Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Award Purpose
The project consists of installing more than 1000 feet of new floating dock and supporting access utility and safety infrastructure within the existing harbor.
The project will complete the Aleutians East Borough's long-term efforts to fully build out the community's harbor.
Activities to be performed
The project consists of installing more than 1000 feet of new floating dock and supporting access utility and safety infrastructure within the existing harbor.
The floating dock consists of installing a new prefabricated treated timber floating dock within the existing harbor in addition to in-water and upland improvements.
The project includes furnishing and installing the floats, trestle, gangway, and landing float, furnishing and driving steel piles, installing potable water systems, and installing fire protection, electrical lighting, cathodic protection, and other safety systems.
Constructing the floating dock will bring the facility to full utilization and double its capacity, increasing moorage space in the harbor from 254 lineal feet (LF) to roughly 1308 LF for vessels of all sizes.
The project consists of two components.
Component 1: Construction management
All activities to review bids and award the construction contract and contractor procurement and submittals.
Construction phase services, technical support during construction, and construction contract closeout activities (e.g., responding to RFIs, verifying as-constructed red line drawings, etc.).
All project closeout activities.
Component 2: Sand Point floating dock installation and construction
Installation of a float system referred to as FLOAT A, which will be prefabricated and Americans with Disabilities (ADA) compliant for vessel moorage.
The float will consist of individual float sections.
Materials include treated timber decking and plastic flotation material connected into a single system.
The float system will be about 12 feet (FT) wide and about 1054 LF long.
The float system will be secured with up to 92 new galvanized steel pipe piles up to 24 inches in diameter or less, including all piles to also support access trestle and gangway.
Installation of three prefabricated transformer floats about 12 FT long by 6 FT wide to support the electrical system upgrades for the main float.
Installation of a prefabricated aluminum gangway about 80 FT long by 6 FT wide for float access.
Installation of a new prefabricated ADA compliant gangway landing float about 20 FT long and 20 FT wide for float access, secured by up to two new galvanized steel pipe piles 24 inches in diameter or less to stabilize the float.
Construction of a treated timber decked steel pile supported access trestle from the top of the existing harbor bulkhead wall to the gangway.
The trestle deck will be 30 FT long by 20 FT wide.
Up to 15 cubic yards (CY) of existing rock rip rap along the shoreline may need to be moved to the side, reworked, and possibly replaced (with up to 5 CY of clean rock) once the trestle support piles have been installed.
Approximately 20 CY of fill will be placed in the uplands above the high tide line (HTL) to grade the approach to the new trestle.
Power and lighting cables will run from the new access trestle down the gangway and into the float system's utility chaseways.
The new power lines will daylight from the shoreline slope at an elevation of 4 FT mean lower low water (MLLW).
Up to two concrete anchor blocks 2 FT by 2 FT by 2 FT in size will hold the lines in place at this daylight location.
Potable water and fire protection lines will run from the existing power and water connections located on the uplands adjacent to the proposed new access trestle through a 6 FT deep (average 4 FT wide) trench to the shoreline.
The trench for the water and fire protection line is anticipated to displace up to 20 CY of fill material and 7 CY of armor rock below HTL.
The potable water and dry standpipe fire protection systems will submerge approximately 1100 LF of 3 inch and 4 inch high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe and 60 LF of 3 inch and 4 inch flexible hose below mean higher high water (MHHW).
Flexible hoses will connect the buried lines to the floating docks.
Chains may be used to weigh down the lines so that they remain submerged until they connect to the float system.
