CONSIDER THE SAN DIEGO
ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS'
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS
FOR PHASE 3 OF THE REGIONAL
BEACH SAND PROJECT II
DEPT. DIRECTOR
CITY ATTORNEY
CITY MANAGER
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Consider the San Diego Association of Governments' request for additional funds for Phase 3
ofthe Regional Beach Sand Project II, and make a determination to:
A. Accept the request, and adopt Resolution No. 2012-037 authorizing the Mayor to
execute Amendment No. 3 to the Memorandum of Understanding with the San Diego
Association of Governments, supporting Phase 3 ofthe Regional Beach Sand Project II,
and committing $225,000 of previously appropriated funds to the project's construction
contingency, or
B. Decline the San Diego Association of Governments' request for $225,000 in additional
funds for Phase 3 ofthe Regional Beach Sand Project II.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On May 5, 2009 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2009-084 authorizing the Mayor to
execute a Memorandum of Understanding with the San Diego Association of Governments
(SANDAG), supporting the Regional Beach Sand Project II (RBSP II) and committing to funding
the engineering design and environmental documents for a region-wide beach nourishment
project (Phase 1). On January 25, 2011 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2011-010
authorizing the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Memorandum of Understanding with
SANDAG, committing to funding biological and shoreline monitoring, planning contingency as
needed to fulfill permitting requirements (Phase 2), and construction/construction management
(Phase 3) of the project. Amendment No. 2 to the Memorandum of Understanding was specific
to the City of Imperial Beach and approval by Carisbad was not necessary.
During the last quarter of 2011, SANDAG advertised for and received bids for RBSP II, Phase 3
ofthe project, which is expected to begin pumping sand onto the region's beaches beginning in
the summer of 2012. According to the project design, the two beach nourishment sites within
Carisbad are expected to receive a combined total of 340,000 cubic yards of sand. Four bids
were received for Phase 3 of the project, and all four bids were higher than the engineer's
estimate - including standard contingency funds. The lowest bid was approximately 14 percent
(or $2,000,000) higher than the engineer's estimate. Therefore, additional funds are needed by

SANDAG in order to award the construction contract for this phase of the project, as designed
and bid.
The attached draft Amendment No. 3 to the SANDAG Memorandum of Understanding requests
that Carisbad commit an additional $225,000, to the RBSP II construction contingency. The
draft amendment also reflects requests for additional funding of Phase 3 of RBSP II to the
Cities of Solana Beach ($173,360) and Encinitas ($225,000). SANDAG did not request
additional funding from the Cities of Oceanside and Imperial Beach due to their previously
asserted financial commitments, and the Cities of Coronado, San Diego, and Del Mar decided
not to be included in the project. SANDAG has independently calculated the amount of
additional funding needed from each city. SANDAG has also applied for two grants, which it
anticipates will aide in offsetting the aforementioned shortfall between the available funds for
this phase of the project and the lowest bid received.
The following is a summary of project contributions and the amount of sand to be received by
the San Diego County coastal communities:

Total $500,000 $166,568 $172,355 $1,863,160 $623,360 $3,325,443 1,148,000 cy
(1) The City of Oceanside is committed to a maximum financial contribution of $600,000 to Phase II and Phase III.
(2) The City of Imperial Beach is combining previously approved funds to purchase 425,000 cy of additional sand.
(3) Previously adjusted permitted sand quantities to meet RBSP II budget constraints (-11 %).
In addition to the above financial contributions, the California Department of Boating and
Watenways has contributed $19.5M towards RBSP II which equates to 85% of project costs.
The contributions outlined above are intended to provide the 15% local match of project costs.
Options
B.
Approve SANDAG's request to provide increased funding support - in the amount of
$225.000 - for Phase 3 of RBSP II. and adopt the requisite resolution.
According to SANDAG, if each of the three requested cities provides the corresponding
increased funding, it will be in a position to execute a construction contract with the
lowest bidder. Presuming the contract is executed, the contractor could begin pumping
sand on to the region's beaches in June/July, 2012.
Decline SANDAG's request to provide increased fundinq support - in the amount of
$225.000 - for Phase 3 of RBSP II.
As indicated, the lowest responsible bid is in excess of the current funding needed to
construct the project. Without adequate funds, SANDAG would be required to consider
revising the project scope, and the quantities of sand on the receiver beaches, to bring
Page 3
the project costs in line with the previous funding contributions from the participating
cities. Project element revisions could include: eliminating a beach nourishment site;
reducing the quantities of sand on the receiver beaches by up to 25%; or discontinuing
the project due to lack of adequate funds. In addition, changes to the project scope or
the elimination of beach nourishment sites may require the project to be re-bid, thereby
delaying the project for up to 4-6 months. SANDAG has indicated this option is not its
preference, and recommends awarding the contract as previously permitted and bid.
FISCAL IMPACT:
On September 12, 2006 the City Council authorized the Carisbad Beach Preservation
Committee to apply for Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fee (ACMF) funds for the
implementation of a local beach nourishment project. On February 13, 2007 the City Council
approved the Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fee Ad Hoc Citizens Committee's
recommendation to appropriate $1,500,000 forthe beach nourishment project (AGP 06-10).
Since that date, the city has disbursed $659,059 in awarded ACMF to RBSP II - $74,500 for the
preparation of a feasibility study, $41,936 for Phase 1, $65,150 for Phase 2, and $477,473 for
Phase 3 of the project, leaving an available project balance of $840,941. If the City Council
were to execute Amendment No. 3 to the Memorandum of Understanding with the San Diego
Association of Governments, staff would disburse $225,000 in ACMF funds (AGP 06-10). A
balance of $615,941 would remain available for future local beach nourishment projects.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15061(b) (4) states a project is
exempt from CEQA if it is denied. However, if the City Council decides to execute Amendment
No. 3 to the MOU, the appropriation of funds does not qualify as a "project" under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Public Resources Code Section 21065 and State CEQA
Guidelines Section 15378 in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in
the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and
therefore does not require environmental review.
