Sunset/Huntington Harbour Maintenance Dredging and Waterline Installation Project based on the
following additional findings:
a. The circumstances Of the project are substantially the same and Mitigated Negative Declaration
No. IP 14-148 adequately addressed the effects of the proposed project. No substantial changes
have been made in the project, no substantial changes have occurred In the circumstances under
which the project is being undertaken and no new information of substantial importance to the
project which was not known or could not have been known when the previous Mitigated
Negative Declaration No. IP 14-148, was adopted had become known; therefore no further
environmental review is required.
b. Mitigated Negative Declaration No. IP 14-148 is adequate to satisfy the requirements of CEQA
for the Sunset/Huntington Harbour Maintenance Dredging and Waterline Installation Project.
rye' 2. Approve plans, specifications and bid documents for the Sunset/Huntington Harbour Maintenance
All Dredging and Waterline Installation Project.
Page 1
3. Approve the Cooperative Agreement between the County and the City of Huntington Beach for the
Waterline Project.
4. Authorize the Clerk of the Board to advertise the Sunset/Huntmgton Harbour Maintenance Dredging _ w
and Waterline Installation Project for bids and set 2.00 PM, Wednesday, September 16, 2015, as the
time and date for bid opening unless extended pursuant to Public Contract Code 4104.5.
SUMMARY:
Approval of the plans, specifications, and bid documents and authorizing the Clerk of the Board to
advertise the Sunset/Huntington Harbour Maintenance Dredging and Waterline Installation Project will
enhance waterway navigation, increase fire protection, and restore critical habitat.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Sunset/Huntington Harbour is located in the cities of Seal Beach and Huntington Beach. The County of
Orange is responsible for maintaining the manna depths in Sunset Aquatic Marina (Sunset Harbour) and
the channel depths in the Main Channel between the Pacific Coast Highway bridge in Seal Beach and
Warner Avenue in Huntington Harbour. The County of Orange has carried out previous maintenance
dredging projects in Sunset Harbour with the most recent maintenance dredging cycle occurring in 2001.
New maintenance dredging needs to be accomplished for waterway navigational purposes both in Sunset
Harbour and the Main Channel.
The overall Sunset/Huntington Harbour Maintenance Dredging and Waterline Installation Projec`l
(project) also includes the installation of a 14-inch-diameter waterline under the Huntington Harbour
channel. The waterline is the responsibility of City of Huntington Beach and is being installed for fire
protection purposes. Because dredging equipment will be required to complete both the maintenance
dredging and the waterline installation components of the project, considerable cost and scheduling
efficiencies can be achieved by installing the waterline during the maintenance dredging work. A
Cooperative Agreement has been prepared to cover the City's portion of the project.
The disposal sites for dredged material will be at an open ocean Environmental Protection Agency
approved site, with a small amount of dredge material to be deposited in the Surfside/Sunset Beach surf
zone and a portion at the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge for habitat restoration of marsh areas
located adjacent to the harbor. The purpose of the marsh restoration pilot project is to study the effects of
applying a thin layer of dredge material to low elevation salt marsh while monitoring and recording marsh
conditions for up to one year before and for five years after the application of the dredge material.
The estimated construction cost for the dredging project is $6,400,000 and the estimated cost of the
waterline project is $925,000.
A copy of the plans, specifications, and bid documents is on file with the Clerk of the Board.
Compliance with CEQA: This project is a necessarily included element of the project considered in
Mitigated Negative Declaration No IP 14-148, approved by the Board of Supervisors on January 2(7,
2015 for the Sunset/Huntington Harbour Maintenance Dredging and Waterline Installation Project whi&',',-
adequately addressed the effects of the proposed project. No substantial changes have been made in the
Page 2
project, no substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project is being
undertaken and no new information of substantial importance to the project which was not known or
ould not have been known when the Mitigated Negative Declaration IP 14-148 was approved has
ecome known; therefore no further environmental review is required.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
OC Parks has budgeted sufficient appropriations to pay for this Project. The City of Huntington Beach
will pay all costs associated with the waterline project. OC Parks Capital Projects Fund 406: 87%; City of
Huntington Beach: 13%.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: 6/15/2015
SUBMITTED TO. Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY, Fred A Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY. Travis K Hopkins, PE, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT- Adopt Resolution No 2015-28 authorizing intent to enter into a proposed future
Cooperative Agreement with the County of Orange for the Huntington Harbour
Waterline Proiect, CC-1446
Statement of Issue
The Public Works Department desires to construct a new waterline crossing one of the channels in
Huntington Harbour to improve redundancy and reliability The City has the opportunity to construct
this project along with the County of Orange ("County") Harbor Dredging Project This will allow the
City to take advantage of the cost of mobilizing a dredging contractor to dredge a trench area in the
harbor for the City waterline and to piggy back on their environmental document therefore reducing
project costs and conserving on staff time and resources
Financial Impact
$1,100,000 is available from undesignated Water Fund (506) balance No appropriation is required
or requested at this time Appropriation will be requested at a later date after the County obtains
bids for contracts
Recommended Action
Adopt Resolution No 2015-28, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Authorizing Intent to Enter Into Proposed Cooperative Agreement Between the City of Huntington
Beach, California and County of Orange, California "
Alternative Action(s)
Do not adopt the resolution and forego opportunity to collaborate with the County to reduce
construction costs and to minimize impact to the Huntington Harbour for a new waterline
Analysis
To improve the redundancy and reliability of the water supply to the Huntington Harbour and Sunset
Beach areas, the City proposes to construct the Huntington Harbour Waterline to serve as a backup
to an existing 12-inch ductile iron waterline located beneath the harbor channel near Peter's
Landing The Huntington Harbour Waterline Project will consist of constructing approximately 670
lineal feet of 14-inch diameter pipeline across the harbor main channel
The existing 12-inch ductile iron pipeline is a critical pipeline segment that provides a loop
(redundant) waterline for the two areas and supports the water flow necessary for fire protection
purposes A pipeline failure or shutdown of the 12-inch water pipeline would result in a significant
reduction in fire flow capacity to these areas, ranging between 37 to 58 percent
HB -65- Item 10. - 1
Dept ID PW 15-035 Page 2 of 2
Meeting Date 6/15/2015
The County of Orange currently has a maintenance dredging project in the Sunset/Huntington
Harbour area and has agreed to Include the City's proposed waterline project Since the pipeline
project will also require dredging of a section of the harbor, staff believed this was an opportune
time to work together with the County since the City's waterline must address environmentally
sensitive issues, testing, and permitting similar to the County's dredging project This collaboration
with the County is saving the City hundreds of hours of staff time and will accelerate the
construction of the waterline project by piggybacking on the County's dredging project
The County is requiring a Cooperative Agreement ("Agreement"), which describes the conditions
under which each party agrees to facilitate the construction of the waterline project The attached
Agreement has been approved "As to Form" by legal counsel The Agreement will need to be
signed by both agencies after County opens bids for both projects Prior to County awarding both
projects, City and County will need to finalize the agreement and the City will need to provide the
County with a lump sum payment for construction, contingency, construction support, inspection,
and other relevant costs associated with the new waterline After completion of the waterline
project, the County will return any unused funds to the City
The County anticipates advertising both projects as early as July 2015 and awarding the contract in
September 2015 The County is tentatively scheduled to begin construction in Fall of 2015, and
complete the waterline project and dredging maintenance work in Spring of 2016 The Huntington
Waterline project has an engineer's estimate of approximately $1,100,000 00
