TITLE: Ocean Piers Condition Assessment Study — Approval of Professional
Services Agreement with COWI North America, Inc. (17H03)
ABSTRACT:
The City conducts biennial (below -deck) inspection and maintenance of both the Newport
and Balboa Piers to ensure that they are maintained in good working condition. The City
issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for an Ocean Pier Condition Assessment Study to
review and identify any possible structural deficiencies or repair items needed on these
two ocean piers. Staff now recommends the approval of a Professional Services
Agreement with COWI North America, Inc. to conduct said structural review.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because
this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly;
and
b) Approve a Professional Services Agreement with COWI North America, Inc. (COWI)
of Long Beach, California for the Ocean Piers Inspection project at a not -to -exceed
price of $177,647, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the agreement.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
The adopted FY 2020-21 Capital Improvement Program budget includes sufficient
funding for this agreement. The services will be expensed to the Tidelands Capital
Account No. 10101-980000-17H03 in the Ocean Piers Inspection and Maintenance
project (17H03).
DISCUSSION:
Both Newport Pier and Balboa Pier were constructed over 50 years ago. In order to keep
both piers in a satisfactory operating condition a biennial (every two years) assessment
is conducted. The project will generally include pier sub -structure, piles and joint
hardware inspections, and non-destructive surface testing. The inspection findings will
be used to design a publicly -bid pier maintenance project to correct any deficiencies
identified in the report.

On August 6, 2020, staff solicited proposals from consultants specializing in marine
inspection via PlanetBids. The staff -based evaluation panel reviewed the five (5) received
proposals based on each firm's project understanding, experience, qualifications,
inspection approach, deliverables and projected level of effort. The panel rated Moffit &
Nichol (M&N) and COWI within a few points of each other. Staff sought additional
information from the two highly -qualified firms, both of whom have successfully performed
pier inspections for the City within the last 5 years. At the end of process, staff determined
COWI is the most qualified and responsive firm for the project.
A summary of the scope of services is provided below:
1. Conduct below -deck inspection of Balboa Pier's full span;
2. Conduct below -deck inspection of Newport Pier in its entirety, with the exception
of the end of the pier, between bents No. 48 and 53. This section was recently
inspected under a separate contract and will be upgraded under a separate effort;
and
3. Prepare a comprehensive formal inspection report noting the pier condition and
prioritized list of maintenance and repair recommendations.
Staff recommends approving a PSA with COWI to complete the scope of services listed
above, which is further described in the consultant's proposal (Attachment B). Given that
specialized equipment and certified divers must be deployed for this project, staff found
the proposed negotiated not -to -exceed services fee of $177,647 to be a reasonable cost.
With City Council approval, the pier inspections will begin in January 2021 and be
completed in mid-April 2021.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not
result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment)
and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of
the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).

RE: REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS - OCEAN PIERS CONDITION ASSESSMENT STUDY
Dear Mr. Tse and Ms. Cho,
COWI North America, Inc. (COWI) is excited to submit this proposal for Ocean Piers Condition
Assessment Study Project (Project) to the City of Newport Beach (City). In this Project, we recognize a
great opportunity to assist the City with a robust set of updated reports and intelligence for formulating
its strategy to rehabilitate and return each Pier to an overall condition rating of at least 90 out of 100.
Historic landmarks from the 1940's, the Piers are a popular magnet for recreation and relaxation. This
Condition Assessment Study (Study) marks a critical step in restoring the integrity of this enduring
oasis for the City and its community.
With 90 years of experience in marine engineering and specialization in waterfront structures, COWI is
uniquely qualified to provide a comprehensive and in-depth Study for the Project's successfully delivery.
Much of our work includes inspection, repair, retrofit, and rehabilitation of piers and wharves, many
of which are timber structures similar to the Newport Pier. In our proposal we list 25 such projects
completed within the past few years. We completed the previous inspection of these 2 piers in 2017.
Some of these structures have been inspected a number of times over the years.
Extensive Experience in Structural and Condition Assessment
Our engineers and engineer -divers have over twenty years of experience inspecting and providing
structural and condition assessments and repair/improvement designs, which are practical and cost
effective. Because we have good working relationships with owners and contractors, we are able to
understand the project goals and the contractor's preferred means and methods, thus minimizing
project costs and the construction schedule.
Our project manager, Warren Stewart P.E., S.E., D.PE is a California registered Structural Engineer with
over 48 years of experience in the area of inspection, assessment and repair of waterfront structures.
He is a Diplomate of the Academy of Coastal, Ocean, Port & Navigation Engineers, which certifies
experienced marine engineers in Port Engineering. Mr. Stewart is an Orange County resident and
works out of our office in Irvine, which is 6 miles from your office and 10 miles from the Balboa Pier.
10-7
Our Unrivalled Differentiators
While a number of our competitors are qualified for this work, only COWI offers the following extra
value to the City:
COWI North America, Inc. was commissioned to perform the most recent repair design inspection
for the Newport and Balboa ocean piers, and the preparation of contract documents for the
resulting repair project.
We completed the inspection and condition assessment of the Seal Beach Municipal Pier, a
structure very similar to the Newport Pier.
, Our inspection diving team, led by a California registered P.E.-Diver, performed the underwater
inspection for both projects.
, Most of the team assigned worked together on these two projects mentioned above.
We use a snooper, specially modified for California Ocea Piers, to gain up close access to the
underdeck structure and utilities.
We invite you to review our proposal and discover the extensive experience and value we bring to
this project. A fee proposal is provided in a separate sealed envelope.
Should you have any questions on the proposal, or need additional information, please call either
Warren Stewart at (562) 547-3918 or Jack Gerwick at (650) 468-7583.

NEWPORT PIER ISNEPCTION AND D
OCEAN PIERS MAINTENANCE INSPECTION AND DESIGN 12018
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, CA
COWI North America, Inc. was commissioned
in 2016 to perform a repair design inspection for
both the Newport and Balboa ocean piers, and
the preparation of contract documents for the
resulting repair project. These two timber piers
are each approximately 1,000 feet in length
and extend into the Pacific Ocean to a depth of
about -20 ft MLLW. The Balboa Pier is over 100
years old while the Newport Pier is about 75
years old. The structures consist of timber deck
spanning over closely spaced timber stringers.
The stringers are supported by pile caps at 20
ft on centers. The caps are supported by timber
piles.
Numerous repairs have been completed
over the years and the current project was to
evaluate the condition of each pier, document
the condition of the repairs made, and to
prioritize and recommend additional repairs for
the upcoming years.
Both underwater and above water
inspections were conducted in accordance
with ASCE MOP -130 Waterfront Facilities
Inspection and Assessment at each
pier. The underdeck was inspected using
a special purpose snooper which allowed
inspection engineers up -close visual and tactile
inspections. Inspection information was entered
into a MS Access database.
DSAL FOR
SERVICES
During the underwater inspection, serious
conditions were encountered with a number
of piles on the Balboa Pier, which required
an urgent repair project to be undertaken.
COWI provided the preliminary details and
the City prepared the design and PS&E for an
emergency repair project. Construction Cost:
$1.2M.

SEAL BEACH MUNICIPAL PIER INSPECTION & ASSESSMENT 12015
SEAL BEACH, CA
The City of Seal Beach retained COWI to
perform structural inspection and assessment
of the Seal Beach Municipal Pier. The 1,865
ft -long pier, originally built in 1906, is the seco
For the inspection, COWI mobilized a six -person
inspection team to complete all the work within
four days. A specially modified trailer -mounted
nd snooper platform was utilized to gain close
longest wooden pier in California and extends
900 ft unsheltered into the Pacific Ocean. Torn
in half in 1983 by severe winter storms, the
middle portion was reconstructed in 1985.
Over the years, the pier also endured fires
and earthquake damage. The pier is used
for sightseeing and fishing and serves as the
loading and unloading point for several crew
boats for the nearby offshore oil platforms.
The timber structure consists of piles,
longitudinal and lateral bracing, cap beams,
stringers, blocking, deck and railing. Various
utilities (fire & potable water, sewer, electrical,
telecommunications, and gas lines) run under
or alongside the deck. The project was divided
into three primary tasks: inspections and
evaluation of existing conditions, prepare a
structural condition assessment, and provided
recommendations for repair and maintenance.
The inspection was performed in compliance
with ASCE MOP 130 — Waterfront Facilities
Inspection and Assessment (ASCE 2015) and
ASCE Underwater Investigations, Standard
Practice Manual No. 101 (ASCE 2001).
access to the underdeck structure and utilities.
The above water inspection was completed
by California registered PE's with significant
experience in the type of work. The piles were
inspected by surface- supplied engineer -divers,
one of whom was a California registered PE.
During the inspection, notes were collected
using a special purpose Access database
running on a laptop, and an IPad running
Bluebeam Review. Notes were also collected
by hand with recorded audio notes. The above
water and underwater inspection notes were
merged into a single database. Inspectors
noted the severity of the items in the field
while recording the data. Back in the office,
the same inspectors sorted the findings into
various priority levels for reporting repair
recommendations back to the City. Cost
estimates were developed to provide budgetary
information for including in City's maintenance
budgets.

OCEAN PIER REPAIR 12018
SAN CLEMENTE, CA
The San Clemente ocean pier was originally
constructed in 1928 and reconstructed in 1938 after a
hurricane battered the coast. It was reconstructed and
repaired again after severe damage during the winter
storms of 1983. The pier was constructed with timber
piles supporting a 12 x 12 timber pile cap spaced at 16
ft on -center, supporting 4 x 12 timber stringers spaced
at 20 in. on center, with 12 x 3 timber decking. This
is unusual framing (similar piers along the coast use 4
x 16 stringers and thicker decking) which contributed
to the lower load rating. Further out, the structure was
constructed using steel piles and caps, but with the
stringers and deck the same.
In 2018, the City of San Clemente let a construction
contract to repair the pier. The previous repair project
was completed circa 2009. COWI was retained by the
project contractor, Associated Pacific Constructors,
Inc., to evaluate the capacity of the pier to support
the proposed construction equipment and provide
other construction engineering services. Because pile
driving from the deck of the pier was necessary, the
capacity of various members of the pier (i.e., deck,
stringers, cap, and piles) to support a heavy crane
was checked. Other equipment and vehicles were also
analyzed. Protection and reinforcement of the structure
was required as the existing loading restrictions
limited access to only small vehicles. All while the pier
remained essentially opened to the public, except
under special circumstances and then only when the
work was being done.
The pier superstructure consists of various timber
members from different time periods, which were
assumed to be in fair or better condition since
none were indicated as needing repair. While major
reconstruction was completed after 1983, there were
some members left over from the reconstruction after
1939. Understanding the difference in nominal timber
sections over the years played a significant role.
COWI reviewed all the available old and new
construction drawings for the contractor, pointing out
various issues they would deal with. We prepared
calculations and drawings, which were sealed and
stamped and submitted to the City for review by
their EOR. Various cranes and configurations were
analyzed. Just getting the crane out to the bent
requiring new piles was challenging. The crane had to
be light enough not to overload the deck (even with
crane mats, but still have reach and capacity to set
back on good piles while it worked on the bad piles.
COWI developed specific load capacity charts for
the selected crane that allowed it to reach over
the front with full load and small slew angles; but
had to boom -in for other angles. COWI checked
all the equipment that would be used, and prepared
plans indicating where they could travel and operate.
COWI even requested the contractor to measure and
report actual section sizes when discrepancies were
suspected.
While it was apparent that the EOR had not
considered the difficulties the contractor would have
on this unusual pier, COWI devise a game plan that
worked.

COWI MARINE PROPOSAL FOR
NEWPORT PIER ISNEPCTION AND DESIGN SERVICES
2 TEAM AND
RESUMES
Our Engineers are well experienced in timber inspection, engineering, and the
design of repairs and upgrades, and have worked on multiple waterfront facility
inspection and condition assessment projects. As many of our timber repair
and upgrade design projects have recently been constructed, we possess
current cost knowledge of repairs to timber structures. We are experts in
seismic analysis as it relates to marine structures and have nine California
registered Structural Engineers on staff.
Our Irvine Office Manager headed the national ASCE/COPRI committee which
wrote the comprehensive Waterfront Inspection Manual. Other COWI Engineers
sit on the ASCE/COPRI Ports and Harbor committee, which addresses many
current issues regarding waterfront structures.
Our Engineers are also fully practiced in all the codes and standards commonly
applied for structural design and inspection of marine structures. Because
different types of structures and the use thereof require conformance to
different codes, our engineers not only have to understand the differences in
codes, but also the similarities. For example, a marine oil terminal in California
will need to comply with the California Building Code, Section 31 F (commonly
known as MOTEMS), but an ocean pier with a building will need to comply
with the local building code (which is also based upon the CBC but may
include local ordinances as well). A commercial wharf located in the Ports of
Los Angeles and Long Beach will need to conform to the wharf design criteria
of the individual port. The US Navy has its own pier and wharf criteria as well.
Other standards would include ASCE 7, ASCE 101 Underwater Investigations
Standard Practice Manual, offshore codes, API, ACI 318, ASCE Manual of
Practice 130 — Waterfront Facilities Inspection and Assessment, and many
others.

SELECTED PROJECTS
REPAIRS TO SAN CLEMENTE OCEAN PIER - CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING, SAN CLEMENTE, CA. 2018.
Principal Engineer and Project Manager to evaluate the capacity of the pier to support proposed construction
equipment and provide other construction engineering services. The San Clemente ocean pier was originally
constructed in 1928 and reconstructed in 1938 after a hurricane battered the coast. It was reconstructed and repaired
again after severe damage during the winter storms of 1983. The pier was constructed with timber piles supporting a
12 x 12 timber pile cap spaced at 16 ft on -center, supporting 4 x 12 timber stringers spaced at 20 in. on center, with
12 x 3 timber decking. In 2018, the City of San Clemente let a construction contract to repair the pier. The San
Clemente Pier differs from other ocean piers on the California coast in that the framing is lighter, requiring a much -
reduced traffic load. COWI was retained by the project contractor, Associated Pacific Constructors, Inc. to advise and
prepare calculations and drawings for submittal and approval by the City. Because pile driving from the deck of the
pier was necessary, the capacity of various members of the pier (i.e., deck, stringers, cap, and piles) to support a
heavy crane was checked. Other equipment and vehicles were also analyzed. Protection and reinforcement of the
structure was required as the existing loading restrictions limited access to only small vehicles. All while the pier
remained essentially opened to the public.
OCEAN PIERS MAINTENANCE INSPECTION AND DESIGN NEWPORT BEACH, CA. 2016-2018. Project Manager.
These two timber piers are approximately 1,000 feet in length and extend into the Pacific Ocean to a depth of about
-20 ft MLLW. The Balboa Pier is over 100 years old while the Newport Pier is about 75 years old. Numerous repairs
have been completed over the years and the current project was to evaluate the condition of each pier and to prioritize
and recommend additional repairs for the upcoming years. Both an underwater and above water inspection was
COAR
10-29
conducted in accordance with ASCE MOP -130 Waterfront Facilities Inspection and Assessment. Project manager for the
repair design inspection of the Newport and Balboa ocean piers, and the design of the resulting repair project(s). The
underdeck was inspected using a special purpose snooper which allowed up -close visual and tactile inspections. Upon
completion of the inspection, contract documents (PS&E's) for the repair project were prepared. A construction
contract for the repairs was let by the contract in the fall of 2017 with completion Q2 2018. Construction phase
services were provided. Construction cost, $1.2M.
INSPECTION OF THE SEAL BEACH MUNICIPAL PIER, SEAL BEACH, CA. 2015. Project Manager. Originally built
in 1906, with an overall length of 1,865 ft, the pier is the second longest wooden pier in California. The timber
structure consists of piles, longitudinal & lateral bracing, cap beams, stringers, blocking, deck and railing. Various
utilities (fire & potable water, sewer, electrical, telecommunications, and gas lines) run under or alongside the deck.
The project included above and underwater inspections and evaluation of existing conditions, structural condition
assessment report, and recommendations for repair and maintenance. The inspection was performed in compliance
with ASCE Waterfront Facilities Inspection and Assessment, MOP 130 and ASCE Underwater Investigations, Standard
Practice Manual No. 101. COWI mobilized a six -man inspection team to complete all the work within four days. A
specially modified trailer -mounted snooper platform was utilized to gain close access to the underdeck structure and
utilities. The piles were inspected by surface supplied engineer -divers.
RINCON ISLAND CAUSEWAY INSPECTION & REPAIRS, VENTURA, CA. 2015-2016. Project Manager. Project
Manager for the inspection and repairs of the steel and timber structure leading to the man-made Rincon oil
production island approximately 1/2 mile off -shore. Constructed in the late 1950s, this structure consists of 66 bents (of
either one or two 24 -IN diameter steel piles each), supporting 40 -FT long steel stringers, and a timber deck. A recent
project to repair and reconstruct approximately two-thirds of the structure had been completed. The remaining
portion, plus a concrete dock on the island, was the subject of this inspection and investigation. Work included
underwater inspection of the remaining piles, review of previous inspections and UDT steel thickness data, and design
of temporary repairs to obtain a 10 -ton load rating. Work also included above water and underwater inspection of the
concrete dock, condition assessment, and preliminary design of temporary measures to allow the off-loading of 40 -ton
drilling equipment.
POST -EVENT INSPECTION OF THE BELMONT PIER, CITY OF LONG BEACH, CA. 2017-2018. Project Manager.
Project Manager for a post -event and routine inspection of the Belmont Pier, including both underwater and under
deck inspections. Storms in early March of 2017 caused some damage to this iconic public access concrete ocean pier
in the Belmont area of Long Beach. The entire pier was closed afterwards, pending inspection and verification that it
was safe to open. The post -event evaluation, which was conducted first, found no storm damage to the main structure
and after the second day of the inspection, the pier was reopened (having blocked off the small boat dock areas that
were damaged). The routine inspection followed immediately thereafter, which assessed the overall condition of the
pier and noted additional deterioration since the last inspection in 2013. Both inspections followed ASCE MOP -130
Waterfront Facilities Inspection and Assessment guidelines.
PORT OF LOS ANGELES - B57-60 INSPECTION FOR CITY DOCK 1, PORT OF LOS ANGELES, CA. 2011-2012.
Project Manager. Believed to be one of the oldest facilities at the port (constructed circa 1913 and widened circa
1938), the structure is planned to be redeveloped into a modern marine institute, with the existing transit sheds to be
reused as classrooms and labs. The berths will homeport research vessels and berth visiting vessels. Due to age and
turn -of -the -century construction techniques, the wharf structure suffers from severe deterioration. Above water and
underwater inspections were carried out to document the deficiencies in order that a repair project could be
conceptualized and estimated for future funding, and a repair project developed. Project Manager for the inspection for
repair design and seismic analysis of a 2,500 ft long commercial wharf at the Port of Los Angeles. As part of the
project, a seismic analysis and retrofit planning project was undertaken to determine the feasibility and costs of
needed improvements to bring the old wharf up to modern seismic code suitable for supporting (in part) habitable
buildings, while conforming to the LA City Building Code. Client: Port of Los Angeles. Construction Cost: $25M Phase 1,
$50-70M total (estimate).

Ocean Piers Maintenance Inspection Report; Newport Pier 2016
1 BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY
The City of Newport Beach retained COWI Marine North America (COWI) to
perform repair level Structural Assessment Inspections of the Newport Pier',
Contract C 8188-1. The project was divided into three primary tasks: Task 1 - Data
Review and Project Planning; Task 2 - Perform Repair Design Inspection; Task 3 -
Comprehensive report; Task 4 - Plans, Specifications, and Cost Estimates (PS&E).
The inspections were performed in compliance with ASCE MOP 130 - Waterfront
Facilities Inspection and Assessment (ASCE 2015) and ASCE Underwater
Investigations, Standard Practice Manual No. 101 (ASCE 2001). This report
addresses the findings and recommendations for Newport Pier.
Originally built in 1940, the pier has a length of approximately 1,013 ft. The
width of the pier is typically 24 ft starting from shore with a widened area 40 ft
wide at bents 26 through 28, and then 30 ft wide to bent No. 48. The pier is 80 ft
wide for the final section, approximately 100 ft to Bent 53. The 80 -ft wide end
section was not included in our scope of work. The headquarters of the Newport
Beach fire department's Lifeguard division is located adjacent to the landside end of
the pier. The structure consists of timber piles, cap beams, stringers, blocking,
transverse vertical bracing, horizontal bracing under the stringers, concrete deck,
and railing. Longitudinal bracing is only located at the offshore end of the pier which
was not included in our scope. The pier underwent a rehabilitation project
constructed by the John S. Meek, Company in 2002. The current concrete deck
was installed at that time.
Inspection of the Balboa Ocean Pier was also included in the Contract which is the subject of a
separate report.

Ocean Piers Maintenance Inspection Report, Newport Pier 2016
Figure I - Newport Pier Location, Newport Beach, CA
KIM
The Pier is currently used for sightseeing and fishing. The public has access
to the entire length of the pier, but the building at the offshore end, beyond bent
49, is closed. This building most recently housed Newport Pier Grill and Sushi. The
scope of this inspection included the pier through bent 47, excluding bents 48
through 53.
The last condition assessment of the pier was performed by American Marine
Corporation in 2014 (American Marine 2014), from which the 2014/2015 repair
project was generated. In their report, the Pier was assessed to be in overall Good
condition but with defects noted and recommendations for repair. We note that the
definitions for the ratings used in the American Marine Corporation report do not
match the standard definitions we have used. As previously mentioned, the
definitions used throughout our report are based on ASCE MOP 130 - Waterfront
Facilities Inspection and Assessment (ASCE 2015) and ASCE Underwater
Investigations, Standard Practice Manual No. 101 (ASCE 2001). MOP 130 had not
been adopted at the time of the previous inspection in 2013. In 2015, repairs were

Ocean Piers Maintenance Inspection Report, Newport Pier 2016
Public Work Department (Newport Beach PWD 2014), which in turn were based on
recommendations from the 2013 inspection report.
Based on our findings, we determined that the observed deterioration is
affecting the load-bearing capacity of a localized area of the pier, and requires
immediate rehabilitation. As a result, the pier is in Serious Condition2. Upon
completion of the immediate repairs the pier may be upgraded to a condition
assessment rating of Fair, pending re -assessment by a qualified
engineer. Generally the timber framing is in Fair to Satisfactory Condition. Isolated
damage to bracing was noted but it is general free of significant defects. One
typical defect for the length of the pier framing is the splice connection at the
easternmost stringers. The tension capacity at these stringers is in serious question
due to the deterioration of the bolts and should be restored.
There are 5 piles with Severe damage, localized to bents 40 and 41.
Hardware condition varies from no damage to Severe damage. Typical underwater
pile observations include failed interfaces between flexible marine pile wraps and
grout encapsulations, exposed timber piles at the mudline, and damaged wraps.
Approximately 19 grout encapsulation, 19 concrete encasement, and 157 wrap
repairs are present.
The primary issue we observed, which should be addressed immediately, is
the condition of the 5 Severely damaged piles located on bents 40 and 41. Less
urgently but also recommended to be repaired is straps, hardware, and bolts with
Major or Severe rust should be cleaned and repainted or replaced. Piles with
ineffective interfaces between concrete encasements and wraps should be
addressed with new wraps or sleeves to seal the interface. The stringer tension
splices at the exterior stringers contain bolts that are typically in poor condition.
z As compared to American Marine's "Good" condition rating. Per MOP 130, "Good" and "Satisfactory" ratings are
only appropriate when no repairs are required. The highest possible rating for a structure requiring repairs is "Fair".

are in the best condition, as would be expected as this type was used in the
2014/15 repairs. Bolts though the pile to cap connections range in condition from

The remaining observed conditions are Moderate, and have not resulted in
significant section loss or heavy marine borer infestation. However, it should be
noted that these conditions, if left unchecked, will ultimately result in section loss
and potentially expensive rehabilitation repairs. At four locations, the interface
between the pile wrap and the grout encapsulation has failed, and the timber pile
is exposed to the marine environment (Photo 36). Per the Level III investigation
results, described above, these locations have not progressed as significantly and

SAMPLE RECOMMENDATIONS
W/ PRIOTY OF REPAIRS cova
Ocean Piers Maintenance Inspection Report; Newport Pier 2016
5 REPAIR RECOMMENDATIONS
The following are our recommendations for repairs, listed by priority.
5.1 Immediate repairs
1. Piles 40-13, 40-D, 41-13, 41-D, and 41-E should be repaired on an
immediate basis to restore capacity to the pier. The recommended repair
is a structural encasement, which extends from approximately 1 ft below
the existing timber diagonal bracing to approximately 2 ft below the
existing mudline. The encasement will comprise fiberglass formwork
around longitudinal reinforcing steel, confined by welded wire
reinforcement, which will be encased in concrete.
5.2 Priority repairs
1. Stringer splices with an overall rating of Major or Severe should be
repaired at the east (17 locations) and west (20 locations) to retain and
assure tension capacity. This is especially necessary in a pier without
longitudinal bracing. A steel splice plate similar to the one utilized on the
west side could be installed on the east stringers when the bolts are
replaced. On the west side only bolts need to be replaced.
2. Vertical diagonal bracing bolts with Major or Severe corrosion should be
replaced with stainless steel bolts.
3. Pile to cap connection plates with Major or Severe corrosion should be
replaced with galvanized steel angles similar to the Type 3 connection
shown in photo .
4. Where the pile wrap to grout interface has failed (4 locations), Severe
deterioration is not present, and installing an interface repair is
recommended. The repair should include the removal of the pile wrap
from the grout encapsulation up approximately 2 ft, to ensure that no
marine borer deterioration is present. Once confirmed, the wrap will be
24
10-48
KIM
Ocean Piers Maintenance Inspection Report, Newport Pier 2016
sealed with a new gasket, and an epoxy encapsulation will be installed.
The new encapsulation will extend from the existing encapsulation up
approximately 3 ft, overlapping the pile wrap approximately 1 ft, and will
have the same profile as the current encapsulation.
5. Where timber pile is exposed at the mudline (2 locations), installation of a
bottom encapsulation is recommended. The repair includes the
installation of a grout encapsulation, which will extend a minimum of 2 ft
below the existing mudline and will overlap the existing pile wrap a
minimum of 1 ft.
6. At the location where the pile wrap is damaged or failed removal of the
existing damage wrap from the bottom of the observed damage to the
upper extent of the wrap is recommended. At the lower extent of wrap
removal a new gasket seal should be installed. Once the existing wrap is
resealed, a new wrap should be installed extending from the lower
elevation of the diagonal bracing and overlapping the existing wrap
approximately 1 ft.
5.3 Future repairs
We recommend monitoring every three to five years, instances of Minor to
Moderate checking on piles; monitoring of piles with scour at the base/mudline and
instances of Minor to Moderate corrosion of hardware and bolts.
If the above repairs are done within the suggested timeframe, the next
inspection is recommended to take place five years hence. If the recommended
repairs cannot be done within the proposed timeframe, an inspection in 3 years
should be undertaken to determine the status of items listed above with respect to
further deterioration.

COWI MARINE PROPOSAL FOR
NEWPORT PIER ISNEPCTION AND DESIGN SERVICES
TASK 1 — PRE -FIELD WORK
PRE -INSPECTION SITE VISIT
The project manager and field engineer will
perform a site visit to familiarize themselves
with the current conditions and any access
constraints for the inspection teams as well
as for the future repair contractor. COWI will
coordinate with City staff on site access, safety,
security requirements, emergency and on-site
coordination contacts, and any other concerns
that may arise. COWI will examine the site to
note any remaining obstacles that would impact
our inspection and bring such to the attention of
the City.
DATA GATHERING AND REVIEW
COWI will review the existing drawings, previous
inspection reports, and any completed repair
drawings/ photographs provided, including the
recent repairs completed under City project
"Ocean Piers Maintenance, C-7126-1 ", which
COWI prepared in 2017 and the John S. Meek
Construction Company completed the repair.
COWI will identify any missing information that
could be helpful for the inspection'.
From our previous inspection, we already have
an electronic database of the members for
survey and documentation of findings. During
the above and underwater inspection, the note
takers will record observations from the divers
directly into this inspection database which is
pre -populated with the results of our previous
inspection findings and repair information.
This will assist the divers with locating existing
defects quickly and allow them to rapidly
determine if the damage has increased in
magnitude or extent. Likewise, the above water
inspectors will record results directly into hand-
held devices.
INSPECTION PLANNING — GENERAL
Prior to the field activities, the team will develop
a complete inspection plan and schedule for the
City's review and approval. Among other things,
the plan will include:
, Divers' certifications
, All personnel and their contact information
Details of proposed equipment, with
equipment staging plan, the below -deck
access method,
Work schedule showing the seventy-five (75)
working days allotment
' While we have some of the construction information from C-7126-1 (such as RFI's and submittals), we do not have any as -built
information, which would be helpful in the inspection.
10-67
In addition, we will have an internal meeting to
review the findings of the previous condition
assessment reports- and the typical repair
details that may be utilized for the repair. By
reviewing these repair details in advance, the
field inspection engineers will be able to assign
most of the repair types while in the field.
ENGINEERING INSPECTION PLANNING
— UNDERWATER
Engineer -divers from COWI will perform the
underwater portion of the inspection under
the supervision of a California registered
professional engineer -diver. The proposed
method for the underwater inspection of piles
would then consist of the following:
2
3
Perform a Level I inspection on 100% of
the piles: This level of effort includes a
visual and tactile evaluation to detect gross
defects or breakage. Observed defects will
be noted and assigned an anticipated repair
type.
Perform a Level 112 2 inspection on
approximately 10% of the piles: This level of
effort will include cleaning of marine growth
in order to detect surface defects that
may otherwise be obscured by the marine
growth. The existing protective wraps
will not be removed. The cleaning will be
performed at three elevations; mudline, mid-
level, and top of growth. A visual inspection
of the exposed portions of the pile will
be completed. Observed defects will be
recorded and an anticipated repair type will
be assigned to the pile.
Perform Level III inspections for selected
piles: A certain number of piles may also be
selected for testing, depending upon results
of the Level I and Level II inspections. This
is considered optional work and would be
priced and authorized separately at time of
need. Typically, this may require the removal
and replacement of the wraps.
Cowl MARINE PROPOSAL FOR
NEWPORT PIER ISNEPCTION AND DESIGN SERVICES
In order to identify all underwater defects
requiring repair, it would be necessary to remove
essentially all the marine growth to observe
splits, erosion, damage to wraps, etc. Since
the full cleaning and inspection of all elements
would be costly to complete, a sampling is
used to estimate the total expected number
of defects to be repaired. By performing the
proposed inspection on a sample, COWI can
reasonably determine final repair quantities
in a short inspection time and at significantly
reduced costs. Cleaning all the elements will not
reduce the future construction cost, as the piles
will need to be cleaned again prior to repair. If
a significant percentage of piles are found to
contain damage requiring action following the
Level II inspection, COWI will meet with the
City to determine a course of action. Additional
Level II inspections may be recommended,
or additional repair materials orders may be
recommended based on the statistical findings.
Locations for their application to be determined
when the repair contractor is on site.
ENGINEERING INSPECTION PLANNING
— ABOVE WATER
The above water inspection comprises the
under -deck (including utilities) and above -deck
portions of the structure. COWI will be using a
snooper platform for the under -deck inspection
that has been specially modified for working
under California's ocean piers.
2 As defined in ASCE Underwater Investigations, Standard Practice Manual No. 101. Level II is a detailed inspection requiring the removal
of marine growth. Level III consists of testing using non-destructive or limited destructive measures to quantify damage or deterioration of
key structural members. Typical sampling and tests could include taking cores for later lab testing and in-situ ultrasonic testing.

COWI MARINE PROPOSAL FOR
NEWPORT PIER ISNEPCTION AND DESIGN SERVICES
Platform Length 32 ft 6 in (10 m)
MODEL HP 32
This will allow our engineers to get their hands
on structural elements, allowing for a much
more thorough inspection, and also allow for
up -close photographs. Generally speaking, it
is not necessary to access every bay in this
manner and this proposal assumes that every
other bay will be accessed by the snooper,
with intermediate bays visually inspected. In
the event that a significant defect is observed
in the adjacent bay requiring tactile inspection,
the snooper can be so positioned. This is a key
component of our inspection, but requires that
full access to the deck be available. Generally
this means that at least 15 ft of clearance along
the rail be provided and tight corners will be
avoided. Engineers will note, rate, and record
visible defects, and assign a proposed method
of repair.
SAFETY PLANNING
While coordinating our activities with the City,
COWI will develop and submit work plans
for the City's review and approval prior to the
commencement of any field investigations.
Steps included in the work plan are typically:
A pre-inspection/pre-dive kickoff meeting to be
scheduled with the City and personnel with a
discussion of known hazards at the site.
Vessel schedule review (if applicable) and an
order of operations will be proposed for review
and approval.
Notifications to the Coast Guard, life guards,
police, and others as necessary that diving
operations will be conducted at the facility.
Dive Safety Plans in conformance with the US
Navy Diving Manual limits.
Emergency procedures, numbers, and routes
to medical facilities.
, A review of any unusual marine activity
expected in the area.
Additional items as necessary as planning
proceeds.
Safety planning is for COWI personnel and the
general public during our inspection activities
only and does not include any other work
performed by others, including any maintenance
activities or construction contracts that may
arise from this contract.
TASK 2 — FIELD WORK
COWI will perform a Repair Design Inspection
of the Pier as described above. This type of
inspection collects specific information regarding
quantities and types of repairs needed. It
anticipates that a repair project is imminent,
and that the information collected can be
effectively incorporated into the repair contract
documents.
The team leader for the overall field inspection
activities will be Mr. Warren Stewart, P.E., S.E.
(CA). The above water inspection will be led

by Mr. Jim Kearney, P.E. (CA) and assisted by
Marc Percher, P.E. The underwater inspection
leader will be engineer -diver, Jonathan Boynton,
who will coordinate daily with Mr. Kearney.
The above water and underwater teams will
be onsite at the same time. Both teams have
performed numerous pile -supported timber
waterfront structure inspections, have worked
together on the previous Newport and Balboa
pier inspection, and are very familiar with the
common deterioration mechanisms and repairs
for marine timber structures.
Our engineers and engineer -divers will record
the following information:
Type of defect (e.g. crack, erosion, or section
loss)
Location of defect (e.g. side of pile & elevation;
deck soffit or bent sides, located X & 1)
Position of the defect on the structural
component (e.g. vertical or horizontal)
Size of the defect (e.g. length, width, and
depth)
Photographs of the defects. Where visibility is
limited, COWI will utilize a clearwater box with
underwater DSLR camera to record general
conditions and typical defects.
For the above water inspections, COWI will
perform a complete visual inspection with tactile
inspection as needed and where possible.
Photos will be taken to document findings.
Items listed in the City's Scope of Services will
be specifically addressed.
COWI will attend a weekly on-site 30 -minute
progress meeting with the City's Project
Administrator. Interested City personnel are then
welcome to join COWI's inspection team during
the inspection for a tour of the structure above
and below the deck to gain personal knowledge
of the extent and severity of the typical defects
COWI identifies.
As occurred during our previous inspection
of these piers, the City will be immediately
notified of any imminently hazardous conditions
observed should such be found.
PREPARE A DATA REPORT OF ALL
DEFECTS
COWI will prepare a written report of findings,
which will identify the type, size, location, and
position of the defects observed, provide
photographs of typical conditions and defects,
and summarize the total quantities (data report).
If requested, the report will be issued to City
as a draft for review, questions, comment,
and discussion prior to our completion of the
Repair Recommendation Report; otherwise
it will be included in the final report with
recommendations.
As previously noted, all the defect information
will be included in an electronic database. The
data can then be sorted and queried according
to a number of parameters. For example,
detailed repair lists can be prepared depending
10-71
upon the priority of the defects. Numerous lists
can thus be easily generated based upon your
requests. A sample is provided in Section 6 -
Other Information.
TASK 3 — REPORTS AND SUBMITTALS
REPORT
Upon completion of the inspection and
preparation of the defect database, COWI will
prepare a comprehensive report of our findings
and recommendations for each pier according
to the following:
An Executive Summary complete with an
overall condition rating for that Pier.
A detailed listing of all inspection findings and
recommendations.
The reports will be logically organized, starting
from Bent No. 1 seaward.
Prior to submitting the report, we will provide
the proposed reporting format to the Project
Administrator for collaboration and acceptance.
COWI MARINE PROPOSAL FOR
NEWPORT PIER ISNEPCTION AND DESIGN SERVICES
Because all the information resides in a
database, the bulk information in the reports
can be automatically generated according to
a preferred style sheet. This can be a simple
listing, or a more sophisticated presentation as
shown in the figure below.
We understand that the City prefers to use a
numeric item rating system 1 to 5, with "5"
being best or new condition. While the previous
information was store using the ASCE MOP 130
mnemonic system (MN, MD, MJ, SV), it's an
easy matter to convert.
Although we typically don't take a photo of
every defect (traditionally managing 5000 or
more photos is very time consuming), with
modern automatic data collection systems
this should not be a problem. As requested,
the worst rated items shall be qualified by
accompanying photographs of the defect(s).
We will also submit photographs of the below
deck lifeguard rescue ramp and hoists.

GRAPHIC PRESENTATION OF FINDINGS
While PS&E's are not required, we understand
that the City desires the information collected
be transferred to D -size drawing sheets. We
assume that these would then be used by the
City in preparing contract drawings for the
repairs.
There are two methods to present the data: (1)
using general details with a schedule of defects
(this was done for the previous repair project);
and (2) a cross-section for each bent with
notation regarding the items to be replaced/
repaired. Method 1 is easier if vector AutoCAD
drawings are desired. Method 2 is possible if
sketches (as shown above) can be assembled
as raster images in the AutoCAD drawings.
Our cost proposal assumes either Method 1 or
Method 2.
PRIORITIZE NEEDED REPAIRS AND
MAINTENANCE
COWI will evaluate and prioritize the repairs
COWI MARINE PROPOSAL FOR
NEWPORT PIER ISNEPCTION AND DESIGN SERVICES
LIMITATIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS
This proposal is based upon the following
assumptions and limitations. Additional fees
or adjustments to this scope of work may
be required. See Section 2 for detail of fees
adjustments known at this time.
1. Delays beyond COWI's control during
inspection will be charged at the standby
rates indicated in Section 2.
2. In order to take advantage of light wind and
ocean swells in the morning, COWI will start
work as soon as daylight permits. Although
COWI plans on an 8 hour work day + lunch,
circumstances may require additional hours.
There will be no additional charge for over-
time. Also, circumstances may require that
COWI work on Saturdays.
3. Areas under the foot of each pier are
fenced off. COWI will inspect these areas
as possible if provided access. Some area
may be inaccessible due to unforeseen
conditions. COWI will attempt a work-
needed. During the inspection, each defect will
be assigned a repair type and given a priority
code. These can be color coded as needed.
Because all the defects are included in the
database, reports can be run to identify and
group defects according to their severity code.
From this list, a repair project can be created to 4
address those that are most severe and then
include lower priority repairs according to City
budget.
Deliverables: A comprehensive report to include:
(a) inspection overview and methodology;
(b) summary of findings and design
recommendations, based on repair needs;
(c) assessment criteria; (d) condition report of
piles, pile caps, pile wraps, bracing, stringers,
attaching hardware, and any noted attributes;
(e) new improvements and repair needs
recommendation; and (f) electronic library of all
images taken during the inspection process.
Progress submittals will be submitted for review
and comment by the City at the 65% and
80% completion levels. Upon receipt of written
comments, COWI will address and incorporate
comments as applicable into the report and
submit a final report. All submittals will be by
electronic file (PDF) only.
around, but the report and inspection data
may not include this area. If authorized and
with additional fee, COWI will remove and
replace these obstructions to gain access.
A proposal for this service will be prepared
at the time of need.
In order for the snooper to have access
along the handrail, COWI may need to
temporarily remove and replace various
benches along the length of both piers.
COWI has included the costs for this in
our proposal. This requires the unbolting
and reattachment of the bench legs. COWI
will use proper care in handling, but COWI
cannot be responsible for damage due to
existing conditions.
5. The end of the Balboa pier is occupied
by a restaurant building. This end is also
frequented by fishermen. COWI expects to
be in this portion of the pier approximately 1
to 2 days. Any obstacles to the free access
of the handrails and the building envelope
will need to be removed by others prior to
our mobilization to this area. This would
include the tables, seating, and umbrellas.
42
10-74
6. The snooper requires a 15 ft wide x 60 ft
long area of exclusive access against the
handrail to properly operate and protect the
public. COWI will cordon this area off and
provide warning signs. This area is moved
multiple times per day along the length of
one side of the pier and in some case on
the other side as well. COWI will require that
the public vacate the area as COWI moves.
When removed, benches may be stored
on opposite side of pier in a manner to
discourage tampering or theft.
7. The City will provide reserved parking
passes at no charge at the foot of each
pier for 5 vehicles for the duration of the
inspection work. The snooper and dive
trailer will be left on the pier overnight.
