BACKGROUND: The Seal Beach Municipal Pier is approximately 1800 feet long consisting mostly of poly- wrapped timber piles, timber support members and a timber decking. There is a lifeguard tower located at approximately the midpoint of the pier and a City -owned building, currently leased to Ruby's Restaurant, located at the end of the pier. Utility lines are generally located under the deck of the pier or attached to the side of the pier. Spanning the entire length of the pier, they include gas, water service, fire service, sewer, communication and electric. Lifeguards and Public Works crews have regularly inspected and monitored various components of the Pier. These include monitoring the age and wear and tear to the various utilities under the deck. Staff has noted the deteriorating condition of the various utilities. There have been many repairs required to the water and gas lines in the last couple of years. Additionally, Moffatt & Nichol has visually identified numerous locations of loose utilities, damaged and corroded lines and damaged connection hardware during a structural safety assessment inspection performed for the City in 2008. Staff requested a proposal from Moffatt & Nichol to design new potable water, fire water, sewer, natural gas, electrical power and communication facilities for the pier. Moffatt & Nichol has done previous work in Seal Beach and often is retained as an expert on design of coastal projects in the City. They have Agenda Item P Page 2 recently designed Phases I, II and III of the pier deck rehabilitation project and are currently working for the City designing Phase IV, the final phase, of the deck rehabilitation project. FINANCIAL IMPACT: In the 09/10 budget, $1,000,000 has been allocated for the design and construction of this project. This is adequate to cover estimated project costs.
