Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Award Purpose
The project consists of completing NEPA reviews, project permitting, and engineering design work for five of the ports operational berths: Berths 06, 07, 08, 10, and 11 that need to be fully reconstructed.
The project also includes design for toe walls or similar structures at other berths: Berths 04, 05, 09, 12, and 14 to accommodate future port wide deepening activities.
Activities to Be Performed
The project will be completed in one component with the following elements:
Element 1: Federal National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Review
Prepare the appropriate draft and final documents to achieve the policies and goals established by NEPA and related regulations for berth construction projects.
Element 2: Pre-Engineering Studies
Engineering analysis and survey of Berths 06, 07, 08, 10, and 11.
Establish baseline structural conditions, evaluate geotechnical conditions, compile and review as-builts, conduct subwater inspections, conduct subsurface utility engineering, review existing mooring and bollard analysis, prepare a survey, prepare conceptual structural designs (e.g., bulkhead, pile supported, etc.) and related cost estimates, prepare metocean study, prepare mooring and berthing analysis, prepare stormwater analysis, and prepare updated port wide maps of dock load limits and bollard capacities for Berths 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, and 14.
Documents will be used for permitting, engineering design, and informing the order of dock rebuilds.
Coordinate with Tampa Harbor Pilots and US Army Corps of Engineers to conduct a navigation analysis or simulation of proposed designs if warranted.
Element 3: Permitting
Complete all required local, state, and federal permitting required to start construction.
Time dependent permitting for individual berths or portion of berths may be staggered to complement corresponding construction scheduling.
Element 4: Berth 06 Engineering
Engineering and design elements and considerations include extending the apron by approximately 265 feet from its current 412-foot length to connect with Berth 07 and extending another approximately 97 feet toward the west to align with the southwest corner of Berth 05.
Additional considerations: new fuel pits, new shore utility connections (e.g., water, electric), base infrastructure for bulk cargo loading or unloading equipment, and ability to handle mobile harbor crane loading.
Element 5: Berth 07 Engineering
Engineering and design elements and considerations include new fuel pits, new shore utility connections (e.g., water, electric), ability to handle mobile harbor crane loading, base infrastructure for bulk cargo loading or unloading equipment, and new pits, pumps, and underground lines for pneumatic ship unloaders.
Element 6: Berth 08 Engineering
Engineering and design elements and considerations include additional considerations: new fuel pits, new shore utility connections (e.g., water, electric), ability to handle mobile harbor crane loading, new pits, pumps, and underground lines for pneumatic ship unloaders, and new RoRo ramp.
Element 7: Berth 10 and 11 Engineering
Engineering and design elements and considerations include extension of Berth 10 to the west by approximately 410 feet, reconfiguring Berth 11 along the same alignment as the extended Berth 10 to the north, and Berths 12 and 14 to the south to provide approximately 2160 feet of continuous southward marginal wharf.
Additional considerations: new fuel pits or similar structures on Berths 10 and 11, new shore utility connections (e.g., water, electric), and ability to handle mobile harbor crane loading.
Element 8: Design Toe Walls
Engineering and design elements and considerations include design for toe walls or similar structures at Berths 04, 05, 09, 12, and 14 to accommodate future port wide deepening activities (e.g., from the current authorized depth of 40 feet, 1 foot over depth, to a depth of 50 feet, 2 feet over depth).
Deliverables Expected Outcomes
There are no prescribed performance measures for this grant.
