To: Mayor and City Council
From: City Staff
Subject: Professional Services Agreement for the Municipal Pier Structural
Improvements Project
Introduction
This report recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate
and execute a professional services agreement with Moffatt & Nichol in an amount not to
exceed $400,000 for engineering design services for the City?s Municipal Pier Structural
Improvement Project.
Background
In fiscal year 2004, the City Council authorized a multi year structural upgrade program
of the municipal pier. This work entails pile, stringer and deck replacement; utility
upgrades to meet current codes; traffic loading analysis and recommendations for
strengthening; and development of a comprehensive operations and maintenance plan.
The entire project cost is estimated at over $6 million for design and construction, which
will be refined in the course of the design work.

Discussion
On September 4, 2003 a Request for Proposal was issued to six qualified consulting
firms to provide engineering design services for the Municipal Pier Structural
Improvements Project. On November 17, 2003 four proposals were received. One was
considered non-responsive and the remaining three firms were short-listed. A selection
committee was formed from staff of the Environmental and Public Works Management
and the Resource Management Departments to review the proposals of Moffatt & Nichol,
Concept Marine Associates and Westmar Consulting Engineers. The selection criteria
included the firm?s technical competence; staffing capability to meet project timeliness,
design strength; approach to the work; quality control; cost; and the abilities of the
project manager. Based on all of the relevant rating factors, the committee recommends
Moffatt & Nichol for this project.
Recent similar projects performed by this firm include Stearns Wharf Repair (Fire
Damage) for the City of Santa Barbara, the Seal Beach Pier Repair for the City of Seal
Beach, the Gaviota State Park Pier and the Queensway Bay/Pine Avenue Pier in Long
Beach, California.
Budget/Financial Impact
Funds in the amount of $400,000 are available in account C30064504.589000, ?Pier
Structural Rehab/Repair? for this project.
