ITEM EXPLANATION: In addition to the immediate erosion control measures taken by the City after the Harmony Fire, a detailed long term plan needs to be prepared to prevent increased sedimentation into the Batiquitos Lagoon and the various flood channels. Staff has researched alternatives and determined that Woodward-Clyde Consultants would be the best source to develop the plan. The Consultant will identify and describe alternative sediment control measures. Staff will select the best technique to Woodward-Clyde Consultants is familiar with the type of engineering work needed because they meet the needs at the various flood channels based on potential hazards and impacts. prepared a similar plan for the City of Laguna Beach after the fire in 1993. Staff has met with officials from Laguna Beach and found they were satisfied with the work done by the Consultant. Cost for the erosion and sediment control plan is a time and materials contract not to exceed $60,500. Based on a reassessment of the fire area and the necessary work, costs may exceed this amount. Staff is requesting that City Council authorize the City Manager to approve a supplemental contract not to exceed an additional $25,000, if needed, to complete the work plan making a contract total not to exceed $85,500. Staff will be returning to City Council within the next 30 - 45 days with a detailed accounting of the Harmony Fire costs. FISCAL IMPACT: A total of $85,500 will be appropriated from the General Fund Contingency Account to the Harmony Fire Account No. 0013121-7490. Sufficient funds exist for this appropriation. Expenditures will be made on an as needed basis but will not exceed the $85,500 without further City Council authorization. EXHIBITS: 1.

RAUTENKRANZ, City Clerk AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into as of the & day of JANUARY , 19 - 97, by and between the CITY OF CARLSBAD, a municipal corporation, hereinafter referred to as "City", and WOODWARD-CLYDE CONSULTANTS, hereinafter referred to as "Contractor." RECITALS City requires the services of a professional engineering Contractor to provide the necessary hydrologic and erosion control design services for preparation of an erosion and sediment control plan to mitigate effects of the Harmony Grove fire; and Contractor possesses the necessary skills and qualifications to provide the services required by the City; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these recitals and the mutual covenants contained herein, City and Contractor agree as follows: 1. CONTRACTOR'S OBLIGATIONS 0 Perform a reconnaissance of the burn area within the City of Carlsbad and preparation of a Phase 1 Erosion and Sediment Control Plan. Participation in public meetings and preparation of a fact sheet 1 rev. 8/26/96 These tasks are described below. Task 1 : Preparation of Phase 1 Erosion and Sediment Control Plan The objective of the Phase 1 Plan will be to focus on the reduction of sediment transport from the denuded slopes through existing drainage courses to areas where the sediment could potentially affect public and private facilities or residences, as well as sensitive habitats and receiving water bodies, including Batiquitos Lagoon. This task will consist of the following subtasks: Subtask 1.1 - Data Collection and Review In this subtask, we will perform a site reconnaissance and collect readily available relevant information from the City, County, Villages of La Costa, and other sources regarding the damage from the fire and the overall site conditions. This information will include selected geotechnical and geologic reports, hydrologic and sediment transport studies, topographic maps, storm drain maps, habitat maps, lagoon studies, jurisdictional maps, and pre- and post-fire aerial photographs, if available. This information will be reviewed for evaluation of sediment loading rates, runoff volumes and potential locations for mitigation measures. Subtask 1.2 - Sediment and Runoff Volume Estimations Based on the information compiled in Subtask 1 .I, an evaluation of the post-fire sediment and runoff volumes for the major drainages in the study area will be performed. This evaluation will provide estimates of peak flows and sediment volumes at key points of concentration for a range of potential storms that could occur this winter. Subtask 1.3 - Identification of Candidate Sediment Control Sites Based on the sediment and runoff volume estimations and the site conditions in the watersheds, we will select a number of candidate sites for installation of sediment control measures. These sites will be selected based on the opportunities provided by the topography, access, geologic conditions and other pertinent factors. Each site will be visited in the field to confirm its feasibility as a candidate site. 2 rev. 8/26/96 Subtask 1.4 - Identification of Alternative Sediment Control Measures Based on the available technology, alternative sediment control measures will be identified and described. Advantages, disadvantages and approximate installed costs will be summarized for comparison. These alternatives may include rock check dams, gabion check dams, wood check dams, k-rail check dams, hydroseeding, installation of fiber matting, and other appropriate techniques. The alternatives may also include modifications to existing structures, such as increasing the capacity of natural or man-made ponding areas in the natural channels and upstream of roadculvert crossings. We will identify which measures would be feasible at each of the candidate sites. We will then meet with the City to discuss the alternative techniques, and the City will select the approach that best meets it’s objectives. This will include final selection of the preferred alternatives and sites for installation. It will also include prioritizing the sites based on potential hazards and impacts. Subtask 1.5 - Design of Sediment Control Measures Based on the results of Subtask 1.4, we will develop designs for sediment control measures for implementation at each of the selected sites. In the interest of time and cost reduction, these designs will be based on the 2-foot contour topography maps currently available from .the City, and no additional field surveying will be performed. The site locations will be shown on a location map, and a more detailed drawing, suitable for construction of each sediment control measure, will be provided. We will also develop estimates for quantities of materials, and, depending on the labor force to be used, estimates of the installation costs. Task 2: Participation in Public Meetings and Preparation of Fact Sheet Woodward-Clyde will participate in meetings with the City Council, agencies, workshop groups, and other meetings as requested by the City. For budgeting purposes, we have assumed attendance at four meetings. We will also prepare a brief, I-page fact sheet about the emergency sediment control program for public distribution. 3 rev. 8/26/96 2. CITY OBLIGATIONS The City shall provide maps, hydrologic data for drainage basins that are currently in its possession and graphic support services agreed to as required. 3. PROGRESS AND COMPLETION The work under this contract will begin immediately after receipt of notification to proceed by the City and be completed with Task 1 within fourteen (14) days of that date.

The City Engineer will give allowance for documented and substantiated unforeseeable and unavoidable delays not caused by a lack of foresight on the part of the Contractor, or delays caused by City inaction or other agencies' lack of timely action. 4. FEES TO BE PAID TO CONTRACTOR The total fee payable for the services to be performed shall be based on time and materials not-to-exceed $24,500 for Tasks 1 and 2, and $36,000 for project - specific insurance.
