CobbFendley <br />September 13, 2024 <br />Mr. Jameson Appel <br />Assistant Director of Public Works <br />City of La Porte <br />2963 N.23m Street <br />La Porte, Texas 77571 <br />RE: Sylvan Beach Pier Rehabilitation <br />Mr. Appel: <br />Cobb, Fendley & Associates, Inc. (CobbFendley) appreciates the opportunity to submit <br />this proposal to provide professional engineering services to the City of La Porte (City) <br />for the preparation of plans and specifications to rehabilitate the Sylvan Beach Pier. <br />This proposal includes our project understanding, scope of work, schedule and fee <br />provided below. <br />PROJECT UNDERSTANDING <br />The Sylvan Beach Pier was heavily damaged by Hurricane Beryl on July 8, 2024 and is <br />currently closed to the public. After reviewing drone footage provided by the City and <br />visiting the site, we believe the existing 1000 foot long pier can be rehabilitated by <br />utilizing most of the existing piles and most of the existing substructure framing. Any <br />missing or damaged piers or framing would be replaced. However, most of the existing <br />wood deck is missing or damaged and would need to be totally replaced. Additionally, <br />the T-head of the pier is severely damaged and would need to be totally reconstructed. <br />The City has requested the existing wood deck be replaced with'ThruFlow" decking or <br />similar product to reduce future deck damage during storm events. The use of this <br />product requires additional framing between piers to adequately support the deck which <br />will be included in the proposed design. The existing railings are mostly in place and <br />will be repaired/replaced as needed. We have prepared a preliminary estimate of <br />construction cost included as Attachment A which identifies a probable construction <br />cost of $1,560,400.00 <br />SCOPE OF WORK <br />Desian <br />1. CobbFendley shall prepare all work in accordance with the latest version of <br />applicable City of La Porte (City), Harris County, and State guidelines and <br />requirements. <br />2. CobbFendley shall notify the City prior to entering the park to conduct site visits <br />and to obtain geotechnical borings. Coordination with the City will ensure <br />N24 W Sam Houston Padcway N, Suite 6001 Houston, Texas 77041 1 Phone: 711,162.32421 Fax: 713,462.32621 wvsx.cobbfendley.com <br />TBPELS Engineering Finn No. 274; LeM Surveying Finn No. 1004670D <br />
