WGI-Main_Street_Fishing_Pier_Replacement_Feasibility_2023-01-20.pdf

This is a feasibility study document prepared for the City of Daytona Beach, Florida, evaluating the replacement of the Main Street Fishing Pier. The study examines the current condition of the existing pier structure and assesses multiple alternatives for replacement or rehabilitation, including engineering, cost, and design considerations. The document serves as a foundational analysis to support the City's Request for Qualifications (RFQ 2702) for a consultant to provide architectural, marine/coastal engineering, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, environmental, and surveying services for the pier replacement project. The feasibility study presents conceptual designs, preliminary cost estimates, and implementation strategies that will inform the consultant selection process and guide the design phase of the project.

The feasibility study identifies key project requirements and constraints, including environmental considerations, coastal hazard mitigation, and integration with surrounding downtown Daytona Beach infrastructure. The analysis provides preliminary cost projections and timeline estimates necessary for grant writing and funding applications. The document establishes the technical foundation for the subsequent consultant engagement, which will advance the design and permitting phases. The City's solicitation seeks qualified professionals capable of managing the full scope from design through construction administration, with emphasis on securing grant funding to support project delivery. The feasibility assessment indicates the City's commitment to modernizing this critical waterfront asset while addressing structural deficiencies and enhancing public recreation opportunities.
