Fort Baker Waterfront Partners Boat Shop RFQ Response Summary
Fort Baker Waterfront Partners Boat Shop RFQ Response Summary Proposed Concept, Program and Activities Fort Baker Waterfront Partners LLC (“Fort Baker Waterfront Partners”), a yet to be formed California limited liability company, intends to develop the Fort Baker Boat Shop consistent with the goals set forth in the original 1998 Fort Baker Plan and 1999 Final Environmental Impact Statement. It is contemplated that Equity Community Builders LLC and Passport Resorts LLC will be members and managers of Fort Baker Waterfront Partners and that its other members will include local individuals as well as both nonprofit and for-profit organizations committed to furthering the mission of the National Park Service and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The planning documents mentioned above outlined a vision for the Fort Baker waterfront as a center for “community meeting and program space with supporting food and beverage service, bicycle rental, restroom and other visitor activities.” Fort Baker Waterfront Partners proposes to fulfill that vision by rehabilitating the Boat Shop and adjacent buildings into a variety of meeting and gathering spaces, a general store, bar and grill, and public serving marina. We intend to meet all of the NPS’s objectives for the project including a sensitive rehabilitation of these historic resources, guided by our experience with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Rehabilitation of Historic Places, providing year round access to them by the public to enjoy our affordable food and beverages, meeting spaces and educational programs, and designing it, financing it and operating it in a manner that respects the NPS’s mission to “preserve unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the National Park System for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations”.

Rockfall Protection POINT BONITA LIGHTHOUSE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE, US POINT BONITA LIGHTHOUSE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE Rockfall Protection Project Point Bonita Lighthouse Pedestrian Bridge Zip code 94965 Location Sausalito, CA Country/Region United States Year of installation 2012 Customer National Park Service Engineering HDR, Inc. Contractor AIS Construction (defunct) Other participating companies Yeh and Associates, Inc. Initial situation In 1954, the U.S. Coast Guard built a suspension footbridge to access the Point Bonita Lighthouse on the outer northwestern point overlooking the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay. Over the years, the bridge had been renovated, but needed to be replaced in 2012. Before a new bridge could be constructed, the rock face needed to be stabilized. The point’s rock mass was fracturing and displaying signs of instability due to years of exposure to harsh marine elements. Stabilization was required to support the weight of a modern bridge without fracturing further. Description A stainless steel anchored SPIDER S4-230 mesh system was installed to stabilize the rock face. The diamond shaped net is comprised of three 4 mm wires twisted into a 1x3 strand, with tensile strength of 239 ksi and a diameter of 5/16 inches. As required by the National Park Service, the net was powder coated bronze to better blend with the natural color of the rock mass and further protect against corrosion. The project won ENR California’s Best Small Project — Construction award in 2012.
