  1. Port of Redwood City, CA Marine Terminal Plan

  2. Background and Need • BACKGROUND • The Port of Redwood City plays a key role in Bay area Port infrastructure system • Experiencing steady cargo growth, specifically related to dry bulk cargoes • Nearly 2.0 Million tons per year handled in FY2005 • It is anticipated growth and demand will continue into the future • Reliability and stability of Port facilities critical to sustaining operations and attracting new tenants that will foster continued growth Wharves 3 and 4 SIMS Metal Wharves 1 and 2 HS&G/CEMEX Yard

  3. Background and Need • NEED for MARINE TERMINAL PLAN • Focus for Marine Terminal Plan is the redevelopment of Wharves 1 and 2 • Wharves 1 and 2 are critical to present and future cargo activity at the Port • Berth conflicts between Wharves 1 and 2 and the cement berth demand attention. Need to partially accommodate two ships simultaneously to increase efficiency and berth capacity. • Wharves 1 and 2 present condition: • Timber construction, original wharf constructed in 1937 • Several Wharf and Transit Shed expansion projects since inception • Extensive repairs, upgrades and replacements to pile system completed in 1979 • Wharf system now significantly deteriorated; in need of replacement • Piles support system suspect – no known inspections or upgrades since 1979 project, • Timber deck worn and considered unsafe for vehicle traffic in many areas, • Timber vehicle approach ramp and access walkway are deteriorated and not functional, • Timber fender system collapsing and inadequate for vessel berthing, and • Flooding under landward seawall prevalent at high tides.

  4. Marine Terminal Plan Three-Phase Approach • Phase 1 – Completed October 3, 2005 Objective: Review cargo data and Port physical layout to determine the best use for Wharves 1 and 2 within the framework of the overall Port. • Phase 2 – Completed November 16, 2005 Objective: Develop an efficient, cost effective and constructible Marine Terminal Plan that responds to the best current and projected use identified for Wharves 1 and 2. • Phase 3 – Completed February 28, 2006 Objective: Further expand the Phase 2 conceptual plans and cost estimate and provide a plan for moving forward with the redevelopment project.

  5. Marine Terminal Plan ELEMENTS OF THE PLAN • Wharf Redevelopment Plan • Demolition plan and recommendations • Interim Conveyor Plan – relocate ship receiving hopper away from cement berth • Site Development Plan • Raze Warehouse #1 and realign HS&G/CEMEX lease area to provide the Port with additional land for future development opportunities • Environmental and Permitting Review • Cost Estimates • Project Schedules

  6. Wharf Redevelopment Plan • Concrete pile supported concrete platform, 60’ wide x 490’ long (nominal) • 500psf design deck load • Two approach trestles/ramps • Walkways between existing monopile fender dolphins

  7. Wharf Redevelopment Plan • Combination barge/ship fenders spaced along length of proposed wharf • Elevation to match existing timber wharf, slope access ramps to existing grade • Storm water runoff contained on wharf and directed to land along access ramps • Repair/replace landward seawall

  8. Demolition Plan • Recommend complete removal of existing timber wharf system • Overall, long term cost savings for demolition • Maintenance cost savings related to retaining deteriorating structures • Existing wharf stability is suspect, safety issues • Environmental benefit of removing old, creosote impregnated piles and deteriorating timber platform

  9. Interim Conveyor Plan • Relocate ship-unloading operations away from RMC/CEMEX • Demolition of Warehouse #1 NOT required • Realignment/modifications to HS&G/CEMEX yard NOT required • Low cost solution to help (partially) mitigate berth conflict issues • May initially utilize portable equipment on existing wharf, prior to reconstruction • Viable alternative for permanent system if HS&G/CEMEX does not realign yard

  10. Preferred Marine Terminal Plan

  11. Environmental & Permitting Review Bay Fill Mitigation Strategy (Demolition & Construction) • BCDC will require mitigation to offset any new construction • Removal off all existing structures are proposed to mitigate proposed construction; remainder will establish a mitigation bank • Can not lock in ratio of mitigation credit to new/proposed fill elsewhere in the Port NEPA/CEQA Process • One joint NEPA/CEQA document will be prepared • NEPA: National Environmental Policy Act • CEQA: California Environmental Quality Act • NEPA/CEQA review will require studies of impacts including: • Cultural resources, Air Quality, Biological resources, Traffic • Warehouse #1 may be eligible to be listed as a historic resource under CEQA • Demolition of Warehouse #1 could potentially effect the level of environmental documentation • Potential Project Construction Permits identified and listed in Report • Potential Terminal Operating Permits identified and listed in Report

  12. Cost Estimates Environmental Document Preparation: • Historic Evaluation of Warehouse #1: $10,000 to $12,000 • EA/ND: $85,000 • EIS/EIR: $190,000 Wharf Redevelopment Plan: • Wharf with complete demolition: $15,329,000 • Wharf with partial demolition: $12,782,000 • Costs shown include: • Demolition and removal of existing timber structures • Pile supported concrete platform with two approach trestles • Fender elements, bollards and other hardware • Line handler walkways between existing breasting dolphins • Electrical power distribution system upgrades • Contractor mob/demob, project administration, overhead & profit • Expenses for bonds, engineering, testing, inspection, construction management • 15% allowance for contingency

  13. Cost Estimates Site Redevelopment Plan: • Landside infrastructure improvements: $996,000 • Cost includes: • Demolition and removal Warehouse #1 and foundations • Removal of existing rail adjacent to Wharves 1 and 2 • Improved access road adjacent to waterfront • Rail crossing and intersection improvements at Hinman Road • Longshoremen/Stevedore’s building with paved parking area • Service improvements including electrical, communications, potable water, sewer and drainage • Contractor overhead & profit • Expenses for bonds, engineering, testing, inspection, construction management • 15% allowance for contingency • Cost excludes: • Purchase and installation of new hopper and conveyor system • Realignment of HS&G/CEMEX storage yard; relocation of existing equipment • Soil improvements, if required to accommodate new stockpile location

  14. Project Schedule DESIGN-BID-BUILD vs. DESIGN-BUILD: • The Port may opt to follow either contracting method • Design-Bid-Build: • Port advertises for and selects an A/E Firm to design the project • Second advertisement and selection for a contractor to build the project using A/E Firm’s plans and specifications • Traditional contracting method • A/E Firm works for Port and Port has more input into details of design • Design-Build: • Port advertises for and selects an A/E-Contractor team to design and construct the project • Generally results in an overall reduction in project cost and shorter schedule to delivery • Disputes between A/E Firm and Contractor eliminated • Has recently become the contracting method of choice for many owners RECOMMENDATION: • Overall cost difference between contracting methods not substantial • If project timeline is critical factor, recommend Design-Build contract

  15. Project Schedule OVERALL PROJECT SCHEDULE: Time-line from the start of Environmental Documents to completion: • Design-Bid-Build contract: 30 to 33 months (EA/ND or EIS/EIR) • Design-Build contract: 24 to 27 months ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS and PERMITTING: • Historic Evaluation of Warehouse #1: 2 months • Following Historic Evaluation, level of Environmental Documentation determined • EA/ND: 6 months • EIS/EIR: 9 months • Permitting follows Environmental Document: 5.5 months

  16. Project Schedule

  17. Project Execution Plan WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? • Work with HS&G/CEMEX to install temporary system to relocate ship unloading operations closer to Wharf 2 and away from RMC/CEMEX cement wharf. • Perform Economic Evaluation/Impact Analysis of wharf replacement • Phased construction planning is possible • Initiate Warehouse #1 Historic Review • Results of assessment will determine the level of NEPA/CEQA review • Prepare Environmental Document(s) • Prepare RFP documents to advertise and select a Design/Design-Build Contractor to initiate project design and construction
