PREPARED BY: Iris Lee, Senior Civil Engineer
APPROVED:
TITLE: Approval of Professional Services Agreement with David Volz
Design Landscape Architects, Inc., for Balboa Boulevard
Landscape Enhancement Project
ABSTRACT:
Landscape Architect and Engineering design services are needed for the Balboa
Boulevard Landscape Enhancement Project. Staff requests approval of a professional
services agreement to hire a consultant to perform the design work tasks and prepare
the construction documents.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with David Volz Design Landscape
Architects, Inc. of Costa Mesa, CA for West Newport Landscape Enhancement Project
Landscape Architect and Engineering Design Services at a not -to- exceed price of
$243,530.00 and authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute the Agreement.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
The current adopted budget includes sufficient funding for this project. It will be
expensed to the General Fund account in the Public Works Department, 7013-
02002063.
DISCUSSION:
In 2011, the City Council's Ad -Hoc Neighborhood Revitalization Committee (NRC)
created a five - member Citizen Advisory Panel (CAP) to guide the development of
several Landscape Revitalization Conceptual Plans in West Newport.
Recommendations formulated by the CAP apply to three street segments in the City: (1)
Balboa Boulevard from West Coast Highway to 22nd Street; (2) West Coast Highway

from the Santa Ana River to Newport Boulevard; and (3) Superior Avenue from
Ticonderoga Street to West Coast Highway.
As part of the 2012 -2013 Fiscal Year Capital Improvement Project Budget, City Council
approved funds to prepare construction documents for Balboa Boulevard from West
Coast Highway to 22 "d Street. These construction documents will build upon the CAP
and Council approved conceptual plans, developed by David Volz Design Landscape
Architects, Inc. (DVD), with focus on the following emphasis recommended by NRC and
CAP:
• Recognizing the West Coast Highway /Balboa Boulevard intersection as the
"gateway" to the West Newport neighborhood and the creation of a landscape
and signage plan specifically for the intersection;
• "Greening" of Balboa Boulevard through median expansion and planting,
parkway and bulb -out planting, green screens at curb and residential walls where
possible and appropriate; and
• Improving pedestrian experience along Balboa Boulevard.
Given DVD's intimate project knowledge and background obtained with development of
the concept plans, staff recommends retaining DVD through a single- source process,
pursuant to Council Policy F -14, to prepare the project construction documents to
ensure continuity. Proposed fees were also negotiated to ensure competitive pricing
compared to similar firms for similar scope of work. The scope of DVD's professional
services will generally include the following:
• Design Development, which includes preliminary plan layout and material
selection;
• Community Outreach, which includes graphic illustrations and presentations to
the public, committees, commissions and /or City Council, if necessary; and
• Construction Documents, which includes the construction plan details and
incorporation of civil improvements.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this project exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Section 15301 (negligible expansion of
an existing use) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14,
Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.

The improvements will be constructed primarily in existing raised medians and parkway,
with the exception of a couple of additional small raised landscaped median islands that
will be introduced along Balboa Boulevard. The construction of these islands will not
require acquisition of right -of -way or expansion of Balboa Boulevard as they will fit
within the footprint of the existing painted medians, without significantly changing or
impacting traffic circulation.
There are no biological resources within the public right -of -way.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of
the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).

The West Newport Citizens' Advisory Committee envisioned a great landscape
enhancement of this important thoroughfare, the western gateway to the Balboa
Peninsula. Staying within the public right of way and respecting the important function
of this high traffic street, the committee has put forth a plan to add significant green
space to the median and parkway areas. This first phase of the West Newport
improvements will also provide design for the proposed street corner enhancements at
the southwest corner of Coast Highway and Balboa Boulevard. This corner landscape
enhancement will include new identity sign, sidewalk improvements and pedestrian
amenities.
David Volz Design proposes to provide the design and engineering services required to
further develop the concepts and to prepare construction documents for this project.
Our team is looking forward to working with you and the Newport Beach Public Work's
staff to ready this work for funding, bidding, and construction. The following project
scope and proposed services will deliver plans and specifications for the described
project. Our work plan includes design development, preliminary engineering and final
construction documents.
Project Scope
The following segments make up the project scope. The anticipated improvements are
defined conceptually in the West Newport Landscape CAP documents that were
prepared at the end of last year. Below is a general description of the proposed
construction program.
I '9
"-' nestoyave LAKdseapes that create UMMRKitd
1. Balboa Boulevard from West Coast Highway to 32 "d Street
The existing landscaped medians along this reach will be cleared of all
landscape and pavement, except the palm trees, and replanted with new
landscapes (approximately 16;000 s.f.). The construction of new landscaped
medians will be built as depicted on the concept plans (18,500 s.f.) Parkway
improvements with new landscaped pavement in approximately 45 locations will
be designed along the street edge. The two bus stop areas will be improved with
new landscapes. A new irrigation system will be installed along the length of this
street, The construction budget for this work is one million dollars.
2. Balboa Boulevard to 22 "d Street
This work will be a continuation of the landscape improvements identified above.
All street medians will be new constructions (approximately 6,000 s.f.). Street
edge enhancements will include 14 new tree pop -out locations and improved
landscape at the 26t" Street parking lot (4,000 s.f.). The construction budget
estimate for this work is $350,000.
3. Balboa Boulevard and West Coast Highway Corner Improvements
These proposed improvements are depicted conceptually within the documents
prepared for the West Newport Landscape CAP. Further definition is needed it
order to determine the exact improvements to be implemented. The first phase
of development will include the south western corner. The other corners will be
designed in future phases.
Southwest Corner
A new city monument sign, landscape and sidewalk enhancements and walls
and seating are anticipated at this corner. The construction budget estimate
for these improvements is $180,000.

Dear David:
Thank you for the opportunity to present a fee proposal to provide basemapping, preliminary
engineering, and construction documents related to the landscaping and irrigation within Balboa
Boulevard in the City of Newport Beach. The following details our project understanding,
proposed scope of work, and estimated fee.
Proiect Understanding
The City of Newport Beach is planning landscape and irrigation improvements within Balboa
Boulevard from West Coast Highway to 22nd Street. The improvements will be based on your
conceptual design dated November 2011 with the exception or no improvements in the area of
Mix Master. The improvements are expected to include construction of raised medians, tree
wells and new landscape and irrigation services. No improvements are expected within
Caltrans right of way at West Coast highway.
Scope
CWE shall complete the following tasks:
Task 1 - Survey
Prepare aerial basemap.
• Locate record street centerline and street right of way.
• Complete one day of detailed ground survey at specific areas as required.
We will prepare aerial basemaps for the project. This will involve flying the entire project limits,
setting survey controls, and locating the street centerline. The existing street right of way will be
based on the City's GIS system and APN maps. It is assumed the City will provide access to
the latest GIS information.
We are also including one day of detailed ground topographic survey within the project limits.
The ground survey would be used to pick up specific information not shown on the aerial and
required for the design.
