Projects under consideration • Replace/repair bulkhead along parking lot • Dredging • Replace/Upgrade of C and D Docks • Include upgrade of electric for E Dock • Resurface parking lot, driveway
Bulkhead – Sheeting • Old, deteriorating sheeting • 25+ years old • 2”x10” • Rotting?
Bulkhead Replace or Repair • Two experts recommend replacing entire bulkhead • Cost estimates range from $400/ LF and up • There are 450 linear feet of bulkhead ($180k) • Permitting could get extensive and expensive • Three experts recommend replacing only the sheeting • Replace all sheeting with 3x10 boards ($90k) • Piles, whalers (Cross timbers) and tie rods are in good shape • Permitting should be simple – do job gradually as a repair • MVYC expert (Ricky) recommends replacing only the bad sheeting • Do it as normal maintenance – no permitting • In-house project, a few hundred dollars at a time • We will investigate these options over the summer
Dredging • Need to establish “maintenance” level for future dredging • Need to start permit process now • 6 months to 1 year to obtain permit • Permit process will be more difficult from 2013 on • Economical disposal of spoils until end of 2012 • Don’t think VMRC will exercise jurisdiction over man-made boat basin • Army Corps of Engineers approval may be uncomplicated • Fairfax County permit process is unknown • Team has been organized to apply for permit
New Pedestals for C, D and E DocksProvide electrical and water service
C & D Docks + Electrical for E Dock Considerations: • Complete replacement of C&D a significant outlay ($186k) • Need longer fingers plus more piles to accommodate medium-sized boats on south side of C Dock • Main decking 6 years old • At a minimum finger piers need replacing on both docks • Need updated electrical and plumbing • Add pedestals for C Dock (8), D Dock (1), E Dock (4) • Install new Dominion Power 200 amp panel for C and D docks • Install electrical service from new panel to C and D Docks • Feed E Dock from house panel • Connect pedestals to electric and water sources • Could be a lengthy permit process
Parking Lot/Driveway resurfacing • Should be done, but only after heavy equipment work is finished on site • Dredging • Bulkhead work • Material delivery for C & D
Project Capital Cost Summary MinMax • Bulkhead • repair/replacement $ 0 - $ 90,000 $185,000 • Dredging 210,000 210,000 • C & D Dock repair/replace 71,000 186,000 • Parking lot resurfacing 75,000 75,000 • Totals $356,000 - $446,000 $656,000
Recommended sequence Depends on approaches, but in general: • Beging Dredging effort • Apply for dredging permit now • Permit process will be more difficult from 2013 on • There is a time constraint on economics of spoils disposal (end of 2012 calendar year) • Bulkhead repair/replace – investigate extent of problem • C & D Dock repair/replace, + electrical service for E Dock • Set panel and run new electric service for C, D and E Docks (Could be done at any time) • Resurface parking lot after all heavy equipment work for dredging, bulkhead and dock work is finished
