AI Contract Overview

The City of Newport Beach is seeking proposals for a biennial survey of shallow-water eelgrass (Zostera marina) within Newport Harbor, California, as required under its Regional General Permit 54 (RGP 54). The harbor is divided into three zones based on eelgrass presence and abundance, each permitted limited temporary impacts from routine dredging activities annually. The 2026 survey aims to accurately map and quantify the distribution of shallow-water eelgrass across the entire harbor, informing allowable impact levels for the next two-year period starting in 2027. This comprehensive assessment is critical for monitoring long-term trends and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. Additionally, the harbor is designated an “infested system” due to the presence of the invasive alga Caulerpa prolifera, first found in 2021. The City actively participates in the Southern California Caulerpa Action Team (SCCAT), a collaborative effort among multiple agencies to manage and eradicate Caulerpa through ongoing surveys and removal efforts. Proposers should note that consultant fee schedules are not to be submitted with their responses. The City disclaims liability for any delays or technical issues affecting proposal submissions, making it the proposer’s responsibility to ensure timely receipt before the June 8, 2026 deadline. Contact details are provided for confirmation of proposal receipt and to arrange alternative submission methods if electronic submission is not possible. The contract involves the Public Works Department of Newport Beach and requires the contractor to conduct the eelgrass survey in accordance with the detailed scope of services outlined by the City.

Full Description

Scope: The City of Newport Beach (City) is requesting proposals to survey shallow-water (Zostera marina) eelgrass within Newport Harbor in Newport Beach, California. The City is required to survey shallow-water eelgrass distribution in the harbor every two years. Shallow-water eelgrass is surveyed within three zones (based on eelgrass presence and variation in overall abundance). Under the City’s Regional General Permit 54 (RGP 54), each zone is allowed small amounts of temporary eelgrass impacts every year resulting from routine maintenance dredging activities. Every two years, a comprehensive harbor-wide survey is conducted to track eelgrass distribution in relation to these established zones and to assess long-term eelgrass trends within the Harbor. Therefore, the objective of the 2026 eelgrass survey is to provide a depiction and quantification of shallow-water eelgrass within the Harbor. This detailed assessment will directly influence the allowable temporary impact amounts under the City’s RGP 54 for the three zones for the next two-year period beginning in 2027. Additionally, Caulerpa taxifolia is an invasive green alga that was eradicated from two California locations after it was discovered in 2000. Following these events, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and NOAA Fisheries developed the Caulerpa Control Protocol . Caulerpa prolifera was found in 2021 in Newport Harbor, so the harbor is therefore considered an “infested system” until eradication is achieved. The City participates in the Southern California Caulerpa Action Team (SCCAT) composed of representative local, state, and federal agencies to effectively manage the infestation by implementing surveys and removing Caulerpa from the system.
Please see the Scope of Services document for the full scope of services.
