TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: David Carmany, City Manager
FROM: Vince Mastrosimone, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: PIER STRUCTURAL SAFETY ASSESSMENT
INSPECTION REPORT CIP N0.50235 -APPROVAL
OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The City Council is asked to adopt Resolution No. 5793 approving a professional
services agreement for the Pier Structural Safety Assessment Inspection Report,
CIP No. 50235 with Moffatt & Nichol for $68,000.
BACKGROUND:
The Seal Beach Municipal Pier is approximately 1800-feet long consisting mostly
of poly-wrapped timber piles, timber support members and a timber deck. The
Pier was severely damaged by the winter storms in 1982/1983 and it was
partially rebuilt after the damage. In April 2008, the Pier suffered damage to the
boat launch due to high surf which was later repaired.
Lifeguards and Public Works crews have regularly inspected and monitored
various components of the Pier. The fender piles, which are the outermost piles
adjacent to the boat ramps were professionally inspected and evaluated by a
consultant in 1993. The concrete portion of the pier was professionally inspected
and evaluated by a consultant in 1999. In 2003, Han-Padron Associates
inspected and evaluated the Pier and provided the City with a detailed
assessment of the Pier's condition. Overall, the Pier was in fair condition.
However, Han-Padron identified components needing repair and preventative
measures, many of which have been addressed.
Five years has passed and it is recommended to reevaluate the Pier's condition
through a safety structural assessment report. The report will include a visual and
tactile examination of all accessible components of the structure, above and
below the waterline. The report follows standards set by the American Society of
Civil Engineers (ASCE) Standard Practice Manual on Underwater Investigations.
Agenda Item N

Staff prepared a Request for Proposal RFP and received two proposals. After
review and discussions by City staff, staff is recommending Moffat & Nichol.
Staff verified the references and they met the qualifications for the requested
work. Moffatt & Nichol has done previous work in Seal Beach and often is
retained as an expert on the coastal projects in the City.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
In the 08/09 FY Budget, $100,000 is appropriated for Project No. 50235 for this
project. This is adequate to cover estimated project costs.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended City Council adopt Resolution No. 5793 approving a
professional services agreement for the Pier Structural Safety Assessment
Inspection Report, CIP No. 50235 with Moffat & Nichol for $68,000.

SCOPE OF WORK
::It. ,alt, •N.ttk't' }hsi :~..Y".. W M; p ~iY!. ~ _ _
't.
qty Assessment Inspection 2008
The work will include the inspection and preliminary engineering identified in the City's "Exhibit
A". It will include:
• Timber Pier Evaluation with the inspection and identification of needed repairs for: Piles, Cross
Bracing, Pile Caps, Stringers, Fenders, Connection Hardware, Deck, Guard Railings and
Benches, Boat Landings, and Utilities: Water, Sewage, Electrical, and Gas.
• Evaluation and Condition Rating. Pier Assessment. This will include: A Current Condition
Analysis.
• Rehabilitation Recommendations and Cost Estimates which will include: Structural Integrity
Repairs, Utility Repairs, Preservation Measures to increase the potential life span of the
elements, Aesthetic Measures and any additional recommendations Moffatt & Nichol may have
for the Pier or associated facilities.
METHODOLOGY
Phase 1 -Pier Evaluation Survey and Assessment
The Pier Evaluation Survey and Assessment will determine the condition of the Pier and identify
any needed restoration or potential improvements.
This involves the inspection of all pier components, both above- and below water, to develop
information needed to prepare construction documents. A field Work Plan will be prepared for each
aspect of the site inspection. This will be based on available information and on Moffatt & Nichol's
general inspection reporting standards.
• Topside inspection will include the pier decking, curbs, railings, and appurtenances. It is
anticipated that the City building officials will conduct arty necessary inspection of the building
structures above the pier.
• Underside inspection will include inspection of the stringers, caps, bracing, connections,
concrete approach structures, piles above-water, utility housings and supports, recessed
platforms, and floating facilities.
• Underwater inspection will include inspection of the submerged portion of the Pier including
bracing and piles. Underwater inspection will be done in accordance with the ASCE Standard
Practice Manual for Underwater Investigations. Diving practices will be regulated by the
Moffatt & Nichol Diving Manual. .
Above-Water Inspection -Topside
The topside inspection will include inspections/observations of the entire length of the Pier. 1'he
topside inspection will be performed on a walk through reviewing structural elements, accessible
facilities and utilities, including lighting. Buildings are not included in the Scope of Work; however,
any observed issues will be noted.

St~uetural Safety Assessment Inspection 2008
The above-water inspection will involve all pier utilities, structural members and appurtenances.
The underside inspection will include structtual components, appurtenances, and utilities below the
deck.
The above-water inspection of the substructure will be performed similar to a routine inspection in
accordance with ASCE Standard Practice Manual for Underwater Investigations. Inspection will be
preformed from ground and water level from a boat at a relatively high tide. Both will focus on
visible signs of deterioration or damage. If the team identifies azeas of critical concern, the City will
be immediately contacted to discuss options for a more extensive inspection.
Inspection of the substructure can alternatively be done with specialized equipment. This would be
performed by means of an inspection "snooper" vehicle, which provides an arm to reach under the
pier from the deck. Use of the snooper would allow direct access to the members and utilities
immediately below the Pier and provide a better assessment of the local conditions. Public access
would need to be restricted on the side of the Pier in the immediate area of operations, but access
could be maintained on the opposite side. A two-week rental of the vehicle is provided as an
opinion in the fee proposal, which includes provisions for weather delays.
The inspection will be documented with field notes and digital photography.
Underwater Inspection
With over 20 years of experience in conducting underwater inspections for our clients worldwide,
Moffatt & Nichol's in-house, full-time professional engineer-divers thoroughly understand both the
specialized technical requirements of the process as well as the safety/regulatory aspects associated
with dive operations.
All of our engineer-divers have received formal training in Surface-Supplied Air (SSA) dive
operations, meetuig the stringent requirements of Army Corps of Engineers Standard EM385-1-1.
Our divers are proficient in the use of standard and specialized underwater inspection tools and
testing equipment. All divers are certified in First Aid and CPR, and our dive operations are
conducted in strict compliance with OSHA's 29 CFR Part 1910.410.
Prior to mobilizing dive operations, the Dive Supervisor will complete a Job Safety Analysis Q~SA) in
addition to technical preparation. The JSA assesses diving objectives/operations and the project's
physical environment to determine potential hazards and mitigation measures.
The underwater inspection will be a Routine Inspection (Condition Assessment) based on the
ASCE's Underwater Investigations Standard Practice Manual. The underwater inspection will be
performed from the mudline to the high tide line and will include three levels of effort:
Level I - On 100% of the piles. Visual and/or tactile examination of all surfaces, without
removing marine growth. Tactile examination will provide an indication of the integrity of the
exterior of the piles.
Level II - On 10% of the piles. Removal of marine growth at three levels (mudline, low tide
zone, and mid-height), and detailed examination of the exposed substrate. For piles in less than
15-feet of water, only the mudline and low tide zone levels will be examined
Level III -Piles that are unwrapped or have a loss of wrap are more prone to infestation of
marine borers. On a representative number of piles that show physical evidence of potential
problems, a detailed inspection using non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques will be used.

If the team identifies areas of critical concern, the City will be immediately
contacted to discuss options for a more extensive inspection. This may require removal of wraps
and additional observation or coring.
The results of the underwater inspection w><11 be documented with field notes and underwater
photos.
Safety
Each zone of inspection activities-underwater, above-water but below deck, and topside-will
have its own set of risks and potential hazards, both for Moffatt & Nichol personnel and for the
general public. Before starting inspections, Moffatt & Nichol will develop a Work Plan that includes
anticipation of potential hazards and provides preventative mitigations measures as well as response
procedures should a mishap occur. Moffatt & Nichol will coordinate with the Lifeguard Services to
maintain a safe perimeter around inspection operations, especially to limit public fishing and surfing
activities from the vicinity of diving and above-water below-deck operations.
Phase 2 -Engineering Analysis
Concurrently with the Site Investigation, Moffatt & Nichol will conduct an Engineering Analysis fox
several other technical aspects of the pier including summaries from the inspection report.
Structural Capacity Rating
Structural capacities for design and/or compromised elements can be provided. These will be
determined based on current codes. LTBC, AASHTO and National Design Specification are most
commonly used by Moffatt & Nichol for municipal piers. Standard AASHTO rating will be
provided for differing pier areas.
The pier will also be assessed for emergency vehicles, if required These vehicles often do not fall
under AASHTO ratings. The City would need to provide vehicle information for this assessment.
Moffatt & Nichol has provided a similar service for the City of Santa Monica at which time we
assessed the typical vehicle loads and their actual emergency vehicle loads.
Report
A comprehensive Report will be prepared upon completion of the inspection and analysis. Each
element of the pier will be identified, discussed, and rated. The Report will include
recommendations for repairs and/or rehabilitation. Cost estimates will be developed for these
recommendations for City budgeting and determination of construction sequence.

SEAL BEACH PIER REHABILITATION, SEAL BEACH, CA
DESCRIPTION OF WOR~G Moffatt & Nichol was responsible for
the preparation of a deck rehabilitation study, and the design of the
deck replacement construction plans, specifications, and estimates.
The city's goals were to rehabilitate the existing pier deck while
exploring opportunities to enhance the pedestrian comfort and safety.
Ocher aspects of the deck type explored included fire-resistance,
aesthetics, constructabiliry, pen~nitting and environmental issues, and
maintenance.
Upon detemzination of the deck replacement, Moffatt & Nichol
worked with the Ciry to develop a phased construction over several
years to provide funding over fiscal budgets, and ,,,,,,,,,,,gyp public imp
on design Phase 3, and construction phase services.
SEAL BEACH PIER FIRE DAMAGE REPAIR, SEAL BEACH, CA
Description o f Work At 6 p.m. a week before
Memorial Day 1992, the Seal Beach Pier caught fire,
severely damaging the deck and supporting beams over
a 100-foot section in the middle of the pier and
destroying the Life Guard tower and forcing closure of
the restaurant at the end of the pier. Ciry and fine
officials called Moffatt & Nichol at 7 am the next day.
That morning, our staff inspected the damage and
reviewed the arson investigator's findings. It was
determined that the deck and stringers (supporting
beams) were damaged beyond salvage, but the piles and
pile caps were only slightly singed and retained virtually
all of their original strength.

Memorial Day is the traditional start of the summer tourist season, and with a professional volley ball
tournament set to take place that weekend next to the pier, it was very important to the City and the
restaurant operator to have the pier reopened as soon as possible.
The Moffatt & Nichol team formulated a plan to construct a temporary bridge structure over the top of
the damaged deck. Through a local contractor, we then located recently removed soffit forms from
another concrete pier project, which were calculated to be the correct strength and size to span from pile
cap to pile cap. After dete*+r~n~ng the ownership of the soffit forms, we arranged for the City to rent the
forms for an unspecified length of time.
Under the Moffatt & Nichol engineering oversight, the marine contractor began construction of a
bridgirig structure over the burned area of the pier using the rented soffit forms and new timber.
Blocking was installed over the pile caps to support the soffit forms at the existing deck elevation.

Concurrently, city maintenance crews replaced burned sections of conduits and repaired pipelines. The
telephone and electric companies pulled new wires into the repaired conduits, and the contractor
completed the ramps at each end of the temporary structure. One week after the start of the fire-the
Seal Beach Pier was ready to re-open for the holiday weekend.
Moffatt & Nichol subsequently designed the final repairs, which included a new lifeguard tower, and
were constructed after more than two years of service by the temporary structure. We met the goal of
having the pier open for the Memorial Day weekend.
SANTA MONICA PIER REHABILITATION, SANTA MONICA, CA
Description of Work Moffatt & Nichol provided design
engineering for the $4.5 million rehabilitation of the Municipal
and Newcomb piers, which comprise the Santa Monica Pier. This
multiphase project includes structural repair, deck upgrades,
installation of an emergency access ramp, utility and fire
suppression, inspection and upgrades, lighting study, and
replacement of pier appurtenances.
The phases were established to meet critical needs, stakeholder
priorities, and available funding. The first phase of construction,
which included reconstruction and strengthening of a portion of
deck to provide fire truck access and emergency vehicles, was
completed in 2004.
The Phase 2 construction, which included removal of the asphalt
topping, additional pier strengthening including accommodating fire and emergency vehicles, and
structural repairs that were completed in 2006. The final Phase 3 will include replacement of a portion of
the timber pier with a concrete substructure supporting a timber deck, which is currently under design.
Moffatt & Nichol is has also provided various engineering services on the Pier to the City and
developers including the new Central Restroom Project.
HUNTINGTON BEACH MUNICIPAL PIER, HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA
Description o f Work: Moffatt & Nichol designed a
1,850-foot-long reinforced concrete pier to replace the
deteriorated historic Huntington Beach Municipal Pier. The
new pier retained the historic architectural style of the
original pier; including haunches at the pile caps and corbels
supporting light standards, while meeting current seismic
and wave design criteria
The pier was designed to withstand a 31-foot wave or a 7.0
magnitude earthquake, and uses an increased space between
piles to accommodate surfers. The firm provided design for
all utility piping, including sewer, domestic water, fire
protection, and gas mains. Shore connections were made,
and provisions made for connection to several pier structures.
Moffatt & Nichol received the "Outstanding Project Award" by the California Geotechnical Engineers
Association for this project.

SAN CLEMENTE PIER REPAIR, SAN CLEMENTE, CA
Description o f Work: Moffatt & Nichol
designed the reconstruction of the San Clemente
Pier due to damage resulting from severe storms in
1983. Wave studies were performed and showed
that wave crest heights were greater than the
existing pier deck elevation, which created a design
challenge to repair the existing pier. Coated steel
pipe piles and steel pile caps were used to create a
rigid frame for transverse loads, which eliminated
the need for cross bracing.

The innovative solution also involved a design
which allowed the decking to come off to release the dynamic wave load, while the rest of the structure
would remain undamaged
This design was proven effective in 1988, when a major storm hit Southern California, causing major
damage to marry ocean piers. The City of San Clemente's Public Services Director Michael Sorg praised
Moffatt & Nichol's design in the Daily Sun/Post (jan 22, 1988). "Mo,)rfatt ~ Nid~ol's ware pufle ~

saving the San Clemente Pier from a repeat of 1983's destruction.
STEARNS WHARF PIER, SANTA BARBARA, CA
Description o f Work: Moffatt & Nichol has
supported the City of Santa Barbara on several fast
track projects to repair fire damages to the historic
Steams Wharf. The wharf caught fire on November
18, 1998, between two restaurant buildings. By the
time the fire was out the following afternoon, more
than one acre of deck, two buildings, and a boat
access ramp were destroyed down to the waterline. All
that remained were about 700 stubs of timber piles
standing in the water.
One day later, the City of Santa Barbara asked a
representative from Moffatt & Nichol to provide an assessment of the damaged structural elements once
the fire was out. Moffatt & Nichol was retained on an emergency basis to provide consultation during
the cleanup, and to design temporary stabilization measures. The firm later was contracted to provide the
design for the wharf reconstruction including structural, electrical, and fire protection systems.
In order to have the pier and the businesses back in service in the shortest time possible, the City of
Santa Barbara hired a contractor to begin reconstruction prior to the completion of design. Moffatt &
Nichol worked with the City of Santa Barbara, and their contractor on a fast-track basis to provide
construction drawings that would allow the contractor to begin construction as soon as the pre-ordered
materials started to amve.
The structure under the buildings was changed from timber to concrete and steel to reduce the risk of
future fires, and to meet current seismic code requirements. A hardwood timber veneer was placed over
the concrete to maintain the wharf's original timber look. Wharf reconstruction began in March 1999,

Again, Moffatt & Nichol was retained for the preliminary inspection and design of repairs. A Fire
Damage Assessment Report was submitted to the City of Santa Barbara, which included a damage
assessment, proposed repairs, and a cost estimate. Permanent repairs were not completed since this
portion of the pier was to be rebuilt with the Sea Center Revitalization Project.
Moffatt & Nichol later was responsible for re-designing a portion of the east pier to accommodate
construction of a new two-story museum facility. A preliminary assessment determined that the existing
pier was not sufficient for the proposed building.
HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL PIER DESIGN £t REPAIR, HERMOSA BEACH, CA
Description o f Work: Moffatt & Nichol designed a 20-foot-
wide x 1,168-foot-long pier with a 50-foot x 68-foot expanded
outer end The structure consists of precast concrete deck, cast-in-
place pile caps, .and precast prestressed concrete 38-b0 ton
capacity piles. The design included 1,095-square foot CMU
restrooms, a concession building, boat landing, timber-framed
moveable landing and ramp, electric hoist, and utilities.
Moffatt & Nichol was later retained to design the repairs after a
storm-tossed object damaged the seaward end of the pier. The
firm performed an inspection of the deck and pile cap, underwater inspection of piles, and structtu~l
analysis of stresses in piles. A report was prepared detailing the existing condition record, damage and
stress evaluation, and recommendations of repair alternatives with costs of repair. Project work included
jacking the pile cap back to its original location, reconnection to pier deck, underwater repair of a broken
pile, epoxy injection of structural cracks, and repair of a spalled portion of cap.
PISMO BEACH MUNICIPAL PIER RECONSTRUCTION, PISMO BEACH, CA
Description o f Work: Moffatt & Nichol provided complete
plans, specifications, and estimates for the redesign and
reconstruction of this timber pier, damaged in the 1983 stom>s.
Precoated anti-corrosion steel pipe piles and steel pile caps with
moment connections provide the rigid frame construction which
supports the outer 400-feet of the 1,200-foot-long structure.
Four large platforms set at 45-degree angles to the axis of the pier
and ten cantilevered fishing decks highlight this unique design,
The largest of these platforms is designed to accommodate a
future restaurant and shops. Appurtenances and utilities include lighting, fish cleaning stations, water,
and a vacuum sewer system and pump house.

integrity of Piers 67 and 68, and to notify them of any
immediate concerns. The hotel has occupied Pier 67 since
1962, but the piles under the pier are nearly 75 years old
There are several types of piling supporting Piers 67 and 68,
including creosote timber, timber stub, cast in place concrete,
concrete piles.
Moffatt & Nichol dive engineers used basic SCUBA gear to provide an initial Level I underwater
inspection of the piling, pile caps, stringers, decking, and seawall. This effort included a visual and tactile
examination of 100% of the remaining piling to detect the obvious major damage and deterioration
caused by overstressing, marine borer activity, and to confirm the continuity of the full length of each
pile from pile cap to mudline. The timber members were investigated for defects that included broken
members, rot, checking, and marine borer activity; the sea wall was investigaxed for defects such as
cracks, delamination, and undeY77+ining,
Moffatt & Nichol determined that the piling was in need of immediate attention. The dive engineers
observed that the piling have multiple degrees of deterioration, including advanced levels of marine
borer activity throughout the pier. The pile wraps that protect a few piling from marine borer activity
were loose and no longer fully protect the pile. Any piling rated "severe" cannot be relied upon to
provide support to the stnxcnxre, because they aze either hollow, broken, ornon-bearing; this absence of
support places additional stress on the pile caps and additional load on the adjacent piling:

PINE AVENUE PIER, LONG BEACH, CA
Structural Safely Assessment Inspection 2008
Description o f Work The Pine Avenue Pier is a
unique 210-foot-long by 50-foot-wide structure
designed to provide docking space on the east side
of the pier for large yachts and a floating dock on
the west side for tall ships or other visiting large
boats. The large double-bit bollards from the Port
of Long Beach were used for the ship tie up points
and to lend more of a waterfront atmosphere to the
public area. Also special wood benches were placed
around the perimeter which included undex•-the-seat
area lighting. The concrete surface of the pier was overlaid with hard wood decking.
area of the pier provides space for public events.
The floating dock on the west side was designed to rise and fall with the tide cycle within a cutout space
in the pier. The width of the floating dock was designed to a wider dimension than normal to allow for
additional space for display and educational purposes relating to the tall ship activities. The water, sewer
vacuum system, electrical, telephone, and fire water conduits were cast into the pier concrete deck to
provide full utility service to visiting ships. The design and construction of the Pine Avenue Pier resulted
in a cost savings of just over $500,000.
Taking advantage of the site's existing land mass prior to excavating and dredging for the harbor, the
Pine Avenue Pier was constructed in the dry. After the Pier's construction the soil beneath the pier was
removed by conventional earth work equipment. Due to the entire site being land created by dredging of
the Los Angeles River, liquefaction of the site during a seismic event was a design consideration. The
entire area of the pier was stabilized by use of stone columns. These stone columns were also installed in
the dry utilizing the land mass on which the pier was constructed. The octagonal concrete piles which
support the pier were then driven between the installed stone columns.
SANTA CRUZ WHARF EVALUATIONS, SANTA CRUZ, CA
Description o f Work Moffatt & Nichol
has performed six separate evaluations for the
Santa Cruz wharf, which include:
- C-verall Wharf Evaluation
- Miramar Piles Investigation
- Building 71 Substructure
- Wharf Replacement Costs
- Restroom Substructure
- Fire Truck Access
When the Santa Cruz wharf was closed due to heavy surf during the 1997-1998 storm seasons, a
structural evaluation was performed. The evaluation included a review of existing documents, meeting
with the maintenance staff, and performing observations of the entire top and underside of the half-mile
long wharf. Pile core samples were taken to determine pile condition. Other evaluations have been
performed to determine the condition of the wharf structure (piles, beams, decking, and paving) beneath
wharf buildings. Each evaluation includes a review of existing documents, onsite observations above and
below the wharf deck, and preparation of a report" Reports present the findings of the condition of the
structure, CAD drawings, repair alternatives, cost estimates, and recommendations.

SUNSET AQUATIC MARINA REHABILITATION, SEAL BEACH, CA
Description of Work The Sunset Aquatic Marina
Rehabilitation consists of two elements, the removal and
replacement of existing docks, slips and gangways fora 240-slip
marina and the upgrade of the landside utilities to provide
services to the new marina facilities.
Moffatt & Nichol was responsible for the design of the
waterside facilities for the marina consisting of piles, docks,
gangways and all utilities services and equipment. An ADA
gangway was also incorporated into the marina layout. The
marina slip distribution was updated to account for current
market demand trends for larger vessels. For the docks, existing
guide piles were utilized in one portion of the marina while another portion to be reconfigured adjacent
to a stormwater channel was designed with larger piles to withstand to anticipated forces of a storm
event.
Moffatt & Nichol prepared plans, specifications, and estimates for the new landside utilities for the
marina Anew electrical distribution system was designed to account for the increased demand of a
modem marina. Fire protection water mains and facilities were designed and approved by the Orange
County Fire Department and City of Seal Beach.
Permitting of the project was spearheaded by Moffatt & Nchol and done in conjunction with local
agencies such as the County of Orange, City of Seal Beach, Regional blazer Quality Control Board,
California Coastal Commission, U.S. Amry Corps of Engineers, National Marine Fisheries, and
California Fish & Game.
ROMERO PIER STRUCTURAL INVESTIGATIONS, PILLAR POINT HARBOR, EL GRANADA, CA
Description of Work Moffatt & Nichol was retained to
observe the condition of the pier, and to provide an engineering
evaluation of the structure. Alternatives were prepared for repair
of the structure and recommendations were made to continue
the current fish handling operations. Romeo Pier is a 50 year old
timber structure that extends approximately 640-feet into Pillar
Point Harbor. It serves as a commeraal fish-handling pier with
18,000-square-feet of deck area, including a 3,000-square-foot
operations building at the pier head The pier provides facilities
for ocean-caught fish and for locally grown abalone.
The structural condition survey included both above-water and underwater work, The above-water
portion was inspected visually and by probing and coring. Field notes, video, and still photographywere
used to record the condition of the stnrcnrxe. The underwater inspection work consisted of visually
inspecting, probing with an awl, and sounding with a hammer to assess timer integrity. In addition, cores
were taken and analyzed at a materials laboratory. A repon was prepared describing the inspection and
engineering evaluation, and results of the investigation.
Alternatives included both retrofitting and replacement of the structure. Estimated construction costs
were prepared for both alternatives. Presentations were made to the San Mateo Harbor District Board of
Commissioners to both describe the type of work being performed and to present the results of the
investigation.
