AI Contract Overview
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.
