DISCUSSION: Sand replenishment in Newport Beach has always been vital in keeping the beaches well nourished. Although ocean currents cause sand to move in, out, and downcoast (littoral drift) , Newport Beach has been able to maintain its wide beaches because of the ongoing federal sand replenishment projects at Surfside /Sunset and West Newport. In order to document this phenomenon, the Public Works Department is recommending that a study be prepared to document the history of the sand migration and to develop a tool to understand the short and long term trends of the City's shoreline. The proposed "State of the Newport Beach Shoreline" report will examine sand transport, erosion, and flooding issues for City beaches including West Newport, Balboa Peninsula, and Big Corona beaches. Much technical data exists from many sources and this data needs to be made easily understandable by the public and decision - makers. Moffatt & Nichol was invited to submit a proposal to provide professional engineering services because they have completed similar studies for other cities in Orange County. Staff negotiated with Moffatt & Nichol to provide the necessary scope of services for a not -to- exceed fee of $48,614. The scope of Moffatt & Nichol's professional services will include: • Attend a kick off meeting SUBJECT: Beach Sand Study and Monitoring Program — Approval of Professional Services Agreement with Moffatt and Nichol October 11, 2005 Page 2 • Collecting and reviewing existing technical and historical data including sand surveys that are performed annually, projected shoreline conditions, sediment transport, sediment volume changes, beach profiles and widths, and short/long term trends • Presentation of the status of data, recommended management actions, and a proposed public information package to the City that will be used in a public out reach effort • Preparation of Public Information Package Environmental Review: Engineering studies are not projects as defined in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Implementing Guidelines.

Box 1765 Newport Beach, CA 92659 -8915 Attn: Mr. Sean Crumby, Associate Civil Engineer Subj: Exhibit A — Scope of Services for Shoreline Data Analyses and Presentation Services Dear Mr. Crumby: Moffatt & Nichol (M &N) is pleased to present this proposal to assist the City of Newport Beach for shoreline technical data analyses and presentation services. The City needs to understand the short- and long -term trends of the shoreline to anticipate potential erosion, flooding, and changes to the beach for improved management. Technical data exist of local shoreline conditions and the City wishes to make them presentable for use by the general public and decision - makers. The City may add the information to their website in the future for ready access to the public. This proposal presents a scope of work, estimated fee, and schedule to prepare the information package for public use. Scope of Work .Attend Kick -Off Meeting With City Staff —Meet with City staff to clarify objectives, set direction, formulate the approach, and identify deliverables and the project schedule. The meeting will occur at City offices. 2. Collect mad Reriew Existing Available Technical Shoreline Data — Research and review existing available technical shoreline data. Sources will include the City of Newport Beach, the County of Orange, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and others as appropriate. Data will include historic and existing shoreline processes and conditions, projected shoreline conditions, sediment transport, sediment volume changes, beach profiles and widths, and short- and long -temi trends. Mr. Sean Crumby Proposal for Shoreline Data Analyses and Planning, NoFid t 1�ICAiii Preparation of a Public Information Package September 22, 2005 Page 2 3. Present the Status of Data Review and a Proposed Public Use Package to the City - Meet with City staff to present the status of technical data review, and a proposed data presentation concept for City consideration. A decision of the specific type of presentation approach will be made at this meeting (for example, a Draft "State of the Newport Beach Shoreline Report"). 4. Prepare a Draft Public Information Package for Shoreline Data - A draft "State of the Newport Beach Shoreline Report" or other similar document will be prepared that summarizes the state of the City's coast, and recommends management actions in a way that can be understood by the general public. It is envisioned to be a user - friendly document that presents information of the shoreline in relatively simple, non - technical terms, yet allows the user to "drill down" into more technical concepts and data sources, if desired. The Report would possess colorful graphic illustrations of concepts and easy - to -read matrices to convey information. It will be crafted to serve as a "living" document that the City could update and modify over time as new information becomes available or as the local shoreline evolves. The City could review the document and offer suggested modifications for preparation of a final version. 5. Prepare a Final Public (formation Package for Shoreline Data - A final "State of the Newport Beach Shoreline Report' or similar document will be prepared based on City comments on the draft version. The Report can be modified in whatever way the City consider necessary for optimization. It would be amenable for use as a hard- or electronic copy, and be able to be loaded onto the City's website for broad access. The final report will be submitted as ten hardcopies (with one reproducible master) and 10 CD's. 6. Final Presentation to the City - The document will be presented to the City for dissemination and possible uploading to the City website.

Parks. Mrs. Robert J. Parks and we live at 1504 S.Bay Front Balboa Island. that is the little Island. In front of our house is a groin a long wooden plank buried deeply into the sand. This groin keeps the sand in front of us nice and high all year long. Clearly one side of the sand is much higher than the other. The grand Canal near us and its flow influences this on the south bay here. Years ago most private piers here had a groin built right under their pier which kept all the little island south beaches high. Since then came new owners who let the groins under their pier rot and they are mostly gone (here and there some pieces are left). Now the beaches down from us are very low in part unusable. Our beach in front is every ones favorite spot all year since the groin keeps the sand so high. Solution on the south. Bay on the little Island, build some groins and we will all have nice beaches within about a year. Do study the groins, the sand is usually higher and piled up on one side Yours Hanne R. Parks
