T91 Feeder 205 Replacement Design/LongLead Purchase Funding
WP# N10958 / CIP# C802159
Jennifer Maietta, Director, Real Estate Asset Management
Brandon Klett, Capital Project Manager, Waterfront Project Management
Evan Conroy, Capital Project Manager, Waterfront Project Management

Action Requested
• Request Commission authorization for the Executive Director
to approve funding in the amount of $1,200,000 for design and
long lead material procurement for the T91 Feeder 205
Replacement project (C802159) for a total project
authorization of $1,250,000, and an estimated total project
cost of $3,900,000.

Project Justification
• Feeder 205 is designated as the primary power source to Building W-40,
Lift Station 7, Cruise Parking, and Marine Maintenance North
Operations (MMNO). This project will restore this feeder as a reliable
power source, supporting asset preservation at T91.
• Per an electrical assessment conducted in January 2026, Feeder 205 is
at the end of its service life.
• If Feeder 205 fails, operational impacts affecting Port T91 Operations,
cold storage tenant operations at Building W-40, and the Cruise parking
lot would result in costly temporary power requirements. 
• The cable required for this replacement currently has a 65-week leadtime. Ordering the cable early will help offset that length of time.
4

Project Scope
• The project scope will include the following:
- Removal of all existing electrical cable in Feeder 205.
- New feeder cable installation from Main Substation 2 (electrical
source) to Switch SW7.
- New terminations at source location, equipment connection
locations, and all maintenance hole locations.
- This work will require power outages, so temporary power/lighting
will be supplied to affected locations during construction.

MITIGATION

Lead-time length could
increase

The lead-time on the electrical cable has increased over
the past several months. There is a risk that the lead time
could increase further if we wait to order the cable.

Med

High

We are requesting funding to order the cable early to
minimize potential for longer lead-times.

Electrical cable cost
increase

The cost of copper, which is an integral component of
electrical cable, has increased significantly over the last
year. There is the risk the cost of cable could increase
even more if we wait to order the required cable.

Med

Med

We are requesting funding to order the cable early to
minimize potential for increased material cost.

Existing conduit could be
in poor condition

There is a risk that after the existing electrical cable is
removed from the existing conduit that the conduit could
be found to be in poor condition. This would prevent
existing conduit from being reutilized for the new cable
which could necessitate installation of new conduit.

Med

The electrical assessment conducted in January found
that the spare conduit in the duct bank is still in good
condition. If the current conduit is not usable, we
believe we can use the spare conduit instead.

Coordination with
overlapping projects at
Terminal 91

There are many other projects scheduled on Pier 91 that
could impact one another if not coordinated effectively:
T91 Uplands Development, T91 Feeder 102 Replacement,
T91 Communication Infrastructure, T91 Lighting Upgrade,
T91 Fiber Infrastructure Upgrade

Med

PRR (regional communications and engagement firm)
has been engaged to help facilitate communication
and coordination among the various T91 projects,
operations, community, and tenants.

Coordination with T91 Uplands Development
Coordinating with the T91 Uplands Development Phase 1 project brings
three main advantages:
• Strategically plan the duct bank work for both projects to reduce the
overall required outage time
• Streamline electrical cable procurement
• Capitalize on operational and construction efficiencies using a single
contractor.
