Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Award purpose
The project will construct a new Berth 301 at the Port Redwing facility which will connect Berths 300 and 302 with an approximately 1025-foot dock with bulkhead and breasting dolphin.
This will create an approximately 3000 linear foot berth capable of simultaneously docking three of the largest dry bulk multi-purpose cargo vessels that can navigate the newly expanded Big Bend Channel.
Activities to be performed
The project consists of two components with the following elements.
Component 1: Construction administration engineering support oversight during construction inspections materials testing.
Component 2: Construction
Element 1: Bulkhead construction of an approximately 500 LF by 80 LF bulkhead extension west from Berth 302 deploying a pipe Z system with 45 foot design depth alongside.
This creates an approximately 1500 LF wharf and ultimately a 3000-LF berthing area.
Element 2: Breasting infrastructure construction of a high energy absorption fendering system on the new bulkhead while allowing access to the existing apron.
Element 3: Mooring construction of a high wind upland mooring point.
Element 4: Lighting and electrical installation of two navigational lights dock lighting meeting Dark Sky Initiative and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards and electrical service.
Deliverables
Expected outcomes
Performance measure table from Schedule G page 11 of the grant agreement measure vessel calls.
Category and description: Economic competitiveness and opportunity total vessel calls per year.
Measures the number of vessels calling to the project study area.
Must be reported in total and disaggregated by any of the following where applicable: vessel type (e.g., container, bulk, RORO, LNG), freight capacity, vessel length, or other.
Measurement frequency: Quarterly.
Measure cargo volume.
Category and description: Economic competitiveness and opportunity total tons of cargo moved per year (TEUs or short tons).
Cargo volume measures the movement of freight through the project study area.
When applicable, report the total cargo volume and the volume disaggregated by type of freight (i.e., containers in TEU and bulk in tons) or type of intermodal transport (truck or rail).
Measurement frequency: Quarterly.
