SUBJECT:  Bell Harbor Marina Pile Wrap and Cathodic Protection (CIP #C800539) 
Pier 66 Break Water Cathodic Protection (CIP #C800517) 
Amount of this request:       $ 815,000 ($395,000 - C800539 / $420,000 - C800517) 
Total estimated project cost:   $ 4,500,000 ($2,750,000 - C800539 / $1,750,000 - C800517)
ACTION REQUESTED 
Request Commission authorization for the Executive Director to authorize $815,000 ($395,000
for C800539 / $420,000 for C800517) to complete design and permitting for the Corrosion
Protection projects at Bell Harbor Marina and Pier 66, including overall cathodic protection
replacement and south apron pile wrap. 
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 
Built in the mid-1990s, Pier 66 and Bell Harbor Marina (BHM) support several functions including
public-use recreational marina and berthing for cruise ships and other vessels. The steel piles
supporting the pier structure at Pier 66 and BHM were coated at the time of installation to
withstand marine water conditions. The recent condition assessment from 2021 monitoring the
condition of the steel piling has revealed that the corrosion protection system has reached the
end of its life. Varying degrees of coating oxidation and anode depletion are evident. This memo
requests Commission approval for $815,000 for design, permitting, and project management for
a new corrosion protection system at Bell Harbor Marina and Pier 66. This system includes pilewrap
for the inter-tidal zone and cathodic protection for the submerged portions of the steel
piling for a target design life of 30-50 years. This project aims to preserve the existing asset and
is reflected in the 2023 Plan of Finance. The total project cost is estimated at $4,500,000
($2,750,000 for C800539 / $1,750,000 for C800517). Following design, staff will return to
Commission to seek authorization for construction. 
JUSTIFICATION 
This project supports the following Century Agenda and Maritime Division priorities: 
(1) Advance this region as a leading tourism destination and business gateway.

Meeting Date: March 28, 2023 
(2) Asset Management – Develop, maintain, and operate Maritime facilities to ensure longterm
viability and efficiency, to meet our customer’s needs. 
Corrosion Protection systems include coating systems, pile wrap, and cathodic protection and 
are a critical element of steel pile maintenance of Port waterfront facilities. Past condition
assessments monitoring the condition of the steel piling have revealed that various elements of
the corrosion protection system at Pier 66 and Bell Harbor Marina have reached the end of their
design life. Varying degrees of coating oxidation and anode depletion are evident. This project
proposes to install pile wrap and replace the existing cathodic protection system on steel piles
supporting Bell Harbor Marina and Pier 66, thereby preventing continued corrosion and
extending the assets’ useful life. 
Diversity in Contracting 
Project design will leverage a Docks and Diving IDIQ Contract (currently in procurement) that
will have an overall women and minority-owned business enterprise (WMBE) goal of 15%.
DETAILS 
Scope of Work 
This project will design and install a new corrosion protection system at Bell Harbor Marina and
Pier 66. At Bell Harbor Marina, a pile-wrap system for the inter-tidal splash zone will be installed
(similar in scope to the WP#104616 and 104663 Pier 66 and Pier 69 Corrosion Control projects in
2013-2014) at (92) 24” steel piling. At both Pier 66 and Bell Harbor Marina, the cathodic
protection system will be replaced to protect the submerged portions of (498) steel piling of
varying sizes (18” to 24” diameter) below the inter-tidal splash zone. At Pier 66, the currently
depleted cathodic protection system will be replaced to protect the submerged portions of steel
piling below the inter-tidal splash zone. 
Schedule 
This project is expected to occur over (2) in-water work windows based on coordination with the
permitted fish window under the Port’s 10-year Pile Programmatic Permit (pending renewal Q2
2023), seasonal Cruise and Rec Boating activity, and simultaneous Port capital projects at BHM 
and Pier 66 (Pier 66 Shore Power, Pier 66 Fender System Rehabilitation). Pile wrap and
replacement anode materials are not anticipated to have long procurement lead times.

ALTERNATIVES AND IMPLICATIONS CONSIDERED 
Alternative 1 – Defer the design and permitting scope of work identified for this project. 
Cost Implications: Reduces needs in the Capital Plan by $815,000. 
Pros: 
(1)   Retains  Port  capital  and  staff  resources  for  other  priority  projects  and  financial
initiatives. 
(2)   Defers temporary construction impacts. 
Cons: 
(1)   Continued corrosion and deterioration of the steel piles supporting Bell Harbor Marina
and Pier 66. 
(2)   Increased  risk  of  failure  and  higher  cost  of  repair/replacement  as  compared  to
preemptive corrosion control. 
This is not the recommended alternative. 
Alternative 2 – Proceed with design and permitting of corrosion control project scope as
proposed. 
Cost Implications: requires allocation of $815,000 in the Capital Plan. 
Pros: 
(1)   Preservation of critical assets to support long-term use and revenue generation at Bell
Harbor Marina and Pier 66. 
(2)   Good durability to initial cost ratio (30-50- year design life). 
(3)   Minimize risk of failure and subsequent operational disruption through preemptive
corrosion control measures. 
Cons: 
(1)   Temporary  coordination  and  impact  to  Bell  Harbor  Marina  and  Pier  66  during
construction. 
This is the recommended alternative.

Effect on business performance     • No incremental operating revenue is associated with
(NOI after depreciation)                 this project. 
• Estimated useful life of infrastructure is between 30-
50 years, resulting in a depreciation expense of
$106k-$177k annually. NOI after depreciation will
reduce by that respective amount.

Meeting Date: March 28, 2023 
Future Revenues and Expenses (Total cost of ownership) 
Annual depreciation expenses will increase after the capital project is completed; however, as a
preemptive corrosion control project, this will mitigate increased risk of failure that would have
a  significant  impact  on  revenue  and  also  decrease  expenses  for  higher  cost  of
repair/replacement. 
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND 
This project allows the Port to continue to provide safe and versatile piers. As such, it is funded
by the general fund (comprised of revenues generated from the marina, cruise passenger feeds,
and dockage fees) allocated for maintaining Port assets, avoiding costly repairs, and safeguarding
the ability to offer uninterrupted premium facilities.
