Subject: Proposal for Initial Study - Bank of America Expansion, Newport
Place.
Dear Fred:
I am pleased to submit this proposal to prepare an Initial Study for
the proposed expansion of 'a commercial bank building and construction
of a second office building to be located on the site of Bank of America
in Newport Place. I have developed a scope of work which I believe
will determine if any potentially significant environmental impacts
might result from the proposed project. In accordance with our conver-
sation, the proposed budget includes the preparation of a screencheck
and draft Initial Study and attendance at public hearings. Any other
services will be considered extra items.
Traffic analyses, which will be performed by Weston Pringle & Associates,
will be considered an out-of-pocket expense for the purposes of this
contract and will be billed as a separate item. The attached scope
of work represents an estimated budget which includes both my services
as well as Wes' estimated costs.
I hope this proposal responds adequately to your concerns regarding
this project. If you have any questions, please give me a call.
Sincerely�
Marie E, illiam, AICP✓J

PROPOSAL FOR
BANK OF AMERICA EXPANSION NEWPORT PLACE
October�, 9 3
Introduction
The following scope of work has been formulated to determine if any
potentially significant environmental impacts are likely to occur as
a result of the proposed project. The report will be prepared in accord-
ance with all the requirements of the City of Newport Beach and the
State of California.
Scope of Services
Marie E. Gilliam will prepare an Initial Study which will contain the
following information and will explore the following environmental issues
with regard to the proposed project:
1. Project Description: A description of the proposed project including
location, prject characteristics, description of the project's
'• relationship to relevant plans, regulations and ordinances and a
listing of permits and required approvals will be prepared.
2. Identification of the Existing Environmental Setting: In each area
of environmental concern, a reef description of existing conditions
will be prepared.
3. Identification of Potential Environmental Effects and Measures to
Mitigate Impacts: eInitialu y will explore the following
issues based on the City's identification of potential impacts and
will outline measures to mitigate adverse impacts to an acceptable
level.
a. Air Quality: The Initial Study will briefly comment on the
po eor deterioration of ambient air quality due to the
proposed project.
b. Water Quality: The Initial Study will briefly comment on the
en tia po l7or impacts related to surface run-off and other pos-
sible concerns.
c. Noise: Potential increases in existing noise levels will be
explored.
d. Land Use and Aesthetics: The potential for the proposed project
ro_7re_s—u7Yin the a eration of present or planned land use and
intensity of development in the surrounding area will be explored.
In addition the project will be reviewed for compatibility with
the aesthetic environment and design character of Newport Place.
I h • •
• e. Traffic/Circul4a ion: , The Initial Study will incorporate investi-
ga ion o ra is and circulation concerns by the firm of Weston
Pringle & Associates. Anaysis will address traffic generation,
effects on parking facilities and demand for parking, and impacts
on existing transportation systems. (A copy of the proposal
for this project by Weston Pringle & Associates is attached.)
f. Public Services and Utilities: The Initial Study will include
a brief identification of any potential impacts on public services
and utilities.
Other environmental concerns contained in the CEQA Guidelines including
soils and geology, plant and animal life, light and glare, depletion
of non-renewable natural resources, housing, population, and energy
are not considered to be potential environmental issues due to the limited
scale of the proposed project. Other concerns such as human health,
hazardous wastes, recreation, and cultural resources are not applicable
to use involved. A checklist of these items will be included in the
Initial Study.
Project Budget
This study will be prepared on a time and material basis for a maximum
of $8,660. This fee will include the following services:
• Screencheck Initial Study $2 600.00
Draft Initial Study & Hearings $ 00
Printing and related expenses $1_ 00066
Traffic Consultant $3',9b0:'Oa
Project Schedule
The preparation of the screencheck will be completed three weeks from
the date of authorization provided that the project does not undergo
any significant changes during the course of the study and that all
necessary information is obtained from the project appl ci ant and any
other source in a timely manner. The Draft Initial Study will be com-
pleted within two weeks, barring unforeseen circumstances.
*Printing and related expenses includes the estimated cost of printing
and binding approximately 60 copies of the Initial Study (screencheck
and Draft) and the cost of services of a graphic artist,

TRAFFIC & TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING
October 27, 1983
Ms. Marie Gilliam
1825 Westcliff Drive, Suite 177
Newport Beach, CA 92660
Dear Ms. Gilliam:
We are pleased to submit this proposal to provide professional engineering
services for a traffic study of a proposed Bank of America expansion on
Newport Place in the City of Newport Beach. This proposal is based upon
discussions with you and Fred Talarico of the City and our understanding
of the needs of the study.
In general , the work would consist of preparing a traffic study as required
• by the Traffic Phasing Ordinance of the City of Newport Beach. Estimates
would be made of trips to be generated by the project. Potential traffic
impacts would be identified and mitigation measures recommended as may be
required. A report would be prepared summarizing our findings and recom-
mendations.
We would envision the following specific tasks to be required for this study.
TASK 1 - DATA COLLECTION
We would assemble all available data pertinent to the study. This would
include development plans, existing traffic volumes, committed project
traffic, planned circulation improvements, previous studies, and similar
data. We would meet with you to review the project and ensure our under-
standing of the planned expansion. A meeting would be held with City
Staff to review the study and obtain data. Field data is not envisioned
to be required for this study..

• TASK 2 - TRIP GENERATION AND ASSIGNMENT
Estimates would be made of daily, 2.5 hour peak and PM peak hour trips
to be generated by the project and other potential projects. These
estimates would be based upon trip generation rates utilized previously
in Newport Beach. A geographic trip distribution pattern would be de-
veloped for the site based upon previous studies. The estimated pro-
ject trip generation would be assigned to the street system in confor-
mance with the distribution.
TASK 3 - ANALYSIS
Existing, committed project and regional growth traffic would be deter-
mined for the intersections identified by the City Traffic Engineer for
evaluation. As required by the Traffic Phasing Ordinance, a "One Percent"
test would be completed for these intersections. -For those intersections
failing the "One Percent" test, additional analyses in the form in Inter-
section Capacity Utilization (ICU) analyses would be completed. Any
• intersection with an ICU value greater than 0.90 would be further ana-
lyzed to determine methods of reducing the ICU value to an acceptable
leve. Consideration would be given to circulation improvements required
by other projects and planned by governmental agencies.
TASK 4 - REPORT AND MEETINGS
A report would be prepared summarizing our findings and conclusions. The
report would contain the required supportive data and be suitable for
submission to the City. We would meet with you, City Staff and -others
as may be required during the course of the study. Attendance at five
(5) ,public hearings is included as a part of this proposal .
We would be prepared to begin work on this study upon receipt of authorization.
It is anticipated that approximately three (3) weeks would be required to com-
plete the study.
• • -3-
• Our fee for the work outlined in this proposal shall be based upon personnel
charges plus direct expenses as indicated in our Standard Rate Schedule, a
copy of which is attached and made a part hereto. In no case would the total
fee exceed $3,800.00 without prior approval from you or your representative.
Since it is not possible at this time to estimate the time required for addi-
tional meetings and/or presentations concerning this project not mentioned in
this proposal , our staff would be available with the fee based upon our Rate
Schedule in addition to the previously stated maximum. The additional work
shall be conducted when requested by you or your representative.
Statements shall be submitted monthly for work in progress or upon completion
of the work at our option. As may be noted in the Rate Schedule, statements
are payable within 30 days after submission; after 60 days, unpaid invoices
shall have a 1 .5 percent per month service charge added. We shall have the
option of halting work on your project when statements are unpaid and overdue
unless mutual agreement is achieved.
• This proposal' may be considered as effective for six months from the date of
this letter. If the project is not completed within six months after the
scheduled completion date (due to no fault of Weston Pringle & Associates)
additional reimbursement will be the subject of negotiation and mutual
agreement between both parties.
This letter can serve as a memorandum of agreement and our authorization to
proceed. Please sign one copy and return it to us for our files. We are
looking forward to serving you on this most interesting project.
