SUBJECT: NEWPORT COAST COMMUNITY CENTER PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Approve a Professional Services Agreement with Pacific Soils Engineering, Inc., and
authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute the Agreement.
2. Approve a Budget Amendment appropriating $45,720.00 from the unappropriated
balance Newport Coast Annexation Fund No. 298 to Account No. 7298- C5100705.
DISCUSSION:
On January 1, 2002, the long- awaited annexation of the Newport Coast community
became a reality, thus transferring approximately 7,800 acres and 5,600 planned dwelling
units from this unincorporated Orange County area into the City.
A pre- annexation Agreement with the residents of Newport Coast provides for the City to
investigate siting and constructing a community center within the annexation area.
Unfortunately, the master plan for Newport Coast does not envision nor include a site for
a community center, and appropriate locations for such a facility are limited.
The Agreement also sets aside $7 million of Irvine Ranch Water District transfer funds
into a "Building Account' to design, obtain permits for and construct the community
center. The community center would encompass approximately 22,000 sq. ft. of floor
area, including a gymnasium with bleachers, a branch library, meeting rooms, a kitchen,
restrooms, and ancillary support rooms.

One possible site for the community center is at the northeast comer of Newport Coast
Drive and San Joaquin Hills Road. This site lies over a portion of the closed Coyote
Canyon Landfill and upon portions of Newport Ridge Park (see attached site map).
To determine if the site is suitable for a community center, the City must obtain and
analyze geotechnical data from the site. Of particular concern is whether compressible
materials or gasses exist within the landfill under or near the proposed building, and if
they do exist, what effect they might have upon a public building and its occupants. Also,
if compressible materials or gasses are present, how they might be mitigated to allow for
the construction and use of a public building at the site.
Accordingly, a geotechnical report is needed for the site before any design work may
begin. If the report indicates that the site is suitable for a community center, Staff would
seek to develop a community center that satisfies the needs of the residents and the City.
If the site is not suitable, Staff and the residents would look for another site.
CONSULTANT SELECTION:
Staff solicited proposals from numerous firms to obtain and analyze geotechnical data
from the site. Six firms responded with proposals, and two of the firms appeared to be
better qualified to perform the work. From the two, Staff selected Pacific Soils
Engineering, Inc., a well- established Orange County firm that is not currently providing
other geotechnical services to the City. Staff also negotiated services and fees for the
site investigation (see attached Professional Services Agreement).
SCOPE OF SERVICES AND COMPENSATION:
Pacific Soils will provide records research, an aerial topographic survey, a soil boring
plan, coordination of approvals and clearances with regulatory agencies, conferences
with City Staff and regulatory agencies, soil borings, archaeological monitoring, laboratory
testing and analysis, and a geotechnical report with recommendations for the site.
Upon submittal of field data to the City for review, Pacific is required to consult with and
obtain City approval to continue on the remaining work. In the event the scope of
services the site is found to be unsuitable for constructing a community center, the
contract provides for Pacific to cease work and be compensated for the portion of work
that they have completed. Otherwise, Pacific's work will be completed within 45 working
days after their contract documents are approved by the City, and Pacific's compensation
will not exceed $45,720.00.
FUNDING:
Funds have not been budgeted for the community center and Staff recommends the City
Council approve a budget amendment to appropriate $45,720.00 from the Building Fund

Subject: REVISED PROPOSAL FOkGEOTECIiNICAL SERVICES
IN SATISFACTION OF RFP
Newport Coast Community Center Site Analysis,
City of Newport Beach, County of Orange, California
Gentlemen:
Pacific Soils Engineering, Inc. (PSE) is pleased to present this revised proposal and cost estimate
to provide a geotechnical investigation for the Newport Coast Community Center, in the City of
Newport Beach (City), California. This revised proposal is based on the original proposal dated
July 22, 2002 and recent discussions with you in regards to inserting "stop work" benchmarks
during the investigation. This would allow the City the ability to terminate the work to reduce
City exposure should it become clear that the site is not suitable for the proposed development.
In order to provide the City with a document that can be used as a reference for dcfining the
scope of work, PSE elected to present herein a copy of the older proposal with revised sections
referring to the "stop work" trigger points.
This firm's objective is to provide a comprehensive yet competitive proposal for the requested
services. This is best accomplished by understanding the services requested and the nature of the
project. To that end, this proposal includes aproject description, scope of geotechnical services,
a project management methodology and a cost summary. Presented herein is a detailed
description of the various tasks associated with the geotechnical investigation such as conducting
the background research, conducting the field investigation, coordinating with the involved
agencies and compiling a report for the project

A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Site Location and Description
The proposed location for the planned Newport Coast Community Center is at the
northwest corner of Newport Coast Drive and San Joaquin Hills Road, adjacent to
the Coyote Canyon Landfill within the northeast comer of Newport Ridge Park, in
the City of Newport Beach, California. This portion of the park is currently open
space with sidewalk, trees, bushes and grass. The landscaped portion of the park
Site itself is relatively flat with a 2:1 (horizontal:vertical) to 4:1 slope descending
to the landfill to the north. Based on the location sketch provided in the RFP
package, it is our understanding that the community center is to be located, at least
partially, within the existing slope, presumably on an addition to the slope or
using pile supports.
The park site itself is relatively level and would be accessible to a conventional
drill rig and CPT sounding rig with approved access to the park and access
through the existing fence. Exploratory drilling at the toe of slope may also be
necessary which would require access through the landfill and permission to
breach the existing fence near the toe of slope as well as "grading" to provide an
access roadway.
2. Proposed Construction
The proposed community center would be approximately 22,000 square feet in
size, and would include a full size gymnasium with bleachers, two meeting rooms,
a kitchen, a 5,000 square foot branch library, ancillary support rooms, restrooms
and surrounding site work. Based on the location sketch provided in the RFP
package, it is our understanding that the community center is to be located, at least
partially, within the existing slope. Therefore the structure may be a multi-level
structure with subterranean portions or a one- or two -story structure.
Alternatively, the building pad can be widened by adding some fill to the existing
slope, and to construct the access road shown on the sketch. The surrounding site

work is assumed to consist of landscaping and open -air ground -level parking.
Site access is shown from Newport Coast Drive, with the road descending down
to the base of the existing slope, and encroaching into what is now the landfill
property. This road then loops back toward the park site where it shows two
parking areas, located in the vicinity of the existing slope.
B. SCOPE OF PROPOSED GEOTECHNIC.AL SERVICES
PSE's investigation would be aimed at developing sufficient geotechnical data for
preparation of a preliminary written report to document our findings for the site. The
report would be suitable for use by you and your consultants in the design and
construction of the project and for submittal to the controlling authorities as the plans are
processed. The report would include design recommendations for that can be used by the
project team to design the proposed foundations, as well as adequate recommendations to
be used by the contractors to bid for the construction of the project. The scope of this
firm's geotechnical investigation of the site and associated office work is as follows:
➢ Preliminary Research— Obtain and analyze relevant existing geological and
geotechnical site records. This would require a visit to the Engineering Services
Department, of either the County of Orange or the City of Newport Beach, to search
for, and review the available records. Presently identified geotechnical concerns
include the possibility that the landfill extends under the proposed building footprint
and/or fill slopes that maybe constructed to increase the level pad area and access
roadway, It should be noted that PSE's proposed project manager supervised grading
of the existing slope and park.
➢ Development of a Boring Plan — Develop a Boring Plan, based partly on the
researched information, that will effectively analyze the existing site conditions from a
geotechnical point of view and determine the extent to which, if any, the Coyote
Can-von landfill footprint extends under the proposed site. Presently, it is proposed to
excavate, log and sample 2 to 3 hollow -stem borings to depths of approximately 50
feet and 8 to 12 CPT borings to varying depths. Soil samples would be collected for
laboratory testing. Laboratory testing would include testing for in -situ dry density and
moisture content, maximum dry density and optimum moisture content, consolidation
characteristics, shear strength, expansion potential and sulfate content. The Boring
Plan, however, is subject to change upon procurement of the information obtained
during the preliminary research phase discussed above. Once the boring plan is

finalized, it will be submitted for review and approval by the regulatory agencies.
PSE proposes that the findings be discussed prior to proceeding with the next step. if
the City decides that the site is too constrained, PSE will stop work and will bill the
City for charges incurred to date.
➢ Submittal of Boring Plan and Coordination With Regulatory Agencies — Submit
Boring Plan, including drilling methods and required remediation associated with the
borings to the City of Newport Beach and to the following agencies for review and
approval: California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Santa Ana Region
(Regional Board), the Orange County Integrated Waste Management Department
(IWMD), the Irvine Company (TIC), the South Coast Air Quality Management
District (SCAQMD), and the Local Enforcement Agency (LEA). If it is determined
that borings are necessary within the face of the slope, construction of a temporary
access road and drill pad would be required. Our discussions with the regulatory
agencies will include construction of the access road proper procedure for restoring or
repairing the excavations in such a manner that would protect the effectiveness of the
landfill cover. This may include, if necessary, special abandonment procedures for the
affected borings. If the possibility exists for encountering landfill materials, proper
collection and disposal of such materials may be necessary. Moreover, our
discussions will include the requirements of each of the regulatory agencies in regards
to the foundation systems that may be used to support the proposed structural
improvements and how their requirements might be incorporated in the final design of
the subject project.
PSE will work with regulatory agencies and the City to amend the plan based on
comments received so as to achieve an effective Boring Plan that can be approved. It
is estimated that approximately 5 meetings will be needed over the course of the
project, and that each meeting will last approximately 4 hours.
PSE suggests that representatives of the City attend the meetings with regulatory
agencies indicated above. This would allow for more interaction and allow the team
to more accurately ascertain site limitations and the requirements of each of these
agencies. At the completion of field meetings, PSE and the City will meet to discuss
findings to date and ascertain if the project should still go forward. If it is decided to
stop, PSE will terminate the project and bill the City for work completed to date, only.
If the decision is to investigate the site further, then the next step is to obtain the
permits and proceed with the field investigation.
➢ Obtain Appropriate Permits —Obtain appropriate permits to implement Boring
Plan. It is our understanding that the City will be responsible for paying for permit
fees directly.
➢ Provide a Site Survey —A site survey (topographic survey) would be prepared by
Psomas, a local consulting engineering firm. This survey would include securing new

black and white aerial photographs of the site at 1" = 240' scale. These photos would
be utilized to prepare a 1" = 40' topographic map with 1 -foot contours and spot
elevations of the subject area (Psomas qualifications are attached).
➢ Implementation of Plan — Prior to commencement of exploratory drilling, PSE
would field mark the proposed boring locations, notify Underground Service Alert and
meet with park personnel in an attempt to avoid damage to existing underground
utility lines. In addition, PSE will mobilize a dozer to build an access road. PSE will
then conduct the geotechnical exploration and obtain soil samples for laboratory
testing and analysis.
➢ Provide Archaeological Observation — As required by the Caltrans' Environmental
Handbook, LSA Associates, Inc. would provide archaeological testing and data
recovery for the hollow -stem portion of our Boring Plan, or as necessary (LSA
Associates, Inc., qualifications attached).
At the completion of the field investigation and prior to commencing laboratory
testing, PSE will discuss the findings of the field investigation and to detennine if
there were any unusual findings that would render the site unacceptable for the
proposed development. If it is determined that the site is not acceptable, PSE will
terminate the work at City request and we will charge for work completed to date. If
the findings are not negative, then PSE will proceed with the remainder of the
investigation.
➢ Laboratory Testing of Samples — Once it is determined that the investigation can
proceed forward, PSE will proceed with testing of selected soils samples to determine
pertinent geotechnical parameters that might be used in the design of foundations.
➢ Analyze Results and Prepare Report — Analyze results of the exploration Plan and
prepare a written report of findings. This report would document findings from the
preliminary research, field exploration and laboratory testing. Geotechnical
recommendations regarding project feasibility /site suitability would be discussed and
preliminary construction/foundation recommendations would be provided. The site
topographic survey would also be included as part of this package. PSE would
prepare and submit 10 copies of a preliminary geotechnical report which would be
suitable for use by you and your consultants in the design and construction of the
project.
➢ Confer with City of Newport Beach and Related Agencies — PSE would keep the
city continually informed of project proceedings as well as confer with interested
agency staff, as necessary, to effectively and efficiently complete the above services.

It is our understanding that the City will provide drawings of the proposed community center
footprint, the landfill footprint, and related GIS information and encroachment permits for
geotechnical exploration. Further, the City is to pay for the permit fees required by other
agencies.
It is also our understanding that the City will schedule and participate in meetings with the
Geotechnicai Consultant and interested agencies as needed.
C. PROJECT SCHEDULE
Upon authorization to proceed with this investigation PSE would conduct the
investigation as follows:
Phase 1— PSE would begin its study approximately 3 days after receiving notice to
proceed. PSE would begin by contacting the various regulatory agencies to notify them
of our intentions and to obtain information and permits necessary to the project. This
would be followed by research of the site, development and submittal of the Boring Plan,
negotiations regarding the Boring Plan, and obtaining all necessary permits and site
clearances. We anticipate this phase of work would take approximately 3 weeks.
Phase 2 — Following completion of Phase 1, PSE would commence with the field study
which would last approximately five days. This includes construction of temporary
access roads, if necessary.
Phase 3 — Following completion of field work, an allowance of three weeks for laboratory
testing and three weeks for engineering analysis and report preparation should be made.
Therefore, it is anticipated that a report will be available within six weeks of completing
the fieldwork_

F. ADDITIONAL TASKS OR COST SAVING MEASURES
In addition to the hollow -stem borings proposed for the subject site, which will allow
visual soil identification and sample collection, the proposed drilling program calls for
two days of Cone Penetrometer Test (CPT) drilling. This drill method is designed to
obtain large amounts of engineering data with a small amount of disturbance to the site.
PSE feels this method will be especially advantageous with regard to exploration of a site
adjacent to a landfill. This method does not produce drill cuttings and no soil samples are
taken, therby reducing the risk of bringing potentially environmentally hazardous
substances (landfill waste) to the surface.
