Body
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This action will authorize an as needed agreement for professional services to provide marine fender repair services. These services are expected to extend the life of existing marine fenders, reduce waste and decreasing the need for new fenders at Cruise Ship Terminal (CST), National City Marine Terminal (NCMT) and Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal (TAMT), and result in cost savings for the District.
Marine fenders provide protection for ships, docks, piers, and wharves, by absorbing the energy of the moving ship during arrival, tidal fluctuations, and sailing. The cost of a new fender is approximately $ 22,000, with a minimum three (3) months of manufacturing time, and a life span of ten (10) years. A fender repair has a cost estimate of approximately $12,500, with a minimum two (2) week repair time, and approximately another ten (10) years of life. The fender repair eliminates the cost of break down, disposal, and the impact to local landfills.
This agreement allows for flexible management of marine fenders across the district's berths and piers. Leading to optimal berth readiness and response times for fender replacement.
Pursuant to BPC Policy No. 110, the District issued RFB 22-12MA on June 2, 2022. The District received one (1) responsive bid. Based upon the bid received, staff determined Urethan Products Corporation to be able to perform the services solicited. Upon board approval, an agreement (Attachment A) with this firm is recommended as follows:
