The City of Newport Beach is seeking qualified providers to conduct a comprehensive survey of shallow-water eelgrass (Zostera marina) in Newport Harbor in 2026, as mandated by its Regional General Permit 54. The survey will assess eelgrass distribution across three designated zones based on historical presence and abundance levels, providing critical data to determine allowable temporary impacts from maintenance dredging activities during the 2027–2028 period. This biennial assessment is essential for tracking long-term trends and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements tied to eelgrass protection. The survey results will directly inform permit decisions and management strategies for the harbor’s submerged aquatic vegetation. In addition to eelgrass monitoring, the City must address the ongoing infestation of Caulerpa prolifera, an invasive alga first detected in the harbor in 2021, which has classified Newport Harbor as an infested system until complete eradication is achieved. The City actively participates in the Southern California Caulerpa Action Team, coordinating with state and federal agencies to implement regular surveys and removal efforts in alignment with the Caulerpa Control Protocol. All proposals must adhere to strict submission guidelines, including a firm deadline of June 8, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., with no tolerance for late submissions due to technical issues. No fee schedules are to be included in responses, and electronic submission is required unless prior arrangements are made with the RFP Administrator for hard copy delivery. Inquiries may be directed to Chris Miller at the Public Works Department.

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.
