MYFORD ROAD EXTENSION BETWEEN MOULTON PARKWAY AND BARRANCA ROAD
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Tustin City Council, at their meeting of April 1, 1985, approve the
Agreement for Consultant Services for the preparation of the Environmental
Assessment Document for Myford Road between Moulton Parkway and Barranca Road
subject to final approval by CalTrans/FAU.
BACKGROUND:
The subject project provides for the extension of Myford Road between Moulton
Parkway and Barranca Road. It is proposed that this six lane roadway would extend
through MCAS(H) adjacent to and westerly of Peter's Canyon Wash and then traverse
westerly near the southerly boundary of the base to align with Jamboree Road (in
the City of Irvine) at Barranca Road.
This project is in the current Federal Aid Urban (FAU) Program in the amount of
$205,000.00 for Environmental Document preparation and preliminary engineering.
The agency cost breakdown for these items is as follows:
FAU share (86%) .................................. $176,300.00
City of Irvine share (5.6%) ...................... 11,500.00
City of Tustin share (8.4%) ...................... 17,200.00
$205,000.00
DISCUSSION:
The attached Agreement for Consultant Services provides for the preparation of an
Environmental Assessment Document for the subject project and designates the firm
of L.S.A., Inc., the consultant, to perform said services.
Staff solicited proposals for said work to eleven environmental consultant firms
and six firms responded with proposals. These six firms were screened by a
three-member selectipn committee and rated in nine pre-determined areas. The
three top rated firms were as follows:
1. L.S.A., Inc. of Newport Beach ................ $ 27,500.00
2. P.B.R. of Irvine ............................. 27,280.00
3. Sanchez-Talarico of Newport Beach ............ 33,577.00

City of Irvine (5.6%) ......................... 1,540.00
City of Tustin (8.4%) ......................... 2,310.00
This Agreement is of the same format as previously used for F.A.U. projects and
has been reviewed and tentatively approved by CalTrans/FAU. Additionally, it has
been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney's office subject to two
corrections which have been completed.

time within ten (10) days following the beginning of such delay and

PROPOSAL FOR
PROFE~ICES
MYFORD ROAD BETWEEN BARRANCA
ROAD AND MOULTON PARKWAY
INTRODUCTION
The extension of Myford Road requires completion of two major tasks:
project management and environmental documentation. These tasks are very
closely related. Project management consists of coordination of the project
among several agencies involved, and review of cooperative agreements and
relevant Memoranda of Understanding. The project manager will oversee prepar-
ation of necessary technical reports, letters, and recon~endations that. meet
concerns of the City and the approving agencies. He will also coordinate
public hearings, meetings with community groups, and prepare monthly progress
reports.
The environmenta) process'consists of preparation of environmental docu-
'ments in the form of a Federal Environmental Assessment (EA) and an Initial
Study {IS). The EA/IS will be in accordance with CalTrans, FHWA, and City of
Tustin standards. The process also includes revisions to the EA/IS in
response to comments from public agencies, attendance at public hearings, and
processing the Historic Property Survey.
Our strategy for expediting this project is based on the participation of
team members whose experience and expertise will allow them to assume full
responsibility for the project, its ultimate goal, as well as all of the
attendant logistics and details. We interpret the City's Request for Proposal
(RFP) as a desire for a consulting team which, through extensive experience,
can provide its own direction, and has the skills to execute theselneeds. We
believe that LSA offers this experience and expertise.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT APPROACH
LSA will be the lead consultant for both project management and prepara-
tion of the EA/IS. The firm has multi-disciplinary capabilities, and will be
responsible for all general and technical studies relating to the EA/IS,
except for noise and air quality assessments. These tasks will be completed
by Mestre Greve Associates and Hans Giroux, respectively.
The consultant team will be managed by direct principal involvement.
This individual will be Les Card, Principal-in-Charge of LSA, Inc., Newport
Beach, Professional Engineer and Traffic Engineer licensed in California. He
will be responsible for administrative tasks, scheduling, team/City coordina-
tion, scope of services compliance, total traffic/transportation analyses, and
overall project management. The names of key staff and their proposed respon-
sibilities follow.

Resumes
PERSONNEL EXPERIENCE
Brief resumes of personnel assigned to the project are summarized in the
following paragraphs. Complete resumes on all project staff are included in
the attachments to this proposal.
LSA~ Inc.
Les Card. Mr. Card was directly responsible for all project manage-
ment, administrative, and processing activities for the projects listed as
examples in the Consultant Team Experience section of the proposal. Managing
this volume of CalTrans/FHWA projects has fostered an excellent knowledge of
project development procedures and environmental review requirements. Mr.
Card has also conducted public hearings and prepared records of such for these
projects. In addition to formal public hearings, Mr. Card has also conducted
numerous public community/homeowners' association meetings related to project
design aspects and environmental impacts.
Management responsibilities for these examples are consistent with the
tasks outlined for the proposed project. LSA and Mr. Card have direct, suc-
cessful experience in all specific tasks suggested for project management.
The management and processing for this volume of CalTrans and FAU projects has
resulted in the development of outstanding professional working relationships
with all levels of CalTrans personnel, as well as an excellent appreciation
and understanding of CalTrans project development procedures. This same sound
relationship and processing experience also exists with the FHWA.
Dana Lyons. Ms. Lyons, Assistant Project Manager of the Newport
Beach office of LSA, will be responsible for all aspects of preparing and pro-
cessing the EA/IS, attendance at all meetings and hearings, and managing tech-
nical subconsultants. Ms. Lyons earned her B.A. in Geography/Eco-Systems from
the University of California, Los Angeles. Ms. Lyons has been responsible for
a wide variety of environmental studies, including transportation, residen-
tial, office/commercial, industrial, and large planned-conmunity projects.
Ms. Lyons has developed expertise in managing projects which require coordina-
tion with local, regional, State, and Federal agencies. She served as assis-
tant project manager for the Sand Canyon/I-405 Overcrossing, Irvine Center
Drive Widening, Culver Drive Bridge Widening Environmental Assessments, Brea
Mall Civic Center Area Expansion Project EIR, Nixon Library EIR in San Cle-
mente, and Canyon Springs EIR (5,253 residential units} in Los Angeles County.
Beth Padon. Ms. Padon, Manager of LSA's Cultural Resource Division,
will prepare the Historic Property Survey for LSA. Prior to joining LSA, she
served as Cultural Resource Manager with CalTrans District 7. Ms.~ Padon is,
therefore, familiar with State and Federal requirements, and can provide valu-
able expertise in carrying the Historic Property Survey through the CalTrans/
FHWA process.
Mestre Greve Associates. Paul Dunholter of MGA will provide the
technical noise assessment for the extension of Myford Road. Mestre Greve
Associates provides noise analyses for all of LSA's environmental documents,
including CalTrans/FHWA projects. Mr. Dunholter is familiar with requirements
and acoustical report standards, and has prepared several noise analyses for
NEPA/CEQA documents.
Hans Giroux. Mr. Giroux, consulting meterologist for LSA, will pro,
vide expertise related to air quality issues. Mr. Giroux provides air quality
assessments for all LSA projects, which includes over 100 analyses in recent
years, several of which are CalTrans/FHWA projects.
'CONSULTANT TEAM EXPERIENCE
LSA has prepared several documents on projects and issues similar to the
extension of Myford Road. Most notable, is Mr. Les Card's long history of
involvement with this project's development; directing the earliest formal
activities in January 1981, which evaluated alternative alignments for the
roadway. Mr. Card's efforts and negotiations with the Marine Corps Air
Station-Helicopter (MCAS[H]), Tustin, resulted in a perceptive understanding
of military concerns as they relate to air operations and housing impacts.
More recently, LSA has been directly involved in the preparation of the Proj-
ect Report and Initial Study for the extention of Myford Road between Barranca
Road and Moulton Parkway.
The project team, under Mr. Card's direction, has significant experience
in working together. For the last five years, LSA, Mestre Greve Associates,
and Hans Giroux have jointly prepared many environmental documents on roadway,
commercial/industrial, and residential projects. The firm is recognized as a
leader in the field of transportation planning, environmental assessments, and
the attendant processing. The utilization of team member's services by a
variety of government planning and public works agencies demonstrates the
team's understanding of environmental requirements and procedures. Described
in the following paragraphs are several recent or current LSA projects rele-
vant to the proposed EA/IS.
Jamboree Boulevard/I-5 Interchange
An Environmental Assessment for Jamboree Boulevard at I-5 in the City of
Tustin is currently under preparation. Project management is another major
component to this project. The primary issues involve development of the
interchange in a manner which will accommodate future expansion of the circu-
lation network in the region. Secondary issues involve land use and relevant
planning, geology, and hydrology. Client: City of Tustin.
Altont Barranca~ Irvtne Center Drive/
Route 133 Interchange/Overcrossing
~-~..An Environmental Assessment for Alton, Barranca, Irvine Center Drive/
Route 133 freeway interchange/overcrossing is currently under preparation.
Because each of these facilities are closely related to the others, concurrent
processing is necessary to evaluate the various environmental issues. These
issues relate primarily to the interface between significant f'orecast growth
and impacts to the freeway syst.em. Client: The Irvine Company ...........
Harvard Avenue/I-405 Overcrossing
-'; An Environmental Assessment/FONSI for the locally-funded Harvard Avenue/
1-405 overcrossing in the city of Irvine. Concerns were noise and~ circulation
impacts, and visual effects. Client: The Irvine Company.
Yale Avenue/I-50vercrossing
Preparation 'of a traffic analysis and management of the Environmental
Assessment for construction of a new I-S overcrossing at Yale Avenue. This
project required a significant amount of traffic impact analysis in determin-
ing the overall benefits of the project given diversion of traffic from the
adjacent interchanges. Client: City of Irvine.
~oulton Parkway Realignment
An Environmental Assessment/FONSI for the widening and realignment of a
portion of Moulton Parkway/Irvine Center Drive through the cities of Tustin
and Irvine. Concerns were downstream water quality impacts, cultural
resources, growth inducement, agricultural lands, and noise impacts on adja-
cent residential development. Client: City of Tustin.
~effrey Road/I-5 Interchange
~n Environmental Assessment which included the analysis and project man-
agement for reconstruction of the Jeffrey Road interchange with I-5. Primary
issues for this study were the evaluation and recommendation of a preferred
alternative. An Historic Property survey was prepared for two houses which
would be affected by widening Jeffrey Road north of the interchange. A public
participation program was conducted to identify any potential impacts which
could occur for an existing commercial center and apartment complex. Client:
City of Irvine.
Sand Canyon Avenue/I-40$ Interchange
An Environmental Assessment is currently being prepared for the potential
impacts of constructing a locally-funded interchange on the 1-405 freeway at
Sand Canyon Avenue in southeast Irvine. Issues involved the phasing of inter-
change ramps, connecting ~ith Sand Canyon to the south,, and the 'proposed
coastal State park. ~lient: City of Irvine. -~ ~' ~ ~ ~.
~istoric Property Surveys ,;..~: .. ~ ~,.
In addition to the above-mentioned environmental documents, LSA's Cul-
tural Resource Division has extensive experience in preparing Historic Prop-
erty Surv6y reports for CalTrans/FHWA projects. We have successfully com-
pleted and processed Historic Property Surveys for 1-40$/Jeffrey Road, Alton
Parkway/I-5 Freeway; Highway 15 and Via Rancho Parkway in Escondido, Pacific
Coast Highway Widening Project, Harvard Avenue/I-405 Overcrossing, and Moulton
Parkway/Irvine Center Drive.
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AND DOCUMENTATION
LSA will prepare an EA/IS in accordance with State and City CEQA Guide-
lines and CalTrans/FHWA regulations. The EA/IS will consist of a single docu-
ment describing the project, the need for the project, design variations con-
sidered, alternatives to the project, potential impacts, and feasible mitiga-
tion that will meet the requirements of both CEQA and NEPA. A technical
appendix will be part of the EA/IS, and shall include copies of all supporting
documents. In addition to State and Federal requirements, the document will
also conform to specific requirements of CalTrans and FHWA environmental pro-
c~dures, and shall follow the Federal EA format. The Federal EA will be pre-
pared according to procedures described in Volume III of the CalTrans Local
Programs Manual. The EA/IS will describe the purpose and need for the proj-
ect, based on existing and projected traffic volumes, and a review of relevant
planning efforts. The EA/IS will describe specific impacts from the proposed
extension to major topics as follows.
Traffic
The traffic assessment for the EA/IS will discuss the proposed project's
relationship to local and regional transportation plans. Existing travel pat-
terns, traffic volumes {both peak-hour and daily), and forecast future traffic
volumes provided by the Orange County Environmental Management Agency, or the
Cities of Irvine or Tustin, will be discussed in relation to projected capa-
city. These forecast traffic volumes will also be utilized for air quality
and noise assessment.
Land Use
This section will include a description and illustration of existing land
uses within and adjacent to the proposed extension of Myford Road. Euture
uses will be described based on the General Plan, zoning designations, and
proposed development plans. Potential impacts of the project will be
addressed including any changes in operations of existing businesses or
MCAS(H), Tustin. Current land use in the project vicinity consists of
MCAS(H), Marine Corps housing, open space, agricultural production, and light-
industrial/office space.
We will provide a discussion of current policies, land use designations,
and planning programs that have a bearing on the project area, including Tus-
tin's General Plan and the Irvine Business Complex. Proposed land uses in the
area are: manufacturing and research, general commercial, regional commercial,
and speciality commercial. Additionally, residential uses will include
medium-density, medium/high-density, and multi-use projects. Additional mili-
tary housing is also planned between Peters Canyon Wash and Harvard Avenue.
Cultural Resources
LSA's Cultural Resource Division will prepare an Historic Property Survey
within the Myford Road extension project limits. Since the Historic Property
Survey is subject to a separate review process under CalTrans/FHWA procedures,
LSA will not only prepare the report, but will guide it through the review
stages. LSA will actively coordinate with CalTrans/FHWA and the Office of
Historic Preservation to expedite resolution of any sensitive historical
issues.
LSA will conduct a records check to determine whether other archaeolog-
ical, paleontological, or historical resources have been recorded within or
adjacent to the project area. This archival search includes the following
sources: files, site records, and maps housed at the UCLA Archaeological Sur-
vey, the State-recognized clearinghouse for archaeological records for Orange,
Los Angeles, and Ventura Counties; old editions of topographic maps 'housed at
UCLA; and local, State, and National directories of historic· monuments and
landmarks. The National Register of Historic Places and its monthly supple-
ments will be consulted, as well as letter inquiries to the State Office of
Historic Preservation and local historical societies. A paleontological
records check will also be conducted at the Los Angeles County Natural History
Museum.
The lighter-than-air hangars at MCAS(H), listed on the National Register,
will not be impacted by the construction of the proposed arterial highway
since the fence that now runs along the northeastern border of the air station
will be moved, and reestablished to the southwest, directly adjacent to the
proposed alignment.
~. ..No other,hi~tjrical~ archaeological, or cultural properties are expected
to be present within the area of potential impact; however, the alignment has
not been surveyed.. ~ ~ ,,,.. ~..'-.. ~ .
'~ "It'may be ne6essary" to conduct' an in-field'reconnaiss'ance to determine
Whether unrecorded archaeological, historical, or paleontological resources
exist within the project area. Any properties identified as eligible for the
National Register, and which may be affected by the project, will be submitted
for a determination of eligibility. ..~.
In the event that any unknown significant historic resources are found to
be potentially impacted by the project, a Statement of Effects report must be
completed prior to approval of the EA/IS for public review. LSA will prepare
the Statement of effects report for CalTrans/FHWA approval and transmittal to
the National Register in Washinqton, D.C. Should any further documents beyond
the Statement of Effects repor~ be necessary, LSA will provide a scope and
budget for ~hem at a later date.
Flood Risks
Existing information (Flood Insurance Rate Maps) show the project limits
located in and adjacent to 100 to 500-year flood zone {Zone B). A formal
floodplain evaluation will not be necessary, however, since the project is not
located within the lO0-year flood zone (Zone A). Much of the area is unmapped
and, therefore, exact floodplain boundaries are uncertain at this time. It is
known that the floodplain area is a direct result of a combination of inade-
quate channel capacities and substandard bridges that cause constrictions in
Peters Canyon Wash. The document will review existing floodplain conditions
in the project area, and will provide a discussion of impacts.
Water quality
The proposed project would result in the elimination of agricultural
uses, and thus would eliminate those constituents of the agricultural runoff
that contribute to Upper Newport Bay water quality problems. The construc-
tion, however, could produce increased sedimentation for a short period.
Runoff from the roadway itself would contain other types of pollutants {e.g.,
oily substances and heavy metals). These latter pollutants have not been
identified as critical problems in the maintenance of Newport Bay water qual-
ity, and will have a small effect on the watershed as a whole.
Biology
Generally, the project is comprised of cultivated croplands, scattered
residential areas, and light-industrial development. Vegetation has been
transplanted to the area in a variety of field crops, trees, and shrubs.
Secondary noxious weeds are found onsite including Johnson grass, puncture
vine, and nox grass. Other weeds found onsite can be identified as purolane,
lamb's quarter, wire weed, spotted spurge, pigweed, bermuda grass, and tumble-
weed.
The native flora in the area has been heavily impacted, and natural habi-
tat diversity and productivity has been greatly reduced. Croplands are
capable of supporting a relatively small number of wildlife species. These
include several perching birds (startling, mourning dove, western meadowlark,
horned lark, and several sparrow species), and birds of prey (red-tailed hawk,
turkey vulture, and white-tailed kite), few reptiles (gopher snake and side-
blotched lizard), a number of small rodents, and medium-sized man, hals (meadow
mouse, house mouse, beechey ground squirrel, and Audubon cottontail), and an
occasional larger mammalian predator (coyote). The type and number of wild-
life vary with the crop present and the season.
The use of flood control channels and irrigation ditches by wildlife
depends largely on their location, design, substrate, presence or absence of
surface water, and degree and frequency of weed control and silt removal.
Most are dry for the greater part of the year and/or are frequently managed.
Thus, permanent resident wildlife populations are limited. The field review
conducted by CalTrans and FHWA indicated that there are no wetlands within the
project area.
There are no known flora or fauna onsite that could be classified as
endangered species, nor of a character requiring extraordinary precautions to
preserve their habitat.
10
Air Qualit~
The project will improve circulation in the area and improve ambient air
quality due to improved traffic circulation and reduced idling times; however,
the potential for carbon monoxide hotspots will need to be analyzed. This
will be accomplished by analyzing the proposed project and the no-project
alternative for the years 1985 and 2000 using the CALINE3 model. Background
carbon monoxide concentrations will be added to the future estimated emis-
sions. The study will consider regional and local impacts, and short-term
.impacts resulting during construction. Discussion of the project'S consis-
tency with local and regional air quality planning efforts, particularly those
.of the South Coast Air Quality Management Plan, will be included. The EA/IS
willy provide feasible mitigation measures for any identified significant
Visual/Aesthetics ,: '-~: . * ~
:~' The project proposal WOuld result in the Creation of a grade separation
at Moffett Drive. The grade separation embankments may obstruct lateral, views
from military housing units to the northwest, but will not result in any
visual impacts not normally associated with grade separation.~. All other
.~ntersections will be constructed as conventional at-grade facilities.'
WOrse Impact~.
The EA/IS will present a quantitative assessment of acoustical impacts
along the project route. A technical noise study will be included in appendix
form, and major conclusions of the study will be sun~arized in the body of the
EA/IS. The Study will measure existing noise levels as representative sites
along the project route. Noise levels will be quantified in terms of the CNEL
scale (used for Cities of Tustin and Irvine) and Leq (CalTrans/FHWA stan-
dards). Noise impacts will be projected using the FHWA Highway Noise Predic-
tion Model {FHWARD-77-108).
CNEL noise contours will be presented in map form, Showing effects of
existing noise boundaries. Helicopter approaches and landings are existing
noise sources at the project site. AFeI$ of potential noise sensitivity will
be identified, and mitigation measures will be prepared. The study will
identify areas along each alternative where noise barriers will be needed to
comply with City and Federal standards and general height ~requirements of
barriers.
11
Geologic Resources
Southern California is a seismically active region. Earthquakes center-
ing on any of the region's active faults can be expected in the future.
Although no active faults have been mapped in the Irvine area, seismic activ-
ity has been recorded along the Newport/Inglewood fault to the southwest and
the Whittier/Elsinore, San Andreas, and San Jacinto faults to the north and
east. At the eastern portion of the air station, seismically-induced ground
motion and liquefaction can be expected during a seismic event. A detailed
discussion of possible seismic-related occurrences that could impact the area
of the project site will be provided in the document.
Much of the soil within the project site is classified by the Department
of Agriculture as Class I soil that has few limitations restricting agricul-
tural uses. A small portion of soils on the east side of the air base and
east of Harvard Avenue are classified as Class II and III soils which have
moderate and severe limitations restricting certain agricultural uses.
Construction of the roadway will remove some of this land that is cur-
rently in agricultural production. These lands are designated by the U.S.
Soil Conservation Service (SCS) as "prime agricultural soils" due to their
soil characteristics and suitability for agricultural uses. Coordination with
SCS is required and will be conducted by LSA.
Public Utilities and Community Services
LSA will contact the purveyors of community services and public utilities
and identify those agencies or companies responsible for providing service, as
well as the locations and sizes of those facilities. Services and utilities
that will be examined include electricity, natural gas, water, sewers, tele-
phone, schools, police, fire protection, and transit services. It appears
that existing facilities may require relocation, and impacts on those facili-
ties will be identified.
Military Interface
Issues involved with this project that will most likely require special
treatment are possible safety and noise issues related to the height of the
g~ade separation, and potential impacts to aircraft operations and the prox-
imity of military housing. LSA will document these issues, and others that
Mr. Card has developed a thorough knowledge of, in appropriate sections of the
EA/IS.
12
HEARINGS/PUBLIC MEETINGS
LSA is prepared to conduct two public hearings, one public hearing in
each city {Irvine and'Tustin). The services we will assume for these meetings
include public notices, scheduling, and attendance by the project manager (Les
Card). Other personnel will attend hearings as necessary. Should more than
two public hearings be necessary due to unforeseen complications or extension
of the environmental process, we will be willing to modify our scope and bud-
get accordingly.
