CARL E MOSES SMALL BOAT HARBOR UNALASKA, ALASKA The Carl E.

The project was designed by PND under a Design/Build (D/B) construction contract. The general contractor was Pacific Pile & Marine and floats were manufactured by Transpac Marinas, Inc.

The DDF was designed to allow commercial fishers direct access to their vessels for provisions and loading via a vehicle transfer bridge connected to shore.

4 CARL E MOSES SMALL BOAT HARBOR UNALASKA, ALASKA The Carl E. Moses Harbor is located on Amaknak Island, at the head of Captains Bay, within the City of Unalaska and was designed to support the Dutch Harbor commercial fishing fleet. The project was designed by PND under a Design/Build (D/B) construction contract. The general contractor was Pacific Pile & Marine and floats were manufactured by Transpac Marinas, Inc. and Jesse Engineering, Inc. The approximate project cost was $32 million. The drive down facility included a 12 x96 Vehicle Transfer Bridge as well as a 64 x74 drive down float (DDF). The DDF was designed to allow commercial fishers direct access to their vessels for provisions and loading via a vehicle transfer bridge connected to shore. Project elements for the boat harbor included: (2) 6 x80 Aluminum Gangways (2) 16 x20 Gangway Landing Floats (1) 12 x470 Mainwalk Float A (4) 8 x60 finger floats (3) 12 x90 finger floats (7) 12 x100 finger floats (1) 12 x530 Mainwalk Float B (6) 12 x115 finger floats (5) 12 x130 finger floats 14 x320 Transient Float C Socketed steel pipe pile frames Potable water, fire suppression, electrical, power and lighting systems Mooring slips were provided for vessels in length. The high capacity steel float system with stress relief connectors, durable UHMW fenders, serrated steel bar grate decking, galvanizing with marine coatings, and cathodic protection systems throughout will ensure strength and long term durability. To increase pile capacity and minimize movement in deep water, the project includes heavy wall, 24 diameter, galvanized steel pipe pile bents installed as opposing pairs with structural moment frame connections. All piles were socketed twenty feet into bedrock. The new facilities also will save the fleet time and fuel they won t need to make the trip to Seattle for repairs or supplies... We ll have all the services they need here. - Tyler Zimmerman, City Engineer (Alaska Business Monthly, 2011)

5 P N D PETERSBURG DRIVE DOWN FACILITY PETERSBURG, ALASKA The Petersburg Borough desired to provide vehicle-accessible dock infrastructure equivalent to that available elsewhere in Southeast Alaska, so Petersburg Harbor may remain a home port to it existing commercial fishing fleet, small tour ships and recreational marine vessels. The Petersburg Borough retained PND to provide planning, environmental permitting and design services for their Marine Terminal project. The project was completed in March 2015 and involved the construction of: earthen fill with armor rock protection; a 30 x180 pile-supported, open grate approach dock; a 17 x140 heavy duty vehicle transfer bridge; and a 64 x180 drive down float. What a beautiful facility. It s here because someone had a vision, had passion and had guts enough to step up and [say] we re gonna do this. -Alaska Governer Bill Walker ( 2015)

7 P N D OVK INTERMODAL TRANSIT FACILITY KAKE, ALASKA The Organized Village of Kake (OVK) retained PND to provide planning, permitting, design, contract administration and construction inspection services for a new Intermodal Transit Facility at its Kake Cannery location. PND initially completed a Multi-Use Dock Study with recommendations for selecting a preferred alternative location and identified how dock development can stimulate economic activity and employment amongst various sectors of the Kake economy. The Kake Intermodal Transit Facility project expanded the uplands, provided new highway access and utilities, a 12 x144 transfer bridge and a submerged bridge support float. The transfer bridge accesses a 180 x32 wide drive down float and future bolt-on seaplane float. The purpose of this project was to improve public safety, provide public loading access, and enhance the economy of Kake. PND provided public involvement, and with the McDowell Group, examined potential users in the region. The OVK retained PND to prepare all necessary permit applications and a Mitigation Plan to compensate for unavoidable environmental impacts. The project was bid in separate contract schedules to align with funding from three independent sources: the U.S. Economic Development Agency, the Denali Commission, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The project was constructed on time and within budget, meeting OVK s full expectations. The new dock adds a whole new level of access, with drive-down capability that our community did not previously have. The facility has enhanced our economy, serving a broad spectrum of users, ranging from community members to commercial users and tourism. It s a gateway to our community and complements the Kake Historic Cannery NHL (National Historic Landmark) now being rehabilitated for future uses. -Gary E. Williams, OVK Executive Director
