The Port Angeles Port of received a $10.76 million Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration under the Port Infrastructure Development Program (CFDA 20.823), awarded on June 24, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2030. The grant funds comprehensive rehabilitation and modernization of a 112-year-old cofferdam dock facility and associated cargo yard infrastructure at the Port Angeles, Washington location. Key deliverables include structural repairs involving fiberglass sheet pile encasement installation, replacement of structural steel beams, retaining wall removal and replacement with geotextile reinforcement, and elevation of the land-water interface by 1.5 feet to mitigate predicted sea level rise. Additionally, the project will regrade and asphalt pave approximately 10 acres of the existing 30-acre cargo yard to increase surface elevation and load capacity for cargo handling and sorting operations.

The grant encompasses three primary components: grant administration and construction management; final design and permitting activities including 90 percent design plans, specifications, and estimates with required environmental and regulatory approvals; and construction of dock facility improvements and Phase 1 site improvements. Performance outcomes will be measured through vessel call metrics, tracking the number and type of vessels utilizing the improved facility to demonstrate enhanced economic competitiveness and operational efficiency at the port.

The project consists of structural repairs and improvements to an existing 112 year old dock and pavement improvements to increase the surface elevation and load capacity for approximately 10 acres of an existing 30 acre cargo yard. Activities to be performed this project will rehabilitate and improve the cofferdam dock and regrade and asphalt pave 10 acres of upland that supports handling and sorting of cargo. This includes the following components component 1 grant administration construction management and contracting grant and project management. Bid document development bid advertising proposal evaluation review contract award issuance of the notice to proceed NTP. Punch list item reconciliation and review. Construction management and cultural resources monitoring. Project close out activities. Component 2 final design and permitting 90 percent final design to include 100 percent plans specifications and estimates PS and e. Permitting for buildings clearing and grading and stormwater. Component 3 construction cofferdam dock facility improvements. Installation of fiberglass sheet pile encasement. Replacement of structural steel beam. Remove and replace existing retaining wall and place fill with geotextile reinforcement. Phase 1 site improvements. The land water interface of the cofferdam will be raised by 1 5 feet which will mitigate for predicted sea level rise of 2 FT to 4 FT beyond 2080. Construct a high load capacity asphalt surface covering approximately 10 acres of the yard phase 1.
