Located on Catalina Island – approximately 22 miles off the coast of Southern California – the Cabrillo Mole Ferry Terminal serves as the primary entrance and exit point to the City of Avalon. Originally built in 1968, in 2018 the City of Avalon embarked upon Phase 1 of the Cabrillo Mole Rehabilitation Project. Phase 1 of the Cabrillo Mole Revitalization Project focused on the rehabilitation of the Cabrillo Mole Ferry Terminal’s substructure, including, but not limited to, removal and replacement of concrete deck and beams, replacement of steel grating and support beams, re-grouting handrail posts in concrete, rip rap void repair, and galvanic corrosion protection for piles. The Phase 1 project was closed out in 2021. However, due to cost overruns, delays associated with extreme weather conditions and limited resources due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the original scope of work was not completed. This Project (Cabrillo Mole Revitalization Project – Phase 1 – Remainder of Work and Phase 2 – Stage 0 – Wharf Infill) is comprised of two main components – the completion of Phase 1 scope of work and a new scope of work as part of a Phase 2 revitalization project that will infill areas previously used as ramps “Wharf Infill”. The remainder of Phase I scope of work includes, but is not limited to deck spall repair, deck soffit and beam spall repair, corrosion protection, replacement of steel grating, and replacement of miscellaneous steel beams and steel within the project area. The Wharf Infill scope of work includes, but is not limited to, reinforcement of concrete and installation of steel and steel grates within two locations on the Cabrillo Mole Ferry Terminal. These two components have two separate plan sets as noted in the contract documents. Bids must be submitted on City’s Bid Forms.
