Contractor Bid Package

Presenter Notes Presentation Notes I’m Bryan Hudson, project manager for the Nome Deep Draft Arctic Port project at PND Engineers. Before we get into the overview of the project I’d like to give you a brief overview of the team that will be working together closely at putting this design together over the next year.

The team consists of the City and Port of Nome who have contracted PND for the dock, roadway, bridge and mooring design. NJUS through PON and the City will work with CRW Engineering Group to provide utilities and lighting for the new port expansion.

USACE will perform design of the causeway armor stone and dredging aspects of the project.

Throughout the next year, all of these team members will work closely to integrate each of our scopes for Phase I of the project into one design package that USACE will put out for construction contractor bidding, if all goes as planned, in 2023.

OVERVIEW OF PORT OF NOME MODIFICATION PROJECT

• First Corps’ construction on Harbor began in

1919.

• Port last upgraded in 2006 to -22 ft MLLW.

• Port Modification authorized for construction in

WRDA 2020.

• Provides support to Nome users and regional communities utilizing Section 2006 of WRDA

2007.

• Allows navigation projects in Alaska to be justified based upon:

• Community Viability

• Public Health and Safety

• Access to Subsistence Resources

• Cultural Significance

• Design Agreement executed 16 June 2021. Deep Water Basin

PROJECT PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES

• United States only deep-water port in the Arctic.

• Provides a critical link with 60 communities and the rest of Alaska.

• The existing port facilities in the region are overcrowded and have insufficient draft to accommodate larger and deeper drafting vessel traffic.

• The proposed project objective is to improve support for multiple maritime missions: cargo transportation, search and rescue, emergency and oil spill response, natural resource exploration by:

• Reducing draft limitations to allow use by more efficient vessels.

• Increasing dock space to serve more vessels safely and to avoid delays.

• Increasing navigation area to allow for safe and efficient maneuvering of all vessels.

5PROGRAMMATIC APPROACH

THREE PHASES

PHASE 1 - W. Causeway Extension (Award 2023)

• Stub BW removal

• Causeway extension

• Dock construction

PHASE 2 - Basin Dredging (Award 2025)

• Deep water basin dredging

• Outer basin expansion

PHASE 3 - E. Breakwater Construction (Award 2027)

• East BW demo

• Outer basin expansion

• East causeway construction

CONCEPT OF PORT OF NOME MODIFICATION PROJECT

Extend Causeway and Roadway ~3,500’

(Phase I)

New ~2,030’ OCSP Dock Structure

(Phase I)

Mooring Dolphins (Phase III)

Two New OCSP Docks (Phase III)

New East Causeway Road (Phase III)Dredge to -28 MLLW

(Phase III)

Dredge to -40 MLLW (Phase II)

New Breach Bridge (Phase III)

Major Components of Solicitation:

• Removal of existing stub breakwater

• Extension of the causeway

• New L-shaped dock

• Utility extensions and upgrades

WEST CAUSEWAY (PHASE 1) - 95% DESIGN

Causeway Extension

• 3480-foot L- shaped extension.

• Extension cross section similar to the existing causeway

• 18-ton A1 rock, 3600-pound B1 rock, 180-pound C1 rock, 12.25-ton A2 rock, 2450-pound B2 rock, 130-pound C2 rock and filter material, E and F fills.

New East Causeway Road (Phase III)

Presenter Notes Presentation Notes PND will be providing dock, roadway, bridge and mooring designs.

Phase I of the project will include up to three dock facilities, several new moorage points and an extension of the existing causeway road to access the new facilities.

Phase III will see an additional two dock facilities, located on the new east causeway as well as a new breach bridge and a roadway extending the length of the new causeway for facility access.

• ~2,030’ + of new usable dock moorage area and close to 10 acres of new storage and operations area within the uplands

• The face of the structure will have a steel face beam, pipe bull rail and mooring bollards to provide a straight berthing line along the dock face.
