
Dredging Project
April 12, 2011
Page 8
• Water quality monitoring and reporting prior to, during and after construction
(includes sample collection, processing, and analytical and physical
measurements) according to the Water Quality Monitoring Plan.
• Coordinating water quality and sediment monitoring activities with the contractor.
• Collection and tracking of documents associated with off -site landfill disposal of
other debris not suitable for the POLB.
• Contractor coordination in monitoring and reporting air emission information from
the construction equipment.
• Assisting the City with the coordination and purchase of emission credits for air
quality compliance.
• Providing written progress reports as needed to keep the agencies and City
apprised of environmental compliance of the Project.
• Ensuring compliance with the Southern California Eelgrass Mitigation Policy
including management of the surveys.
The estimated cost is $112,709. (Of this amount, $41,000 is estimated for labor
needed to collect and process samples, with the remaining estimated for chemical
analysis and field equipment rental.)
Task 3: Construction Management for Marina Park /American Legion Dredge
Areas
The level of effort required will be similar to that required within the Rhine Channel,
but is expected to take less time. At the request of the City, Anchor QEA subdivided
this section from the other Tasks so the City could separately track costs for internal
accounting purposes only.
Estimated cost is $30,780.
Summary and Discussion of Costs
The total cost for this Amendment is estimated at $624,964. Of this amount, almost
$164,000 is for subcontractors including almost $100,000 for analytical charges.
$33,000 is estimated for field equipment and supplies. The remaining $419,000 is
estimated for labor between now and the end of the construction period (estimated
to be December 31, 2011). The actual construction management effort (labor only)
for the entire Project is estimated at $302,960 or 1.6 full -time employees for 4.2

months. This cost represents about 7 percent of the Engineer's Estimate as
previously explained in this report. Please also see the table of Estimated Costs on
page 12 of Anchor QEA's proposal.
A provision in the City's Tidelands Grant requires the City to notify the State Lands
Commission ( "SLC") when the City proposes to spend $250,000 or more of
Tidelands Funds. Staff submitted the necessary notice to SLC and will know by the
end of April 2011 if SLC has any objections to the use of Tidelands Funds for the
dredging of the Rhine Channel. In the absence of SLC approval staff recommends
the City Council authorize a general fund appropriation to cover the Rhine Channel
dredging costs. If, and when, SLC approval is obtained the Rhine Channel dredging
will be funded by expenditure from the Tidelands Fund, either through direct
payment or reimbursement to the General Fund.
In addition, Anchor QEA lists some assumptions associated with their construction
management budget as outlined on Page 14 of their proposal. A few notable
assumptions are:
• The number of surface sediment and water quality grab samples.
• Anchor QEA to supply two staff members for safety on the sampling vessel.
(City staff will augment this task by supplying one person, when available; to
reduce Anchor QEA's staffing needs.)
• Sediment samples are assumed to include a suite of chemicals to be tested.
However, the agencies may request further testing for Polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs) and tributyltin which could increase the chemistry costs
from $64,170 to $96,255.
• Additional costs could be incurred for water quality testing if turbidity is
exceeded.
C On -site construction management activities will occur at an average rate of
50 percent of the time the contractor is working (7 AM to 7 PM, 6 days a
week). Anchor QEA staff will utilize the field office for other Anchor QEA
projects, but will not charge the City for this time. Anchor QEA will be
available twenty -four hours, 7 days per week to address emergencies during
construction.
Vessel relocation services will be provided, on a retainer purpose, by an
outside contractor.

• Miscellaneous and equipment rental costs are for field expendables such as
gloves, jars, bottles, sediment core tubes, bags, coolers for samples, blue ice
bags etc...
• Boat rental fees are for one 22 -foot center console boat and one 12 -foot
Zodiac for the Project duration.
• The assumptions used to develop the estimate represent a realistic "best
case" scenario assuming significant City staff involvement in the
management process. Actual conditions may require an increased level of
effort once construction commences.
FUTURE Phase 3 — Rhine Channel Post - Construction Coordination Tasks
The Tasks listed below are not part of the cost estimate provided by Anchor, but are
included in the proposal as future Tasks to be completed within a reasonable time frame
(few months) after the construction portion of the Project is complete. These tasks are
briefly summarized below for informational purposes only and to provide a full scope of
the entire Project.
Future Task 1: Rhine Channel Sediment Survey Sampling and Analysis Plan
Typically, the Regional Water Quality Control Board requires post- dredging sediment
sampling to confirm that the contaminants have been removed. This is an important
step in reducing the Rhine Channel's exposure to the State's 303(d) impaired
waterways list, i.e. reducing the site's ranking to a low level of concern within the 303(d)
list tier. However, Anchor QEA will work with the Water Board to determine if some or all
of the sediment collection steps can be eliminated in lieu of the sediment samples that
will have already been collected when the contractor was on site.
If the above approach is not successful, Anchor QEA will develop a Sampling and
Analysis Plan for agency submittal.
Estimated future cost is $15,000.
Future Task 2: Rhine Channel Sediment Sampling
This Task involves physically sampling the sediment as prescribed by the Sampling and
Analysis Plan in Future Phase 3, Task 1.
Estimated future cost is $65,000

Newport Beach, California 92660
Re: Scope of Work for Agency Coordination and Construction Management Services for
Rhine Channel Contaminated Sediment Cleanup
Dear Mr. Miller:
Anchor QEA, L.P., is currently assisting the City of Newport Beach (City) with planning for
and executing the Rhine Channel contaminated sediment cleanup project. As the City is
aware, sediments within the Rhine Channel, as well as other nearby City- managed areas
have been found to be unsuitable for open -water disposal and, therefore, require an
alternative disposal site. Those sediments have recently been approved for placement into
the Port of Long Beach's (POLB's) Middle Harbor confined disposal facility (CDF) ffi1 site.
Recent efforts have resulted in the completion of the engineering design, preparation of
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documentation, and acquisition of regulatory
permits for the dredging/disposal project.
This scope of work details anticipated tasks ranging from final project planning through
construction management and project closure'. Project closure includes development of a
proposed sampling plan for review by the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board
(RWQCB), intended as a mechanism for closure with the RWQCB's 303(d) re- analysis
process, as well as field sampling and chemical analyses. The costs for developing the final
sampling plan, as well as the actual implementation of the plan, may be eliminated if we are
' Tasks describing project closure are for informational purposes only to aid in project planning, No costs are
requested to perform these tasks at this rime.

able to convince the RWQCB that data collected during constriction are sufficient for future
characterization purposes. If successful, this approach would save the City considerable
funds by eliminating possible duplicate sampling efforts. A meeting to discuss this possibility
with RWQCB staff cannot occur until after a contractor is selected and the final dredge plan
is developed.
Dredging within the Rhine Channel will be much more complicated than other dredging
projects completed in the region. The goal of this project is to remove as much contaminated
material as possible, meaning the dredge design is ultimately a target or estimate of the work
to be completed. The actual effort will be adjusted in the field based on the results of field
monitoring and interim sampling efforts. Moreover, the Rhine Channel is very congested
with a considerable number of structures that must be worked around, which will
significantly increase the opportunity for damage to occur. More than half of the dock
structures in the Rhine Channel are in very poor condition and, as such, will likely require
special attention during the pile removal /replacement phase to ensure further degradation
does not occur. In addition, the contractor will be under close scrutiny for this project by
local residents, as well as the POLB managers, to ensure that all procedures are followed
properly and that constant communication between the contractor and local residents
occurs. For example, according to the Memorandum of Agreement (MCA) with the City of
Long Beach, one mistake by the contractor during disposal at the Port will result in an
immediate termination of the disposal agreement and hence the end of the project. Simply
put, the goal of the construction management effort is to quickly and confidently address any
and all issues that arise on the project in the most efficient manner possible while protecting
the City's interests (i.e., minimizing liability) on the project. Typical construction
management levels for similar projects range from 10 to 15 percent of the contract value.
The target level of effort for this current scope of work is closer to 7 percent because it is
assumed that City staff will be able to assist in the management process.
The following scope of work is broken down into three distinct phases: 1) construction
preparation and stakeholder coordination tasks to occur prior to construction; 2)
construction management and field monitoring task to occur during construction; and 3)
Mr. Chris Miller
March 16, 2011
post- construction coordination tasks ". Estimated costs are provided based on time and
materials estimated using assumptions and information gathered from other, recent, dredging
projects in the region. If final costs are less than the estimates provided, the City will not be
charged for the additional amounts. A final project schedule will be developed after a
contractor has been retained by the City to conduct the marine work.
Based on the anticipated POLB fill schedule presented in the MCA, dredging will start in
early August 2011 and last for a period of 4 months (18 weeks) for the Rhine Channel work
and 2 weeks for the other City- managed areas (water areas along Marina Park, the American
Legion Yacht Club, and the City's 15th Street Pier, For purposes of this cost estimate, we
have assumed 12 -hour work days and a 6 -day work week for the contractor. Anchor QEA's
level of effort to support the project will be much less than "full time," as such, all task items
presented herein will be conducted in collaboration with City staff. At the City's discretion,
Anchor QEA's participation may be increased or reduced to match project needs.
PHASE 1— RHINE CHANNEL CONSTRUCTION PREPARATION AND STAKEHOLDER
COORDINATION
Task 1: Port of Long Beach Coordination
Anchor QEA staff will assist the City in developing and implementing a successful MCA for
dredged material placement at the Middle Harbor CDF fill site. Specific tasks will include
meeting with POLB and City staff, assisting in the development of an approved fill plan and
schedule, working with City attorneys to ensure contractor liability concerns are transferred
to the appropriate sections of the contract documents, and coordinating with POLB staff, as
needed, to provide project information for regional agency updates (e.g., Dredged Material
Management Team and Contaminated Sediments Task Force meetings). The estimated cost
for this task is $12,720.
Task 2: Contractor Selection and Pre - Dredge Deliverables
Working with City staff, Anchor QEA will lead the contractor solicitation and selection
process, including preparing the final contract documents and leading a pre -bid meeting and
] Post construction tasks are presented for informational purposes only to assist with project planning. No costs
are requested for these tasks at this time.

site walk at the project site and, if needed, at the POLB disposal site. Once bids are received,
Anchor QEA will work closely with the City to review and comment on each bid package,
compare bid prices between contractors, check references, and assist the City in selecting and
negotiating with a dredge contractor. Because of the project's complexity (remediation
dredging versus construction or maintenance) and the unique nature of the dredging work,
we anticipate a fair level of involvement with the City in this process. Our firm is currently
working with nearly all available dredge contractors in the region, thus affording us the
unique opportunity to have insight on their practices, equipment, and personnel. The nature
of the work is very different than with upland construction efforts and close attention must
be paid at certain critical junctures of the project.
Once a contractor has been selected, Anchor QEA will lead the preparation of agency
submittals and review of contractor submittals, including those required to obtain a Notice to
Proceed (NTP) from the agencies. Specific deliverables for this task include a series of pre -
construction submittals, as commonly required for similar dredging and pile replacement
projects. Some of these submittals are also required by the various agencies specifically for
this project. Submittals include the following:
Dredging and disposal work-plan. The contractor will be required to prepare and
submit this work plan as a detailed pre - constriction submittal, which will be
reviewed by Anchor QEA acting as the City's engineer. Once the contractor has
sufficiently revised this work plan and it is judged to be fully consistent with project
specifications, Anchor QEA will submit the work plan to the agencies in order to
receive 1NTP for dredging-
0
Project schedule and work sequence. The contractor will provide a proposed project
schedule and work sequence. Anchor QEA will assist the City with review and
comment and will then submit the final document to the appropriate agencies for
project planning.
G Pile replacement plan. The contractor will document the procedures, equipment, and
schedule for removing and replacing all piles indicated on the contract drawing. This
information will be documented in a pile replacement plan, to be reviewed and
approved by Anchor QEA, and then submitted to the California Coastal Commission
(CCC) as a permit compliance measure.
Mr. Chris Miller
March 16, 2011
Pre- dredgesurvey The City is required to perform a pre- dredge survey of the project
site after bid opening, but prior to the start of construction, for use in determining
pay quantities with the contractor. Anchor QEA will retain a subcontractor to
perform the survey and will coordinate dissemination of this pre - dredge survey to the
dredge contractor and to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Gahagan and
Bryant, Inc., has been included for estimating purposes, because they have performed
similar work in the Rhine Channel and, therefore, have all the base maps needed
already loaded into their systems. The anticipated cost for this effort is $18,000.
Pre- construction eelgrass and Caulerpa survey. Anchor QEA will retain a certified
subcontractor to perform field surveys and will review and submit the data to the
respective agencies as required by the USACE, CCC, and RWQCB permits. The
services of Mike Anghera and Kimo Morris have been included for estimating
purposes, because they performed similar work in the Rhine Channel during the
permit application process and are already familiar with the site. The anticipated cost
for this effort is $3,000.
Final water qualitymoniroring and reporting plan. A draft document is currently in
review at the RWQCB. Once comments are received, the document will be finalized
and submitted to all interested parties. Labor associated with this task is actually
covered by Anchor QEA's previous scope of work but that deliverable is included
here for completeness.
Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan. The contractor will provide a
draft Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan and Anchor QEA
will review and comment on the document. Once the SPCC Plan is revised and is
judged to be fully consistent with the contract documents, Anchor QEA will
coordinate submittal of the plan to the appropriate agencies as required by the
permits.
Vessel relocation plan and implementation schedule. The City and Anchor QEA will
work with the contractor to develop a vessel relocation plan and implementation
schedule for submittal to the CCC as required by the permit. This deliverable will
require the most effort to complete.
Final construction staging and offloading plan. The contractor will provide a draft
document, and Anchor QEA will review and coordinate submittal of the plan to the
CCC as required by the permit.

G Health and Safety Plan. The contractor will provide a draft health and safety plan for
Anchor QEA's review and comment. The finalized document will be provided to all
staff working on the project and will be made available to the City staff and agency
representatives visiting the site.
The estimated cost for this task is $59,350.
Task 3: Pre- Construction Tenant and Stakeholder Coordination
Prior to the start of construction, Anchor QEA will provide consistent and ongoing technical
support to City staff to assist in preparing for dredging operations. Specific duties will
include preparing for and facilitating frequent stakeholder update meetings, updating the
City council members as requested, and meetings with individual property owners along the
Rhine Channel regarding issues related to vessel relocation, site access, and construction
scheduling. Anchor QEA will also assist in pre- construction coordination with other
stakeholders, such as Harbor Patrol, local businesses potentially impacted from the project
(e.g., Hornblower Cruises, Newport Tour operators), local environmental groups like
CoastKeeper, regulatory agencies, and concerned harbor citizens. The estimated cost for this
task is $23,770.
PHASE 2 — RHINE CHANNEL CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND FIELD
MONITORING
Task 1: Rhine Channel Construction Management
City of Newport Beach Harbor Resources Manager, Chris Miller, will be the lead
construction manager for the dredging project. Anchor QEA staff will provide ongoing
construction management services to assist Mr. Miller for the duration of the project. For
cost estimating purposes, we have assumed that, on average, someone will be present on site
and working on the project 50 percent of the time the contractor is working. This level of
effort may be adjusted upwards or downwards as the project's needs change. The Rhine
Channel dredging effort is estimated to take 18 weeks to complete, and the contractor is
planning to work 12 -hour days /6 -day weeks. 'Thus, a full -time effort for one staff person for
the Rhine Channel dredging portion of the project would be 1,296 hours (648 hours was used
for this estimate).
Mr. Chris Miller
March 16, 2011
When Anchor QEA staff members are not present on site, City staff be the primary point of
contact for all project responsibilities and Anchor QEA will make sure that qualified
representatives can be on -call at any time of the day or night to assist in case an emergency
arises. The on -site construction manager will coordinate all contractor activities during the
day and resolve issues as they arise. The amount of time required to perform this function is
a direct correlation with the experience of the contractor selected and the number of issues
(i.e., damages to existing structures, unforeseen changes in site conditions, unexpected
debris, etc.) that develop during construction.
Typically, the activities performed by the on -site construction manager include the
following:
• Participating in a pre - construction meeting with the contractor and City staff to
review construction requirements, expectations, lines of communication, construction
logistics, permit compliance, and other issues relevant to the construction process
• Assisting City staff with implementation of the vessel relocation plan
• Observing the technical conduct of the contractor's work for overall quality and
compliance with the contract documents, approved submittals, and/or applicable
technical standards
C Meeting with the contractor on regular occasions each day to observe and discuss
progress, schedule, and items of concern
Reviewing interim surveys to verify that dredging reaches the proper depths, slopes,
and horizontal extents
• Tracking dredging rate and proper filling of haul barges
• Planning, participating in, and conducting weekly meetings to discuss project
progress
Providing day -to -day interpretation of contract requirements and responding to
contractor questions and formal Requests for Information (RFIs), including
in- the -field resolution of minor issues
Performing, or arranging, and overseeing field measurements to determine
constructed dimensions and extents, payable quantities, and conformance with
project requirements
C Facilitating minor field changes to circumvent change orders due to obstructions or
other unanticipated conditions

a Collecting sediment grab samples, as needed, to assist in making decisions regarding
adequacy of dredging
G Photographing and videotaping field activities, as needed, to document the
construction effort
U Installing and monitoring survey markers on selected seawalls to detect whether any
measurable deflections of the seawalls are noted during the dredging effort
G Meeting with local residents and business owners to ensure impacts to vessel passage
and business operations are minimized
C Observing all activities at staging and offloading areas to ensure compliance with
applicable permit conditions
C Reviewing all progress reports and payment requests from the contractor for accuracy
and compliance with the contract documents
• Responding, as needed, to local resident concerns regarding construction activities
• Reviewing and inspecting guide pile replacement activities (and floating dock repairs,
if necessary) to ensure compliance with the contract documents, to detect unforeseen
conditions that could affect dock stability and function, and to develop specific repair
task scopes (if needed) so that contractor efforts and costs are fully controlled
• Working with the City and contractor to compile a final punch list of various final
items to address or repair before the contractor's work can be considered complete
In addition to the on -site construction manager, a team of scientists and engineers will also
be involved to provide technical and administrative support throughout the construction
effort. Support staff will be based in our Mission Viejo office and will be ready to assist in
the field on short notice, whenever needed. The support team will assist with items such as
contractor oversight, stakeholder coordination, sediment sampling, surveys and pay volume
reviews, scheduling updates, Port construction meetings, and progress report preparation.
Mr. Chris \4iller

To assist with project coordination and to provide a central location for staff and contractors
to work while in the field, Anchor QEA will secure a rental office located adjacent to the
Rhine Channel project location. This space will be available for Anchor QEA and City staff
to work while on site monitoring the construction activities as well as available for weekly
contractor meetings to occur. This task, like the others, will be based on time and materials
expenses. As such, the City will not be charged for any down time on the current project
when staff can be working on other projects. The estimated cost for this task is $383,955. Of
this amount, $272,180 is estimated for labor, with the remainder estimated for
subcontractors (guide pile oversight, post- construction bathymetric survey, vessel relocation
services, and analytical chemistry) and other direct expenses like field office rent, boat
rental, and field supplies. Using the Engineer's Estimate of Probable Costs of $4 million
(without contingency) for the Rhine Channel dredging effort, the labor portion of this task
represents 6.8 percent of the total amount, which is almost half of that typically spent on
other, similar regional dredging efforts that we have been involved in over the past 5 years.
The assumptions used to develop the current estimate represent a realistic "best case"
scenario assuming significant involvement by City staff in the management process. Actual
conditions may require an increased level of effort once construction commences.
Task 2: Water Quality and Air Quality Monitoring and Reporting
Anchor QEA will be responsible for ensuring permit compliance for all environmental
aspects of the project. This effort includes the following:
Water quality monitoring and reporting prior to, during, and after construction
(includes sample collection, processing, and analytical and physical measurements)
according to the draft Water Quality Monitoring Plan (WQMP) submitted to the
RWQCB.
• Coordinating water quality and sediment monitoring activities with the contractor
• Collection and tracking of documents associated with off -site landfill disposal of
debris and material determined unsuitable for disposal at the Middle Harbor CDF fill
site

The estimated cost for this task is $112,709. Of this amount, $41,000 is estimated for labor
needed to collect and process samples and the remaining is estimated for chemical analyses
and field equipment rental.
Task 3: Construction Management for Marina Park /American Legion Dredge
Areas
This task is intended to cover construction management responsibilities specifically related
to dredging and pile replacement at the non -Rhine Channel dredge areas of the project (e.g.,
water areas along Marina Park, the American Legion Yacht Club, and the City's 15th Street
Pier). The level of effort required for this portion of the project is assumed to be similar to
that required within the Rhine Channel but is expected to take place over significantly less
time (2 weeks) because of the smaller volume of sediment to be removed. This effort is
included as a separate task in case the City wants to track the costs separately for internal
accounting purposes. The estimated cost for this task is $30,780.
PHASE 3 — RHINE CHANNEL POST - CONSTRUCTION COORDINATION TASKS
(FUTURE TASKS )3
Task 1: Rhine Channel Sediment Survey Sampling and Analysis Plan
Once field activities are completed and the contractor has been released from the site, a
sediment survey will be designed and implemented to document for the regulatory agencies
the final extent of sediment removed (and the amount remaining in place) to allow an
assessment of the site from a 303(d) improvement standpoint. Two primary items will be

included in this survey: 1) a summary of sediment volumes and a detailed survey of the
locations from which sediment was removed; and 2) the final concentrations of chemical
contaminants in the surface layer of the Rhine Channel. Typically, the RWQCB requires the
project sponsor to develop and submit a draft Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) and
proposed outline for the final survey report for RWQCB review and approval. Once the SAP
is approved, sediment core samples are collected and the results are submitted to document
the final surface concentrations for the chemicals of concern. This goal of this data is to
show that full beneficial uses have been restored to the site and therefore it may be removed
from the 303(d) list. Obtaining full removal from the 303(d) list is an ambitious goal for the
dredging project because it is infeasible to remove all of the contaminated sediment from
along the bulkheads, but lowering the site ranking to a point where it is no longer considered
a "toxic hot spot" by the Water Board with imminent regulatory action planned is a much
more realistic outcome.
Anchor QEA will work with the RWQCB to determine if some or all of these steps can be
eliminated in lieu of the sediment data already planned for collection to verify contractor
performance during the actual dredging. If the above approach is not successful, Anchor
QEA will develop and submit for approval a draft SAP for agency submittal. Although not
included in this scope of work, the estimated costs to prepare this document would be
approximately $15,000.
Task 2: Rhine Channel Sediment Sampling
Depending on the outcome of Task 1 of Phase 3, additional sediment core samples may need
to be collected at the end of the project to verify the final surface sediment chemical
concentrations within the Rhine Channel. If needed, this task will include mobilizing and
collecting sediment core samples from approximately 15 to 20 locations and surface grab
samples from up to an additional 10 locations. Samples would be logged and sub - sampled at
various intervals to evaluate the potential for residual contamination (metals and pesticides).
The estimated number of sampling locations is based on previous work conducted within the
Rhine Channel and from similar projects within the region. If needed, the estimated
sampling and analysis costs for this task would be approximately $65,000. As with Task 1,
this cost is not included in the current budget request.

SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION OF COSTS
Table 1 presents our estimated costs for this scope of work. The total cost is estimated at
$624,964. Of this amount, almost $164,000 is for subcontractors including almost $100,000
in analytical charges. Another $33,000 is estimated for field equipment and supplies. The
remaining $419,000 is estimated for labor between now and the end of the construction
period (estimated to be around December 31, 2011). The actual construction management
effort (labor only) for the entire project is estimated at $302,960 or, on average, 1.6 full -time
employees for a period of 4.2 months. This cost, which represents almost 7 percent of the
Engineer's Estimate of Probable Costs for the project, is derived by adding the labor costs for
the Rhine Channel work with that for the Marina Park/American Legion work. All other
tasks are not included because they represent non - standard costs associated with the
regulatory aspects of the project (e.g., water quality and sediment monitoring, air quality
compliance, etc.) and are not typical of most construction projects.

For the labor categories listed in the cost estimate, Steve Cappellino and Dr. Joshua Burnam
are included in the principal category. Steve will serve as the project manager, and Dr.
Burnam will lead the regulatory requirements. Michael Whelan's time overseeing the
engineering work comprises the senior managing labor category. Dr. Jack Malone is the
primary staff person in the managing biologist category who will help with the regulatory
requirements and air emission tracking. The bulk of labor costs allotted for the senior
engineer category, which covers the field hours for Rob Walker, who will serve as the
on -site construction manager. The senior CAD designer role will be filled by Greg Howell.
Mr. Howell will be responsible for processing daily surveys, calculating the ongoing dredge
removal volumes, and locating target sampling locations for sediment analysis. The last labor
category with significant quantities of estimated hours is the project coordinator. On this
project, three people are included in the project coordinator category. Linnay Trail is a
document coordinator who will be responsible for editing and producing all field reports and
permit required documents. Brittany Geisler is a project coordinator, who will assist the
field staff in preparing their field reports, managing the photograph and video
documentation, and project filing. Lastly, Dustin Fellers is a field technician, who will be the
lead for all sediment and water quality field sampling.
We propose to conduct this work on a not -to- exceed, time -and- materials basis, as has been
done for our work to date. Throughout the conduct of these tasks, Anchor QEA will provide
detailed comments and summarize staff efforts on all invoices.
Attached to this scope request is a detailed list of assumptions that support our estimated
costs. We appreciate the opportunity to work with the City on this important project. if
there are any questions about this scope of work, please do not hesitate to contact us at

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT BUDGET ASSUMPTIONS
The following assumptions were used for estimating the sediment con firmational and post
construction testing costs:
During construction, surface sediment grab samples will be collected on an as- needed
basis, once the contractor has cleared each dredge area, to verify that the target
material has been removed. For the purpose of this cost estimate, we have assumed a
total of 50 grab samples at a cost of $600 /sample for metals and pesticide analyses. It
is unclear exactly how many samples may be needed but 50 should provide sufficient
coverage for the project area to be dredged. Samples will be delivered on a rushed (I-
to 2 -day) turnaround time basis and will be used for making management decisions in
the field.
During construction, grab samples will be collected from Anchor QEA's vessel and
analyzed by Calscience Laboratories, Inc. (Calscience), to achieve the detection limits
specified in the project Quality Assurance Project Plan. Calscience was selected for
this work, because they have successfully operated in similar roles recently and will
guarantee rapid turnaround of the sample data where other laboratories have not
been as reliable.
a if required following construction, sediment core samples will be collected from 15 to
20 locations using a piston corer deployed from Anchor QEA's sampling vessel.
Sediment grab samples will also be collected from up to 10 additional locations, also
from Anchor QEA's sample vessel. Each sediment core would be sectioned into two
sample depths and analyzed for the same analytes, as with the construction
monitoring grab samples at the same estimated analytical price.
The following assumptions were used for estimating the water quality monitoring task costs:
a Scope of sampling and analysis based on the draft Water Quality Monitoring Plan
submitted to the RWQCB during the permit application. process.
Dredging will start in August 2011 and will last for a duration of 4 months for the
Rhine Channel and 2 weeks for the other City - managed areas, requiring a total of 23
sampling events (pre- dredge, three times a week for the first 2 weeks during dredging
and weekly thereafter, and post - dredge).
Mr. Chris Miller
March 16, 2011
Page 15
Each monitoring event will include two Anchor QEA personnel for safety on the
sampling vessel. One person is budgeted at 6 hours per event, and the other is
budgeted at 2 hours per event.
The boat will be stored on site and will not require additional mobilization.
The boat use charges and maintenance fees are included in the field construction
management task.
C Equipment charges include a camera, van Dorn water sampler, and multi -probe YSI
meter.
Eight chemistry samples (four stations, top and bottom) will be analyzed by
Calscience during sampling events: pre- dredge, three times per week for the first 2
weeks during dredging, and post- dredge.
Five quality assurance/quality control (QA/QQ chemistry samples will be analyzed
for the program (field blank [one sample], equipment blank [one sample], field
duplicate [5 percent of total samples = three]). If additional samples are collected for
this program, then additional QNQC samples may be necessary.
• Analyses include total and dissolved metals (cadmium, chromium, copper, mercury,
lead, and zinc), polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners, and organochlorine
pesticides. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and tributyltin are not included
in the analyte list, as they have not been detected at the site previously. If these were
included, the estimated chemistry costs would increase from $64,170 to $96,255.
• Five -day turnaround time assumed for all water column chemistry samples.
• Reporting includes pre - dredge report, progress report, and final report. In addition,
dissolved oxygen and turbidity results will be electronically submitted to the RWQCB
at the end of each monitoring day.
Additional costs will be incurred if turbidity exceedances are measured during
monitoring. if there is an exceedance, permits require that additional water samples
be analyzed for the chemical constituents previously listed, totaling $7,440 for the
eight samples per event as required by the RWQCB.
