Our proven track record of completing all types of waterfront projects demonstrates that we have the experience, local knowledge, and technical expertise necessary to complete any project the City envisions. We offer a deep bench of staff with engineering, permitting, environmental, and other technical capabilities as well as a reputation for applying a holistic, inclusive, and resilient approach. As local residents who enjoy Newport Beach's waterfront areas, we have a vested interest in the City's success in this field. Our team consists of Dudek as the prime consultant with two subconsultants: GeoEngineers for geotechnical enginering, and Reid Middleton for waterfront structural engineering. Together, the Dudek team provides the City with several distinct advantages: ■ Multidisciplinary environmental and engineering services ■ Founded in 1980; 45 years in business ■ 20 offices ■ 900+ employees ■ 100% employee -owned ■ Top 108 U.S. Environmental Firm (Engineering News - Record, 2023) ■ Top 54 California Design Firm (Engineering News - Record, 2023) Extensive Technical Marine/Coastal Engineering Expertise. Our team offers comprehensive technical marine and coastal engineering expertise honed through years of experience on diverse and challenging projects. We have a complete technical understanding of coastal processes, including fluid mechanics, wave action, and sea level rise, and utilize state-of-the-art modeling and analysis tools to develop robust and sustainable solutions. Our engineering team includes dozens of coastal, structural, and geotechnical engineers with design experience on piers, docks, and other waterfront structures, and we have been entrusted by major clients, such as the U.S. Navy. Key staff provide both project experience directly with the City of Newport Beach and new perspectives compared to the marine engineering firms the City has recently been working with. In addition to engineering, our team's capabilities encompass the full range of services required to fulfill the Scope of Work, from public outreach to marine biological sciences. Our team structure will be engineer -led by Dudek with scientists, permitters, and planners in-house, which will result in more rapid and efficient project completion. On -Call Marine/ Coastal Engineering Services DUDEK Local MultidisciplinaryTeam with Proven History in Newport Beach. Dudek as a firm has supported the City on a variety of complex engineering and environmental projects for the past 23 years. Our work with the City spans over 35 distinct contracts, including coastal consulting services. Recent projects include the Bay Crossing Water Transmission Mains and Big Canyon Habitat Restoration Project. We also maintain a longstanding, active on -call contract with the County of Orange, specializing in regulatory permitting and restoration services. Under this agreement, we have successfully delivered comprehensive solutions for over 60 projects and continue supporting the county with ongoing expertise and project execution. Our unique experience working as the current General Plan Update consultant, for example, gives Dudek unmatched insight into the City's broader planning philosophies and guidelines. Dudek's local office is in Mission Viejo, and our staff who live within, or in the direct vicinity of, Newport Beach have the flexibility to work remotely. This contract would be managed by Patrick Miskel, PE, who lived in Newport Beach for 8 years and actively spends much of his free time there as a volleyball player and runner. Efficient Project Delivery and a Team Ready to Hit the Ground Running. Dudek prides itself on being a fast - paced, technology -driven company. Our approach to efficient project delivery centers on proactive planning, streamlined communication, and requiring all staff to be up to speed on the latest technologies and systems. Having the engineers, surveyors, and permitters in the same room and technologically integrated greatly improves productivity. Dudek, GeoEngineers, and Reid Middleton are actively working together on other waterfront projects, including the Carlsbad ADA Beach Access Ramps project, which means our team has an established relationship and is already connected with direct lines of communication. In total, our team's firms combine with over 1,200 staff ready to be quickly mobilized on projects of any size.

Introduction and Scope of Work Understanding Newport Beach CITY WATERFRONT HISTORY Throughout human history, vibrant urban waterfronts have functioned at the center point of societal commerce, recreation, and culture. Newport Beach's modern waterfront history began in 1870 when a sternwheeler from San Diego named "The Vaquero" first entered Newport's coastal lagoon to exchange lumber for local commodities. For the remainder of the 1800s, the waterfront was industrialized with a wharf supporting trains and cargo ships. In 1899, the federal government funded the expansion of San Pedro's waterfront with what is now the Port of Los Angeles, obviating the need for industrial port activities in Newport Beach. Then in 1905, the Pacific Electric Railroad connected the City of Los Angeles to Newport Beach with its iconic "Red Cars," paving the way for Newport Beach's future growth as a highly desirable hub for tourism and recreation. Today, Newport Beach is home to over 80,000 residents who welcome 7 City of Newport Beach in 1947. Source; Irvine Company million visitors annually to its beaches and retail centers, and Newport Harbor is one of the largest harbors on the U.S. West Coast accommodating approximately 10,000 boats and supports sailing, fishing, rowing, paddleboarding, and more. NEED FOR MARINE/COASTAL ENGINEERING SUPPORT The City of Newport Beach depends on marine/coastal engineering support to maintain its waterfront environmental and structural systems, and to improve coastal sites by applying the latest industry methods in technology and nature -based solutions. Those of us who have lived and worked in marine environments know how rapidly beach topography can be shifted by periodic big waves, and marine structures can degrade due to salt water and the constant forces induced by the motion of water. If waterfront infrastructure is not properly maintained by the end of its design life, then it can become hazardous to the public and harmful to the surrounding coastal environment. The most recent instance was on July 4, 2020 when high tides and large waves combined to cause severe flooding in Newport Beach's Balboa Peninsula neighborhood. On -Call Marine/ Coastal Engineering Services DUDEK Sea 1:11 ,:r, Level Rise City-wide Coastal Engineering Features The land surrounding Newport Harbor in its natural state was poorly suited for development due to the shifting sandbars, shallow mudflats, big storm waves, and strong tidal flows. In 1-909, Newport Beach's shoreline was stabilized with its first wooden bulkhead segment, and since then the shoreline within Newport Harbor has been nearly fully stabilized with bulkheads that form the perimeter of the harbor and its various islands. Newport Beach's sandy beaches are maintained through a combination of engineered groin and jetty structures, as well as an ongoing sediment management program consisting of beach nourishment and berm development. All of these systems require planning, engineering, and permitting, and could benefit from modernization and the input of multiple professional perspectives. In additional to the human development, Newport Beach supports native plant and animal species such as eelgrass within the harbor and Marbled Godwits along the beach. Despite the extensive urban development, the City's limits include a wealth of natural resources including the Crystal Cove tide pools and Back Bay wetlands and bluffs.

COASTAL PLANNING With over 30 miles of bay and ocean waterfront stretching from the northern border at the Santa Ana River mouth to Crystal Cove State Park in the south, Newport Beach's coastal zone is incredibly rich in coastal resources such as beaches, bluffs, wetlands, and riparian areas. These areas can be enjoyed from trails, parks, waterfront shops, and visitor accommodations. Coastal planning provides a framework for preserving and enhancing environmental, societal, and economic benefits for both residents and visitors. The Newport Beach General Plan is a roadmap that guides land use decisions, shapes the community's physical form, and reflects the community's values. The Beaches, Bays, and Harbors Element establishes policies, strategies, and actions to manage water - dependent commercial and recreational activities, which establishes the foundation for future activities that may be conducted in and around the City. In addition to the General Plan, the City's certified Local Coastal Program (LCP) enables implementation of the California Coastal Act (CCA) in a way that is tailored to the local context. The City has the authority to issue coastal development permits (CDPs) for projects within itsjurisdiction that are consistent with relevant LCP land use designations, development standards, and resource protection policies. In this way, the General Plan and LCP are critical tools to retain the marine and coastal character and quality of life in the City because permitted projects must conform to the policies therein. For more than 15 years, Dudek's specialized coastal planning practice has analyzed coastal Dudek San Diego Shoreline Atlas Project Planning hazards and prepared permit, planning, and guidance documents to build resilience along the California shoreline. Our team includes former staff from agencies such as USACE and CCC, and therefore brings unmatched institutional knowledge which helps us to anticipate issues and facilitate dialogue to successfully resolve them.

ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITTING Dudek understands that the Scope of Work will require permitting support according to Sections 404 and 401 of the federal Clean Water Act and Rivers and Harbors Act in addition to coastal resource permitting, and that many consulting firms have staff who obtain standard permits from these resource agencies. However, we feel the key to success in permitting is having solid relationships with resource agency staff and a thorough knowledge of the ever -changing regulations, which only come with time and experience. The Dudek regulatory team includes seasoned regulatory specialists, each with an average of more than 15 years' experience preparing and processing permits with USACE (404 and 10 Individual and Nationwide), CDFW (1601, 1602, 1603, and 2081), Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) (401, 402), CCC, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Section 7, 4[d], and 10a consultations). Dudek's environmental permitting team is greatly aided by the strategic leadership of our in-house Regulatory Specialist who is a former USACE On -Call Marine/Coastal Engineering Services 11 DUDEK Regulatory Branch Chief. We have developed outstanding relationships with regional resource agency personnel and have cultivated a reputation for superior and comprehensive jurisdictional delineations, permit applications, mitigation plans, biological studies, and geographic information system (GIS) services. Our positive reputation and relationships will help to reduce any agency uncertainty concerning our technical studies and permit applications, resulting in a more expeditious permit process for the City. We see our role as one of support for the City through advocacy and skilled negotiations rooted in building coalition with the agencies and establishing a partnership with staff that invites participation, feedback, and engagement. The cornerstone of Dudek's environmental permitting approach is early and frequent coordination and communication with the resource agencies to expedite processing timelines and reduce conflicts. We understand the City has an existing Regional General Permit (RGP) 54 to authorize a multitude of activities, including, but not limited to, small-scale maintenance dredging; discharge of dredged material at adjacent beach sites (for beach nourishment); and small projects with minimal or no temporary impacts to eelgrass projects; and adopting the Eelgrass Plan as a part of the RGP 54 program. However, this permit is due to expire on December 21, 2025. A critical first step in our relationship with the City will be to schedule a meeting with City staff to better understand the successes and pitfalls of this permit to see where the program could be refined and/or improved to maximize efficiencies moving forward. The USACE Los Angeles District is severely underfunded and debilitatingly understaffed, resulting in significant permitting delays on local projects. This source of delay can be minimized by reviewing current tools and available funding programs to ensure a dedicated team of USACE permitting staff is available and able to prioritize not only the renewal of RGP 54, but future permitting projects under this on -call contract. We will coordinate with the City to review upcoming permitting workload demands to determine if there's sufficient need and demand to have the City engage in a Water Resources Development Act of 2000 (WRDA) agreement between the City and USACE. Section 214 of the WRDA allows USACE to accept funds from non-federal public entities, natural gas companies, and/or public -utility companies to provide priority review of their permit applications. This funding would be established in a Memorandum of Agreement between the City and USACE, the intent of which would be to streamline and expedite USACE environmental review under Section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 for City -designated priority projects. Relevant Scope of Work Tasks: ■ 4.

Dudek has prepared 30% design documents for four tidal reestablishment projects at Rose Creek/De Anza Cove, North Fiesta Island, Cudahy Creek, and Tecolote Creek salt marsh restoration projects, totaling over 200 acres of new tidal wetlands. In addition, we work with coastal engineers to address shoreline retreat and identified living shoreline solutions that beneficially combine structural shoreline protection with nature -based solutions that enhance ecological functions. Baseline studies included a methodical baywide eelgrass survey involving side -scan sonar and dives to ground -truth sonar imagery, baywide vegetation mapping, wildlife surveys, jurisdictional delineations, and extensive database processing of the results from this extensive area. Ultimately, the design efforts, baseline studies, assessments, and public engagement will inform the development and completions of a Program EIR. Further efforts related to programmatic permitting throughout Mission Bay are included in the extensive scope of work, which includes approvals from the City of San Diego, RWQCB, CCC, and USACE. As part of this program, Dudek managed the Mission Bay Oyster Feasibility Study. This goal of this study was to determine the feasibility of restoring native Olympia oysters (Ostrea lurida) in Mission Bay, San Diego, California for the purpose of shoreline resiliency and water quality improvements. Site visits were conducted to confirm the presence of Olympia oysters in the bay, and literature was reviewed to evaluate the conditions necessary for Olympia oyster survival and to confirm sources of larval input from nearby embayments. Water quality data was assessed to further confirm suitable conditions for Olympia oyster growth and survival. A pilot study was designed (including a proposed budget) to assess the success of two restoration methods that balance restoration constraints and ecosystem services provided based on local site conditions: (1) shell bags, which are susceptible to premature breakdown by heavy human activity and wave action, but reduce introduction of non -natural material and provide a greater area of oyster cover to increase water filtration; and (2) concrete reef balls, which introduce non -natural materials and collision risk in heavily trafficked areas, but are more resilient to heavy wave action and may be more effective at attenuating erosive wave energy. Recommendations for restoration locations and restoration approaches throughout the bay were based on goals/locations of known restoration plans and problematic conditions that would benefit from oyster restoration (i.e., poor water quality that would benefit from water filtration and erosive shorelines that would benefit from wave attenuation).
