HomeMy WebLinkAbout07 - Underground Utilities in Bay Shores (Proposed Underground Assessment District No. 70)NOVEMBER 23, 1998
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
ITEM NO. 7
TO: MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: UNDERGROUND UTILITIES IN BAY SHORES (PROPOSED
UNDERGROUND ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 70)
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Authorize a Budget Amendment to appropriate $67,695.00 from the General Fund
to the Assessment District Fund, Assessment District No. 70 — Bay Shores,
Account No. 7401- C5200483.
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with
GFB Friedrich & Associates in an amount not to exceed $24,695.00 for assessment
engineering services.
DISCUSSION:
Owners of property located in Proposed Assessment District No. 70, have submitted petitions to
the City requesting formation of a special assessment District to underground overhead utilities.
The property owners have requested formation of the District for the purpose of financing the
conversion of existing overhead utilities. The boundaries of the proposed District are shown on
Exhibit "A ".
The District formation proceedings are pursuant to the "Municipal Improvement Act of 1913"
(Division 12 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California). Bonds will be sold
pursuant to the 'Improvement Bond Act of 1915" (Division 10 of said Code).
One of the initial steps in the District formation process is the circulation of the Petition for Special
Assessment Proceedings. Proponents of the District circulated the petitions to the property owners
and then submitted the signed petitions to the City. The petition signatures represent approximately
60 percent of assessable area within the proposed District. The City has typically established 60
percent as a minimum in order to proceed with a formation of the District.
In anticipation that the District would move forward, staff prepared a Request for Proposals (RFP)
from GFB Friedrich & Associates to obtain assessment engineering services. GFB Friedrich &
Associates project team has negotiated a fee for services, not to exceed $24,695.00.

The assessment engineering services to be provided by GFB Friedrich & Associates are detailed
in the attached Scope of Work and include, identifying, analyzing and determining the correct
apportionment of the costs and preparing the Assessment Engineers report. In addition, GFB
Friedrich & Associates will prepare the voting ballots, in accordance with the requirements of
Proposition 218. The ballots are weighed by "financial obligation ", (the amount of the property's
assessment). If less than 50 percent of the ballots returned are opposed to the District, the City
Council can authorize the levy of the assessment.
Compensation to GFB Friedrich & Associates for the above services will be based on the firm's
standard hourly rates, with an estimated maximum fee of $24,695.00. These costs will be
reimbursed to the City by the District if it is formed at the final public hearing, but will not be
recovered if the District is not formed.
Southern California Edison and Pacific Bell are responsible for the design of their utilities. In order to
initiate the design of these facilities, the City must remit $25,000.00 to Edison and $14,000.00 to
Pacific Bell. An additional $4,000.00 is being requested for outside services to expedite and
coordinate plan design through Edison and Pacific Bell. The utility and engineering costs will be
reimbursed to the City by the District if it is formed at the final Public Hearing, however, the funds will
not be recovered if the District is not formed. The City Council has previously authorized the
advancement of funds for other districts. These funds have been recovered upon formation of the
districts.
Respectfully submitted,

Subject: Addendum to Proposal to Provide Assessment Engineering Services for Proposed
Utilities Undergrounding Assessment District No. 70 (Bayshores, a private
community).
Dear Mr. Hoffstadt:
GFB - Friedrich & Assoc. (Consultant) is pleased to provide the following addendum to the subject
proposal dated July 14, 1998 to provide assessment engineering services. Recent undergrounding
assessment districts within the City of Newport Beach (City) have been taking two - to-three years
and sometimes longer to complete due to the slow response time of the Southern California Edison
and Pacific Bell staff design efforts. Therefore, in response to City's wish to estimate the total cost
of our assessment district services spread over these long periods of time, the Consultant is
responding with this proposal addendum to increase Consultant's fee budget for this purpose.
The reason for this budget increase is twofold; 1) to cover the probable hourly rate increases that
will be incurred during a long project time frame, and 2) to cover the cost of the repeated start/stop
cycles that inevitably occur during a long -term assessment district procedure such as this.
Because the exact amount of budget increase is impossible to predict, Consultant is suggesting that
an additional budget amount of ten percent (10%) of the total proposed amount of $22,450.00,
which equals $2,245.00, be added to the proposed budget for Assessment District No. 70
engineering services for a total amount of $24,695.00. The hourly rates presented in Exhibit 'B*
shall remain in effect throughout the term of a future agreement subject to annual adjustment in
accordance with the cost of living.
The Scope of Services and all terms and conditions of Consultant's July 14, 1998 proposal shall
remain unchanged, with the exception of
1) the revised fee amount,
2) Line 1 of Task 9 of the Scope of Services which shall be revised to read 'Prepare
Preliminary Engineer's Report in accordance with Proposition 218 which will include
the following: .......,' and
