The City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) in February 2025 for on-call marine/coastal engineering services including design and permitting of various pier, dock and bulkhead projects; permitting programs; s ediment sampling and analysis plans for dredging and sand management; biological and toxicity sampling and testing; preparation of record drawings; various survey work; project management assistance; and more. The RFP was advertised on the City’s PlanetBids portal, and staff also informed existing coastal engineering consultants of the RFP’s availability.
The City’s existing on-call coastal engineering contracts were for three years and have already been amended for additional capacity and time. With the current on -call coastal engineering contracts expiring soon , staff recommends new, 5-year c ontracts with Anchor QEA, Inc., Dudek, and Moffatt & Nichol with a not-to-exceed capacity of $500,000 for each.
The City received five responses to the RFP, and the following four firms earned at least 70% for the Technical Score:
Firm Name
Total Score
(out of 300) Rank
Moffatt & Nichol 286 1
Anchor QEA, Inc. 283 2
Dudek 263 3
KPFF, Inc. 251 4
The City’s proposal review team consisted of three staff members from the Public Works Department, and each member evaluated the proposals independently. In accordance with state law, evaluations were based and ranked in accordance with each proposal’s demonstration of the firm’s qualifications and experience including the ability to self-perform the work, a demonstrated understanding of the City’s needs, the ability to deploy appropriate resources, and the ability to complete both small and larger scale projects. Evaluations also reviewed the firms’ recent experience and project references in conducting work for public agencies of similar scope and complexity. Following the technical evaluation of all propo sals, the evaluation panel ranked each proposal and, in accordance with the procedure for the selection of professional services, unsealed the fee schedules from the three highest ranked proposers.
The fee schedules from Anchor QEA, Inc., Dudek, and Moffatt & Nichol were reviewed and confirmed to be reasonable and feasible after negotiation. Service costs provided on an hourly basis are competitive, favorable to the City, and consistent with other engineering services within the industry.

With the completion of the proposal reviews, staff is requesting approval of three separate on-call professional services agreements with Anchor QEA , Inc. , Dudek , and Moffatt & Nichol for marine / coastal engineering and harbor -related services at a not-to-exceed amount of $500,000 per agreement. The term for each of these agreements is five years and would expire on April 14, 2030.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The adopted budget includes sufficient funding for these on -call services. Individual projects will be expensed to the appropriate Public Works Department Operations and Maintenance and/or Capital Improvement Program project accounts in current and future year budgets.

METHOD OF APPROACH/PROJECT APPROACH
The Anchor QEA team can provide all services requested in the RFP scope of services, as summarized below.
Understanding of the City and Services Requested
The City Council and Harbor Commission objectives have a vision for restoring control of the harbor to City staff and reestablishing the harbor to its original authorized depths. This means allowing City staff to:
• Manage harbor needs (e.g., dredging, dock and seawall repairs, and eelgrass management) at the local level instead of through lengthy and expensive permitting processes managed by regulatory agencies; and • Restore the navigable depths authorized by USACE, including managing unsuitable material not available for ocean disposal
Anchor QEA staff routinely attend City Council, Harbor Commission, and Staff Working Group meetings, both as ' attendees and participants, which we feel is crucial for staying abreast of the City's needs and goals. With the RGP 54 and the anticipated Lower Newport Bay Federal Channel Dredging project in the upcoming months, Anchor QEA has consistently supported the City in restoring control of the harbor to City staff and reestablishing the harbor to its original authorized depths.
A History of Partnering with the City
Since 2003, Anchor QEA has supported Harbor Resources and Public Works staff in realizing their short- and long-term goals. We have provided services such as sediment management planning, sediment remediation, engineering design, bid support, construction management, and permitting. We consistently demonstrate our philosophy of working as a partner with the City by providing the scientific and technical support needed to address emerging regulatory challenges.
Because we support the City through multiple departments and have worked directly with staff at all levels, including current and former City Council members and Harbor Commissioners, we understand all of the steps involved in executing a project from concept to construction and how the various City departments support that process at each step along the way. Assuming the role as an extension of the City allows us to support with minimal direction and oversight, further conserving valuable City resources, as evidenced by our work on RGP 54 and the Lower Newport Bay Federal Channel Dredging projects.
Experience and Qualifications to Perform Scope of Services Anchor QEA specializes in aquatic, shoreline, and water resource projects. We have extensive engineering design and environmental support experience and have assisted cities, counties, and ports with harbor maintenance, capital projects, and marine infrastructure.
We understand current harbor and marina issues and actively contribute to the industry by serving on the board of directors of the Marina Recreation Association, American Society of Civil Engineers Ports and Harbors Group, Western Dredging Association, and California Marine Affairs and Navigation Conference. Our staff are leaders in the field of dredging and dredge material management both nationally and regionally. Anchor QEA developed the two primary sediment management guidance documents that are used for all Southern California dredging programs: CSTF LTMS and the USA CE Los Angeles DMMP. We are also leading the development of the Harbor Toxics TMDL program for the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles that will be used as the model for implementing all other regional TMDLs. 4 -;..ANCHOR

6edirrnen~ andWat~r Quality lnvestigations=tscope Items 3, 6, 7, 8) • ' • • •• , • • Anchor QEA has led more sediment and water quality investigations within Newport Harbor than any other firm. Our support started in 2003 with the Rhine Channel Remedial Investigation where we worked with Orange County Coastkeeper to collect and analyze sediments to develop a remediation strategy. As part of the Rhine Channel Sediment Cleanup in 2011, Anchor QEA led confirmatory sediment sampling and water quality monitoring during construction, as well as post-construction sediment sampling in accordance with Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) requirements. Water quality monitoring included two special studies to characterize suspended • sediment plumes in the channel and examine the potential for toxic effects. Based on the results of these studies and close coordination with the RWQCB, it was determined that turbidity concentrations were not high enough to cause significant impacts to the aquatic environment, which allowed construction to continue without delay . .
In 2012, shortly after completing the Rhine Channel Sediment Cleanup, Anchor QEA started work on the Lower Newport Bay Federal Channel Dredging project with the City and USACE. This work included regular water quality and sediment monitoring during construction, as well as a special study to develop a transmissivity threshold for the protection of sensitive resources (i.e., eelgrass beds). During construction and management of the work, we had staff in Newport Harbor almost daily for more than 2 years.
From 2017 to.2019, Anchor QEA led the pre-dredge sediment characterization for the next round of dredging within the Federal Channels. Over 1 million cubic yards of sediment was evaluated for ocean disposal or beach nourishment in accordance with regional and federal guidance following the DMMT process. Extensive agency negotiations were completed as part of the Federal Channel sampling that resulted in a higher threshold that allowed more dredged material to be taken to the open ocean disposal site. This was precedent setting and will ultimately result in significant cost savings to the City during construction. Following the completion of the characterization, Anchor QEA developed a Sediment Management Plan for management of clean and contaminated sediment from the Federal Channels, conducted multiple Tier I evaluations to exterid the sediment suitability determination, and supported the City with the USACE's characterization of Federal Channel sediments in 2024, including peer review of Sampling and Analysis Plans (SAPs) and Sampling and Analysis Reports (SARs).
From 2013 to 2023, Anchor QEA led three bay-wide sediment investigations to renew the sediment suitability determination for RGP 54. Anchor QEA-is currently characterizing sediment from Balboa Yacht Basin for beneficial reuse at the Port of Long Beach's Pier G Fill Site. Separate from these City projects, Anchor QEA has provided almost constant field sampling and analyses support to several private marinas anq residences within Newport Harbor. In addition to our expe_rience in Newport Harbor, Anchor QEA has performed similar services for other cities in Southern California, including Long Beach, Huntington Beach, and Port Hueneme, since 2001.
All this work required development of SAPs and SARs, and constant meetings and interaction with the DMMT and/or individual agencies. Testing has included physical and chemical analyses of sediment, tissue, and/or elutriate; geotechnical testing; and/or biological testing. In addition, Caulerpa and eelgrass surveys were required for much of the work.

Our team has experience permitting and designing these structures to meet all regulatory requirements, including Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements for public access. Our bulkhead, seawall, and revetment experience includes cantilever and gravity walls; tie*back systems using earth anchors, traditional tie rods and dead man anchorage systems, and pile bracing systems; concrete, steel, and vinyl sheetpile systems; timber bulkheads; and rock revetments.
For various bathymetric surveys within docks, marinas, small confined channels, and larger main channels, we propose to use Woolpert, a surveying and bathymetric survey company specializing in bathymetric surveys in and around marinas and large bodies of water.
Anchor QEA staff have worked on numerous waterfront structures and facilities in Newport Harbor, both as an , extension of the City as well as for commercial and residential property owners and developers. This work includes new seawall installation; existing seawa!I repair or rehabilitation; marina rebuilds, repairs, and improvements; dock, access piers, and gangway replacements; and landside infrastructure and facility improvements. Several projects have included dredging and eelgrass mitigation measures.
Randy Mason participated in the development of a comprehensive 2010 sea level rise report for the City that evaluated seawall conditions and stability and investigated historic seawall overtopping and flooding from storm events, high tides, and anticipated impacts from future predicted sea level rise. Subsequently in 2011, Anchor QEA staff began working on designs to rehabilitate Balboa Island seawalls that involved development and evaluation of multiple options to replace and raise the seawalls. In addition to engineering design, this work included supporting the City's community outreach efforts and making presentations to City officials and other stakeholders.
In 2016 and 2017, Anchor QEA provided temporary design support for the Grand Canal seawalls through placement of large quantities of sand along each seawall. Most recently, Anchor QEA supported the City by preparing a Flood Risk Assessment and Bulkhead Structural Integrity Study involving surveys of approximately 20 miles of in-place public and private property bulkheads, seawalls, and other waterfront slope protection structures around Newport Harbor to support a City reporting requirement for FEMA.
Anchor QEA has led the design, permitting, and construction of more dredging projects in Newport Beach than any other firm in the region. Projects include Rhine Channel Sediment Cleanup, American Legion Dredging, Balboa Marina Redevelopment, Newport Marina Dredging, and Lido Island Dredging. Construction management was also performed for many of these projects.
Anchor QEA also manages all aspects and implementation of RGP 54. This includes processing all applications, agency notifications, and reporting. Most recently, we obtained approval for amendments to the RGP 54 in Fa11 2024. The reauthorization extended the sediment suitability from summer 2023 and provided continuity to allow the City and its residents to conduct maintenance dredging for projects authorized prior to and following the most recent sediment suitability. Additionally, we have completed more than 50 small beach dredging designs under RGP 54. Our role on these projects has been to lead all tasks and operate as the primary point of contact for the City or residents. • "f_ANCHOR
'I- QEA ::Z::.:: City of Newport Beach On-Call Marine/Coastal Engineering Services ! 10 9-30
Anchor QEA is a regional leader in permitting and CEQA support for marine construction projects. We have completed numerous initial studies, Mitigated Negative Declarations (MNDs), and full E!Rs for similar projects. Within Newport Beach, we completed an MND for the Rhine Channel Sediment Cleanup and for several private residences and marinas. Most recently, we delivered a Certified E!R for the Federal Channel Dredging project and Lower Newport Bay CAD Construction project. This included extensive public outreach, public and agency input, and numerous public meetings with active and involved community members. The EIR was certified in May 2021 and immediately segued into the regulatory agency permitting, which was completed with all permits in hand in fall 2022.
Outside of Newport Harbor, we also completed several other CEQA documents, including MNDs and E!Rs for marine engineering work at the Port of Hueneme; University of California, San Diego; and Port of Long Beach.
Over the past 20 years, we have gained tremendous experience and exposure presenting to the City Council, Harbor Commission, and other smaller committees, such as Tidelands and Water Quality, on issues related to sediment management, Rhine Channel sediment remediation, and eelgrass management. Many of these projects, such as the reauthorization of RGP 54, included extensive public outreach to gather ideas for improving the permit conditions to gain favor with local businesses.
Developing a trusting relationship with the regulatory agencies starts with open communication and consistent compliance with permit conditions. Anchor QEA has been providing this support to the City for manyyears originally as part of the Rhine Channel Sediment Cleanup and then later for other key projects such as Marina Park and the Lower Newport Bay dredging effort. In many of these efforts, our role has evolved from a support function to one where we are acting as an extension of City staff, helping to run the program as the City would internally.
The service is best demonstrated as part of our project management and implementation of RGP 54 where we manage a!I aspects of the program from agency interactions to meeting with permit applicants. There are many conditions required for this effort, and maintaining compliance with these requirements is an exhaustive task.
Through our efforts and close coordination, the regulatory agencies have been more flexible with the City for the RGP 54 program-including less reporting-and are open to additional actions under the permit.
As part of RGP 54 permitting, Anchor QEA led the agency negotiations and final push to obtain approval of the City's Eelgrass Management Plan. Implementation of the plan requires extensive management and oversight and public outreach and education, in addition to exploring continuous ways to improve eelgrass planting techniques. A key to this success has been our relationship with Orange County Coastkeeper, which has been integrally involved in the eelgrass plan's success. Anchor QEA co-led a public presentation with the City and Coastkeeper on the history of eelgrass in Newport Harbor and how the eelgrass plan complements programs like RGP 54. In addition, we meet often with Coastkeeper to explore opportunities for new eelgrass mitigation techniques and outreach. Included in our team is MTS, which led the harbor-wide surveys in 2018, 2020, 2022, and most recently in summer 2024 and has been a key member of the team in meeting compliance with the City's Eelgrass Management Plan. In support of the plan, annual reports are prepared in compliance with the terms and conditions of the permits. The most recent 2024 annual report included an assessment of areas dredged under RGP 54 with a comparative analysis on regrowth between the 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2024 surveys. The results demonstrated that in most areas eelgrass has recovered within 2 years, which was the underlying assumption for the agencies to approve the plan. • 'f_ANCHOR

Newport Beach
CITY WATERFRONT HISTORY
Throughout human hlstOI')', vibrant urban waterfronts
havo functioned at the center point of societal
commerce, recreation. and culture. Newport Beach·s
modern waterfront hislOty began In 1870 When a
sternwheeler from San Diego named "The Vaquero~ first
entered Newport"s coastal lagoon to exchange lumber
for locaJ commodities . F01 the ,ema inder of the 1800s, th~ waterfro nt was industtlalized with a wharf
supportrng trains and cargo s.hips. In 1899. lhe federal government funded the expansion of San Pedro's
waterfront with what is now the Pott of Los Angeles.
obviating the need for tndusuial port actMties in
Newport Seaeh. Then in 1905, the Pacific Electtic
Railroad connected the City of Los Ang~l8$ to Newport
Beach with its iconic ·Red Cars,· paving the way for
Newport eeacn·s future growth as a highly desi,able
hub for tourism and rec,eation. Today, Newport Beach
is home to oYer 80,000 tesidents who welcome 7
mlmon visitors annually to Its beaches and rotaJI

NEED FOR MARINE/COASTAL ENGINEERING SUPPORT
Th& City of Newport Beach depends on matino/ooastal en,gineering support to maintain Its watmfront environmental and structural S~'Stems.. and to Improve coastal sites by applying the 1atest industry methoeiS in technology and nature-based solutions. Those of us who have 11\ted and worked in marine environments know how rapidly beach topography can be shlfted by periOdtC big waves, and marine structures can degrade due to salt water and the COMtant fof'08S induced by the motion of watet. If waterlront infrasllucture is not property maintained by the end of Its design life, then it can become hauirdous to the publlc and harmful to the svrroundlng coastal environment. The m05t recent Instance was on July 4, 2020 when hig1l tides and large wch--es combined to cause severe flooding in Newport Beach's Balboa Peninsula nelghbOr'hood, 1 9-48

COASTAL ENGINEERING
Coastal engineering Is a spccla1i2ed civiVenvironmental enginee,fng bran<:h focu:Sing on the dynamic physical P(ocesses t.Mt ooc:ur in coastal waters and along the water•IMd interface. Effecti\<e ooastal engineering depends upon a fundamental understanding of water• wa\'e mechanics, Oukl dynamics:. stldiment transport, ooean chemistty, and more. Coastal engineerfng expertise is required to desfgn shorellnes and coastal sttuctures that can withstand the unique and oomplex forces eooountered In coastal settings. Coastal engineering expertise ranges in brtadth from gJobal·scale oceanography to site-specific tidal exchange CharacteriStics in coastal rivers. Each coastal project site ls unique with design parameters that often interact and ampl!ty in complex ways.
COASTAL ENGI NEERING
• Ftuid dynamics
• Water wave mechanics
• Cu1ren1 and wave forces
• Vessel wake analysis
• Beach noutishmenl
• sea Jovel rise
• King tides
especially with sea IEh'BI rise factored in. TherefOfe, a combtnation of local knOWiedge and technical proficiency is valuable for l)(operly assessing the forces in play at ooasuil sites.
Coastal engineerf"g plays a key mle on projects in Newport Beach, considering the Cttys boundaty lnclud~s many miles of sandy beaches, harbor btl1khead de\lelopment. Back Bay bluffs and wetlands, and various other shoreline types. Newport 8caeh is exposed to a tllnge of ooastal hazards, lncludlng erosion ands.ea level rise, which add to the frequent routine maintenance required for saltwater-inte.tf~cing structures.

City Council Staff Report
COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
CITY OF
April 15, 2025
Agenda Item No. 10
ABSTRACT:
Staff recommends the City of Newport Beach enter into a professional services agreement with Carpi & Clay, Inc. of Washington, D.C. for federal advocacy services. The firm was selected after a detailed Request for Proposals (RFP) process. The recommended a greement is for an initial one-year term, with two , optional one -year extensions, for a total not-to-exceed cost of $343,800.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15 060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly; and
b) Approve the Professional Services Agreement with Carpi & Clay, Inc. of Washington, D.C., for federal advocacy services for an initial one-year term, ending April 15, 2026, with two, optional one-year extensions and a total not-to-exceed amount of $343,800, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the agreement.
DISCUSSION:
Background
The City engages federal advocacy consultants to advance its legislative priorities and drive federal action on issues that benefit the community. In recent years, the City has hired lobbyists to support its ocean and harbor dredging initiatives, as well as to sec ure funding through the Army Corps of Engineers for the current federal dredging project in Newport Harbor. Additionally, lobbyists have assisted the City in its efforts to address aircraft noise and air quality concerns caused by operations at John Wayne Airport, and to advocate for community engagement in Advanced Air Mobility planning efforts. The agreement between the City and its most recent federal advocacy consultant expired March 30, 2025.
