SUBJECT: APPROVE CONSULTANT SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL
GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES FOR TUSTIN LEGACY BACKBONE
INFRASTRUCTURE
SUMMARY
Approval of Consultant Services Agreement will provide for geotechnical design services for
completion of the unfinished design of certain Tustin Legacy Backbone Infrastructure projects.
Geotechnical design services are essential for establishing design parameters and
recommendations for site development, grading, and construction.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
Approve a Consultant Services Agreement (CSA) with NMG Geotechnical, Inc. for the
provision of geotechnical design services for Tustin Legacy, subject to any non-substantive
modifications as may be determined necessary as recommended by the City Attorney and
authorize the City Manager and/or Assistant City Manager to execute the document on behalf
of the City; and
2. Appropriate $26,400 from unappropriated funds in the MCAS Tustin Redevelopment Fund
(555) which shall be transferred to the Capital Improvement Program Fund to cover
geotechnical design services of the Warner Avenue Improvements between Red Hill Avenue
and Armstrong Avenue (CIP No. 70202), Armstrong Avenue Improvements from Warner
Avenue to Barranca Parkway (70201), Barranca Parkway Improvements from west of Tustin
Ranch Road to east of Aston Street (CIP No. 70205), and Valencia Avenue Improvements from
Kensington Park Drive to Tustin Ranch Road (CIP No. 70204).
FISCAL IMPACT
The geotechnical design services will be compensated based upon a signed task order for each
task per the cost estimates identified in the Scope of Services, with a not to exceed contract
amount of $48,700. There are sufficient funds budgeted and appropriated in this Fiscal Year 2010-
2011 Capital Improvement Program ($22,300) for the completion of the design of the Tustin Ranch
Road Improvement Plans as identified in the Consultant's Scope of Services. The balance of the
work tasks will require an appropriation from unappropriated MCAS Tustin RDA funds.

DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND
With the recent City Council approval of a Termination and Settlement Agreement between the
City of Tustin, Tustin Public Financing Authority and Tustin Legacy Community Partners, LLC
("TLCP") related to the Disposition and Development Agreement for the Master Developer site, the
City is now desirous of completing design of unfinished plans for certain Tustin Legacy Backbone
Infrastructure projects that TLCP started and never completed. Many of these plans are near
completion. The work tasks for the geotechnical design services for completion of the
infrastructure plans will be prioritized and task work orders will be issued as needed to support the
engineering design effort.
The City requested and received a proposal for geotechnical design services from NMG
Geotechnical, Inc. based upon their familiarity and experience with the work required. They were
previously retained by TLCP as the geotechnical consultant of record for the former master
developer footprint and have conducted a comprehensive investigation of the site, and prepared
numerous design reports to be incorporated in the preparation of engineering design plans. Due to
their vast knowledge of the project and their previous work efforts they were determined to be the
most qualified to provide the required services at this time. Since most of the engineering design
plans are near completion, continuing with NMG Geotechnical, Inc. as the geotechnical service
provider would provide a seamless transition as the City moves forward to complete the
engineering plans and specifications for certain Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure projects.
Bidding these services through a solicitation process would result in the City needing to add
significant time to the completion of engineering design plans and the need to reeducate a new
geotechnical firm to the complexities of the Tustin Legacy project.

Subject: Cost Estimate for Geotechnical Design Services for Armstrong Avenue
Improvements, Tustin Legacy Development, City of Tustin, California
INTRODUCTION
NMG Geotechnical, [nc. (NMG) has prepared this cost estimate for geotechnical design services
anticipated for the Armstrong improvements within the Tustin Legacy development. Our
services will include preparation of a geotechnical review report that provides site specific
findings and recommendations for the design and construction of the subject improvements.
NMG has been the geotechnical consultant of record for the approximately 800-acre Tustin
Legacy development since February 2004 and has conducted a comprehensive investigation and
prepared numerous design reports over the last six years for the prior master developer. The
prior NMG reports provide geotechnical information, design parameters and recommendations
for site development, grading and construction. NMG has also provided geotechnical field
services and laboratory testing services for the site during multiple phases of grading and
construction. The geoteclulical field data include geologic mapping, Feld inspections, density
testing and laboratory testing. However, since the project was stopped prior to completion of
earthwork and constriction, the geotechnical documentation is at an interim stage.
PROJECT SUMMARY
The street grading for the subject section of Armstrong Avenue was performed as part of prior
grading in conjunction with Neighborhood E. There are existing water and sewer pipelines in the
entire stretch of Armstrong Avenue. Only a limited portion of storm drain line was installed near
the intersection with Warner Avenue. The site conditions consist of native alluvium and trench
backfill material. The groundwater in the area is approximately 8 (near Bananca Parkway) to 13
feet deep (near Warner Avenue). The storm drain installation is anticipated to require substantial
excavation and backfill. Minor additional grading and reprocessing is anticipated.

ASSUMPTIONS
Our cost estimate is based on the following assumptions:
• The existing NMG field exploration data is sufficient for the design of the proposed
improvements. Additional field exploration and laboratory testing for design purposes is not
anticipated.
• The proposed improvements will be similar to the prior design and the project plan set is
nearly complete. NMG will review one set of the design plans. Multiple plan revisions are
not anticipated.
• Assessment of environmental issues will be addressed by others.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The anticipated services include geotechnical design support and review for the proposed street
improvements. NMG will coordinate and provide geotechnical parameters to support the design
by the project civil engineers, the City and other project designers/consultants. As part of the
project coordination, our design services will include review and updating of the prior work
performed. We anticipate the project will have a separate set of improvement plans and a
separate landscape plan. A single report will be prepared that provides a summary of the
~~eotechnical t7ndings and recommendations and will be sufficient to support the proposed
~~rading and construction.
The scope of anticipated geotechnical services is summarized below, along with the estimated
cost.
1. Project and Grading Update/Geotechnical Release
"I'he prior work and data for the site will he updated for the cutzent project. The prior findings
and work will be documented in the geotechnical report. 1f required, the appropriate
geotechnical release will be provided in order for the new work to proceed.
2. Street and Utility Improvement Plan Review

Subject: Cost Estimate for Geotechnical Design Services for Tustin Ranch Road
Improvements, Tustin Legacy Development, City of Tustin, California
INTRODUCTION
NMG Geotechnical, Inc. (NMG) has prepared this cost estimate for geotechnical design services
anticipated for the Tustin Ranch Road improvements within and adjacent to the Tustin Legacy
development. Our services will include preparation of a geotechnical review report that provides
site-specific findings and recommendations for the design and construction of the subject
improvements. NMG has been the geotechnical consultant of record for the approximately
800-acre Tustin Legacy development since February 2004 and has conducted a comprehensive
investigation and prepared numerous design reports over the last six years for the prior master
developer. The prior NMG reports provide geotechnical information, design parameters and
recommendations for site development, grading and construction. NMG has also provided
geotechnical field services and laboratory testing services for the site during multiple phases of
grading and construction. The geotechnical field data include geologic mapping, field
inspections, density testing and laboratory testing. However, since the project was stopped prior
to completion of earthwork and construction, the geotechnical documentation is at an interim
stage.
PROJECT SUMMARY
"The subject street improvements will extend from Warner Avenue to Walnut Avenue. The
project requires additional grading within the Legacy site, a new bridge crossing over Edinger
Avenue and grading for the extension of the road north of Edinger Avenue to Walnut Avenue.
"1'he reach of Tustin Ranch Road from Warner to Valencia is currently in a native condition and
will require remedial earthwork during future rough grading. The groundwater in this area
ranges from 4 to 8 feet deep. .Grading for the south bridge embankment and loop road was
performed as part of prior mass grading of the Legacy site, but has not been fully completed. At
this time, there is an existing fill surcharge on the south embankment and loop road that was used

to mitigate settlement and will need to be removed to the design grades. "I'he geotechnical
investigation and foundation design parameters for the bridge were performed by NMG as part of
a prior study. The site conditions consist of native alluvium and various generations of existing
compacted till. "1'he groundwater in the area varies from approximately 8 to 12 feet deep. The
proposed street improvements north of Edinger will require a significant amount of additional
grading and construction of several (retaining and ti•eestanding) walls. Existing utilities will be a
constraint during future grading and constriction.
ASSUMPTIONS
Our cost estimate is based on the following assumptions:
• The existing NMG Feld exploration data is sufficient for the design of the proposed
improvements. Additional field exploration and laboratory testing for design purposes is not
anticipated.
• The proposed improvements and bridge will be similar to the prior design and the project
plan set is nearly complete. NMG will review one set of the design plans. Multiple plan
revisions are not anticipated.
• Assessment of environmental issues will be addressed by others.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
'T'he anticipated services include geotechnical design support and review for the proposed street
improvements. NMG will coordinate and provide geotechnical parameters to support the design
by the project civil engineers, the City and other project designers/consultants. As part of the

Subject: Cost Estimate for Geotechnical Uesign Services for Armstrong Avenue
Improvements, Tustin Legacy Development, City of Tustin, California
INTRODUCTION
NMG Geotechnical, lnc. (NMG) has prepared this cost estimate for geotechnical design services
anticipated for the Armstrong improvements within the Tustin Legacy development. Our
services will include preparation of a geotechnical review report that provides site specific
findings and recommendations for the design and construction of the subject improvements.
NMG has been the geotechnical consultant of record for the approximately 800-acre Tustin
Legacy development since February 2004 and has conducted a comprehensive investigation and
prepared numerous design reports over the last six years for the prior master developer. The
prior NMG reports provide geotechnical information, design parameters and recommendations
for site development, grading and construction. NMG has also provided geotechnical field
services and laboratory testing services for the site during multiple phases of grading and
construction. The geotechnical field data include geologic mapping, field inspections, density
testing and laboratory testing. However, since the project was stopped prior to completion of
earthwork and construction, the geotechnical documentation is at an interim stage.
PROJECT SUMMARY
The street grading for the subject section of Armstrong Avenue was performed as part of prior
grading in conjunction with Neighborhood E. There are existing water and sewer pipelines in the
entire stretch of Armstrong Avenue. Only a limited portion of storm drain line was installed neaz
the intersection with Warner Avenue. The site conditions consist of native alluvium and trench
backfill material. The groundwater in the area is approximately 8 (near Barranca Parkway) to 13
feet deep (near Warner Avenue). The storm drain installation is anticipated to require substantial
excavation and backfill. Minor additional grading and reprocessing is anticipated.

PROJECT SUMMARY
The subject street improvements will extend from Warner Avenue to Walnut Avenue. The
project requires additional grading within the Legacy site, a new bridge crossing over Edinger
Avenue and grading for the extension of the road north of Edinger Avenue to Walnut Avenue.
"1'he reach of Tustin Ranch Road from Warner to Valencia is currently in a native condition and
will require remedial earthwork during future rough grading. The groundwater in this area
ranges from 4 to 8 feet deep. .Grading for the south bridge embankment and loop road was
performed as part of prior mass grading of the Legacy site, but has not been fully completed. At
this time, there is an existing fill surcharge on the south embankment and loop road that was used

to mitigate settlement and will need to be removed to the design grades. "I'he geotechnical
investigation and foundation design parameters for the bridge were performed by NMG as part of
a prior study. The site conditions consist of native alluvium and various generations of existing
compacted till. "l'he groundwater in the area varies from approximately 8 to 12 feet deep. The
proposed street improvements north of 1/dinger will require a significant amount of additional
grading and construction of several (retaining and lieestanding) walls. Existing utilities will be a
constraint during future grading and constnlction.
ASSUMPTIONS
Our cost estimate is based on the following assumptions:
The existing NMG field exploration data is sufficient for the design of the proposed
improvements. Additional field exploration and laboratory testing for design purposes is not
anticipated,
The proposed improvements and bridge will be similar to the prior design and the project
plan set is nearly complete. NMG will review one set of the design plans. Multiple plan
revisions are not anticipated.
• Assessment of environmental issues will be addressed by others.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
