CITY OF CARLSBAD - AGENDA BILL
TITLE: APPROVING A CONSULTANT AGREEMENT FOR
PREPARATION OF THE DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN UPDATE,
PLANNED LOCAL DRAINAGE FEE STUDY, AND
PROGRAM ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
PROJECT NO. 3872 CITY MGR.$Z
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2005-103 approving a consultant agreement with Brown and
Caldwell Engineers for preparation of the Drainage Master Plan Update, Planned Local Drainage
Fee Study, and Program Environmental Impact Report, Project No. 3872.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The current Carlsbad Drainage Master Plan was approved by the City of Carlsbad Council in
March 1994 and re-approved in 1996 to incorporate minor amendments. The main objectives of the
Drainage Master Plan are to assess existing storm drain infrastructure, identify anticipated storm
drain facilities needed to accommodate flows from future development in Carlsbad, and develop a
funding mechanism to ensure the construction of drainage facilities under the Drainage Master Plan.
The Drainage Master Plan and associated documents form the basis of the City’s Planned Local
Drainage Area (PLDA) fee program. The PLDA fees apply to new development and
redevelopmenthemodels (where the building footprint increases by at least 50%). The fee structure
is based upon general plan land use designation and developable acreage, and is payable at time
of final map approval, building permit or grading permit, whichever occurs first.
Developers are eligible for fee credits and/or reimbursement for the cost to construct master
planned facilities. The fee credit and/or reimbursable amount are capped at the value of the cost
estimated in the Drainage Master Plan report plus an ENR cost index inflator. Developers may
receive reimbursement for costs that exceed the estimated cost (plus inflator) only upon the
updating of the Drainage Master Plan and PLDA fee program. The City has one such request
pending at this time and is anticipating additional reimbursement requests.
Pursuant to Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 3.28.070, the Engineering Department requested
Statement of Qualifications from nine (9) engineering firms experienced in developing citywide
drainage master plans. Staff received Statement of Qualifications from four (4) consulting firms for
the preparation of a Drainage Master Plan Update, PLDA Fee Report, and Program Environmental
Impact Report. After review by a consultant selection committee, the firm of Brown and Caldwell as
chosen as possessing the best qualifications to complete the master plan. Staff, with assistance of
the consultant, finalized the scope of work and negotiated a cost to complete the identified tasks.
Staff is recommending the Council approve a contract with Brown and Caldwell for the preparation
of the Drainage Master Plan Update, Planned Local Drainage Area Fee Study, and Program
Environmental Impact Report.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The proposed project requires the preparation of a Program Environmental Impact Report
(Program EIR) pursuant to Section 151 68 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN UPDATE
BACKGROUND
The current Carlsbad Drainage Master Plan was approved by the City of Carlsbad (City) Council in
March 1994 and re-approved in 1996 to incorporate minor amendments. The Drainage Master Plan
(DMP) includes seven chapters consisting of an executive summary, and chapters discussing
Planning Area Characteris tics, Methodology, Financing, Storm Water Quality Management Program,
Cost Estimates and Summary of Field Investigations. The main objectives of the document are to
assess existing storm drain infrastructure, identify anticipated storm drain facilities needed to
accommodate flows from future development in Carlsbad, and develop a funding mechanism to
ensure the construction of drainage facilities under the DMP.
The DMP and associated documents form the basis of the City's Planned Local Drainage Area
(PLDA) fee program. Under the fee program, the City was divided into four planned local drainage
areas corresponding to the four major drainage basins that transect the City. The PLDA fees apply
to new development and redevelopment/remodels (where the building footprint increases by at least
50%). The fee structure is based upon general plan land use designation and developable acreage,
and is payable at time of final map approval, building permit or grading permit, whchever occurs
first.
Developers are eligible for fee credits and/or reimbursement for the cost to construct master
planned facilities. The fee credit and/or reimbursable amount are capped at the value of the cost
estimated in the DMP report plus an ENR cost index inflator. Developers may receive
reimbursement for costs that exceed the estimated cost (plus inflator) only upon the updating of the
DMP and PLDA fee program. The City has one such request pendmg at this time and is anticipating
additional reimbursement requests.
The City advertised for assistance with revising the existing DMP, analyzing and developing a

SCOPE OF WORK AND FEE ESTIMATE
A detailed scope of work is provided below. The associated fee estimate is provided in the attached
spreadsheet.
Task 1 - Determine Facilitv Needs
Subtask 1.1 - Collect and Review Existing Documents $7,304.
BC wd perform an initial review of existing data/reports to determine critical data gaps. BC
will review such information as the existing Drainage Master Plan, City of Carlsbad GIS
Standards, GIS mapping, GPS controls, attribute methodology, drainage facility types,
existing hydrologc models and historical inventory of drainage features (such as basins,
flood control channels, etc.). BC will develop a list of documents required to continue with
the project and forward it to the City staff for review.
Subtask 1.2 - Coordination Meetings $4,280.
BC will coordinate a kickoff meeting with respective City representatives to receive
requested information (such as reports, other hstorical records, etc.) to discuss and gain
Page 2 of 20

clarification on issues/concems determined in the initial review prior to working on the
existing City of Carlsbad Drainage Master Plan mapping.
Subtask 1.3 - Initial Review & Assessment $8,516.
BC will conduct an initial infrastructure assessment based upon GIS information (GIs
attributes such as drainage feature type, age, historical records, etc.) provided by the City.
For areas that have data gaps, BC will develop a list of locations of issues/concerns or
relevant information required to continue with the project and forward to the City staff for
review. Upon request, BC can conduct a hted field assessment to fill data gaps such as
identification of drainage features, perform limited hydrologic/hydraulic analysis for a
maximum of ten (10) locations, and upon approval incorporate findings into the Drainage
Master Plan. The purpose of the assessment will be to develop a plan and criteria to correct
deficiencies in the Drainage Master Plan. Currently, no field time has been incorporated or
budgeted for hs subtask.
Task 2 - DeveloD Planned Local Drainape Area Fee Proptam
The Planned Local Drainage Area (PLDA) fee program generates development-related revenues to
fund storm drain infrastructure project costs. There is a unique fee for each of the four drainage
areas within the City. The fees are to be updated and documented in the DMP.
Developers are required to pay PLDA fees as a condition to the approval of their project. With
Council approval, the developer may receive fee credits and/or reimbursements for constructing
Master Plan facilities as part of their local development projects. Revisions to the existing PLDA
fees will be based on assessments of existing PLDA facilities, facihties required due to infrastructure
deficiencies, and addtional PLDA facilities required to accommodate new flows from future
development. These calculations wdl be consistent with California Government Code Section
66000 et a1 including the Subdivision Map Act regarding planning and zoning laws and the
Mitigation Fee Act (AB 1600) regardmg developer fees.

Scope of Work and Fee Estimate
February 7,2005
Subtask 2.1 - Evaluate Existing PLDA Fee Program $6,640.
For each of the four PLDA areas, BC will review and analyze the current fees, particularly
focusing on the basis of the current fee structures and the calculation of the loading factors
used in the original calculations. The hstorical PLDA fee proceeds and the credits issued
will be evaluated. Meetings and interviews with the City staff will be conducted to identify
and record each group’s opinion of the pros and cons of the existing fee structure.
Subtask 2.2 - Develop PLDA Fee Program Alternatives $6,240.
BC will develop three alternative PLDA fees to support funding of facilities needed up to
bdd-out, based on Tasks 1 and 2 findings and interviews with the City staff. One
alternative will be based on the existing PLDA fee structure. The other two alternatives may
include reassipg of land use types to low versus high hydraulic runoff volume areas,
adding a third “medium” runoff volume area, or consolidating or expandmg the number of
PLDAs. The pros and cons of each alternative will be determined and the optimum fee
program will be identified.
Subtask 2.3 - Develop Additional Details and Perform Sensitivity Analysis on the
Recommended Alternative $9,912.
Fee details will be developed and tabulated, including calculation of the unit fees and
anticipated annual fee proceeds. It is anticipated that the recommended PLDA fee structure
wdl be based on existing and proposed costs of drainage facilities and acreage by land use
designations. A sensitivity analysis will be performed to estimate the impact of project costs
and the projected intensity of build out on PLDA fees. The projected annualized fee
proceeds will be contrasted with the projected annual infrastructure construction costs to
identify the annual cash generation or construction cost shortfall for the drainage facility
plan.
Subtask 2.4 - PLDA Fee Program Technical Memorandum $7,744.
The development of the recommended PLDA fee program will be documented in a
technical memorandum (TM). The TM will be prepared in MS Word format and will

include a PLDA fees update analysis prepared in MS Excel spreadsheet format using
summary tables of asset values and land use and zoning characteristics. The embedded
PLDA analysis table will be constructed with open architecture and interhked with the
original MS Excel spreadsheet that can be updated by the City. Some findings will be
extracted from the TM for incorporation into the draft DMP update.
Six (6) copies of the PLDA Fee Program TM wdl be submitted for City review. The City
wdl provide written comments that will be dscussed in a comment resolution meeting.
Comments received and agree upon will be incorporated into the final TM. Twelve (12)
bound hardcopies, one “camera ready” loosely bound set, and one electronic copy (in MS
Word format) of the final TM will be submitted.
Subtask 2.5 - Meetings and Presentations $7,166.
BC will attend a kickoff meeting; two meetings with key City staff to discuss the
assumptions, findings and conclusions of the PLDA fees update; an EIR Scoping meeting;
and one final report meeting with the City’s Engineering Leadership group. In addtion, BC
will attend one City Council meeting and will participate in one public hearing on the
adoption of the updated PLDA fees in conjunction with the approval of the DMP update.

Location: (PLDA A-D, Constrained, etc.)
Task 3 - Cost Estimates
BC will develop an estimate of the average annual costs for rehabilitation and replacement of the
drainage facilities anticipated at bdd out. Ths estimate wdl be based on the estimated annual
depreciation of the drainage assets at their current replacement costs. This information wlll be
combined with estimates of annual O&M costs for the facilities as developed in another task to
estimate the sustained annual cost of providing citywide drainage services.
Subtask 3.1 - Estimate Capital Costs of Recommended Alternative $11,128.
BC will provide technical support on an as needed basis for the development and generation
of the infrastructure replacement criteria to City representatives prior to generation of
estimates for replacement costs. BC will generate estimates based on replacement costs, and
rehabilitation costs to determine the best cost alternative to maintain the City infrastructure.
An Infrastructure Life Expectancy Report wlll be generated to capture assumptions,
expected life of existing major culverts inventoried and will suggest what portions of existing
infrastructure is worth rehabilitating. Information for these capital costs will be compared to
other typical cities to determine reasonableness and validity of information.
Page 6 of 20
Subtask 3.2 - Estimate Operation and Maintenance Costs $17,152.
BC will identify and outline a model maintenance program that is in accord with, or has been
certified by, or has written agreements with regulatory agencies that meet operational and
maintenance conditions of the general permit requirements. BC will coordinate and further
defrne the approach with the City prior to conducting research, development of general
criteria and laying out a process for tracking maintenance costs, general maintenance
activities to support tracking, and guidelines for an inspection program.
BC wdl project estimates based on maintenance, operational protocols and procedures,
hstorical replacement and repair records for drainage features, historical maintenance
practices on existing drainage features (such as basins, flood control channels, etc.). General
criteria for the routine maintenance of basins that meets regulatory compliance will also be
identified.
Coastal cities that perform under operational and maintenance agreements with regulatory
agencies will be surveyed. The acquired information for projected capital costs will be
compared to other typical coastal cities to determine reasonableness and validq of
information.
A Maintenance Cost Analysis Report will be generated to capture assumptions; determine
expected labor cost to maintain and operate existing major drainage features inventoried; and
suggest areas where efforts may be focused to maintain existing infrastructure.
Subtask 3.3 - Prepare Cost Estimate Report $14,012.
BC will prepare a Cost Estimate report identifying areas of unusual or recurring expenses;
cost savings measures on maintenance and operational protocols and procedures; future
costs associated with replacement and rehabilitation for existing; and proposed drainage
features (such as basins, flood control channels, etc.).

Task 4 - Prepare Revised DrainaEe Master Plan
BC will assemble the findings and estimates performed under Tasks 1 to 3 to prepare a
comprehensive update of the City’s Drainage Master Plan.
Subtask 4.1 - Prepare Revised Drainage Master Plan $18,164.
The updated DMl’ will include, at a minimum, the following elements:
.
Review and analysis of existing storm water facdities
Discussion of the results of the limited hydrology/hydraulic studies
Identification of new and/or needed refurbishment of existing storm water facilities
Development of PLDA fee program that incorporates Task 1 and 3 findings
Preparation of new and/or updated Engineer’s opinion of probable design, construction,
ROW acquisition, environmental mi%ation and administrative costs for future planned
facilities
Subtask 4.2 - Revisions, Meetings and Presentations $11,208.
BC will submit five (5) copies of a draft updated DMP for City’s review. The City will
provide written comments to the updated DMP which will be discussed in a comment
resolution meeting to be held at the City. Resolutions shall be incorporated and a final
updated DMP submitted to the City within two weeks of the comment resolution meeting
with the City. BC will submit twelve (12) bound copies of the final update DMP, one
camera ready loosely bound original, and one electronic copy. The TMs shall be prepared in
MS Word format.
Subtask 4.3 - Perform Limited Hydrologic/Hydraulic Studies $23,196.
BC will develop a hydrologic/hydraulic model for the purposes of conducting lunited studies
to assess infrastructure capacity. In addition, BC will prepare limited hydrology/hydraulic
studies addressing areas of special need in areas where existing and planned development
activities differ from the prior Drainage Master Plan assumptions. BC will gather existing
Page 8 of 20
topographic and watershed mapping that extends beyond the City boundaries, gather
existing topographic and watershed mapping within the City (GIs based files provided by
the City of Carlsbad), review drainage system attributes, and conduct lunited analysis of
existing storm drain facilities to test valilty of existing drainage infrastructure and mapping.
BC will also gather proposed topographic and watershed mapping withm the City for new
developments from the Planning Department (GIs based files provided by the City of
Carlsbad), review proposed drainage system capacity and downstream effects to existing
infrastructure, incorporate new attributes to lstinguish between old fee structure and new
fee structure, and conduct a hted analysis of proposed storm drain facihties to test the
validity of proposed drainage infrastructure and mapping. While conducting the limited
hydrology/hydraulic stules, BC wdl identify deficiencies in existing as well as in proposed
infrastructure and incorporate such facilities into the overall Drainage Master Plan.
It is assumed that all planned development drainage maps will be provided in GIS format.
In addition, all drainage modeling will be conducted utilizing a HEC-US graphical model
(or equivalent) for watershed analysis.
Task 5 - PreDare Promam Environmental Impact Report
A Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) will be prepared to assess the potential impacts
associated with implementation of the updated DMP. Program EIRs, as defmed by the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (California Code Regs. Title 14, 515168), can be used as the
basic, general environmental assessment for an overall program of projects that will be implemented
through a series of groups of later actions. To assure CEQA compliance, the PEIR needs to include
all content requirements normally included in a Project EIR, although the level of detail will be more
general in nature in the PEIR, as compared to the Project EIR. The benefit of selecting the PEIR is
that it can be used as a tiering document to facilitate preparation of environmental documentation
for City Council to consider individual CIP projects as they arise for final CEQA compliance in
accordance with the CIP project implementation schedule. Environmental documentation for some
of these future CIP projects may require an EIR, while others, depending on the level of potential
impact, may be satisfied with a Negative Declaration or a Mitigated Negative Declaration.
Page 9 of 20
Preparation of an Initial Study will provide guidance concerning the level of potential impact and the
appropriate type of environmental document needed to evaluate a specific CIP project.
The BC team assumes that at this programmatic level of analysis, no type of federal action is
required and therefore, no NEPA compliance is required. However, it is possible that certain
activities or circumstances related to the further planning and proposed implementation of one or
more of the specific projects may contain elements that require NEPA compliance such as the use
of federal land, use of federal funding, or impacts to wetlands such that an Individual 404@)(1)
permit is required. Thus, in certain instances, NEPA would apply and the City would have to factor
NEPA compliance into plans for project approval. Overall, NEPA would be accounted for on a
project-by-project basis. Regardless, the PEIR can be used as a source document for NEPA as well
as a tiering document under CEQA.
Due to the accelerated nature of the project schedule, the BC team will work closely with the City on
various elements of the DMP. The elements identified in the Drainage Master Plan wdl define the
project description and is the basis of the environmental analysis. The BC team will also work with
the City during preparation of the project description. As clarified at the kickoff meeting, the study
area to be analyzed in the PEIR includes the jurisdictional boundaries for the City as defrned in the
General Plan and consists of four major hydrologic basins: (1) Buena Vista Creek Basin, (2) Agua
Hedionda Creek Basin, (3) Encinas Creek Basin, and (4) San Marcos Creek Bain. It is anticipated
that various fachties wdl be identified in the updated DMP, including new pipehes and drainage
structures and improvements to existing storm drain facilities.
Subtasks that focus on specifically designed sets of activities are described below. These activities
begm with two important initial activities (Subtask 5.1), followed by the collection of geographically
and topically relevant data (Subtask 5.2), and then the preparation of the environmental document
(Subtasks 5.3 through 5.8). The final subtask (Subtask 5.9) includes project management activities
specific to Task 5.

Subtask 5.1 - Start-up Activities $13,793.
5.1.1 Data Collection
Information will be collected from various data sources to provide a regional
characterization of the environmental setting for the drainage basin area and the associated
drainage components. According to the City, the following documents will be made
avadable to the project team: . . . Carlsbad Oaks North
9 Agua Hedionda LEAD Program . . .
Rancho Carlsbad Mobile Home project
Cannon Road / Raceway project
City of Carlsbad General Plan + EIR
City of Carlsbad Habitat Management Plan
Other approved land use project Environmental Reports
The BC team will also obtain the GIS-based vegetation layers from the City (assume this is
proprietary information to be used for project purposes only). BC’s subconsultant, EDAW,
Inc. (EDAW), currently has access to relevant data resources acquired through SANGIS and
SANDAG, and these data will be drawn upon to supplement data provided by the City.
In addtion, the project team will use other regional databases, such as the Natural Diversity
Data Base (NDDB) and cultural resource records available through the two local
clearinghouses, to develop a regional environmental setting and to help define the local
settings at certain project sites, as required.
The following is a description of the data sources to be used to provide regonal
characterizations for each of the CEQA issues to be assessed in the PEIR.
Biological Resources - Information for biological resources would be derived from
regonal vegetation and species mapping including the Carlsbad Habitat Management
Plan (HMP) (City of Carlsbad 1999). In addition, multiple databases would be used to
Page 11 of 20
City of Carlsbad
Drainage Master Plan Update
Scope of Work and Fee Estimate
February 7,2005
determine biological resources of the study area, including the California Natural
Diversity Database (CNDDB), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Designated Critical Habitat, and
the National Wetland Inventory. Applicable local ordinances, such as Resource
Protection and Biological Mitigation ordinances, would also be referenced.
. Cultural Resources - Regional cultural resource information will be derived from
archival research consisting of an archaeological and historical records and literature
review. This will provide background on the types of sites that would be expected in the
region. The review will include examination of the archives at the South Coastal
Information Center at San Diego State University and the San Diego Museum of Man.
. Land Use - General Plans, zoning ordinances, and other planning documents for the
City will be used to determine land use compatibihty and other land use related issues.
. Water Resources - The best and condensed source of regional water resources and
water quality information is through Project Clean Water, whch provides regional
watershed management planning and information resources. The Watershed Urban
Runoff Management Plan (WURMP) for each watershed in the study area that are
Qsseminated through the website would be referenced for information such as sensitive
waters, predicted growth, pollutants of concern, resources requiring protection, and
other water resource issues. These plans are developed by local municipalities in concert
with the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The plans address all current regulatory
compliance needs, as well as holistic approaches to improving water quality. Other
reference documents will include the City’s General Plan (1994) and the General Plan
Master EIR (1 994) and Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Plan.
. Traffic and Transportation - Data to characterize existing and future traffic volumes
in the study area and condltion of existing roadways wlll be gathered from the City’s
traffic engineering department and if appropriate, SANDAG’s travel demand forecasting
model and regional growth projections.
Page 12 of 20
City of Carlsbad
Drainage Master Plan Update
Scope of Work and Fee Estimate
February 7,2005 . Noise - Noise in the San Diego region is typically generated by transportation sources;
therefore, it will be appropriate to utilize SANDAG‘s traffic forecast to project regional
transportation related noise levels. The updated Drainage Master Plan would be used to
determine potential noise generating facilities that may be constructed. Applicable
planning documents, such as the Noise Element of the City’s General Plan and the noise
guidelines manual will be used to determine the allowable noise huts of particular areas.
Noise sensitive land uses will also be identified, includmg hospitals, schools, churches,
and elder care facilities.
Air Quality - Regional air quality will be described using information from the San
Diego Air Pollution Control District’s (APCD) air quality monitoring network.
Additional information may be provided through the California Air Resources Board
(CARB) or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (LISEPA).
. Visual Resources - In addressing potential impacts to visual resources local and state
scenic highway sources will be consulted, and local land uses wd be evaluated for
sensitive receptors in the vicinity of proposed facilities, sunilar to those identified under
Noise, above.
. Geology and Soils - Information wdl be derived from published geologic literature and
maps, such as the Kennedy Maps showing geologic formations for the San Diego area,
and U.S. Department of Conservation Soil Survey Maps of San Diego County.
. Paleontology - Analysis of paleontological resources will be based upon a review of the
potential for fossiliferous-forming strata identified in published geologic literature and
based on discussions with paleontologists at the San Diego Natural History Museum.
. Agricultural Resources - A regional characterization of agricultural resources will
include data sources such as Important Farmland Map Categories, Williamson Act
contracts information, and agncultural preserves in the vicinity of the project.

facilities. Plans for future recreation opportunities will be gathered from the City’s
General Plan.
Subtask 5.2 - Notice of Prep (NOP) & Public/Agency Consultation $6,665.
An NOP will be prepared to announce the City’s intent to prepare a PEIR in conformance
with CEQA Guidelines (Section 15082). This begins the early consultation process with
agencies and organizations that may be in someway affected by or concerned with the
implementation of facllities associated with the updated DMP and PEIR.
The BC team will assist the City in preparing the project description and location map for the
NOP. An initial study, which lists the probable environmental effects of the project, will also
be prepared by the BC team. BC will print up to 25 copies of the NOP/IS for distribution by
the City. The City will distribute the NOP/IS document to the State Clearinghouse; each
Responsible Agency and Trustee Agency; and public agencies, organizations, and individuals
that may be affected by the project. The NOP/IS will be made available for public review at
local libraries and other appropriate locations. Comments received during the 30-day NOP
review period will be used to finalize the scope of the Draft PEIR. The NOP and all NOP
comments will be provided as an appendn in the EIR.
A scoping meeting will be undertaken to satisfy CEQA requirements. The City of Carlsbad
d make all arrangements for this public meeting and a staff member of the BC team d
attend. Staff will be prepared to address technical questions on the EIR as needed.
It is recommended that the City include a note in the monthly bihg envelopes to all
customers advising them about the availability/purpose of the NOP for the DMP. The BC
team, will coordinate with the Finance Department, and can prepare a draft of such a notice
to customers, but it is assumed that the City would be responsible for finalizing and
reproducing the letter, and including the letter in the billing envelope. Once filed, there will
be a 30-day response period, whereby each responsible agency is given the opportunity to
express their views on the project from the standpoint of their respective jurisdictions and
associated responsibdtties.
