TITLE: Approval of Professional Services Agreement with Michael Baker
International for Balboa Island Street and Drainage Improvements
(Project No. 22R13)
ABSTRACT:
The City of Newport Beach (City) requested proposals from qualified professional
consultants interested in providing design, permitting and construction support services
for the Balboa Island Street and Drainage Improvements project (originally entitled the
"Collins Island Bridge Replacement Project"). The process is completed and staff
requests City Council approval to enter into a professional services agreement with
Michael Baker International (MBI).
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;
and
b) Approve a Professional Services Agreement with Michael Baker International of Santa
Ana, California, for Balboa Island Street and Drainage Improvements, authorize staff
to engage with MBI for Tasks 1 (Project Management) and 2 (Preliminary Engineering)
of the services to be provided for a total amount of $195,000, and authorize the Mayor
and City Clerk to execute the agreement.
DISCUSSION:
Balboa Island had been identified as potentially vulnerable to flood risks associated with
projected sea level rise. Long-term protection of the island will require construction of
new, higher seawalls to prevent projected higher bay tides from spilling over sea walls,
as well as a new drainage collection system and stormwater pump station to remove
storm -related surface water and prevent flooding on the island. The design of the new
drainage system and stormwater pump station for Balboa Island is underway under a
separate design agreement with Pace Engineering (Contract No. 8563-1). The proposed
pump station location is indicated by the dashed green rectangle in Attachment A. The
pump station design calls for pump station discharge lines to outlet in the vicinity of the
Collins Island Bridge (shown in dashed purple lines in Attachment A).

The Collins Island Bridge, built in 1953, is still serviceable but approaching the end of its
useful life. This is an opportune time to build a new bridge as discharge lines from a
proposed stormwater pump station can be incorporated within the east abutment of the
new bridge. The existing seawall and bayfront walkway will also need to be designed and
replaced as part of this project due to the higher Collins Island Bridge adjoining to the
seawalls. The new Collins Island Bridge will be designed pursuant to updated Caltrans
and Federal Highway and Administration bridges and structures code requirements with
a bridge deck elevated two to three feet above the existing bridge deck to address
anticipated sea level rise. The bridge will be widened slightly to accommodate better
two-way traffic with a sidewalk on one side. The roadway approaches on both sides of
the bridge will be raised appropriately along with the adjacent sidewalks and transitioned
to join the existing sidewalks and accommodate existing driveway access on Collins and
Balboa Islands. Existing sewer, water and dry utility lines serving Collins Island will be
replaced within the new bridge.
A portion of the Balboa Island west end seawall will be replaced with a new, higher
seawall, and likely constructed just outside of the existing seawall. The new seawall will
extend approximately 100 feet on each side of the new bridge (see Attachment A). The
new seawalls will be designed to allow for a future cap extension if needed, up to a top
elevation of 14 feet, but final cap height for this project has not been determined. The
construction of this new, higher seawall on each side of the new Collins Island Bridge will
be the start of a longer -term program to construct a new and higher replacement seawall
around the entire perimeter of Balboa Island at a future date.
Staff issued an RFP for professional engineering design services for the proposed Balboa
Island Street and Drainage Improvements (originally entitled the "Collins Island Bridge
Replacement Project"). The RFP was sent to seven consultants. Only one firm, MBI,
submitted a proposal. MBI has strong bridge experience including the design of the
successful Park Avenue/Grand Canal Bridge Replacement that was constructed in 2017
and is currently designing a seismic retrofit for the private Harbor Island bridge. Staff
carefully reviewed the MBI proposal and worked productively with MBI engineers to craft
the scope of work and negotiate a reasonable fee for the required services. Under the
proposed agreement, MBI will develop bridge architectural concepts, seawall design
concepts, and roadway bridge approach concepts; prepare final construction documents;
and assist City staff in obtaining regulatory permits. MBI will also assist City staff in
formulating a mitigation program for the new seawall construction if necessary. The
agreement also includes $99,800 for construction support services. It is expected the
design and permitting work could be completed in approximately 18 months provided the
community outreach and engagement and the regulatory permitting proceed without
extensive delays.
With City Council approval, MBI will initially be authorized to only perform a portion of
Task 1 (Project Management) and Task 2 (Preliminary Engineering) for a total amount of
$195,000 under the express direction of Public Works. Overall design costs may be
reduced with the results of the preliminary engineering efforts directly incorporated into
the final design documents.

The central component of the preliminary engineering phase is the review of design and
architectural options for the bridge, seawalls and roadway. Potential options will consider
engineering feasibility, aesthetics, community ideas/input, and cost. Public Works will
take a leading role in the review process and carefully assign preliminary engineering
support tasks to MBI. Staff will return to City Council with a recommended preliminary
engineered option to move to final design, and with approval, will request authorization to
complete the professional services presented by MBI.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This project was originally envisioned as only replacing the existing bridge with the storm
drain discharge lines incorporated. However, the project is evolving and expanding as the
details and complexities of its replacement are further studied. With the project now
needing to include replacement of several hundred feet of the adjoining Balboa Island
seawall and bayfront boardwalk, more funding than originally estimated will be needed.
The adopted Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget includes sufficient funding for
the award of this agreement to provide the necessary design, permitting and construction
support services. It will be expensed to the Balboa Island Street and Drainage
Improvements project, 01 201927-980000-22R1 3. The source of funding for this project is
General Fund CIP. The consultant's proposed not -to -exceed fee for the entire contract is
$1,081,297; however, as discussed above, the current authorization is limited to
$195,000.
Once the design and permitting is complete, funding for construction will need to be
allocated. Staff will seek grants for a portion of the project, most likely the seawalls and
bayfront walkway, from State Tidelands funding.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not
result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment)
and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
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).

all liability arising out of changes made to Consultant's deliverables under this Agreement
by City or persons other than Consultant is waived against Consultant, and City assumes
full responsibility for such changes unless City has given Consultant prior notice and has
received from Consultant written consent for such changes.
18.3 Computer Aided Design and Drafting ("CADD") data delivered to City shall
include the professional stamp of the engineer or architect in charge of or responsible for
the Work. City agrees that Consultant shall not be liable for claims, liabilities or losses

the dispute with respect to such payment. Such withholding shall not be deemed to
constitute a failure to pay according to the terms of this Agreement. Consultant shall not
discontinue Work as a result of such withholding. Consultant shall have an immediate
right to appeal to the City Manager or designee with respect to such disputed sums.
Consultant shall be entitled to receive interest on any withheld sums at the rate of return

2.3 BRIDGE CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
Consultant will propose options for new bridge and abutments with a new deck elevation of
approximately 11 feet NAVD88. New abutments shalt be designed to accommodate
stormwater pump station discharge lines currently under design by others. Bridge foundation
Michael Baker International, Inc. Page A-3 6-19
concepts will be based upon preliminary recommendations provided by our Geotechnical
Engineer.
This task includes preparing up to three (3) bridge concept designs, including material
recommendations and architectural features, appropriate for the neighborhood including a
swing guard gate, lighting, irrigation, landscaping, and bridge signage.
Bridge Planning_ Study: Consultant will prepare concept plans in support of the Preliminary
Engineering Phase to develop a feasible structure type and cost estimate considering the
existing bridge, roadway and other conditions for the bridge replacement. We will investigate
and determine the structure length, width and type, span lengths, structure depth, railing
types, including temporary barriers, abutment types, vertical and horizontal clearances,
location, approach slabs, and stage construction. The storm drain discharge system from the
Park Avenue Pump Station consists of concrete walls and weir will be incorporated into the
bridge plans. Consultant will coordinate with the pump station design engineer for hydraulic
discharge rates, and the geotechnical engineer for structural foundation designs. Bridge and
seawall foundation concepts will be based upon preliminary geotechnical recommendations
from our geotechnical engineer as noted in Task 5. A concept level cost estimate for each
design option will be provided.
The exhibits developed for the Bridge Planning Study will consist of one plan sheet showing
the basic bridge plan, elevation, profile, typical section, estimated cost summary, and a
Design Memo summarizing all the critical assumptions of the design.
2.4 SEAWALL CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
Consultant will prepare design concepts for the new seawalls south of (about 100 feet) and
north of (about 80 feet) the east end of the bridge, raising the boardwalk one to two feet.
Based on the selected concept, Consultant will perform a structural review of existing sheet
pile walls and geotechnical studies to evaluate the reuse or replacement of seawalls. The
new seawall design concepts will be included when preparing and processing environmental
documents.
2.5 ROADWAY CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
Consultant will prepare design concepts for raising the west -side roadway approach (on
Collins Island) and eastside roadway approaches (on Balboa Island) to the bridge.
Impacts from drainage, existing garages, sidewalks, and landscaping will be incorporated into
the design concepts. In reviewing the plans provided by the City, it appears the street surface
runoff from Collins Island passes over the existing bridge. By raising the bridge deck
elevation, a new storm drain inlet and outlet on Collins Island may be required and will be
studied.
2.6 ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS
Consultant will prepare architectural drawings and renderings for the three (3) concept
options selected for further review. Drawings of the replacement bridge concepts will be in
color, appropriately mounted, with a minimum size of 36 inches by 24 inches, swtab€e for
Michael Baker International, Inc. Page A-4 6-20
public display. Consultant will also prepare exhibits for power -point presentations at public
information meetings.
TASK 3 - TECHNICAL STUDIES
3.1a Air Quality
Existing Conditions/RegulatoryConditions/Regulatory Framework. The project is located within the South Coast Air
Basin (SCAB), which is under the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management
District (SCAQMD). Baseline meteorological and air quality data developed through the
California Air Resources Board (CARB) will be utilized for the description of existing ambient
air quality. The analysts will describe and address the requirements set forth by the SCAQMD
CEQA Air Quality Handbook.
Construction and Operational Related Emissions. Construction emissions will be quantified
with the California Emissions Estimator Model version 2022.1 (CalEEMod). A general
description of the major phases of construction and their timing will be required. The air
pollutant emissions during construction will be compared to the SCAQMD Regional
Thresholds of Significance. Naturally occurring asbestos impacts will also be qualitatively
discussed. As the project would not significantly increase capacity or volumes of traffic in the
area, operational emissions will be qualitatively evaluated.
Localized Emissions. The project is located within the SCAQMD's Source Receptor Area
(SRA) 18 (North Orange County Coastal). Based on localized meteorological data for SRA
18, Consultant will analyze localized impacts based upon the SCAQMD's Localized
Significance Thresholds (LST) methodology.
Air EmissionsHealthImpacts. As a result of the California Supreme Court decision for Sierra
Club vs. County of Fresno (Friant Ranch L.P.), the resultant human health impacts from the
project's short-term construction and long-term operational air emissions will be analyzed.
3.1 b Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Consultant will review the land use data and will prepare an inventory of the greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions (i_e., nitrous oxide, methane, and carbon dioxide) from both direct and
indirect sources. In addition, total GHG emissions from construction activities will be
amortized into the GHG emissions inventory. CaIEEMod will be used to quantify GHG
emissions. The project -related GHG emissions will be assessed against the appropriate
SCAQMD bright -line screening threshold, project -level efficiency threshold, and/or a different
threshold in consultation with the SCAQMD.
3.1 c Energy
Consultant will analyze the energy implications of the project pursuant to Public Resources
Code Section 21100(b)(3) and Appendix G and Appendix F of the CEQA Guidelines. These
statutes and guidelines require a project to describe, where relevant, the wasteful, inefficient,
and unnecessary consumption of energy caused by a project. In addition, Appendix G of the
CEQA Guidelines requires a consistency analysis with state or local plans for renewable
energy or energy efficiency. The analysis will quantify energy consumption associated with
short-term construction activities.
Michael Baker International, Inc. V Page A-5
6-21
3.1 d Noise
Existing Conditions. The applicable noise and land use compatibility criteria for the project
area will be reviewed and noise standards regulating noise impacts will be discussed for land
uses on and adjacent to the project site. Short-term noise measurements will be conducted
at two locations in the project vicinity.
Construction -Related Noise and Vibration. Noise impacts from construction sources will be
analyzed based on the anticipated equipment to be used, length of a specific construction
task; equipment power type (gasoline or diesel engine), horsepower, load factor, and
percentage of time in use. The construction noise impacts will be evaluated in terms of
maximum levels (Lmax) and hourly equivalent continuous noise levels (Leq) and the
frequency of occurrence at adjacent sensitive locations. An analysis of vibration impacts will
be based on the Federal Transit Administrations vibration analysis guidance. Analysis
requirements will be based on the sensitivity of the area, anticipated construction activities,
and Noise Ordinance specifications.
Operational Noise Sources. As the project would not significantly increase capacity or
volumes of traffic in the area, operational noise will be qualitatively evaluated.
3.1e Cultural Resources
Cultural and Paleontological Analysis. As part of the cultural resources identification study,
Consultant will complete a cultural resources records search of the project site with a '/2-mile
search radius at the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC). and will also
complete literature, historic map and aerial photo review, local historical society consultation,
a built environment survey, and an archaeological sensitivity analysis of the project site. The
existing Collins Island Bridge is over 56 years old and is proposed for replacement, therefore,
it will be evaluated for eligibility for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources.
The bridge will be recorded and evaluated on the appropriate California Department of Parks
and Recreation (DPR) 523 series forms. No archaeological survey is proposed because the
project area is hardscaped with no exposed soils. The intent of the above -mentioned cultural
resources identification efforts is to determine if there are historical resources, as defined in
Section 15064.5(a) of the California Environmental Quality Act, within the project site.
As part of the paleontological identification efforts, Consultant will conduct a fossil locality
search at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles, literature and geologic map review, a
paleontological resources sensitivity analysis, and provide recommendations.
Tire findings of the cultural and paleontological resources identification efforts will be
summarized in a combined memorandum that will be appended to the environmental
document. The memorandum will describe the project site, methods, and results of the
cultural and paleontological resources identification efforts described above, and
recommendations or mitigation measures, as applicable. The DPR 523 series forms will be
included as an appendix. This task assumes there are no archaeological resources present
within the project site that will require recordation or evaluation for listing in the California
Register of Historical Resources.
Michael Baker International, Inc. Page A-6 s 22
Assembly Bill 52 (AB52) Assistance. Consultant will assist the City with meeting Native
American consultation requirements pursuant to AB52. In coordination with the City, we will
prepare the draft consultation letters to tribes that have requested AB52 notification.
However, because consultation is required to be government -to -government, pursuant to
State law, Consultant assumes the City will send the consultation letters, complete the AB52
consultation, and provide the consultation log with supporting documentation (ex. letters,
emails, phone conversation summaries) for inclusion in the environmental document. This
scope does not include meetings or additional consultation.
Section 106 Cultural Study. In support of regulatory permitting activities that will be required
through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Consultant will prepare a Cultural
Resources Identification Report required for USACE to address requirements of Section 106
of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA).
Consultant will conduct the following tasks to identify cultural resources in the project's Area
of Potential Effects (APE):
• A South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) records search with '/z-mile
radius, cultural resources inventory review, and literature/map review for
archaeological, ethnographic, historical, and environmental information to identify
known cultural resources within and adjacent to the APE.
• Conduct a Native American Heritage Commission Sacred Lands File search to assist
the USACE with meeting Native American consultation requirements pursuant to
Section 106 of the NHPA. We will contact the Native American Heritage Commission
in Sacramento for a review of the Sacred Lands File to determine if the APE contains
any known sacred lands, and a list of Native American contacts who may have
concerns about the project within the APE.
Contact one historical society for any information or concerns it may have about the
project within the APE.
• Conduct an architectural resources survey to photo document Collins Island Bridge.
An archaeological resources survey is not required because the project site is
hardscaped with no exposed soils.
■ Evaluated Collins Island Bridge for eligibility for listing in the California Register of
Historical Resources and National Register of Historic Places. The bridge will be
recorded and evaluated on the appropriate California Department of Parks and
Recreation (APR) 523 series forms.
• As part of the paleontological identification efforts, Consultant will conduct a fossil
locality search at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles, literature and geologic
map review, a paleontological resources sensitivity analysis, and provide
recommendations.
We will prepare the Cultural Resources identification Report describing the APE, methods
and results of the cultural resources identification efforts described above, and
recommendations or mitigation measures, as applicable. The report will be used to support
the permit application and will address the requirements of Section 106 of the NHPA_ This
task assumes that there are no archaeological resources within the APE that require
evaluation for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places or California Register of
Historical Resources. Only one resource, the Collins Island Bridge, is assumed to require
Michael Baker International, Inc. Page A-7
6-23
evaluation. It is assumed that the USACE will conduct the Section 106 Native American
consultation.
3.2 CEQA COMPLIANCE
This task assumes that the City of Newport Beach will be the lead agency for the CEQA
process, and that an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (ISIMND) will be the
appropriate form of clearance documentation. Should one or more impacts be identified as
significant and unavoidable (thus necessitating the preparation of an EIR), a separate scope
of work and contract modification would be required. Consultant will prepare the ISIMND in
accordance with the CEQA Guidelines and the City's local implementation procedures. A
detailed description of the CEQA work program is provided below.
3.2a introduction

City would be responsible for the payment of any required filing fees for the California
Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).
TASK 4 — REGULATORY AGENCY & COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT
APPLICATIONS
4.1 DELINEATION OF JURISDICTIONAL WATERS
Based on a preliminary desktop review, it is understood that the proposed project has the
potential to impact both State and Federal jurisdictional resources. As such, Consultant will
conduct a site reconnaissance and perform a delineation of jurisdictional "waters of the United
States" and "waters of the State" (including potential wetlands), located within and/or
immediately adjacent to the boundaries of the project site. The jurisdictional delineation will
result in:
a determination of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) ordinary high-water mark
(OHWM) and indicate the existence of any three (3) {parameter wetlands on -site. The
actual presence or absence of wetlands on -site will be verified through the
determination of the presence of wetland hydrology, hydrophytic vegetation, and
hydric soils pursuant to the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland
Delineation Manual: Arid West Region (Version 2.0) (Corps 2008),
• a determination of the Regional Water Quality Control Board's (Regional Board)
jurisdiction based on the adopted State Wetland Definition and Procedures for
Discharges of Dredged or Fill Material to Waters of the State (State Water Resources
Control Board, 2019).
Prior to surveying the project site, Consultant will conduct a thorough literature review of
relevant information to support the site reconnaissance and report preparation. Sources
reviewed are anticipated to include topographic maps, USDA Web Soil Survey,
historic/current aerial photographs, Federal Emergency Management Agency flood zone
maps, USFWS National Wetlands Inventory Mapper, hydrology/climate information, and
watershed data.
Once the site visit is complete and the project site's baseline information is obtained,
Consuitant will prepare a letter report discussing on -site jurisdictional areas. Pursuant to
agency requirements, the report will include the required exhibits to enhance the written text
and identify jurisdictional areas. This task includes time for GIS analysis to support the
preparation of the jurisdictional delineation figures. The delineation figures will be a scale of
Michael Baker International, Inc. Page A-11
6-27
1" = 300' or greater and will consist of an aerial photograph. Drainage and/or wetland features
will be overlaid on the aerial photograph and the extent (acreage and linear feet) of each
agency's jurisdiction will be identified.
Assumptions and Exclusions. This task assumes one (f) field survey will be conducted by
two (2) certified wetland delineators and allows for one (1) round of re viewlrevisions prior to
submittal.
Deliverables: Consultant will submit an electronic copy (POF) of the final jurisdictional

The entirety of Newport Bay is a legally navigable waterway of the U.S. Accordingly,
Consultant will facilitate consultation between the Corps and U.S. Coast Guard (USCG).
Additionally, Consultant will coordinate with Client to prepare an Initiation Letter to the USCG
that would permit Consultant to act on behalf of the Client. The jurisdictional delineation
prepared for the project would include identification of the mean high-water line for purposes
of identifying the USCG jurisdictional limits. Other pertinent plans and documents prepared
as part of the overall scope of work would also be submitted to support USCG review. Based
on the review of the project it is anticipated that the project activities would qualify for
Advanced Approval pursuant to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR§ 115.70), as it relates
to bridge construction. The considerations below outline the proposed approach as they
relate to Advanced Approval from the USCG.
■ The General Bridge Act of 1946 requires the approval of the location and plans of
bridges prior to start of construction (33 U.S.C. 525). The Commandant has given his
advance approval to the location and plans of bridges to be constructed across
reaches of waterways navigable in law, but not actually navigated other than by logs,
log rafts, rowboats, canoes and small motorboats. In such cases the clearances
provided for high water stages will be considered adequate to meet the reasonable
needs of navigation.
■ The term "small motorboats' `shall be interpreted in the light of the things and
conditions with which it is associated. The term means rowboats, canoes and other
similar craft with outboard motors. It does not include sailing or cabin cruiser craft.
4.5 COASTAL DEVELOPMENT Permit Application
The proposed project is located within the California Coastal Zone and is therefore subject to
the California Coastal Act. Although the City of Newport Beach has a certified Local Coastal
Program, (LCP), the California Coastal Commission (CCC) retains original permit jurisdiction
over certain specified lands, such as submerged lands, tidelands, and public trust lands.
Per the Act, the proposed improvements qualify as a "Project" and would therefore be
required to obtain a Coastal Development Permit (CDP). Consultant will assist in preparing
the CDP application and processing the application through the CCC. Consultant will prepare
a submittal package to obtain a CDP from the CCC. The submittal package is anticipated to
include:
Michael Baker International, Inc. Page A-13

TASK 5 — FINAL DESIGN PLANS. SPECIFICATIONS & ESTIMATE IP
This Task describes the work related to Final PS&E for the preferred alternative as described
in the Bridge Design Memo prepared in the Preliminary Design Phase. A Geometric Concept
Plan will require final City concurrence prior to initiation of the final plans, specifications, and
estimates. The work will use the following assumptions:
• The limits of the Collins Island bridge replacement and roadway improvements are
from Collins Isle to the Bay Front Alley.
• The Collins Island Bridge will be replaced in two (2) stages allowing for traffic across
the Canal through construction. A temporary traffic control plan will be necessary to
control one-way traffic across the bridge during stage construction. Bicycle and
pedestrian traffic will be accommodated during construction.
• Asphalt Concrete on the west approach and PCC pavement on the east approach will
be removed and replaced to incorporate a smooth transition to the bridge structure,
and as required, to accommodate relocation of underground utilities.
• Concrete sidewalks and ramps will be removed and replaced to accommodate the
new bridge structure and comply with ADA design standards.
• The existing landscape and irrigation improvements will be removed and replaced in
kind.
• The existing roadway signs and pavement marking will be removed and replaced in
kind.
• All active utilities will remain in use through the construction of the project. Temporary
relocation of utilities may be necessary to facilitate bridge removal and reconstruction.
• Concept Stage Construction and Traffic Handling Plans will be developed to illustrate
the 2-stage construction alternative. The Concept Stage Construction and Traffic
Handling Plans will require final City concurrence prior to initiation of the final PS&E.
5.1 UTILITY COORDINATION
Consultant will identify utilities for rerouting or realignment based on utility research and
perform potholing investigations. A total of six (6) potholes are anticipated.
Consultant will prepare Utility Location Plans and develop a utility conflict matrix identifying
conflicts with the project. The utility conflict matrix will be provided to the City. Consultant
will coordinate and work closely with the City and the anticipated involved utility companies
(Southern California Edison (SCE), Time Warner Cable (TWC), and Southern California Gas
Company (SCGC) to determine the need to relocate impacted litres. Consultant will
coordinate and attend up to eight project coordination meetings assuming two with each utility
Michael Baker International, Inc. Page A-15 6-31
owner. It is assumed the utility companies (SCGC, SCE and TWC) will perform relocation
design (interimlpermanent) for their own facilities. Consultant will prepare the relocation
design for the City -owned facilities (water and sewer) if required. Plans for any extension of
utility service facilities up to the designated service point of connection will be prepared by
the utility company.
An allowance has been provided to perform six (6) potholes of existing utilities and prepare
and distribute utility base maps to affected utilities. Pothole locations shall be approved by
the City prior to potholing. A pothole location map will be prepared summarizing the planned
pothole locations.
A utility relocation feasibility study will be prepared to evaluate existing systems and optimize
relocations. Consultant will prepare utility record drawing request letters under City letterhead
for City to mail to utility owners.
If utilities are required to be relocated, City and utility owners will provide the prior rights
determination. It is assumed the City will also prepare a Utility Relocation Agreement (URA)
and Joint Use Agreement (JUA) or Consent to Common Use Agreement (CCUA) for each
prior right utility relocation within City right-of-way, as applicable. The City will also be
responsible for all negotiations with the utility companies for cost responsibility, notices to
relocate and processing the URA's for approval. URA's will also be prepared by the City for
non -prior rights utility relocations.
5.2 GEGTECHNICAL ENGINEERING
Geotechnical engineering services will be provided by Earth Mechanics, Inc. (EMI). The new
bridge will consist of single span with a length of about 56 feet. The new abutments are
assumed to be supported on 24-inch Cast -in -Drilled -Hole (CIDH) secant piles connected to
a pile cap.
It is anticipated that the liquefaction potential of the onsite soils to be high. The near -surface
soils are also anticipated to be highly compressible. The liquefiable and compressible soils
will require additional foundation design efforts as compared to a similar bridge founded on
competent soils.
Geotechnical Field Investigation. The proposed field investigation includes the following:
Design Element No. of Borings Approx. Boring Depth
Bridge Abutments and 2 70 feet or refusal
new Seawalls
The borings will be located on each side of the existing bridge along the roadways. The
borings will be performed at the approach with traffic control. Boreholes will be excavated
using a hollow -stem auger or rotary -wash drill rig. Spoils will be mixed with cement for
backfilling the boreholes. Asphalt concrete cold -patch or quick -set Portland cement concrete
will be used to replace paving that will be removed to conduct the borings. Positions and
ground surface elevations at the boring will be surveyed by others, if required.
Michael Baker International, Inc. Page A-16 6-32
EMI will prepare a boring location plan. This plan will be provided to the City and Consultant,
prior to the field investigation, for the purpose of securing the required encroachment permits.
EMI will secure a permit from the City.
EMI field personnel will collect soil samples for laboratory testing at a vertical interval of 5 feet
or 10 feet. Samples of subsurface soils will be logged during the field investigation, secured
in their containers or collected in plastic bags, and transported to the EMI laboratory.
Traffic control will be established in accordance with the Work Area Traffic Control Handbook.
It is our assumption that traffic control plans will not be required by the City for the
geotechnical investigations.
Laboratory Testing: EMI will select representative soil samples for laboratory testing. Various
laboratory tests will be performed to determine or derive physical and engineering
characteristics of soils. The anticipated laboratory soil tests include: in -place moisture and
density, Passing #200 Sieve, Atterberg Limits, direct shear, unconsolidated-undrained
triaxial, consolidation, R-value and soil corrosion tests. Tests will be conducted in general
accordance with California Test (CT) methods or American Society for Testing and Materials
(ASTM) standards.
Geotechnical_ Engineering Analyses: Results obtained from the field investigation and
laboratory testing will be used to characterize subsurface sails and conditions and create an
idealized profile for design purposes. The following analyses will be performed for the project:
• Determine an ARS curve using the Caltrans online web -based tool, ARS Online
Version 3.0.2.
■ Evaluate liquefaction potential and seismically -induced settlement.
■ Evaluate liquefaction induced lateral spreading at the approaches.
• Determine axial capacity of piles.
• Provide lateral pile resistance or LPILE input parameters for the CIDH piles.
• Provide lateral earth pressure recommendations for seawalls, which are anticipated
to be sheet pile walls.
• Evaluate soil corrosivity.
• Calculate flexible pavement structural sections at the approaches.
Report Preparation: EMI will prepare a Foundation Report. The format of this report will
generally follow 2021 Caltrans Guidelines Foundation Reports for Bridges. If necessary, we
will also prepare a short technical memo for bridge type selection.
Assumptions: Hours and costs are based on the scope of work described herein and the
assumptions listed below:
• No investigation of hazardous materials. If hazardous materials are encountered
during the geotechnical field investigation, EMI will terminate our work and notify the
City.
• There is no permit fee. City will allow a "no fee permit" for this work.
• Canal work is limited to global stability assessment of channel slopes below the bridge
soffit.
