1. Executive Summary

Dinner Key Marina (Project) is located at 3400 Pan American Drive in Miami, Florida. The marina consists of nine (9) piers constructed of fixed concrete and timber docks with approximately 582 wet slips. Piers 1-7 are fixed docks that are generally in an easterly orientation from the western shoreline of . Piers 8 and 9 are along the bulkheads, at the southern third of the marina area. The marina in its current configuration was constructed in the late 1980’s, and it was extensively damaged by Hurricane Andrew in 1992. The marina was repaired/restored after that hurricane, and the marina was again damaged by Hurricane Wilma in 2005. The eastern end of Pier 3 was reconstructed along with the gates/locks and fiberglass grating (throughout the marina),

Hurricane Irma impacted the southeast Florida area on September 10, 2017. Approximately 32 boats sank in Dinner Key Marina, with several more damaged. The storm impacted the area as a Category 1 storm, and the measured storm surge elevation was 5.75 ft. (NAVD). Photos provided by marina management show the marina docks submerged with waves breaking over the bulkhead.

Moffatt and Nichol (M&N) was retained by the City of Miami (City) in 2018 to perform an assessment of the marina facility including the utilities and upland utility services. A team of engineers were on site for approximately two weeks assessing the various components and trades above and below water. In addition, an updated Specific Purpose Survey was performed that included detailed topographic data collection on the docks.

1.1 Structures

The assessment team assigned condition ratings to each of the piers evaluated using the ASCE No. 130 – “Waterfront Facilities Inspection and Assessment” Manual condition ratings which rate structures on a six- point scale from good to critical condition. Repairs or replacement are recommended for all structures determined to be in poor, serious, or critical condition. During the field investigation, the dock facilities were observed to be operational with approximately 60% of the slips occupied. Marina management has completed some immediate repairs and restoration to try and maintain some slips for marina customers. Some piers are closed off, including Pier 1, due to extensive damage from the hurricane.

The main piers are constructed of pre-stressed and cast-in-place concrete superstructure upon pre- stressed concrete piles. Timber finger piers extend from the main piers forming the various slips present in the marina. The current marina configuration has been in service for approximately 30 years. The field investigation revealed that the marina experienced a combination of hurricane related damage and age- related deterioration. Some of the pre-stressed elements exhibited deterioration and/or damage that due to their nature require replacement.

Recommended restoration of the marina structures includes repair/replacement of identified precast slabs and cast-in place concrete components along with timber finger docks, mooring/fender piles, and miscellaneous dock components. Dock components including cleats, access ladders, etc. should be furnished and installed per original conditions.

Based on recent meetings with the City and with FEMA, M&N provided Opinion of Probable Construction Costs (OPCC) to differentiate between rehabilitation for hurricane damage and non-hurricane (i.e. deterioration, defects, etc.).

1.2 Utilities

The majority of the electrical equipment was installed in 1994 after Hurricane Andrew. The marina electrical distribution system (disconnects, step down transformers, pedestals, and light bollards) including the utility transformers received extensive damage and complete salt water submersion during Hurricane Irma in 2017. The overall condition ranges between fair to critical.

Marina staff has indicated a replacement similar to the existing pedestal and power supply configuration is sufficient in design. It was also a preference for the detachable marina pedestal top (electrical components) design in future extreme weather conditions.

The existing marina electrical system does not comply with the latest electrical codes. Any upgrades or substantial modifications to the electrical system need to comply with current National Electric Code requirements, including Article 555 (Marinas and Boatyards) which now requires ground fault protection to minimize the risk of stray currents in the water.

Pedestals at the marina provide 120/240V service to various combinations of 30A, 50A, and 100A circuit breaker/receptacles located in the pedestals. Original power pedestals included connections for electric, water, T.V., telephone, and energy consumption meters. The extensive storm damage has left the pedestals in fair to critical condition.

Lighting at the marina is provided by a variety of sources including poles on the landside, light bollards, flood lights at floating dock adjacent to Pier 7, lights at marine pedestals, and transformer units with lights. The variation results in a well-lit marina for security purposes.

Telephone and Coaxial Cable was installed throughout the marina and distributed to pedestals. In general, the system appears to have been abandoned. Many patrons use satellite to receive their cable/internet service and wireless internet. There are also 1 to 3 poles on each pier for a camera and Wi- Fi system that was never installed. With the exception of a pole missing from the foundation at the end of Pier 5, these poles appear to be in satisfactory condition.

Water is supplied to the slips by hose bibbs in the pedestals. Approximately 10% of the faucets were checked and appear to be functioning correctly. A significant number of hoses are connected to the hose bibs which is further evidence of functionality. The existing piping routed under the piers has some points of failure that include leaking and failed supports. The system appears to be in satisfactory condition.

Fire main and hose reels stations are located on docks throughout marinas in cabinets with hydrants located on land adjacent to the docks. These stations also include fire extinguishers, pull stations, and horn/strobe device. In general, these were found to be in poor to critical condition. Several components and cabinets were missing or severely damaged with many service lines showing significant oxidation and debris from salt water submersion. The marina is currently under fire watch as the fire alarm system is non-functional.

Vacuum sewage is provided along the piers approximately every four slips alternating sides. In general, the vacuum sewage lines and suction port hydrants were observed to be in good condition except for

isolated hurricane impact areas. The sewage pump-out building on shore was flooded, and the system will need to be replaced with modern, peristaltic pump systems. The existing building will have the equipment removed, and the building can be demolished or re-purposed.

Mitigation In accordance with guidelines from FEMA, mitigation opportunities should be evaluated including the following that would prevent or limit damage from future coastal storm events:

• Removable Power Pedestals • Finger Docks constructed with concrete piles and pre-fabricated aluminium decks • Improved coastal protection from the Spoil Islands • Replacement of the marina with Floating Docks

Due to the OPCC for the marina restoration along with the age of the existing concrete docks, the City should consider the long-term option of replacing the facility with appropriately designed and specified floating docks.

2.1. Hurricane Irma – 2017

Hurricane Irma was the strongest observed hurricane in the Atlantic in terms of maximum sustained winds, and it was the most intense hurricane to strike the continental U.S. since Hurricane Katrina in 2005. After causing extensive damage throughout the Caribbean as a Category 5 storm, the hurricane impacted the Florida Keys at Cudjoe Key on September 10, 2017. The hurricane again made landfall in southwest Florida in the Naples area. The USGS reported a peak storm surge elevation of 5.75 feet (NAVD) at Dinner Key at 9:51pm on September 10, 2017. Marina staff provided the below photos (Figure 2-8 Dinner Key Marina during Hurricane Irma September 10, 2017 and Figure 2-9 Dinner Key Marina during Hurricane Irma September 10, 2017) of the fixed docks submerged along with waves from the bay overtopping the outer spoil islands.

2.2. Scope of Work

Moffatt & Nichol (M&N) was retained by the City of Miami to assess Dinner Key Marina for damage after Hurricane Irma. The scope of work approved by the City was dated May 15, 2018, and a Purchase Order was issued by the City on June 4, 2018. The below paragraphs summarize the scope of work:

Data Collection: available construction drawings and recent upgrades for the marina were reviewed to prepare for the assessment. M&N also met with marina management to review specific concerns relative to maintenance and to storm damage.

Specific Purpose Survey: M&N retained a subconsultant to produce a Specific Purpose Survey of the marina, which can be referenced in Appendix B. The survey included topographic data required for engineering design of the marina restoration. The Specific Purpose Survey was referenced to available boundary surveys provided by the City for the Project. A survey map was produced that was

9

Hurricane Irma Assessment – Dinner Key Marina | City of Miami

referenced to the Project vertical and horizontal coordinate system, and the map was signed/sealed by a Florida Professional Surveyor/Mapper.

Utility Location: M&N retained a subconsultant to locate the marina utilities extending from the bulkhead to the upland service connections. Utilities to be evaluated included sanitary sewer, electrical, domestic water, and fire protection. The investigation was completed in accordance with the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) 318-02 Standard Guideline for the Collection and Depiction for Existing Subsurface Utility Data. The investigation included Quality Level “D” data gathering. The results of the utility location were compiled on the survey map and signed/sealed by a Florida Professional Surveyor/Mapper. The map was referenced to the Project vertical and horizontal coordinate system.

Structural Assessment: M&N evaluated the existing fixed docks (Piers 1-9) and bulkheads along the waterfront of the marina. The assessment was a visual evaluation from topside. Components evaluated included the timber finger piers and the general condition of mooring piles. Representative measurements were obtained to confirm as-built dimensions in the construction drawings, and the utility distribution (utility chase configuration, arrangement of utilities, and supports) was evaluated in representative areas of the docks. Representative areas of the grating were also evaluated, and areas of missing (or damaged) grating noted.

Marina Electrical Assessment: M&N evaluated representative conditions of the marina electrical system to include the shore power pedestals and distribution on the docks sufficient for the reporting phase. Service connections to the shore were also evaluated along with upland distribution and service appurtenances. Communication and security systems were evaluated.

Fire Protection Assessment: M&N evaluated the existing fire protection system at the marina. The evaluation included the Fire Department Connections (FDC), piping on the docks, fire alarms, double detector check valves (as applicable) and hose cabinets. M&N will also met with the City Fire Department to review fire protection code upgrades that may be required for any redevelopment of the marina.

Domestic Water Assessment: M&N evaluated the existing domestic water service to the marina including the piping network. Water service on the pier was provided to the wet slips via the double- service shore power pedestals.

Sewage Pump-Out Assessment: M&N evaluated the existing sewage pump-out system. The marina was recently upgraded with new collection piping and appurtenances based on design plans from other consultants dated March 2017. The piping and shore connections were also evaluated along with upland service appurtenances.

Piling Underwater Assessment: M&N retained a subconsultant to perform an underwater assessment of the concrete piles supporting the concrete main piers. The mooring piles and timber finger docks were not evaluated underwater. The assessment was performed by a 4-person team utilizing commercial SCUBA equipment. The piles were evaluated from the tidal zone to the mudline, with 100% Level I swim-by evaluation. A Level II evaluation of approximately 10% of the piles was also performed. Portions of marine growth were removed along 1’ bands around the piles, generally at two locations: tidal zone and near the mudline. Representative underwater photographs were obtained to document the conditions of the piling.

Hurricane Irma Assessment – Dinner Key Marina | City of Miami

Assessment Report: M&N compiled the field notes and prepared a matrix in spreadsheet format with condition assessments of the marina components evaluated and recommendations for repair or replacement.

Opinion of Probable Construction Cost Estimates: Based on the assessment and recommendations completed, M&N compiled quantity estimates of major line items to prepare a probable opinion of construction cost estimate for the Project. Since no level of design was completed under this scope of services, the cost estimates provided are order of magnitude based on comparative marina structural and utility project unit costs.

Components of the marina that were not assessed: • ADA and other code compliance requirements • Environmental – marine resources or Phase I/II site assessments, including sampling/testing on the uplands or in-water • Dingy docks • Bulkhead - below water • Water Depths – bathymetry or maintenance dredging requirements • Coastal Engineering – specific wind/wave, tidal hydraulics or sediment transport studies • Upland Facilities – with the exception of visible utility services

2.3. Reference Documents

The scope of work included a specific purpose survey to obtain updated topography of the existing marina with adjacent shoreline and utility services. According to the City, the last surveys completed for the marina were post Hurricane Wilma in 2006 timeframe. The updated survey for this project provided detailed AutoCAD base files for the design of repairs or redevelopment. The City provided design drawings as follows: • Marina utilities - dated 1984 from the original marina construction drawings. No structural drawings were available of the existing marina. • Representative drawings and surveys for the recently completed Dockmaster Building – 2015 • Representative drawings and surveys for the recently completed Regatta Park • Sewage Pump Out Plans – 2015 • Dinner Key Pier 3 Repairs – 2006 • Dinner Key Maintenance Dredging - 2008

The City performed a search in the microfiche system at the City Building Department and was not able to obtain any structural drawings for the marina. The earliest drawings available in the microfiche system were the 2006 repair plans. In addition, there were no previous inspection reports provided by the City.

2.4. Assessment Methodology

A team of engineers conducted the on-site structural assessment including above water visual and tactile examination of the concrete dock structures, timber finger docks, timber fender/mooring piles, and concrete piles. The assessment particularly looked for signs of deterioration and damage. An underwater investigation was completed to evaluate the condition of the timber piles. Timber finger dock, fender and

11

Hurricane Irma Assessment – Dinner Key Marina | City of Miami

mooring piles were not evaluated below water. Dock appurtenances including cleats and ladders were visually assessed. Tactile investigation methods used included chipping hammers to sound the surfaces of various elements to check for delamination of previous repairs and concrete surfaces. The engineering team also conducted several meetings with marina management to document maintenance/operation and other concerns relative to the marina facility.

The utility assessment included visual evaluations of electrical components (disconnects, transformers, etc), dock pedestals, lighting, sewage pump-out, exposed electrical conduits, potable water, fire water and extinguishers for the purpose of identifying items in need of maintenance repair or replacement.

The structural components were rated based on the observed conditions and the severity of the defects noted in the field. The condition ratings were assigned based on the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Waterfront Facilities Inspection and Assessment Manual No. 130. see Table 2-1 ASCE Condition Assessment Ratings for the condition ratings. Additional condition rating descriptions have been added to the ASCE condition ratings in Appendix F – ASCE Manual and Reports on Engineering Practice - “Waterfront Facilities Inspection and Assessment” for assessment of the electrical and utility components. Photographs of typical deficiencies observed are included in Appendix A - Photos.

3. T-Piers 1-7

3.1. Facility Description

The Dinner Key Marina consists of seven concrete T-piers and two bulkhead piers. The T-piers are numbered from 1-7 with Pier 1 the northernmost pier and Pier 7 the southernmost. Pier 4 also includes the bulkhead from Pier 8 to the T-pier end. Pier 8 is a bulkhead between Pier 4 and Pier 7. Pier 9 is a bulkhead from Pier 7 to the Seminole boat ramp at the southwest corner of the Project site. The piers are comprised of concrete main piers with concrete T-heads and timber finger piers. However, Piers 1, 5, 6, and 7 additionally have concrete finger piers near their respective access areas. Representative photographs are provided in Appendix A.

There is a square canopy structure at the head of Piers 1 - 7 that includes lighting and an entrance gate with card read/key code access.

The dock piers are composed of 12-ft wide precast, prestressed concrete deck slabs that are approximately 40 feet long and incorporate a center utility “chase.” The slab systems are supported by cast-in-place concrete pile caps along with two 14-in square prestressed concrete piles. Finger docks, one dock per two slips, are generally timber structures with either a 6-pile or 8-pile configuration with cross- bracing, pile caps, stringers and 2x6 decking. The finger piers independently supported and are separate structures from the concrete fixed docks. The finger piers have been repaired and replaced over the years as part of the marina’s ongoing maintenance program, so there are variations in configurations. The finger piers generally extend half the distance of the slip, and the end of the slip is defined by a mooring pile. Mooring piles also divide the slips (in between finger piers). The mooring piles were generally Greenheart piles, and approximately 18 in. diameter. The slips also have Greenheart “fender” piles to protect the docks and boats.

Water and sewer marina utilities service the piers from connections at the bulkhead. Piers are serviced primarily by 3-in PVC potable water mains, 3-in PVC vacuum sanitary sewer lines, and 6-in galvanized steel fire water mains. Along Piers 1-7 the utility lines in order from north to south are potable water, vacuum sanitary sewer, and fire water. The utilities are supported in utility chases within the precast concrete deck slabs. Fire main risers and pedestal utilities pass through the precast deck slabs, turn 90 degrees, and pass vertically through the concrete deck slab. Piers 8 and 9 are not currently serviced by the vacuum sewer. Individual potable water service lines are composed of ¾-in flexible hose branching off the water main. Vacuum sanitary sewer service lines are composed of 2-in PVC pipes. Fire water service lines and risers are composed of 2-1/2-in galvanized steel pipe. Vacuum sanitary sewer service lines branch off the sewer main, pass through and under the precast concrete deck slab, and then rise vertically to the sewer hydrant.

Four utility (FP&L) electrical transformers are utilized to provide service to the marina. The transformers provide power (480V/277V) to numerous adjacent outdoor disconnects which in turn continue power out to the adjacent piers. Located on the piers are numerous 25kva transformers stepping the power down from 480V to 240/120V at the power pedestals.

Original power pedestals included connections for electric, water, T.V., telephone, and energy consumption meters.

3.2. Observations

3.2.1. Structural

Overall, the structural components of the marina show a combination of age related deterioration and storm impact damage. In general, Piers 1 through 7 are in poor to serious condition with the majority of the defects limited to the superstructure. Piers 1, 2, and 5 exhibited the most damage from the hurricane. Piers 4 through 7 exhibited the most pile cap deterioration. The piles are in overall satisfactory condition with only a few piles on Pier 3 and Pier 5 exhibiting moderate defects. Refer to The Dinner Key Piling Assessment in Appendix C for detailed piling substructure observations.

Table 3-2 Piers 1 – 4 Condition Assessment and Table 3-3 Piers 5-7 Condition Assessment provide a breakdown of concrete pier structure condition ratings. Table 3-4 Overall Structural Condition Assessment provides an overall summary of structural element condition among the piers. Table 3-5 Schedule of Finger Pier Damage provides a breakdown of the timber finger piers including piers requiring replacement and piers that have salvageable piles but require superstructure replacement. Timber finger piers with structural pile damage were deemed to need replacement. Finger piers where pile integrity remained, but exhibited storm damage, were deemed repairable. All finger piers exhibited cross-bracing deficiencies. Table 3-6 Schedule of Replacement Components provides a breakdown of non-concrete elements that were damaged including timber mooring and fender piles, mooring cleats, deck grating, and swim ladders.

3.2.2. Water & Sewer Utilities

The water and sewer utilities observed included the fire water system, potable water system, and vacuum sanitary sewer system. Utility mains and service lines were randomly spot checked along the length of the piers. The utilities under the main walkways ranged in condition from good to poor. A summary of condition ratings is included as Table 3-8 Piers 1 – 9 Condition Assessment

3.2.2.1. Fire Water

Fire mains are original from circa 1986 according to marina management, except for a new section of 4- in pipe beginning about 10-ft west of Fire Cabinet B on Pier 9. Based on information from marina management, the fire mains were pressurized from the upland mains, and generally capped-off at the piers with the more extensive damage. No pressure tests were performed so the functionality of the fire main(s) were not evaluated. The marina is currently under a “fire watch” as coordinated with the City Fire Department.

The fire mains are generally in fair to poor condition except for a few localized areas of severe corrosion. Piers 1 and 2 showed greater wear than Piers 3-7 due to their exposure level. The fire main bearing pads showed extreme corrosion. Approximately 70% of the pipe clamps and pipe straps were in poor to critical condition. At Pier 1, there were two localized areas of the fire main in poor to critical condition. The first area was entering the bulkhead and the second area was just after the pipe makes a 90 degree turn to the East as it passes through the west end of the prestressed concrete slab.

Fire risers were generally observed to be in fair to poor condition. Damage observed included corrosion damage to threaded pipe ends and to service lines passing from the fire main to the riser. One riser appeared to be broken by hurricane impacts. Approximately 30% of fire service lines require replacement. Approximately 70% of the pipe clamps and straps require replacement. All fire main bearing pads require replacement.

The service lines and risers on Fire Cabinet H on Pier 1 and L on Pier 3 have been replaced recently. The 2.5-in. risers extend into fire hose cabinets that were extensively damaged by the hurricane. These cabinets included the standard 2.5-in. fire department connection along with a 1.5-in. reducer with hose and nozzle. Many cabinets exhibited hose damage and missing fire extinguishers.

Each dock is serviced by a backflow preventer along with a Fire Department Connection (FDC). During the assessment, marina management had a fire sprinkler contractor checking residual pressure in the backflow preventers, and residual pressure was reported at 60 psi. Three (3) of the FDC’s were heavily

20

Hurricane Irma Assessment – Dinner Key Marina | City of Miami

corroded and one as observed to be leaking. The backflow preventers appear to be more recent in construction, likely in the last 10 years. The fire hydrants were surveyed and generally appear operational. No dedicated fire line striping was observed along the roadway at each pier, although the striping may have faded.

The fire alarm system is not functioning at the marina according to marina management. The system consisted of pull boxes stationed at approximately every other fire cabinet. The pull boxes connected to horns and strobe lights. Since the dockmaster facility was replaced, the connection to the building was apparently not replaced.

3.2.2.2. Potable Water

The potable water system appears to be original and is generally in fair to poor condition. Approximately 10% of services were tested randomly along the piers and were working properly. No damage was observed along the water main PVC piping; however, several tee couplings were leaking. Rubber expansion joints were observed to be in critical condition with severe weather cracking evident and some slow leaks. Flexible hose service lines were generally observed to be in fair to poor condition. Chafing from rubbing against concrete and weather abrasion was widely evident. Several lines were observed to have pinhole leaks. Pedestal spigots were primarily observed to be in poor shape. The water line was most affected at the ends of Piers 2, 3, and 4. Lines were cut and capped to allow service to the rest of the pier. Stainless steel straps were generally observed to be in fair condition.

3.2.2.3. Vacuum Sanitary Sewage

The vacuum sanitary sewer system on the docks was replaced circa 2015 and appears to be in good condition except for several components that were impacted by the hurricane. The system is currently offline and could not be checked for operability. Eight (8) sewer connections were destroyed along Piers 2 – 6 and need replacement (see Table 3-7 Sewer hydrant damage locations). There is also a break in the sewer main that needs to be fixed at the access area of Pier 7. Approximately 30% of the stainless-steel straps are missing. Vacuum sewer service was not available prior to the hurricane along Piers 8 and 9.

Table 3-7 Sewer hydrant damage locations Sewer Hydrant Damage Locations Pier Location 2 2L 3 3S and 3T 4 4W and 4V 5 5U and 5V 6 6A

The vacuum sewer pump system is in a dedicated building, and it is an original system. The system pumps and some equipment have been upgraded over the years. The system and its components are below grade and were flooded during the hurricane. The system is not salvageable and should be replaced. The building was not evaluated, however based on initial observations the building does not likely meet current codes relative to ventilation, fire protection, and access requirements.

5. Conclusions and Recommendations

5.1. Condition Assessment of Marina Facility

Significant areas of the piers were severely damaged by Hurricane Irma and sections of piers remain closed-off. Portions of the marina are occupied by boaters, and the availability of utilities is limited. Many of the fixed docks require replacement and/or concrete structural repairs, and the docks are approaching 40 years old. Industry guidance for the service life of marine structures is 25 years with maintenance, and Miami has very high corrosion rates due to the salinity of the water along with tropical temperatures. Observations of cracks and spalls, in addition to the damaged pier sections, indicates the dock structures are reaching the end of their service life. Consideration of replacement of the marina docks with a modern, engineered floating dock system should be considered by the City and discussed in more detail under Section 5.5.

The piers can be repaired and replaced to restore the facility to the greatest extent possible to pre-storm conditions. Based on recent meetings with the City, the City will evaluate options for funding the repair/replacement from a few sources, including but not limited to, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), insurance, and other available grants. FEMA, along with insurance companies, will likely only reimburse the City for components that were damaged and/or flooded during the storm. The assessment was conducted to identify structural and utility components that were damaged/flooded during the storm, and the opinion of probable construction costs (OPCC’s) were separated between damaged/flooded and deteriorated components. The following sections outline the specific trades and summarize the recommended repairs and/or replacement to the various marina components.

5.1.1 Structural

The concrete fixed docks require repair and/or replacement to address damage and deterioration. Approximately nine (9) concrete piles will require jacketing above/below water to address deterioration. Several pile caps will require demolition and reconstruction with cast-in-place caps. Once these caps are demolished, the precast slabs will also need to be replaced. Many concrete caps also require marine structural repairs. These repairs generally consist of the removal of the unsound concrete to expose the corroded reinforcing steel. The reinforcing will need to be treated and then forming is required to restore the cap to the original dimensions with either cementitious or epoxy grout. Concrete repair procedures are outlined in Appendix D – Standard Concrete Repair Procedure. Precast slabs will need to be replaced as indicated. These slabs will need to be removed and replaced with two separate prestressed, precast slabs to account for the 40-ft. span. A utility chase will be configured with Unistrut systems in a similar configuration to the system in place for the area of Pier 3 replaced in 2006. Due to the number of slabs that need to be replaced, the design of precast, prestressed slabs can be completed in an economical manner as opposed to complete replacement in kind with the 12-ft. wide slabs with the utility chase. Driving additional piles to reduce the spans to approximately 20 feet which would facilitate conventional precast slabs but will not be economical for the considerable number of slabs that require replacement. In addition to the precast slabs, the damaged or missing fiberglass grating needs to be replaced. The grating will need to be replaced “in-kind” with pultruded fiberglass grating that can accommodate the utility chase dimensions and span. Minor to moderate concrete spalls and cracks were observed in the slabs and in the secondary pours (above the pile caps). This deterioration will need to be repaired, and repair procedures for spalls and cracks are included in Appendix D. Procedures for the epoxy injection as well as resin repair methods are outlined.

27

Hurricane Irma Assessment – Dinner Key Marina | City of Miami

The timber finger docks require replacement in-kind as indicated with either the 6-pile or 8-pile configuration. Piles will be southern yellow pine piling treated with CCA. The piles will need to be wrapped to comply with environmental permit requirements. The narrow finger docks will require timber cross bracing along with pile caps, stringers and 2x6 decking. The salvageable finger piers can be reconstructed with the required timber components to restore function.

Timber mooring piles will be replaced with timber CCA piling, likely with 18-in. diameter piling, to replace the Greenheart piling. There are limited sources of Greenheart piling from approved forests in South America, and the lead time can be more than 6 months. In addition, the CCA piles appear to be more resistant to the marine boring organisms in the marina as compared to the Greenheart piling. Similarly, timber fender piling require replacement as needed and will be replaced with CCA piling. All CCA piling will require wrapping.

Dock accessories including dock boxes, cleats and swim ladders will require replacement to restore the pre-storm conditions along the docks.

5.1.2 Marina Electrical

The electrical system was submerged for a period during Hurricane Irma, and the electrical system was also submerged during Hurricane Wilma in 2005. Most of the electrical equipment is 1993-1994 vintage, replaced after Hurricane Andrew that impacted the marina in 1992 according to the local marina pedestal vendor. The marina electrical system will require replacement as the existing components are generally not salvageable. New shore power pedestals, sized for the wet slip size, are to be installed along with appropriate wiring distribution along the docks. Transformers will need to be specified to account for the step-down required from the 480V distribution down the docks and the length of the docks. Electrical code upgrades will also be required to address ground fault detection that is now required in marinas. Pedestals and distribution can be installed in the original locations to avoid the requirement for additional coring through the concrete slabs. Replacement concrete slabs will be coordinated for marina utilities with appropriate sleeves cast into the decks to avoid coring/drilling after placement.

The upland electrical service will also require replacement and associated code upgrades to comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC) that is referenced in the current Florida Building Code (FBC). NEC requires switch gear and services to be above the floodplain. The upland area is currently in a FEMA VE flood zone with a base flood elevation of 15 feet NGVD (refer to map in Section 5.5). The finished floor elevation of the new dockmaster building complies with this flood elevation requirements, and the structure is on columns (stilts). Installing the electrical service to the marina on towers that are 10-ft. above grade or higher is not feasible, and therefore floodproof NEMA enclosures will be required. The required loads for each pier should be reviewed relative to the existing FP&L transformers.

The lighting requirements for the piers need to be evaluated, as the shore power pedestals will have limited lights for general dock lighting. The City may have a minimum foot-candle requirement that will need to be confirmed. Additional lighting, mounted on new poles, will likely be required along the docks. Lighting on the upland areas was not evaluated as part of this scope of work.

The shore power pedestals formerly had CATV and telephone services, and the communication system will need to be replaced with modern systems that would include phone, CATV and internet. Similar to

28

Hurricane Irma Assessment – Dinner Key Marina | City of Miami

the marina electrical system, all service panels, etc. will need to be accommodated in appropriate NEMA enclosures.

The security system was also damaged during the storm, and a system with closed-circuit security cameras along with dock access controls will need to be furnished and installed.

5.1.3 Potable Water System

Portions of the existing potable water system are still functional however, breakages and leaks were observed throughout the marina. Debris was observed trapped in the utility chase areas, and many of the hose connections to the shore power pedestals were damaged and not functioning. Repairing the 30-40- year-old PVC piping and flexible hose systems is not economical. Replacement of the potable water system is required and will need to be brought up to the current Florida Building Code. Backflow preventers on the landside can likely be reused, and the shore power pedestals will need to be equipped with RPZ devices. Replacement of the plumbing system will be with Schedule 80 PVC along with flexible hose connections to the shore pedestals.

5.1.4 Fire Protection

The fire protection system will require replacement. Extensive damage and corrosion were observed throughout the distribution system on the docks, with many fire cabinets and piping damaged from the storm. A meeting was conducted with the City Fire Department to review the requirements for the marina. The requirements for fire protection systems are generally outlined in the NFPA 303 document, Fire Protection Standards for Marinas and Boatyards. However, the City Fire Department has the following Project-specific requirements: • Piping on docks shall be 6-inch minimum diameter. Piping shall be galvanized steel pipe with appropriate appurtenances for fire flow and associated pressures. Hydraulics at the remote two standpipes will need to be confirmed. • Standpipe – Class III standpipe system will be designed, similar to the existing system • Hose Cabinets - Fire Dept. does not require 1.5-inch hose in fire cabinets; only provide standpipe with standard 2.5-in. connection for the Fire Dept. • Cabinets - Reviewed cabinet with fire extinguisher technical data; Fire Dept. may want a light on top to help locate standpipes at night • Cabinet Spacing - Fire Dept. will require 75-ft. spacing of standpipes • Alarm Poles – required with strobe and horns. Spaced at every other cabinet (approximately 150 feet along the docks). Alarm will signal the panel which pier has the alarm to facilitate response by the Fire Dept. • FDC Pressure - Fire Dept. will pressurize FDC to 150psi for flow at two cabinets of 250 gpm each; total 500 gpm. • Alarm Panel – discussed having alarm panel on second floor of existing dockmaster building (above floodplain). Panel will connect to phone system for notification of Fire Dept., but the panel will be separate of the building’s fire alarm system. • Dock Alarm Panel - each dock to have read-only alarm panel, tied with marina master fire alarm panel in building. • Security Gates - Upon activation of fire alarm; magnetic lock on security gates to disengage. • Dock security gates to have fire dept. lock boxes. • FDC – require appropriate signage, including rated pressure. Some FDC’s may have to be replaced.

29

Hurricane Irma Assessment – Dinner Key Marina | City of Miami

• Fire Lane – striping for 40-ft. long by 15-ft. wide fire lane at each dock is acceptable

The marina should continue the fire watch, and marina management to move forward with pressure testing of fire system on docks to confirm function and limits of operation (as applicable). The leaking and corroded FDC’s on the upland need to be replaced, and the backflow preventers were installed within the last 5 years and can likely be reused with the upgraded fire mains on the docks.

5.1.5 Sewage Pump Out

The damaged sections of the sewage pump out require replacement, and the majority of the piping can be reused since it was installed in 2016 timeframe to maintain “in-slip” pump-out for the marina. The existing pump house was flooded during the storm, and the existing remnants of the vacuum pump system can be removed from the building. Marina management has discussed repurposing the building for storage or other uses, and this reuse is beyond the scope of this assessment. New vacuum sewage pumps are required, and three stations are proposed with peristaltic pumps on the landside to service three piers with each station. The pumps will provide flows of 40-50 gpm with the vacuum pressures sized for the length and sizes of the existing piping system on the docks. The pump stations will be inter- connected to provide redundancy, and each station will pump the collected sewage to the existing sanitary sewer manhole on site. This reconfiguration will require new underground piping on the landside with connections at the bulkheads.

5.2. Marina Restoration Recommendations and Costs

Approximate quantities and repair/restoration methodologies were compiled for the major line items for this type of marine construction. Since 2017, commodity prices have been rising and have been volatile just in the past few months with tariffs for steel and other materials. The construction industry in has seen high activity, and there are areas of the state still recovering from the effects of Hurricane Irma. Due to these issues affecting costs, M&N met with several contractors and vendors to obtain as updated information on unit costs as possible. M&N has also recently designed and managed construction for marine construction projects in the southeast and relied on unit costs from those projects. In addition, there was no as-built information available for the structural components, and limited information available for the utilities. The cost estimates will need to be refined during the design development phases for the Project.

Based on recent meetings with the City and FEMA, the cost estimates are separated between “non- hurricane related” and “hurricane-related” categories. FEMA will only reimburse the City for elements damaged in the storm. FEMA will reimburse for upgrades required for components to meet current FBC requirements.

The below figure includes a preliminary schedule for the design, permitting, procurement and construction for the rehabilitation project. Environmental permitting is generally straight forward for “replacement-in-kind” projects, however due to the workload and limited staffing the process can require over 6 months of processing through local, state and federal agencies with jurisdiction. Field assessments and surveys completed as part of this scope of this Project can be utilized to immediately commence the engineering design work. The permitting process can be optimized for the schedule to complete the engineering and bid documents.

5.3. Inspection Cycle Times

Depending on the schedule for the rehabilitation, portions of the Project will remain in service. Until the structural components are rehabilitated/replaced, the concrete structural elements should be re- inspected at the following intervals based on the assigned ratings: • Satisfactory – reinspection; not to exceed 5 years • Fair/Poor – reinspection; not to exceed 4 years • Serious – reinspection; not to exceed 2 years • Critical – structures taken out of service or reinspection not to exceed 1 year

5.4. Mitigation Options

Meetings were held with the City and with FEMA, and some rehabilitation options may qualify for funding from FEMA due to Hurricane Irma for mitigation. The marina is in a high velocity zone with some exposure to Biscayne Bay. The shoreside facilities are in a VE 15 zone based on the latest FEMA flood map as indicated in Figure 5-1 – FEMA Flood Zone. The marina behind the spoil islands is in a VE 16 zone. The marina has been damaged in multiple hurricanes since Hurricane Andrew impacted the marina in 1992, and Hurricane Irma exhibited Category 1 conditions in accordance with the Saffir-Simpson scale. The marina will continue to be impacted by hurricanes in southeast Florida, and resiliency is a concern (although resiliency consulting was beyond the scope of this assessment). FEMA encourages “mitigation” options for specific projects where improvements and/or upgrades can be incorporated in projects to

31

Hurricane Irma Assessment – Dinner Key Marina | City of Miami

minimize or prevent the level of damage experienced in natural disasters. A guidance document is published by FEMA, and this is available at this website: https://www.fema.gov/media-library-data/20130726-1904-25045- 0186/fema_mitigation_ideas_final508.pdf

Figure 5-1 – FEMA Flood Zone

In discussions with the City – the following recommendations should be considered for mitigation:

Removable Pedestals – marinas on fixed docks have been modernized with removable pedestals. Prior to the coastal storm event, these pedestals can be removed and stored at a location above the predicted storm surge. Due to the large size of the marina, this effort may not be practical given other hurricane preparation requirements. In addition, the pedestals require transformers to step down the voltage, and the transformers are not removable.

Finger Docks – the finger docks can be upgraded with concrete piles and pre-fabricated aluminium decks. This structural improvement will facilitate construction as it requires less labor, and this configuration is

32

Hurricane Irma Assessment – Dinner Key Marina | City of Miami

more resistant to coastal storm loads than the current timber configuration. The concrete piles will also provide a longer service life and reduce long term maintenance costs.

Overall, approximately 6,300 SF of timber docks need to be replaced with an additional 5,300 SF of finger docks requiring replacement of timber framing and decking from the hurricane impacts. The remaining approximately 12,000 SF of finger docks require at a minimum, replacement of the timber framing and decking.

Spoil Islands Improvements – photos provided by marina management during Hurricane Irma indicate the outer “spoil islands” were overtopped by the storm surge. In addition, the majority of the hurricane damage was observed on the northern piers, Piers 1 and 2, that do not have any coastal protection from Biscayne Bay. A coastal engineering study could be performed that would provide alternatives for improving the marina basin coastal protection. Alternatives could include the construction of additional spoil islands or raising the grade of some of the existing islands with appropriate coastal armouring. The armouring could include “living shoreline” components. Below is a photo of the artificial islands constructed to protect the Fort Pierce City Marina in Florida that was destroyed by Hurricane Frances in 2004.

Figure 5-2 - Artificial Islands protecting Ft. Pierce City Marina (courtesy of FortPierceMagazine.com)

Replacement of Marina with Floating Docks - the existing dock structures are now 40 years old and will require ongoing maintenance and repairs if the dock components are repaired/restored as part of this Project. The repair approach to restore the marina to pre-storm conditions require extensive replacement of the utilities which is a significant part of the overall project cost. For mitigation of future coastal storm events, floating dock systems can withstand Category 3 hurricane conditions if appropriately designed and specified. Floating docks are also preferred by most marina customers. M&N coordinated with a floating dock vendor to provide an initial budget for replacement of the marina with floating concrete docks. Information from this vendor is incorporated into Appendix G, and the budget for complete replacement of the marina is between $28.5M – $31.4M.

Vertical and Overhead Spall Repair by Hand Application (ACI RAP-6) 3 Introduction One of the most common application methods for repairing concrete is by hand troweling mortars. This method can be used to repair spalled or deteriorated concrete (Fig. 1) or to resurface vertical, overhead, and horizontal concrete surfaces. Applying repair materials by hand does not require significant equipment and is ideal for shallow surface repairs, especially in areas with limited or difficult access. While both portland cement-based and resin-based repair mortars have been used for trowel-applied vertical and overhead repairs, this field guide focuses on the application of portland cement-based repair materials. Before any concrete repair is initiated, the root cause of the damage should be determined with a thorough condition survey of the structure. Typical causes of concrete damage can include corrosion of embedded metals from exposure to chloride ions from deicing salts or sea spray in coastal areas; Fig. 1—Concrete delamination. disintegration from freezing-and-thawing cycles when the concrete is saturated with water; or deterioration from chem- ical attack. Understanding the cause of the deterioration, the owner’s repair objectives, and the in-service environment of the concrete structure will help in the proper selection of repair materials and application methods. The technique of hand troweling repair mortars requires the selection of a sag-resistant mortar and attention to detail during application to achieve an adequately consolidated repair that is well-bonded to the concrete substrate. The successful installation is a function of good surface prepara- tion, application techniques, curing procedures, and properties of the repair material selected.

What is the purpose of this repair? Hand-applied repair mortars replace damaged concrete and are generally recommended for thin repairs that are Fig. 2—Bulk concrete removal. cosmetic in nature. Thin overlays of mortar can also be applied to renovate deteriorated vertical and overhead concrete surfaces. This technique, when properly executed, 1.

Bulk methods such as form and cast-in-place, grouted pre-placed concrete removal should include undercutting the corroded aggregate repair, or shotcrete.

Treatment of exposed reinforcement—Bond-inhibiting corrosion should be removed from the reinforcing steel by an abrasive blasting wire wheel or needle scaler. If the cross- sectional area of the reinforcing steel has been significantly reduced, a structural engineer should be consulted. If a rein- forcing steel coating has been specified, apply the coating after the reinforcing steel has been cleaned (Fig. 6). 4. Substrate saturation—Most portland cement-based materials require the base concrete to be in a saturated, surface dry (SSD) condition prior to application to prevent a rapid loss of moisture from the repair material and into the substrate. An SSD condition is achieved when the body of the concrete is saturated and free surface water and puddles have been removed from the surface of the concrete. An SSD surface is not recommended if a polymer bonding agent is to Fig. 5—Properly prepared surface. be used.

Condition Assessment Ratings

The ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers) has developed a standard engineering practice for the inspection and assessment of waterfront facilities. ASCE Manual and Reports on Engineering Practice No. 130- “Waterfront Faculties Inspection and Assessment” manual was utilized to perform the tasks outlined in the scope of work. Individual defect rating systems for various structural and marine components are outlined in this manual, and these systems provide a standard classification for all waterfront facilities. In the use of this system, each facility is given an overall condition rating based on the observed conditions. The ratings below are referred to as ‘Condition Assessment Rating,’ and they indicate the condition of the entire structure and its ability to perform its intended function. Not every element making up the structure has to meet the requirements of the overall rating. In addition, load restrictions may be recommended for areas where isolated deterioration has locally reduced the load carrying capacity of the structure.

• “6”- Good – No problems or only minor problems noted. Structural elements may show some very minor deterioration, but no overstressing observed. No repairs are required.

• “5”- Satisfactory – Minor to moderate defects and deterioration observed, but no overstressing observed. No repairs are required.

• “4”- Fair – All primary structural elements are sound, but minor to moderate defects and deterioration observed. Localized areas of moderate to advanced deterioration may be present but do not significantly reduce the load bearing capacity of the structure. Repairs are recommended, but the priority of the recommended repairs is low.

• “3”- Poor – Advanced deterioration or overstressing observed on widespread portions of the structure, but does not significantly reduce the load-bearing capacity of the structure. Repairs may need to be carried out with moderate urgency.

• “2”- Serious – Advanced deterioration, overstressing, or breakage may have significantly affected the load bearing capacity of primary structural components. Local failures are possible, and loading restrictions may be necessary. Repairs may need to be carried out on a high-priority basis with urgency.

• “1”- Critical – Very advanced deterioration, overstressing, or breakage has resulted in localized failure(s) of primary structural components. More widespread failures are possible or likely to occur, and load restrictions should be implemented as necessary. Repairs may need to be carried out on a very high-priority basis with strong urgency.

Element-level damage ratings are utilized to assess specific components of each structure based on the component’s material type or function. Damage ratings are specified as no deterioration, minor, moderate, major, and severe. The specifics and reasoning for each of ratings and material types are outlined in the “Waterfront Faculties Inspection and Assessment” manual. Excerpts from this manual outlining the overall condition assessment ratings as well as more element-level damage ratings pertinent to this inspection are detailed on the next page.
