Project Scope

GP2
GP1

• Removal/Replacement of ~25,000sf of
timber pile supported pier structure
with longer span steel or concrete pile
supported structure
• Additional fender replacement for
remaining sections of the dock
• Utility upgrades including electrical,
water, possible sewer pumpout, lighting
• Project is Tier 2 under the Sustainability
Evaluation Framework and will consider
stormwater treatment, lower embodied
carbon materials, minimizing waste and
life cycle cost analysis.

• Pier 2 extension built in 1979
• NW Dock extension (central
concrete pile supported pier)
built 1987
• Steel fender system installed
on east end of dock 2010,
which will be the model for
this system

MITIGATION

Cost uncertainty for
materials and equipment

Continuing uncertainty remains regarding the potential
impacts of tariffs both to budget and schedule
/availability

Med

Med

Include cost contingencies to account for
potential tariff price impacts. Reflect current lead
times in estimates

Electrical Scope
Definition

Current piers are set up to accommodate a variety of
legacy electrical connections (smaller recreational and
larger commercial). Electrical scope will need
clear definition on grounding deficiencies and while
providing capacity/compatibility with future work on
the rest of the NW dock

Coordination of work
with ongoing operations
at Fishermen's Terminal

Project needs to be completed in phases to ensure
minimal disruption/displacement of existing tenant and
customers to retain long term moorage with the NW
pacific fishing fleet.

Med

High

Early involvement of operations and permitting
staff, design team and moorage customers in
planning the phasing of the work to minimize
impacts

Permitting duration

Permitting assumptions are moderate and assumes a
12-18 month duration for review and approval. The fish
window allowing in water work coincides with the
return of moorage customers so will need to be
carefully managed.

Low

High

Early permit submission, especially for in-water
work will be critical to successful scheduling

High

Med

Design refinement needs to include optimal
connection spacing and capacity for current and
anticipated future tenants
