GEI Consultants | City of Sunny Isles Beach | RFQ 26-07-01 66 <br />Municipal Fish Pier Rehabilitation <br /> Rockland, Maine | City of Rockland <br />The Rockland Fish Pier is an essential piece of Rockland’s working <br />waterfront. The Fish Pier supports commercial fishing vessels from Rockland <br />and beyond as a location for loading of gear and bait, unloading of catch, <br />short-term tie-up for repairs, and other critical water-dependent uses. GEI <br />worked with the City of Rockland to improve functionality of the pier through <br />structural upgrades to the pier and dredging of the adjacent harbor. <br />Water depths around the existing pier were insuff icient to support use through the full tide <br />range by the fleet of vessels that use the facility. In the first phase of the project, completed in <br />2022-2023, dredging was performed on the north and south sides of the pier to improve water <br />depth to a design depth of 9 feet mean lower low water (MLLW). Approximately 3,000 cubic yards <br />of sediment was dredged by mechanical methods and transported to the federally licensed <br />Rockland Disposal Site for ocean disposal. An additional 325 cubic yards of rock was removed in <br />shallow areas near small craft floats to improve access at low tide. <br />In addition, there are several structural issues with the pier that impact the ability of fishermen <br />to eff ectively use the structure. The pier deck surface was in poor condition and has issues with <br />recurring potholes. The fender pile system was also in poor condition. In 2023-2024, a second <br />phase was undertaken that consists of replacement of 73 fender piles, 5 floating camels, 4 <br />ladders, and repair to damaged wales and chocks within the fender system. Future phases will <br />also address needs for repairs to the pier deck and utility systems. <br />GEI’s scope of work included condition assessment, hydrographic survey, design for multiple <br />phases of the project, permitting for structural repairs and dredging, and construction <br />administration services. <br />DATES <br />2020-2024 <br />Original Schedule: Phase 1 <br />dredging: 2022–2023; Phase <br />2 fender system replacement <br />and repairs: 2024 <br />Actual Schedule: <br />Phase 1 completed in 2023; <br />Phase 2 completed in 2024 <br />FEES <br />Phase I: $600,000 <br />CLIENT REFERENCE <br />TOM LUTTRELL <br />City Manager <br />City of Rockland <br />207.593.0636 <br />tluttrell@rocklandmaine.gov <br />KEY ELEMENTS <br />• Dredging <br />• State and Federal <br />Permitting <br />• Hydrographic Survey <br />• Condition Assessment <br />• Pier Upgrades <br />• Utility Upgrades <br />• Fender System Design <br />• Seawall Reconstruction <br />• Planning for Phased <br />Implementation
