Reiman Re: Proposal for ProfessIonal Engineering Services for . Mooring Structures at the Existing Waterfront Pier' Our File: HCA00501.01 Our PrOposal No. 2008.119 Dear Mayor RlOllman: Thank you. for the opportunity to prlOlsent this proposed for Professional Engineering and Environmental Consulting Services relative to the design and permitting of the mooring bollards that will be used to secure boats temporarily berthing adjacent to the existing promenade. Thl.s proposal outlines the scope ~nd costs of services necessary to identify the proposed location, construction materials, and regulatory agency permitting for the bollards. As you are aware, the structural members of the existing promenade are Insufficient to allow the ships to tie directly to the pilings or cross-members. This was determine.d by our structural engineers at the .time the owners of the Cornucopia sought to install a mooring cleat to the existing pier. The bollards will alloW the vessel to temporarily moor Immediately adjacent to the promenade decking so that patrons can safely embark and disembark. The proposed mooring will be only temporary, which allows a reduction In the Factor of Safety for the design. Based upon our preliminary design, there will be two mooring bollards spaced to accommodate a vessel 165' in length. We will coordinate the bollard placement with the owner-operator of the Cornucopia to ascertain. the anticipated boat length(s) and the required. . bollard spacing. Because the proposed mooring method entails the Installation of pilings, permits will be required from 'both the us Army Corps of Engineers for either a Nationwide Penn It or an Individual. Permit, and the Land Use Regulation Progratn of the NJDEP for a Waterfront Development Permit. . Our scope of services will Involve the following: . We Vifill prepare schematic designs for viable mooring alternatives (I.e.: pile clusters, monopods, etc.) that will meet the needs of the Borough and the owner/operatQr of the vessel. Tying' the vessel to the existing pier is not viable because, unless expensive rEllnforcements are completed, the pier lacks adequate strength. Cellular cofferdams and concrete block dolphins are not viable because they will encroach into the navigational channel of the Arthur Kill. These sketches will establish parameters for evaluation of the alternatlves~ S:lcarteret\proposalsIHCA50f.01 Pier Moorings 6-24-08.doc CONSlA.l1NGJ'M> ~ALENGINEERS .1460 ROUTE 9 SOUTH, HOWEll, NEW JERSEY On21 - (722) 462-7400 - FAX: (722) 409.()766 @ - Borough of Carteret Re: Proposal for Professional Engineering and Environmental Consulting Services Bollard Design and Permitting June 27 2008 Page 2 . Our services will progress the alternative layouts to a point where budget estimates can be developed. The advantages and disadvantages (i.e.: construction cost, permitting, dredging right-of-way leasi~g, etc.) of each alternative will be compared. . Construction Phase Services are not Included In this scope and associated fees will be determined once final design and scope of work is determined, we have provided an estimate of these fees based on Information known to date. Qualifiers 1. For the purpose of this proposal, we have assumed that the vessel will be approximately the size of the Cornucopia Princess, which had previously moored at the municipal pier. Therefore, no dredging will be required. 2. Services during construction (i.e.: review of contractor submissions, check shop drawings, resident engineer and inspectors, periodic site visits, etc.) are not included as part ofthis proposal. 3. CME has assumed that the existing soundings, borings, and probings information wlil be sufficient to prepare the detailed design. We reserve the right to request additional If this is not the case. 4. The owner/operator of the vessel will be responsible for providing the means to move from vessel to pier (i.e.: gangways, ramps, or towers, etc.) 5. The owner/operator of the vessel must commit to diligently tending the iines because we believe that the scope and angle on the mooring lines will be limited.
