Subject: Proposal to Provide as- needed Professional Consulting and
Engineering Services to support the Public Works
Department of the City of Newport Beach
Dear Mr. Stein,
RMS Engineering & Design is pleased to submit this proposal to provide structural and
architectural engineering services for City of Newport Beach Public Works Department.
Our main expertise is in structural engineering related to water and wastewater projects,
building renovation, seismic retrofit, and concrete repair. To complement our work in
structural engineering we additionally provide architectural engineering.
Currently, our firm is extensively involved in work related to water and wastewater
facilities and public works projects. Recently, we designed concrete repairs for Orange
County Sanitation District's older digesters and we have been providing structural
inspections and assistance during construction. Currently, we are retained by Orange
County Sanitation District to design the repair of the deteriorated concrete and
replacement of corroded sluice gates of their primary clarifier diversion boxes.
We have conducted structural inspections of many reservoirs and water filtration plants
(some requiring Confined Space Entry). We have performed seismic evaluation of many
buried and above ground water reservoirs and tanks for several municipalities and water
districts.

were joined together by lap splicing and epoxy doweling roughly
5,200 L- shaped reinforcing steel anchors. Vertical and horizontal
reinforcing steel in the new wall and its anchorage to the existing
created a composite stiff wall. The existing wall was tied back to
the opposite side, using aircraft high - strength cables. Horizontal
double channels were used to spread the anchorage point loads
uniformly to the wall. The project included evaluation of necessary
modifications to the tank to install UV system and cranes for
lifting the UV light tube packages.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Public Works Department
Robert Stein, P.E.
949 - 644 -3322 or rstein @city.newport- beach.ca.us
SUBJECT: Approval of an On -Call Professional Services Agreement with RMS
Engineering & Design, Inc., for Structural Engineering Services
Recommendation:
Approve an On -Call Professional Services Agreement with RMS Engineering & Design,
Inc., (RMS) for structural engineering services and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk
to execute the Agreement.
Discussion:
Occasionally, the City is confronted with problems that require the immediate services
of a structural engineer. Examples include redesigning a column foundation when
excavation reveals an unsupported footing, calculating the effects on a streetlight pole
foundation based on the wind loading from a proposed banner, proposing a structural
repair for cracks discovered in a bulkhead, and analyzing the safety factor for a
retaining wall foundation that was not constructed exactly per plan. There also may be
occasions when the design for a small structural project is required.
On -Call Professional Services Agreements (PSA's) were developed to avoid a large
volume of small but time - consuming agreements between the City and consultants to
accomplish on -going project tasks for implementation of the Capital Improvement
Program (CIP). The proposed Fiscal Year 2008109 CIP budget is estimated at about
$68 million and includes over 92 projects. Several of the projects are building or
remodeling City owned facilities. The need for structural engineering services will be
required for the success of the projects.
RMS has successfully responded to several urgent problems posed by the City
including providing consulting services for the Balboa Village Project Flight Monument,
Wayfinder's Signage Program light pole foundation analysis, Lifeguard Headquarters
seismic evaluation, China Cove sheet pile analysis, and Newport Theatre Arts Center
beam analysis. Staff recommends approval of this on -call agreement.

Subject: Proposal to Provide as- needed Professional Consulting and
Engineering Services to support the Public Works
Department of the City of Newport Beach
Dear Mr. Stein,
RMS Engineering & Design is pleased to submit this proposal to provide structural and
architectural engineering services for City of Newport Beach Public Works Department.
Our main expertise is in structural engineering related to water and wastewater projects,
building renovation, seismic retrofit, and concrete repair. To complement our work in
structural engineering we additionally provide architectural engineering.
Currently, our firm is extensively involved in work related to water and wastewater
facilities and public works projects. Recently, we designed concrete repairs for Orange
County Sanitation District's older digesters and we have been providing structural
inspections and assistance during construction. Currently, we are retained by Orange
County Sanitation District to design the repair of the deteriorated concrete and
replacement of corroded sluice gates of their primary clarifier diversion boxes.
We have conducted structural inspections of many reservoirs and water filtration plants
(some requiring Confined Space Entry). We have performed seismic evaluation of many
buried and above ground water reservoirs and tanks for several municipalities and water
districts.
