DISCUSSION
At 2:00 P.M. on January 27, 2004 the City Clerk opened and read the following bids for
this project:
BIDDER
Low Banshee Construction Company
2 Pacific Hydrotech Corporation
3 Griffith Company
4 Pascal & Ludwig Constructors
TOTAL BID AMOUNT
$5,664,015.00
5,783,518.00
5,950,000.00
6,018,000.00
* Corrected Bid Amount is $5,995,000.00
The low total bid amount is 2 percent above the Engineer's Estimate of $5,540,000.00.
The low bidder, Banshee Construction Company, possesses a California General State
Contractors License Class "A" as required by the project specifications. In addition, their
sub - contractors assigned to complete the covering portion of the contract (roughly 2 million
dollars of the project) also have the required experience to complete the project.
A check of the Contractors references indicates they have satisfactorily completed road
and bridge projects for other municipalities and have done significant work with
Caltrans. They have limited experience in this particular type of water resource work,
but have assembled a team of well respected sub - contractors in this field to expand
their business in the industry. In their most recent water project very favorable
comments were received from the agency.
BACKGROUND
The Big Canyon Reservoir (BCR) is a 600 acre -foot (200 million - gallon) potable water
storage reservoir located in Corona del Mar. The full capacity of the reservoir provides
the City with 10 days of average water demand storage. If an emergency takes place
within the City, those 10 days could be extended by implementing water conservation
measures.
During the 1950's, the City's wells in Huntington Beach began to experience saltwater
intrusion. As a result, the BCR facility was constructed in the 1960's as a main delivery
point for the imported Metropolitan Water District supply and the City's wells were
subsequently abandoned when the BCR was put into service. An open water reservoir
was an acceptable facility in the 1960's; however, as water quality standards have
become more stringent over the years, the Department of Health Services (DOHS)
mandated the City cover its reservoir or abandon the facility. This mandate has been in
effect since 1994. At that time, the City was designing and constructing the
Groundwater Development Project and funding was already committed to this effort.
The City planned to comply with the mandate and cover the reservoir by setting aside
reserves to complete the multi - million dollar project. After four years of applications to
EPA, staff was successful last year in securing $867,300.00 in federal funding
assistance.

Per the contract specifications the Contractor will have 200 consecutive working days to
complete the work. The specifications also included a Council directed bonusipenalty
clause to provide an incentive to complete the project early ($3,000.00 per day).
Council received a detailed presentation of the work to be completed at their September
23, 2003 Study Session.
CONSULTANT SUPPORT SERVICES
For a project of this magnitude, outside construction support services will be required.
In addition, with the Council directed bonus /penalty clause included in the contract
documents, the construction activities will require more than full -time attention.to this
project to address the extensive requests for inspection from the contractor.
Four main firms will be involved in assisting the City to complete this project: Tetra
Tech, Inc. is the project design firm providing construction support for shop drawing
review, responding to request for clarification and record drawings; PBS &J will provide
project inspection and administration; Hilts Consulting Group will provide oversight for
the cover installation beginning with material manufacturing and fabrication oversight
along with part-time installation observation and advising, and URS will provide the
necessary geotechnical services.
Tetra Tech, formerly ASL Consulting Engineers, was hired in 1995 to design the floating
cover. In June 2002, the City Council approved an amendment to Tetra Tech's contract
to include the new disinfection facility which became integral to the cover design. Tetra
Tech's expertise will be required to review the multitude of shop drawings, requests for
clarification (RFC's), and requests for information (RFI's). On a project of this
magnitude we could be looking at a few hundred documents that require detailed review
and City approval. Tetra Tech will work in concert with our Utilities Department staff to
ensure the best quality products and components are being provided for this project.
They will also prepare the Record "As Built" drawings at the completion of the project.
The team of PBS &J and Hilts Consulting was used on the 2001 replacement of the El
Toro Water District's (ETWD) floating cover. The ETWD staff highly recommends these
experts who inspected their cover of roughly the identical size as the Big Canyon
Reservoir. The same inspection staff from PBS &J is available for this project, which will
be a full -time inspection assignment along with administrative support. By using this
same team, the City can draw on the ETWD experience and the lessons learned on that
project.
Doug Hilts has worked on several floating cover projects over his 20 -year career. Mr.
Hilts is considered the industry expert on floating covers who spent the first 10 years of
his career working for the Metropolitan Water District managing 3 major floating cover
projects. Mr. Hilts will oversee the manufacturing and fabrication of the cover material.
He will also be on site during the installation to insure proper construction.
URS performed the recent seismic evaluation of the Big Canyon Reservoir Dam and
assessed the bottom conditions for Tetra Tech during the cover design process. Their
construction support services will include oversight for the reservoir asphalt bottom

repairs and installation and overall testing services related to the structural elements of
the disinfection facility and new access roads.
Staff believes the consulting team of Tetra Tech, PBS &J, Hilts Consulting, and URS will
be key for the successful and timely completion of this critical project. Professional
Services Agreements for the four firms are attached for Council consideration.
Environmental Review:
A Negative Declaration in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) has been prepared and approved by the City Council on June 27, 1994. An
environmental document in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) was developed by EPA as part of the implementation of the grant program.
The NEPA document and associated Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) was
issued in December 2003.
Fundino Availabili
A Budget Amendment is required to complete this project. The FY 2003/04 CIP for the
covering project identified a contribution of $850,000.00 in federal funding. The final
approved EPA Grant Award is $867,000.00. An additional $1,962,587.00 needs to be
appropriated from the Un- Appropriated Water Enterprise Fund reserves. The City has
anticipated this expenditure and has set aside funds over the last several years to .
accomplish this project. Upon approval of the recommended Budget Amendments,
sufficient funds will be available in the following accounts for the project:
Account Description Account Number Amount
Big Canyon Reservoir Covering (Water Fund) 7503- C5500690 $5,818,018.00
Big Canyon Disinfection Improvements (Water Fund) 7503- C5500689 $688,085.00

Scope of Services
PBS&i's goal is to provide professional services that
create value for our clients through technical
excellence and innovation
DESCRIPTION OF FACHITIES
The facility for which this scope of work is intended is the Big Canyon Reservoir for
the City of Newport Beacb. The work required for the facility includes the addition of
a floating cover and side slope chafer, a sump and rainwater collection system, a
cement slurry bottom, repairs to the existing asphalt lining, a sub -drain system, four
new mixing pumps, disinfection facilities, an asphalt ramp, and various related
appurtenant improvements
SCOPE OF SER«CES
Based on our experience with similar projects, and our understanding of your needs,
the following scope of services describes the anticipated tasks and level of effort
anticipated for the construction phase of the Project The Scope is purposely described
in terms that allow you to decide upon the level of service you require from us. The is
fee proposal that accompanies the Scope is therefore presented in two three separate
options. Option 1 includes Construction Engineering only —tbat is, full time project
inspection and related tasks. Option 1B includes Construction Engineering and a
limited amount of Construction Management oversight, and does not include
submittal review, logging, or tracking, which would be done by either the designer, or
City staff. Option 2 includes Construction Engineering and full Construction
Management & Administration.
The extent of construction management services is based upon the following
construction phase schedule assumptions. It is assumed that the actual construction
will require nine (9) months (approximately 40 weeks) for completion. Based on our
experience on similar construction projects, we anticipate that there will be a two -
week mobilization and start-up phase involving submittal review and site work that
will require only limited on-site project observation. There will then be a 36 -week
period of major construction that will require increased project observation, followed
by 2 weeks that will require diminishing levels ofproject observation during the punch
list and start-up phase.
Field Inspection and Resident Engineering during Construction
(Construction Engineering)
Field Inspection and Resident Engineering services are those services typically
performed by a qualified Construction Field Representative or Resident Engineer,
with support from a qualified Construction Manager. Each of our Field

SUBJECT: PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE FIELD OBSERVATION AND TESTING SERVICES
BIG CANYON RESERVOIR FLOATING COVER AND
DISINFECTION FACILITIES PROJECT
NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA
Dear Mr. Sinacori:
URS Corporation (URS) is pleased to have this opportunity to propose construction observation
and materials testing services as part of the City of Newport Beach's quality assurance program
. for the subject project. Specifically, we propose to provide the following services on an as-
needed basis:
• Engineering services to assist the City with the review of the contractor's submittals
• Field technician(s) to observe subdrain construction observations and perform QA tests
on soils and asphalt
The following paragraphs describe our proposed scope of services in more detail.
ENGINEERING SERVICES
Over the past 4 years, URS' engineers have provided various services to the City relative to Big
Canyon Dam and Reservoir. Most recently, we designed a subdrain to control the groundwater
table under the existing porous asphalt lining while the cover construction work is proceeding in
the reservoir. The subdrain will be tied into the existing "East Underdrain" system at the
reservoir, and provide additional capacity to reduce pore water pressures under the lining during
future lowerings of the reservoir.
We propose to continue to make our principal engineer for the Big Canyon project, Ms. Jean Hill,
available to the City for as- needed construction -phase assistance in reviewing required contractor
submittals for the new subdrain, including, but not limited to, product data and material
certifications for conformance with the technical specifications, and the contractor's trench
excavation plan, possibly including an Excavation Safety Plan (possibly including shoring
design) for consistency with accepted safe practices.

Ms. Hill will also be responsible for scheduling technicians for construction -phase field
assignments as described in the following paragraphs, and preparation of a report at the end of
construction presenting our field observations and test results. Ms. Hill, a California - registered
civil engineer, will stamp and sign the construction report.
FIELD OBSERVATION AND TESTING SERVICES
Our proposed field observation and testing services includes the subdrain work designed by URS
as well as new pavement and base designed by others. Specifically, our field technician(s) will
provide the following services:
• Observation and documentation of the contractor's methods of trench excavation and
groundwater control including assistance to the City's survey crew in obtaining the as-
built line and grade of the trench invert, and verification of the minimum trench width.
• . Testing of the proposed pipe bedding and backfill and the trench backfill materials prior
to use in construction for conformance with the technical specifications.
Observation, testing and documentation of subdrain pipe- laying and backfill operations
for conformance with the technical specifications, particularly compaction requirements.
At least one field test will be made per material type per construction shift. We will
utilize the nuclear test gage for determining relative compaction, with daily quality
control checks using a sand cone apparatus.
Assistance to the City's survey crew in obtaining the as -built line and grade of the
subdrain pipe.
Observation, testing and documentation of the contractor's pavement construction for
conformance with the project specifications, including, but not limited to, testing of the
aggregate base gradation, measuring the asphalt temperature at placement, documenting
the base and pavement section thicknesses, and testing the in -place density of the asphalt
Asphalt density testing will be performed using the nuclear test gage.
TERMS
URS proposes to perform the above- described construction -phase services on the time -and-
materials basis under the City's standard professional services agreement. Although we have not
reviewed the terms of a specific agreement, we note that we have not taken significant exception
to the City's terms in the past.
Without knowledge of the contractor's schedule, it is difficult to estimate the office and field
effort that will be required to complete the scope of work proposed herein. The following table
presents our unit rates and recommended initial budget allowance. Our rate for the field
technician is based on prevailing wage rates for "Field Soils and Material Tester" per the
California Labor Code. We have assumed 8 -hour days for the field technician.
