Presentation from the ports regarding the 2018 embarcadero c. Wells. Earthquake safety bond and possible action by the committee in response to such presentation expect our presenters carlos cologne, the Waterfront Resilience Program administrator welcome thank you, um. You can hear me. Great. Thank you. Committee members, i think, um because our first bond sale was 2020. This may be our first in person presentation discussed the progress of our see well, bond. Im here with stephen real, the Deputy Program manager of project management and engineering. And also skylar po, our analysts working on funding for the program. So a quick overview of what will go over. Well talk about for the first time, the actual projects. Well talk a little bit about the flood study and the draft adaptation strategies now finish with talking about the expenditures to date. This is a report about last year 2022. Um but i have to add that in the last 30 days. We did have a second bond sale for almost 40 million and we should be receiving that funding shortly. But again, this report is what weve done in 2022. Um and so now, id like to bring up stephen to talk about our early projects. Stephen. Good morning Committee Members. Stephen real Waterfront Resilience ProgramDeputy Program manager. For project delivery and engineering. And Waterfront Resilience Program stretches the entire 7. 5 miles of the porch. Highlighted number one area is the embarcadero zone, which is the subject of the seawall bond. Weve identified 23 potential early projects in this stretch. Which is much more than we have current funding for, um were focused on reducing life safety risk. Improving Disaster Response capability and addressing your term flood risk. Weve moved forward with six of the projects we have completed their in pre design weve completed Needs Assessment reports on those and ill go over those projects. First as the wharf j nine replacement and resilient shore line project. This is over in Fishermans Wharf. Its an area that is failing worf and high earthquake risk seawall. Were looking to sort of develop the resilient shoreline typology for Fishermans Wharf and started here. Um this project will also increase Disaster Response capability. By providing earthquake accessible births, including the fireboat birth. Theres an emergency fire Water Systems manifold at the edge thats currently inaccessible. And were also looking to start to revitalize what has been a historically under invested area. Connect residents and visitors to the to the working fishing industry and create that continuous waterfront experience. The project is looking at various alternatives for the war for placement, but we also brought in our home away and a little section of earthquake. At risk seawall on jefferson street, which we think is really needed to unlock the benefits of this project. Move down the shore line towards the south. The next project we come to is pure 15 bulkhead wall and war for earthquake safety retrofit project. This is where the exploratorium as focus on this project is really to improve that earthquake safety by retrofitting the bulkhead wall and the substructure to reduce any risk of collapse and very large earthquakes. Area has a high risk of lateral spreading within the seawall zone very difficult to fix. So for the time being, what we want to do is, um live through that type of movement should that large earthquake occur. Theres also, um births out here that would be used for earthquake disaster responsible with my make sure everyone reliable path between the pier and land. And we want to keep the exploratorium open during construction. Were looking at the substructure retrofits. Theres already been some investment out here in the pier and some of the sub structure. We think we may need to increase the width of the seismic joint. Thats out there and then we have this third alternative, which is really a substructure replacement in kind, which we call the spider frame. Its not adaptable. Jack herbal wharf system. We dont at this point in our analysis, we dont think that that type of Solutions Needed that we would be sort of focused on the alternative. One. Moving further south right . Next door is pure nine, and its a similar type of project. Um of note. The difference here is this pier has not had that initial earthquake retrofit and substructure repair. But we have the same goals with this project. And, um of note is that the this project is either going to focus on adding that seismic joint and repairing the substructure and wall or looking at this spider frame, which is this adaptable . Okay, dwarf. That we can later raised in the future, so sort of a foundational investment. Ill note that add up major adaptation in this zone with seawall replacement is coming later. Further south to the Ferry Building. This is the very building seawall and substructure earthquake reliability project. Here were focused on improving earthquake safety by strengthening the seawall and the substructure of the iconic Ferry Building. We really want to provide reliable earthquake Disaster Response capability for the ferry berths and the staging areas here. This was highlighted in our Disaster Response exercise. With, um city and regional partners. We see an opportunity to improve waterside public realm. Utility services. We want to minimize construction impacts with this one. This is a highly active area and just sort of coming back from covid. And we see the need to develop the long term Adaptation Plan here and make these make these investments initial steps on that adaptation path. Really complicated area. Um most complex area on the waterfront. We have very thick bay muds here. 100 ft. Thick we have a mix of structures dating from 18 89. We have the 240 ft tall clock tower of the philip Ferry Building and then bark tunneled underneath. Um we developed an initial seismic measures toolkit. We have 88 different draft project alternatives and were moving forward with alternative analysis now. Um heres five through 22. A half is the next project. This is our near term coastal flood Risk Reduction project basically from broadway. Down to howard street, about three quarters of a mile. This area is settled that flood risk today, floods and king tides are looking to start investing protecting part immune e the underground from any sort of any flooding in the near term. Um we want to balance that investments we make today with investments that will come later. We have submitted a fema brick grant. On this one for 50 million or really hopeful that we will get that and combine that with general Obligation Bond funds to deliver this project. Here. You can see the stretch of waterfront that were talking about. And then further south by the bay bridges. Piers 24, a half 3 28. 5 earthquake safety project. The seawater is quite safety project here. Our Risk Assessment noted a high risk of collapse for this section of bulkhead. You can see it supports the sections of the promenade here, which are pretty highly active. Um were noting that this is. Age and conditions here are challenging. Um were looking at simple retrofits second. Really reduce that risk of collapse to full replacement alternatives. We also note that weve got adjacent projects that appears 30 32 pierce 38 40 their development projects. If they move ahead, they could help deliver full stretch of improved seawall. So we have an alternative alternative. Four. That follows along that stretch of replacement replacement seawall. So our next steps where advancing the alternatives . Um we intend to complete redesign this year on some of the projects and were targeting construction late 2024. From the first projects. Will continue to coordinate redesign of the early projects with these larger adaptation strategies that are part of the army corps study. And we continue to seek additional funding. We have more need than we have funding for. There is one other project thats moving ahead as a pilot. Its called the living seawall pilot. Um here. Were looking at ecological enhancements of seawalls. Um this pilot has been installed, so we have three locations where weve installed different types of panels with textures and concrete at mixes. And monitoring has started. We have two years of monitoring with the smithsonian, so it really helpful that well get some good results out of that. Here is our high level schedule. So you can see we are in pre design. We expect to continue pre designed through at least mid 2024. If we get for successful in getting more funding will continue to bring on more projects. Well kick off Detailed Design and environmental approvals little bit later this year. We expect to be bidding our first her First Construction contract contract, mid 2024 starting construction before the end of 2024. Thats the early projects. Ill quickly go over the Army Corps Flood study. This is the waterfront wide study with the army corps of engineers as a general investigation looking at major adaptation of the entire waterfront, including the embarcadero zone. Were in the process now of valuation alternatives that have been developed and then well be selecting a plan later this year towards the end of the year. These are major changes for the waterfront. Um the draft adaptation strategies that are being considered, including no action. Non structural, which is flood proofing and moving critical facilities out of the way. Um were looking at Different Levels of Sea Level Rise or level or lower level of Sea Level Rise is c and then an adaptable version of that is a strategy d and then we have a higher level of Sea Level Rise scenarios e, f and g. Which include a holding the line, keeping the line of defense where it is today and protecting everything on the waterfront. Managing the water so letting water come into some areas and then aligning watersheds where we might actually start to move out of some areas of the city. Carlos. Ill go back to the funding. This is our original budget for the program. Uh for the 425 million bond. Stephen did talk about the living seawall, which is currently are only pilot project. Youll notice that we originally budgeted 40 million for pilot projects back in 2018. But were not going to use that 40 million for private projects that additional funding will be distributed between probably preliminary design and final design of the early projects we have now. And then as even mentioned, were currently going through the early projects was the preliminary design is complete, will have a budget scope is scheduled for those projects. And once we have those budgets well, weve revised this to be more accurate. For our current budget for the full bond. Uh um. Stephen already discussed some of the highlights. You know, we are in in preliminary design for six early projects. Um were looking forward to completing those Planning Design of the six projects in the coming year and getting ready to go to final design. Uh one. Risk. Um. Is that we have. Expanded the scope of the original program. Originally, we thought wed do 2 to 3 projects weve now selected maybe 23 possible projects. And so weve sort of expanded the contract weve had with the Program Management company. Um, weve expanded faster than we thought. And so we think we will need an amended amended amendment to the contract in order to continue with the design of the six projects and so we are in that process right now in negotiations with Airport Commission and talking with senior staff about having an amendment later this year. Heres our total Program Funding today. So we do have the bond, which close to 50 million from the first bond sale. We did get a 5 million grant from the state a few years ago. And the ports has committed believe. About 9. 5 million as well. Stephen mentioned before. We do have a 50 million Grant Application in so were hoping were hopeful we can see that in the next year, t
