I. Statement of Understanding
As part of its 2C Ranch Habitat Restoration project, the City of San Juan Capistrano requires project
maintenance services to ensure that the habitat restoration site is kept free of non-native weeds, that all
irrigation systems are properly working or repaired as needed, that recent plantings/seedings are receiving
adequate care, and that the site is maintained in a clean and safe manner for the public
II. Project Description
The project area is within the San Juan Creek Watershed downstream of the Trabuco tributary from Rancho
Viejo Road to just east of Alipaz Road. The project area is linear, meandering approximately 2 miles in length
from the northeast to the southwest end of the project boundaries. The area has experienced substantial
invasion by non-native species, but the preceding 2 years of removal have significantly reduced populations
and revegetation efforts are currently underway. The project area is 54.25 acres.
Invasive Removal
For a period of two years, the invasive removal scope would be to remove all existing or newly germinated
non-native species from the entire project area. Invasive removal would include approximately 40 acres of
upland habitat and 13 acres of riparian habitat along the creek.
The majority of non-native species will be removed manually via hand loppers, weed trimmers, machetes and
chain saws. Arundo biomass will be stockpiled for chipping and reused as mulch within site trails, and/or
hauled off site for disposal. Most shrub and tree biomass will be chipped and used as mulch within the site,
with the exception of any non-native seed -bearing vegetation, which will be fully disposed of off-site. Permit -
approved herbicides may be used to aid invasive removal efforts, in coordination with the Project Manager.
Particular care will be given to ensure native species, including new plantings/seedlings, are not damaged by
weed removal efforts.
Maintenance and Repair of Irrigation System
OCCC installed the extensive irrigation currently in use on the site. Accordingly, crews have intimate
knowledge of its workings. As part of the scope of work, OCCC will continually monitor, maintain and repair (as
needed) the irrigation system to ensure full functionality and performance.
The irrigation system will be regularly reviewed to monitor line breaks or clogs, to ensure proper coverage of
revegetation areas and to adjust spray patterns, controllers and schedules as needed to ensure revegetation
success. OCCC is aware that the cost of irrigation repair materials will be paid for by the City outside of this
habitat maintenance contract; however, our scope does include all labor costs to fulfill oversight, testing,
maintenance and repair of the irrigation system on an ongoing basis.

Page 3
Limited Planting of Native Species
Maintenance of a weed and trash -free site, as well as ongoing oversight of the irrigation system, will be the
primary scope of work. However, on occasion OCCC crews will conduct limited planting of native species in
order to remedy any poorly -performing revegetation areas or to enhance the density and biodiversity of
certain portions of the site. Planting work will be coordinated by the Project Manager, Derek Ostensen and
Associates.
Maintenance of a Clean and Safe Work Site
OCCC crews will continually remove any trash, debris or other unwarranted material on site. Crews will also
clearly mark and flag any safety hazards to avoid public danger and will promptly remedy any such unsafe
conditions, including but not limited to ruts/holes in the trail, fallen tree branches, or debris piles.
General Hest Management Practices for Restoration Crews:
• The Project Manager, Derek Ostensen and Associates, will oversee all crew efforts to ensure low -impact
work methods are implemented, including access points, species avoidance, staging areas, and water
quality protection.
• Particular caution will be given to maintaining a safe work site for any nearby public, including hikers,
equestrians, mountain bikers, and other open space users.
• Only one crew will operate at a given site at a time (sites are separated on different areas of the creek).
• The size of a single crew working in a sensitive habitat area will not exceed 14 individuals.
• Herbicide and refueling will occur only at staging areas, which are located along roads or on degraded
areas with no native vegetation. Compacted dirt lots, road shoulders, and old disturbed sites are typically
the type of areas that are used for staging.
• All regulations involving use of herbicides will be followed including BMP's. Aquatic herbicide
formulations will be used when near open water and licensed Qualified Applicators will coordinate all
herbicide application. A marking dye will be used to assure that drift or overspray onto non -target
vegetation is not occurring.
Mowing:
• Mowing will be limited due to access, topography and the existing irrigation system. During mowing, a
fixed tooth or hammer flail mowing attachment will be mounted on a tractor. The mowing attachment
will mulch non-native species into a layer about 1-2" thick. The mowing attachment and tractor do not
dig into the soil surface or change topography of the site. All tractors are rubber tired or rubber tracked.
• No native vegetation will be mowed.
www.hireyouth.org
Page 4
- No mowing will occur in the stream channel.
- No mulched/mowed biomass will be placed in the stream channel.
- All mowed arundo material will be placed over previously existing stands of Arundo. No open habitat or
native vegetation will be covered with mowed Arundo mulch. No mowed Arundo mulch shall be placed
over previously existing stands of Arundo if there is a likelihood that such material could enter creek flows
or other sensitive habitat areas.
Revegetation/Native Planting
• The Project Manager will coordinate all planting efforts pursuant to the approved Restoration Plan for
the project and site conditions. The Project Manager will conduct a pre -installation seeding and container
plant training for crews to ensure crew consistency in all methods. The Project Manager will schedule and
oversee all re -vegetation efforts.
• Broadcast seed will occur by raking the soil into small furrows, spreading a native seed mix as delineated
in the approved Restoration Plan for the project, and tamping the soil to create an effective seed -soil
interface. Broadcast seed will be applied in areas where invasive species have been substantially reduced
and where site conditions pose a strong likelihood of revegetation success.
- Container plantings will be installed in a layout as defined by the Project Manager, pursuant to the
approved Restoration Plan. Container plantings will be watered by crews via the supplemental irrigation
system on a regular schedule, adjusted for seasonal weather events as appropriate.
Maintenance. Between March 1P and September 15th
- Avian monitors may be used as requested or needed to ensure species avoidance during the avian
breeding season. Avian monitors will aid crews in adhering to species avoidance measures and permit
requirements, while allowing application of herbicide and low -impact maintenance work.
- No powered equipment may be used in the creek portions of the restoration site (with the exception of
watering and herbicide treatments with manually -powered or silent pumps) unless otherwise approved
by the Project Manager.
III. Project Benefits
Because non-native species alter ecosystem dynamics and interrupt and redirect native succession, the removal of
non-native species from the 2C Ranch Habitat Restoration offers numerous direct and indirect benefits. These
benefits include reduction in risk of flooding and fire, improvements in species abundance, increased water
conservation, improvement of public open space assets, and restoration of habitat for native wildlife, including
several threatened and endangered species.
The site's native vegetation serves as critical habitat for many state and federally -listed threatened and
endangered species. As areas of non-native species are removed and converted back to native habitat, rare species
vwvw.nireyouth.org
4
Page 5
will be able to expand their populations. In addition, ongoing removal of thousands of pounds of illegally -dumped
debris from the site allows greater public access to and enjoyment of the project site.
IV. Project Approach
OCCC staff and restoration crews will work closely with City staff and the Project Manager, Derek Ostensen and
Associates, to establish mutually agreed upon work schedules, access plans through sensitive areas, reporting
guidelines and work methodologies for the project. OCCCs efforts will adhere to City requirements and the 2C
Ranch Habitat Restoration Plan, as well as to established guidelines from existing agency permits for the project
and OCTA/HCF/Caltrans funding.
V. Project Work Plan
Work Item 1: Contracts and Permits
1.1 OCCC shall execute all appropriate contract and insurance documentation pursuant to City contracting
requirements.
1.2 All wildlife agency permit requirements will be met.
Work Item 2: Work to be Performed
2.1 Comprehensive removal of all non-native species throughout project area over two year period, including
any related equipment, herbicide and labor methods.
2.2 Complete oversight, maintenance and repair of site's irrigation system over two year period.
2.3 Limited revegetation of native species via broadcast seed, cuttings and container plantings. Maintenance
of new plantings as needed to ensure seed germination and plant survival.
2.4 Maintenance and care of all planting/seeding performed throughout the site by OCCC and other planting
contractors.
Work Item 3: Schedule
3.1 It is anticipated that a daily, year-round crew of 7 Corps Members and a Supervisor would be present over
the two year duration of the scope of work. Maintenance tasks would shift daily according to the direction
of the Project Manager and ongoing site conditions; however, weed removal and irrigation
maintenance/oversight will likely comprise 90% of each day's tasks. The remaining 10% would comprise
planting/seeding and trash/debris cleanup.
3.2 In addition to the year-round crew, additional crews would occasionally work on the site, depending on
site conditions. For example, 2-3 times per year, OCCCs herbicide spray truck and crew would visit the
site to conduct any herbicide application needed.

Agend ort
TO: Karen P. Brust, City n
FROM: Grant Taylor, Development Services Director
Prepared by: William -A. Ramsey, AICP, Assistant Development Services
Director
DATE: February 5, 2013
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Personal Services Agreement with the Orange County
Conservation Corps (OCCC) for the Provision of Services Related to the
2C Ranch/Trabuco Creek Habitat Restoration Plan (CIP 11204, 11205,
11206, and 13201).
RECOMMENDATION:
By motion; approve a Personal Services Agreement with the Orange County
Conservation Corps (OCCC) for invasive plant removal and habitat restoration
maintenance work on the 2C Ranch/Trabuco Creek Habitat Restoration Project at a
cost not to exceed $210,440.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City has solicited and received a proposal from OCCC for the invasive plant
removal and habitat restoration maintenance work required for the 2C Ranch-Trabuco
Creek Habitat Restoration Project. The habitat restoration plan, prepared by Derek
Ostensen & Associates, the City's open space and conservation consultant, has been
prepared to comply with the implementation requirements of several grant award
funding sources the City has recently secured.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a Personal Services Agreement with
OCCC to be fully funded with Measure M, Caltrans Cooperative, and Habitat
Conservation Fund (HCF) Grant monies with no City funds to be used (see Attachment
1, Personal Services Agreement with OCCC).
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
In September 2010, the OCTA Board awarded the City of San Juan Capistrano a habitat
restoration grant of $1.5 million for the 2C Ranch/Trabuco Creek Habitat Restoration
Area. The OCTA award is supplemented by a 2009 HCF program grant of $100,000, a
2010 HCF program grant of $99,925 and a $150,000 Caltrans Cooperative Agreement.
City Council Agenda Report
February 5, 2013
Page 2 of 3
The multiple funding sources supporting implementation of the 2C Ranch/Trabuco
Creek Habitat Restoration Plan provide substantial open space benefits including
improvement of public trails, enhancement of open space viewsheds, removal of
significant litter and debris from public wilderness areas, increased wildlife and
biodiversity and the improvement of water quality and sensitive natural resources.
OCCC, a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 1993, is a voluntary work and learn program
that provides opportunities for at -risk and disadvantaged youths, age from 18 to 25. The
OCCC program gives corps members a chance to earn a living while learning valuable
employment skills through job training and attending the on-site charter school to earn
their high school diploma. OCCC's approach to employability teaches teamwork and
cooperation by using work projects that are beneficial to the community and the
environment and by creating an atmosphere where corps members have the chance to
develop on an educational, professional, and personal level.
Because OCCC is a not-for-profit organization, it is exempt from the State's competitive
bid selection process and from the requirement to pay prevailing wages. Also, OCCC
has the ability to secure matching grants for the work they perform. In conjunction with
this contract, OCCC has secured a $348,800 "Workforce Development Grant" from the
State of California which will allow them to provide $559,240 in services for this project
at a cost of $210,440. Consequently, OCCC's non-profit status results in a considerably
reduced cost for the work they perform when compared to private contractors.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This work will be solely funded using grant awards that the City has secured and will
require no expenditure of City funds. Project funding is being provided by a $1,500,000
Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Environmental Mitigation Program
(EMP) grant, a $150,000 Cooperative Agreement with Caltrans, a $100,000 California
2009 Habitat Conservation Fund (HCF) grant, and a $99,925 California 2010 HCF grant
with costs allocated as follows:

OCCC has executed multiple projects of a similar nature
throughout Orange County.
We sincerely appreciate your interest in partnering with
OCCC. Founded in 1993, OCCC is a private non-profit 501(c)
(3) organization funded by grants, work contracts,
donations and contributions. OCCC serves young adults
who need support in the transition from adolescence to
adult employability by providing work projects that benefit
the community while instilling a work ethic and a sense of
public service. In many cases, OCCC provides the first paid

Statement of Understanding
As part of its 2C Ranch Habitat Restoration project, the City of San Juan Capistrano requires project
maintenance services to ensure that the habitat restoration site is kept free of non-native weeds, that all
irrigation systems are properly working or repaired as needed, that recent plantings/seedings are receiving
adequate care, and that the site is maintained in a clean and safe manner for the public
Project Description
The project area is within the San Juan Creek Watershed downstream of the Trabuco tributary from Rancho
Viejo Road to just east of Alipaz Road. The project area is linear, meandering approximately 2 miles in length
from the northeast to the southwest end of the project boundaries. The area has experienced substantial
invasion by non-native species, but the preceding 2 years of removal have significantly reduced populations
and revegetation efforts are currently underway. The project area is 54.25 acres.
Invasive Removal
For a period of two years, the invasive removal scope would be to remove all existing or newly germinated
non-native species from the entire project area. Invasive removal would include approximately 40 acres of
upland habitat and 13 acres of riparian habitat along the creek.
The majority of non-native species will be removed manually via hand loppers, weed trimmers, machetes and
chain saws. Arundo biomass will be stockpiled for chipping and reused as mulch within site trails, and/or
hauled off site for disposal. Most shrub and tree biomass will be chipped and used as mulch within the site,
with the exception of any non-native seed -bearing vegetation, which will be fully disposed of off-site. Permit -
approved herbicides may be used to aid invasive removal efforts, In coordination with the Project Manager,
Particular care will be given to ensure native species, including new plantings/seedlings, are not damaged by
weed removal efforts.
Maintenance and Repair of Irrigation System
OCCC installed the extensive irrigation currently in use on the site. Accordingly, crews have intimate
knowledge of its workings. As part of the scope of work, OCCC will continually monitor, maintain and repair (as
needed) the irrigation system to ensure full functionality and performance.
The irrigation system will be regularly reviewed to monitor line breaks or clogs, to ensure proper coverage of
revegetation areas and to adjust spray patterns, controllers and schedules as needed to ensure revegetation
success. OCCC is aware that the cost of Irrigation repair materials will be paid for by the City outside of this
habitat maintenance contract; however, our scope does include all labor costs to fulfill oversight, testing,
maintenance and repair of the irrigation system on an ongoing basis.
Page 3
Limited Planting of Native Species
Maintenance of a weed and trash -free site, as well as ongoing oversight of the irrigation system, will be the
primary scope of work. However, on occasion OCCC crews will conduct limited planting of native species in
order to remedy any poorly -performing revegetation areas or to enhance the density and biodiversity of
certain portions of the site. Planting work will be coordinated by the Project Manager, Derek Ostensen and
Associates.
Maintenance of a Clean and Safe Work Site
OCCC crews will continually remove any trash, debris or other unwarranted material on site. Crews will also
clearly mark and flag any safety hazards to avoid public danger and will promptly remedy any such unsafe
conditions, including but not limited to ruts/holes in the trail, fallen tree branches, or debris piles.
General Best Management Practices JarBestorntion Crews:
• The Project Manager, Derek Ostensen and Associates, will oversee all crew efforts to ensure low -impact
work methods are implemented, including access points, species avoidance, staging areas, and water
quality protection.
• Particular caution will be given to maintaining a safe work site for any nearby public, including hikers,
equestrians, mountain bikers, and other open space users.
• Only one crew will operate at a given site at a time (sites are separated on different areas of the creekj.
• The size of a single crew working in a sensitive habitat area will not exceed 14 individuals.
• Herbicide and refueling will occur only at staging areas, which are located along roads or on degraded
areas with no native vegetation. Compacted dirt lots, road shoulders, and old disturbed sites are typically
the type of areas that are used for staging.
• All regulations involving use of herbicides will be followed including BMP's. Aquatic herbicide
formulations will be used when near open water and licensed Qualified Applicators will coordinate all
herbicide application. A marking dye will be used to assure that drift or overspray onto non -target
vegetation is not occurring.
Mowing:
• Mowing will be limited due to access, topography and the existing irrigation system. During mowing, a
fixed tooth or hammer flail mowing attachment will be mounted on a tractor. The mowing attachment
will mulch non-native species into a layer about 1-2" thick. The mowing attachment and tractor do not
dig into the soil surface or change topography of the site. All tractors are rubber tired or rubber tracked.
• No native vegetation will be mowed.

• No mowing will occur in the stream channel.
• No mulched/mowed biomass will be placed in the stream channel.
• All mowed arundo material will be placed over previously existing stands of Arundo. No open habitat or
native vegetation will be covered with mowed Arundo mulch. No mowed Arundo mulch shall be placed
over previously existing stands of Arundo if there Is a likelihood that such material could enter creek flows
or other sensitive habitat areas.
Bevegetatlan/Native planting
• The Project Manager will coordinate all planting efforts pursuant to the approved Restoration Plan for
the project and site conditions. The Project Manager will conduct a pre -installation seeding and container
plant training for crews to ensure crew consistency in all methods. The Project Manager will schedule and
oversee all re -vegetation efforts.
• Broadcast seed will occur by raking the soil Into small furrows, spreading a native seed mix as delineated
in the approved Restoration Plan for the project, and tamping the soil to create an effective seed -soil
interface. Broadcast seed will be applied in areas where invasive species have been substantially reduced
and where site conditions pose a strong likelihood of revegetation success.
• Container plantings will be installed in a layout as defined by the Project Manager, pursuant to the
approved Restoration Plan. Container plantings will be watered by crews via the supplemental irrigation
system on a regular schedule, adjusted for seasonal weather events as appropriate.
Maintenance: Between March 15ih and September 15th
• Avian monitors may be used as requested or needed to ensure species avoidance during the avian
breeding season. Avian monitors will aid crews in adhering to species avoidance measures and permit
requirements, while allowing application of herbicide and lowimpactmaintenance work.
• No powered equipment may be used in the creek portions of the restoration site (with the exception of
watering and herbicide treatments with manually -powered or silent pumps) unless otherwise approved
by the Project Manager.
III. Project Benefits
Because non-native species alter ecosystem dynamics and interrupt and redirect native succession, the removal of
non-native species from the 2C Ranch Habitat Restoration offers numerous direct and Indirect benefits. These
benefits include reduction in risk of flooding and fire, improvements in species abundance, increased water
conservation, improvement of public open space assets, and restoration of habitat for native wildlife, including
several threatened and endangered species.
The site's native vegetation serves as critical habitat for many state and federally -listed threatened and
endangered species. As areas of non-native species are removed and converted back to native habitat, rare species
