Subject: Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with GHD for Engineering Services
for the Beach Access Repairs from Pine Avenue to Tamarack Avenue
Recommended Action
Adopt a Resolution approving Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with GHD for professional
engineering services for the Beach Access Repairs from Pine Avenue to Tamarack Avenue,
Capital Improvement Program Project No. 3896.
Executive Summary
On Jan. 9, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2018‐002 and awarded a professional
services agreement to GHD in the amount of $500,000 to provide engineering services for the
project. Due to a revised scope of work and updated cost estimates, staff is requesting an
amendment to the agreement to revise the scope of work, increase the fee by an additional
$220,000 and extend the term of the agreement by three years to May 8, 2023. The agreement
currently expires on May 8, 2020 and no extensions are allowed without the City Council’s
approval, as outlined in the Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 3.28.040. Sufficient funds to cover
the costs related to this amendment are available in the Capital Improvement Program account,
so no additional fund appropriations are requested.
Discussion
The project will repair, replace and improve beach accesses along the west side of Carlsbad
Boulevard between Pine Avenue and Tamarack Avenue. The project includes repair and
replacement of the upper elevated sidewalk, lower sidewalk, stairways, handrails, seawall and
retaining walls.
Staff are currently analyzing different design alternatives for the needed repairs and
improvements that are outside of the original agreement scope with GHD. Because some of the
project features extend beyond the city’s right of way and encroach into California Department
of State Parks’ right of way, staff will work with State Parks to refine the project design to
comply with that agency’s design standards.
The amendment is necessary for the added scope of work, including additional structural
investigations, land surveying, design alternatives for widening the upper elevated sidewalk,
environmental review and permitting processes and options for pedestrian and traffic‐rated
railings. The amendment also accounts for continual coordination and plan review process with
State Parks.

SUBJECT: CARLSBAD BEACH ACCESS REPAIR CHANGE ORDER
Attached please find a change order for Vandermost Consulting Services, Inc. doing business as
VCS Environmental to continue to assist you and the City of Carlsbad with preparation of a CEQA
document for the Beach Access Repair project. The attached estimate is additive to our existing
authority.
Our existing authority includes specific studies for preparation of the CEQA project description,
noise and air quality, internal initial study funding, and biological/archeological/tribal monitoring.
Additionally, our permitting and coordination task number 1.3 will be utilized to help fund the
preparation of the IS/MND in order to keep the change order costs down. We will also combine
the remaining $3,993 in tasks 1.2 Technical Studies, 1.2 Permitting and 1.3 Meetings and
consolidate it to a new task 1.7 for Outreach Meetings so we can assist you as needed.
A copy of our latest invoice is attached with notes to illustrate the consolidation of the tasks as
described above. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. Thank you for the
opportunity to serve GHD and the City of Carlsbad.

2020-04-21 CC Item 3 Carlsbad Blvd beach repairs-sidewalk-Linke.pdf
I have attached correspondence that I would like to be made part of the public record on the referenced item, and I
would like the text appended below to be read at the meeting.
Best regards,
Steve Linke
NARRATIVE:
I am concerned that this $220,000 contract amendment changes the underlying project from a pure repair of the beach
area into a hybrid project that includes capital improvements to Carlsbad Boulevard, which may be subject to different
funding and other rules, and which will impact mobility-related levels of service that should be reviewed by the Traffic
and Mobility Commission.
I also am concerned that the CIP currently seems to include a "patchwork" of sometimes overlapping projects on the
Carlsbad Boulevard corridor, which may benefit from more coordinated planning and review. For example, the Traffic
and Mobility Commission recently reviewed three other beach access projects totaling about $10 million that connect to
the project currently under consideration, but those have not yet been presented to the City Council.
And I believe the "Carlsbad Boulevard Realignment" project has funded over $1.S million of studies of projects along the
length of the street, but it is not clear what these studies have shown. I encourage the City Council to carefully consider
the implications of the currently proposed amendment, and to have the Traffic and Mobility Commission globally review
projects in this corridor instead, rather than going forward in a piecemeal fashion.

Re: 4/21/2020 City Council Agenda Item #3 (Amendment to Engineering Services Agreement with GHD
for Beach Access Repairs)
Mayor and City Council:
Summary
I am concerned that this $220,000 amendment changes the underlying project from a pure repair into a
hybrid that includes capital improvements, which will impact mobility-related levels of service and may
be subject to different funding and other rules. I also am concerned that the Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) currently seems to include a "patchwork" of sometimes overlapping projects on the
Carlsbad Boulevard corridor, which may benefit from more coordinated planning and review. I
encourage the City Council to carefully consider the implications of this amendment and to have the
Traffic & Mobility Commission (T&MC) globally review projects in this corridor, rather than going
forward in a piecemeal fashion.
Additional information
The original agreement was for services for " ... the permitting and design of the necessary repairs to the
sidewalk, beach access stairways, and seawall along the west side of Carlsbad Boulevard between Pine
Avenue and Tamarack Avenue ... [to] maintain this beachfront section ... " (funded by CIP Project 3896
with a total budget of $5,811,750 derived from the General Fund--$1,612,750 from the Infrastructure
Repair Fund and $4,199,000 from the General Capital Construction fund). The proposed amendment
adds the widening of the sidewalk on the west side of Carlsbad Boulevard, achieved by removing
sections of the street's raised median and shifting and restriping the vehicle and bicycle lanes, as well as
replacing the current metal beam guardrail with traffic-rated bollards, at an unknown cost.
At their 2/3/2020 meeting, the T&MC reviewed three other projects related to beach access in this same
area. Two ofthe projects were to improve the existing ramps, which connect the sidewalks described
above, at an estimated cost of $2,800,000 each (CIP Project 6065 includes $2,875,000 from the General
Fund for these). The third project was to create a tunnel under Carlsbad Boulevard to allow direct access
from the Agua Hedionda Lagoon trail at an estimated cost of $3,000,000 (CIP Project 4063 includes
$3,276,000 from the General Fund for that). These have not yet been presented to the City Council.
Also, I believe the "Carlsbad Blvd Realignment" project (CIP Project 6031) has funded over $1.S million
of studies along the length of the street, beginning about eight years ago. I suggest that it would be
appropriate for the T&MC to review these studies and make recommendations to the City Council.
Sincerely,
Steve Linke
