Approving an amendment to the agreement between the City of
Carlsbad and the California State Coastal Conservancy to
accept additional Conservancy grant funds for seawall access
structures.
Appropriating additional project funding from the State
Department of Boating and Waterways, the California State
Coastal Conservancy and the General Capital Construction Fund
to the project account.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The construction of the Carlsbad Boulevard Seawall is progressing
according to schedule, The Tamarack Avenue Beach Parking Lot and
access to Carlsbad State Beach will be open to the general public
by May 27, 1987. Please reference attached Exhibit 1. As the
completion date for the project as originally bid draws closer,
staff recommends the Council approve several adjustments to the
project at this time.
The foundation and the upright sections of the seawall itself
were completed approximately three (3) weeks ago. Backfill and
compaction adjacent to the wall as well as installation of the
Sycamore Avenue bluff-top stairway and repair of the Tamarack
Avenue stairway are underway. The Tamarack Avenue Beach Parking
Lot and access road will be vacated by the contractor on or about
May 4, 1987 to be followed by resurfacing and restriping of the
parking facility. The Beach Parking Lot and access to the beach
in front of the entire length of the seawall will be open to the
general public approximately May 27, 1987 as required by the
terms of the contract.

The original design of the seawall includes the installation of a
ten (10) foot wide concrete sidewalk near the top of the wall
extending the entire wall length of 3,200 linear feet. The
design calls for construction of short retaining walls at several
key locations adjacent to the sidewalk a total distance of
approximately 150 linear feet in an effort to contain erosion and
minimize slope failure. The contractor, Marathon Construction Company, the project design engineer, Woodward-Clyde Consultants,
and City staff have reviewed the conditions of the slopes
immediately east of the proposed sidewalk installation and
unanimously recommend installation of a three (3) foot high
reinforced retaining wall a distance of approximately 2,500
linear feet. The proposed retaining wall has been designed to
match the appearance of the seawall and absorb any stress from
potential slope failure. Staff recommends the City take
advantage of the opportunity to install the retaining wall at
this time while the contractor is mobilized and on site. The
installation of the proposed retaining wall will increase
pedestrian safety on the wall's sidewalk, reduce maintenance, and contain any surface sloughing from the adjacent slopes. Please
reference attached Exhibit 2.
Staff has secured approval from the State of California Department of Boating and Waterways to include this item in the
project budget qualified for 75% reimbursement under the terms of
our existing contract. A price has been negotiated with the
contractor to install a reinforced colored concrete retaining
wall a distance of approximately 2,500 linear feet at the rate of
$65.00 per linear foot for an estimated total of $162,500. The
final length and therefore cost of this item will vary slightly
depending upon field conditions. Additionally, the contractor
will credit the City $11,250 for deletion of the short sections
of originally designed retaining wall so as to make the entire
length of retaining wall uniform. Therefore, the net increase of
Change Order No. 5 is $151,250.
A thirty (30) consecutive calendar day time extension is required
by the contractor to install the additional retaining wall so as
to adjust the sequential phasing of the construction. The
contractor will utilize the State Parks Ocean Street ramp as
access to the project to complete the installation of the
retaining wall and sidewalk. Since the Tamarack Avenue Beach
Parking Lot and access to the beach the entire length of the
seawall will be open to the general public, staff believes the time extension to install this critical item at this time is
warranted. Staff recommends Council approve Change Order No. 5.
Staff has secured the approval of State Parks representatives for
the additional time required by the contractor to install the
retaining wall since the parking facilities and beach itself will
be available to the general public on schedule.

Page Three of Agenda Bill No.
The design of the seawall foundation required the footing to key
into the bedrock which was estimated at four (4) feet below the
mean sea level. This "keying" effect provides the structural
stability and enhances the ultimate design life of the seawall
structure itself. During the excavation of the seawall
foundation, the contractor discovered loose sand and cobbles at
varying depths and lengths. This situation indicated the lack of
bedrock which consequently required the contractor per the
approved project plans and specifications to excavate and remove
the unsuitable material. The process was then followed by forming and pouring structural and non-structural concrete to
create a sufficient manufactured key with which to construct the
seawall foundation. This situation was encountered in
approximately 30% to 40% of the entire length of the seawall
foundation. Please reference attached Exhibit 3.
The existing contract for this project contains bid items for
non-structural concrete at $200 per cubic yard and structural
concrete at $300 per cubic yard, Because of the process described above, Change Order No. 6 is required to adjust the
quantities of these bid items to reflect an increase of 720 cubic
yards of non-structural concrete and reduction of 75 cubic yards
of structural concrete. The net effect of Change Order No. 6 is
as follows:
Add 720 cubic yards of non-structural concrete
at $200 per cubic yards $1 44,000
Delete 75 cubic yards of structural concrete
at $300 per cubic yards 22,500
Net increase of Change Order No. 6 $1 21,500
The increased cost of Change Order No. 6 is 75% reimburseable per
the terms of our contract with the State of California Department
of Boating and Waterways since it effects the quantities and
therefore cost of existing approved bid items. Staff recommends
Council approve Change Order No. 6.
The existing agreement between the City and the State of
California Department of Boating and Waterways expires on July 1,
1987. Staff recommends Council approve the attached extension of
the agreement to July 1, 1988. Please reference attached Exhibit

With the assistance of Assemblyman Robert Frazee, the City has
secured additional grant funding in the amount of $67,485 for
beach access structures from the California State Coastal
Conservancy to be applied to this project. This additional
funding, coupled with the restructuring of the original
Conservancy grant in the amount of $166,515, enables the City to
apply the full $234,000 of approved grant funds directly to the
project on a reimbursement basis with the Conservancy. These
funds will be applied on an actual cost basis for the
installation of the Sycamore Avenue bluff-top stairway and the
seven (7) integral stairwells leading from the top of the seawall
to the beach. Please reference attached Exhibit 6. Staff
recommends Council approve amendment No. 1 to the City's
California State Coastal Conservancy grant.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds in the amount of $3,786,515 have been previously
appropriated by the City Council for this project as follows:
1. State Department of Boating and Waterways Grant $2,715,000
2. City of Carlsbad Revenue Sharing 905,000
3. State Coastal Conservancy Grant 166,515
Total Project Appropriations $3,786,515
The California State Coastal Conservancy has approved an
additional $67,485 of reimburseable grant funds for the project.
A provision of the City's agreement with the State of California
Department of Boating and Waterways includes a $200,000
contingency reserve held by the State Department of Finance
available for this project. A formal request has been made to
the State Department of Boating and Waterways for the release of
the project contingency to the City on the established 75%
reimbursement basis. Please reference attached Exhibit 7. In
order to utilize the contingency funds available from the State,
the City must appropriate the 25% local agency matching funds.
Therefore, staff recommends the Council appropriate the required
matching funds in the amount of $67,000 from the unappropriated
balance of the General Capital Construction Fund,

REQUESTED ACTION: Authorization to augment the Conservancy's existing grant to the City of Carlsbad by $67,485 to provide funding for the City to construct a total of seven seawall to beach access stairways and to construct a stairway at Sycamore Avenue from the bluff to the beach.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: In August 1986, the Conservancy awarded a grant of $166,515 to the City of Carlsbad for access improvements at Carlsbad State Beach as part of the City's seawall project (Exhibit 1). The City has requested that the msewancy reconsider funding all seven instead of only zhree seawall to beach access staimays. Also, the bid to constru: t the project was higher than projected. Approval of the augmentation would allow constructlon of seven new seawall to beach staimays and construction of a new bluff to beach stairway at Sycamore Avenue.

STAFF DISCUSSION: In August 1986, the Conservancy awarded a grant of $166,515 to the City of Carlsbad for access improvements at Carlsbad State Beach as part of the City's seawall project (Exhibit 1). The actual costs for the project, based on the bid, are much higher than was anticipated because of the complexity of the project, including specialized equipment required and the difficulty of construction in an oceanfront environment. Because of the increased costs, the City has requested that the Conservancy reconsider funding all seven instead of only three seawall-to-beach access stai mays as authorized previously by the Conservancy.
The City has now comnitted funds of their own for a lateral access path behind the seawall. With the additional comnitment on the part of the City, staff considered recomnending additional Conservancy funding for

the access road to a second parking area (the Tamarack lot) also require storm protection.
The City is sponsoring this project because the City street and utilities are threatened, even though the proposed project would be located on State Park property. The State Parks' General Plan for Carlsbad State Beach, prepared in July, 1983, recognizes that some sort of beach protection device and beach replenishment is needed to help protect beach facilities and Carlsbad Blvd.
Carlsbad has studied several types of shore1 ine protection devices which could protect the roadway while minimizing encroachment on the beach. The City may select one or a combination of the following methods of bluff protection: no project, rock revetment, fabrifonn and/or concrete-filled bags, concrete wall with rock fill, reinforced earth wall with toe stone, and reinforced concrete vertical seawall with and without toe stone. The exact deslgn of the structure will not be determined untll final engineering studies are complete. Design assumptions used for comparative purposes in the EIR are that the selected bluff protection device would: 1) be constructed at a slope of approximately 1 1/2 to 2 : 1; use deep foundations rather than toe stone where feasible; be designed to provide an adequate level of protection; 4) have a fifty-year design life; and 5) require minimal excavations into the bluff (Exhlbi t 3).
The City's proposed design for shoreline protection, as a result of environmental and preliminary design studies, is for approximately 3,200 lineal feet of vertical seawall; an engineered rock rip-rap "seawall' In front of the existing, elevated sand pad at the base of the northern access ramp; and as addi tional project components , cnglneered rock rip-rap replacement of the existing rock protection for the Tamarack Av. parking lot and an engineered rock tip-rap "seawall' along the base of the bluff, below the Ocean St. parking lot. This project is not part of the City's funding request to the Conservancy.
Regardless of the method of shoreline protection selected for Implementation by the Clty, Carlsbad has requested that the Conservancy fund several access improvements which will retain and enhance public access in the shoreline project area (Exhibit 7.) The City proposes an additional 13 parallel parking spaces at the top of the bluff north of an exlsting parking area for 40 vehicles and near a landscaped day use area. An existing stairway, the Cherry Ave. stairs, would connect to thls expanded parking area. California Boating funds will integrate the stairs into the proposed seawall by providing a landing at the seawall and providing access through the seawall to the beach below.

CONS I STENCY WITH CONSERVANCY ACCESS PROGRAM CRITERIA: Minium Crikrla
Serves Greater Than Local Need -
The Carlsbad Seawall and Ocean St. access project Sites are located within the City of Carlsbad, which has a population of 49,900. The population of northern San Diego County and southern Orange County Is approximately one million. The projects will provide new and enhanced access to Carlsbad State Beach and the beach just to the north. Carlsbad State Beach estimates 900,000 user days per year. The Ocean St. accessway attracts users from the immediate neighborhood and city, adjacent inland cities and visitors staying at motels in the vicinity of the site.
local Coastal Proqram Consistency -
The project sites are within the Mello I1 segment of the Carlsbad Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan, certified by the Coastal Comnission on June 3, 1981. The zoning plan for the Mello I1 area also has been certified. of Carlsbad has not yet approved the plan or the zoning; therefore, the Coastal Comnission is still issuing permi,ts for the coastal zone. The plan's shomline access policies recomnend that a comprehensive access signing plan be developed for Carlsbad and that the City cooperate with the State to insure that lateral beach access is protected and enhanced. The access signing plan and acceptance of offers to dedicate as required by this recomnendatfon wlll further these plan policies (policies 7-2 and 7-3, respectively). Improvement of the Ocean Street accessway Is consistent with policy 7-15 which states that the Ocean Street offer to dedicate should provide public access.
Consistency with Conservancv Access Standards -
The Carlsbad Seawall access projects are consistent with Access Standards 1, 2, 7, and 12 (general standards related to location and design of accessways, accessways located in areas of high erosion hazard, and specific standards for vertical accessways and support facilities.) The Ocean St. accessway project Is consistent wlth Access Standards 1, 3, 4 and 7 (related to location and design of accessways, accessways located on access easements near residences, and speciflc standards for vertical accessways.)

Urqency-
Access to the beach at parts of Carlsbad State Beach occurs informally, causing foot traffic erosion of the bluff. The project will reduce bluff erosion by pro,tiding a seawall with beach access stairways. The Ocean St. stairway is only partially existing, with the lower portion eroded by wave action, handrails absent, and vegetation overhanging the accessway. The renovated stairway will help stabilize the bluff by reducing erosion. Furthermore, Conservancy staff have been attempting to locate a management entity for the accessway for four years - partially at the urging of concerned local resldents - and it is Important to take advantage of the fact that Carlsbad is currently willing to accept the easement from the Conservancy.
Cost Effectiveness -
The estimated average use at Carlsbad State Beach is 2,640 persons per day, based on 900,000 annual user days. Increased public access may result from the proposed tncreased parking and vertical access. The seawall will have an estimated life span of 50 years, while the access facilities are required to be maintained by the applicant for twenty years. The project materlals are not low cost, but should be long-lasting (concrete stairs) with lower maintenance costs. Based on the high usage of the beach, the proposed project would be cost effective. An assumption of the Ocean St. accessway by the City of Carlsbad will result in maintenance of the accessway, which will prevent further deterioration and thus be cost-effective.
lime of Completion -
Construction of the seawall access projects is anticipated between October, 1986 and nay, 1987. The Ocean St. accessway construction would be completed by the end of October 1987.
Comprehensive Proqrams -
The proposed projects comprehensf very address the existing access needs of the City of Carlsbad. The Ocean St. accessway will provide an additional access to the Carlsbad Clty Beach which encompasses the northern coast of Carlsbad. The majority of the remaining Carlsbad coast

shall be distributed throughout an area SO as to mitigate against the impacts social and otherwise, of overcrowding or overuse by the publlc of any single area."
CEQA COMPLIANCE: The City Council of Carlsbad certified the Environmental Impact Report for the Carlsbad Boulevard Bluff Stabilization Project (SCH # 84091201) on January 7, 1986 (Exhibit 3). The City Council found that the project would have one significant unmitigated impact related to the temporary loss of a portion of the beach as a recreation area during construction. The Conservancy staff has considered the environmental effects of the proposed access project at Carlsbad State Park as described in the Final Environmental Impact Report and concurs that the project will have slgnlficant effects on the environment related to several issues including bluff restabil lzation during construction and loss of beach use during construction.
Staff believe that this single, unavoidable impact is acceptable because the benefits of the project including protection of the roadnay and Increased vertical access, outweigh this temporary, adverse effect, and recomnend that the Conservancy so find. The following mitigation measures have been proposed to minimize the significance or potentially significant environmental effects of the proposed access projects:
