Agenda packet, first session — Brisbane City Council, January 15, 2026 (part 2 of 2)

Task 1.1: Sampling and Analysis Plan
Anchor QEA will prepare a Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) for sample collection and analytical testing of sediments from Brisbane Marina and entrance channel. The SAP will be prepared in accordance with the following:
• Evaluation of Dredged Material Proposed for Discharge in Waters of the U.S. – Inland Testing Manual (ITM)
• PN 01-01: Guidelines for Implementing the Inland Testing Manual in the San Francisco Bay Region
The SAP will detail the sampling and analysis methods followed during field sample collection and laboratory analyses to determine sediment suitability for in-Bay disposal at SF-11. An electronic draft SAP will be submitted to the City for review. One round of review with minimal revisions is anticipated.

The final SAP will be distributed to DMMO agencies and the City. Prior to sampling, Anchor QEA will present the project and seek approval of the SAP by the DMMO at a DMMO meeting.

As part of Task 1.1, Anchor QEA will also develop a Health and Safety Plan that will provide background information, emergency phone numbers, the route to the nearest hospital, potential chemicals of concern, personal protective equipment requirements, key personnel responsibilities, and health and safety procedures.

Subtask 1.2: Sample Collection and Laboratory Analysis
Sediment cores will be collected at approximately 16 stations using a vibracore by Anchor QEA and our subcontractor Leviathan Environmental Services. It is anticipated that two cores will be required at each station to collect enough sediment for testing. Reference sediment would be collected from the SF-11 reference site by our subcontractor Brezina and Associates.

Individual core and Z-layer samples will be archived from each station. Depending on composite sample results, limited chemical analysis of individual core or Z-layer samples may be required by the DMMO. An individual core sample would only be analyzed if there is a need to refine the dredge unit based on elevated chemistry. A Z-layer sample would only be analyzed to characterize the newly exposed surface layer if the dredged material exhibited elevated chemical concentrations. Additional analysis of individual core and Z-layer samples is not included in this cost estimate.

In accordance with DMMO guidelines, four composite samples will be submitted for chemical analysis and biological testing to determine suitability for disposal at SF-11. Sediment chemistry will include total solids, total organic carbon, grain size, metals, organotins, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, organochlorine pesticides, and polychlorinated biphenyls. Based on recent sediment characterization studies, it is also anticipated that DMMO will request analysis of dioxin/furans because dioxin/furans have not been tested at this site before. This cost estimate also includes analysis of dioxin/furans. Biological testing for in-Bay disposal will include one water column and two 7 264

benthic toxicity tests. During the benthic toxicity testing, reference sediment will be tested concurrently with composite samples for comparative purposes.

Biological testing and chemical analysis would be performed by our subcontracted laboratories, Pacific EcoRisk, Inc., and Physis Environmental Laboratories, Inc., respectively. Anchor QEA will perform data validation to ensure laboratory analyses meet the project data quality objectives.

Subtask 1.3: Sampling and Analysis Report
Anchor QEA will produce a Sampling and Analysis Report (SAR) detailing results of testing, final sampling locations, any deviations from the SAP, and conclusions regarding the suitability of dredged material placement at SF-11. The SAR will be prepared in accordance with the ITM and PN-01-01 and DMMO guidelines. An electronic draft SAR will be submitted to the City for review.

One review round with minimal revisions is anticipated. The final SAR will be distributed to DMMO agencies and the City. Final concurrence on dredged material suitability will be requested at a DMMO meeting.

Assumptions
Assumptions for Task 2 are as follows:
• No new survey is required (March 2025 survey is acceptable to DMMO). • Based on the estimated volume of 225,000 cubic yards, sediment cores will be collected at approximately 16 stations within four dredge units. Changes to this volume may impact the number of dredge units, sampling locations, and costs.
• Anchor QEA will spend 4 days in the field collecting and processing sediment cores, plus mobilization and demobilization. DMMO requests for additional sampling locations or dredge units may affect the duration of field activities and costs. • Four composite samples will be submitted for physical, chemical, and biological testing. • One reference sample will be submitted for benthic toxicity testing. • Bioaccumulation testing will not be required. If bioaccumulation triggers are exceeded, additional testing and tissue analysis will be required resulting in additional costs. • The complete analyte list will be subject to DMMO approval. • Analysis of individual cores and Z-layer samples will not be required. • Anchor QEA will attend one DMMO meeting to discuss the SAP and one DMMO meeting to discuss the SAR.

Task 2: Preliminary Dredge Design Documents
Anchor QEA will prepare draft 60% dredge design documents, including drawings, technical specifications, an opinion of probable costs, and a bid form for the dredging work. The 2015 dredge episode design will be used as a basis of the design. Design development will include evaluating dredging production rates, construction timelines, and potential dredging phasing options. The 8 265

development of these documents will occur concurrently with the permitting and sediment investigation processes to the extent feasible.

The design drawings will depict site features necessary to inform a dredging contractor of existing site conditions, including site bathymetry; existing shorelines, docks, marine features, and structures; site mooring areas and access restrictions (if any); required dredge template (i.e., extents and limits of dredging); dredging side slopes; allowable overdepth limits; and typical cross sections. The CAD files that Anchor QEA developed for the previous dredging episode will be the initial starting point and reduce the time needed to create the dredge prism. If there has been a change to any infrastructure (new structures or demolitions), we will request the as-builts from the City.

The technical specifications will include detailed requirements for dredging and disposal of material at an in-Bay disposal location, in compliance with all permit conditions and environmental restrictions known at the time of preparation. Key input from the previous dredging episode specifications will be used to inform the technical specifications. If there are new engineering requirements by the City or updates to the City’s technical specifications packages, we ask that the City provide those as early in the design process as possible (within 2 weeks after the kick-off meeting). A bid form will be included in the technical specifications package, which will contain estimates of payable dredge quantities, potentially subdivided according to different dredging areas.

The design drawings and technical specifications will be prepared in a manner to be incorporated into a standard bid package provided by the City, which is anticipated to include the City’s Standard Agreement, Contract Terms (including bonding requirements, payment provisions, and insurance requirements), and General Conditions. We have assumed that contract documents, aside from our drawings and technical specifications, will be provided by the City, and the City will create the complete contract package, consistent with previous construction projects conducted by the City.

We will submit a draft (60%) set of design documents to the City for review and discussion, followed by a draft 90% set for City review, followed by a final (100%) set signed and stamped for bid solicitation (anticipated to be approved under a subsequent scope of work). We assume all deliverables will be submitted to the City in electronic format only.

August 11, 2025

Page 5 ends

• Sediment is anticipated to be disposed of at an in-Bay disposal location (SF-10 or SF-11) rather than at an upland landfill facility.
• The drawing package will be comprised of nine sheets, similar to the 2015 dredge drawings. • Anchor QEA will attend one site visit with the City, as well as up to two meetings (virtual or in person, as appropriate) with the City during the design process. • Any City-requested changes to the draft 90% design documents will be minor in nature, such as grammar correction or formatting. No material changes to the project will be incorporated beyond this phase.
• Bid solicitation and construction management is not included in this scope.

Schedule
We anticipate completing the sampling and 60% design documents within six months of notice to proceed. Permitting and final design (90%, 100%) should be initiated no later than upon approval of the Sampling and Analysis report to maintain schedule for construction in 2026. A separate scope of work and cost estimate for these tasks will be submitted.

Proposed Staff
With the exception of the laboratory analyses and sediment sample vessel collection, all work required to fulfill this scope of work will be completed by Anchor QEA staff, predominately located in our San Francisco, California, office. Dr. Joshua Burnam will be Anchor QEA’s Principal-in-Charge and overall project manager. He will be supported by Katie Chamberlin and Marine Vie, who will be our local point of contact and agency liaison for the regulatory permitting task, respectively; Chis Osuch, who will manage sediment characterization efforts; and Megan Collins, PE, and Amy Williams, PE, who will develop the engineering deliverables. Other Anchor QEA staff will provide oversight and guidance as required.

Estimated Costs
The total cost for completing Tasks 1 and 2 is $200,000, which is based on a time-and-materials, notto-exceed basis. Our current rates are included as Attachment 1.

Re: Scope of Work and Cost Proposal - Continuing
Brisbane Marina Maintenance Dredging Support, 2026 Episode Dear Mr. Bozorginia,
Anchor QEA is pleased to submit this continuing scope of work and cost proposal to support the City of Brisbane’s (City’s) upcoming maintenance dredging needs at Brisbane Marina. This scope of work combines current and prior requests into one document.

Please note that tasks 1-2 of the below in the amount of $224,000 were previously approved.

Proposed Scope of Work
Task 1: Sediment Characterization and Dredged Material Management Office Coordination
Based on the preliminary dredge volume estimate of 225,000 cubic yards, the marina and entrance channel will be divided into four dredge units for sampling and analysis activities. Consistent with the last dredging episode in 2015, proposed dredge material will be evaluated for in-Bay disposal at the Alcatraz Island (SF-11) disposal site. The following subtasks summarize the steps necessary to obtain a suitability determination from the DMMO.

December 17, 2025

Page 2 ends

SAP will be submitted to the City for review. One round of review with minimal revisions is anticipated.

The final SAP will be distributed to DMMO agencies and the City. Prior to sampling, Anchor QEA will present the project and seek approval of the SAP by the DMMO at a DMMO meeting.

Assumptions
Assumptions for Task 2 are as follows:
• Upland and shoreline topographic survey information, including location and geometry of adjacent structures, and the presence and location of utilities, is assumed to be the same as per the prior episode.
• The design depths will not exceed the original design depths alongside structures and guide piles at the site. We have therefore assumed it will not be necessary to analyze the stability of existing offshore and nearshore structures.
• Sediment is anticipated to be disposed of at an in-Bay disposal location (SF-10 or SF-11) rather than at an upland landfill facility.
• The drawing package will be comprised of nine sheets, similar to the 2015 dredge drawings. • Anchor QEA will attend one site visit with the City, as well as up to two meetings (virtual or in person, as appropriate) with the City during the design process. • Any City-requested changes to the draft 90% design documents will be minor in nature, such as grammar correction or formatting. No material changes to the project will be incorporated beyond this phase.
• Bid solicitation and construction management is not included in this scope. 20 277

Task 3: Permitting
Anchor QEA will prepare and submit the Dredged Material Management Office (DMMO) Consolidated Dredging Permit application to obtain permits covering the City’s proposed dredging work. The City’s prior permits have expired since the last episode, but we will make use of those materials to apply for renewed permits to the extent feasible.

The following permits will be obtained for the proposed dredging work:
• 10-year permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
• Endangered Species Act Section 7 concurrence letters from the National Marine Fisheries Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
• 10-year permit from the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission • Section 401 Water Quality Certification from the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board
• Notification only to the California State Lands Commission To obtain the required state and federal permits and approvals, Anchor QEA will prepare the following documents:
• Permit application forms
• A memorandum containing supplemental information that will be needed for permit issuance but cannot easily fit into the agency form templates
To streamline the project, the permitting process will be conducted parallel to the sediment characterization effort (in progress). Anchor QEA will prepare draft versions of these documents for review by the City. After addressing comments, we will prepare final versions of each document and submit them to the respective agencies for review and processing. After submitting applications, Anchor QEA will remain in close contact with the regulatory agencies issuing permits or approvals for the project. We will respond to agency comments, inquire regularly for status updates, and coordinate with agency points of contact as needed throughout the process of the issuance of permits. Anchor QEA will review all issued permits to determine if the permit conditions are feasible or if they prompt further discussions from the agencies.

Assumptions
Assumptions for Task 3 are as follows:
• All dredging is maintenance dredging, not new work.
• Dredging will occur within the established window of June 1 through November 30. • The project will qualify for the Small Dredger Programmatic Alternatives Analysis and will not require preparation of an Integrated Alternatives Analysis. • The DMMO application will be completed to state and federal standards. Anchor QEA will respond to agency comments on the DMMO application.
21 278

December 17, 2025

Page 6 ends

• Anchor QEA will coordinate and lead a virtual pre-application meeting. • Anchor QEA will develop draft and final versions of the application forms and supplement.

Anchor QEA will address one round of comments from the City on these documents. • Anchor QEA will attend up to two virtual meetings with the regulatory agencies, if required. • A California State Lands Commission dredging lease will not be required (confirmed during the previous 2015 dredging episode).
• No cultural resources memorandum will be provided for this effort; because the project is proposing maintenance dredging in an area that was previously dredged, there is no potential to encounter archeological and/or cultural resources.
• The Dredge Operations Plan for the 2026 dredging episode will be completed by the contractor, as specified in Task 3.
• The City will prepare a California Environmental Quality Act notice of exemption (similar to the previous 2015 dredging episode).
• Preparation of a biological assessment, biological surveys, and fieldwork is excluded from this scope of work.
• An Incidental Take Permit (ITP) from California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) will not be required because the project will not result in the “take” of state-listed special status species. By working within the established window, constraining the project to previously dredged areas, and minimizing the upland footprint of the project through using an established placement site, an ITP should be avoidable; however, if CDFW determines that the project requires an ITP, Anchor QEA would require additional funds to perform the additional work. • The City will provide proof of legal interest for the permit applications. • The City will be responsible for all permit fees.

Task 4: Dredge Design Documents – 90 and 100%
Anchor QEA will prepare draft 90%, and final 100% dredge design documents, including drawings, technical specifications, an opinion of probable costs, and a bid form for the dredging work. The 2015 dredge episode design will be used as a basis of the design. Design development will include evaluating dredging production rates, construction timelines, and potential dredging phasing options. The development of these documents will occur concurrently with the permitting and sediment investigation processes to the extent feasible.

December 17, 2025

Page 7 ends

We assume all deliverables will be submitted to the City in electronic format only.

Assumptions
Assumptions for Task 4 are as follows:
• Upland and shoreline topographic survey information, including location and geometry of adjacent structures, and the presence and location of utilities, is assumed to be the same as per the prior episode.
• The design depths will not exceed the original design depths alongside structures and guide piles at the site. We have therefore assumed it will not be necessary to analyze the stability of existing offshore and nearshore structures.
• Sediment is anticipated to be disposed of at an in-Bay disposal location (SF-10 or SF-11) rather than at an upland landfill facility.
• The drawing package will be comprised of nine sheets, similar to the 2015 dredge drawings. • Anchor QEA will attend one site visit with the City, as well as up to two meetings (virtual or in person, as appropriate) with the City during the design process. • Any City-requested changes to the draft 90% design documents will be minor in nature, such as grammar correction or formatting. No material changes to the project will be incorporated beyond this phase.
• Bid solicitation and construction management is not included in this scope.

Task 5: Additional Sediment Characterization Support
Anchor QEA is currently characterizing sediment from Brisbane Marina to determine suitability for inBay disposal at the Alcatraz Island (SF-11) disposal site and beneficial reuse at the Cullinan Ranch 23 280
I.

December 17, 2025

Page 8 ends

Restoration Project (CRRP) and Montezuma Wetland Restoration Projection (MWRP). Sediment sampling was conducted from November 10 to 12, 2025, and composite sediment samples were submitted for sediment chemistry, in-Bay biological testing, and modified elutriate test (MET) chemistry and bioassay testing.

Composite sediment chemistry results showed elevated concentrations of DDTs (above in-Bay bioaccumulation trigger and beneficial reuse criteria for cover and foundation), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs; above in-Bay bioaccumulation trigger and total maximum daily load [TMDL] limit), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs; above the beneficial reuse criteria for cover). Based on these results, additional testing is required for in-Bay disposal and beneficial reuse at MWRP as foundation material. To allow for additional management alternatives, additional testing will also be conducted to determine suitability for ocean disposal at the San Francisco Deep Ocean Disposal Site (SFDODS).

As part of this task, the following tests will be performed:
• Individual core chemistry for DDTS at one dredge unit (BM-DU4) • Z-layer composite chemistry for DDTs and PCBs at two dredge units (BM-DU1 and BM-DU4) • Deionized waste extraction test (DI-WET) at all dredge units for metals, pesticides, PAHs, and/or PCBs
• Bioaccumulation testing using two species (contracted directly with Pacific EcoRisk and not included as part of this scope of work)
• Bioaccumulation tissue chemistry for lipids, DDTs, and/or PCBs. This will include a composite of all replicates for each treatment.
• Suspended particulate phase testing using two species (contracted directly with Pacific EcoRisk and not included as part of this scope of work) Additional effort associated with this task includes coordination with the San Francisco Dredge Material Management Office (DMMO) and MWRP on the testing approach to obtain approval, data validation and management, data analysis, and reporting. Anchor QEA understands that the City has separately contracted with Pacific EcoRisk to handle laboratory services. Anchor QEA will coordinate with Pacific EcoRisk as needed.

Task 6: Project Management
This task includes an allowance for overall management of the project, including regular meetings, schedule updates, and invoicing for the project manager.

Future Tasks
This scope of work will be considered complete when our final (100%) design documents have been completed and submitted to the City. However, once the design plans have been prepared, 24 281

December 17, 2025

Page 9 ends

Anchor QEA can also support the City in bidding and construction management to guide the project per the technical specifications and regulatory permits. Successful construction projects are attributable, in part, to effective and thorough oversight and management of the contractor’s work, and Anchor QEA’s experience in this regard could be a valuable addition to this project. For example, we commonly participate in and lead pre-bid site visits, provide input to the bid review process, review contractor pre-construction submittals, participate (in person or by phone) in selected construction meetings, and review contractor progress and post-dredge survey pay requests. A separate scope of work and cost estimate for these tasks will be prepared once our current tasks are completed.

Estimated Costs
Table 1 shows the task-specific breakdown of costs for each task. All of our included fee assumptions are dependent on Anchor QEA performing all listed services. Rates will be the same as our current approved scope of work.

Maziar, Andrew – wanted to forward along an updated ROM construction cost estimate. This is based on our current view of the market, recent similar projects/bids we are aware of, and of course our knowledge of the last episode at the marina. As you can see from the table below, our rough estimate at this time is about $6.1-$6.3M for construction cost for all areas, with one area being optional as before.   We would have separate fees for construction oversight if you requested that of us (we did that last time). I wanted to provide this now so you can review and be informed.

If we allow dredgers to work outside the window by going to upland disposal sites, which we will present as an optional item to them, it’s possible some cost savings could be achieved, but we can’t specify that at this time. We are allowing for that option with our testing program. In case you are curious, the permits will be good for multiple years (5-10 depending on the permit) and the sediment results are usually good for 3 years.

Please let us know if you want to discuss this.

Thanks,
Josh

Council Subcommittee Update
From December 6th, 2025, to January 9th, 2026

1. Report Out on Subcommittees/Committees
A. Liaison to Park & Recreation Commission Subcommittee 12/8 Davis, Kern, P&R Chair T. Davis, P&R Vice-Chair Seawell
The liaisons discussed the commission’s goals for the year and reviewing City facilities. Two main concerns for the commissioners are the kitchen at Mission Blue and the Community Center building.

Councilmembers are aware and share the same sentiment; however, the council is waiting on potential impact fees to assist with these repairs. There is also a $900K projected deficit that the City needs to manage. Specific to the community center, some of the Redwood trees will need to be removed and the ADA requirements will need to be brought into compliance by adding an elevator. Public Works Director has potential alternatives that he is exploring. The Park and Recreation department has also created a Park & Rec foundation that will work in unison with the department and commission to develop a volunteer group and create a fundraising mechanism that could benefit these projects in the future.

Next steps #1:

Facilities Subcommittee is scheduled to review all city properties in Q2.

Next steps #2:

Park and Recreation Director Leek will compile the department’s project “dream list”.

The commissioners also talked about other projects they are exploring, including: adding elements along the Crocker Trail, trail adoption and ambassadors and a trash pick-up volunteer program; Age Friendly initiatives, such as benches and workshops; new fitness equipment at Sierra Point Parkway; Youth Volunteer of the Year honors; and frog habitat stewardship support. They also mentioned that the bicentennial walkway will have its 50th anniversary in July 2026, which also happens to be Park and Rec Month and would benefit from volunteer fundraising for repairs. Councilmembers Davis and Kern would like the Park & Rec Commission to think about what they envision in the Baylands and consider having a Volunteer Spotlight in the Brisbane Star showing before and after highlights of projects.

Additional step #3:

Park and Recreation Chair and Vice-Chair will be invited to future Sierra Point Parkway Parks & Open Space Subcommittee to hear about City owned property (Parcel R) in the Brisbane Marina that the City owns and would like to utilize for public space in some way.

B. Housing Subcommittee 12/15 Davis, Kern (Alt)
The Housing Endowment and Regional Trust (HEART) of San Mateo County discussed their response to the City’s Request for Proposal regarding ownership and management of Visitacion Senior Housing.

HEART was represented by Audrey Washington and Armando Sanchez. HEART originally was a lender, but they have now began specializing in renting out small developments (8–20-unit range). HEART would assume the debt and restructure the loan if needed. They project that it will be about 10 years when units will turn over and rent to debt ratio would equalize. They discussed how the waitlist would be managed, expectations of property management, and continued annual reporting to the City.

HEART will begin their due diligence regarding the property such as appraisal and repairs.

Next steps #1: HEART will send loan documents to staff for legal review in January.

Next steps #2: This is targeted to be brought to Council on February 5th.

Finance Director Yuen gave the subcommittee a progress update on the Business License Fee study by analyzing the current tax registry, conducting a fee analysis and comparative study and reviewing modified tax structure options. The study includes comparisons of similar type cities to Brisbane, polling of businesses and their input on ballot language, structure changes for certain industries, and considerations between smaller and larger businesses. The subcommittee wants the ballot language for the voters to speak to quality-of-life issues to inform ballot initiatives.

Finance Director Yuen and representatives from Matrix Consulting then reviewed the Master Fee Study Results with the subcommittee. The general purpose of the study was to document the direct and indirect costs associated with fee-based city services. The study would also identify services currently provided for which fees could be assessed and understand how services and fees compare within the region. The Study recommends/suggests updates to the Master Fee Schedule, for example: There were several areas that were determined that departments could charge more in relation to the cost of service; Although many of the current fees are reflected as much less than the cost to provide the service, some departments have elected not to charge enough to cover the full cost, primarily due to competitive pricing to neighboring jurisdictions; The proposed Master Fee Schedule has been reorganized for clarity and ease of reference; There were several fees that were higher than service cost or higher than regulation and needed to be reduced; The City should continue to use CPI for annual adjustment determinations.

Within the study, it also reflects the feedback from each department and whether they support the recommendation. The subcommittee asked for more narrative for each line increase and also recommended that an application fee for a marina slip and the actual certification/verification fee be separated instead of the current single fee. When this comes to council, there needs to be a large discussion around Park and Recreation fees. They support the idea of subsidizing childcare, seniors and pool activities, but not for facility rentals.
300
L.

It is recommended that if the fees are adopted, there is a phased in approach. Matrix Consulting also recommend reviewing the Master Fee Schedule every 5-7 years.

Next steps #1: Come back to the subcommittee with the suggested changes and updates completed and then go to council on February 5th.

https://www.brisbaneca.org/citycouncil/meeting/fiscal-policy-subcommittee-meeting D. Emergency Preparation Subcommittee 12/16 Davis, Kern The City received notice from CalOES that our Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) was expiring in December 2026. The County of San Mateo is taking the lead in coordinating a comprehensive LHMP for all San Mateo County cities. As a stakeholder, the City has assembled a planning team consisting of the City Manager’s Office, Public Works, Planning, Police, and Fire to participate in the County’s workshop.

The subcommittee discussed the outreach plan, especially those not on social media such as some older seniors, and work with current groups in town for feedback and information. The group brainstormed emergency refrigeration for medications, portable generators (Mission Blue equipped?) and continue to work with the City’s businesses for resources. Staff will continue to work on getting residents signed up for SMC Alert. It is recommended that when the annual EOC exercise is scheduled, that the office be closed so all staff participate.

Next steps #1: County workshop will be attended in February.

The subcommittee focused on updating the Park and Recreation Commission Chair and Vice-Chair on the progress and next steps for City owned property Parcel R at Sierra Point Parkway. They discussed the current status of the project, including community feedback, environmental considerations, and funding for a potential first phase at Parcel R. They emphasized the importance of collaboration to develop recommendations for a park that enhances open space and public amenities. The Park and Recreation Chair and Vice-Chair will work to create a solid proposal for the council to adopt.
