Second Amendment to Contract with Pacific Dredge and Construction LLC for On-Call Furnishing and Operating Waterborne Construction Equipment.

The Second Amendment to contract HD-24-015 with Pacific Dredge and Construction LLC increases the contract capacity by 4,000,000 dollars, bringing the total contract value to 12,267,040 dollars. This amendment is necessary because field conditions for maintenance dredging proved more challenging than expected, leading to reduced production rates and increased costs and effort. The contract is an on-call agreement for furnishing and operating waterborne construction equipment to support the maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, and upgrade of marine infrastructure at the Port of Long Beach. Specific activities include maintenance dredging, fender replacement, the removal of navigation hazards, and general waterborne marine construction throughout the port, including the beneficial reuse of dredged material from the Pier G South Slip Fill. The performance period for this contract extends through February 9, 2027, with work performed portwide in Long Beach, California. Administrative oversight is provided by Cesar Larios, P.E., Director of Construction Management, and Jennifer Williams. The project is categorized as exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under sections 15301, 15302, and 15304, meaning no further environmental review is required.
