R&M worked with the City of Valdez to develop a long-term Waterfront Development Plan that included developing the new harbor basin constructed by USACE. We developed four concept plan alternatives, associated cost estimates and economic analyses to present to the Port and Harbor Commission. Subsequent work sessions resulted in more than 10 iterations of preferred alternatives, which ultimately determined the layout for the new harbor. R&M’s follow-on work included geotechnical investigation, permitting, engineering design, value engineering analysis, and bid and construction support for a 150-slip vessel moorage system, drive down float, transfer bridge and uplands facilities.
Development of the new harbor increased moorage capacity, added launch ramps, provided greater waterfront access for boaters and the non-boating public, increased local economic activity and provided opportunity for service industry development and fishing industry support.
