Title
RESOLUTION BY A 4/5 VOTE RATIFYING THE EMERGENCY ACTION TAKEN BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND AUTHORIZING CONTINUED ACTION FOR THE EMERGENCY MARINE FENDER REPLACEMENT AT BROADWAY PIER INCLUDING PROCUREMENT OF CONSULTANT FOR INVESTIGATING THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE, PROVIDING DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REPAIR AND COST, AND PROCUREMENT OF A CONTRACTOR TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE
Body
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On June 25, 2018, while the 499-feet long vessel Golden Bear was pulling into the Broadway Pier's north side, it made direct contact to a single Yokohama fender which overloaded the supporting marine fender system. The accident caused severe structural damage to the timber fender piles, timber walers and connecting hardware and warranted a temporary closure of Broadway Pier to berthing ships. Urgent repair is required to restore structural integrity to the marine fender elements and reinstate safe landing at Broadway Pier. Furthermore, in order to accommodate the 2018-2019 Cruise Ship Season Calls, an expeditious repair is essential.
Pursuant to Public Contracting Code Section 22035 and 22050, Section 58 of the Port Act, and Board Resolution 2000-03, the Executive Director declared an emergency on August 2, 2018 and authorized the immediate execution of contracts to investigate, quantify, and repair the damage to protect District owned property. The declaration of an emergency waives the necessity of formal bidding procedures for contracts exceeding $175,000 as required by the State of California Public Contract Code; the Board is requested to consider this action. Pursuant to Board Resolution 2000- 03, a 4/5 affirmative vote of the Board is required.
