To: Mayor and City Council
From: Rick Valte, Public Works Director, Public Works, Engineering and Street
Services
Subject: Award RFP to Moffatt & Nichol for the Pier Capital Plan, Inspections,
Condition Assessment, and Design Services for the Necessary Repairs
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Adopt a finding of Categorical Exemption pursuant to Sections 15301 and 15302
of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and a finding of
Statutory Exemption pursuant to Section 15252 of CEQA
2. Award RFP #SP2689 to Moffatt & Nichol to provide structural engineering
consulting and design services to develop a capital plan for necessary structural
repairs and maintenance to the Pier and to prepare construction and bidding
documents for projects identified in the plan.
3. Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute an agreement with Moffatt
& Nichol in an amount not to exceed $1,498,819 (including a $120,000
contingency).
Summary
The City of Santa Monica previously completed a Pier Infrastructure Inspection and
Assessment Study in 2018 and subsequent studies are recommended to be conducted
every five to ten years. These studies are used to identify elements of the Santa Monica
Pier (Pier) in need of repair or replacement, and they help staff develop capital projects
and maintenance plans. Staff recommends Moffatt & Nichol to provide structural
engineering consulting and design services to conduct an inspection and assessment of
the Pier, develop a Pier Capital Plan, including the design of up to seven projects for an
amount not to exceed $1,498,819.

Discussion
The Santa Monica Pier attracts an estimated nine million visitors annually and
accommodates pedestrians and vehicles along with a multitude of different businesses.
These diverse and constant uses combined with the harsh marine environment make
the Pier susceptible to wear and tear that is more aggressive compared to other city
infrastructure. The City has proactively managed the condition of the Pier by conducting
studies and assessments that have led to ongoing capital improvement and
maintenance projects.
In both 2008 and 2018, the City completed assessments of the Pier which included
reports that catalogued each structural component of the Pier and assigned them
condition ratings (Attachments A & B). City staff used the reports to prioritize upgrades
and developed several projects including the Santa Monica Municipal Pier Phase 4
Improvements, Pier Railing and Lighting Improvements, Pier Deck Upgrades Areas 2 &
10 (parking lot), and other smaller-scale projects, then hired consultants to design the
projects, and subsequently contracted out the construction. While enabling the City to
maintain the Pier, this multi-step process is lengthy and could be improved to realize
efficiencies in capital improvement budget planning.
The proposed Pier Capital Plan Project would improve the capital budget planning
process. The consultant would perform a complete inspection of the Pier including
underwater structural elements and would prepare a report documenting all findings.
The consultant would then collaborate with City staff to develop final plans,
specifications, and estimates for up to seven future projects. The future projects would
group repairs based on a combination of urgency and location on the Pier. Staff would
seek construction funding in upcoming Capital Improvement Program funding cycles.
The consultant’s scope of work is comprised of four major tasks. The first task includes
conducting above-water and underwater inspections of the Pier’s structural members,
decking, and other components. Divers would be utilized to inspect underwater
elements. Inspectors and engineers would assess above-water features. Results of the
inspections would be documented, logged, and the information would be transcribed

onto a GIS map layer. Upon completion of the field work and GIS map, a condition
assessment report would be prepared.
Under the second task, a capital improvement plan for the Pier would be developed.
This plan would categorize the repairs based on priority ranges, including short term (1-
5 years) for more urgent repairs, long-term (5-10 years) for less severe issues, and
deferred improvements (10-15 years) for non-critical work. The capital plan would serve
as guidance when preparing the design packages of future capital improvement
projects. The capital plan would determine the sequencing, phasing, and funding
required to make the repairs identified in the first task.
The consultant would prepare final plans, specifications, and estimates for up to seven
projects as part of the third task. This includes geotechnical investigations, topographic
surveys, structural capacity modeling and calculations, and support during construction
bidding.
Task four focuses on the preparation of a maintenance plan for the Pier. The
maintenance plan would provide recommendations and instructions regarding
preventive maintenance that can be handled by City staff.

Additional Vendor Outreach & Justification to Award
The proposal was reviewed by a selection panel consisting of staff from the Engineering
& Street Services and Public Landscape Divisions. The proposal evaluation was based
on experience with structural and marine engineering projects, understanding/workplan
and project approach, ability to deliver, quality of product, cost, and compliance with
City requirements. Staff interviewed the only proposer.
In addition, staff conducted outreach to other vendors who downloaded the RFP to
understand why proposals were not submitted. Responses included: 1) the scope is too
specific, and expertise is not available in marine and timber engineering, 2) too busy
and no capacity to perform the work 3) no expertise with inspections of marine
structures and 4) other work in the market was more rewarding. Staff also conducted an
estimate for this work during the CIP process, the staff estimate lines up with the
proposed costs by the vendor.
Based on the evaluation criteria, staff recommends Moffatt & Nichol, as the best and
only qualified firm to provide engineering services for the Project based on their
extensive and prior experience in developing similar projects for other California
agencies, including the cities of Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Oceanside, Seal
Beach, Newport Beach, and the City of Santa Monica.

5 of 6
CEQA Guidelines. Section 15301exempts Class 1 projects consisting of the "operation,
repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public
or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features,
involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead
agency’s determination." This exemption includes “existing highways and streets,
sidewalks, gutters, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and similar facilities." Section 15302
exempts Class 2 projects consisting of the “replacement or reconstruction of existing
structures and facilities.” In addition, none of the exceptions specified in Section
15300.2 of CEQA Guidelines would apply that would preclude the use of this CEQA
exemption: The Pier is not located in a sensitive environment; the award contract would
not have a significant effect on the environment; would not damage scenic resources;
would not be located on a hazardous waste site; and would not cause a change to a
historical resource including the Santa Monica Pier as all materials would be replaced
with the same material type and would look exactly the same. Section 15252 exempts
feasibility or planning studies for possible future actions. The award agreement would
provide a capital improvement plan, geotechnical investigations, and a maintenance
plan for the Pier. Therefore, the award contract is categorically exempt from CEQA
pursuant to Section 15301 and Section 15302 and statutorily exempt pursuant to
Section 15262.
Financial Impacts and Budget Actions
Staff seeks authority to approve available funding from the Pier Fund to award a
contract with Moffatt & Nichol for structural engineering and inspection services of the

Assessment and Methodology
The Santa Monica Pier has been an iconic element of the city since the early 1900’s. It was and
still is today a space where tourists and locals congregate to enjoy sunsets, entertainment, and
activities featured on the pier.
Despite the step grade, narrow sidewalks and high curb, thousands of people visit the Pier, by
either walking, bicycling or driving on the Pier Bridge. They are welcomed by iconic signage that
displays the Santa Monica name and logo and by informational Kiosks explaining elements on
the pier to enjoy; such as the historic carousel, fi shing piers, entertaining performers and Pacifi c
Park.
The idea of the pier and the history that surrounds it sets a whimsical background for those who
visit it. However, over many years of harsh coastal weather, unforeseen vandalism problems, a
mish mash of replacement furniture, and a lost sense of style standards, the elements on the pier
no longer present a cohesive atmosphere that tie all of the pier’s characteristic icons together.
Pier Assessment and Methodology
Development on the Pier has been guided by Santa Monica Pier Design Guidelines, adopted in
1987. These Guidelines address many features found on the Pier, but give only general guidance.
WRT referred to these Guidelines during its assessment of current conditions, and noted where
future recommendations about specifi c features would be warranted. It is WRT’s intent in the
Architectural Conditions Assessment Report to assess the public amenities for their functional-
ity, appearance, durability, comfort, sustainability and maintenance condition. Information and
observations about these amenities will be the basis for more detailed recommendations to be
formulated in coordination with the City and with input from the Santa Monica Pier Restoration
Corporation and the public. The issues raised in this Report and the results of community input,
will be further expanded upon and incorporated into the Sustainability Plan, the Maintenance
Plan, the Lighting Plan and the Urban Design Plan.
This section looks not only at urban furnishings, but opportunities to improve specifi c areas of
the Pier to enhance the public’s enjoyment of this nationally recognized community, environ-
mental and cultural resource.
This assessment report provides the team’s analysis of the various site elements as they ap-
peared during these site visits.
The following elements were addressed:
1. Railings
2. Benches
3. Picnic Tables
4. Trash Receptacles
5. Curbs
6. Decking
7. Lighting Fixtures
8. Special Features

Railings
Rail Type 1: Blue Metal Rail
Location: Primary railing, used on pier perimeter
Sector Graphic: (A, B, D, E, F, G)
Number: Approximately 4,500 Linear Feet
Quality assessment:
Materials: The railing is constructed of 3 (sometimes
4) horizontal 2” diameter steel pipe rails, with 2” diameter steel tube
posts and fi ttings. All metal tubing is painted blue and appears to have
been painted multiple times. Stainless steel cables have been added
in the horizontal direction, centered between metal rails to create the
4” minimum clearance required by code. However, code has been
updated and vertical barriers at minimum 4” O.C. have not been added.
Joints vary in diff erent sections of the railing; some are welded, while
others are assembled with metal tees.
Maintenance: Paint has been chipped and repainted
multiple times. Rust appears where paint is missing, most typically
in areas of concentrated fi shing activity. Metal rails require constant
repainting to prevent rust, as rust can form wherever metal is exposed.*
Functionality/Placement: The railing provides a safety
barrier at the edge of the pier. However, the railing no longer meets
current safety requirements as there are more than 4” square openings
in the rail.
Durability: Painted metal is a durable option for railing if
rust is prevented.
Sustainability: There is no evidence that this railing uses
low VOC paint or a renewable material. Recycled content material
should be considered for this application in the event of replacement.
Comfort: While the rail provides a fairly transparent
barrier to the ocean, the steel rail is not very comfortable to lean
against.

Rail Type 1: Socket
Rail Type: Steel cables
The entire pedestrian area of the Pier is surrounded by a barrier rail
with a minimum height of 42 inches. The predominant railing type is
a painted blue metal post and railing. There is a section of this railing
that is similar but with a wooden top rail. At the west end of the Pier
there is also a painted wood and metal railing that separates the upper
and lower decks and forms the stair railing. These varied railings do not
create a cohesive design for the Pier. The 1987 Pier Design Guidelines
recommends that the railings should be compatible with overall build-
ing design and are corrosion, graffi ti and vandal resistant. No specifi c
type of rail is prescribed.

Packet Pg. 260 Attachment: 2008 Pier Infrastructure Assessment Study (5853 : Award RFP# SP2689 to Moffatt & Nichol for Pier Capital Plan)
Rail Type 2: Blue Metal with Wooden Top Rail
Location: Southeast corner of pier
Sector Graphic: (G)
Number: approximately 1,200 Linear Feet
Quality assessment:
Materials: The railing is similar to Type 1 with the
addition of a 2x8 wooden top rail. The railing is made of 3 (sometimes
4) 2” diameter horizontal metal tubes, with 2” diameter tubular metal
posts. The top rail is a stained and coated wooden 2x8 plank, heavily
worn, and supported by a bracket underneath. All metal tubing
is painted blue and appears to have been painted multiple times.
Stainless steel cables run horizontally only, centered between metal
tubes to reduce the opening size to 4” in one direction. Joints vary
in diff erent sections of railing; some are welded while others are
assembled with tees and sockets.
Maintenance: In general, the paint covers the metal
railing consistently. Paint is worn and chipped in limited areas of
high use especially along ramps, with rust observed where metal has
been exposed. Metal tubing must be painted to prevent rust as wear
requires. Wood is teak and requires pressure washing and re oiling
annually in the spring. *
Functionality/Placement: The railing provides a safety
barrier at the edge of the ramp and at the deck above the volleyball
court. The railing does not meet current safety requirements as there
are more than 4” square openings between members.
Durability: Metal and wood are solid, durable, and
appropriate materials for this railing if the metal remains painted to
prevent rust and the wood is regularly refi nished.
Sustainability: There is no evidence that this railing
uses low VOC paint or a renewable material. Recycled content
material should be considered for this application as well as a recycled
composite in the event of replacement.
Comfort: The rail is more comfortable to lean against
because of the wide, wooden top rail.

Rail Type 3: White Rail with Green Top Rail
Location: West end of pier, on deck and staircases
Sector Graphic: (E)
Number: approximately 400 Linear Feet
Quality assessment:
Materials: This metal rail is quite diff erent than the other
two rails and occurs only in a limited area at the Observation Deck at
the west end of pier. The rail is made of 2” diameter painted steel posts
and bottom rail, with a painted green wooden top rail. Horizontal
stainless steel cables and turnbuckles have been added in the horizon-
tal direction to limit size of openings.
Maintenance: In general, the paint covers the metal rail-
ing consistently. The paint is worn and chipped in limited areas of high
use but rust was not observed. The painted wood top rail is worn and
raw wood is exposed in some areas.
Functionality/Placement: The railing does not meet cur-
rent safety requirements as there are more than 4” openings between
members.
Durability: Metal and wood are solid, durable, and
appropriate materials for this railing if the metal remains painted to
prevent rust and the wood is regularly refi nished.
Sustainability: There is no evidence that this railing uses
low VOC paint or any renewable materials. Recycled composite should
be considered for wood substitute as well as recycled content metal.
Comfort: The rail is more comfortable to lean against because of
the wide, wooden top rail.
Rail Type 3: Green Top Rail
7.
General Observations about Railings: It was observed and confi rmed by
maintenance that these railings are not holding up to the standards of
the pier and require too much maintenance.* There are missing pieces,
rust and failing sections that need constant upkeep and are unappeal-
ing to pier users. A material/railing that does not rust and requires no
painting will be considered and researched further by WRT.

Bench Type 1: Blue Seat with White Logo Base
Location: Along promenade
Sector Graphic: (A, B, D)
Number: 29
Quality assessment:
Materials: This bench is the “standard” Santa Monica
park bench found throughout the City. The base and supports for
this bench are white painted pre-cast concrete with the words “Santa
Monica” stamped into the base. Seat and seatbacks are 2x4 wood slats
which are been painted blue. Benches are approximately 7 feet long
and accommodate 4 people. There appears to be two slightly diff erent
bench types, assumed to be of diff erent eras.
Maintenance: Concrete supports require painting to
maintain a clean fi nish, wood slats require regular painting and sanding
or replacement if damaged.
Functionality/Placement: Benches are located in such a
way that adjacent railings block ocean view when seated. All benches
face the ocean. An option should be considered that allows benches
to be oriented in other directions to take advantage of sun and people
watching. These benches do not have any arm rests which makes them
targets for bench sleepers.
Durability: The base is heavy, not easily moved, and very
durable. The wood components may be easily defaced.
Sustainability: Recycled content material should be con-
sidered in the event of replacement.
Comfort: This bench has a straight, tall back making it
more comfortable for taller users. The seat and seatback surfaces are
made of wood which is more comfortable than the metal benches on
the pier. However, this bench could have been more comfortable if it
had more lumbar support and curve on the seating surface. The wood
surface dries quickly in the marine environment.
Benches
Bench Type 1
Bench Type 2
There are currently three diff erent styles of benches on the Pier.
The blue Seat/white base benches are custom made and most
predominant bench on the Pier. The other benches are prefabricated
and appear to have been added at diff erent dates than the original.
The 1987 Pier Design Guidelines recommends that the benches should
be compatible with overall building design and are corrosion, graffi ti
and vandal resistant. No particular type of bench is prescribed.

Bench Type 2: Blue Metal Hatch
Location: West side of entrance to Pacifi c Park Sector Graphic: (C)
Number: 1
Quality assessment:
Materials: This bench is a modern design and approxi-
mately 6 feet long and seats 3 adults. It is fabricated of blue painted or
powder coated open grid metal, with one piece seat and back. Metal
tubes on sides act as legs and armrests. It is bolted to the deck.14
5.E.a
Packet Pg. 263 Attachment: 2008 Pier Infrastructure Assessment Study (5853 : Award RFP# SP2689 to Moffatt & Nichol for Pier Capital Plan)
Bench Type 2: Blue Metal Hatch Continued.
Maintenance: Routine repainting is required to prevent
rust; removal from site is required if powder coating needs to be reap-
plied, per manufacturer’s directions. The open metal seat prevents
water from ponding on the surface.
Functionality/Placement: This bench is less likely to attract
bench sleepers as it is shorter and has arm rests. This bench was ob-
served to be very well used at all times, with high demand for seating in
this area.
Durability: Rust was observed at base and near welds
where the metal has been exposed.
Sustainability: Consider recycled content and sustainable
materials in the event of replacement.
Comfort: Curved seat and seatback provides lumbar sup-
port, however the grid open metal pattern is uncomfortable to sit on,
especially in shorts. The curved shape of the seat and seatback is not
conducive to sitting at any angle other than straight-ahead.
Bench Type 3: Victorian Bench
Location: West end of pier; Sector Graphic: (E)
Number: 2
Quality assessment:
Materials: Victorian style six foot bench that seats four
adults. Bench is made of 3 ornate cast iron supports/arm rests with a
composite slat board. Bench is bolted to wood deck.
Maintenance: The benches are inside the Observation
Deck and are in excellent shape. Composite boards are easily replaced
if they were to become damaged.
Functionality/Placement: This bench design captures the
“Victorian” character of the carousel, but does not blend well with the
more rustic pier aesthetics at the western end. No other benches or
site furnishings found on the Pier match this style. The bench appears
lighter and less solid than the exterior benches.
Durability: Composite boards may be subject to scratch-
ing and carving. The lightweight construction of this bench appears to
be much less durable than other site furnishings.
Sustainability: Composite slats could have been made of
recycled content but are not identifi ed as such.
Comfort: Shape, materials, and armrests make this the
most comfortable bench on the pier.
Bench Type 3
9 .
General Observations about Benches: It was found that not only was seat-
ing insuffi cient on the pier but those which were provided did not meet
aesthetic, functionality or comfort expectations. Maintenance expressed a
need for at least a dozen more.* In the Urban Design Plan, WRT, in consulta-
tion with the City and SMPRC, will identify additional locations for public
seating and will give guidance about how seating should be arranged.

Tables
Table Type 1: 4-foot Square Orange Powder Coated Table (seats 8)
Location: Entrance to the Pacifi c Park
Sector Graphic: (C)
Number: 10
Note: Privately owned
Quality assessment:
Materials: Prefabricated outdoor picnic table, with top
and seats made of vinyl coated metal mesh. The seats are attached
to table top with painted tubular metal legs. An umbrella opening is
provided, but none of the tables have umbrellas.
Maintenance: The vinyl coating on the tables allows the
table to be easily wiped or hosed off for cleaning. However, it looked as
if daily maintenance had not been performed; many tables were coated
with a layer of dust and/or dirt.
Functionality/Placement: The vinyl coating defl ects
sunlight, keeping this table cooler when placed in the direct sunlight.
All of the outdoor tables are located at the entrance to the amusement
park. Although this arrangement is convenient for patrons who pur-
chase food at adjacent stands, there are no quiet places to sit at a table.
Handicap accessible tables should be made available; tables provided
have permanent benches on all four sides, leaving no roll up access for
persons in wheelchairs. A table with one open side or alternative table
design with easy accessibility is strongly suggested.
Durability: The tables all seemed to be withstanding the
ocean/salty conditions. There was no observed rust and the tables ap-
peared to be fairly new.
Sustainability: There are no apparent sustainable aspects
to these furnishings. In the event of replacement, low VOC paint, recy-
cled content, and local materials should be utilized wherever possible.
Comfort: This is a relatively comfortable outdoor cafete-
ria table. The seats are wide enough to comfortably seat two adults on
each bench. The edges are rounded and have a plastic coating which
provides a level of safety and comfort. They generally experience rapid
customer turnover.
The Pier currently has one main outdoor eating area adjacent to the
main food vendors and Pacifi c Park. There are two styles of tables and
they are intermingled on either side of the amusement park entrance
walkway.

Table Type 2: Round Metal Table
Location: Entrance to Pacifi c Park
Sector Graphic: (C)
Number: 9
Note: Privately owned
Quality assessment:
Materials: Three-Foot diameter metal table with three
attached bench seats. Tables seat six adults very tightly and are more
appropriate for three persons. They are colorful, with bright pink and
yellow seats with white tables. Fabric umbrellas are provided at each
table.
Maintenance: The metal fi nish is chipped and limited rust
was observed.
Functionality/Placement: These tables are heavily utilized
because they serve all the food vendors at the Pacifi c Park entrance.
It would be desirable to have more tables in this area, and designate
another area on the pier where people could eat as well.
Durability: The round metal tables have some rust.
Sustainability: There are no apparent sustainable aspects
to this piece of furniture. In the event of replacement, low VOC paint,
recycled content, and local materials should be used where possible.
Comfort: The seat and table top are made of painted
metal. The leg room under this table is small to accommodate a group
of adult users.
Table Type 2
11 .
General Observations about Tables: The existing tables provide insuf-
fi cient seating and lack basic ADA standards. Table 1 is maintenance
friendly and easy to clean, however table 2 has signifi cant imperfec-
tions mainly rust, due to inappropriate material choices. Any additional
tables to be maintained by Pier Maintenance would have to be easy to
clean, ADA accessible, adaptable for diff erent types of users, and aes-
thetically cohesive throughout the pier. New tables could possibly be
an opportunity to get private owners to update their tables. Setting a
standard for furniture should be enforced.

sealant to increase longevity. The plastic funnel lid (white) shows dirt eas-
ily.
Functionality/Placement: The plastic funnel lid helps to
keep trash in the barrel and hidden from view; however, it is not very aes-
thetically pleasing. Visually, this receptacle does not match any other site
furnishings found on the pier.
Durability: The metal straps around the outside of the bar-
rel have small amounts of rust, and the screws holding these straps are
rusted.
Sustainability: No sustainable elements are obvious in this
furniture. Use of renewable wood could be implemented in the event of
replacement.
Trash Receptacles
Trash Receptacle 1: Barrel
Trash Receptacle 2: Santa Monica logo
Trash receptacles are a necessary and important site furnishing. They should be
viewed as another opportunity to strengthen the design concept and cohesion.
More recycling receptacles should be provided throughout the pier to encour-
age recycling. The 1987 Pier Design Guidelines recommends that the trash re-
ceptacles are compatible with overall building design and are corrosion, graffi ti
and vandal resistant. No particular type of receptacle is prescribed. The Design
Guidelines do require that dumpsters for the various concessions are screened.

Receptacle Type 2: Concrete Cylinder with Santa Monica Logo
Location: Present in all zones on the pier.
Sector Graphic: (A-G)
Number: 45, most predominant trash receptacle on the pier
Quality assessment:
Materials: Custom pre-cast light colored concrete cylinder
with metal collar around center hole, as well as bronze City of Santa Monica
Logo. These pre-cast receptacles are new.
Maintenance: Requires little maintenance, weight makes it
diffi cult to move or take, which is why Maintenance expressed their prefer-
ence for this receptacle.* There is no rust and weathering, but on-going
cleaning is necessary.
Functionality/Placement: The pre-cast concrete is a good
choice for marine environments since they contain no metal and painting is
not necessary.

Receptacle Type 2: Concrete Cylinder with Santa Monica Logo Continued.
Durability: The receptacle appears to be very durable concrete
construction, with few signs of wear or need of for replacement.
Sustainability: No sustainable factors appear to be consid-
ered for development of this product in regard to materials. However, the
long life span of the receptacle reduces need for replacement and thus
reduces waste.
Receptacle Type 3: Blue Metal Trash Receptacle
Location: West end of pier (E), South edge
Sector Graphic: (F, G)
Number: 21, second most predominant trash receptacle on pier.
Quality assessment:
Materials: Fabricated blue powder coated painted metal
with vertical slats and horizontal bands. A metal liner holds the trash.
Maintenance: The receptacle is very rusted, faded and
appears dirty.
Functionality/Placement: This trash receptacle has no
lid, exposing trash to seagulls and wind.
Durability: Rust is forming where the paint has failed.
Metal looks unsubstantial for the use and marine environment.
Sustainability: No sustainable elements are associated
with this product. A recycled metal alternative should be considered in
the event of replacing such furnishings.
Trash Receptacle 3: Blue Metal

Receptacle Type 4: Blue Metal Recycling Receptacle
Location: West end of pier; Sector Graphic: (E),
South edge (G)
Number: 4
Quality assessment:
Materials: Fabricated blue powder coated painted metal
with vertical slats and horizontal bands with a standard tapered formed
lid, similar in style to trash can. A liner holds the recycled material. A
blue and white “recycle” sign designates this bin for recycling.
Maintenance: The container was worn and not clean.
Regular repainting is required.
Functionality/Placement: Site recycle bins do not sepa-
rate any recyclable materials and are not clearly labeled as to which
recyclables they accept. The Pier should include more recycling stations
and they should be placed along side trash receptacles. Containers
that accommodate multiple recyclable materials should also be imple-
mented. Recycled materials include, but are not limited to, newspaper,
plastics, glass, food, compost, etc.
Durability: Rust is forming where the paint has failed, but
with routine repainting this is a durable option.
Sustainability: No sustainable elements are associated
with this product. A recycled metal alternative should be considered in
the event of a replacement.

General Observations of Trash Receptacles: The most functional recep-
tacle was the Santa Monica custom concrete designed bin. The rest are
made of corrosive materials that don’t match, are hard to maintain and
are easily vandalized or stolen. WRT will look into receptacles similar to
the Santa Monica concrete variety and suggest additional opportuni-
ties for placement. Additional recyclable bins are also suggested that
match the current receptacles. Providing adequate and appropriate
receptacles will help to keep the pier clean.
Receptacle Type 5: Recycled Content Receptacle
Location: In enclosed observation deck (E)
Number: 1
Quality assessment:
Materials: Made of 100% recycled content plastic
boards that match the adjacent bench with cast iron details.
Maintenance: The receptacle is inside the enclosed ob-
servation deck and is in excellent shape. Composite boards can easily
be replaced if they were to become damaged.
Functionality/Placement: This receptacle design cap-
tures the “Victorian” character of the carousel, but does not blend well
with the more rustic pier aesthetics at the western end. The receptacle
appears lighter and less solid than the exterior receptacles.
Durability: Composite boards may be subject to
scratching and carving. The lightweight construction of this recep-
tacle appears to be much less durable than other site furnishings
located outside.
Sustainability: Receptacle is made of 100% recycled
content plastic boards.

Curb Type 1: 6x6 Wood Timber Curb – Painted Yellow
Location: Central Walkway; Sector Graphic: (A, B); South Parking
area (G) and used for wheel stops in parking area.
Number: approximate 200 Linear Feet
Quality assessment:
Materials: Painted wood timber.
Maintenance: Repainting required on a regular basis.
Functionality/Placement: This curb defi nes the mainte-
nance/fi re lane. This curb off ers no aesthetic benefi t to the pier experi-
ence and could pose a tripping hazard.
Durability: The timber appears durable enough to satisfy
function though edges of wood are becoming worn and repainting is
necessary to maintain color.
Sustainability: Any wood used should comply with sus-
tainable forestry practices. Alternative renewable materials should be
considered, such as a high recycled content composite.
Curb Type 2: 8x10 Wood Timber Curb – Painted Red
Location: Central Walkway; Sector Graphic: (A, B)
Number: approximate 200 Linear Feet
Quality assessment:
Comfort: N/A
Materials: Painted Wood timber.
Maintenance: Repainting required on a regular basis
Functionality/Placement: Curb required for traffi c manage-
ment and directs vehicular traffi c into parking lot. These curbs off er no
aesthetic interest to pier experience and pose a tripping hazard for pedes-
trians.
Durability: The timber appears durable enough to satisfy
function though edges of wood are becoming worn and repainting is
necessary in places.
Sustainability: Any wood used should comply with sustain-
able forestry practices. Otherwise alternative renewable materials should
be considered, such as a high recycled content composite.
Curbs
The curbs found on The Pier are made of heavy timbers which have
been bolted to the decking. These timbers serve to guide traffi c and
defi ne the fi re lane. Curbs are not defi ned in the 1987 Design Guide-
lines but the Guidelines do require timber wheel stops.
Curb Type 1: Yellow
Curb Type 2: Red
15 .
General Observations about Curbs: It was concluded that the curbs’
biggest weakness was its upkeep of repainting and replacement.* They
function properly, however WRT will look into opportunities to cut
down on maintenance on this element of the pier.**

Decking
The pier’s top decking material is made up primarily of 2x12 pieces of
lumber. In most places the decking runs perpendicular to the edge of
the pier, however, there are areas where the planks are mounted di-
agonally at a 45 degree angle to the sides of the pier. The 1987 Design
Guidelines require exposed wood decking for all pier walkways, access
and service drives and parking areas.
Decking Type 1: Pedestrian Areas
Location: All wood areas for pedestrian use; Sector Graphic: (A-G)
Area: approximately 180,000 Square Feet
Quality assessment:
Materials: Exposed 12” wide pressure-treated wooden
decking planks, unfi nished.
Maintenance: The wood planks were generally in good
condition. There were no signifi cant gaps identifi ed, and it appears
that where gaps had occurred, they had been corrected. Wood decking
requires routine washing, sealing (except for pressure treated wood),
and replacement as necessary due to wear and exposure.
Functionality/Placement: When well cared for wood
decking makes for an enjoyable and marine oriented walking surface.
Durability: The decking shows limited wear in the pe-
destrian areas. Challenges for wood decking include the variability of
wood products, twisting, warping, splitting, etc. Also, wear of deck can
leave hazardous exposed nails. Deck boards should be replaced when
nails are exposed.
Sustainability: Any wood used should comply with sus-
tainable forestry practices. Otherwise alternative renewable materials
should be considered, such as a high recycled content composite.
Comfort: The wood decking is comfortable to walk on
provided it has been adequately maintained.
Decking Type 1: Pedestrian
Decking Type 2: Asphalt 16 .
Decking Type 2: Asphalt covered decking
Location: Central Walkway; Sector Graphic: (B)
Area: approximately 5,400 Square Feet
Quality assessment:
Materials: Asphalt coated wood deck with corrugated
metal panels
Maintenance: Occasional cleaning is required, along with
routine repainting of the stripes.
Functionality/Placement: The metal sheets appear to
cover a mechanical chase. An alternative to this design is desired as
this option is inconsistent with the requirement of the Design Guide-
lines.

Packet Pg. 271 Attachment: 2008 Pier Infrastructure Assessment Study (5853 : Award RFP# SP2689 to Moffatt & Nichol for Pier Capital Plan)
Decking Type 2: Asphalt covered decking continued.
Durability: The asphalt was cracking and showing signs of wear.
Sustainability: Materials more sustainable than asphalt and steel
should be used where available.
Comfort: The asphalt rises above the level of the wooden deck
and creates an uneven surface. The corrugated metal sheets are uncomfortable
to walk on due to their uneven surface. Pedestrians did not appear to prefer to
walk on this surface unless necessary.
Note: Asphalt covered decking and corrugated metal panels are
scheduled to be removed and replaced with wood decking.*
General Observations about Decking: We have identifi ed that there are/were
signifi cant gaps in the decking. Large areas of repair have been corrected by
maintenance by replacing said areas with “patches” of decking. However, over-
all decking was in good shape on the main walk. And it was noted that there
are plans to replace decking with 3” thick boards, instead the 2” boards that are
currently used. ** Therefore, gaps and general repairs will be reduced. Sealing of
decking is not necessary due to the fact that the boards are pressure washed.***
The painted parking lines wear and fl ake and need to be repainted several times
each year. WRT will make recommendations to be included in the Maintenance
Plan about alternative approaches to striping parking lots with more durable
materials

Decking Type 3: Parking lot and vehicular traveled decking
Location: Parking Deck; Sector Graphic: (G)
Area: approximately 83,000 Square Feet
Quality assessment:
Materials: Pressure treated wooden decking planks, 12” wide,
painted with parking lot striping.
Maintenance: These areas appear to have been replaced at diff er-
ent times. Decking should be replaced where cracks and gaps pose a hazard.
Re-striping should also occur on a regular basis to ensure a cohesive fl ow within
the lot.
Functionality/Placement: The parking deck planks appear uneven
and worn when compared to “pedestrian only” areas. The boards are spaced
further apart and in many cases greatly exceed ¼” between fl oor boards.
Durability: The vehicular decking is signifi cantly more worn than
pedestrian decking due to heavy and constant use. Raised knots and nails were
observed. Typical challenges of wood decking include dealing with variability of
wood products, twisting, warping, splitting, etc. .
Sustainability: Any wood used should comply with sustainable
forestry practices. Otherwise alternative renewable materials should be consid-
ered, such as a high recycled content composite.
Comfort: The uneven surface is bumpy while driving in a car.

Lighting
There are fi ve diff erent lighting fi xtures existing on the Pier. They
are of assorted designs and styles and various heights. Lighting is
predominant on the perimeter of the pier, and less prevalent in the
parking lot or central areas. The majority of the lighting fi xtures
appear to be of diff erent vintages and some are in questionable or
non-working condition. (Observed at nighttime, about 20% of the
lights were not lit). The Pier lacks a coherent theme in lighting and a
consistency in fi xtures. The Design Guidelines dictate that there is a
minimum of 4 footcandles and a maximum of 8 footcandles in lighting
levels. Style and fi xture type is not prescribed but recommends
that the fi xtures are compatible with overall building design and are
corrosion, graffi ti and vandal resistant.
Lighting Type 1: Cobra Head Light Fixture
Location: First 100 feet of Central Walkway
Sector Graphic: (A)
Number: 12
Quality assessment:
Materials: Standard cobra head fi xture made of metal
with glass lamp cover on a painted white metal pole, 18 feet high.
Maintenance: Routine replacement is required for ex-
pired bulbs. Painted white metal poles need annual painting and
occasional cleaning, and maintenance has confi rmed that painting the
tall lights is not a problem with the use of a crane.* According to Bill
Bollinger, the Pier Maintenance supervisor, there was a previous desire
to replace the 26” Cobra Head” lights with the other ornamental lights
along the rest of the deck.
Functionality/Placement: Tall overhead lighting serves to
illuminate the main path; however they provide no pedestrian ambi-
ance on the pier at night. Lights of this style are generally associated
with vehicular traffi c and parking. This lighting arrangement is not ap-
pealing for a pedestrian oriented walking space.
Durability: Many of the Cobra head light poles are se-
verely rusted and the bases are weakened by the corrosive environ-
ment.
Sustainability: Fixture should use an effi cient, low watt-
age lamp where possible. Also poles should be made of renewable,
high recycled content materials.

Lighting Type 2: Grey Arched Light Fixture
Location: Succeeds the cobra head fi xture down the second half
of the pier, wraps around the observation deck,
and continues down the east side of the deck. Sector Graphic: (A, B, D, E, F)
Number: 40
Quality assessment:
Materials: Ornate metal light pole, 15 feet, is painted grey
with a tear drop shaped glass lamp cover, in a “historic” style. Hanging
banner or pot hooks are provided, however there were no banners or fl ower
pots observed.
Maintenance: The fi xtures appear relatively new and in good
condition. They require routine replacement for expired bulbs. Grey poles
may need occasional cleaning and repainting.
Functionality/Placement: The poles are spaced at
approximately 40 feet on center. Light levels felt safe and comfortable
for the pedestrian, when operating. The shorter fi xture has a more
human scale and seems to fi t in with the character of the Pier better. This
pole is more ornate than the other fi xtures on the Pier, with curvilinear
appendages and unique globes. The dark color hides dirt and blemishes
better than the white poles.
Durability: These light poles are durable and showed few
signs of rust. Provided adequate attention is given to regular painting
these poles should remain durable.
Sustainability: The fi xture should use an effi cient, low
wattage lamp where possible. Also poles should be made of renewable,
high recycled content materials.
Lighting Type 3: Wooden Light Fixture
Location: Observation/fi shing decks. Located around the
observation deck and the lower fi shing decks; Sector
Graphic: (E)
Number: 7
Quality assessment:
Materials: 8x8 wooden pole, 15 foot tall, with wood cross
arms supporting two metal light fi xtures. Fixtures appear to be sodium
vapor (orange glow) at night.
Maintenance: The wood is weathered and pressure treated.
Maintenance is necessary to prevent the wood from becoming weathered
looking.
Functionality/Placement: The design of this fi xture has
horizontal arms which provide bird roosts. Bird repellent measures
(“bird spikes”) appear to be an after market addition. The fi xture is a box
“spotlight” style that provides little aesthetic character.
Durability: The wooden pole is very weathered looking.
It also has a shorter lifespan than its metal counterparts and more
susceptible to vandalism; concrete or fi berglass may be more desirable for
durability.
Sustainability: The fi xture should use an effi cient, low
wattage lamp wherever possible. Also poles should be made of renewable
and high recycled content materials.

Lighting Type 4: Box Light Fixture
Location: Illuminates the perimeter of the southern parking deck; Sector Graphic: (G)
Number: 7
Quality assessment:
Materials: 8x8 painted wooden pole (teal green), 20-25 feet tall with a dual,
box light fi xtures mounted at top. An additional light fi xture is provided shining onto beach.
Conduit runs outside the pole with exposed junction boxes. Bird spikes are provided to
prevent roosting.
Maintenance: The wooden pole is in need of new paint, as it is noticeably
peeling. Because it is wood, regular maintenance and upkeep will require the light to
function at its best.
Functionality/Placement: The lights illuminate the perimeter of the parking
lot, but there is a lack of lighting in the middle of the deck.
Durability: The wood is worn and requires regular painting to maintain fi nish.
Sustainability: The fi xture should use an effi cient, low wattage lamp where
possible. Also poles should be made of renewable and high recycled content materials.
Lighting Type 5: Bell Shaped Light Fixture
Location: Eastern edge of pier near Carousel; Sector Graphic: (G)
Number: 8
Quality assessment:
Materials: Gray/green painted round metal pole with 2 bell-shaped
fi xtures on arched posts mounted at top of pole. Poles are approximately 15 feet high.
Maintenance: The painted poles are well worn and scratched. The inside
of fi xture is very rusted.
Functionality/Placement: When observed at night, these lights provided
a comfortable level of light for pedestrians. There did not appear to be “hot” bright
areas or deep dark areas in this area by the carousel. The light poles are appropriately
scaled to function in a human scale/promenade experience. However, these lighting
fi xtures are not consistent in style with any other fi xture on Pier. They are located in
only one corner of the deck instead of being integrated into the rest of the design.
Durability: The metal seems to be very durable for this situation if
painted surface is maintained to prevent rust.
Sustainability: The fi xture should use an effi cient, low wattage lamp
where possible. Also poles should be made of renewable and high recycled content
materials.

General Observations of Lighting: Some of the lighting featured on the pier have the festive char-
acter the pier desires, where others are more utilitarian in nature. Because of the many diff erent
lighting styles, no overall lighting feature contributes substantially to the pier’s character. The Type 2
Arched Fixture is the most in keeping with the desired historical compatibility and pier character but
its limited use does not promote a consistent image. Currently the varied fi xtures create a variety of
maintenance concerns, including corrosion in the ocean environment, bird perches, and the need
for repainting. WRT has noted that a comprehensive and cohesive lighting fi xture will substantially
contribute to the urban design character of the pier as well as create uniform maintenance require-
ments and uniform light levels.

While these items were not identifi ed in the scope of the Urban Design assessment and therefore not
investigated to the same level as the previous items, they were observed as critical to the pier’s char-
acter and environment. These items are included here to further address the additional features that
make up the urban context.
Features
Feature Type 1: Telescopes
Location: Along the northern edge of the Central Walkway;
Sector Graphic: (B, D)
Number: 11
Quality assessment:
Materials: Grey painted prefabricated metal pedestals
mounted to pier decking, with a step for child’s use.
Maintenance: Moderate rust was observed. Routine
cleaning and occasional repainting is required for upkeep.
Functionality/Placement: We noticed many of the
telescopes were in use every time we visited the pier. Telescopes look
out towards the beach, water, City of Santa Monica, and Santa Monica
Mountains in the distance.
Durability: The telescopes appear to be high grade and
appropriate for this application.
Sustainability: No particular sustainable elements
apparent in this feature.
Feature Type 2: Designated Smoking Areas
Location: Four locations throughout the pier, two on the
observation deck, one on the western edge and
southern edge of amusement park adjacent to railing.
Sector Graphic: (D, E, F, G)
Number: 8
Quality assessment:
Comfort: The platforms allow for a designated place to
smoke. Smoking is prohibited on other parts of the pier.
Materials: The grey painted plywood sheet with smoking
urn sits directly on pier decking.
Maintenance: The platform requires regular painting and
clean up of garbage around smoking area.
Functionality/Placement: Smoking will be banned from
beach in the future which would eliminate the need for this element.
Durability: Smoking stations appear to address a
designated need but are not integrally designed as part of the pier.
They appear to be a temporary solution.
Sustainability: No sustainable elements in existing
feature.
General Observations of Smoking Areas: Recommendations for more
compatible smoking receptacles and smoking areas will be identifi ed in
the Urban Design Recommendations.

Feature Type 3: Fishing Utilities
Location: Lower level fi shing decks at east end of pier
Sector Graphic: (E, D)
Number: 3 Sinks
Quality assessment:
The Design Guidelines identifi es that cutting boards,
cleaning sinks and railings shall be consistent and compatible with the
rest of the pier. It also suggests that “new construction at fi shing pier
shall also evoke whimsy and fantasy.” There is no whimsy or fantasy in
these utilitarian services.
Materials: Wooden 12x24 fi sh cutting boards are located
at various random intervals along the metal rail. The wood is untreated
and heavily carved. Three free-standing pre-fabricated stainless steel
sinks with fi sh cleaning stations.
Maintenance: The wooden cutting boards are easy to
detach and replace when necessary. The metal sink design is simple
and easily cleaned using a hose.
Functionality/Placement: Sinks and water source are
easily accessible at all lower fi shing decks. Currently sinks are provided
as well as wooden cutting boards attached to existing railings. There
are also movable aluminum garbage bins for use by fi shermen.
Durability: Perhaps more permanent trash receptacles
could be designed for use by fi shermen specifi cally. Stainless steel
sinks seem to be very high quality and used heavily. Amenities need to
be durable due to heavy use of the pier by fi shermen.
Sustainability: No sustainable elements noted in existing
features.
Feature Type 4: Planters (belong to restaurant-private property)
Location: Near entrance to Pacifi c Park (C) and near restaurant at
end of pier (E); Sector Graphic:
Number: 4
Quality assessment:
Design Guidelines: The Design Guidelines include a
statement that landscape features shall be minimized and not compete
with the architecture. Species shall be compatible with the beach
environment.
Materials: One wood and three plastic pots
Maintenance: Maintained adequately by concession.
Functionality/Placement: Planters can be a very pleasing
site amenity; however this has not been executed successfully due to a
lack of coherency.
Durability: Wood or heavy plastic planters are
appropriate and durable materials for this application. Existing planters
were not in need of replacement or refurbishing.
Sustainability: Wood, especially harvested using
responsible forestry techniques, is a preferred alternative over plastic
unless it is a recycled plastic product.

Feature Type 5: Bike Racks
Location: Four locations with three diff erent styles of bike racks:
A row of two standard metal racks on the west side of
Pacifi c Park, one metal “low profi le” rack next to the
restaurant at end of pier, one “wave” rack just east of
the Carousel, and one “wave” rack at beginning of the
pedestrian walk; Sector Graphic: (D, E, F, G)
Number: 5 racks total
Quality assessment:
Materials: Metal, Blue Paint
Maintenance: Some rust on bike racks where not
painted.
Functionality/Placement: The bike rack at the entrance
of the pedestrian walk has room for eight bikes and was full upon one
observation; consideration should be given to adding more parking
spaces at this location. The rack at the west end of the Pier has room
for eight bikes; two bikes were parked at this rack. “Low profi le” racks
are less desirable because they do not support the bike on its frame;
bikes to fall over more easily in this style of rack. There were no bikes
parked at the other three rack sites. Effi cient rack system would help
encourage fi sherman and pier visitors to use bicycle transportation.
Durability: With proper paint, bike racks should be able
to survive the pier climate with little rust damage. Painted bike racks
are easily scraped by bikes and locks. Stainless steel is more durable
and will not rust but is more expensive.
Sustainability: Bike racks encourage non-motorized
transportation. Recycled content metals should be used wherever
possible.
General Observations: Bike valet stations were introduced to the Pier
in 2007 during the Twilight Dance Series and were very popular. The
Urban Design Study will address possible locations for bicycle valet
stations.

Feature Type 6: Security Barriers
Location: The City installed approximately 3’x3’x3.5 boxes around
the Pier.
Quality assessment:
Materials: Wood, and fi lled with sand
Maintenance: Originally, Pier Maintenance planted plants
in the boxes, but the water damaged the deck boards, so the plants were
removed and plywood was placed on the tops.
Functionality/Placement: Sited to create a traffi c barrier.
General Observations: These security barriers are large, and block
pedestrian fl ow. Bollards that require little maintenance could serve the
pier better and are recommended in the pier guidelines. If planters are to
be used, we suggest that they follow the design guidelines.

Feature Type 7: Parking Kiosk and Pedestrian Access
Location: The kiosk to the parking lot is located at the entrance
to the Newcomb Deck. A pedestrian walkway, designated by chain link
and raised curbs, leads pedestrians to and from the Newcomb Deck to
the Municipal Pier.
Quality assessment:
Functionality/Placement: The pedestrian path,
designated by a chain link fence, is not in character with the pier and
appears temporary, but the function is appropriate for protection from
vehicular activity. Options such as bollards and diff erential fl ooring
material can serve the same purpose and create a safe walking space
for pedestrians. The Design Guidelines state that the pier is to develop
a unique, pedestrian oriented environment with ease of access and
user friendliness as a prime design consideration. Improvements to the
pedestrian circulation will create a better pedestrian environment.
General Observations: The pedestrian walkway presents an opportunity
to improve the ambiance of the Pier and create a walkway that
adheres to the goals of the Design Guidelines. These goals encourage
improvements that relate to the Pier and create a safe, functional and
appealing circulation path and entrance to the Pier for both vehicles
and pedestrians.
Feature Type 7: Parking Kiosk
Feature Type 8: Observation Deck
Location: At the west end of the Pier
Number: l
General Observations: The Observation Deck at the west end of
the Pier is a rarely used resource. It is an enclosed area and access is
from a staircase or by an elevator. The Observation Deck is furnished
with benches and a trash can and is painted red and green, which
is complementary to the adjacent Mexican Restaurant, but not to
the public nature of the Pier. The Santa Monica Pier Restoration
Corporation Staff has indicated that they will install historic displays
in this area as part of the Pier’s 100th Anniversary. Selection of paint
colors, repair of windows, replacement of light fi xtures, and installation
of seating and tables would add to the ambiance. Guidance about how
to treat this area will be included in the Urban Design Study.

Feature Type 9: Display Cases
Location: Display cases are located near the Police Sub-station
and the elevators at the west end.
Quality assessment:
Maintenance: Unless display cases are cleaned regularly
and the material updated, they give an appearance of neglect.
Functionality/Placement: Their current location is not
an ideal spot for visitors to congregate and read. The displays are right
outside of the bathrooms, they are up a level of stairs and not easily
accessible to everyone, and they are tucked away out of view.
General Observations: Display cases create an opportunity to share
important information about the Pier, businesses and current activities.
When part of a regular program, they create interest and educate Pier
visitors.
Feature Type 9: Historic Display Cases
Feature Type 10: Pier Skirting
Location: Around the pilings of the pier where pedestrian
accessibility is an issue
Quality assessment:
Materials: wood fencing
General Observations: The skirting was constructed to prevent
unauthorized access under the pier and security, while the existing
Design Guidelines suggest whimsical treatment. Our observation is
that the skirting/fencing should not compete with the festive activity
on the pier and should remain ‘background’.

Feature Type11: Outdoor Dining Barriers
Location: Outside Pacifi c Park dining areas and restaurant
located on the west end of the pier. These structures are privately
maintained.
Quality assessment:
Functionality/Placement: Serve their purpose of
sectioning off and privatizing the eating spaces.
General Observations: Each restaurant on the Pier provides barriers
for its outdoor dining. The Design Guidelines state that development
of exterior dining, lounge and vending areas is strongly encouraged.
However to match the architectural standards of the guidelines they
should still retain the whimsical character that matches the rest of
the architecture, which the current barriers do not. Although these
are privately constructed barriers around the tenants’ leasehold areas,
they are highly visible feature of the Pier. The Urban Design Study will
provide guidance about alternative designs for barriers that enhance
the ambiance of the Pier.
Feature Type 11: Restaurant barrier
Feature Type 12: Gazebos
Location: Newcomb Deck, at the southeast corner of the Pier.
Number: 2
Quality assessment:
Materials: Steel, same as railing system
Maintenance: Same maintenance and material as the
railings. Yearly painting and touch-ups.
Functionality/Placement: Main seating for the volleyball
courts is provided by the bleachers to the south of the parking
lot. While the gazebos fi t in with the character of the pier, they are
architectural “follies”.
General Observations: The Gazebos were intended to be rest areas for
visitors, but lack seating, cover and functionality. In consultation with
the City the Urban Design Study, will make recommendations as to
how these amenities can be enhanced.

Feature Type 13: Signage
Location: Along deck. More concentrated at west end.
Quality assessment:
Functionality/Placement: WRT noticed a lack of signage
for bathroom locations and overall directional signs. Regulation signs
were noticeable and suffi cient. The main Kiosk is large but placed off
the main path. It provides visitors with useful information but seems to
go unnoticed by many visitors.
General Observations: Signs advising the public about acceptable
rules of conduct on the Pier (e.g. no diving, no alcohol, etc.) are placed
throughout the Pier. These signs are of metal, about and were installed
in 2007. Consolidation of information on these signs has reduced
clutter. A diff erent location for the pier’s informations kiosk should
be considered as well as a more inviting display around it to attract
visitors. The Urban Design Study will recommend an expansion of the
signage program and kiosk display.

The Santa Monica Pier has been an iconic element of the
City and region since the early 1900’s. Unique among California
piers, the Santa Monica Pier, its
history and activities, are a clas-
sic yet – whimsical stage welcoming tourists and locals alike. How-
ever, over many years of harsh coastal weather, active urban use
and the addition of an eclectic mix of site furnishings (benches,
lighting, trash receptacles, etc) the Pier no longer presents a cohe-
sive atmosphere worthy of Santa Monica. This set of recommen-
dations, based on an assessment of current conditions, is intended
to guide the choices for the selection of new and replacement
furnishings.
Introduction

Packet Pg. 413 Attachment: 2008 Pier Infrastructure Assessment Study (5853 : Award RFP# SP2689 to Moffatt & Nichol for Pier Capital Plan)

The fi rst step in the process was to
review the Santa Monica Pier Design
Guidelines (Guidelines), adopted
in 1987. The Guidelines provide a
general vision for the character of the
buildings and furnishings and allow
fl exibility in accomplishing its goals.
methodology
WRT then interviewed City staff
from maintenance, public safety and
operations. The Assessment of Ex-
isting Conditions was conducted in
late 2007 and presented to the Santa
Monica Pier Restoration Corpora-
tion (SMPRC) March 5, 2008, and is
included as Attachment No. 1. WRT
was then directed to prepare recom-
mendations for improving the charac-
ter and function of the public spaces
of the Pier.
Design alternatives were presented to
the SMPRC Operations Committee
on May 28, 2008. The alternatives in-
cluded three ‘families’ of site furnish-
ings representing a range from those
of Palisades Park and South Beach to
contemporary styles and materials.
Based on this input, WRT is making
the following recommendations.
5.E.a

The Santa Monica Pier was built for the pleasure of the public in
1909. Ever since, citizens and visitors have enjoyed the amuse-
ments and relaxation of the Pier. The very nature of a pier – apart
from the land, above the sea and into the sky – is a place for en-
joying a remarkable set of experiences. Santa Monica’s traditions
of spinning around the carousel, soaring in the Ferris wheel, gath-
ering for picnics, entertainment, fishing, strolling, and enjoying
the view remain strongly held. The nationally recognized historic
structure of the Hippodrome Building and contributing elements
on the Pier, combined with the purpose – for fun, sets the founda-
tional character and style of the public realm of the Pier deck. This
character has been best described as ‘whimsical.’
Two fundamental opportunities were
identifi ed in the Assessment of Exist-
ing Conditions:
1. Visual clarity, user comfort and
maintenance could be improved with
the selection of a complementary
‘family’ of site furnishings.
2. The placement of site furnishings
could assist in directing circulation
and defi ning spaces for specifi c use,
i.e. performance.
recommendations
The following recommendations are organized to guide the selection of specifi c
items, i.e. benches, lights, etc., – Site Furnishings; and how to arrange them on
the Pier.

The historic Byzantine-Moorish
styled Hippodrome at the base of the
bridge graciously marks the entrance
to the Pier. More recently constructed
buildings line the eastern portion
of Pier and are characterized by
the bold signage for the dining and
amusement attractions within. The
architecture of the distant west end
might be characterized as an eclectic
craftsman style. The site furnishings
are a mix of styles and materials and
the wood decking is compromised by
numerous anomalies of asphalt and
metal plates.
The style and character of the Pier’s
site furnishings need to be simplifi ed
to become an integrated family of
elements that is complementary of
the architecture styles and contributes
to a sophisticated sense of whimsy.
This will reduce the visual clutter
that distracts from the quality of the
Pier experience and reduce efforts in
maintenance and operation.
site furnishings
Each of the items meets basic criteria
for high quality materials that will
reasonably withstand the corrosive
coastal environment and require
minimal maintenance which con-
tribute to a level of ‘sustainability.’
The manufacturers and model infor-
mation illustrate the design intent.
Equivalent elements may be identi-
fi ed through the City’s public bid
process. Quantities are approximate,
provided for planning purposes. Fig-
ure 1 diagrammatically locates each
of the site furnishing elements.

The 6,100 linear feet of rail on the
Pier is constructed of three to four
horizontal two inch steel pipe rails,
with two inch diameter steel tube
posts and fi ttings, fi gure 2. Some
sections have a wood top rail. Stain-
less steel cables have been added in
the horizontal direction, centered
between metal rails to create a four
inch minimum clearance. However,
current code requires vertical barriers
at minimum four inches on center.
In addition, joints vary in different
sections of the railing.
There are various materials that
could replace the railing that would
require less maintenance and present
a different aesthetic image. However,
the cost to replace the railings is
estimated at $2.75 million. A more
economical alternative is to retrofi t
the railing to meet current code for
opening size. To achieve the require-
ment, stainless steel cable at four inch
on-center spacing should be added in
a vertical pattern.
The color of the railing should be
painted Mediterranean Blue, RAL
color system 5002 to match new
benches, tables and lighting.

The Assessment of Existing Condi-
tions concluded that there were not
enough seating and resting opportu-
nities on the Pier. In addition, there
are three types of benches on the Pier,
some of which are more comfortable
than others. The Condition Assess-
ment Report noted that the benches
on the Pier have backs and are in a
fi xed position, most facing the ocean.
These types of benches limit the visi-
tors view. A backless bench provides
more fl exibility for the visitor.
WRT recommends a new bench
standard to replace variety of existing
benches. The new benches should be
of a style that provides options for
backless benches and benches with
backs, inviting the visitor to look out
to the ocean or onto the spectacle of
performances and people on the Pier.
This report recommends the removal
of all thirty two existing benches and
the addition of forty one new backed
benches and twenty seven backless.
They should be surface mounted to
the deck and carefully located in the
locations shown in fi gure 1 to provide
a range of seating opportunities.
The recommended style of bench,
fi gure 3, is 48” Scarborough – hori-
zontal metal strap as manufactured
by Landscapeforms, fi gure 3. These
benches should all be powdercoated
by the manufacturer in ‘Ocean Blue’
to match the railing, tables and lights.
The estimated cost for each bench
is $990 for backless and $1,080 for
backed.
benches
The bench is also an opportunity to
engage public art on the Pier. Intro-
ducing public art into the seating is
encouraged to build on the legacy of
‘whimsy’ of the Pier. Santa Monica,
renowned for its programs for public
art, may consider numerous options,
such as:
a. replace all existing benches
with a ‘off-the-shelf’ benches
and add a few artist-designed/
custom made benches each year,
fi gure 4;
b. locate artist-designed/custom
made benches in specifi c locations,
such as on the deck east of the
Hippodrome; or
c. engage an artist to enhance a
new set of ‘off-the-shelf’ benches.
WRT recommends establishing a
public art program to invite qualifi ed
artists to create one-of-a-kind seating
for specifi c sites along the pier.
Figure 1 illustrates the eight locations
where the off-the-shelf bench might
be replaced, over time, with an art-
ist bench. The estimated budget for
the artist benches is $12,000 each,
including artist fee, materials and
fabrication, installation, one year’s
maintenance.

The Assessment of Existing Condi-
tions found that all the nineteen
tables are owned and maintained by
merchants and shop owners. Their
locations serve the tenant’s use. How-
ever, there is a need for public picnic
tables.
Ten of the nineteen existing tables
are the square, as shown in fi gure 5,
with red seating and table surface.
The other ten are small round tables.
The style and character of the square
metal tables, now used by tenants,
with attached bench seating is recom-
mended above other options consid-
ered, fi gure 5.
The existing nineteen should be
replaced by merchants to match the
recommended blue color and nine-
teen new tables should be added (to
be owned and maintained by the
City) in the locations, fi gure 1.

Six to ten of the new tables should
have two or three benches to invite
wheel chair users to the table.

Five types of trash receptacles were
identifi ed by the Assessment of Exist-
ing Conditions. Of the seventy four
existing receptacles forty fi ve are the
recommended concrete unit, fi gure 6.
They were found to require minimal
maintenance and most durable of
the options available. Approximately
thirty new trash receptacles and
twenty new receptacles for recycled
materials should be placed as shown,
fi gure 1, for ease of use and collec-
tion. The trash receptacle model
QR-CAL2832W, anodized aluminum
lid A-24 as manufactured by Quick-
crete or approved equal, with the city
name embossed and bronze logo inset
to match the existing units. Mate-
rial to be Ecocast, made from 70%
post consumer and industrial waste,
color – Erosion. The top eight inches,
including the rim, should be sealed to
minimize staining.
Receptacles for recyclable materials
need to be added to the Pier (twenty
total). They should be set next to the
trash receptacles. It is recommended
that the twenty new receptacles for
recyclable materials match the trash
receptacles with the addition of sig-
nage. Signage or other designations
on the trash receptacle, is recom-
mended to designate the specifi c use
of the receptacle and educate the
public on the importance of recy-
cling. The signage program is to be
coordinated with other City agencies.

decking
The tradition of the wood deck is
important to the distinct character of
the Pier. The top decking is primar-
ily two inch by twelve inch by twenty
foot long lumber. Portions of the pier
are covered with asphalt and metal
plates. The Design Guidelines require
wood decking for the whole pier. The
ongoing program for repairing the
wood deck is encouraged to con-
tinue so that all the metal plates and
asphalted areas will be removed and
replaced with wood decking.

Seat walls should be introduced along
the curb line, at the change in surface
elevation between the two decks. The
seat wall should be sixteen inches
tall by sixteen inches wide in various
lengths with two foot wide gaps at
approximately twenty foot intervals
to allow pedestrians to walk between,
see fi gure 1. The curb seating should
be constructed in recycled plastic
lumber/wood composite, in a me-
dium dark brown color, fi gure 8.
curbs
The Assessment of Existing Condi-
tions noted the use of heavy timbers
bolted to the pier deck to guide traf-
fi c, defi ne the fi re lane and cover the
transition between the different eleva-
tions between the Municipal Pier
from the pedestrian walkway. While
the curbs could be a tripping hazard
for pedestrians and visually unappeal-
ing they also are used for seating. The
fi re lane and pedestrian areas should
be defi ned by other means, i.e. bol-
lards – see section B. Spatial Com-
position and Circulation. A wooden
ramp should replace the asphalt infi ll
along the seam between the two piers
at the amusement facility entrances.

The Assessment of Existing Condi-
tions revealed that there were six
styles of lights on Santa Monica Pier.
The existing decorative arched poles
with the acorn light fi xtures are not
identifi ed as historic elements, but
contribute to the classic character of
the Pier. To create a cohesive im-
age, remove clutter and improve
this important visual element of the
Pier, three types of lights are recom-
mended. All lights must provide the
Pier staff the ability to control each
independently.
a. Decorative arched poles
with an acorn light fi xture, fi gure
9, are the primary character defi n-
ing light element of the Pier. Figure
1 illustrates the locations for ninety
seven new lights on the twelve foot
tall poles at thirty eight foot spacing
around the entire pier perimeter.
This light serves pedestrians and the
light fi xtures, see the Infrastructure
Upgrades volume of the Santa Monica
Pier Assessment. The original manu-
facturer of the existing lights has not
been determined. Replacement of a
matching pole and fi xture is feasible
and should be conducted carefully to
achieve the desired character. The rec-
ommended manufacturer is Sitelink
by Holophane.
b. Task lights, fi gure 10, should
be placed on the decorative arched
poles with three to fi ve spot lights
adjustable to illuminate specifi c fea-
tures, i.e. fi shing areas, boat launch,
performance areas, etc. Figure 1
recommends twenty nine locations.
c. Parking lot lights should be
replaced on the Newcomb Pier. The
lighting study of the Infrastructure
Upgrades recommends a twenty fi ve
foot tall pole, spaced eighty feet
on center along the pier perimeter
to provide maximum fl exibility to
program events on the Newcomb
deck. It is estimated that fi fteen poles
, located on fi gure 1, will provide suf-
fi cient illumination.
d. Necklace Lights currently
trim the edge of the pier. It was
recommended that the existing lights
be replaced with 750 energy effi cient
LED fi xtures, at fi ve feet on center,
vandal resistant marine grade with
cast housing, high impact lens and
gasketed cast lens guard as manufac-
tured by Cole Lighting. The esti-
mated cost exceeded the budget. See
the “Lighting Study” for alternatives
considered.

a. Bicycle racks are currently on
the Pier, but underutilized because of
their inconvenient locations. While
bicycle riding is not encouraged on
the Pier due to potential confl icts
with pedestrians, bikes are recognized
as a popular and sustainable mode of
transportation for locals. To encour-
age bicycle access to the Pier new
racks are recommended to replace the
existing fi ve with additional locations
for new bike racks are illustrated on
fi gure 1. The galvanized steel ‘Wave’
rack is recommended, fi gure 11, each
securing up to eight bikes, as manu-
factured by Bike Security Racks Co.
b. Security barriers, currently
sited, are large three foot by thee foot
wooden boxes now serve as bollards
to designate pedestrian areas and
vehicle areas. It is recommended
that the wooden boxes be removed
and replaced with 127 fi xed and 14
removable bollards. Model “San Fran-
cisco”, as manufactured by Urban
Accessories, fi gure 12, spaced eight
feet on-center and located as shown

c. Gazebos have been part of
the Pier for over 15 years. The two
decorative gazebos are located on the
south rail of the Pier. They were de-
signed as performance areas, but are
currently underutilized. To encour-
age use, it is recommended a picnic
table is installed in each with a trash
receptacle nearby, and a system of
colorful fabric to animate the space
and discourage bird resting/dropping.
d. Smoking areas are currently
designated and maintained on the
Pier, fi gure 1.
The existing eight ash urns should be
replaced with eight surface mounted,
powdercoated (RAL color system
5002) aluminum ash urns, model
Grenadier as manufactured by Land-
scapeforms, fi gure 13.
The deck of the smoking areas should
be a solid surface to keep burning
items away from the wood Pier. In-
stead of the existing painted plywood,
it is recommended that a four foot by
eight foot deck of tightly set recycled
plastic lumber, one inch thick (or
less) by six inches wide, tongue and
groove, a medium dark brown color,
is installed directly on the wood Pier.
It is recommended that the envi-
ronmental graphics program direct
smokers to the designated areas.

e. Signage is an important
interface between the public and the
facilities of the Pier, as well as key to
the identity of the public places, the
merchants and shop owners. Signage
for individual tenants and merchants
are required to follow the Archi-
tectural Design Guidelines. These
recommendations are for the public
signs.
The Assessment of Existing Condi-
tions found recently installed signs
that provide consolidated informa-
tion about rules and regulations that
apply to the Pier. However other
signage on the Pier is inconsistent
in its character, quality, message and
placement.
A comprehensive environmental
graphics program should be devel-
oped to direct the replacement and
addition of signage on the Santa
Monica Pier. The graphics program
should be based on what and how
information is delivered. It should
include an interpretive program ad-
dressing cultural resources, natural
history, and functions of the pier. The
graphics program should coordinate
the character of interpretive signage
with that needed for directional and
regulatory information. The solution
should serve the Pier for fi fteen to
twenty years allowing an amount of
fl exibility with high quality materials
located to minimize clutter and focus
the message to the public.

The historic information displayed
near the police sub-station at the
west end of the Pier may be more
effectively displayed in a series of
panels along the railing, see fi gure 14.
Porcelain enamel is recommended for
interpretive signs. This technique and
use of materials is proven to hold up
well in the ocean climate and deliver
hi-quality graphic detail. The size
could vary within the system. Figure
1 identifi es up to eight potential loca-
tions for interpretive information.
Regulatory and directional compo-
nents may be aluminum to fi t within
the city’s signage program.
The existing information kiosk is a
helpful and attractive element, fi gure
15. Two additional kiosks are recom-
mended as located on fi gure 1.
Figure 15, Kiosk
Centennial anniversary signage
should be considered temporary, un-
less it can be included in the com-
prehensive environmental graphics
program. To assist in the effi cient and
effectiveness of a temporary program
the PRC should consider:
• Defi ning the identity of the
year long event;
• Building on the City’s envi-
ronmental signage program and
production capabilities;
• Utilizing materials that can be
recycled appropriately; and
• Engaging local sponsors.

The Santa Monica Looff Hippodrome building is listed National Historic Landmark, National
Register Number: 87000766.
Statement of Signifi cance (as of designation - February 27, 1987):
The principal historic element of the formerly extensive collection of amusement facilities at the
Santa Monica (Looff) Amusement Pier, this is a rare, intact example of an early shelter structure
built (1916) to house a carousel in an amusement park and the better preserved of the two such
structures that remain on the West Coast.

Historic photos of the Santa Monica
Looff Hippodrome (Carousel Build-
ing) show the elegant curved funnel
shaped roof rising to the central ‘onion
dome’ on a cupola. The perimeter
of the building has octagonal shaped
turrets at the corners of the building.
The northeast corner is wider and
taller than the other three. Each of the
turrets may have had a viewing deck
on the fl at roofs with a railing. Three
dome shaped features were equally
spaced along the roofl ine of each
façade.

the existing fl at roof portion to the
underlying curved sheathing. They do
not address the dome shaped features
around the building perimeter.
The City of Santa Monica’s Land-
marks Commission adheres to the
National Park Service—Secretary of
the Interior’s Standards for the Treat-
ment of Historic Properties. Decisions
and agreement concerning the Carou-
sel Building roof should be confi rmed
prior to further action.
Recommendations:
1. Confi rm specifi c elements to
be reconstructed to meet the Santa
Monica Landmark Commission’s
requirements and agreements to
maintain the National Historic
Landmark status of the building.
2. Update the Roofi ng and
Cupola Replacement Plans to
meet current building and safety
codes and the Secretary of the
Interior’s Standards (including, but
not limited to, the restoration of
the turrets, addition of perimeter
dome shaped features if necessary).

INFRASTRUCTURE INSPECTION & ASSESSMENT
STUDY (2018 UPDATE)
Field investigations for the Santa Monica Pier inspection and condition assessment were led by Jeremiah
Holcomb, PE, between July 24th and September 7th, 2018 to assess the condition of the existing pier structural
components. The inspection was conducted in accordance with the American Society of Civil Engineers-
Manual 130 “Waterfront Facilities Inspection and Assessment” (ASCE Manual 130) standard practices. Repair
and upgrade recommendations are intended for planning purposes only, and do not constitute engineering
designs necessary to construct these necessary improvements.

Executive Summary
Moffatt & Nichol (M&N) was retained by the City of Santa Monica (City) to perform inspection,
assessment, and rehabilitation engineering services for the Santa Monica Municipal Pier (Pier) facilities,
in the City of Santa Monica, California. This waterfront inspection report is part of a design repair project
that will identify potential Pier defects and associated rehabilitation options.
This report is intended to provide updates to the previous Santa Monica Pier Infrastructure Assessment
Study performed in 2008 (PIAS-2008), by M&N and associate subconsultants. Efforts for this updated 2018
Pier Infrastructure Assessment Study (PIAS-2018) are focused on providing condition assessment and
rehabilitation concepts for the Pier to correct defects identified in existing structural elements. This scope
of work included: existing Pier piles, pile caps, stringers, lateral and transverse bracing, and deck elements.
In addition, studies were performed to evaluate the need for future recommended upgrades for a variety
of reasons including: providing an allowable load rating for emergency vehicles, minimizing on-going
maintenance within the offshore splash zone, and to maintain existing operations.
The scope of services for this PIAS-2018 excluded some items previously considered as part of the PIAS-
2008 and/or are not included in the scope of work at the request of the City. Excluded items include
existing electrical and wet utilities not limited to: Pier lighting, shore power, tie-ins to existing buildings,
potable water, sewage, fire water, storm drains, and other existing landside utilities. The scope of work
also excluded landside and above-deck Pier facilities (Topside Buildings and Amusement Structures,
Topside Architectural Furnishings (benches, light poles, etc.), Landside Concrete Abutments and/or
Bulkhead Walls, and Waterside Shore Protection & Rock Revetments.
This report consists of two study phases. Phase 1 provides observations and assesses the existing
condition of the various structural infrastructure systems of the Pier. Rehabilitation studies are then
provided for the various deficiencies noted and construction cost estimates developed for those proposed
repairs. Phase 2 presents potential upgrades and maintenance programs to be implemented into the
future 10-year improvement plan. Evaluations are given on the existing load rating of the Pier, and cost
estimates developed to outline construction costs for the proposed upgrades.
Phase 1 – Observations Summary and Repair Cost Estimate
The inspection and assessment were performed to support the development of repair recommendations
for the Pier. The repair recommendations are presented below in a prioritized manner considering
severity of damage, location, and impact of damage to the overall Pier structural integrity, and operational
use of the facilities. An attempt has also been made to categorize the deficiencies that will allow the City
to choose a maintenance or replacement program that best suits their needs and budget.
The inspection report focuses on identification of deficiencies as part of a future design repair project.
Providing engineering bid documents (repair plans, details, and specifications) for the recommended
repairs are outside the scope of this inspection report. Due to the nature and configuration of repairs
necessary, required repairs will likely entail water-based construction operations. Various techniques may
be employed to conduct these repairs; however, it is recommended construction plans and details be
developed prior to construction.

GIS Database
A GIS database was created for structural components of the pier that were inspected. Figure E-1 shows
a map of inspection ‘ZONES’ used to define the assessment. The inspection observations have been
uploaded to the City’s GIS database system, and additional information can also be found in Appendix B.
Figure E-1: Pier Identification System / GIS Database
Pier Identification System
To facilitate the inspection effort and to have a common location reference, a pile numbering system was
established, and reference numbers painted on piles as part of the 2008 study. To eliminate confusion
with prior numbering schemes, old markings on the piles were painted out using black paint. The new
numbers were painted in white. In this numbering system the pile bents are numbered consecutively
starting at "1" for the first pile bent at the east or onshore end of the Pier and ending in “103” at the west
or offshore end of the Pier. The piles in each bent are assigned a letter designation, starting with “a” for
the first pile bent at the north end of the Pier, then continuing on to “z” and ending in “AB” at the south
end of the Pier. See Figure E-1 for the numbering system.
Condition Assessment Summary
The following is a summary of structural defects/damages identified during the inspections, with repair
directives as follows:
x Priority – for “Severe” damages – Repair as soon as feasible
x Short-Term – for “Major” damages – Repair within 1-5 years
x Long-Term – for “Moderate” damages – Repair within 5-10 years
Based upon the structural element deficiencies identified in the observation portion of this report, it is
our recommendation that reparative or further extensive replacement options are necessary to prevent
future potential worsening of present Pier defects. Refer to Appendix E for a full itemized list of
deficiencies and damage ratings.

Repair Cost Estimate Summary
Estimates of probable construction costs have been produced for the three repair conditions “priority,”
“short-term,” and “long-term.” Cost estimates assume each of these repair phases will be done under a
separate contractor mobilization effort. There may be an opportunity to save costs by conducting all
repairs under a single contract, by having an on-call agreement with a local marine construction
contractor, or by having the City maintenance staff conduct the repairs. Refer to Table E-4, Table E-5, and
Table E-6 below, also refer to Appendix C for a full itemized cost estimate for recommended repairs.

Table E-6: Long-term Repair Cost Estimate
On-Going Life Cycle Maintenance Repairs Summary (As-Needed)
At the request of the City, estimates of probable construction costs have also been provided for future
life cycle replacement costs for deck members, based on various loading scenarios. This estimate is meant
to provide the City with an estimate for future planning of deck replacement cycles based on a square-
foot basis and includes only deck boards (excluding stringers and pile caps). It is assumed deck board
members will be replaced with 3-inch x 12-inch nominal size timber members at regular intervals once
they deteriorate beyond their useful life. The estimates do not consider necessary future maintenance or
upgrades to meet load requirements. Cost estimates assume each of these upgrade phases will be done
under a separate contractor mobilization effort. The expected useful life of deck boards under pedestrian
foot traffic is 10-15 years and under vehicle traffic is 5-10 years. The opinion of probable construction cost
is shown in Table E-7 below.

Phase 2 – Pier Upgrades Summary and Cost Estimate
Pier Load Rating Summary
The results of the Pier load assessment are broken into localized ‘Areas’ corresponding to the type of
construction, anticipated loading, and age of construction. Recommendations from the previous PIAS-
2008 study have been incorporated into this PIAS-2018, and recommended upgrades updated to reflect
actual Pier conditions at the time of inspections. Consideration was also given to upgrades that have been
completed to the Pier since the last inspection in 2008. Figure E-2 below depicts the different pier areas,
and a complete map of the pier load rating can be found in Appendix D.
Figure E-2: Site Plan – Pier Load Assessment
Pier Upgrades Summary
This assessment focuses on identification of upgrades necessary to achieve load requirements or future
maintenance goals as part of the overall Pier capital improvements program. In particular, the City desires
to provide upgrades to the Pier to allow occasional H-20 vehicle access for emergency response and
regular H-15 access for delivery truck vehicles. Providing engineering bid documents (upgrade plans,
details, and specifications) for the recommended upgrades are outside the scope of this report. Due to
the nature and configuration of necessary upgrades, they will likely require water-based construction
operations. Various techniques may be employed to conduct these upgrades; it is recommended
construction plans and details be developed prior to construction.

1. Introduction
Moffatt & Nichol (M&N) was retained by the City of Santa Monica (City) to perform inspection,
assessment, and rehabilitation engineering services for the Santa Monica Municipal Pier (Pier) facilities,
located at the foot of Colorado Avenue in Santa Monica, California. This waterfront inspection report is
part of an assessment project that will identify potential Pier defects and associated rehabilitation options.
Additional services required to produce engineering bid documents for the recommended repairs
mentioned in this report for award to a marine contractor to construct are assumed to be outside the
scope of this assessment but can be provided under a separate future task order.
The inspections were conducted between July 24 and September 7, 2018. The effort included inspection
of above water and submerged (underwater) structural components. The field investigations were
performed under the staff supervision of Jerry Holcomb, PE (Above Water Team Leader) and Mike
Breitenstein, PE (Underwater Team Leader).
Inspection Scope of Work
The Scope of Work for this effort included above water and underwater inspection of the timber,
concrete, and steel structural portions of the Santa Monica Municipal Pier. The Pier extends from the
concrete approach bridge to and including the end platform for an overall length of approximately 1,600
feet. This Pier forms the main thoroughfare for pedestrian and vehicular access to the commercial and
recreational areas of the Pier. Most of the Pier is comprised of timber, except the furthermost westerly
600 feet, including the end platform, which is concrete with timber decking. In general, the field
investigations consisted of:
¾Above Water Inspection.
o Visually inspect decking, stringers, blocking, pile caps, piles, cross bracing, and structural
connections between these members utilizing M&N crew directly on the beach and with
small work boat for use during under-deck site investigations.
¾Underwater Inspection was performed by a 4-man surface supplied air (SSA) crew consisting of
commercially trained M&N Engineer-Divers. Inspection efforts were in accordance with the
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Manual No. 130, “Waterfront Facilities Inspection and
Assessment” standard practices, as follows:
o Level I inspectioneffort of 100% of timber and concrete piles. This effort consists of a close
visual examination of the entire submerged structure to detect obvious damage or
deterioration. This effort will assess the integrity of the structural members as well as the
detection of undermining or exposure of normally buried elements.
o Level II inspection effort of 10% of timber and concrete piles chosen at random. This effort
includes removal of marine growth in three 12-inch bands (splash zone, mudline, and mid-
depth), and close examination of the underlying material.
o Level III inspection effort is not included in the scope of this inspection. (This more detailed
level of effort to assess health of piles could include dissolved oxygen laboratory testing,
timber and concrete coring, or other means to detect deterioration. The determination of
the need for this effort was to be made after the initial condition had been assessed.)

2. Background and Description of Facilities
Existing Facilities Description
The scope of this inspection and assessment focuses on the Pier, located within the Santa Monica Bay in
Southern California. The Pier is located within the City limits of Santa Monica on the coast of the Pacific
Ocean south of Malibu and north of Venice Beach, in Los Angeles County, 15 miles west of downtown Los
Angeles (see Figure 2-1).
Figure 2-1: Project Location
The Santa Monica Bay is a naturally occurring littoral inlet cell that spans from Point Mugu to the Palos
Verdes Peninsula. The Pier in its current configuration completed construction in 1996, with the official
opening of the Pacific Park amusement park. The Pier is approximately 350,000 square feet in area and
located at the approximate address of 200 Santa Monica Pier St., south of Colorado Ave. (see Figure 2-1).
The Pier extends from the concrete approach bridge to, and including, the end platform for an overall
length of approximately 1,600 feet. The width of the Pier varies from approximately 300 feet at its widest
to approximately 35 feet at its narrowest, towards the west end platform approach. Mudline elevations
near the Pier at the western waterside portion vary from roughly 0-feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW)
depth to -20-feet MLLW (see Figure 2-2). Beach elevations near the Pier at the eastern landside portion
vary from roughly 0-feet MLLW to +10-feet MLLW.

Figure 2-2: Aerial View of Project Site
The Santa Monica coastline has historically seen several different pier configurations since the early
1900s. The original pier configuration was constructed in 1909 to support, and house, an ocean outfall
pipeline that carried treated sewage into the ocean. This original pier was one of the first of its kind to be
constructed completely from concrete; however, due to harsh ocean conditions that caused rapid
deterioration, this pier was demolished, and a new pier was erected in 1916 utilizing creosote treated
timber piles. With the construction of the new pier, local entrepreneurs and City Council members saw
the opportunity to reimagine the facilities as a pleasure pier and recreational fishing hub. Of the notable
attractions on the new pier, The Hippodrome was a large building constructed to house a Pier Carousel
that later became Santa Monica’s first national Historic landmark. Later in 1933, it was envisioned that a
Santa Monica Yacht Harbor would be an attraction to offer a safe destination for vessel landings, and thus
an offshore rubble-mound breakwater was constructed. The pier continued to undergo several
fragmented repairs over the years until 1983, when the pier and breakwater were damaged by severe
storms and condemned for safety reasons. By 1990 most of the pier had been rebuilt, and in 1996 the
official opening of Pacific Park amusement park completed the pier we know today. This pier incorporated
the portion of the original timber “Newcomb Pier” that survived the 1983 storms.
Pier ZONE Identification
A naming convention for the pier was adopted for ease in identifying the variety of structural elements
that were inspected. The overall pier was broken into four (4) different ZONES that correspond to the
vintage of pier construction, materials of construction, and location within the existing pier footprint. A
layout of the overall pier describing the designated areas is shown in Figure 2-3. In addition, a description
of each area has been provided later in this section for help in understanding the structure configuration.

ZONE 1 - Timber East-End Pier (Bent 0 – Bent 53)
Pier ZONE 1 facilities are comprised entirely of a fixed timber pier substructure with additional
appurtenances that facilitate public use for its customers. ZONE 1 has open access to the public year-
round and is mostly utilized by pedestrians, tourists, and those accessing the pier-side parking lots.
The pier substructure is comprised of timber piles, pile caps, stringers, lateral and transverse cross bracing,
and deck planks. Loading on the top-deck of the pier is transferred through the deck boards to deck
support stringer elements beneath. These elements rest on top of a pile cap member that then transfer
loads to the timber piles, which are embedded deep into the ground to transfer load to surrounding soils.
The piles are also supported laterally with lateral bracing to adjacent piles in both the longitudinal and
transverse axis of the pier. Located along the length of the pier are single-story commercial concession
buildings and restaurants that are fully enclosed and various open-air patio areas for customers with a
walkway on the northern and southern edges of the Pier. A partial cross section showing the typical Pier
support substructure is provided in Figure 2-4.

3. Repair Recommendation Criteria
Element Damage and Overall System Condition Assessment Ratings
The ASCE Manual No. 130, “Waterfront Facilities Inspection and Assessment” includes standardized
element-level damage ratings for structural elements of the various materials found in waterfront
structures’ components and systems. The basic terms used to rate the damage of each element are listed
below and will be used in this report to describe the severity of defects observed on structural elements.
¾NI – Not Inspected
¾ND – No Defects
¾MN – Minor Damage
¾MD – Moderate Damage
¾MJ – Major Damage
¾SV – Severe Damage
Individual element ratings details vary by an element’s material. Pertinent materials’ element ratings
details and additional definitions and descriptions for overall system ratings can be found in Appendix A.
General Phasing of Repair Recommendations
Reference is made to the observations of defects and damages detailed in Section 4 of this report, and
associated photos, which provide general descriptions for the findings of this inspection.
Repair recommendations are divided into four (4) repair priority categories:
¾Priority Repairs – Components assigned a rating of “Severe” should be repaired or replaced
immediately.
¾Short-term Repairs – Complete repairs within 1-5 years. Those defect items that have been
identified as having “Major Damage” should be monitored closely until repair has been
completed.
¾Long-term Repairs – A lower-priority repair is recommended for items identified as having
“Moderate Damage.” It is anticipated components will require repairs or replacement within the
next 5-10 years or following a significant storm wave or other significant event.
¾Deferred Maintenance Recommendations – The lowest priority is given for ongoing maintenance
items for “Minor Damage.” Components should continue to be monitored with follow-on
inspections every five (5) to ten (10) years or following a significant storm wave or other significant
event. Due to their low-priority, these Minor deficiencies are not detailed in this report; however,
they can be viewed in the GIS Database provided in Appendix B.
It is recommended future Pier inspections be conducted at regular intervals according to normal industry
standard, every five (5) to ten (10) years or following a significant storm wave or other significant event.

4. Municipal Pier Inspection Observations
General Observations
Visual inspection was performed on the pile-supported substructure and related structural components.
General arrangements of buildings on the top-side of the pier and additional pier appurtenances, were
noted but not considered a part of this inspection. All structural elements were rated on a scale discussed
in Section 3.1, “Element Damage and Overall System Condition Assessment Ratings,” and detailed in
Appendix A. The results are summarized in the following observation and recommendation portions of
this report. Only a summary of the observed conditions is noted in the body of this report, refer to
Appendix E for a full summary of element defects and damage ratings.
To achieve acceptable and safe results, M&N used two four-person teams for the Above Water (AW) and
Underwater (UW) inspections. AW inspections took place between July 24 and September 7, 2018. UW
inspections took place between August 27 and August 31, 2018. For the underwater portion of the
inspection, inspectors used SSA (Surface Supplied Air) from our company boat, and inspectors used all
necessary safety equipment and precautions when preforming the inspections. In addition, two iPads
were utilized to gather digital data entry for both the UW and AW inspections. The Pier inspection went
from Bent 0 though Bent 103, splitting up the inspection into four sections, as shown in Figure 4-1.
The existing Pier is configured in a general rectangular shape on the larger landside portion and transitions
to a narrower waterside approach and platform. Bents 0 through 53 form the larger landside abutment
area while Bent 53 through 103 makeup the approach walkway that leads to the end platform and the
west-end platform itself. The number of total piles that support the pier is approximately 2,180. The
existing Pier has various previous repairs visible, which have been completed at various intervals in the
past. This condition is typical for similar pier structures with regular maintenance cycles. Photos depicting
the different Pier framing systems are provided below.

ZONE 1 - Timber East-End Pier Segment (Bent 0 – Bent 53)
This area of the Pier represents the remaining timber portion of the Pier; the newer concrete portions will
be addressed later in the report. The Pier substructure and structural elements within this portion of the
Pier include timber piles, timber pile caps, timber stringers, timber and steel lateral and transverse
bracing, and timber deck elements. This portion of the Pier extends from Bent 0 from a concrete retaining
wall to Bent 53, which includes in-water portions. Refer to Figure 4-2 below.
Figure 4-2: ZONE 1 Site Plan - Timber East-End Portion of Pier
4.2.1. Item 1- Timber Piles
The timber piles were inspected above and below water. Below water inspection comprised a Level I effort
on all piles, and Level II effort on 10% of all piles. Level I effort is defined as visual inspection only, and
Level II involves the removal of marine growth in three 1-foot wide bands near the waterline, at mid-
depth, and near the mudline, as seen in Photo 4-7.

The timber piles supporting the Pier were identified to be round timber piles ranging from 10 inches to 16
inches in diameter. The exposed length of each timber pile supporting the Pier, from the sea floor to the
underside of the Pier, varies from approximately 10 feet at the landside end of the pier to 40 feet towards
the waterside end. The pile embedment depths were not verified as part of this investigation. As
observed, ZONE 1 of the Pier is supported by a total of approximately 1,580 timber piles. These piles are
responsible for transferring all applicable loading from the Pier to the beach and seabed.
All timber piles appear to be treated with preservative. Several of the piles observed appear to have
previous jacket repairs or have a fiber wrap around the tide level. The jacket repairs and fiber wraps were
likely applied to protect the piles from deterioration due to marine borers, fungal rot, insect attack, and
other environmental factors. These repair methods serve to extend the service life of the piles and help
to protect them from future deterioration.
Observations found defects that ranged in condition from Minor to Severe. Below is a summary of the
observations for the ZONE 1, Item 1 - Timber Piles.
x 18 piles from the overall structure are categorized as having Severe defects.
o Deficiencies noted included deterioration resulting in greater than a 50% loss of the
expected structural capacity, significant voids, missing top connection, and excessive
rotting and splitting. (See Photo 4-8 and Photo 4-9).
o A total of 10 of the 18 Severe piles are located beneath building structures.
x 87 piles from the overall structure are categorized as having Major defects.
o Deficiencies noted included deterioration resulting in a 25% to 50% loss of the expected
structural capacity, significant splits, and apparent instability observed relative to some
portions of the structural member. (See Photo 4-10).
o A total of 31 of the 87 Major piles are located beneath building structures.
x 387 piles from the overall structure are categorized as having Moderate defects. Though not as
urgent as other repairs, these defects should be addressed and/or monitored for future potential
worsening of the deterioration.
o Note: Defects included deterioration resulting in a 5% to 25% loss of the expected
structural capacity, missing or torn pile wraps, open bolt holes, and improper seating of
piles at the pile cap (see Photo 4-11).
o A total of 145 of the 387 Moderate piles are located beneath building structures.

4.2.2. Item 2 – Timber Pile Caps
The timber pile caps that support the pier deck were identified to consist of timber members ranging in
size from 12-inch x 12-inch to 12-inch x 24-inch during the site inspection. The pile caps span along the
bents in a north-south direction of the Pier with lengths varying depending on the width of the Pier. As
observed, ZONE 1 of the Pier is supported by a total of approximately 53 timber bents. These timber pile
caps are responsible for transferring all applicable loading from the upper deck elements to the piles
beneath.
In some cases, previous repairs have been made to pile cap members either by splicing or with the
addition of a ‘corbel’ underneath the existing pile cap where a new pile was used to make contact with
the cap above.
Observations found defects that ranged in condition from Minor to Severe. Below is a summary of the
observations for the ZONE 1, Item 2 - Timber Pile Caps.
x 7 pile caps from the overall structure are categorized as having Severe defects.
o Deficiencies noted included deterioration resulting in greater than a 50% loss of the
expected structural capacity, significant voids, significant indication of ‘dry rot’, and
excessive splitting. (See Photo 4-12 and Photo 4-13).
o A total of 1 of the 7 Severe pile cap locations are located beneath building structures.
x 25 pile caps from the overall structure are categorized as having Major defects.
o Deficiencies noted included deterioration resulting in a 25% to 50% loss of the expected
structural capacity, significant splits, and apparent instability observed relative to some
portions of the structural member. (See Photo 4-14).
o A total of 9 of the 25 Major pile cap locations are located beneath building structures.
x 110 pile caps from the overall structure are categorized as having Moderate defects. Though not
as urgent as other repairs, these defects should be addressed and/or monitored for future
potential worsening of the deterioration.
o Note: Defects included deterioration resulting in a 5% to 25% loss of the expected
structural capacity, missing hardware, open bolt holes, and improper seating of piles at
the pile cap (see Photo 4-15).
o A total of 25 of the 110 Moderate pile cap locations are located beneath building
structures.

4.2.3. Item 3 – Timber/Steel Lateral and Transverse Bracing
The timber lateral bracing that provides lateral support for the Pier structure was identified to consist of
timber members approximately 4-inch x 8-inch in size. While the steel lateral bracing was identified to
consist of steel tubular members approximately 3-inches in diameter x 1/4-inch thick. The lateral bracing
spans between pile bents in both the longitudinal north-south direction and transverse east-west
direction of the pier. These lateral bracing elements are responsible for transferring lateral loads between
piles, allowing the Pier structure to act as a truss system.
There are several types of steel connecting hardware under the structure. In the marine environment,
these elements typically fail as a result of steel corrosion. Galvanizing typically delays the onset of
corrosion and application of coatings can be somewhat effective in mitigating rust. Most of the connectors
are galvanized. The corrosion rating for most of the connectors fall within the Minor or Moderate
categories. A lesser percentage of the connectors are rated as Major or Severe with up to 100% coating
loss and moderate corrosion on the hardware.
Providing more detailed assessment of difficult-to-access hardware was outside of the safely allowed
operational parameters of this inspection, but corrosion of steel connection hardware to some degree is
typical throughout the structure. It is recommended that all hardware be inspected on a yearly basis and
replaced with new hardware as needed.
Observations found defects that ranged in condition from Minor to Severe. Below is a summary of the
observations for the ZONE 1, Item 3 - Timber/Steel Lateral and Transverse Bracing.
x 46 brace members (38 timber / 8 steel) from the overall structure are categorized as having
Severe defects.
o Deficiencies noted included deterioration resulting in greater than a 50% loss of the
expected structural capacity, significant voids, significant indication of ‘dry rot,’ and full
depth split at ends of bracing and failure in blocking between members. These lateral
braces are split at the ends or have become disconnected from their mechanical
connections. This condition will no longer allow the bracing to transfer lateral loads to the
applicable members (see Photo 4-16 and Photo 4-17).
x 123 brace members (111 timber / 12 steel) from the overall structure are categorized as having
Major defects.
o Deficiencies noted included deterioration resulting in a 25% to 50% loss of the expected
structural capacity, significant splits, excessive corrosion at hardware, and major rotting.
(See Photo 4-18).
x 475 brace members (461 timber / 14 steel) from the overall structure are categorized as having
Moderate defects. Though not as urgent as other repairs, these defects should be addressed
and/or monitored for future potential worsening of the deterioration.
o Note: Defects included deterioration resulting in a 5% to 25% loss of the expected
structural capacity, missing hardware, open bolt holes, and noticeable rotting (see Photo
4-19).

4.2.4. Item 4- Timber Stringers
The timber stringers that support the Pier deck were identified to consist of timber members ranging in
size from 3-inch x 12-inch to 4-inch x 16-inch during the site inspection. The stringers span across the
bents in the east-west direction of the Pier with lengths varying depending on the bent spacing. As
observed, the stringers are spaced varies from approximately 16 inches to 22 inches on-center along the
pile bents. These timber stringers are responsible for transferring loading from the deck planks to the pile
bents beneath.
Observations found defects that ranged in condition from Minor to Severe. Below is a summary of the
observations for the ZONE 1, Item 4 - Timber Stringers.
x 2 stringer locations from the overall structure are categorized as having Severe defects.
o Deficiencies noted included deterioration resulting in greater than a 50% loss of the
expected structural capacity, significant splitting, significant indication of ‘dry rot’, and in
some instances missing stringers were noted. This can lead to localized sagging in the pier
deck and cause a structural discontinuity. (See Photo 4-20 and Photo 4-21).
x 11 stringer locations from the overall structure are categorized as having Major defects.
o Deficiencies noted included deterioration resulting in a 25% to 50% loss of the expected
structural capacity, significant splits, and apparent instability observed relative to some
portions of the structural member. (See Photo 4-22).
x 25 stringer locations from the overall structure are categorized as having Moderate defects.
Though not as urgent as other repairs, these defects should be addressed and/or monitored for
future potential worsening of the deterioration.
o Note: Defects included deterioration resulting in a 5% to 25% loss of the expected
structural capacity, missing hardware, open bolt holes, and limited under deck stringer
support in the vicinity of the pier entrance ramp (see Photo 4-23). In some locations
stringers are spaced approximately 3 feet on-center along the length of the pier. Typical
new construction would consider stringer spacing at 16 inches on-center. It is unclear if
these members have sufficient structural capacity for the deck support above. Additional
structural calculations could confirm the adequacy of these members.

4.2.5. Item 5 - Timber Decking
The timber decking that provides a walking surface for the Pier was identified to consist of timber
members 3-inch x 12-inch in size, laid flat. The deck boards span across the stringers in the north-south
direction of the Pier and are fastened to the stringers beneath with nails.
The following is a summary of the conditions of the Pier timber decking from the recent site inspection.
The timber decking was in overall fair to poor condition and its condition should be monitored and
maintenance repairs made as needed. Several previous repairs to the decking were noted during the
inspection. These repairs were made to replace damaged decking and gaps that may have resulted in a
tripping hazard. The defects observed were not considered structural in nature but consisted of split
members and holes that should be monitored and repaired during normal maintenance cycles.
Observations found defects that ranged in condition from Minor to Major. Below is a summary of the
observations for the ZONE 1, Item 5 – Timber Decking.
x 0 decking locations from the overall structure are categorized as having Severe defects.
x 5 decking locations from the overall structure are categorized as having Major defects.

Additional Defects Observed
In addition to the structural components listed in earlier sections of this report, other deficiencies were
noted but were not necessarily in the scope of this inspection. These deficiencies ranged from broken and
corroded utility supports, leaking wet utilities, corroded handrails, and observations that may result in
future deficiencies in the structure. Providing more detailed assessment of difficult-to-access hardware
was outside of the safely allowed operational parameters of this inspection, but corrosion of steel
hardware to some degree is typical throughout the structure. It is recommended that all hardware,
utilities, and handrails be inspected on a yearly basis and replaced with new as needed.
4.6.1. Item 19 – Below-Deck Additional Defects Observed
Utility Supports
There are several types of steel connecting hardware under the structure. In the marine environment,
these elements typically fail as a result of steel corrosion. Galvanizing typically delays the onset of
corrosion and application of coatings can be somewhat effective in mitigating rust. Steel hangers are used
to hang utility pipes below the Pier. As utilities were not included in the scope of this inspection, specific
locations of defects were not recorded, only typical conditions. It is recommended that all utility hangers
be inspected on a yearly basis and replaced with new hardware as needed.
The corrosion rating for most of the connectors fall within the ‘Minor’ or ‘Moderate’ categories with up
to 100% coating loss and moderate corrosion on the hardware. A lesser percentage of the connectors are
rated as ‘Major’ or ‘Severe.’ Some of these areas were noted, and pictures were taken to document their
condition (see Photo 4-52 and Photo 4-53).

5. Repair Observations Summary and Cost Estimate
The inspection and assessment were performed to support the development of repair recommendations
for the Pier. The repair recommendations are presented below in a prioritized manner considering
severity of damage, location, and impact of damage to the overall Pier structural integrity and operational
use of the facilities. An attempt has also been made to categorize the deficiencies that will allow the City
to choose a maintenance or replacement program that best suits their needs and budget. No attempt has
been made to discuss environmental permitting requirements for the recommended repairs at this time.
This inspection report focuses on identification of deficiencies as part of an overall design repair project.
Providing engineering bid documents (repair plans, details, and specifications) for the recommended
repairs are outside the scope of this inspection report. Based on input from the City of which repairs they
would like to continue forward with, M&N can develop plans, details, and specifications for the necessary
repairs identified under a separate task if desired. Due to the nature and configuration of repairs
necessary, required repairs will likely entail water-based construction operations. Various techniques may
be employed to conduct these repairs; it is recommended construction details be developed prior to
construction.
Based on the structural element deficiencies identified in the observation portion of this report, it is our
recommendation that reparative or further extensive replacement options are necessary to prevent
future potential worsening of present Pier defects.
Geographic Information System (GIS) Database
The digital inspection records detailing the existing pier condition ratings and observations are provided
as an ESRI (Environmental Systems Research Institute) file GIS geodatabase. The geodatabase contains
the geometry of the Pier elements, inspection records, and inspection photographs. Relationships
configured within the geodatabase link the structural elements to the inspection photographs. The ESRI
file geodatabase must be viewed using ESRI software such as ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro. The inspection
photosare also provided separately, as a zip file, so they can be viewed outside of the ESRI software suite.

worsening of the defects. These repairs are to be accomplished as soon as feasible but may be delayed
until the City’s next planned maintenance cycle (5 to 10 years). Refer to Table 5-3 below.

Additional Defect Repairs (Hardware and Appurtenances)
Providing a detailed assessment of specific deficiencies in relation to utilities, utility supports, and non-
structural hardware located above and below the Pier deck is outside the scope of work of this inspection.
However, some observed defects that warrant further evaluation and potential action were noted
previously in Section 4, including but not limited to: Utility Supports, Leaking Wet Utility Pipes, Handrails,
and ADA Accessibility. It is recommended that all hardware, utilities, and handrails be inspected on a
yearly basis and replaced with new as needed.A description of the location and disposition of these items
is also found in the GIS database provided in Appendix B.
Repair Cost Estimates
Estimates of probable construction costs have been produced for the three repair conditions “Priority,”
“Short-term,” and “Long-term.” Cost estimates assume each of these repair phases will be done under a
separate contractor mobilization effort. There may be an opportunity to save costs by conducting all
repairs under a single contract or having an on-call agreement with a local marine construction contractor
or by having the City maintenance staff conduct the repairs. Below is a summary of assumptions for the
cost estimate. Refer to Appendix C for a full itemized cost estimate for recommended repairs.
5.6.1. Basis of Cost Estimates
The proposed repair cost estimate consists of the following basic elements:
1. General Requirements (Mobilization / Demobilization, Bonds & Insurance, and misc. allowances)
2. Demolition & Construction Waste Management (including Best Management Practices to
minimize environmental impacts)
3. Pier System Repair Construction (Piles and Structural Components identified for repair, broken-
down into ZONE locations)
4. Project Contingencies
1. General Requirements – This construction element includes allowances for probable cost of
contractor mobilization and demobilization of construction equipment, acquiring necessary bonds
and insurance, and allowances for stand-by due to foul weather or other environmental factors in
order to facilitate over-water marine construction activities. The cost estimate assumes over water
construction activities included in the contractor’s bid will require utilization of floating barges, land-
based and/or water-based cranes, over-water construction crews, and other specialized marine
construction equipment.
2. Demolition & Construction Waste Management – This construction element includes probable cost
of demolition, removal, and disposal of the existing pier facilities (piles, structural framing members,
decking, and appurtenances). M&N’s cost estimate assumes construction Best Management Practices
(BMPs) will be included in the contractor’s bid and utilized in order to minimize and/or eliminate water
pollution and control erosion and sediment.
3. Pier System Repair Construction – This construction element includes installation of pier system
components identified for priority (immediate), short-term (within 1-5 years), and long-term (within
5-10 years) repair directives as defined in the previous sections of this report. Repair is assumed to
consist of materials similar in composition and type of construction methods as utilized for installation
of the existing pier structural components, and in the same location in accordance with the existing
pier repair configurations shown in the GIS Database provided in Appendix B.

4. Project Contingencies – A 20% contingency has been added to the overall base construction cost
estimate. This contingency is intended to account for unidentified expenses, to account for
discrepancies in the contractors actual bid prices, and extent of repair required to correct identified
deficiencies.
5.6.2. Cost Estimates
The costs have been developed based on historical and current data using in-house sources, information
from previous studies, as well as budget price quotations solicited from local suppliers and contractors. A
contingency amount has been included to cover undefined items of work that will have to be performed,
and elements of costs that will be incurred, but are not explicitly detailed or described due to the level of
investigation, engineering, and estimating completed. The opinion of probable construction cost is shown
in Table 5-4 through Table 5-6.

6. Repair Recommendations
This section of the report is intended to provide guidance for recommended repairs and routine periodic
inspection/maintenance of the Santa Monica Pier infrastructure. It is assumed that routine visual
inspections will be carried out by City Maintenance Staff. Where specialized training or certification is
required for specific inspections or testing, that requirement is stated. The frequencies of inspection given
are always stated as the maximum time interval recommended. Record all repairs and field treatments of
specific elements in the GIS database.
Timber Substructure Repair Recommendations
The timber substructure pier segment consists of timber piles, pile caps, pile to pile bracing, stringers,
and decking. The majority of the timber pier segment is on the sand (onshore) and not subject to daily
tidal inundation. However, some of the timber pier segment is located over water (offshore) and subject
to tidal and wave action. It is recommended in the upgrade portion of this report to replace all of the
offshore timber substructure with concrete substructure. Until the replacement with concrete, the
recommendations in this section are applicable. A typical specification for replacement timbers required
for repair is provided below.
x Timber Replacement Specification:
o Timber Piles: Nominal butt and tip diameter size as required and shall be clean-peeled
and conform to ASTM D 25. Lengths may vary depending upon deck height and
embedment requirements, a typical pile may range between 40ft to 80ft in length. When
replacing piles, the Contractor shall confirm specifications for pile size and length with
engineer prior to procurement of materials.Piles must be in one piece; splices will not be
permitted. Provide High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) or fiberglass jacket prior to driving.
After driving, the jacket should measure from a minimum depth of 3 feet below mudline
to a height 10 feet above mudline to prevent against marine borers.
o Timber Members: Nominal size as required and shall conform to S4S No. 1 or better,
Douglas Fir, in conformance with WWPA and SPIB respective grading rules.
o Preservative Treatment: Treat wood to be used in contact with saltwater or saltwater
splash in accordance with AWPA P5 (Material Subject to Marine Borer Exposure) with
waterborne preservative, (ACZA - Ammoniacal Copper Zinc Arsenate) to (2.5 pcf) net
retention.
o Steel Connection Hardware: Provide miscellaneous steel plates, straps, threaded rods,
bolts, and shapes in conformance with ASTM A36. All hardware shall be zinc-coated or
galvanized by the hot-dipped process in accordance with ASTM A 123 / A 153.
o Steel Deck Screws: It is recommended to replace all smooth-shank deck spikes with lag
screws with countersunk heads and washer to pull the planks down to reduce withdrawal.
Lag screws shall be SDWS Timber SS Screw, minimum 8-inches long (Model No.
SDWS27800SS) as manufactured by Simpson String-Tie or approved equal.
6.1.1. Item 1- Timber Piles
Severe and Major Defects
It is recommended that the repair of ‘severe’ and ‘major’ timber piles be performed by experienced and
licensed marine contractors. Where practical, the preferred repair for piles with serious defects is
5.E.b

replacement with a new pile. Due to the difficult accessibility beneath the pier, it is generally not
economical to repair piles by replacing the pile with a new pile. Therefore, it is recommended that they
be repaired utilizing a jacket repair system.
The recommended repair method for timber piles with ‘severe’ and ‘major’ defects isto clean and remove
excess material growth around existing member and install new Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer (FRP)
Jacket and Backfill with High-Strength Epoxy Grout (Simpson Strong-Tie FX-70, or approved equal), refer
to Figure 6-1 for details. Similar previous repairs to the pier were conducted in 2016, details of those
repairs are provided in Appendix F.
Figure 6-1: Timber Pile FRP Jacket Repair Method (Five Star Marine, Inc.)
Moderate Defects
Treated timber piles are typically wrapped with a solid barrier to prevent leaching of the preservative
chemicals into the water. While a well-sealed barrier such as a polyethylene wrap can provide added
protection, a poorly sealed barrier that allows exchange of water and oxygen can actually conceal damage
from organisms that are able to get past the barrier. All wrapping should be replaced where indicated to
minimize potential future worsening of defects. City maintenance staff would likely be able to perform
most of these repairs to onshore piles, but because offshore piles are subject to tidal and wave action and
have build-up of marine growth, both the inspection and maintenance of these piles requires a much
greater effort and task knowledge than onshore piles.
The recommended repair method for timber piles with ‘moderate’ defects is as follows:
x Physical Damage: Field treat physical damage that is observed during inspection with an
appropriate compound to restore the surface resistance to fungi and insects in accordance with
American Wood Preservers' Association, Standard M4, Standard for the Care of Preservative-
Treated Wood Products.
x Fungal Damage: Treat surface damage from fungal attack with a fungicide such as Borate. Borates
are available in many forms including fumigants, liquids, and solids. Significant dry rot that has
more than surface depth should be cut out and the hole filled with an epoxy filler, and then the
area around the hole treated.

Page 52
6.1.2. Item 2- Timber Pile Caps
Severe and Major Defects
It is recommended that the repair of ‘severe’ and ‘major’ timber pile caps be performed by experienced
and licensed marine contractors. This is mostly due to the difficult accessibility to these members beneath
the Pier. Work may require erecting temporary support and scaffolding for the deck above in order for a
new timber pile cap member to be placed on top of the piles.
The recommended repair method for timber pile caps with ‘severe’ and ‘major’ defects is to replace the
pile caps that have loss of bearing strength due to rot, and caps that have significant splitting and
deflection with new pressure treated members of the same or greater size. All missing hardware and
components must be replaced with hot dipped galvanized elements, or a steel strap that is thru-bolted
the pile on both sides is the most likely type of hardware. It is recommended that all hardware be
inspected on a yearly basis and replaced with new as needed. If no connecting hardware is showing and
there are no bolt holes, then the connecting hardware is likely a vertical drift pin completely embedded
in the two pieces of timber.
Moderate Defects
Most repairs for ‘moderate’ defects may be performed by City maintenance staff. At the bearing surfaces,
where the pile cap rests on the pile or where stringers rest on the cap, look for indications that one
element is crushing the other element, as this is a sign that rot is taking place, and normally would occur
where there is excessive moisture. Look for sources of excessive moisture. For the connecting hardware,
look for signs of rust or missing elements such as nuts or entire bolts. Inspect caps for horizontal splits
that are visible on both sides of the cap and for deflection (sagging) between piles. The location, width
and the length of splits should be noted. Splitting and deflection of a cap may indicate a failure condition
due to overloading.
Caps with physical damage and/or surface fungal damage but no loss of bearing capacity should be treated
in the same manner as describe under Item 1 –Timber Piles “Moderate Defects.” Clean and paint existing
connecting hardware showing rust and provide new hardware where missing or damaged.
6.1.3. Item 3 – Timber/Steel Lateral and Transverse Bracing
Severe and Major Defects
City maintenance staff would likely be able to perform most of the ‘severe’ and ‘major’ timber/steel
bracing repairs to onshore bracing, but because offshore bracing is subject to tidal and wave action, these
bracing require a much greater effort and task knowledge than onshore bracing.
The recommended repair method for timber/steel bracing with ‘severe’ and ‘major’ defects is to replace
timber bracing with pressure treated timber at all braces that are broken or are split at the connecting
bolt hole. Also, replace any brace that has over 30 percent of its cross-section lost due to physical damage,
insect damage, or rot. Replace steel bracing with galvanized steel tubing of the same size or larger than
existing. Clean and paint existing connecting hardware showing rust and provide new hardware where
missing or damaged. It is recommended that all hardware be inspected on a yearly basis and replaced
with new as needed.
Moderate Defects
Again, City maintenance staff would likely be able to perform most of the ‘moderate’ timber/steel bracing
defects. It is recommended that timber bracing be inspected at least once every five years, and those
subject to wave action after every major storm. The inspector should note overall brace condition, the
specific condition at the connections, and the connecting bolts. Of all of the Pier structural elements, the

Page 53
bracing is the most vulnerable to physical damage due to impact. Braces are relatively small members for
the length of span and are easily broken if hit from the side.
The recommended repair method for timber/steel bracing with ‘moderate’ defects is to treat braces with
damage or surface fungi in the same manner as described under Item 1 – Timber Piles “Moderate
Defects.”
6.1.4. Item 4, 9, 13, and 17 – Timber Stringers
Severe and Major Defects
City maintenance staff would likely be able to perform most of the ‘severe’ and ‘major’ timber stringer
repairs. However, for replacement of stringers over larger areas (> 2,000 square feet) it is recommended
that repairs be performed by experienced and licensed marine contractors. These efforts will require
temporary removal of the decking above and installation of clips or nailing from above.
The recommended repair method for timber stringers with ‘severe’ and ‘major’ defects is replace or
supplement (install new stringer next to existing) broken stringers as soon as possible. Replace stringers
with loss of bearing strength due to dry rot.
Moderate Defects
Again, City maintenance staff would likely be able to perform most of the ‘moderate’ timber stringer
defects. Treat stringers showing damage or surface fungi as described under Item 1 – Timber Piles
“Moderate Defects.”
6.1.5. Item 5, 10, 14, and 18– Timber Decking
Severe and Major Defects
City maintenance staff would likely be able to perform most of the ‘severe’ and ‘major’ timber decking
repairs. However, for replacement of decking over larger areas (> 2,000 square feet) it is recommended
that repairs be performed by experienced and licensed marine contractors. These efforts will require
temporary removal of the existing decking and installation of new decking using clips or nailing from
above.
The recommended repair method for timber decking with ‘severe’ and ‘major’ defects is to replace
decking when wear has reduced the thickness to less than 2-1/4 inch, or the where uneven surface wear
creates a significant tripping hazard. Replace all broken planks.
Moderate Defects
Again, City maintenance staff would likely be able to perform most of the ‘moderate’ timber decking
defects. Where the vertical difference between planks is caused by bowing of one plank and it is no longer
bearing on the stringers, replace the spikes with lag screws with countersunk heads and washer to pull
the plank down to bearing. Where the vertical difference between planks is caused by a plank that is
thicker than the adjacent plank and the adjacent plank is at least 2 3/8-inch-thick, grind the thicker plank
to match using a slope across the entire plank. Where the vertical difference between planks is caused by
a plank that is thinner than the adjacent plank and the adjacent plank is at least 2 3/8-inch-thick, replace
the thinner plank with a new pressure treated 3-inch nominal (2 1/2-inch net) plank.
Concrete Substructure Repair Recommendations
The concrete substructure pier segments consist of concrete piles, pile capitals, pile caps, and waffle slabs.
The majority of the concrete substructures are offshore and subject to daily tidal inundation. In both the
5.E.b
Packet Pg. 586 Attachment: 2018 Pier Infrastructure Inspection & Assessment Study [Revision 4] (5853 : Award RFP# SP2689 to Moffatt & Nichol for Pier

The City of Santa Monica, CA M&N Project No. 10225
Page 54
ZONE 2 Pacific Park amusement area and ZONE 3 West-End Approach area, the concrete substructure
consists of prestressed concrete piles with concrete pile caps and strut beams. In the ZONE 4 West-End
Platform area the concrete substructure consists of prestressed concrete piles with a concrete waffle slab
matrix above.
Deterioration of concrete in the marine environment is most commonly caused by corrosion of the
reinforcing steel or physical damage from impact. Deterioration of concrete piles can also be caused by
cracking during an earthquake. Sometimes, but rarely, deterioration is caused by excessive loads other
than earthquake. Deterioration takes the form of concrete cracks, spalling (loss of surface concrete), and
corrosion of the reinforcing steel evidenced by rust stains. Figure 6-2 below is a graphic depicting the
progression of reinforcement corrosion, which can lead to more serious defects such as spalling and
cracking.
Figure 6-2: Concrete Corrosion and Spalling Progression
Recommendations for repairs to existing deficient concrete members focus on removing existing rust
and deleterious material, splicing new steel reinforcing (if required), and patching with an epoxy grout
material to prevent further corrosion. As an added level of protection, the City may want to consider the
inclusion of sacrificial anodes in order to slow the rate of corrosion of reinforcement within the
concrete. The anodes act as an electron current pacification system in order to draw harmful chloride
ions away from the reinforcing steel, as a result instead of corroding the rebar the chloride ions will
corrode the anode first. Figure 6-3 below depicts the process and shows the general location of anodes
cast into the concrete. It should be noted that removal of concrete down to the reinforcing steel is
required for this type of repairs, combined with the anode the cost is typically 30%-50% higher than
typical concrete spall repairs. A typical specification for grout required for repair to concrete members
is provided below.

6.2.1. Item 6, 11, and 15 - Concrete Piles
Severe and Major Defects
It is recommended that the repair of ‘severe’ and ‘major’ concrete piles be performed by experienced and
licensed marine contractors. Because the offshore portions of the Pier are located high above the water,
scaffolding will need to be constructed to provide access for the repair contractor. It is recommended that
a detailed inspection, including sounding with a hammer or ultrasonic device be performed over all of the
members, before repairs begin, and any additional damage repaired at the same time. Visual inspection
will need to be performed from a combination of locations including the existing utility catwalks, the lower
fishing platforms, the lower catwalk along the southern edge, and possibly by boat. The close spacing of
the beams and the limited clearance between the utility catwalks and the bottom of the concrete will
make the inspection of more than two or three beams beyond the catwalk difficult.
The recommended repair method for concrete piles with ‘severe’ and ‘major’ defects is an FRP jacket
repair system. More detail on this repair method is found in Item 1 – Timber Piles “Severe and Major
Defects.” The most common location for corrosion damage in round concrete piles is at the top of the pile
where the prestressing forces are reduced and possible overstress from driving is likely, and vertical cracks
along the face of the pile. Existing surfaces should be cleaned of all loose material by chipping with hand
tools and/or sand blasting. Splicing or new steel reinforcement may be required where corrosion of
existing rebar is excessive. Additional spiral reinforcement is the most common type of steel
reinforcement that would be required, and example of a previous repair project where this type of repair
was conducted in provided in Appendix F. If formwork is required in the splash zone, care should be taken
to provide water-tight formwork and/or pump water out of formwork or provide underwater self-
consolidating concrete to displace water within the formwork.
Moderate Defects
It is recommended that the repair of ‘moderate’ concrete piles also be performed by an experienced
concrete repair specialist. Generally, it is not economical to repair moderate damages to individual
concrete piles. However, major damages should be repaired as soon as practical and all moderate to minor
repairs included in the same project.
Visual inspection of concrete piles is recommended at least once every five years. Note all surface
damages, cracks, and rust stains on piles. Note the size and location of all observed defects. Especially
note any exposed reinforcing steel. Compare noteddefects with those in the GIS database for the previous
inspection. If minor defects are unchanged from the prior inspection, then immediate repair is not

warranted. Major deterioration or deterioration that has significantly increased since the prior inspection
should be scheduled for repair.
The recommended repair method for concrete piles with ‘moderate’ defects isto clean and remove excess
material growth around existing pile and install new formwork and/or fill cracks with grout.
6.2.2. Item 7, 8, and 12 - Concrete Pile Caps and Pile Capitals
Severe and Major Defects
It is recommended that the repair of ‘severe’ and ‘major’ concrete piles be performed by experienced and
licensed marine contractors. Again, this is due to the offshore portions of the Pier being located high above
the water, which will require scaffolding to provide access for the repair contractor.
The recommended repair method for concrete pile caps and pile capitals with ‘severe’ to ‘major’ defects
is to clean and remove excess material growth around existing member by chipping with hand tools
and/or sand blasting and install new formwork, dowel rebar (if required), and cast new concrete repair
section around the existing member. No portion of pile caps and capitals is anticipated to be prestressed.
An alternative method of construction would be to wrap the member in an FRP composite to provide
additional strength and prevent against future corrosion.
The most common location for corrosion damage in beams is at the lower corners where cracking from
bending is likely and the infiltration of chlorides can approach from both the bottom and the side faces.
In these corners the concentration of chloride ions increases twice as fast at the reinforcing steel as it
does at steel with only one close face. Figure 6-4below depicts this and areas that typically require repair.
Figure 6-4: Repair of Concrete Corrosion and Spalling
Moderate Defects
The recommended repair method for concrete pile caps and pile capitals with ‘moderate’ defects is to
clean and remove excess material growth around existing member and install new formwork, dowel
rebar, and fill cracks with grout.
Visual inspection of concrete caps and capitals is recommended at least once every five years. Pay close
attention to the exposed corners. Note all defects observed including cracks, spalls, and rust stains. Note
the location and approximate size of all defects observed, especially note cracks on both faces that form
a corner. This can indicate corrosion in the corner reinforcing bar even without visible rust stains.

6.2.3. Item 16- Concrete Waffle Slab
Moderate Defects
Defects that are ‘sever’ or ‘major’ in nature were not identified for any portion of the waffle slab structure.
It is recommended that the repair of ‘moderate’ concrete waffle slabs be performed by an experienced
concrete repair specialist. Scaffolding will need to be constructed to provide access for the repair
contractor, it is recommended that a detailed inspection, including sounding with a hammer or ultrasonic
device be performed over all of the members, before repairs begin, and any additional damage repaired
at the same time. However, major damages should be repaired as soon as practical and all moderate to
minor repairs included in the same project.
The recommended repair method for concrete waffle slabs with ‘moderate’ defects isto clean and remove
excess material growth around existing member by chipping with hand tools and/or sand blasting and
install new formwork and/or fill cracks with grout. No portion of waffle slab is anticipated to be
prestressed. An alternative method of construction would be to wrap the member in an FRP composite
to provide additional strength and prevent against future corrosion.
Since there is no redundancy in the reinforce steel of the waffle slab, any indication of corrosion in the
bottom bar, such as rust stains or longitudinal cracks in the bottom face or sides near the bottom, should
trigger a repair project within the following five years.
Other surface defects without rust stains are not a trigger for repair but need to be watched for continued
deterioration or appearance of rust stains.

7. Upgrades Assessment and Related Studies
This upgrades assessment was performed to support the development of future capital improvements
programs for the Santa Monica Pier. This section of the report contains the findings and recommendations
of potential upgrades to the Pier. However, planning for future changes to Pier specific uses, load
requirements, and zoning is outside the scope of this report. Current direction given by the City has been
to focus on updating load requirements to H-15 (15 ton) for delivery truck access and H-20 (20 ton) for
emergency vehicle access. The current conditions that the upgrades assessment is based on include the
findings of the visual inspection of the pier as part of the PIAS-2018, results of previous studies from the
PIAS-2008, and subsequent upgrades that have been completed on the pier since 2008. Upgrades in most
cases are beyond repairs recommended in the “observations and repairs” portion of this report. However,
if upgrades are made in an area, then it is assumed the repairs would automatically be taken care of for
that area.
This upgrades assessment report focuses on identification of upgrades necessary to achieve necessary
load requirements or future maintenance goals as part of the overall pier capital improvements program.
Providing engineering bid documents (upgrade plans, details, and specifications) for the recommended
upgrades are outside the scope of this report.
Pier Load Rating and Upgrades Assessment
The results of the pier load assessment are broken into localized Areas corresponding to the type of
construction, anticipated loading, and age of construction. Recommendations from the previous PIAS-
2008 study have been incorporated into this PIAS-2018, and recommended upgrades updated to reflect
actual Pier conditions at the time of inspections as well as to consider upgrades completed to the Pier
since the last inspection in 2008. Figure 7-1 below depicts the different pier areas, and a complete map of
the pier load rating can be found in Appendix D.

Uniform Live Load: 50 psf
Vehicle Live Load: 2 Tons (4,000 pounds)
Upgrades Recommendation: Upgrade to 100 psf Uniform Live Load and H-5 (5 Ton) Vehicle Live Load
In this zone the stringers are 3-inches x 10-inches at 18 inches on-center. The calculated capacity for this
area is approximately 50 psf and a maximum vehicle weight of 4,000 pounds. This is less capacity than the
adjacent aquarium roof, and less than the code capacity for pedestrian assembly areas of 100 psf. It is
recommended that this area be upgraded by adding additional 3-inches x 10-inches at 18 inches on-
center. These could be centered between the existing stringers or placed next to them. Either
configuration would result in an allowable uniform live load of 100 psf and a vehicle weight of 5 Tons
(10,000 pounds).

Vehicle Live Load: 2.75 Tons (5,500 pounds)
Upgrades Recommendation: Upgrade to allow H-15 (regularly)/H-20 (occasionally) Vehicle Live Load
(Included in M&N Current Contract with City for Pier Upgrades)
In this zone the stringers are 3-inches x 12-inches at 22 inches on-center, with 2-inch nominal decking.
The calculated capacity for this area is 65 psf and a maximum vehicle weight of 5,500 pounds. It is
recommended this area be upgrades to meet H-20 vehicle capacity for occasional occurrences and H-15
vehicle capacity for regular occurrences. To accomplish this the stringers in this area must be removed
and replaced with 16-inch deep stringers. In most cases the pile caps have an additional 4-inch thick
member on the top, which could be removed to maintain the same top of stringer elevation. In cases
where this 4-inch member does not exist, the pile caps would need to be lowered. To accommodate the
transverse aisle at the east end of the parking lot, the stringers between Bent 4 and 6 are recommended
to be 6-inches x 16-inches at 16 inches on center with at least 3-inch nominal decking. For the longitudinal
aisles and parking spaces from Bent 6 to Bent 12 the stringers are recommended to be 4-inches x 16-
inches at 16 inches on-center with at least 3-inch nominal decking.

Current Load Rating
Uniform Live Load: 125 psf
Vehicle Live Load: 6 Tons (12,000 pounds)
Upgrades Recommendation: Upgrade to allow H-10 (10 Ton) Delivery Vehicle Live Load
In this zone the stringers are 3-inches x 16-inches at 22 inches on-center. The calculated capacity for this
area is approximately 125 psf and a vehicle weight of 12,000 pounds. The code requirement for a sidewalk
is to allow for up-to an 8,000-pound concentrated load for occasional vehicles, which corelates to an H-
10 (10 Ton) truck. It is recommended that this area be upgraded to sidewalk standards with 3-inch x 16-
inch or 4-inch x 16-inch stringers placed between the existing stringers and 3-inch decking to allow access
for maintenance vehicles and possibly delivery vehicles.

Pier Upgrades Cost Estimate
Estimates of probable construction costs have been produced for the recommended upgrades for the pier
deck areas to achieve necessary load requirements for future maintenance goals as part of the overall
pier capital improvements program. Cost estimates assume each of these upgrade phases will be done
under a separate contractor mobilization effort. There may be an opportunity to save costs by conducting
all upgrades under a single contract, by having an on-call agreement with a local marine construction
contractor, or by having the City maintenance staff conduct the upgrades. Refer to Appendix D for a full
itemized cost estimate for recommended upgrades.
The costs have been developed based on historical and current data using in-house sources, information
from previous studies, as well as budget price quotations solicited from local suppliers and contractors. A
contingency amount has been included to cover undefined items of work which will have to be performed,
and elements of costs which will be incurred, but which are not explicitly detailed or described due to the
level of investigation, engineering, and estimating completed. The opinion of probable construction cost
is shown in Table 7-2 through Table 7-4.

Sea Level Rise
7.4.1. Sea Level Rise Scenarios
The 2018 update of the California Ocean Protection Council’s (OPC) Sea-Level Rise (SLR) Guidance has
been identified by the California Coastal Commission (CCC) as the current best-available science on the
subject. This report provides probabilistic SLR projections under high and low-emissions scenarios from
2030-2150. The 2018 OPC report lists the likely range of SLR in Santa Monica under a high emission,
“business as usual” scenario as 0.3 – 0.5 feet by 2030, 0.6 – 1.1 feet by 2050, and 1.5 – 3.3 feet by 2100.
These projections are identified by the CCC as being appropriate for low risk aversion activities. For
medium risk aversion activities under the same scenario, the CCC recommends planning for 0.8 feet of
SLR by 2030, 1.9 feet by 2050, and 6.8 feet by 2100. The range of SLR projections for each risk aversion
curve are provided in Figure 7-3. These OPC projections vary slightly from projections listed in the City of
Santa Monica Local Coastal Program Update - Land Use Plan (Public Draft dated February 2018) but in
general remain consistent for each time horizon.
Figure 7-3: California Ocean Protection Council SLR Projections and Associated Risk
Recommendations
7.4.2. Potential Vulnerabilities
Future vulnerabilities due to SLR primarily result from increases in coastal flood elevations, rates of
erosion, and wave action. While the Santa Monica Pier itself is elevated on piles, coastal processes
influenced by SLR may result in physical impacts to different elements of the pier structure. Some of the
processes influenced by SLR that have the potential to result in impacts to the Pier are described below:
5.E.b
Packet Pg. 603 Attachment: 2018 Pier Infrastructure Inspection & Assessment Study [Revision 4] (5853 : Award RFP# SP2689 to Moffatt & Nichol for Pier
Santa Monica Pier–Infrastructure Inspection and Assessment Study February 11, 2020
The City of Santa Monica, CA M&N Project No. 10225
Page 71
Beach Erosion
A widely accepted consequence of SLR is the landward and upward shift of the beach profile in response
to the water levels and wave action reaching higher elevations. The Santa Monica shoreline in the vicinity
of the Pier has been relatively stable due to historic beach nourishment activities and wave protection
provided by the submerged offshore breakwater. However, SLR will result in long-term retreat of the
beach profile, eventually exposing more segments of the Pier to the dynamic nearshore coastal processes.
This will potentially expand the inspection and maintenance requirements as more of the piles will be
subject to the harsh environmental factors that typically occur where piles are subject to fluctuations in
water levels, sand levels, and wave action.
Extreme Events
Extreme events where large waves coincide with high water levels have been responsible for most of the
damage to coastal piers in California, including the failure of the outer portion of the Santa Monica Pier in
1983. These events often occur during winter months and are associated with strong El Niño Southern
Oscillation patterns, which typically result in above average water levels and larger wave events along the
coast of Southern California. SLR will result in less freeboard between the Pier deck and the wave crest
elevation during such extreme events. A review of the basis of design documents for the outer section of
the Santa Monica Pier may provide the design freeboard, an indication of how much SLR could be
accommodated before impacts to the pier deck, piles, cross-bracing, utilities or other elements would be
expected. The future risk of damage from an extreme wave event also depends on the continued
effectiveness of the submerged offshore breakwater at reducing wave heights and water depths in the
vicinity of the Pier.
A summary of the potential impacts from increased beach erosion and extreme wave events due to SLR
is as follows:
x Increased erosion of underlying beach and exposure of piles that were previously outside of the
dynamic nearshore tidal zone (i.e. increased inspection, maintenance and repair required to
maintain safety and/or functionality).
x Increased wave forces on piles already suffering from deterioration due to the harsh marine
environment.
x Uplift and impact forces on piles and deck during some combination of extreme wave event + SLR.
x Damage and potential failure of piles, bracing and under-deck utilities as a result of increased
wave loading.
x Loss of operational functions due to flooding of ground level parking and access locations.
7.4.3. Potential Impacts and Next Steps
The Pier structure consists of a variety of materials and configurations and therefore the exposure to
coastal hazards and potential impacts will vary greatly throughout the structure. For example, older
timber piles that exhibit deterioration near the tidal zone would be more vulnerable to the effects of
increased wave action driven by SLR than the newer reinforced concrete piles. Likewise, different
locations of the Pier will experience different types of coastal processes. Extreme events, where high-
water levels coincide with large wave heights, are a concern for over-water sections of the Pier, but less
of a concern at the base of the Pier where storm wave energy would have dissipated across the beach

profile. In addition to direct impacts to the Pier, there are also in-direct impacts such as flooding or erosion
of ground level parking or access structures that could impact the function and usage of the Pier.
The next step in understanding the Pier vulnerabilities is to identify the thresholds of SLR that would be
problematic for the different segments of the Pier. This information would be useful to factor into
planning and design of major improvements to the Pier and associated structures. This condition
assessment provides a first step in describing the current state of the Pier and identifying areas in need of
repair or improvement. The next step, outside the scope of this study, would be to compare this
information against coastal hazard projections for a range of SLR increments. This effort would involve
characterizing the site-specific hazards such as long-term shoreline erosion, storm-related erosion, and
extreme wave crest profiles in relation to the Pier deck elevations. Each of these factors are influenced by
the submerged breakwater located offshore of the Pier. SLR will reduce the effectiveness of the offshore
breakwater, exposing the shoreline and Pier structures to additional wave energy that could increase the
potential vulnerabilities. At this time, these site-specific details are not well resolved in regional efforts
such as the Adapt LA Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment nor the coastal hazard projections published
by USGS as part of the CoSMoS program.

-
-
-
A contingency amount has been included to cover undefined items, due to the level of engineering carried out at this time. The contingency is not a reflection of the accuracy of the estimates but
covers items of work which will have to be performed, and elements of costs which will be incurred, but which are not explicitly detailed or described due to the level of investigation, engineering and
estimating completed today.
This construction cost estimate is an 'Opinion of Probable Cost' made by a consultant. In providing opinions of construction cost, it is recognized that neither the client nor the consultant has control
over the cost of labor, equipment, materials, or the contractor's means and methods of determining constructability, pricing or schedule. This opinion of construction cost is based on the
consultant's reasonable professional judgement and experience and does not constitute a warranty, expressed or implied, that contractor's bids or negotiated prices for the work will not vary from
The costs have been developed based on historical and current data using in-house sources, information from previous studies as well as budget price quotations solicited from local suppliers and
contractors.

-
- This construction cost estimate is an 'Opinion of Probable Cost' made by a consultant. In providing opinions of construction cost, it is recognized that neither the client nor the consultant has control
over the cost of labor, equipment, materials, or the contractor's means and methods of determining constructability, pricing or schedule. This opinion of construction cost is based on the
consultant's reasonable professional judgement and experience and does not constitute a warranty, expressed or implied, that contractor's bids or negotiated prices for the work will not vary from
The costs have been developed based on historical and current data using in-house sources, information from previous studies as well as budget price quotations solicited from local suppliers and
contractors.A contingency amount has been included to cover undefined items, due to the level of engineering carried out at this time. The contingency is not a reflection of the accuracy of the estimates but
covers items of work which will have to be performed, and elements of costs which will be incurred, but which are not explicitly detailed or described due to the level of investigation, engineering and
estimating completed today.

Subject: Construction Observations of Pacific Park Concrete Pile Repairs
Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica, California
AECOM Job # 60493919
Dear Mr. Jilk:
AECOM performed construction observations for the repairs of the Pacific Park support piles 53C,
46F (A) and 46F (B) located at the Newcomb Pier, at the Santa Monica Pier, in Santa Monica, CA. The
observations were performed between June 8 and June 30, 2016.
The construction observation consisted of assessing pile deterioration, provide repair details and
conform piles have been repaired in accordance with industry standard repair methods and procedures.
Site Layout
The piles to be repaired are located on the southern side of the Santa Monica Pier under the Pacific
Park amusement park, as is shown in Figure 1. This portion of the pier is constructed using timber
decking and stringers, which are supported by concrete beams and pile caps, which in turn are
supported by concrete piles.

Construction Observations of
Pacific Park Concrete Pier Repairs
Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica, California

Three exhibits are attached which show the layout of the columns, beams and piles. Exhibit 1 shows an
overall plan of the Newcomb Pier Pile Plan. Exhibits 2 and 3 provide an enlarged plan which identifies
the labeling of the individual piles.
Inspection and Repair Methods
The repair observations were performed under the supervision of a California Registered Engineer. The
piles that were in the water were accessed using built-in catwalks and contractor supplied scaffolding
underneath the pier.
John S Meek Company Inc. (JSM) removed loose and spalled concrete to expose the existing
reinforcement. AECOM performed a visual inspection of the exposed reinforcement and concrete. Our
observations indicated that the visible corrosion was mainly on the spiral ties, dowel tubes and pre-
stressing strands. There was little corrosion on longitudinal reinforcement.
Based on the observation, AECOM provided JSM with the repair detail shown on Exhibit 4 along with
the following recommended repair sequence:
1. Remove spalled and unsound concrete.
2. Clean area to be repaired of all foreign materials.
3. Where existing spiral ties are missing, severely corroded or as directed, add new W11 spiral ties @ 3
inches on center.
4. At locations where the remaining perimeter distance of sound concrete is greater than 24 inches, a
partial circle W11 spiral tie shall be used and lapped with existing ties a minimumA of 10 inches.
5. At locations where remaining perimeter distance of sound concrete cover is less than 24 inches, the
entire concrete cover shall be removed and full circle spiral ties shall be used.
6. The concrete cover to all new reinforcing shall be 3" minimum.

Assessment and Methodology
The Santa Monica Pier has been an iconic element of the city since the early 1900’s. It was and
still is today a space where tourists and locals congregate to enjoy sunsets, entertainment, and
activities featured on the pier.
Despite the step grade, narrow sidewalks and high curb, thousands of people visit the Pier, by
either walking, bicycling or driving on the Pier Bridge. They are welcomed by iconic signage that
displays the Santa Monica name and logo and by informational Kiosks explaining elements on
the pier to enjoy; such as the historic carousel, fi shing piers, entertaining performers and Pacifi c
Park.
The idea of the pier and the history that surrounds it sets a whimsical background for those who
visit it. However, over many years of harsh coastal weather, unforeseen vandalism problems, a
mish mash of replacement furniture, and a lost sense of style standards, the elements on the pier
no longer present a cohesive atmosphere that tie all of the pier’s characteristic icons together.
Pier Assessment and Methodology
Development on the Pier has been guided by Santa Monica Pier Design Guidelines, adopted in
1987. These Guidelines address many features found on the Pier, but give only general guidance.
WRT referred to these Guidelines during its assessment of current conditions, and noted where
future recommendations about specifi c features would be warranted. It is WRT’s intent in the
Architectural Conditions Assessment Report to assess the public amenities for their functional-
ity, appearance, durability, comfort, sustainability and maintenance condition. Information and
observations about these amenities will be the basis for more detailed recommendations to be
formulated in coordination with the City and with input from the Santa Monica Pier Restoration
Corporation and the public. The issues raised in this Report and the results of community input,
will be further expanded upon and incorporated into the Sustainability Plan, the Maintenance
Plan, the Lighting Plan and the Urban Design Plan.
This section looks not only at urban furnishings, but opportunities to improve specifi c areas of
the Pier to enhance the public’s enjoyment of this nationally recognized community, environ-
mental and cultural resource.
This assessment report provides the team’s analysis of the various site elements as they ap-
peared during these site visits.
The following elements were addressed:
1. Railings
2. Benches
3. Picnic Tables
4. Trash Receptacles
5. Curbs
6. Decking
7. Lighting Fixtures
8. Special Features

Railings
Rail Type 1: Blue Metal Rail
Location: Primary railing, used on pier perimeter
Sector Graphic: (A, B, D, E, F, G)
Number: Approximately 4,500 Linear Feet
Quality assessment:
Materials: The railing is constructed of 3 (sometimes
4) horizontal 2” diameter steel pipe rails, with 2” diameter steel tube
posts and fi ttings. All metal tubing is painted blue and appears to have
been painted multiple times. Stainless steel cables have been added
in the horizontal direction, centered between metal rails to create the
4” minimum clearance required by code. However, code has been
updated and vertical barriers at minimum 4” O.C. have not been added.
Joints vary in diff erent sections of the railing; some are welded, while
others are assembled with metal tees.
Maintenance: Paint has been chipped and repainted
multiple times. Rust appears where paint is missing, most typically
in areas of concentrated fi shing activity. Metal rails require constant
repainting to prevent rust, as rust can form wherever metal is exposed.*
Functionality/Placement: The railing provides a safety
barrier at the edge of the pier. However, the railing no longer meets
current safety requirements as there are more than 4” square openings
in the rail.
Durability: Painted metal is a durable option for railing if
rust is prevented.
Sustainability: There is no evidence that this railing uses
low VOC paint or a renewable material. Recycled content material
should be considered for this application in the event of replacement.
Comfort: While the rail provides a fairly transparent
barrier to the ocean, the steel rail is not very comfortable to lean
against.

Rail Type 1: Socket
Rail Type: Steel cables
The entire pedestrian area of the Pier is surrounded by a barrier rail
with a minimum height of 42 inches. The predominant railing type is
a painted blue metal post and railing. There is a section of this railing
that is similar but with a wooden top rail. At the west end of the Pier
there is also a painted wood and metal railing that separates the upper
and lower decks and forms the stair railing. These varied railings do not
create a cohesive design for the Pier. The 1987 Pier Design Guidelines
recommends that the railings should be compatible with overall build-
ing design and are corrosion, graffi ti and vandal resistant. No specifi c
type of rail is prescribed.

Rail Type 2: Blue Metal with Wooden Top Rail
Location: Southeast corner of pier
Sector Graphic: (G)
Number: approximately 1,200 Linear Feet
Quality assessment:
Materials: The railing is similar to Type 1 with the
addition of a 2x8 wooden top rail. The railing is made of 3 (sometimes
4) 2” diameter horizontal metal tubes, with 2” diameter tubular metal
posts. The top rail is a stained and coated wooden 2x8 plank, heavily
worn, and supported by a bracket underneath. All metal tubing
is painted blue and appears to have been painted multiple times.
Stainless steel cables run horizontally only, centered between metal
tubes to reduce the opening size to 4” in one direction. Joints vary
in diff erent sections of railing; some are welded while others are
assembled with tees and sockets.
Maintenance: In general, the paint covers the metal
railing consistently. Paint is worn and chipped in limited areas of
high use especially along ramps, with rust observed where metal has
been exposed. Metal tubing must be painted to prevent rust as wear
requires. Wood is teak and requires pressure washing and re oiling
annually in the spring. *
Functionality/Placement: The railing provides a safety
barrier at the edge of the ramp and at the deck above the volleyball
court. The railing does not meet current safety requirements as there
are more than 4” square openings between members.
Durability: Metal and wood are solid, durable, and
appropriate materials for this railing if the metal remains painted to
prevent rust and the wood is regularly refi nished.
Sustainability: There is no evidence that this railing
uses low VOC paint or a renewable material. Recycled content
material should be considered for this application as well as a recycled
composite in the event of replacement.
Comfort: The rail is more comfortable to lean against
because of the wide, wooden top rail.

Rail Type 3: White Rail with Green Top Rail
Location: West end of pier, on deck and staircases
Sector Graphic: (E)
Number: approximately 400 Linear Feet
Quality assessment:
Materials: This metal rail is quite diff erent than the other
two rails and occurs only in a limited area at the Observation Deck at
the west end of pier. The rail is made of 2” diameter painted steel posts
and bottom rail, with a painted green wooden top rail. Horizontal
stainless steel cables and turnbuckles have been added in the horizon-
tal direction to limit size of openings.
Maintenance: In general, the paint covers the metal rail-
ing consistently. The paint is worn and chipped in limited areas of high
use but rust was not observed. The painted wood top rail is worn and
raw wood is exposed in some areas.
Functionality/Placement: The railing does not meet cur-
rent safety requirements as there are more than 4” openings between
members.
Durability: Metal and wood are solid, durable, and
appropriate materials for this railing if the metal remains painted to
prevent rust and the wood is regularly refi nished.
Sustainability: There is no evidence that this railing uses
low VOC paint or any renewable materials. Recycled composite should
be considered for wood substitute as well as recycled content metal.
Comfort: The rail is more comfortable to lean against because of
the wide, wooden top rail.
Rail Type 3: Green Top Rail

General Observations about Railings: It was observed and confi rmed by
maintenance that these railings are not holding up to the standards of
the pier and require too much maintenance.* There are missing pieces,
rust and failing sections that need constant upkeep and are unappeal-
ing to pier users. A material/railing that does not rust and requires no
painting will be considered and researched further by WRT.

Bench Type 1: Blue Seat with White Logo Base
Location: Along promenade
Sector Graphic: (A, B, D)
Number: 29
Quality assessment:
Materials: This bench is the “standard” Santa Monica
park bench found throughout the City. The base and supports for
this bench are white painted pre-cast concrete with the words “Santa
Monica” stamped into the base. Seat and seatbacks are 2x4 wood slats
which are been painted blue. Benches are approximately 7 feet long
and accommodate 4 people. There appears to be two slightly diff erent
bench types, assumed to be of diff erent eras.
Maintenance: Concrete supports require painting to
maintain a clean fi nish, wood slats require regular painting and sanding
or replacement if damaged.
Functionality/Placement: Benches are located in such a
way that adjacent railings block ocean view when seated. All benches
face the ocean. An option should be considered that allows benches
to be oriented in other directions to take advantage of sun and people
watching. These benches do not have any arm rests which makes them
targets for bench sleepers.
Durability: The base is heavy, not easily moved, and very
durable. The wood components may be easily defaced.
Sustainability: Recycled content material should be con-
sidered in the event of replacement.
Comfort: This bench has a straight, tall back making it
more comfortable for taller users. The seat and seatback surfaces are
made of wood which is more comfortable than the metal benches on
the pier. However, this bench could have been more comfortable if it
had more lumbar support and curve on the seating surface. The wood
surface dries quickly in the marine environment.
Benches
Bench Type 1
Bench Type 2
There are currently three diff erent styles of benches on the Pier.
The blue Seat/white base benches are custom made and most
predominant bench on the Pier. The other benches are prefabricated
and appear to have been added at diff erent dates than the original.
The 1987 Pier Design Guidelines recommends that the benches should
be compatible with overall building design and are corrosion, graffi ti
and vandal resistant. No particular type of bench is prescribed.

Bench Type 2: Blue Metal Hatch
Location: West side of entrance to Pacifi c Park Sector Graphic: (C)
Number: 1
Quality assessment:
Materials: This bench is a modern design and approxi-
mately 6 feet long and seats 3 adults. It is fabricated of blue painted or
powder coated open grid metal, with one piece seat and back. Metal
tubes on sides act as legs and armrests. It is bolted to the deck.14

Packet Pg. 780 Attachment: 2018 Pier Infrastructure Inspection & Assessment Study [Revision 4] (5853 : Award RFP# SP2689 to Moffatt & Nichol for Pier
Bench Type 2: Blue Metal Hatch Continued.
Maintenance: Routine repainting is required to prevent
rust; removal from site is required if powder coating needs to be reap-
plied, per manufacturer’s directions. The open metal seat prevents
water from ponding on the surface.
Functionality/Placement: This bench is less likely to attract
bench sleepers as it is shorter and has arm rests. This bench was ob-
served to be very well used at all times, with high demand for seating in
this area.
Durability: Rust was observed at base and near welds
where the metal has been exposed.
Sustainability: Consider recycled content and sustainable
materials in the event of replacement.
Comfort: Curved seat and seatback provides lumbar sup-
port, however the grid open metal pattern is uncomfortable to sit on,
especially in shorts. The curved shape of the seat and seatback is not
conducive to sitting at any angle other than straight-ahead.
Bench Type 3: Victorian Bench
Location: West end of pier; Sector Graphic: (E)
Number: 2
Quality assessment:
Materials: Victorian style six foot bench that seats four
adults. Bench is made of 3 ornate cast iron supports/arm rests with a
composite slat board. Bench is bolted to wood deck.
Maintenance: The benches are inside the Observation
Deck and are in excellent shape. Composite boards are easily replaced
if they were to become damaged.
Functionality/Placement: This bench design captures the
“Victorian” character of the carousel, but does not blend well with the
more rustic pier aesthetics at the western end. No other benches or
site furnishings found on the Pier match this style. The bench appears
lighter and less solid than the exterior benches.
Durability: Composite boards may be subject to scratch-
ing and carving. The lightweight construction of this bench appears to
be much less durable than other site furnishings.
Sustainability: Composite slats could have been made of
recycled content but are not identifi ed as such.
Comfort: Shape, materials, and armrests make this the
most comfortable bench on the pier.
Bench Type 3
9 .
General Observations about Benches: It was found that not only was seat-
ing insuffi cient on the pier but those which were provided did not meet
aesthetic, functionality or comfort expectations. Maintenance expressed a
need for at least a dozen more.* In the Urban Design Plan, WRT, in consulta-
tion with the City and SMPRC, will identify additional locations for public
seating and will give guidance about how seating should be arranged.

Tables
Table Type 1: 4-foot Square Orange Powder Coated Table (seats 8)
Location: Entrance to the Pacifi c Park
Sector Graphic: (C)
Number: 10
Note: Privately owned
Quality assessment:
Materials: Prefabricated outdoor picnic table, with top
and seats made of vinyl coated metal mesh. The seats are attached
to table top with painted tubular metal legs. An umbrella opening is
provided, but none of the tables have umbrellas.
Maintenance: The vinyl coating on the tables allows the
table to be easily wiped or hosed off for cleaning. However, it looked as
if daily maintenance had not been performed; many tables were coated
with a layer of dust and/or dirt.
Functionality/Placement: The vinyl coating defl ects
sunlight, keeping this table cooler when placed in the direct sunlight.
All of the outdoor tables are located at the entrance to the amusement
park. Although this arrangement is convenient for patrons who pur-
chase food at adjacent stands, there are no quiet places to sit at a table.
Handicap accessible tables should be made available; tables provided
have permanent benches on all four sides, leaving no roll up access for
persons in wheelchairs. A table with one open side or alternative table
design with easy accessibility is strongly suggested.
Durability: The tables all seemed to be withstanding the
ocean/salty conditions. There was no observed rust and the tables ap-
peared to be fairly new.
Sustainability: There are no apparent sustainable aspects
to these furnishings. In the event of replacement, low VOC paint, recy-
cled content, and local materials should be utilized wherever possible.
Comfort: This is a relatively comfortable outdoor cafete-
ria table. The seats are wide enough to comfortably seat two adults on
each bench. The edges are rounded and have a plastic coating which
provides a level of safety and comfort. They generally experience rapid
customer turnover.
The Pier currently has one main outdoor eating area adjacent to the
main food vendors and Pacifi c Park. There are two styles of tables and
they are intermingled on either side of the amusement park entrance
walkway.

Table Type 2: Round Metal Table
Location: Entrance to Pacifi c Park
Sector Graphic: (C)
Number: 9
Note: Privately owned
Quality assessment:
Materials: Three-Foot diameter metal table with three
attached bench seats. Tables seat six adults very tightly and are more
appropriate for three persons. They are colorful, with bright pink and
yellow seats with white tables. Fabric umbrellas are provided at each
table.
Maintenance: The metal fi nish is chipped and limited rust
was observed.
Functionality/Placement: These tables are heavily utilized
because they serve all the food vendors at the Pacifi c Park entrance.
It would be desirable to have more tables in this area, and designate
another area on the pier where people could eat as well.
Durability: The round metal tables have some rust.
Sustainability: There are no apparent sustainable aspects
to this piece of furniture. In the event of replacement, low VOC paint,
recycled content, and local materials should be used where possible.
Comfort: The seat and table top are made of painted
metal. The leg room under this table is small to accommodate a group
of adult users.
Table Type 2
11 .
General Observations about Tables: The existing tables provide insuf-
fi cient seating and lack basic ADA standards. Table 1 is maintenance
friendly and easy to clean, however table 2 has signifi cant imperfec-
tions mainly rust, due to inappropriate material choices. Any additional
tables to be maintained by Pier Maintenance would have to be easy to
clean, ADA accessible, adaptable for diff erent types of users, and aes-
thetically cohesive throughout the pier. New tables could possibly be
an opportunity to get private owners to update their tables. Setting a
standard for furniture should be enforced.

Receptacle Type 1: “Barrel” Receptacle
Location: Around Pacifi c Park
Sector Graphic: (C, F)
Number: 4
Note: Privately owned
Quality assessment:
Materials: Barrel with wood staves wrapped with metal
bands and a plastic funnel lid. Wood is unfi nished. Receptacles look old.
Maintenance: The wood is unfi nished and would require
sealant to increase longevity. The plastic funnel lid (white) shows dirt eas-
ily.
Functionality/Placement: The plastic funnel lid helps to
keep trash in the barrel and hidden from view; however, it is not very aes-
thetically pleasing. Visually, this receptacle does not match any other site
furnishings found on the pier.
Durability: The metal straps around the outside of the bar-
rel have small amounts of rust, and the screws holding these straps are
rusted.
Sustainability: No sustainable elements are obvious in this
furniture. Use of renewable wood could be implemented in the event of
replacement.
Trash Receptacles
Trash Receptacle 1: Barrel
Trash Receptacle 2: Santa Monica logo
Trash receptacles are a necessary and important site furnishing. They should be
viewed as another opportunity to strengthen the design concept and cohesion.
More recycling receptacles should be provided throughout the pier to encour-
age recycling. The 1987 Pier Design Guidelines recommends that the trash re-
ceptacles are compatible with overall building design and are corrosion, graffi ti
and vandal resistant. No particular type of receptacle is prescribed. The Design
Guidelines do require that dumpsters for the various concessions are screened.
12 .
Receptacle Type 2: Concrete Cylinder with Santa Monica Logo
Location: Present in all zones on the pier.
Sector Graphic: (A-G)
Number: 45, most predominant trash receptacle on the pier
Quality assessment:
Materials: Custom pre-cast light colored concrete cylinder
with metal collar around center hole, as well as bronze City of Santa Monica
Logo. These pre-cast receptacles are new.
Maintenance: Requires little maintenance, weight makes it
diffi cult to move or take, which is why Maintenance expressed their prefer-
ence for this receptacle.* There is no rust and weathering, but on-going
cleaning is necessary.
Functionality/Placement: The pre-cast concrete is a good
choice for marine environments since they contain no metal and painting is
not necessary.

Durability: The receptacle appears to be very durable concrete
construction, with few signs of wear or need of for replacement.
Sustainability: No sustainable factors appear to be consid-
ered for development of this product in regard to materials. However, the
long life span of the receptacle reduces need for replacement and thus

Maintenance: The receptacle is very rusted, faded and
appears dirty.
Functionality/Placement: This trash receptacle has no
lid, exposing trash to seagulls and wind.
Durability: Rust is forming where the paint has failed.
Metal looks unsubstantial for the use and marine environment.
Sustainability: No sustainable elements are associated

with vertical slats and horizontal bands with a standard tapered formed
lid, similar in style to trash can. A liner holds the recycled material. A
blue and white “recycle” sign designates this bin for recycling.
Maintenance: The container was worn and not clean.
Regular repainting is required.
Functionality/Placement: Site recycle bins do not sepa-
rate any recyclable materials and are not clearly labeled as to which
recyclables they accept. The Pier should include more recycling stations
and they should be placed along side trash receptacles. Containers
that accommodate multiple recyclable materials should also be imple-
mented. Recycled materials include, but are not limited to, newspaper,
plastics, glass, food, compost, etc.
Durability: Rust is forming where the paint has failed, but
with routine repainting this is a durable option.
Sustainability: No sustainable elements are associated
with this product. A recycled metal alternative should be considered in
the event of a replacement.

General Observations of Trash Receptacles: The most functional recep-
tacle was the Santa Monica custom concrete designed bin. The rest are
made of corrosive materials that don’t match, are hard to maintain and
are easily vandalized or stolen. WRT will look into receptacles similar to
the Santa Monica concrete variety and suggest additional opportuni-
ties for placement. Additional recyclable bins are also suggested that

Quality assessment:
Materials: Painted wood timber.
Maintenance: Repainting required on a regular basis.
Functionality/Placement: This curb defi nes the mainte-

trians.
Durability: The timber appears durable enough to satisfy
function though edges of wood are becoming worn and repainting is

Curbs
The curbs found on The Pier are made of heavy timbers which have
been bolted to the decking. These timbers serve to guide traffi c and
defi ne the fi re lane. Curbs are not defi ned in the 1987 Design Guide-
lines but the Guidelines do require timber wheel stops.
Curb Type 1: Yellow

Decking
The pier’s top decking material is made up primarily of 2x12 pieces of
lumber. In most places the decking runs perpendicular to the edge of
the pier, however, there are areas where the planks are mounted di-
agonally at a 45 degree angle to the sides of the pier. The 1987 Design
Guidelines require exposed wood decking for all pier walkways, access
and service drives and parking areas.
Decking Type 1: Pedestrian Areas
Location: All wood areas for pedestrian use; Sector Graphic: (A-G)
Area: approximately 180,000 Square Feet
Quality assessment:
Materials: Exposed 12” wide pressure-treated wooden
decking planks, unfi nished.
Maintenance: The wood planks were generally in good
condition. There were no signifi cant gaps identifi ed, and it appears
that where gaps had occurred, they had been corrected. Wood decking
requires routine washing, sealing (except for pressure treated wood),
and replacement as necessary due to wear and exposure.
Functionality/Placement: When well cared for wood
decking makes for an enjoyable and marine oriented walking surface.
Durability: The decking shows limited wear in the pe-
destrian areas. Challenges for wood decking include the variability of
wood products, twisting, warping, splitting, etc. Also, wear of deck can
leave hazardous exposed nails. Deck boards should be replaced when
nails are exposed.
Sustainability: Any wood used should comply with sus-
tainable forestry practices. Otherwise alternative renewable materials
should be considered, such as a high recycled content composite.
Comfort: The wood decking is comfortable to walk on
provided it has been adequately maintained.
Decking Type 1: Pedestrian
Decking Type 2: Asphalt 16 .
Decking Type 2: Asphalt covered decking
Location: Central Walkway; Sector Graphic: (B)
Area: approximately 5,400 Square Feet
Quality assessment:
Materials: Asphalt coated wood deck with corrugated
metal panels
Maintenance: Occasional cleaning is required, along with
routine repainting of the stripes.
Functionality/Placement: The metal sheets appear to
cover a mechanical chase. An alternative to this design is desired as
this option is inconsistent with the requirement of the Design Guide-
lines.

Decking Type 2: Asphalt covered decking continued.
Durability: The asphalt was cracking and showing signs of wear.
Sustainability: Materials more sustainable than asphalt and steel
should be used where available.
Comfort: The asphalt rises above the level of the wooden deck
and creates an uneven surface. The corrugated metal sheets are uncomfortable
to walk on due to their uneven surface. Pedestrians did not appear to prefer to
walk on this surface unless necessary.
Note: Asphalt covered decking and corrugated metal panels are
scheduled to be removed and replaced with wood decking.*
General Observations about Decking: We have identifi ed that there are/were
signifi cant gaps in the decking. Large areas of repair have been corrected by
maintenance by replacing said areas with “patches” of decking. However, over-
all decking was in good shape on the main walk. And it was noted that there
are plans to replace decking with 3” thick boards, instead the 2” boards that are
currently used. ** Therefore, gaps and general repairs will be reduced. Sealing of
decking is not necessary due to the fact that the boards are pressure washed.***
The painted parking lines wear and fl ake and need to be repainted several times
each year. WRT will make recommendations to be included in the Maintenance
Plan about alternative approaches to striping parking lots with more durable
materials

Decking Type 3: Parking lot and vehicular traveled decking
Location: Parking Deck; Sector Graphic: (G)
Area: approximately 83,000 Square Feet
Quality assessment:
Materials: Pressure treated wooden decking planks, 12” wide,
painted with parking lot striping.
Maintenance: These areas appear to have been replaced at diff er-
ent times. Decking should be replaced where cracks and gaps pose a hazard.
Re-striping should also occur on a regular basis to ensure a cohesive fl ow within
the lot.
Functionality/Placement: The parking deck planks appear uneven
and worn when compared to “pedestrian only” areas. The boards are spaced
further apart and in many cases greatly exceed ¼” between fl oor boards.
Durability: The vehicular decking is signifi cantly more worn than
pedestrian decking due to heavy and constant use. Raised knots and nails were
observed. Typical challenges of wood decking include dealing with variability of
wood products, twisting, warping, splitting, etc. .
Sustainability: Any wood used should comply with sustainable
forestry practices. Otherwise alternative renewable materials should be consid-
ered, such as a high recycled content composite.
Comfort: The uneven surface is bumpy while driving in a car.

Lighting
There are fi ve diff erent lighting fi xtures existing on the Pier. They
are of assorted designs and styles and various heights. Lighting is
predominant on the perimeter of the pier, and less prevalent in the
parking lot or central areas. The majority of the lighting fi xtures
appear to be of diff erent vintages and some are in questionable or
non-working condition. (Observed at nighttime, about 20% of the
lights were not lit). The Pier lacks a coherent theme in lighting and a
consistency in fi xtures. The Design Guidelines dictate that there is a
minimum of 4 footcandles and a maximum of 8 footcandles in lighting
levels. Style and fi xture type is not prescribed but recommends
that the fi xtures are compatible with overall building design and are
corrosion, graffi ti and vandal resistant.
Lighting Type 1: Cobra Head Light Fixture
Location: First 100 feet of Central Walkway
Sector Graphic: (A)
Number: 12
Quality assessment:
Materials: Standard cobra head fi xture made of metal
with glass lamp cover on a painted white metal pole, 18 feet high.
Maintenance: Routine replacement is required for ex-
pired bulbs. Painted white metal poles need annual painting and
occasional cleaning, and maintenance has confi rmed that painting the
tall lights is not a problem with the use of a crane.* According to Bill
Bollinger, the Pier Maintenance supervisor, there was a previous desire
to replace the 26” Cobra Head” lights with the other ornamental lights
along the rest of the deck.
Functionality/Placement: Tall overhead lighting serves to
illuminate the main path; however they provide no pedestrian ambi-
ance on the pier at night. Lights of this style are generally associated
with vehicular traffi c and parking. This lighting arrangement is not ap-
pealing for a pedestrian oriented walking space.
Durability: Many of the Cobra head light poles are se-
verely rusted and the bases are weakened by the corrosive environ-
ment.
Sustainability: Fixture should use an effi cient, low watt-
age lamp where possible. Also poles should be made of renewable,
high recycled content materials.

Location: Succeeds the cobra head fi xture down the second half
of the pier, wraps around the observation deck,
and continues down the east side of the deck. Sector Graphic: (A, B, D, E, F)
Number: 40
Quality assessment:
Materials: Ornate metal light pole, 15 feet, is painted grey
with a tear drop shaped glass lamp cover, in a “historic” style. Hanging
banner or pot hooks are provided, however there were no banners or fl ower
pots observed.
Maintenance: The fi xtures appear relatively new and in good
condition. They require routine replacement for expired bulbs. Grey poles
may need occasional cleaning and repainting.
Functionality/Placement: The poles are spaced at
approximately 40 feet on center. Light levels felt safe and comfortable
for the pedestrian, when operating. The shorter fi xture has a more
human scale and seems to fi t in with the character of the Pier better. This
pole is more ornate than the other fi xtures on the Pier, with curvilinear
appendages and unique globes. The dark color hides dirt and blemishes
better than the white poles.
Durability: These light poles are durable and showed few
signs of rust. Provided adequate attention is given to regular painting
these poles should remain durable.
Sustainability: The fi xture should use an effi cient, low
wattage lamp where possible. Also poles should be made of renewable,
high recycled content materials.
Lighting Type 3: Wooden Light Fixture
Location: Observation/fi shing decks. Located around the
observation deck and the lower fi shing decks; Sector
Graphic: (E)
Number: 7
Quality assessment:
Materials: 8x8 wooden pole, 15 foot tall, with wood cross
arms supporting two metal light fi xtures. Fixtures appear to be sodium
vapor (orange glow) at night.
Maintenance: The wood is weathered and pressure treated.
Maintenance is necessary to prevent the wood from becoming weathered
looking.
Functionality/Placement: The design of this fi xture has
horizontal arms which provide bird roosts. Bird repellent measures
(“bird spikes”) appear to be an after market addition. The fi xture is a box
“spotlight” style that provides little aesthetic character.
Durability: The wooden pole is very weathered looking.
It also has a shorter lifespan than its metal counterparts and more
susceptible to vandalism; concrete or fi berglass may be more desirable for
durability.
Sustainability: The fi xture should use an effi cient, low
wattage lamp wherever possible. Also poles should be made of renewable
and high recycled content materials.

Location: Illuminates the perimeter of the southern parking deck; Sector Graphic: (G)
Number: 7
Quality assessment:
Materials: 8x8 painted wooden pole (teal green), 20-25 feet tall with a dual,
box light fi xtures mounted at top. An additional light fi xture is provided shining onto beach.
Conduit runs outside the pole with exposed junction boxes. Bird spikes are provided to
prevent roosting.
Maintenance: The wooden pole is in need of new paint, as it is noticeably
peeling. Because it is wood, regular maintenance and upkeep will require the light to
function at its best.
Functionality/Placement: The lights illuminate the perimeter of the parking
lot, but there is a lack of lighting in the middle of the deck.
Durability: The wood is worn and requires regular painting to maintain fi nish.
Sustainability: The fi xture should use an effi cient, low wattage lamp where
possible. Also poles should be made of renewable and high recycled content materials.
Lighting Type 5: Bell Shaped Light Fixture
Location: Eastern edge of pier near Carousel; Sector Graphic: (G)
Number: 8
Quality assessment:
Materials: Gray/green painted round metal pole with 2 bell-shaped
fi xtures on arched posts mounted at top of pole. Poles are approximately 15 feet high.
Maintenance: The painted poles are well worn and scratched. The inside
of fi xture is very rusted.
Functionality/Placement: When observed at night, these lights provided
a comfortable level of light for pedestrians. There did not appear to be “hot” bright
areas or deep dark areas in this area by the carousel. The light poles are appropriately
scaled to function in a human scale/promenade experience. However, these lighting
fi xtures are not consistent in style with any other fi xture on Pier. They are located in
only one corner of the deck instead of being integrated into the rest of the design.
Durability: The metal seems to be very durable for this situation if
painted surface is maintained to prevent rust.
Sustainability: The fi xture should use an effi cient, low wattage lamp
where possible. Also poles should be made of renewable and high recycled content
materials.
Lighting Type 4:
Box Light Fixture
Lighting Type 5:
Bell Fixture
20 .
General Observations of Lighting: Some of the lighting featured on the pier have the festive char-
acter the pier desires, where others are more utilitarian in nature. Because of the many diff erent
lighting styles, no overall lighting feature contributes substantially to the pier’s character. The Type 2
Arched Fixture is the most in keeping with the desired historical compatibility and pier character but
its limited use does not promote a consistent image. Currently the varied fi xtures create a variety of
maintenance concerns, including corrosion in the ocean environment, bird perches, and the need
for repainting. WRT has noted that a comprehensive and cohesive lighting fi xture will substantially
contribute to the urban design character of the pier as well as create uniform maintenance require-
ments and uniform light levels.

While these items were not identifi ed in the scope of the Urban Design assessment and therefore not
investigated to the same level as the previous items, they were observed as critical to the pier’s char-
acter and environment. These items are included here to further address the additional features that
make up the urban context.
Features
Feature Type 1: Telescopes
Location: Along the northern edge of the Central Walkway;
Sector Graphic: (B, D)
Number: 11
Quality assessment:
Materials: Grey painted prefabricated metal pedestals
mounted to pier decking, with a step for child’s use.
Maintenance: Moderate rust was observed. Routine
cleaning and occasional repainting is required for upkeep.
Functionality/Placement: We noticed many of the
telescopes were in use every time we visited the pier. Telescopes look
out towards the beach, water, City of Santa Monica, and Santa Monica
Mountains in the distance.
Durability: The telescopes appear to be high grade and
appropriate for this application.
Sustainability: No particular sustainable elements
apparent in this feature.
Feature Type 2: Designated Smoking Areas
Location: Four locations throughout the pier, two on the
observation deck, one on the western edge and
southern edge of amusement park adjacent to railing.
Sector Graphic: (D, E, F, G)
Number: 8
Quality assessment:
Comfort: The platforms allow for a designated place to
smoke. Smoking is prohibited on other parts of the pier.
Materials: The grey painted plywood sheet with smoking
urn sits directly on pier decking.
Maintenance: The platform requires regular painting and
clean up of garbage around smoking area.
Functionality/Placement: Smoking will be banned from
beach in the future which would eliminate the need for this element.
Durability: Smoking stations appear to address a
designated need but are not integrally designed as part of the pier.
They appear to be a temporary solution.
Sustainability: No sustainable elements in existing
feature.
General Observations of Smoking Areas: Recommendations for more
compatible smoking receptacles and smoking areas will be identifi ed in
the Urban Design Recommendations.
Feature 1: Telescope
Feature 2: Smoking Areas

Packet Pg. 793 Attachment: 2018 Pier Infrastructure Inspection & Assessment Study [Revision 4] (5853 : Award RFP# SP2689 to Moffatt & Nichol for Pier
Feature Type 3: Fishing Utilities
Location: Lower level fi shing decks at east end of pier
Sector Graphic: (E, D)
Number: 3 Sinks
Quality assessment:
The Design Guidelines identifi es that cutting boards,
cleaning sinks and railings shall be consistent and compatible with the
rest of the pier. It also suggests that “new construction at fi shing pier
shall also evoke whimsy and fantasy.” There is no whimsy or fantasy in
these utilitarian services.
Materials: Wooden 12x24 fi sh cutting boards are located
at various random intervals along the metal rail. The wood is untreated
and heavily carved. Three free-standing pre-fabricated stainless steel
sinks with fi sh cleaning stations.
Maintenance: The wooden cutting boards are easy to
detach and replace when necessary. The metal sink design is simple
and easily cleaned using a hose.
Functionality/Placement: Sinks and water source are
easily accessible at all lower fi shing decks. Currently sinks are provided
as well as wooden cutting boards attached to existing railings. There
are also movable aluminum garbage bins for use by fi shermen.
Durability: Perhaps more permanent trash receptacles
could be designed for use by fi shermen specifi cally. Stainless steel
sinks seem to be very high quality and used heavily. Amenities need to
be durable due to heavy use of the pier by fi shermen.
Sustainability: No sustainable elements noted in existing
features.
Feature Type 4: Planters (belong to restaurant-private property)
Location: Near entrance to Pacifi c Park (C) and near restaurant at
end of pier (E); Sector Graphic:
Number: 4
Quality assessment:
Design Guidelines: The Design Guidelines include a
statement that landscape features shall be minimized and not compete
with the architecture. Species shall be compatible with the beach
environment.
Materials: One wood and three plastic pots
Maintenance: Maintained adequately by concession.
Functionality/Placement: Planters can be a very pleasing
site amenity; however this has not been executed successfully due to a
lack of coherency.
Durability: Wood or heavy plastic planters are
appropriate and durable materials for this application. Existing planters
were not in need of replacement or refurbishing.
Sustainability: Wood, especially harvested using
responsible forestry techniques, is a preferred alternative over plastic
unless it is a recycled plastic product.

Feature Type 5: Bike Racks
Location: Four locations with three diff erent styles of bike racks:
A row of two standard metal racks on the west side of
Pacifi c Park, one metal “low profi le” rack next to the
restaurant at end of pier, one “wave” rack just east of
the Carousel, and one “wave” rack at beginning of the
pedestrian walk; Sector Graphic: (D, E, F, G)
Number: 5 racks total
Quality assessment:
Materials: Metal, Blue Paint
Maintenance: Some rust on bike racks where not
painted.
Functionality/Placement: The bike rack at the entrance
of the pedestrian walk has room for eight bikes and was full upon one
observation; consideration should be given to adding more parking
spaces at this location. The rack at the west end of the Pier has room
for eight bikes; two bikes were parked at this rack. “Low profi le” racks
are less desirable because they do not support the bike on its frame;
bikes to fall over more easily in this style of rack. There were no bikes
parked at the other three rack sites. Effi cient rack system would help
encourage fi sherman and pier visitors to use bicycle transportation.
Durability: With proper paint, bike racks should be able
to survive the pier climate with little rust damage. Painted bike racks
are easily scraped by bikes and locks. Stainless steel is more durable
and will not rust but is more expensive.
Sustainability: Bike racks encourage non-motorized
transportation. Recycled content metals should be used wherever
possible.
General Observations: Bike valet stations were introduced to the Pier
in 2007 during the Twilight Dance Series and were very popular. The
Urban Design Study will address possible locations for bicycle valet
stations.
Feature 5: Bike Racks
23 .
Feature Type 6: Security Barriers
Location: The City installed approximately 3’x3’x3.5 boxes around
the Pier.
Quality assessment:
Materials: Wood, and fi lled with sand
Maintenance: Originally, Pier Maintenance planted plants
in the boxes, but the water damaged the deck boards, so the plants were
removed and plywood was placed on the tops.
Functionality/Placement: Sited to create a traffi c barrier.
General Observations: These security barriers are large, and block
pedestrian fl ow. Bollards that require little maintenance could serve the
pier better and are recommended in the pier guidelines. If planters are to
be used, we suggest that they follow the design guidelines.

Packet Pg. 795 Attachment: 2018 Pier Infrastructure Inspection & Assessment Study [Revision 4] (5853 : Award RFP# SP2689 to Moffatt & Nichol for Pier
Feature Type 7: Parking Kiosk and Pedestrian Access
Location: The kiosk to the parking lot is located at the entrance
to the Newcomb Deck. A pedestrian walkway, designated by chain link
and raised curbs, leads pedestrians to and from the Newcomb Deck to
the Municipal Pier.
Quality assessment:
Functionality/Placement: The pedestrian path,
designated by a chain link fence, is not in character with the pier and
appears temporary, but the function is appropriate for protection from
vehicular activity. Options such as bollards and diff erential fl ooring
material can serve the same purpose and create a safe walking space
for pedestrians. The Design Guidelines state that the pier is to develop
a unique, pedestrian oriented environment with ease of access and
user friendliness as a prime design consideration. Improvements to the
pedestrian circulation will create a better pedestrian environment.
General Observations: The pedestrian walkway presents an opportunity
to improve the ambiance of the Pier and create a walkway that
adheres to the goals of the Design Guidelines. These goals encourage
improvements that relate to the Pier and create a safe, functional and
appealing circulation path and entrance to the Pier for both vehicles
and pedestrians.
Feature Type 7: Parking Kiosk
Feature Type 8: Observation Deck
Location: At the west end of the Pier
Number: l
General Observations: The Observation Deck at the west end of
the Pier is a rarely used resource. It is an enclosed area and access is
from a staircase or by an elevator. The Observation Deck is furnished
with benches and a trash can and is painted red and green, which
is complementary to the adjacent Mexican Restaurant, but not to
the public nature of the Pier. The Santa Monica Pier Restoration
Corporation Staff has indicated that they will install historic displays
in this area as part of the Pier’s 100th Anniversary. Selection of paint
colors, repair of windows, replacement of light fi xtures, and installation
of seating and tables would add to the ambiance. Guidance about how
to treat this area will be included in the Urban Design Study.

Feature Type 9: Display Cases
Location: Display cases are located near the Police Sub-station
and the elevators at the west end.
Quality assessment:
Maintenance: Unless display cases are cleaned regularly
and the material updated, they give an appearance of neglect.
Functionality/Placement: Their current location is not
an ideal spot for visitors to congregate and read. The displays are right
outside of the bathrooms, they are up a level of stairs and not easily
accessible to everyone, and they are tucked away out of view.
General Observations: Display cases create an opportunity to share
important information about the Pier, businesses and current activities.
When part of a regular program, they create interest and educate Pier
visitors.
Feature Type 9: Historic Display Cases
Feature Type 10: Pier Skirting
Location: Around the pilings of the pier where pedestrian
accessibility is an issue
Quality assessment:
Materials: wood fencing
General Observations: The skirting was constructed to prevent
unauthorized access under the pier and security, while the existing
Design Guidelines suggest whimsical treatment. Our observation is
that the skirting/fencing should not compete with the festive activity
on the pier and should remain ‘background’.
Feature type 10: Pier Skirting

Feature Type11: Outdoor Dining Barriers
Location: Outside Pacifi c Park dining areas and restaurant
located on the west end of the pier. These structures are privately
maintained.
Quality assessment:
Functionality/Placement: Serve their purpose of
sectioning off and privatizing the eating spaces.
General Observations: Each restaurant on the Pier provides barriers
for its outdoor dining. The Design Guidelines state that development
of exterior dining, lounge and vending areas is strongly encouraged.
However to match the architectural standards of the guidelines they
should still retain the whimsical character that matches the rest of
the architecture, which the current barriers do not. Although these
are privately constructed barriers around the tenants’ leasehold areas,
they are highly visible feature of the Pier. The Urban Design Study will
provide guidance about alternative designs for barriers that enhance
the ambiance of the Pier.
Feature Type 11: Restaurant barrier
Feature Type 12: Gazebos
Location: Newcomb Deck, at the southeast corner of the Pier.
Number: 2
Quality assessment:
Materials: Steel, same as railing system
Maintenance: Same maintenance and material as the
railings. Yearly painting and touch-ups.
Functionality/Placement: Main seating for the volleyball
courts is provided by the bleachers to the south of the parking
lot. While the gazebos fi t in with the character of the pier, they are
architectural “follies”.
General Observations: The Gazebos were intended to be rest areas for
visitors, but lack seating, cover and functionality. In consultation with
the City the Urban Design Study, will make recommendations as to
how these amenities can be enhanced.

Feature Type 13: Signage
Location: Along deck. More concentrated at west end.
Quality assessment:
Functionality/Placement: WRT noticed a lack of signage
for bathroom locations and overall directional signs. Regulation signs
were noticeable and suffi cient. The main Kiosk is large but placed off
the main path. It provides visitors with useful information but seems to
go unnoticed by many visitors.
General Observations: Signs advising the public about acceptable
rules of conduct on the Pier (e.g. no diving, no alcohol, etc.) are placed
throughout the Pier. These signs are of metal, about and were installed
in 2007. Consolidation of information on these signs has reduced
clutter. A diff erent location for the pier’s informations kiosk should
be considered as well as a more inviting display around it to attract
visitors. The Urban Design Study will recommend an expansion of the
signage program and kiosk display.

The Santa Monica Pier has been an iconic element of the
City and region since the early 1900’s. Unique among California
piers, the Santa Monica Pier, its
history and activities, are a clas-
sic yet – whimsical stage welcoming tourists and locals alike. How-
ever, over many years of harsh coastal weather, active urban use
and the addition of an eclectic mix of site furnishings (benches,
lighting, trash receptacles, etc) the Pier no longer presents a cohe-
sive atmosphere worthy of Santa Monica. This set of recommen-
dations, based on an assessment of current conditions, is intended
to guide the choices for the selection of new and replacement
furnishings.

The fi rst step in the process was to
review the Santa Monica Pier Design
Guidelines (Guidelines), adopted
in 1987. The Guidelines provide a
general vision for the character of the
buildings and furnishings and allow
fl exibility in accomplishing its goals.
methodology
WRT then interviewed City staff
from maintenance, public safety and
operations. The Assessment of Ex-
isting Conditions was conducted in
late 2007 and presented to the Santa
Monica Pier Restoration Corpora-
tion (SMPRC) March 5, 2008, and is
included as Attachment No. 1. WRT
was then directed to prepare recom-
mendations for improving the charac-
ter and function of the public spaces
of the Pier.
Design alternatives were presented to
the SMPRC Operations Committee
on May 28, 2008. The alternatives in-
cluded three ‘families’ of site furnish-
ings representing a range from those
of Palisades Park and South Beach to
contemporary styles and materials.
Based on this input, WRT is making
the following recommendations.

The Santa Monica Pier was built for the pleasure of the public in
1909. Ever since, citizens and visitors have enjoyed the amuse-
ments and relaxation of the Pier. The very nature of a pier – apart
from the land, above the sea and into the sky – is a place for en-
joying a remarkable set of experiences. Santa Monica’s traditions
of spinning around the carousel, soaring in the Ferris wheel, gath-
ering for picnics, entertainment, fishing, strolling, and enjoying
the view remain strongly held. The nationally recognized historic
structure of the Hippodrome Building and contributing elements
on the Pier, combined with the purpose – for fun, sets the founda-
tional character and style of the public realm of the Pier deck. This
character has been best described as ‘whimsical.’
Two fundamental opportunities were
identifi ed in the Assessment of Exist-
ing Conditions:
1. Visual clarity, user comfort and
maintenance could be improved with
the selection of a complementary
‘family’ of site furnishings.
2. The placement of site furnishings
could assist in directing circulation
and defi ning spaces for specifi c use,
i.e. performance.
recommendations
The following recommendations are organized to guide the selection of specifi c
items, i.e. benches, lights, etc., – Site Furnishings; and how to arrange them on
the Pier.

The historic Byzantine-Moorish
styled Hippodrome at the base of the
bridge graciously marks the entrance
to the Pier. More recently constructed
buildings line the eastern portion
of Pier and are characterized by
the bold signage for the dining and
amusement attractions within. The
architecture of the distant west end
might be characterized as an eclectic
craftsman style. The site furnishings
are a mix of styles and materials and
the wood decking is compromised by
numerous anomalies of asphalt and
metal plates.
The style and character of the Pier’s
site furnishings need to be simplifi ed
to become an integrated family of
elements that is complementary of
the architecture styles and contributes
to a sophisticated sense of whimsy.
This will reduce the visual clutter
that distracts from the quality of the
Pier experience and reduce efforts in
maintenance and operation.
site furnishings
Each of the items meets basic criteria
for high quality materials that will
reasonably withstand the corrosive
coastal environment and require
minimal maintenance which con-
tribute to a level of ‘sustainability.’
The manufacturers and model infor-
mation illustrate the design intent.
Equivalent elements may be identi-
fi ed through the City’s public bid
process. Quantities are approximate,
provided for planning purposes. Fig-
ure 1 diagrammatically locates each
of the site furnishing elements.

The 6,100 linear feet of rail on the
Pier is constructed of three to four
horizontal two inch steel pipe rails,
with two inch diameter steel tube
posts and fi ttings, fi gure 2. Some
sections have a wood top rail. Stain-
less steel cables have been added in
the horizontal direction, centered
between metal rails to create a four
inch minimum clearance. However,
current code requires vertical barriers
at minimum four inches on center.
In addition, joints vary in different
sections of the railing.
There are various materials that
could replace the railing that would
require less maintenance and present
a different aesthetic image. However,
the cost to replace the railings is
estimated at $2.75 million. A more
economical alternative is to retrofi t
the railing to meet current code for
opening size. To achieve the require-
ment, stainless steel cable at four inch
on-center spacing should be added in
a vertical pattern.
The color of the railing should be
painted Mediterranean Blue, RAL
color system 5002 to match new
benches, tables and lighting.

The Assessment of Existing Condi-
tions concluded that there were not
enough seating and resting opportu-
nities on the Pier. In addition, there
are three types of benches on the Pier,
some of which are more comfortable
than others. The Condition Assess-
ment Report noted that the benches
on the Pier have backs and are in a
fi xed position, most facing the ocean.
These types of benches limit the visi-
tors view. A backless bench provides
more fl exibility for the visitor.
WRT recommends a new bench
standard to replace variety of existing
benches. The new benches should be
of a style that provides options for
backless benches and benches with
backs, inviting the visitor to look out
to the ocean or onto the spectacle of
performances and people on the Pier.
This report recommends the removal
of all thirty two existing benches and
the addition of forty one new backed
benches and twenty seven backless.
They should be surface mounted to
the deck and carefully located in the
locations shown in fi gure 1 to provide
a range of seating opportunities.
The recommended style of bench,
fi gure 3, is 48” Scarborough – hori-
zontal metal strap as manufactured
by Landscapeforms, fi gure 3. These
benches should all be powdercoated
by the manufacturer in ‘Ocean Blue’
to match the railing, tables and lights.
The estimated cost for each bench
is $990 for backless and $1,080 for
backed.
benches
The bench is also an opportunity to
engage public art on the Pier. Intro-
ducing public art into the seating is
encouraged to build on the legacy of
‘whimsy’ of the Pier. Santa Monica,
renowned for its programs for public
art, may consider numerous options,
such as:
a. replace all existing benches
with a ‘off-the-shelf’ benches
and add a few artist-designed/
custom made benches each year,
fi gure 4;
b. locate artist-designed/custom
made benches in specifi c locations,
such as on the deck east of the
Hippodrome; or
c. engage an artist to enhance a
new set of ‘off-the-shelf’ benches.
WRT recommends establishing a
public art program to invite qualifi ed
artists to create one-of-a-kind seating
for specifi c sites along the pier.
Figure 1 illustrates the eight locations
where the off-the-shelf bench might
be replaced, over time, with an art-
ist bench. The estimated budget for
the artist benches is $12,000 each,
including artist fee, materials and
fabrication, installation, one year’s
maintenance.

The Assessment of Existing Condi-
tions found that all the nineteen
tables are owned and maintained by
merchants and shop owners. Their
locations serve the tenant’s use. How-
ever, there is a need for public picnic
tables.
Ten of the nineteen existing tables
are the square, as shown in fi gure 5,
with red seating and table surface.
The other ten are small round tables.
The style and character of the square
metal tables, now used by tenants,
with attached bench seating is recom-
mended above other options consid-
ered, fi gure 5.
The existing nineteen should be
replaced by merchants to match the
recommended blue color and nine-
teen new tables should be added (to
be owned and maintained by the
City) in the locations, fi gure 1.
picnic tables

Six to ten of the new tables should
have two or three benches to invite
wheel chair users to the table.

Five types of trash receptacles were
identifi ed by the Assessment of Exist-
ing Conditions. Of the seventy four
existing receptacles forty fi ve are the
recommended concrete unit, fi gure 6.
They were found to require minimal
maintenance and most durable of
the options available. Approximately
thirty new trash receptacles and
twenty new receptacles for recycled
materials should be placed as shown,

Receptacles for recyclable materials
need to be added to the Pier (twenty
total). They should be set next to the
trash receptacles. It is recommended
that the twenty new receptacles for
recyclable materials match the trash
receptacles with the addition of sig-
nage. Signage or other designations
on the trash receptacle, is recom-
mended to designate the specifi c use
of the receptacle and educate the
public on the importance of recy-
cling. The signage program is to be
coordinated with other City agencies.

decking
The tradition of the wood deck is
important to the distinct character of
the Pier. The top decking is primar-
ily two inch by twelve inch by twenty
foot long lumber. Portions of the pier
are covered with asphalt and metal
plates. The Design Guidelines require
wood decking for the whole pier. The
ongoing program for repairing the
wood deck is encouraged to con-
tinue so that all the metal plates and
asphalted areas will be removed and
replaced with wood decking.

Seat walls should be introduced along
the curb line, at the change in surface
elevation between the two decks. The
seat wall should be sixteen inches
tall by sixteen inches wide in various
lengths with two foot wide gaps at
approximately twenty foot intervals
to allow pedestrians to walk between,
see fi gure 1. The curb seating should
be constructed in recycled plastic
lumber/wood composite, in a me-
dium dark brown color, fi gure 8.
curbs
The Assessment of Existing Condi-
tions noted the use of heavy timbers
bolted to the pier deck to guide traf-
fi c, defi ne the fi re lane and cover the
transition between the different eleva-
tions between the Municipal Pier
from the pedestrian walkway. While
the curbs could be a tripping hazard
for pedestrians and visually unappeal-
ing they also are used for seating. The
fi re lane and pedestrian areas should
be defi ned by other means, i.e. bol-
lards – see section B. Spatial Com-
position and Circulation. A wooden
ramp should replace the asphalt infi ll
along the seam between the two piers
at the amusement facility entrances.

The Assessment of Existing Condi-
tions revealed that there were six
styles of lights on Santa Monica Pier.
The existing decorative arched poles
with the acorn light fi xtures are not
identifi ed as historic elements, but
contribute to the classic character of
the Pier. To create a cohesive im-
age, remove clutter and improve
this important visual element of the
Pier, three types of lights are recom-
mended. All lights must provide the
Pier staff the ability to control each
independently.
a. Decorative arched poles
with an acorn light fi xture, fi gure
9, are the primary character defi n-
ing light element of the Pier. Figure
1 illustrates the locations for ninety
seven new lights on the twelve foot
tall poles at thirty eight foot spacing
around the entire pier perimeter.
This light serves pedestrians and the
light fi xtures, see the Infrastructure
Upgrades volume of the Santa Monica
Pier Assessment. The original manu-
facturer of the existing lights has not
been determined. Replacement of a
matching pole and fi xture is feasible
and should be conducted carefully to
achieve the desired character. The rec-
ommended manufacturer is Sitelink
by Holophane.
b. Task lights, fi gure 10, should
be placed on the decorative arched
poles with three to fi ve spot lights
adjustable to illuminate specifi c fea-
tures, i.e. fi shing areas, boat launch,
performance areas, etc. Figure 1
recommends twenty nine locations.
c. Parking lot lights should be
replaced on the Newcomb Pier. The
lighting study of the Infrastructure
Upgrades recommends a twenty fi ve
foot tall pole, spaced eighty feet
on center along the pier perimeter
to provide maximum fl exibility to
program events on the Newcomb
deck. It is estimated that fi fteen poles
, located on fi gure 1, will provide suf-
fi cient illumination.
d. Necklace Lights currently
trim the edge of the pier. It was
recommended that the existing lights
be replaced with 750 energy effi cient
LED fi xtures, at fi ve feet on center,
vandal resistant marine grade with
cast housing, high impact lens and
gasketed cast lens guard as manufac-
tured by Cole Lighting. The esti-
mated cost exceeded the budget. See
the “Lighting Study” for alternatives
considered.

a. Bicycle racks are currently on
the Pier, but underutilized because of
their inconvenient locations. While
bicycle riding is not encouraged on
the Pier due to potential confl icts
with pedestrians, bikes are recognized
as a popular and sustainable mode of
transportation for locals. To encour-
age bicycle access to the Pier new
racks are recommended to replace the
existing fi ve with additional locations
for new bike racks are illustrated on
fi gure 1. The galvanized steel ‘Wave’
rack is recommended, fi gure 11, each
securing up to eight bikes, as manu-
factured by Bike Security Racks Co.
b. Security barriers, currently
sited, are large three foot by thee foot
wooden boxes now serve as bollards
to designate pedestrian areas and
vehicle areas. It is recommended
that the wooden boxes be removed
and replaced with 127 fi xed and 14
removable bollards. Model “San Fran-
cisco”, as manufactured by Urban
Accessories, fi gure 12, spaced eight
feet on-center and located as shown
on fi gure 1. These cast aluminum
furnishings should be powder coated
by the manufacturer in RAL color
system 5002 to match other furnish-
ings.

c. Gazebos have been part of
the Pier for over 15 years. The two
decorative gazebos are located on the
south rail of the Pier. They were de-
signed as performance areas, but are
currently underutilized. To encour-
age use, it is recommended a picnic
table is installed in each with a trash
receptacle nearby, and a system of
colorful fabric to animate the space
and discourage bird resting/dropping.
d. Smoking areas are currently
designated and maintained on the
Pier, fi gure 1.
The existing eight ash urns should be
replaced with eight surface mounted,
powdercoated (RAL color system
5002) aluminum ash urns, model
Grenadier as manufactured by Land-
scapeforms, fi gure 13.
The deck of the smoking areas should
be a solid surface to keep burning
items away from the wood Pier. In-
stead of the existing painted plywood,
it is recommended that a four foot by
eight foot deck of tightly set recycled
plastic lumber, one inch thick (or
less) by six inches wide, tongue and
groove, a medium dark brown color,
is installed directly on the wood Pier.
It is recommended that the envi-
ronmental graphics program direct
smokers to the designated areas.

e. Signage is an important
interface between the public and the
facilities of the Pier, as well as key to
the identity of the public places, the
merchants and shop owners. Signage
for individual tenants and merchants
are required to follow the Archi-
tectural Design Guidelines. These
recommendations are for the public
signs.
The Assessment of Existing Condi-
tions found recently installed signs
that provide consolidated informa-
tion about rules and regulations that
apply to the Pier. However other
signage on the Pier is inconsistent
in its character, quality, message and
placement.
A comprehensive environmental
graphics program should be devel-
oped to direct the replacement and
addition of signage on the Santa
Monica Pier. The graphics program
should be based on what and how
information is delivered. It should
include an interpretive program ad-
dressing cultural resources, natural
history, and functions of the pier. The
graphics program should coordinate
the character of interpretive signage
with that needed for directional and
regulatory information. The solution
should serve the Pier for fi fteen to
twenty years allowing an amount of
fl exibility with high quality materials
located to minimize clutter and focus
the message to the public.

The historic information displayed
near the police sub-station at the
west end of the Pier may be more
effectively displayed in a series of
panels along the railing, see fi gure 14.
Porcelain enamel is recommended for
interpretive signs. This technique and
use of materials is proven to hold up
well in the ocean climate and deliver
hi-quality graphic detail. The size
could vary within the system. Figure
1 identifi es up to eight potential loca-
tions for interpretive information.
Regulatory and directional compo-
nents may be aluminum to fi t within
the city’s signage program.
The existing information kiosk is a
helpful and attractive element, fi gure
15. Two additional kiosks are recom-
mended as located on fi gure 1.
Figure 15, Kiosk
Centennial anniversary signage
should be considered temporary, un-
less it can be included in the com-
prehensive environmental graphics
program. To assist in the effi cient and
effectiveness of a temporary program
the PRC should consider:
• Defi ning the identity of the
year long event;
• Building on the City’s envi-
ronmental signage program and
production capabilities;
• Utilizing materials that can be
recycled appropriately; and
• Engaging local sponsors.

The Santa Monica Looff Hippodrome building is listed National Historic Landmark, National
Register Number: 87000766.
Statement of SigniÄ cance (as of designation - February 27, 1987):
The principal historic element of the formerly extensive collection of amusement facilities at the
Santa Monica (Looff) Amusement Pier, this is a rare, intact example of an early shelter structure
built (1916) to house a carousel in an amusement park and the better preserved of the two such
structures that remain on the West Coast.
http://tps.cr.nps.gov/nhl/detail.cfm?ResourceId=1979&ResourceType=Building
carousel building roof
Historic photos of the Santa Monica
Looff Hippodrome (Carousel Build-
ing) show the elegant curved funnel
shaped roof rising to the central ‘onion
dome’ on a cupola. The perimeter
of the building has octagonal shaped
turrets at the corners of the building.
The northeast corner is wider and
taller than the other three. Each of the
turrets may have had a viewing deck
on the fl at roofs with a railing. Three
dome shaped features were equally
spaced along the roofl ine of each
façade.

Currently the metal funnel roof rises
out of a fl at roof with the wood cupola
sitting on top. Missing is the ‘onion
dome’ cupola roof, the railing around
the perimeter of the turret roofs and
the twelve dome shaped features.
The 1987 Design guidelines note that
the Carousel Building was “already
restored”, page 56. The graphics of
the design guidelines to not indicate
the reconstruction of the ‘onion dome’
or the dome shaped features around
the building perimeter.
Construction plans and specifi cations
for Roofi ng and Cupola Replacement
were prepared in 1997 by Pugh Scarpa
Kodama. They call for the removal of
the existing fl at roof portion to the
underlying curved sheathing. They do
not address the dome shaped features
around the building perimeter.
The City of Santa Monica’s Land-
marks Commission adheres to the
National Park Service—Secretary of
the Interior’s Standards for the Treat-
ment of Historic Properties. Decisions
and agreement concerning the Carou-
sel Building roof should be confi rmed
prior to further action.
Recommendations:
1. Confi rm specifi c elements to
be reconstructed to meet the Santa
Monica Landmark Commission’s
requirements and agreements to
maintain the National Historic
Landmark status of the building.
2. Update the Roofi ng and
Cupola Replacement Plans to
meet current building and safety
codes and the Secretary of the
Interior’s Standards (including, but
not limited to, the restoration of
the turrets, addition of perimeter
dome shaped features if necessary).

CITY OF SANTA MONICA
OAKS INITIATIVE NOTICE
NOTICE TO APPLICANTS, BIDDERS, PROPOSERS
AND OTHERS SEEKING DISCRETIONARY PERMITS, CONTRACTS,
OR OTHER BENEFITS FROM THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA
Santa Monica’s voters adopted a City Charter amendment commonly known as
the Oaks Initiative. The Oaks Initiative requires the City to provide this notice and
information about the Initiative’s requirements. You may obtain a full copy of the Initiative’s
text from the City Clerk.
This information is required by City Charter Article XXII—Taxpayer Protection. It
prohibits a public official from receiving, and a person or entity from conferring, specified
personal benefits or campaign advantages from a person or entity after the official votes,
or otherwise takes official action, to award a “public benefit” to that person or entity. The
prohibition applies within and outside of the geographical boundaries of Santa Monica.
All persons or entities applying or receiving public benefits from the City of Santa
Monica shall provide the names of trustees, directors, partners, and officers, and names
of persons with more than a 10% equity, participation or revenue interest. An exception
exists for persons serving in those capacities as volunteers, without compensation, for
organizations exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3), (4), or (6), of the
Internal Revenue Code. However, this exception does not apply if the organization is a
political committee or controls political committees. Examples of a “public benefit” include
public contracts to provide goods or services worth more than $25,000 or a land use
approval worth more than $25,000 over a 12-month period.
In order to facilitate compliance with the requirements of the Oaks Initiative, the City
compiles and maintains certain information. That information includes the name of any
person or persons who is seeking a “public benefit.” If the “public benefit” is sought by an
entity, rather than an individual person, the information includes the name of every person
who is: (a) trustee, (b) director, (c) partner, (d) officer, or has (e) more than a ten percent
interest in the entity. Therefore, if you are seeking a “public benefit” covered by the Oaks
Initiative, you must supply that information on the Oaks Initiative Disclosure Form. This
information must be updated and supplied every 12 months.
