C4. Efficiency and Safety Improvements with Fendering and Wharf Repairs on Wharf 1 (South Terminal Dredging Preparation)

The contract pertains to construction management services for the implementation of efficiency and safety enhancements, including fendering and wharf repairs, at Wharf 1 (South Terminal) at the Port of Hueneme. The project aims to prepare the wharf for Phase 2 dredging, which involves extending the channel depth by an additional five feet, from -35 feet to -40 feet MLLW, to accommodate heavier container vessels carrying more cargo. While the main shipping channel was deepened to -40 feet in 2020, a section of Wharf 1, specifically Berth 3 (now called Berth 2), remains at only 35 feet deep, limiting its cargo capacity. The scope includes not only dredging preparation but also upgrading safety features and infrastructure to support larger vessels and increased cargo loads. The solicitation was issued on March 12, 2025, with a response deadline of April 12, 2025. The project is valued between 5 million and 15 million dollars and is managed under the NAICS code 237990, which covers other heavy and civil engineering construction. The Port of Hueneme, operated by the Oxnard Harbor District in California, is overseeing the project, with Rodrigo Zaragoza serving as the primary contact. The project emphasizes improving port infrastructure to enhance operational efficiency and safety, facilitating the loading of heavier vessels and increasing cargo throughput at the port.
