ABSTRACT:
As part of the Capital Improvement Program, final design efforts for the Superior Avenue
Pedestrian Bridge and Parking Lot ("Superior Avenue Bridge") project are currently
underway. The City recently received grant funding for environmental review and design
services for the West Coast Highway Widening and Pedestrian Bridge ("WCH Bridge")
project. Amendments to Professional Services Agreements (PSA) with both Chambers
Groups, Inc. and Dokken Engineering are needed to complete the environmental review
and design services, respectively, for the WCH Bridge project. Staff is also
recommending a revision to the approved conceptual design related to the Superior
Avenue pedestrian bridge structure.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because
this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly;
b) Approve Amendment No. 2 in the amount of $227,821.00 to the Professional Services

Dokken Engineering's proposed not -to -exceed fee for Amendment No. 1 is $970,000.00
DISCUSSION:
The Superior Avenue and West Coast Highway Intersection Improvements project
(Project No. 15T09) as identified in the FY 2020-21 Capital Improvement Program budget
is comprised of two separate projects:
1) Superior Avenue Pedestrian Bridge and Parking Lot ("Superior Avenue Bridge")
2) West Coast Highway Widening and Pedestrian Bridge ("WCH Bridge")
These two projects are being administered separately. The Superior Avenue Bridge
project is in the final design stage while the WCH Bridge project will commence with
environmental review and conceptual design upon approval of the recommended PSA
amendments.
Amendments to Professional Services Agreements
On May 1, 2019, the City entered into a PSA with Chambers Group, Inc. in the amount of
$116,975.00, to complete the environmental services for the Superior Avenue Bridge
project. The PSA scope of work included preparation of environmental documents to
satisfy both California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) requirements. Amendment No. 1 in the amount of $44,242.00 was
approved by City Council on September 10, 2019, for additional technical studies as
required by regulatory agencies. The CEQA Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was
adopted by City Council on November 19, 2019, and the NEPA Categorical Exclusion
was approved by Caltrans on January 13, 2020.
During the November 19, 2019, City Council meeting, a PSA with Dokken Engineering
for professional engineering services for the Superior Avenue Bridge project was also
approved by City Council. The PSA scope of work involved preparation of construction
documents for a new pedestrian bridge across Superior Avenue and a new larger parking
lot. Design services are currently 30 percent complete and are scheduled to be completed
in the Summer of 2021. Construction will start shortly after, as originally planned.

With City Council adoption of Resolution 2020-4 on January 14, 2020, staff submitted a
funding application to the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) under the
Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (CTFP) for the WCH Bridge project.
The CTFP is funded with Orange County Measure M2 funds. On May 11, 2020, OCTA
Board approved the City's application. The City will receive a grant up to $780,000 to
complete the environmental review and design services for the WCH Bridge project. As
part of this grant program, a minimum of 35 percent local agency funding match is
required. Staff estimated $1.2 million to complete the environmental review and design
services. As described in Resolution 2020-4, the City is required to contribute $420,000
(35 percent of $1.2 million) towards these services. The FY 2020-21 adopted CIP budget
recognized the grant award and includes the required matching funds for this project.
The proposed improvements for both projects involve improving the intersection of
Superior Avenue and West Coast Highway. Although these two projects are separate,
they are immediately adjacent to one another. The Superior Avenue Bridge project
involves constructing a new pedestrian bridge across Superior Avenue and a new larger
parking lot. The new pedestrian bridge will improve access to Sunset Ridge Park and the
new larger parking lot will provide additional parking for visitors to Sunset Ridge Park and
the beach. The WCH Bridge project involves widening West Coast Highway to increase
vehicular capacity and constructing a pedestrian bridge across West Coast Highway. With
the completion of both projects, sidewalks and two crosswalks at this intersection can be
eliminated as pedestrians will be able to use the two new bridges and ramps. Eliminating
two crosswalks and moving the pedestrians from the street level to the bridges and ramps
will significantly improve pedestrian access and safety. This will also greatly improve
traffic signal operation and vehicular circulation by allowing more traffic signal green time
for vehicles traveling through the intersection. The design of the Superior Avenue Bridge
project will account for the proposed improvements of the WCH Bridge project. Because
of the proximity of these two projects, they will need to be closely coordinated.
These two projects are in different stages of development; however, they will be
administered simultaneously. Construction of the Superior Avenue Bridge project is
scheduled to start in the fall of 2021, at which time the environmental review and
conceptual design for the WCH Bridge project will be underway. During the construction
of the first project, the contractor may discover unforeseen field conditions that may affect
the design of the second project. The simultaneous timing of these two projects will need
to be coordinated to avoid potential design and construction conflicts.
The WCH Bridge project is more complex than Superior Avenue Bridge project as it will
require real property acquisition from adjacent property owners on the north side of West
Coast Highway in order to realign and widen the major arterial. This segment of West
Coast Highway is under Caltrans' jurisdiction. Modifications to this state highway will
require their approval. The City entered into several PSAs with various consultants to
complete the Superior Avenue Bridge project. The total professional services cost for the
Superior Avenue Bridge project is approximately $1,263,000.

The recommended PSA amendments to complete similar services for the more complex
WCH Bridge project is just under $1.2 million. Staff believes that the lower costs may be
attributed to the consultants' familiarity with the first project.
The approval of these two PSA amendments will allow staff to proceed with environmental
review, conceptual design, permitting, and final design efforts for the WCH Bridge project.
The two current consultants for the Superior Avenue Bridge project, which are Chambers
Group, Inc. and Dokken Engineering, are both performing very well and have met all
deliverables as outlined in their respective scope of work. Staff recommends continuing
with the same design team for the WCH Bridge project to maintain continuity and close
coordination of both projects.
Revisions to Phase 1 Conceatual Desian
During the conceptual design development of Superior Avenue Bridge project, several
bridge structures were considered. City Council ultimately selected the 3 -span concrete
bridge. The primary reasons for selecting the 3 -span concrete bridge were for its common
construction methods, minimal maintenance and cost effectiveness. The one major
drawback with this design is the need for two mid -span concrete supports due to the
length of the bridge structure. These two concrete supports would need to be constructed
within the Superior Avenue median and behind the sidewalk on the Sunset Ridge Park
side. Although this design would meet all current design standards, it does introduce two
large physical obstructions on Superior Avenue.
While preparing the final design construction documents, Dokken Engineering proposed
an alternate concrete bridge that does not require any mid -span supports. The proposed
bridge structure is a single -span concrete arch bridge. The two mid -span concrete
supports are replaced with a structural and aesthetic concrete arch. This design has all
the advantages associated with the previously approved 3 -span concrete bridge. In
addition, it eliminates the primary drawback of needing two mid -span concrete supports.
The height of the proposed concrete arch bridge is within the visual analysis limitations
that was completed as part of the project environmental review. The cost of the single -
span concrete arch bridge is similar to the 3 -span concrete bridge. Staff believes that
there is a lot of merit with this alternate design and recommends proceeding with the
single -span concrete arch bridge.
At the time that the conceptual design for the Superior Avenue Bridge project was
approved, staff was not actively working on the WCH Bridge project. A staircase from the
West Coast Highway sidewalk to the top of the Superior Avenue bridge was proposed as
part of the approved conceptual design. This staircase would eventually need to be
removed to accommodate the widening and realignment of West Coast Highway. Since
funding for the design of the WCH Bridge project is now available, staff recommends
eliminating the temporary staircase from the Superior Avenue Bridge project. In the
interim, the general public will be able to access the parking lot and Superior Avenue
bridge via the existing sidewalks.

of Work.
This task does not include new technical studies or reports not specifically identified in this
proposal. City shall provide the application fees directly, as applicable, for each permit
application.
Assumptions: Based on our understanding of the current Project, Consultant assumes no
Section 404 permit from the US Army Corps of Engineers, Section 401 and/or Waste
Discharge requirement from the Regional Water Quality Control Board. nor Section 1600-
1602 Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement would be required. In addition, based on the
current understanding, no Section 7 and/or Section 10 consultation or permit shall be required
from resources agencies, specifically the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW)
and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFW) as no threatened or endangered species is
expected to occur within the Project footprint. If waters and/or wetlands are identified within
the Project area and are determined to be jurisdictional under either the Clean Water Act or
California Fish and Game Code, additional permitting effort shall be required under separate
scope of work and fee.
Task Ph2 -2.3 Biological Resources
Consultant shall work with the City to provide biological resources analysis efforts for the
Project.
Task Ph2 -2.3.1: Biological Resource Literature Review, Field Survey, and Biological
Technical Report
Prior to commencing the general biological survey, Consultant shall conduct a literature and
database review of the project area. The database review shall include the United States
Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5 -minute topographic quadrangle containing the site, California
Department of Fish and Wildlife's (CDFW) California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB),
the United States Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS) sensitive species occurrence database
and critical habitat areas, and the California Native Plant Society's Electronic Inventory
(CNPSEI), National Wetland Inventory (NWI), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) general soils map, previous vegetation maps and
biological surveys prepared for the site (if available), and aerial photographs of the area prior
to surveying the site for current relevant information. In addition, biological information
included in reports previously prepared for closely related projects shall be reviewed and
referenced.
After conducting the literature search and database review, biologists shall conduct a
reconnaissance -level survey of the Project area which includes a bridge that shall span West
Coast Highway (within 150 feet of the proposed parking lot and pedestrian bridge), and the
12-15
realignment and lane expansion area along West Coast Highway). Vegetation communities
on the Project site and the immediate vicinity shall be surveyed, mapped, and qualitatively
described. The field survey shall focus primarily on determining the presence or potential
presence of federal- or state -listed or otherwise sensitive plant and wildlife species and
sensitive habitats. In addition, the survey shall focus on identifying the presence of any
sensitive habitats that may be protected under the California Coastal Commission. The
survey shall include a waters assessment to confirm the presence of jurisdictional waters in
the area. Photographs shall be taken to document the current conditions of the Project site
and vicinity. Plants and wildlife observed during the survey shall be recorded and provided
as appendices to the report.
After completing the biological survey, Consultant shall prepare a Biological Technical Report

California, Government Land Office Plat Maps, Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, local historical
societies and libraries, as well as inventory files and data on -file with other agencies that
control property near the area. The task shall also include a search for potential prehistoric
and/or historic burials (human remains) evident in previous site records and/or historical maps
12-21
(i.e., Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, Government Land Office Plat Maps). A review of the
geological formations and a records search at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles
County Department of Vertebrate Paleontology (LACM)shall also be conducted. The City
shall be the lead under AB 52 Tribal Consultation (if necessary). Please note that this
research alone does not satisfy the lead agency's requirements under AB 52.
Fees incurred by the LACM are estimated to be $250 for the paleontological records search
and are included in our cost. Fees incurred by the SCCIC to conduct the record search have
been estimated at $1,000 and are included as part of this estimated cost.
Note: The South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) is currently closed due to
COVID-19 and conducting record searches is not possible. When the facility shut its doors,
they were running on an 8 -week delay in turn -around time. Consultant can conduct the field
survey without the record search data and provide an interim report; however. if record search
results do not agree with the results of our field survey, we may need to conduct an additional
field check before finalizing the report and a contract augment shall be required. The benefit
of this approach is to allow for draft CEQA documents and permit applications to be
completed while awaiting the record search data: however. Consultant shall employ the
direction of the City.
Consultant shall complete a field survey of the Proposed Project area. The cultural resources
survey shall be conducted in accordance with the professional standards as described by the
National Parks Service, Secretary of Interior's Standards and Guidelines, as amended for
Archaeology and Historic Preservation. Consultant cultural resources specialist shall survey
the Project area for the presence of:
• Prehistoric artifacts (e.g., flaked stone tools).
• Tool-making debris, stone milling tools,
• Historic artifacts (e.g., metal, glass, ceramics),
• Sediment discoloration (ex. midden, hearth features),
• Depressions and other features indicative of the former presence of structures or buildings
(e.g., post holes, foundations),
• Historic ruins, buildings, structures, and/or objects.
This cost estimate assumes one archaeologist and one paleontologist from Consultant shall
complete the survey within one 8 -hour day. This cost estimate assumes no cultural resources
shall be encountered during this survey. If cultural resources are identified, a revised scope
of work and cost may be necessary.
Letter Report
The results of the cultural resources study shall be summarized in a letter report which shall
include; the results of the literature review and field survey, proposed mitigation measures (if
any), and site photos and references. The letter report is assumed to contain up to 15 pages
of text, graphics, and appendices. A draft copy of the letter report shall be provided to the City
for review. This cost estimate assumes no more than four hours to address comments and to
finalize the letter report. If additional comments are received, a revised scope of work and
cost for additional review may be necessary.
