In February, staff reviewed the draft report and provided editorial comments. Given the
heightened interest in climate change and sea level rise, staff asked that the report be
expanded to include:
1. Additional discussion on climate change models and the rationale in choosing the
US Army Corps recommended model.
2. Additional analyses on alternative flood inundation solutions for the Ferry Boat
Landing.
3. Expanded discussion on the history of the seawall.
4. Major edits to the report graphics and the addition of photographs portraying flood
damage potential.

similar projects in California.

Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not
result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and
15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential
for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.

Subject: Assessment of Seawall Structural Integrity and Potential for Seawater
Over - Topping for Balboa Island and Little Balboa Island — Proposal
Dear Bob:
Based on a thorough review of the Request for Proposal (RFP) distributed by the City of
Newport Beach (City) on November 24, Everest International Consultants, Inc. (Everest)
is pleased to submit the attached proposal to assist the City with this important and
challenging study. As stipulated in the RFP, we have enclosed four copies of the
proposal for your review and have provided the cost proposal in a separate sealed
envelope.
Everest will be assisted by Dr. Brett Sanders (University of Irvine) and the URS
Corporation (URS). Dr. Sanders is the author of the 2008 flood inundation study report
mentioned in the RFP, and URS prepared the Balboa Seawall Distress Assessment
Report, also mentioned in the RFP. While Everest will lead the overall project and
oversee all technical tasks, Dr. Sanders will lead the flood risk modeling task, and URS
will be responsible for the seawall condition survey and preparing cost estimates for the
recommended flood hazard reduction measures.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be of service to the City. We believe Everest
has established a proven record of providing excellent services and sound technical
studies for a number of challenging and innovative projects for the City. I took forward
to heating from you in the near future to schedule an interview so we can further discuss
your needs and our ability to fulfill those needs. Please contact me at (562) 435 -9308
with any questions regarding our proposal.
Sincerely,
Everest International Consultants, Inc.

URS will be responsible for conducting the seawall condition survey and preparing cost
estimates for the recommended flood hazard reduction measures. URS (and the formerly
acquired Cash & Associates) has a special understanding of seawalls in Newport Beach, and
in Balboa Island, in particular. URS prepared the Balboa Seawall Distress Assessment
Report 2005 mentioned in the RFP. For that study, URS provided visual observations for
documentation of seawall distress of wall components including: cap, wall sheets, shotcreting
and soldier piles. URS is also familiar with the tieback supporting system that is being used
at various locations of the Little Balboa Island. In addition, URS assisted the City in 1989 on
the Balboa Island Seawall Repair Program. The engineers that were involved in these
Balboa Island projects over the last 20 years are still with URS and are planned to be the
principal engineers for this effort.
1.2 UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROJECT
The City of Newport Beach has been dealing with localized flooding for years, even before
the global warming issue became widely understood. Due to lower- than - optimum seawall
and land mass heights in various locations of the City and the preponderance of privately
owned infrastructure that is outside the City's direct control, flooding of City streets and
walkways has occurred on Balboa Peninsula, Balboa Island and other localized areas in the
City during high tide and /or storm surge conditions. The challenge of flood control is
compounded by City storm drain lines that empty by gravity into the Bay and therefore do not
provide flood relief when the bay water level is high. Furthermore, City and privately owned
storm drains, which are often equipped with drain valves and plugs to prohibit seawater from
flowing inland during extreme high tides, can provide a conduit for sea water to back -flow into
the islands if drain valves and plugs malfunction or are not properly maintained. To a lesser
extent, distress in the form of concrete cracks and construction joints allows water to breach
the protection of these walls and contribute to localize flooding.
To prepare for potential damage to private properties by flood waters at Newport Harbor due
to sea level rise, the City of Newport Beach with this Request for Proposal is looking to first
address Balboa Island and Little Balboa Island (Balboa Island) with respect to the following
Scope of Work:
1) Prediction of flood water overtopping and resulting inundation due to sea level rise
and storm events over the next 100 years
2) Condition of the seawalls and opinion of seawall stability under gravity and seismic
loading cases
3) Options to extend or replace the seawalls over time
4) Recommendation for flood hazard mitigation measures for local areas
5) Development of cost estimates and phasing plan for seawall retrofit
Balboa Island represents approximately 11 % of the entire seawall waterfront in Newport
Beach. The oldest walls within the City inventory, at over 70 years old, are found on the

Island. It is loosely estimated that over 80% of the seawalls in Newport Beach are privately
owned, with the remaining 20% being publicly -owned by the City, County or State. Since
Balboa Island has a public boardwalk around the entire waterfront, Balboa Island represents
an excellent opportunity for the City as the initial "Pilot Program" of Flood Risk Assessment
and Seawall Condition Survey Project, since all the seawalls around the Island are publicly -
owned and reasonably accessible.
2. ';cepie e6,,5eyvicies
The Everest Team proposes to complete the Study tasks outlined in the RFP using the
approach presented below. The approach will be refined in consultation with the City during
the kick -off and review meeting for the Study Design Outline developed under Task 1.
2.1 TASK 1: OUTLINE FOR DESIGN STUDY
At the start of the project, the Everest Team will review existing reports and studies on file to
prepare an outline for the Design Study for the entire program. The outline will establish the
program goals and extent of investigation, describe the flood modeling approach and the
selection of flood model scenarios, establish topographic survey approach and the Wall
Distress Classification ID system, assess the GIS level of interface between this study and
the City GIS system for archiving of information, if any at this time, development of the
seawall data collection system, and project schedule.
At the completion of this task, a meeting with the City staff will be scheduled to review the
outline prior to conducting the topographic and seawall condition surveys. Revision to the
program intent and documentation forms will be made at this point. This meeting will also
serve as a kick -off meeting to review the overall approach of the program between the City
staff and Everest Team.
2.2 TASK 2: FLOOD RISK ASSESSMENT /0
PA The US Army Corps of Engineers guidelines for flood risk assessment referenced in the RFP
emphasize the concept of damage reduction. The basic idea is to minimize future flood
damages to private and public properties in the most cost effective way possible. This is
achieved with a combination of: (a) structural modification measures such as higher sea
walls that limit the exposure of valuable assets to flood water, and (b) design code '
modification measures such as building policy changes that make assets less susceptible to
flood damage. Once a menu of appropriate structural and design code measures are
identified, alternative solutions or "projects" are proposed and compared on the basis of cost
effectiveness. Project costs are linked to construction and operating costs, while benefits are
achieved by avoiding damages that are certain to occur if no action is taken. Hence, benefits
are termed "damage reductions." Item 7b of the RFP states that "flood damage cost"

2.3 TASK 3: TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY
As specified in the RFP, the Everest Team will conduct a survey to collect the following data:
spot elevations of mudlines, top of seawall and adjacent boardwalks elevations, curbs and
grade breaks, discontinuities in the seawall (changes in height or type), drainage flow lines.
The collected data will be used for flood modeling described Task 2, as well as to facilitate
the seawall survey (Task 4) and recommendation for damage protection (Task 7). It is our
understanding that the City will provide detail maps and surveys that can be used as the
horizontal control base map. We will work with the City's Geographic Information System
(GIS) Division to provide our collected topographic data in a format consistent with those
used for the horizontal control base map.
In addition to collecting the information specified in the RFP, we plan to collect additional
data that would benefit the project. These data include: beach slope fronting the seawall and
some finish floor elevations of residences around the seawall (if accessible). The beach
slope data are crucial for the wave overtopping analyses described in Task 2. The finish
floor elevations will be useful for formulating mitigation measures (Task 7) and flood risk
assessment when compared with modeled flood inundation (Task 2).
2.4 TASK 4: SEAWALL CONDITION FIELD SURVEY AND ASSESSMENT
The Seawall Condition Survey is composed of observations and information collection done
29
from both the land and water side of the walls. The following observations and data
collection
are proposed: -
General:
1.
Tide level at time of survey
2.
3.
Opinion of Wall Condition - General
Photo Documentation
Waterside
1.
ID of the wall type
2.
ID of the wall components comprising the wall type
3.
Condition and distress documentation
4.
Property improvements connecting or crossing the wall
5.
Opinion of wall adequacy for extension
6.
Implications relating to raising the wall: adjoining property improvements, etc.
7.
8.
Ease of construction equipment access
Utility interfaces and penetrations
9.

5. Storm drain flow lines to catch basins and pump stations
As mentioned in Task 1, the proposed seawall survey protocol will be discussed with the City
prior to the start of the field work.
2.5 TASK 5: DATA REQUIREMENTS
Everest will work closely with the City to collect, review and analyze available data when
preparing the Outline for Design Study (Task 1). Based on the data review, we will identify
data gaps and propose methods to fill the gaps. For example, based on our knowledge of
the site, information for beach slopes fronting the seawalls, which are important for wave
overtopping analyses, are lacking; hence, we have proposed to collect those data when we
are conducting the topographic survey (Task 3).
We will work closely with City staff to determine a data format that would facilitate the
integration of the data into the City GIS system in the future. For this first pilot study, we
propose that the seawall condition survey data be prepared utilizing Microsoft Excel.
The flood model results will be reported in maps showing inundation depths associated with
individual parcels throughout Balboa Island and Little Balboa Island. These data, once
integrated into the City's GIS System would allow builders to adjust foundation heights and /or
the elevation of living spaces according to the expected flood heights in the future. It might
encourage the design of a flood -proof first floor that can tolerate episodic flooding. It would
certainly promote individual homeowner responsibility regarding future flood impacts.
2.6 TASK 6: SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD MITIGATION MEASURES
Based on the flood model results and the condition of the seawalls, we will recommend
potential flood hazard mitigation measures. Potential measures may include but not limited
to the following:
• Installation of seawall valves
e Construction of sub- surface vaults to store water that spills over flood wall,
• Landside pumps.
• Construct higher sea walls that could double as improved public access or convert
portions of existing sea walls into public pavilions
Conceptual plans of these potential mitigation measures will be discussed with the City and
the more will be developed further.

Based on the conditions of the seawall found in the survey and the results of the flood risk
assessment, we will provide recommendations for future seawall elevations for 25, 50 and
100 years into the future. However, based on the large uncertainty in projected sea level rise
scenarios, an adaptive approach will be recommended such that the City may plan for raising
the seawall heights in multiple phases. For example, the first phase may be designed based
on projected sea level rise in the next 25 years, and future additions could be added based
on updated sea level rise projections In the future. This adaptive management approach will
minimize the potential for any over- or under - design of the seawalls and enable the City to
make use of new data that emerges in the future.
111���1
Based on the recommended seawall elevations, different options for raising the seawall will
be evaluated. Figure 1 shows three conceptual options for raising the seawalls. Option 1.1
depicts a new raised seawall on the outside of the existing wall. Option 1.2 depicts a new
seawall in the same alignment as the existing wall, and Option 1,3 depicts a new
seawall /boardwalk hybrid system. Several other options are possible, but not developed as
yet. A takeoff from Option 1.3 would be a coffer dam concept with a pair of steel sheet piles
with granular fill, and a Cap /Boardwalk.
Advantages and disadvantages for these options will be discussed with the City to select the
most suitable option or combination of options. For example, Option 1.1 would have the
least impact on the boardwalk and existing properties. The existing seawall could be
removed or left in- place. If removed, the boardwalk could be widened. Disadvantages for
this option would be the net loss of tidelands and potential resistance of the Coastal
Commission and the Army Corps of Engineers.
In addition to recommending future seawall elevations, recommendations on repairing of
replacing sections of the existing seawall will be made based on the seawall survey. A
protocol for deciding on repair versus replacement will be suggested and may include factors
such as age of components and the overall system, structural integrity of wall, seismic
considerations, and estimated useful life. After the preferred option(s) is /are developed, a
cost estimate for implementing the preferred option(s) will be prepared.
As specified in the RFP, this task will include the preparation of a report summarizing the
results of the study and providing the final recommendations for wall extension and /or
replacement, capital expenditure program, and phasing plans. In addition, this report will
include potential amendments to City policy as relates to new and retrofit construction. A
draft report will first be submitted to the City for comment prior to preparing the final report.

Subject: Assessment of Seawall Structural Integrity and Potential for Seawater
Over - Topping for Balboa Island and Little Balboa Island —
Change Request Number 1
Dear Bob:
Based on our discussion, the following represents the changes in scope that have
occurred in the development process of this project that have accounted for extra effort
spent on this project to complete the Work specified by the City of Newport Beach (City).
Item No. 1: Additional Survey
It is specified in the request for proposal that the City would provide horizontal controls
for the topographical survey. However, we found at the kickoff meeting that horizontal
controls are not available. Hence, extra effort was needed to establish horizontal
stations for the topographic survey. In addition, the team agreed at the kickoff meeting
that the project would benefit from additional topographic surveys of streets and house
elevations interior of Balboa Island. Additional surveys for three interior streets cutting
across Balboa Island were conducted.
As the project progressed, the team found that additional survey is needed to define the
low points along the Islands for the proper assessment of flood risk. Additional surveys
were hence conducted for the Balboa Island Ferry Boat Landing and its surroundings
and the 'three bridges on the Island. The bridges are:
1. The Marine Avenue bridge, which links the Island to the mainland
2. The Park Avenue Bridge, which spans the Grand Canal and connects Big Balboa
and Little Balboa, and
3. The Collins Island Bridge, which extends Park Avenue on Big Balboa over a
small channel onto Collins Island.
Item No. 2: Collins Island
The inclusion of Collins Island into the scope of this project was originally not anticipated
by either the City or our team. Once we were in the field to assess conditions of the
EVEREST INTERNATIONAL CONSULTANTS, INC.

TEL (562).435 -9305 ^ FAX (562) 435 -9310
45
seawall, it became obvious that the Collins Island Bridge connecting the two islands was
particularly low, and would need to be addressed so the Collins Island Bridge accessway
would not create a pathway where flood waters could inundate the big Island. Work
included a follow -on Swim -by inspection of the waterside of the Island; development of
options to protect both Collins and Balboa Islands from flood water level rise, and
graphics and narrative inclusion into the Report.
Item No. 3: Scenario's involving the Raising of Balboa Island
During our first status and coordination meeting with the City of Newport Beach, we were
requested by the City to evaluate the options for raising pad elevations on the Balboa
Islands once proposed seawalls heights begin to obscure views. We were also asked to
review when ground water infiltration begins to be a problem. This effort was not
originally anticipated by either the City or our team. Work included material takeoffs to
separate public from private assets; research of existing drawings, applicable codes and
City standards that would govern such an endeavor; preparation of concept design
sketches; and construction cost estimates and inclusion of graphic and narrative into the
Report.
Item No. 4: Preparation and Presentation at City Council Meeting
We were asked by the City at the kickoff meeting that the team would need to present
the findings of the study to the City Council at the end of the project. The preparation for
and attending the City Council meeting was not originally budgeted for.
Fee:
We request additional fee of $24,958 for the completion of the above tasks. The
breakdown of costs is attached.
Please contact me at (562) 435 -9308 with any questions regarding this change request.

Re: Comments on April 26, 2011 Agenda Item No. 5: Special Events Temporary
Business License Tax
Dear Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
As you know, I have served on the Economic Development Committee ( "EDC ") for several
years and have recently served on its Business License Subcommittee. Among other things, the
Subcommittee focused on the captioned matter and recommended to the EDC that the tax be
streamlined and updated to avoid unnecessary staff time and expense. We forward this
recommendation to the full EDC who concurred.
I am pleased that our work comes to fruition with the captioned matter. I wholeheartedly
support staffs proposal and recommendation.
Thank you for your consideration. Of course, should you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to contact me.
RCH/kw
