IMPROVEMENTS, APPROVAL OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH METROPOINTE ENGINEERS
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a Professional Services Agreement with Metropointe Engineers of Costa
Mesa, California at a contract price of $87,330 and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk
to execute the Agreement.
DISCUSSION:
At the February 22, 2000 Study Session, City Council reviewed and discussed the
Circulation Study for the merge of Balboa Boulevard and Newport Boulevard commonly
referred to as the 'Mixmastee which was prepared by Parsons Transportation Group,
Inc.. At the conclusion of the session, Council directed staff to proceed with the
preparation of plans, specifications, and construction documents for traffic circulation,
safety, and access improvements in conformance with Alternative H, Modified Existing
of the study (see attached exhibit). Due to staffing changes and project priorities, this
project was placed on hold. Recently, staff met with some area business leaders to
discuss reviving the project and has placed it back into the current CIP program.
In general, Alternative H, the Modified Existing alternate, provides for a direct two way
access to the Newport Pier and McFadden Square commercial district from Newport
Boulevard at 21s` Street. This alternative requires the alteration of the existing traffic
signal, realignment of the existing roadway, reconfiguaration of the adjacent McFadden
Square parking lot, enhanced signing, and striping.
Based upon past experience on similar projects, availability, and references,
Metropointe Engineers was selected by staff as the most qualified firm for this work. As
requested by staff, Metropointe Engineers has submitted a proposal to perform a scope
of services in conjunction with the design and construction of this improvement. The
scope of work includes: field survey; roadway realignment, intersection design, and

N. Mr. Steve Badum
City of Newport Beach
_ 3333 Newport Blvd.
Newport Beach, CA 92658
Subject: 21" Street / Balboa Boulevard Intersection Improvements
Proposal for Preliminary and Final Design
" Dear Mr. Badum:
- This letter outlines our scope of work and fee estimate to prepare the final design and
_ construction documents for improvements to the 21 Street / Balboa Boulevard intersection using
Alternative H as described in the Circulation Study for Merge of Balboa Boulevard and Newport
Boulevard Proiect Report as the basis.
The purpose of the City of Newport Beach's improvement at 21e1 Street and Balboa Boulevard is
to convert the present "out only' eastbound 21 e1 Street to a two -way street accessing the pier and
parking lot area. Specific components of the project include:
conversion of 21®` Street from the one -way configuration to a two -way configuration
modifications to the curb return and parking lot area on southbound Balboa
Boulevard
a new left turn pocket for northbound Balboa Boulevard at 21 Street
modifications to the existing pier parking lot area
signal modifications
Alternatives will be identified to accommodate the improvement. For purposes of this scope of
work, we have assumed that we will study two alternatives. The alternatives will attempt to
maintain the same number of parking spaces in the lot as currently exists. Alternatives may
evaluate the benefits of 21®` Street realignment through the acquisition of adjacent right of way.
Following the development of alternatives, final engineering will be performed for the purposes of
- = preparing construction documents.
We anticipate the scope will include the following work tasks:
Task 1 Data Gathering / Ground Survey / Base Maps
Task 2 Alternatives Analysis
Task 3 Drainage Study
Task 4 Geotechnical Investigation and Report
Task 5 Utility Investigation and Coordination
Task 6 Plans
Task 7 Specifications
Task 8 Cost Estimate / Bid List
Task 9 Meetings /Coordination / Submittals

Mr. Steve Badum April 23, 2003

Task 1 —Data Gathering/ Ground Survey/ Base Maps
We will research and obtain from the City and County, record information including as- builts,
survey control records and mapping, right -of -way maps, traffic signal plans, lighting and power
poles, City related reports and studies if available, and other information as available and
necessary for the conceptual and final design.
We will perform a field survey consisting of the establishment of horizontal and vertical control,
and surface culture, along 21s' Street and Balboa Boulevard on both sides of the intersection,
from approximately starting at 22nd Street and finishing at 20th Street and including the McFadden
Square parking area. The surface features will include: top of curbs (median and edges),
flowlines, lip of gutters, back of walks, retaining walls, fences, manholes, valves, water meters,
fire hydrants, signal and lighting pull boxes, signs, driveways, catch basins, trees, power poles,
and other features which may be impacted by the street improvements, etc. Existing striping will
be located on Balboa Boulevard, north and south of 21s' Street. The County of Orange datum for
both horizontal and vertical control will be the basis.
Upon completion of the survey, we will create a base map. Existing right -of -way lines will be
obtained from record maps. Utility information obtained in Task 5 will also be added to the base
map. We will also field walk the site to verify consistency with existing conditions.
Task 2 — Alternatives Analysis
An alternatives analysis will be prepared to evaluate various impacts, constraints, costs, and
geometric solutions to achieve the proposed improvements. The alternatives analysis is the
brainstorming task of the project. At this time, we will identify potential alternatives to evaluate.
We anticipate developing two alternatives. The alternatives will consider variations on the
roadway alignment, parking lot circulation concepts, and impacts to adjacent facilities. As part of
these alternatives, preliminary geometrics will be developed using the base map developed in
Task 1. The preliminary layouts will include the existing and proposed horizontal alignment
information (including proposed bearings and curve radii), transitions and tapers, shoulders,
sidewalks, structure limits, retaining wall locations and approximate heights, existing and
proposed right -of -way limits, and other pertinent information. The geometrics will be prepared to
the extent that sound quantity cost estimates can be prepared for reliable cost information at this
phase.
The following issues will be evaluated as part of the alternatives analysis:
• Geometric alignment, including lane widths, sidewalk widths and cross slopes
• Right -of -way impacts
• Impacts to existing mature trees and other landscaping
• Impacts to existing property owner facilities such as building structures, monument
signs, access gates, parking lots
• Impact to public parking
• Driveway slopes and joining pavement grades in private property
• ADA requirements
• Drainage impacts
• Constructability
• Construction cost
Each of the above will be considered as factors in evaluating the alternatives and developing a
preferred alignment to be forwarded through the subsequent final design phase. We will meet
with the City to evaluate the alternatives based on the goals for the project and the impacts each
alternative has. We anticipate the review of the alternatives will result in the selection of the
proposed alternative for final engineering development and preparation of construction
documents.

Task 3 — Drainage Study
April 23, 2003
Page 3
The drainage study will be based on the hydrology and flows using the Orange County Hydrology
Manual. We will review the existing drainage patterns, existing studies if available, estimate the
tributary area to the 21st Street Project Area, and examine the drainage impacts generated by the
project. The existing drainage facilities will be assumed adequate in their existing conditions. If
determined necessary later during the course of the work, existing facilities could be analyzed to
determine the adequacy of the drainage system's carrying capacity and determine if
improvements are necessary. We will prepare drainage calculations, maps, and a brief report to
assess potential impacts to the existing system necessary to acquire approval from the City.
Task 4 — Geotechnical Investigation and Report
Constant & Dickey, Inc. has joined our team for the geotechnical investigation and report
preparation. They will perform a field investigation which will consist of 3 to 4 borings advanced
by hand -auger to a depth of 4 to 8 feet. Allowance has been made for coring through existing
pavement at two locations. The pavement section will be measured and ring samples and bulk
samples of the subgrade will be recovered. These activities will require lane closure and full
traffic control for the two locations on the roadway. Allowance has been made for the use of a
flashing arrow board for work on Balboa Boulevard. We will perform the work during periods with
lower traffic volumes if necessary.
The following laboratory testing will be performed to establish engineering properties of the soils:
• Moisture Content and Unit Weight
• Percent Passing No. 200 Sieve
• Maximum Density
• Expansion Index
• R -Value
• Soluble Sulfate Content
• Corrosion Potential
The field and laboratory investigation results will be compiled and presented in a written report
addressing the following design issues:
• Existing Pavement Sections
• Subsurface Soil Conditions
• Groundwater
• Expansion Potential
• Preparation and Compaction of the Subgrade
• Pole Foundations
• Flexible Pavements
• Corrosivity
Task 5 — Utility Coordination
During this task, it will be necessary to make contact with the affected utility companies, inform
them of this project, and obtain copies of their as -built plans. We will obtain a list of local utility
companies and contact information from the City. From an initial field visit, it appears that water,
sewer, Edison electrical, cable television, and telephone are present in the project vicinity. All
underground and overhead utilities within the sphere of the project limits will be contacted to
verify location, type, and size of facility. Information collected will be added to the base maps.
We will preliminarily determine the conflicts or impacts the street improvements will have with the
existing utilities and summarize the information on the layout sheets.

City of Newport Beach
April 23, 2003
Page 4
This task also includes continued coordination and related follow -up with the affected
underground and overhead utility companies regarding the specific impact locations throughout
the project as well as identifying their future needs.
We will further identify costs associated with utility modifications or relocation. Cost evaluation will
require a determination of prior rights. We will work with the City in determining prior rights. If the
utility company has prior rights, the modification cost will be borne within the project and included
in the cost estimates. If the City has prior rights, the modification cost will be borne by the utility
company. The City will be kept informed of contacts with the utility companies and, if desired,
will receive copies of collected utility information and correspondence. Our preliminary
engineering plans will be forwarded to the utility companies so they can verify their facilities and
impacts and use them for their modification /relocation design. We will also need to examine
whether temporary utility facilities are required and how this is involved in the construction
staging.
Task 6 — Plans
We have estimated the following sheet list:
1. Title Sheet
2. Typical Cross Sections / Details
3. Street Plan & Profile 1" =20'
4. Street Plan & Profile 1 " =20'
5. Parking Lot Layout and Grading 1 " =20'
6. Parking Lot Control and Striping 1 " =40'
7. Storm Drain Plan, Profile, Details 1 " =20'
8. Construction Details
9. Construction Staging 1" =40'
10. Construction Staging 1" =40'
11. Signing and Striping Plan 1"=40'
12. Signal Modification
13. Landscaping Modification
14. Irrigation Modification
We will prepare the plan sheets on City borders. The street and parking lot plans will show
existing and proposed curb, gutter, sidewalk, medians, driveways, etc. Curb profiles will be
designed and shown. The plans will include the relocation /reconstruction of existing drainage
facilities assuming the existing facilities are adequately sized. The plans do not include drainage
improvements required to bring up existing facilities to current standards if required. However,
this can be negotiated at a later date at the City's request.
The typical sections will indicate the width dimensions of the street and right -of -way and also the
horizontal and depth limits of pavement and other street improvements. Detailed cross sections
indicating grades and cross slopes will not be generated for this project.
The construction detail sheets will show reconstruction of handicap access ramps, cross gutters,
and drainage modifications. Additionally, any work not covered by the layout plans or typical
sections will be shown on the construction detail sheets.
The signing and striping plans will show the existing striping, limits of striping /markers removal,
new striping, pavement markings, and markers. Existing signs conflicting with the new curbs will
be relocated.
Construction staging plans will be prepared to layout the order of construction for the contractor,
to minimize the disruption to businesses, residents, and tourists.
Mr. Steve Badum April 23, 2003
City of Newport Beach Page 5
A signal modification plan will be prepared for the intersection of 21'� Street and Balboa
Boulevard. This will indicate the relocation of poles due to the street modifications and changes
to the heads due to the conversion of a one -way street to a two -way street.
We will investigate existing landscaping and irrigation of the adjacent properties to determine
existing plants and facilities. An "as- built" of the existing irrigation will have to be assembled and
has been assumed for purposes of this proposal, unless actual as- builts can be located.
Replanting and irrigation plans will be prepared.
Task 7 — Specifications
We will prepare the "technical" specifications and the bid schedule. We will incorporate the City's
"boilerplate" contract documents and other required special or general provisions. The various
items of work and their specific payment clauses including payment method will also accompany
the technical specifications. Final specifications will be submitted as a hard copy document as
well as an electronic version.
Contract specifications will be prepared and submitted at the 900/D plan submittal stage and revised
with the 100% and final submittal per City comments.
Task 8 — Cost Estimate / Bid List
A construction quantity and cost estimate will be prepared for each of the submittal beginning at
the 50% submittal. The estimate will show quantities and unit prices for each item along with
appropriate mobilization and contingency costs. Our unit prices will be based on a combination
of prices obtained from recent construction bids for similar projects, discussions with City staff,
and discussions with others in the construction industry. The items listed in the cost estimate will
be the basis for the preparation of the bid list. We will work with the City to ensure the bid
schedule is in accordance with City preference for the item list, method of measurement, etc.
Task 9 — Meetings / Coordination / Submittals
Upon the notice to proceed, we have assumed a kickoff meeting will be held with the City to
confirm the design intent and document preparation. Followup meetings will be held on an as-
needed basis. At this time we have assumed we will need one meeting to discuss the
alternatives analysis and determine the preferred project parameters, one meeting at the 50%
submittal, one at the 90 %, and one at the 100% levels of completion.
We will coordinate as required throughout the project with the City and project team to confirm a
complete set of documents and appropriate joins.
We anticipate three submittals — at the 50 %,
City will review our documents and provide
appropriate comments.
Exclusions to Scone of Work
90% and 100% levels of completion. We expect the
comments. We will respond and incorporate the
• Right -of -way engineering, legal descriptions, appraisals, acquisition, and title reports
• Traffic handling plans
• Utility modification plans
• Hazardous waste investigation or testing
• Storm drain improvements to existing facilities to meet current standards
• Environmental documentation

Re: Scope Of Geotechnical Design Services
Proposed Intersection Improvements
Balboa Boulevard and 211t Street
Newport Beach, California
INTRODUCTION
714- 630 -5866 p.2
The project involves roadway improvements and signallsignage relocations associated with
the improvements at the intersection of Balboa Boulevard and 21' Street in Newport
Beach, California. It includes a small amount of roadway south from the intersection on
211 Street along Balboa Boulevard. The roadway at the corner of Balboa Boulevard to
southbound 215' Street will be widened to accommodate the right turn lane. This dictates
the relocation of the light -pole on the western comer. It is understood that minor
improvements are also proposed for the parking area.
FIELD AND LABORATORY EVALUATION
Three to four borings will be advanced by hand -auger to a depth of 4 to 8 feet. Allowances
have been made for coring through the existing pavement at two locations. The pavement
section will be measured and ring samples and bulk samples of the subgrade will be
recovered. These activities will require lane closure and full traffic control for the two
locations on the roadway. Allowance has been made forthe use of a flashing arrow board
for work on Balboa Boulevard. Provisions have been made to complete this work on the
weekend or during other periods with lower traffic volumes, if necessary.
