Q. A "non-arm's length transaction" is a transaction that does not meet the definition of an "arm's length transaction." In other words, the transaction is not a sale entered into in good faith and that reflects fair market value in the open market.

7.14.190 Audit and examination of premises and records.
A. For the purpose of ascertaining the amount of cannabis business tax owed or verifying any representations made by any taxpayer to the City in support of his or her tax calculation, the Tax Administrator or his/her designees which may include a third party shall have the power to inspect any location where commercial cannabis activity occurs and to audit and examine all books and records (including, but not limited to bookkeeping records, access to METRC data, and/or point-of-sale data, state and/or federal income tax returns, excise tax returns, and other records relating to the gross receipts of the business) of persons engaged in cannabis businesses.

1. If the person has not filed a complete statement required under the provisions of this chapter;
2. If the person has not paid the tax due under the provisions of this chapter;
3. If the person has not, after demand by the Tax Administrator, filed a corrected statement, or furnished to the Tax Administrator adequate substantiation of the information contained in a statement already filed, or paid any additional amount of tax due under the provisions of this chapter; or
4. If the Tax Administrator determines that the nonpayment of any cannabis business tax due under this chapter is due to fraud, a penalty of twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of the tax shall be added thereto in addition to penalties and interest otherwise payable under this chapter and any other penalties allowed by law.
B. The notice of assessment shall separately set forth the amount of any tax known by the Tax Administrator to be due or estimated by the Tax Administrator, after consideration of all information within the Tax Administrator's knowledge concerning the business and activities of the person assessed, to be due under each applicable provision of this chapter and shall include the amount of any penalties or interest accrued on each amount to the date of the notice of assessment.
The notice shall state that the person has thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the notice to make a written request for an informal hearing before the Tax Administrator. The notice shall also state that if the person fails to timely request an informal hearing within the time allowed, the amount determined by the Tax Administrator is final and conclusive and is immediately due and payable.
7.14.240 Tax assessment - notice requirements.
The notice of assessment shall be served upon the person either by personal delivery, by overnight delivery by a nationally-recognized courier service, or by a deposit of the notice in the United States mail, postage prepaid thereon, addressed to the person at the address of the location of the business or to such other address as he or she shall register with the Tax Administrator for the purpose of receiving notices provided under this chapter; or, should the person have no address registered with the Tax Administrator for such purpose, then to such person's last known address.

7.14.300 Remedies cumulative.
All remedies and penalties prescribed by this chapter, or which are available under any other provision of this code and any other provision of law or equity are cumulative. The use of one or more remedies by the City shall not bar the use of any other remedy for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this chapter.
7.14.310 Amendment or modification.
Except as set forth in Section 7.14.310, this chapter may be amended or modified but not repealed by the City Council without a vote of the people. However, as required by Article XIII C of the California Constitution, voter approval is required for any amendment that would expand, extend, or increase the rate of any tax levied pursuant to this chapter beyond the maximums set forth in this chapter. The people of the City of Pacific Grove affirm that the following actions shall not constitute an increase of the rate of a tax:
A. The restoration or adjustment of the rate of the tax to a rate that is no higher than that allowed by this chapter, in those circumstances where, among others, the City Council has previously acted to reduce the rate of the tax or is incrementally implementing an increase authorized by this chapter;
B. An action that interprets or clarifies (i) the methodology of applying or calculating the tax or (ii) any definition applicable to the tax, so long as the interpretation or clarification (even if contrary to some prior interpretation or clarification) is not inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter; or

C. The collection of the tax imposed by this chapter even if the City had, for some period of time, failed to collect the tax.
SECTION 2. SEVERABILITY. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The people of the City of Pacific Grove hereby declare that they would have passed this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, and phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases be declared invalid.
SECTION 3. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE. The City Council hereby finds and determines that this resolution or ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq. (“CEQA”) and 14 Cal. Code Re.
Sections 15000 et seq. (“CEQA Guidelines”). The calling and noticing of an election for the submission of a ballot measure to voters is not a project within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines 15378. The tax submitted to the voters is a general tax that can be used for any governmental purpose; it is not a commitment to any particular action or actions.
As such, under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 (b)(4), the tax is not a project within the meaning of CEQA because it creates a government funding mechanism that does not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. If revenue generated by the tax were used for a purpose that would have such an effect, the City of Pacific Grove would undertake the required CEQA review for that particular project. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15060 CEQA analysis is not required.
SECTION 4. EFFECTIVE DATE. Pursuant to the California Constitution, Article XIIIC(2)(b) and California Elections Code § 9217, if a majority of the voters voting in the election on this measure vote in favor of the adoption of this measure, this ordinance shall be deemed valid and binding and shall be considered adopted upon the date that the vote is declared by the City Council and shall go into effect ten (10) days after that date.
This Ordinance was approved and adopted by the People of the City of Pacific Grove at the City’s November 8, 2022 statewide election.
This Ordinance was approved by Declaration of the vote by the City Council of Pacific Grove on ______________.

Agenda No. 12 B
CITY OF PACIFIC GROVE
300 Forest Avenue, Pacific Grove, California 93950
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joyce Halabi, Deputy Public Works Director
MEETING DATE: October 04, 2023
SUBJECT: Lovers Point Pier Repair
CEQA: Does not constitute a “Project” per California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378
RECOMMENDATION
1. Receive report and provide direction
2. Alternatively, take other action related to this item
DISCUSSION
Background
In January 2021, during winter storms the seaward tip of the Lovers Point Pier was damaged by wave runup and wave impact forces. A geotechnical and coastal engineering firm was consulted to provide repair recommendations. It was determined that because minimal information on the existing pier structure was available, additional exploration was needed prior to developing repair recommendations.
The tip of the pier was closed to ensure safety and will remains closed until repairs can be made.
As part of the FY21/22 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), $100,000 was budgeted for the Lovers Point Pier Project. The intent of the project was to obtain information on the pier’s construction and current condition through exploratory investigation and provide an analysis of possible repair options.
In December 2021, the City Council authorized an agreement with GHD in an amount not to exceed $99,852. The scope of services for this agreement included:
Performing a pier investigation
Developing a Conditions Assessment Report
Develop an Interim Repair Design and a corresponding plan set, and Providing permit and grant support
At their June 21, 2023, meeting, the City Council received the conditions assessment (Attachment 1), interim repair design concept and plan set (Attachment 2), and some high-level conceptual design alternatives for a long-term repair option. The full agenda report can be viewed HERE. At this meeting the Council requested staff provide additional information to more thoroughly evaluate the options.
Specifically, the Council requested:
Estimated cost to develop a potential long-term repair option Estimated construction cost for long-term repair option Grant options (and potential City match requirements) for long- and near-term repair options PG CC 10/4/23
222 of 375
This agenda report aims to address the supplemental questions from the Council and provide a comparison of the options. Please note that this is a cursory comparison as various factors associated with the long-term repair would need to be designed/engineered to narrow the associated costs, permitting, environmental, etc.

INTERIM REPAIR DESIGN SOLUTION
As an element of their scope of work for the CIP Project, GHD performed a conditions assessment of the pier and prepared an interim repair option and set of plans. The interim repair solution aims to address the identified deficiencies and allow for improvements that will enhance the safety of the pier structure. The interim repair plan is included in Attachment 2.
Condition Assessment
To develop an interim repair design solution, GHD performed a conditions assessment. Date inputs included:
Review of historical documentation
Assessment of the damage caused during the storms.
Assess the internal structures of the pier via boreholes and core samplings; this allowed for review of the composition and strength of the structure.
Wave runup analysis
Riprap revetement size analysis, and
Visual inspections
The full Conditions Assessment Report is included as Attachment 1. A high-level overview of takeaways from the assessment is provided below:
The pier is primarily a gravity structure that is not column-supported or reliant on the strength of concrete beams.
The gravity structure is comprised of interbedded layers of concrete, a matrix of concrete bonded to rip rap and rip rap rock.
There are voids and joints within and between the interbedded layers due to the improvements PG CC 10/4/23
223 of 375
There are voids and joints within and between the interbedded layers due to the improvements made over the years to the 100+ year old structure.
Some of the concrete is weak, other segments are strong.
The 1980s renovation, which reinforced concrete walls and slabs on the upper and lower decks, encased the weaker concrete and rip rap matrix that makes up a good chunk of the structure.
The reinforced concrete walls and slabs provide a protective layer for the weaker legacy material.
The reinforced concrete improvements included iron and carbon rebar which has corroded and expanded over time resulting in severe cracking and spalling of the concrete further exposing the rebar.
The rebar supporting the concrete walls severely corroded at the east end of the upper deck and a panel of concrete dislodged and feel into the ocean during the large wave events.
The pier performed as expected based on its construction.
The gravity structure is not in danger of a catastrophic failure currently However, as the reinforced concrete walls continue to fail, exposing more of the vulnerable core of the gravity structure, the rate of deterioration will accelerate.
If nothing is done to reinforce and stabilize the core of the structure, the damage will get worse in the coming decade.
The 100+-year-old pier structure has had a big influence on beach creation at Lovers Point, if the pier and rock jetty were to cease to exist, the sediment flow and accumulation patterns in the vicinity of the pier would be altered to the detriment of public access and recreational beach usage.
Ultimately, the report recommends implementation of the near-term repair solution (“interim repair”) as soon as possible.
Scope of Work
The interim repair project was developed based on the information obtained during the Conditions Assessment with the intention of addressing identified deficiencies and enhancing safety of the pier structure. The scope of work includes:
Installing reinforced shotcrete fascia on the existing pier wall face. This will act as a structural element as well as cosmetic surfacing that matches the adjacent concrete Replacement of the concrete at the edges and top of the pier with a sound concrete edge Replacing concrete footings and guard rail along the pier perimeter Demolish a 7” segment of the existing slab and pouring a new 7” thick monolithic slab on the seaward 75 feet of the upper deck
Replacement of the concrete slab on the entire lower pier deck Reform and resurface the lower staircase that extends into the water from the lower pier deck Cost
Development Cost: The cost to develop the interim design repair plan set, including the necessary technical assessments, was included in the original $99,852 contract for the project authorized by the City Council. These costs have already been assessed.
Construction Cost: The engineers' estimate for the interim repair solution is $1.35 million.
Total Cost: The total cost is estimated to be $1.45M.
Service Life
The interim repair solution is anticipated to last approximately 20 years.
Permitting/Environmental
GHD has designed the interim repair to fit within a “repair and maintenance” project and a CEQA Categorical Exemption for Class 1 existing structures will be pursued.
PG CC 10/4/23
224 of 375
The California Coastal Commission has been engaged and has seen the draft plan set. A walk-through was also conducted following the damage. No concerns have been raised by the Coastal Commission staff as it relates to the interim repair option.
Potential Grant Funding
There is more limited availability for grant funding as it relates to the near-term project due to an increased emphasis and desire for projects that are newly designed for resiliency with new sea level rise models.
For the near-term stabilization project to address public safety, protect beach access, and prevent future site degradation, the State Coastal Conservancy’s Coastal Conservancy Grant Program could provide funding. The State Coastal Conservancy anticipates having $150M for coastal resilience projects in FY2024. Applications for this funding are accepted on a rolling basis with no specific deadline.
They have a 3-step process to apply, including preliminary discussion with Regional Coastal Conservancy Staff, a pre-application, and if successful a full application, for which the Coastal Conservancy will provide a response within 3 to 4 months. Grant amounts typically range from $200,000 to $5 Million and can include both planning/ design and construction implementation funding. Typically, grants require a 15% match.
LONG-TERM REPAIR SOLUTION
To develop estimates related to the long-term repair solution, GHD put together the attached scope of work breakdown and proposal (Attachment 3).
Scope of Work
The scope of work for the Long-Term Repair Solution is articulated in detail in Attachment 3. The purpose of the long-term repair would be to completely rehabilitation the pier with the goal of making it more resilient to sea level rise and significant storm events and providing for safe public access and recreational opportunities. The overarching scope of work would be broken out into 3 phases:
Phase 1 – Preliminary Efforts. The purpose of Phase 1 would be to secure funding for the design and permitting of the project and to complete the initial work to determine a preferred alternative to construct and support the permitting of the project. Preliminary efforts would include a feasibility study, bathymetric survey, coastal engineering analysis, initial community outreach, and grant funding support.
1. Phase 2 – Design and Environmental Efforts. Phase 2 would be centered on the design and environmental permitting. Phase 2 efforts would include a detailed geotechnical investigation, development of design and construction drawings, environmental and coastal permitting and continued community outreach. This phase would also include necessary grant support to obtain construction grant funding.
2. Phase 3 – Construction/ Construction Support & Monitoring. Phase 3 would entail construction support and project monitoring. This includes a constructability review, pre-bid site meetings, and Request for Information (RFI) responses during the bidding phase. During the construction phase, this would include daily inspections, special inspections/testing, and post-construction monitoring.
3. Cost
A high-level overview of the costs range for each Phase is provided below.
Civil / Structural / Electrical Design (estimate $750k to $1M) Permitting / Studies / Public Outreach (estimate $400k to $600k) Construction (estimate $6M - $8M)
PG CC 10/4/23
225 of 375
Construction Support / Monitoring (estimate $600k to $750k) Total Estimated Cost Range: $7.75M-$10.35M
Service Life
The long-term repair solution is anticipated to last approximately 50-75 years.
Permitting/Environmental
It is anticipated that this project will trigger an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The full extent of permit application requirements cannot be determined until the final project design is selected and the project area is defined. Once the specifics of the long-term design are solidified, a review of potential agencies with permitting jurisdiction would be assessed. This includes the California Coastal Commission, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, US Army Core of Engineers, and the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Potential Grant Funding
Some potential grant funding opportunities for the long-term replacement project include:
State Coastal Conservancy – Coastal Conservancy Grant. This funding is allowed for a wide array of projects along the California coast to increase the availability of beaches, parks, and trails for the public, protect and restore natural lands and wildlife habitat and increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change. The Conservancy will fund most project stages in including pre-project feasibility studies, property acquisition, project planning including community involvement, design environmental review, permitting, construction, and project-related monitoring.
There is no maximum or minimum grant amounts; however, it is anticipated that most grants will be between $200,000 and $5,000,000.
There is typically a 15% match required for state funds.
Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB)- Public Access Grant. WCB funds water-related projects throughout the state, especially those in line with their strategic plan to provide enhanced public access, climate change resiliency and support coastal habitats and biodiversity.
There is no limit on how much an applicant can apply for. WCB typically funds projects greater than $500,000 desirable for administrative purposes.
There is typically a 15% match required for state funds.
Federal Emergency Management Agency – Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC). FEMA’s BRIC grants support communities as they undertake hazard mitigation projects, reducing the risks they face from disasters and natural hazards. FEMA made $2.295 billion available for the BRIC program in FY 2022.
This type of federal grant typically requires a 25% match.
NEXT STEPS
Staff is looking for direction from the Council on which option they’d like to pursue.
If the council opts to seek either option, near–term or long-term, City staff can return with a proposed modification to the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to allocate a new project in the current fiscal year with options for seed funding that would allow the City to show matching funds to seek grants.
Alternatively, the council can provide direction to have either the near–term or long-term option return as an element of consideration in next year’s CIP process.
The council may also elect not to proceed with either option. If nothing is done to reinforce and stabilize the core of the structure, the damage will get worse in the coming decade. The 100+-year-old pier PG CC 10/4/23
226 of 375
structure has had a big influence on beach creation at Lovers Point if the pier and rock jetty were to cease to exist, the sediment flow and accumulation patterns in the vicinity of the pier would be altered to the detriment of public access and recreational beach usage.
OPTIONS
1. Recommend Staff Proceed with Interim Repair Design
2. Recommend Staff Proceed with Long Term Repair Design Do Nothing. This is not recommended as the damage will worsen if repairs are not made; moreover, the damage could have detrimental impacts to public access/beach usage if prolonged over time.
3. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This is no fiscal impact associated with received this report. Depending on the direction provided by council, the fiscal impact will vary. Staff can return with funding options and to revise the CIP depending on Council direction.

Attention: Robert Sherwood, PE (805-858-3142)
From: Mark Foxx, CEG 1493 and Moses Cuprill, CE 78904

Subject: Lovers Point Pier Condition Assessment
Reference: Lovers Point Pier
Pacific Grove, CA
Dear Mr. Sherwood:
During the January 2021 winter storms, the seaward tip of the Lovers Point Pier was severely damaged by ocean wave runup and wave impact forces. Waves were reportedly observed breaking on the pier structure and wave runup was flowing across the concrete deck that forms the surface of the pier.
After that damage the City of Pacific Grove retained Haro Kasunich and Associates Inc. (HKA), who briefly evaluated the damage to the pier and recommended a more in-depth assessment of the pier's condition. In March 2022 the City of Pacific Grove retained GHD who in turn retained HKA to perform that assessment. This Memorandum presents the results of the assessment that evaluates the condition of the upper and lower deck of the pier.
In preparation of this assessment HKA made several site visits to observe the condition of the pier, had several working meetings with GHD, and had an additional in-house working meeting to develop alternatives. Based on review of historic documents HKA understands that circa 1900 there was originally a granite quarry at Lover's Point which enlarged the cove where the Lovers Point beaches exist today.
Subsequently a “cement pier” was constructed before 1907, replacing an earlier wooden wharf. In 1909 the cement pier was extended further into the bay by constructing two large 25 to 30 feet tall concrete monoliths and tipping them off the end of the pier. The monoliths were covered with granite rocks and cement. Wooden piles were then driven into the end of the cement pier and founded upon the cemented granite rocks creating a wooden wharf extension for access. The pier was improved in the 1980’s with the construction of concrete walls and fascia creating a shell around the pier and lower dock, with that most recent renovative work on the pier utilizing plans by J. D. Raggett and Associates, dated 2-17-82.
The pier is oriented towards the northeast from where it joins the Lovers Point shoreline. It was founded in part on a small natural ridge of granitic bedrock that extends into Monterey Bay. The orientation of the pier and the presence of the prominent Lovers Point immediately to the northwest serves to protect it from the largest ocean swells that enter Monterey Bay from the west and northwest.

The pier sustained damage from wave attack that fractured and dislodged large pieces of the concrete wall and fascia that was constructed in 1982, exposing the internal elements of the pier to more direct wave impact.
A photograph of the pier from September 2015, before the January 2021 damage occurred is shown below:

From our observations of the damaged pier, it appears that the pier was originally constructed partially as a wooden wharf that was subsequently surrounded with quarry stone and concrete, with rip rap boulders being placed along the side of the pier that is more exposed to the ocean. In January 2021, at the tip of the pier, several large pieces of concrete fascia were stripped off the structure by wave impact. The ends of two decayed wooden beams are visible where voids were created where the concrete fascia was stripped off the pier. The reinforcing ties that anchored the fascia to the concrete deeper within the pier structure are rusted away. This created a situation where the fascia was unattached or barely attached to the main bulk of the pier structure. The concrete fascia of the pier has been historically patched based on different fascia thicknesses and concrete types that are now visible. There is evidence that at least four generations of fencing that guard visitors from the drop offs at the edges of the pier have been installed at PG CC 10/4/23

The Lovers Point beach would be adversely affected, directly impacting public recreational beach usage. Photograph 5 below shows the public enjoying the beach in early April 2022.

To assess the internal structure of the pier we utilized a rotary percussion drill to advance three 2-inch diameter holes that were 9 to 11 feet deep. Two were drilled on the upper deck of the pier and one on the lower deck surface. The upper pier boreholes revealed concrete in the top 21 to 24 inches, with soft, relatively weak concrete with embedded granitic rubble down to a depth of about 6 feet. Below 6 feet was interbedded layers of granite rip rap, concrete, and concrete bonded to rip rap. Subsequently these two boreholes were drilled to refusal on granite bedrock or granite rip-rap at depths of 9 and 10 feet. On the lower elevation pier deck platform surface that faces southeast, a percussion borehole revealed an 18- inch-thick concrete section, with soft, relatively weak concrete down to a depth of about 3 feet, then harder concrete with embedded granitic rubble down to a depth of about 8 feet. The native granite bedrock formation was encountered below a depth of 8 feet deep.

6 116 EAST LAKE AVENUE WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA 95076 (831) 722-4175 FAX (831) 722-3202 We subsequently diamond core drilled 3 holes in the pier in similar locations to the percussion drilled boreholes described above. We recovered continuous core samples from each hole, and this allowed visual inspection of the concrete, rubble, and other materials from the interior of the pier structure. At the conclusion of drilling, all holes were plugged with high strength concrete grout.
Laboratory testing of core samples derived from the diamond drilling were visually inspected and tested for compressive strength. One of the concrete samples from the upper deck had a compressive strength of over 7,000 psi. The remaining samples tested within the upper 5 feet had had test results that indicated between 3,100 and 4,400 psi, as well as weaker samples that were not tested, which is below the ACI 318-22 code required minimum of 5,000 psi. The weaker zones of concrete were easily drilled with the percussion drill and the concrete became disaggregated into a mixture of sand grains and cured cement.
Visual observation of the pier (see photographs 2, 3 and 4 above) shows that in the area where the concrete fascia has been stripped off, the internal structure of the pier is an assorted assemblage of sound concrete, granitic rubble in a weaker concrete matrix, occasional voids, and old wooden components. At the seaward end of the pier, both upcoast and downcoast from the damaged area, the remaining fascia exhibits fractures and differential displacement across the fractures. A network of cracks exists in the slabs that form the top of both the upper and lower pier walking surfaces. These cracks in the horizontal walking surfaces do not exhibit vertical displacement.
The lower pier deck has a dense network of surface cracks on its walking surface. Erosion and spalling of the concrete is occurring along the cracks. The 1982 Raggett plans specified a minimum of 1-1/2 inches of concrete cover over uncoated carbon steel reinforcing bar for the slabs and mostly 3 inches of concrete cover elsewhere, with mild steel welded wire mesh being used as reinforcing in thin air blown mortar fascia. Typical practice in more recent years involves epoxy coated, MMFX (Chromx) or stainless-steel rebar for most marine applications, with robust reinforcing and thickened wall sections capable of counteracting wave impact forces.
Severe corrosion of the reinforcing in the pier concrete and air blown mortar (shotcrete) is now evident in many places. Where corrosion has occurred and the iron in the reinforcing steel has oxidized forming iron oxide reddish brown staining is evident. This chemical alteration of the reinforcing steel involves the iron expanding in volume as it oxidizes and the rebar corrosion causing concrete deterioration through delamination and spalling of the concrete cover, reducing the cross-sectional area of the reinforcement, and reducing its bond to the concrete. These effects grossly reduce the strength of reinforced concrete and make concrete beams and columns vulnerable to deflection and rupture. The Lovers Point pier is primarily a massive gravity structure that is not column supported or reliant on the strength of concrete beams. One exception is the stairs going from the lower pier deck surface to the upper pier deck surface are built with a hollow area underneath, which does rely on reinforced concrete integrity to prevent its sudden structural collapse. The vertical concrete/shotcrete walls around the pier also rely on reinforced concrete integrity to prevent the pier from being eroded away, however that process is more incrementally progressive.
The pier is fronted on the Lovers Point side (downcoast side) by a rip-rap revetment. This revetment appears to have been enlarged and extended to protect the end of the pier between 1979 and 1987.

Showing Enlarged Rip-rap Revetment at Pier
(courtesy of californiacoastline.org)
We field surveyed and prepared a 440-foot-long profile that extended from the upper pier deck surface (at about Elevation + 14 feet NAVD88) to the limit of the revetment (at about Elevation 0 feet NAVD88) to an elevation of about -23 feet NAVD88. We examined the quarry stone size (tonnage) and calculated the stability of the quarry stones in the steeply sloping toe of the structure. We utilized estimated extreme present-day ocean stillwater levels (9.9 Feet NAVD88) and used a low risk aversion with high emissions (these have a 66% probability of occurrence if predicted high emission scenarios are realized) stillwater level of 11.7 for year 2072 in our analysis. More extreme sea level rise is predicted to occur if lower probability (higher risk aversion) scenarios are realized. We note that the predicted 2072 (50 year) sea level rise scenario we utilized in our analysis has the ocean stillwater level (at extreme tide with storm surge and wave pileup conditions) at an elevation approximately 2.30 feet below the upper surface of the pier.
A wave runup analysis was conducted utilizing methodologies outlined in the 1984 Army Corps of Engineers Shore Protection Manual (SPM) and the computer program by Noble Coastal Engineers WRUPTM. The analysis was performed on Cross Section A field surveyed by HKA as described above.
Design still water levels of 9.9 feet NAVD88 (Year 2022) and 11.7 feet NAVD88 (Year 2072) where used in the analysis.

We also specified the deep-water wave height using a simulated near shore wave model from an adjacent project which predicted breaking waves closer to the structure.
Both scenarios are possible and should be considered. A summary of results is presented in Table 1 below.

The results indicate that at present day during the worst-case storm conditions wave runup elevations can vary between 32 and 38 feet NAVD88. That equates to approximately 20 feet of vertical wave spray above the top of the pier which sits at elevation 14.5 feet NAVD88. In 50 years, wave runup elevations vary between 35 and 45 feet NAVD88 which equates to an average of 25 feet of vertical spray above the top of the pier. Detailed spreadsheets and raw data software outputs are included in Appendix B.
The larger of the breaking wave heights from the wave runup analysis where selected for each still water level scenario and a wave force analysis was performed to determine wave pressures acting on the existing vertical pier walls. Wave forces were calculated using the following methods. 1) Broken Waves Seaward of Stillwater Line (Shore Protection Manual Volume II, 1984) 2) Minikin Method (Shore Protection Manual Volume II, 1984) 3) Breaking Wave Loads on Vertical Wall (FEMA Coastal Construction Manual) The results of the analysis indicate that presently during worst case storm conditions dynamic wave impact pressures can be up to approximately 500 psf for broken waves rolling into the pier as white water and 1000 psf for waves breaking as green water on the structure. In 50 years from now those forces may reach 600 psf and 1,660 psf for broken waves rolling into the structure and breaking waves on the structure, respectively.
Details and spreadsheets used for calculating wave pressures utilizing the three different wave force analysis methodologies are included in Appendix B.
A rip-rap size analysis was performed in the zone of maximum wave impact at the revetment fronting the pier. The weight and surface area of 122 boulders was inventoried and a mean boulder size of 2 tons was determined. Using the wave heights generated in the wave runup analysis the size requirement of rip rap was determined for the 10:1 (H:V) slope fronting the pier. In present day storm conditions 1 ton rock is required for large waves braking offshore and rolling in as white water. Larger 4-ton rock is required for moderate to large waves breaking directly on the revetment. In 50 years from now (2072) 6-ton rock is required for larger waves breaking on the rip rap at the 10:1 (H:V) slope. Our analysis indicates that the PG CC 10/4/23
236 of 375
10 116 EAST LAKE AVENUE WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA 95076 (831) 722-4175 FAX (831) 722-3202 existing rip-rap revetment is marginally stable when compared with wave force analysis under present day stillwater levels. If sea level rise increases the stillwater level by nearly 2 feet as predicted in the coming 50 years (2072) the rip rap revetment structure will be considerably undersized for the wave forces. Undersized rip rap revetment structures are prone to having their boulders plucked by waves and ultimately slump to a flatter slope gradient becoming less effective. Since the existing revetment sits at a relatively flat gradient at present increased runup and overtopping will be the most prevalent change in the future. Actual sea level rise measured from tidal gauges over the past several decades indicate a much slower rate of sea level rise. However larger increments of sea level rise may occur as melting of ice sheets or other contributing factors occur in the future. Our conclusion is that we expect the existing revetment at the current slope gradient of 10H:1V will continue to perform well for 50 years. As the Stillwater level increases over time the revetment will slowly become less effective at reducing wave runup and overtopping and greater wave forces will occur against the concrete pier structure. Ultimately the revetment will need to be reinforced with a layer of larger quarry stones or precast concrete elements (e.g., dolos, tetra pods, tribars etc.) Refer to Appendix C for an inventory spreadsheet and rip-rap sizing calculations.
The pier is performing as expected for a massive gravity structure founded partly on concrete rubble and rip-rap and partly on granite bedrock. The gravity structure is comprised of interbedded layers of concrete, a matrix of concrete bonded to rip rap, and rip rap rock. There are void and joints within and between the interbedded layers. Some of the concrete is very punky/weak. The entire pier was renovated in the early 1980’s with reinforced concrete walls and slabs on the upper and lower decks. These renovations encased the weaker concrete and rip rap matrix that makes up most of the gravity structure.
The reinforced concrete walls and slabs provide a protective layer for the much weaker legacy material making up the mass. The reinforced concrete improvements included iron and carbon rebar which has corroded and expanded overtime resulting in severe cracking and spalling of the concrete further exposing rebar. The rebar hangars supporting the concrete walls are severely corroded at the east end of the upper deck and a panel of concrete dislodged and fell into the ocean during a large wave event. The gravity structure is not in danger of a catastrophic failure at this time. However, as the reinforced concrete walls continue to fail exposing more of the vulnerable core of the gravity structure, we expect that the rate of deterioration will accelerate. In other words, this damage will only get worse in the coming decade, if nothing is done to reinforce and stabilize the core of the gravity structure.
APPENDIX A to this MEMORANDUM shows numerous photographs of specific conditions found along the pier that warrant action.
Recommendations:
If nothing is done, then: a) Damage will continue as well as accelerate; b) Concrete debris will remain in the ocean water and more will follow; and c) Use of the pier by the public will be beyond an ordinary level of risk.
Ordinary risk is defined as the following:
Failures only affecting owners/occupants of a structure rather than a substantial population. No significant potential for loss of life or serious physical injury. No collapse of structures; structural damage limited to repairable damage in most cases.
This alternative may present an unacceptable level of risk to the City assuming the pier would remain accessible for use by the public.
Appendix A to this Memorandum includes a detailed description of various elements of the pier, their location, our observation of their condition, problems that we noted, and conceptual recommendations that can be solutions to those problems.

11 116 EAST LAKE AVENUE WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA 95076 (831) 722-4175 FAX (831) 722-3202 In addition to this Memorandum, we (HKA) have prepared a set of short-term ("Interim") repair plans for the pier which will remediate most of the problems with the pier for the near future (10 or perhaps 20 years). Those plans will be submitted separately.
Removing concrete debris should be considered. This includes the pieces of concrete fascia resting on the seafloor in shallow water, as well as loose pieces of fascia that are partly detached from the pier structure. The concrete in the ocean water appears to have been colonized with marine life, and the disturbance associated removal of part or all of it is likely to do more harm than good. Loose pieces of fascia that are partly detached from the pier structure can be removed with a small crane or perhaps an excavator operated from the intact part of the concrete pier deck. A workman would likely need to assist to place slings around or anchor bolts into the concrete debris pieces so they can be lifted, placed in a truck, and transported to an appropriate disposal site. This alternative is environmentally appropriate.
Development and installation of a short-term repair (an "Interim" repair) is warranted as soon as possible.
This includes:
A. Monitor surf forecasts and close the entire pier to public use for temporary periods of time if adverse (dangerous) conditions are forecast. If wave overtopping of the pier deck or large waves are forecast during king tide periods, close the pier to public use. Monitoring should include tidal conditions, ocean swell size, direction, and period; This is prudent to maintain an acceptable level of risk.
B. Monitor future deterioration until the short-term "Interim" repair work is completed. This involves periodically inspecting the condition of the pier to assess if future damage is occurring. This is prudent no matter which other actions are taken. As part of the monitoring, supplemental recommendations should be made to the City, so those can be implemented as appropriate.
C. Design and installation of a new structural fascia that wraps around the tip of the pier and allows restoration of public use of the tip of the pier. The fascia should act as a short-term structural element as well as a cosmetic surfacing that matches the adjacent concrete surfaces. Inclusion of soil nail restraints within the fascia to enable it to act as a long-term retaining structure has been considered; however, this is more appropriate for consideration during development of a longterm repair plan for the pier.
D. Replacement of the concrete at the edges of and the tip of the pier with a sound concrete edge beam that replaces the cracked and split concrete there.
E. Replacement of the fencing along the margins of the pier, with the new fencing founded in the new concrete edge beam, which should be done in a manner that prevents corrosion of the fencing material from damaging the concrete. The fence posts should be embedded in the concrete in a manner that will minimize the chances of wave impact loading on the fence resulting in causing the edge beam to crack.
F. Replacement of the concrete slab on the seaward 75 feet of the upper pier deck.
G. Replacement of the concrete slab on the entire lower pier deck.
H. Reforming and resurfacing the stairs that extend into the water from the lower pier deck surface in a code compliant manner. A stainless-steel handrail should be provided.
I. Further evaluation of the stairs that extend from the upper pier deck surface to the lower pier deck surface by a structural engineer. If they must be replaced, that should be done in a code compliant manner. A stainless-steel handrail should be provided. If the structural engineer deems that repairs will be sufficient to allow use of the stairs, they should define those.
J. Consideration of whether a code compliant guard should be installed at the perimeter of the lower pier deck surface where there is an abrupt drop off into the ocean.
K. Maintaining new fencing in a location far enough landward of the damaged part of the pier so that users of the pier are only able to access the stable part of the pier. This involves placement of a new fence to prevent access to approximately the seaward 10 feet of the pier.
L. Further evaluation of the small building that is on the approach to the pier by a structural engineer. If it is unsafe to enter and must be replaced, that should be done in a code compliant manner. If the structural engineer deems that repairs will be sufficient to allow use of the building, PG CC 10/4/23

Long Term Repair Alternatives
Over the next 50 years the Lovers Point Pier will be subjected to an increase in sea-level rise, storm surge, wave runup, wave overtopping, and wave impact forces. We expect that the portion of the rip rap revetment at a 10H:1V slope gradient will perform well for the next 30 years. The pier structures even with the interim repairs implemented should be expected to deteriorate over the next couple of decades to the point that it will need to be repaired again with a similar interim concept or completely replaced with a new coastal structure. During this time frame the repair should be monitored at the beginning and end of each winter storm season as well as at the end of each large wave event accompanied with hightides. The monitoring should be conducted by a registered civil or structural engineer specializing in marine structures.
The interim repair will provide adequate time for an investigation, alternatives analysis, design, community outreach, permitting, and construction of a replacement coastal structure. We have developed several alternatives for the long-term repair of the pier structure for consideration. Each repair alternative will require a specific type of investigation:
Long-Term Repair Alternative 1. Total removal of the existing pier and rip-rap revetment and construction of a new wharf supported by deep foundations. The wharf would occupy a similar footprint to that of the existing pier. This alternative is not recommended because it would allow wave and tidal movement to propagate beneath the wharf and disrupt the littoral drift process which provides the Lovers Point beach with sand. Lack of sand build up in the cove will shrink the beach and create a negative recreational impact for the public.
Long-Term Repair Alternative 2. Total removal of the existing pier and rip-rap revetment and construction of a new concrete gravity structure in a similar footprint supported directly upon the granite bedrock formation that makes up the sea floor. The structure would bear directly upon the seafloor and prevent the movement of water beneath it. This alternative would not disrupt the littoral drift process, however, the environmental impacts during construction such as containing concrete from the tidal zone make this alternative not preferred from a constructability standpoint.
This alternative would also generate higher wave runup and overtopping scenarios since the rip rap revetment would be removed.
Long-Term Repair Alternative 3. Removal of existing concrete pier gravity structures above 0.0 feet NAVD88 and construction of new pier atop old concrete foundation elements and rip rap.
This alternative is preferable to alternative 2 from an environmental impact and constructability standpoint, however, the design relies on older foundations and undersized rip rap for support and protection. Over the next 50 years the existing rip rap may be dislodged from the pier base leaving it vulnerable undermining as well as increased impact from wave runup and overtopping events.
Long-Term Repair Alternative 4. Complete removal of existing pier and rip rap. Construct a rip rap jetty in the same footprint with adequately sized rock to approximate elevation +20.0 feet (+/- 5 feet) NAVD88. Construct a concrete gravity structure atop the rip-rap jetty as a causeway for recreational access. This alterative is preferred from a constructability, environmental impact, and long-term protection standpoint.
To properly design and permit Long-Term Repair Alternative 4, more subsurface investigation and more detailed coastal engineering analysis is required for site specific geometry of the proposed long-term PG CC 10/4/23

Problems:
1) Extensive cracking of concrete slab. Cracking appears to be combination of construction joint cracking, cracking from shrinkage during curing as well as from settlement and flexure of the massive concrete structure.
2) Spalling from corrosion of reinforcing bar at slab edges.
Solutions:
1) Remove 8-inch of cracked concrete in the seaward 75 feet of pier surface area. 2) Install new 8-inch-thick reinforced topping slab over entire existing slab. Slope surface for positive drainage.
3) Utilize heavy broom non-slip finish on new slab.
4) Use marine elastomeric filler in new control joints.

Along this edge there is a wall along the edge of the pier and the upper pier concrete slab is about 6 inches in elevation below the top of the wall that descends to the adjacent rip-rap. The concrete has severely cracked in numerous areas due to corrosion (chemical alteration) of the reinforcing steel that involves the iron expanding in volume as it oxidizes and causes concrete deterioration by delamination and spalling of the concrete cover and reducing the cross-sectional area of the reinforcement and reducing its bond to the concrete. Prominent cracks often parallel with the wall and near the location of present or former railing posts. Cracking is also evident that crosses the top of the wall, and corroded rebar is visible.

28 116 EAST LAKE AVENUE WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA 95076 (831) 722-4175 FAX (831) 722-3202 Problems:
1) Extensive cracking of top of wall at upper pier deck edge toward Lovers Point. Large cracking appears to be associated with corrosion of former railing posts, as well as from settlement and flexure of the massive concrete structure. Concrete erosion is evident. 2) Spalling from corrosion of reinforcing bar in near surface areas.
Solutions:
1) Remove upper portion of wall at upper pier deck edge toward Lovers Point and reform a new concrete beam at the edges of and the tip of the pier with a sound concrete edge beam that replaces the cracked and split concrete there, so the new concrete beam can be used as a stable foundation for new corrosion resistant railings. After demolition, form new concrete beam designed as a gravity structure with an integrated sleeved foundation for new railings, and pour new concrete.
2) Integrate work so that the adjacent new 8-inch-thick reinforced topping slab is structurally tied to the new concrete beam with reinforcing bar.
3) Use marine elastomeric filler in upper portion of new railing foundation sleeves and in any required control joints.
4) Resurface repaired areas to match existing.
5) Install fence or guard at drop off.
6) Install safety signage.

31 116 EAST LAKE AVENUE WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA 95076 (831) 722-4175 FAX (831) 722-3202 Problems:
1) Four prior generations of railing are evident. Extensive concrete cracking has resulted from expansion of railing posts because of corrosion and from wave impact forces on the railings from ocean wave overtopping of the pier.
2) Railings are essential for pier user safety, and thus must be in a challenging corrosive environment that is subject to wave inundation and impact. 3) Railing will not protect users from wave uprush, impact, or overtopping. 3) Lack of fence or guard at drop off into ocean. Safety Hazard.
Solutions:
1) Install new corrosion resistant railings. Found them in the new concrete beam located at the edges of and the tip of the pier with an integrated sleeved foundation for the new railings. 2) Use marine elastomeric filler in upper portion of new railing foundation sleeves and in any required control joints.
3) Resurface repaired areas to match existing.
4) Close pier during extreme ocean wave conditions. Install safety signage.

The ends of two decayed wooden beams are visible where voids were created where the concrete fascia was stripped off the pier. The reinforcing ties that anchored the fascia to the concrete deeper within the pier structure are rusted away. This created a situation where the fascia was unattached or barely attached to the main bulk of the pier structure. The concrete fascia of the pier has been historically patched based on different fascia thicknesses and concrete types that are now visible.

35 116 EAST LAKE AVENUE WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA 95076 (831) 722-4175 FAX (831) 722-3202 Problems:
1) Extensive cracking of concrete wall and facing. Large cracking appears to be caused by a combination of reinforcing bar and reinforcing tie failure and spalling. Under the stress of wave impact forces.
2) Exposed edges of facing and adjacent walls are delaminating and becoming detached from the core of the pier.
3) The core of the pier is exposed and subject to ongoing damage. 4) Foundation of existing fence at tip of pier is damaged, so it does not adequately guard the drop off into the ocean there. Safety Hazard.
Solutions:
1) Maintain existing additional safety fencing to prevent pedestrian access to the seaward 10 feet of the pier.
2) Close pier during extreme ocean wave conditions. Install safety signage. 3) Install new corrosion resistant railings. Found them in the new concrete beam located at the edges of and the tip of the pier with an integrated sleeved foundation for the new railings. 4) Demolish "Failing Area" of shotcrete facing shown in Photograph 26 (above). 5) Install new marine shotcrete fascia tied into core of existing pier and into new beam around upper pier perimeter. Take precautions to prevent concrete debris from any required demolition and any uncured fresh or hardened concrete from entering the ocean. 6) Resurface repaired areas to match existing adjacent surfaces.

38 116 EAST LAKE AVENUE WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA 95076 (831) 722-4175 FAX (831) 722-3202 Location 10 : Steps to Beach from Pier Approach
At the landward end of the approach to the pier, a set of steps with arcuate treads descends to the beach sand at the main Lovers Point Beach.
Appendix A Photo 30: Steps to Beach
Problems:
1) The noses of the treads have eroded and become broken off, resulting in irregular surfaces on the steps, which are partly covered in sand. This creates a slip and fall hazard. 2) No handrail exists.
Solutions:
1) Reconstruct steps that are code compliant.
2) Install code compliant handrail(s) for pedestrians to use.

OF 14 SHEETS
GENERAL NOTES
PURPOSE AND OVERVIEW
The purpose of the Lovers Point Pier Interim Repair Project (Project) is to provide short-term structural repairs to the exterior of the Lovers Point Pier in Pacific Grove, CA to maintain the integrity of the core of the pier, and to replace the perimeter railing and stairways for public safety.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND THEIR ANSWERS
1) What heavy machinery is proposed to be used and at which phases of construction is heavy equipment required? Equipment will be determined after selection of the Contractor. 2) Where is the construction staging area? Will construction equipment and materials be stored on the beach? The staging area will be the parking lot delineated on Sheet 3, Staging and Access, per City request on 1/31/2023. 3) Will the construction be done primarily from the blufftop above, or will construction primarily take place from the pier?
Not applicable to this Project.
4) If construction will take place from the pier, how will heavy equipment gain access to the construction area? The Contractor will drive equipment down to the pier via the access route delineated in Sheet 3, Staging and Access.
The Contractor will remove the equipment from the pier at the end of each work day. 5) How much of the adjacent park and beach areas will be impacted by construction activities and for how long? The area of the project where active construction operations are being performed should remain closed to public access during the work due to safety concerns. The Contractor is anticipating +/- (TBD) working days to complete their work. This will be adjusted as necessary to take advantage of favorable tide and daylight conditions and will be impacted by unfavorable conditions. The actual duration will be governed by these conditions. 6) If public access will be closed during construction, please describe why it will be necessary to close public access and the estimated duration of the closure.
As explained above, the pier area should remain closed to public access for the duration of the project to allow for public safety. When conditions are safe for the public to enter the work area, those areas will be reopened for public use.
7) Will construction equipment and activities enter the waters of the Monterey Bay? The Contractor does not anticipate entering the water with any equipment. Contractor shall utilize means and methods to protect the waters of Monterey Bay and prevent any debris or wet concrete from entering those waters. 8) What will the duration and timing of construction be? The duration of construction will be determined by the Contractor. The Contractor shall develop a schedule that is coordinated with the City of Pacific Grove Public Works Department prior to the start of construction an shall provide that schedule to the Engineer. The schedule for completing the required work may be dependent on tide levels and ocean wave runup and will be determined once all permits are in hand.
MARINE PROTECTION
To prevent any impacts upon the marine habitat, no non-native spoils or debris shall be allowed to enter these areas or shall be allowed to adversely impact the beach or enter the tidal waters. Under no circumstances shall use of equipment be allowed seaward of the Mean High Tide Line in areas where water is present. Equipment and vehicle use on the beach during construction shall be minimized. Contractor employee parking shall be permitted in designated parking areas only. Although construction activity will occur on the beach and near ocean areas, such activity must be strictly confined to the area where work is required. Any areas of loose or unstable soil must be stabilized immediately. Any heavy equipment operation must be conducted with care near the edge of the water to prevent damage to the habitat. Care must be taken so the inland and beach areas outside the work area are not damaged during construction. If a fuel or lubricant spill occurs, immediate notification of the Engineer and appropriate authorities shall be made. Any equipment driven onto the beach should be well maintained and inspected daily to verify that there are no fuel, hydraulic fluid or lubricant leaks.
ACCESS PROTECTION
The proposed access route is on The City of Pacific Grove property. Impacts to the access route must be minimized.
The impacts to beach access and residential access must be minimized. Appropriate signage shall be used to make sure that beach users know what to do as they approach the work sites. The Contractor shall be responsible for the restoration of the access route and staging area to its original condition. The Contractor shall use access routes and staging areas as directed by the Owner and shall repair access routes and staging areas to pre-project condition or better as directed by the Owner. The Contractor shall not close or obstruct streets, walks, drives or other occupied or used spaces or facilities without the written permission of the Owner. Underground utilities are located under the access route and shall be protected from damage.
EXAMINATION OF JOB SITE, PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
A. The Contractor shall carefully examine the work site and the Plans and Specifications. The submission of a bid shall be conclusive evidence that the Contractor has investigated and is satisfied as to the conditions to be encountered, as to the character, quality, and scope of work to be performed, the quantities of materials to be furnished and as to the requirements of the Geotechnical and Coastal Engineering Investigation and Plans and these Specifications. The plans consist of 14 sheets.
B. The City of Pacific Grove is the Owner of the Project Area. Haro, Kasunich and Associates, Inc. (HKA), Consulting Geotechnical, Coastal and Civil Engineers, is the Engineer for the Project and will represent the Owner during design and construction of the Project.
C. The contractor shall recognize that the plans used for the drawings of the Pier Structure may differ from the actual physical site. Dimensions are approximate. Before proceeding with the work, it shall be the Contractor's responsibility to check the site in relation to the drawings and specifications. Report any discrepancies to the Owner and the Engineer.
D. The Contractor must attend a pre-bid meeting with the Engineer prior to submitting a proposal to complete the proposed work. The Contractor will be required to attend a pre-construction meeting with the Engineer prior to the commencement of construction. The purpose of these meetings is so the Contractor may ask questions concerning the work and to make sure the Contractor understands the permit conditions and environmental constraints.
COMPLIANCE WITH CODES:
A. All construction and materials shall be as specified and as required by the 2022 California Building Code, the Building Code Standards, locally enforced codes and authorities. All articles, materials and equipment shall be installed, applied and connected as directed by the manufacturer's latest written specifications except where otherwise noted.

OF 14 SHEETS
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT PLAN PROVISIONS
The Lovers Point Pier Repair Project (Project) proposes short-term structural repairs to the exterior of the pier to maintain the integrity of the core of the pier, and replacement of the perimeter railing and stairways for public safety. The Project would include replacement of approximately 165 linear feet of railing on the upper platform, replacement of approximately 85 linear feet of low-profile bull rail on the lower platform, and reconstruction of the concrete stairs and topping slab on both the upper and lower pier platforms. The Project would also include installing up to 2,000 square feet (up to 40 cubic yards) of reinforced shotcrete around the perimeter of the pier to protect the integrity of the pier. Reconstruction of the topping slab includes removing 7 inches of the topping slab (walking surface) concrete on both the upper pier platform (approximately 1,150 square feet) and lower pier platform (approximately 900 square feet), doweling into the existing remaining concrete slab, and installing new reinforced concrete slab of same thickness. The reconstructed stairways will be built to current code standards and include guardrails and handrailing.
The Lovers Point Pier repair project would occur in a single phase and be scheduled to minimize impacts during the busy summer months between Memorial Day and Labor Day. The construction staging area will be located in the adjacent park and fenced off from the public, and have a contractor trailer, temporary utilities, and gated entrance.
The Project is within City limits and is a public area that falls under the City's recently updated Local Coastal Plan (LCP). The Project construction laydown and staging area will be in the adjacent park open space area and repairs are anticipated to be performed with only land-based equipment. The construction laydown and staging area is approximately 1,000 square feet, as shown in Sheet 3.
Installation of the pier perimeter shotcrete will be done only during low tide and scaffolding will be installed on the sides of the pier for over water work. Construction best management practices (BMPs) will be implemented during the duration of the Project and include prevention measures related to over water work and the protection of adjacent waterways. Traffic along Ocean View Boulevard will be maintained except during material transfers during demolition and construction.
The Project shall conform to requirements of these plans and specifications, as well as permit obtained for the project with the more stringent requirements taking precedence.
All work shall take place during daylight hours, and lighting of the beach and ocean area is prohibited.
Grading of intertidal areas is prohibited, except removal of existing debris, concrete, rubble, etc., is allowed in these areas.
Construction (including but not limited to construction activities, and materials and/or equipment storage) is prohibited outside of the defined construction, staging, and storage areas.
Equipment washing, servicing, and refueling shall not take place on the beach, and shall only be allowed at a designated inland location.
Appropriate best management practices shall be used to ensure that no spills of petroleum products or other chemicals take place during these activities. Spill kits will be placed onsite.
The construction site shall maintain good construction site housekeeping controls and procedures (e.g., clean up all leaks, drips, and other spills immediately; keep materials covered and out of the rain, including covering exposed piles of soil and wastes; dispose of all wastes properly, place trash receptacles on site for that purpose, and cover open trash receptacles during wet weather; remove all construction debris from the beach; etc.).
All erosion and sediment controls shall be in place prior to the commencement of construction as well as at the end of each workday. As needed, silt fences, or equivalent apparatus, shall be installed at the perimeter of the construction site to prevent construction-related runoff and/or sediment from entering into Monterey Bay.
All public recreational use areas and all beach access points impacted by construction activities shall be restored to their pre-construction condition or better within three days of completion of construction.
The Permittee shall notify planning staff of the Coastal Commission's Central Coast District Office at least three working days in advance of commencement of construction or maintenance activities and immediately upon completion of construction or maintenance activities.
Minor adjustments to these construction requirements may be allowed by the Executive Director if such adjustments: (1) are deemed reasonable and necessary; and (2) do not adversely impact coastal resources.
ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
Nothing in these additional construction requirements shall change the need to comply with the Coastal Commission requirements listed above. If questions arise, request clarification from the Project Engineer or Engineering Geologist.
Construction access shall be as directed by owner. Impacts to the access route must be minimized and disturbance along the access route must be restored to pre-construction conditions upon project completion. The following provisions shall apply to the work.
Any debris generated during construction shall be removed from the site.
All work shall take place during daylight hours and lighting of the beach area is prohibited unless, due to extenuating circumstances, the City of Pacific Grove Public Works Director or Executive Director of the California Coastal Commission authorizes non-daylight work and/or beach area lighting.
Construction work and equipment operations shall not be conducted seaward of the mean high water line, with the exception of removal of the existing rip rap that is seaward of the mean high water line.
All construction equipment shall remain as far landward as possible, and shall avoid contact with ocean waters and intertidal areas.
All erosion and sediment controls shall be in place prior to the commencement of construction as well as at the end of each work day.
Silt fences, or equivalent apparatus, may be installed at the perimeter of the construction site to prevent construction related runoff and/or sediment from entering into the Pacific Ocean. Fencing may be used on the beach for erosion and sediment controls as necessary to contain rock and/or sediments at the project site.
All construction materials and equipment placed on the beach shall be stored beyond the reach of waves and extreme tides, and shall be removed from the beach if necessary to avoid inundation. Materials that remain on the beach overnight must be located in the dry sand back shore area, as close to the toe of the bluff as possible. The extent of overnight storage areas shall be kept the minimum necessary.
No fueling, or fuel storage shall be allowed on the beach at any time.
The Contractor (and Permittee) shall monitor weather forecasts and move all construction equipment and materials off of the beach in advance of storm or extreme tidal events.
Construction (including but not limited to construction activities, and materials and/or equipment storage) is prohibited outside of the defined construction, staging, and storage areas.
No work shall occur on the pier during weekends or Holidays unless, due to extenuating circumstances (such as tidal issues or other environmental concerns), and the City of Pacific Grove Public Works Director or Executive Director of the California Coastal Commission authorizes such work.
All heavy equipment used for concrete pouring shall be set at least 25 feet landward of the pier entrance and shall use flexible hoses or articulated booms to deliver concrete to the project site. Other heavy equipment may be used periodically atop the pier, but shall be removed from the pier when not in use.
Equipment washing, refueling, and/or servicing shall not take place on the beach, or within 50 feet of the shoreline.
Petroleum products and other hazardous materials will be kept on paved roads or a distance of at least 50 feet from the shoreline.
The construction site shall maintain good construction site housekeeping controls and procedures (e.g., clean up all leaks, drips, and other spills immediately; keep materials covered and out of the rain (including covering exposed piles of soil and wastes); dispose of all wastes properly, place trash receptacles on site for that purpose, cover open trash receptacles during wet weather, remove any construction debris from the beach).
All areas of beach disturbed by construction activities shall be restored to their original pre-construction condition. Upon completion of construction, the access route and staging area shall be restored to their original condition.
At all times during project construction activities, copies of each of the following shall be maintained in a conspicuous location at the construction job site (where such copies shall be available for public review) and all persons involved with the construction shall be briefed on the content and meaning of each prior to commencement of construction: (a) the signed coastal development permit; (b) the approved final plans; and (c) the approved construction management plan.
MARINE PROTECTION
To prevent any impacts upon the marine habitat, no overburden or wet cement may be allowed to adversely impact the beach or enter the tidal zone. Under no circumstances shall use of equipment be allowed seaward of the mean high tide line when seawater is present.
Any areas of loose or unstable soil must be stabilized immediately after other portions of the project are finished. Any heavy equipment operation must be conducted with care near any bluff edges to prevent the destabilization of the substrate and additional erosion. Care must be taken so coastal bluffs outside the work area are not damaged during construction.
CONSTRUCTION COORDINATOR
Contractor shall provide a construction coordinator that can be contacted during construction, should questions arise during construction (in case of both regular inquiries and in emergencies). Their contact information (including their address and 24 hour phone numbers) shall be conspicuously posted at the job site in a manner so that the contact information is readily visible from public viewing areas. The posting shall indicate that the construction coordinator should be contacted to answer questions that arise during construction (in case of both regular inquiries and in emergencies). The construction coordinator shall record the name, phone number, nature of all complaints (if any) received during construction, and shall investigate complaints and take remedial action, if necessary, within 24 hours of receipt of the complaint or inquiry.
BEST MANAGEMENT PLAN PROVISIONS
Appropriate protocols shall be implemented to manage all construction-phase Best Management Practices (including installation and removal, ongoing operation, inspection, maintenance, and training), to protect coastal water quality. The Contractor shall provide the SWPPP for the project. Additional Best Management Practices shall include the following:
Best Management Practices:
A. Minimize Erosion and Sediment Discharge. During construction, erosion and the discharge of sediment off-site or into coastal waters shall be minimized through the use of appropriate Best Management Practices including:
1. Land disturbance during construction (e.g., clearing, grading, and cut-and-fill) shall be minimized, and grading activities shall be phased, to avoid increased erosion and sedimentation.
2. Erosion Control Best Management Practices (such as mulch, soil binders, geotextile blankets or mats, or temporary seeding) shall be installed as needed to prevent soil from being transported by water or wind. Temporary Best Management Practices shall be implemented to stabilize soil on graded or disturbed areas as soon as feasible during construction, where there is a potential for soil erosion to lead to discharge of sediment off-site or to coastal waters. This should be done where staging, access, and construction activities occur.
3. Sediment Control Best Management Practices (such as silt fences, fiber rolls, sediment basins, inlet protection, sand bag barriers, or straw bale barriers) shall be installed as needed to trap and remove eroded sediment from runoff, to prevent sedimentation of coastal waters. This should be done where staging, access, and construction activities occur.
B. Minimize Discharge of Construction Pollutants. The discharge of other pollutants resulting from construction activities (such as chemicals, paints, vehicle fluids, petroleum products, asphalt and cement compounds, debris, and trash) into runoff or coastal waters shall be minimized through the use of appropriate Best Management Practices, including:
1. Materials Management and Waste Management Best Management Practices (such as stockpile management, spill prevention, and good housekeeping practices) shall be installed or implemented as needed to minimize pollutant discharge and polluted runoff resulting from staging, storage, and disposal of construction chemicals and materials. Best Management Practices shall include, at a minimum:
a) Covering stockpiled construction materials, soil, and other excavated materials to prevent contact with rain, and protecting all stockpiles from stormwater runoff using temporary perimeter barriers. b) Cleaning up all leaks, drips, and spills immediately; having a written plan for the clean-up of spills and leaks; and maintaining an inventory of products and chemicals used on site.
c) Proper disposal of all wastes; providing trash receptacles on site; and covering open trash receptacles during wet weather. d) Prompt removal of all construction debris from the beach. e) Detaining, infiltrating, or treating runoff, if needed, prior to conveyance off-site during construction.
2. Fueling and maintenance of construction equipment and vehicles shall be conducted off site if feasible. Any fueling and maintenance of mobile equipment conducted on site shall not take place on the beach, and shall take place at a designated area located at least 50 feet from coastal waters, drainage courses, and storm drain inlets, if feasible (unless those inlets are blocked to protect against fuel spills). The fueling and maintenance area shall be designed to fully contain any spills of fuel, oil, or other contaminants.
Equipment that cannot be feasibly relocated to a designated fueling and maintenance area (such as cranes) may be fueled and maintained in other areas of the site, provided that procedures are implemented to fully contain any potential spills, such as fueling the equipment with an impermeable visqueen catchment apron designed to capture any possible spills.
C. Minimize Other Impacts of Construction Activities. Other impacts of construction activities shall be minimized through the use of appropriate Best Management Practices, including:
1. The damage or removal of non-invasive vegetation (including trees, native vegetation, and root structures) during construction shall be minimized, to achieve water quality benefits such as transpiration, vegetative interception, pollutant uptake, shading of waterways, and erosion control.
2. Soil compaction due to construction activities shall be minimized, to retain the natural stormwater infiltration capacity of the soil.
3. The use of temporary erosion and sediment control products (such as fiber rolls, erosion control blankets, mulch control netting, and silt fences) that incorporate plastic netting (such as polypropylene, nylon, polyethylene, polyester, or other synthetic fibers) shall be avoided, to minimize wildlife entanglement and plastic debris pollution.
D. Minimize Impact of Construction In, Over, or Adjacent to Coastal Waters and Habitat. Construction shall protect the coastal waters and habitat by implementing Best Management Practices, including:
1. No construction equipment or materials (including debris) shall be allowed at any time within the tidelands when ocean water is present there.
2. Construction activity shall not be conducted seaward of the Mean High Tide Line, unless tidal waters have receded, and the area is part of the authorized work area.
3. All work shall take place during daylight hours, and lighting of the beach and ocean area is prohibited.
4. All construction equipment and materials placed on the beach during daylight construction hours shall be stored beyond the reach of tidal waters.
5. Tarps or other devices shall be used to capture debris, dust, oil, grease, rust, dirt, fine particles, and spills to protect the quality of coastal waters.
6. All erosion and sediment controls shall be in place prior to the commencement of construction, as well as at the end of each workday. At a minimum, if grading is taking place, sediment control Best Management Practices shall be installed at the perimeter of the construction site to prevent construction-related sediment and debris from entering the ocean, waterways, natural drainage swales, and the storm drain system, or being deposited on the beach. Natural beach sand, cobbles, and bedrock materials shall not be removed from the beach.
7. Only rubber-tired construction vehicles shall be allowed on the beach; the only exception shall be that tracked vehicles may be used if the Executive Director agrees that they are required to safely carry out construction. When transiting on the beach, all construction vehicles shall remain as high on the upper beach as possible and shall avoid contact with ocean waters and intertidal areas.
8. All shotcrete and construction material debris resulting from construction activities shall be removed from the beach at the end of each workday.

LOVERS POINT PIER - LONG-TERM
REPLACEMENT PROJECT SCOPE OFWORK
Project Purpose and Goals
Background
Lovers Point Park is a landscaped community park of 4.4 acres in the City of Pacific Grove, accessible from Ocean View Boulevard. The park is used for picnicking, fishing, swimming, water sports, and weddings, and community events. Park amenities include a large lawn area, a beach volleyball court, a children's swimming pool, sandy beaches, rocky outcrops, a beach cafe, a restaurant, public restrooms, and a concrete pier structure (aka Lovers Point Pier). The “cement pier” was constructed before 1907, replacing an earlier wooden wharf. In 1909 the cement pier was extended further into the bay by constructing two large 25 to 30 feet tall concrete monoliths and tipping them off the end of the pier. The monoliths were covered with granite rocks and cement. Wooden piles were then driven into the end of the cement pier and founded upon the cemented granite rocks creating a wooden wharf extension for access.
The pier was improved in the 1980’s with the construction of concrete walls and fascia creating a shell around the pier.
Purpose and Goals
During the January 2021 winter storms, the Lovers Point Pier was significantly damaged by ocean wave runup and impact forces. Waves were reportedly observed breaking on the pier structure and wave runup was flowing across the concrete deck that forms the surface of the pier. Recent winter storms have continued to cause additional structural damage to the pier and railing. As a result, large sections of concrete have been torn from the sides of the pier and public access to the end of pier has been restricted in the past. The purpose of the long-term project is to completely rehabilitate the pier with the goal of making it more resilient to sea level rise and significant storm events, maintaining the historic aesthetic of the pier, and providing for safe public access and recreation opportunities.
Project Description
Proposed Project
The Lovers Point Pier Rehabilitation Project (Project) proposes the raising and reconstruction of the northern half of the pier facing the ocean (or ‘Upper Pier’) to approximately 10 feet above the existing walking surface elevation. Additional wave protection measures may be incorporated into the design of the Upper Pier to possibly include a wave deflection barrier and the addition of more large rock on top of the existing armor stone. The southern half of the pier (or ‘Lower Pier’) would be reconstructed to meet current code and ADA requirements along with allowing for better public access. All reconstructed stairways and railing will be built to current code standards.
Summary of Project Objectives
The objective of the project is to replace Lovers Point Pier with a new structurally sound, ADA accessible, and aesthetically pleasing pier that will be constructed on top of existing bedrock and armor stone, and resilient to higher sea levels and significant storm events. GHD’s approach to achieve this objective is broken down into three (3) phases, which include:

Figure Error! No text of specified style in document. – Proposed Project Phasing Diagram Phase 1 – Preliminary Efforts
The goal of Phase 1 of the project is to support the City with securing funding for the design and permitting of the project, and to complete initial work to determine a preferred alternative to construct and support permitting of the project. An outline of the Phase 1 scope is detailed below.
Feasibility Study
A Feasibility Study will be produced for the Lovers Point Pier Project and include the following:
Benefit Cost Analysis (BCA) to support grant applications (funding authorities will require BCA to be completed to prove the viability of the project). Comparative Analysis of Alternative Solutions – permitting agencies, in particular the California Coastal Commission (CCC), will require an analysis of alternatives to ensure and document the City’s consideration of various options. Future efforts could include a request to consolidate Coastal Development Permit (CDP) applications for both the City and State. Other permits could include a US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Nationwide 3 Maintenance permit, Section 401 Clean Water Act (CWA) permit from the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board, Incidental Harassment Authorization (IHA) from National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries, and coordination regarding Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary jurisdiction and the Pacific Grove Area of Special Biological Significance. Expectations for various permit requirements will be presented in a permit matrix for the City’s reference. Environmental Constraints Study – GHD will use the CEQA Initial Study Checklist in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines as a road map in conducting a concise review of likely environmental issues associated with the project. This high-level qualitative assessment will include desktop reviews of various environmental resources as sufficient to make a preliminary determination as to the likelihood of potential environmental impacts. Conclusions will be useful in developing the CEQA scope of work anticipated under Phase 2 of this scope of work.
The study will utilize a multi-criteria analysis that scores various alternatives against each other for both qualitative and quantitative criteria. The highest scoring alternative will likely be recommended to the City as the Preferred Alternative to proceed with detailed design and permitting.

Bathymetric Survey
A bathymetric survey will be performed to extend the previous aerial / topographic survey of the existing pier completed in June 2022 roughly 200 feet into the adjacent ocean waters. The bathymetric survey will allow for the underwater contours around the pier to be established which will help in supporting environmental studies for the permitting efforts and the coastal engineering analysis. The bathymetric survey will be merged with the previous landside survey. All surveys will be based on City of Pacific Grove standards and delivered in an AutoCAD format using the NAVD '88 vertical datum. The completed survey file will show elevation contours at 1-foot intervals.
Deliverable: Electronic file of the combined bathymetric and landside surveys in AutoCAD format Figure 2 Proposed Bathymetric Survey Limits
Coastal Engineering Analysis
The existing pier has been determined to be in need of raising to reduce wave overtopping, meet Sea Level Rise criteria, and continue to adequately protect the adjacent Lovers Point Beach. A coastal engineering analysis modeling the anticipated wave forces during a significant storm event and effects on the proposed structures and adjacent beach is recommended to be performed by GHD. The analysis will help better determine which alternative configuration and other protection features are appropriate for the project. The coastal engineering analysis is anticipated to consist of the following:
Data Review & Gap Analysis - A thorough understanding of the environmental conditions and coastal processes both within and immediately adjacent to the Project Area is necessary to develop a coastal model that will accurately replicate past conditions and forecast future scenarios. The success of a model’s outputs is strongly correlated with the quality of the input PG CC 10/4/23

data. GHD will perform a review of the spatial and temporal coverage of both client-provided and publicly available datasets. This review will determine and document the following parameters:
- Water levels (tidal datums, storm surge, relative sea level rise) - Wind / Currents / Waves
- Bathymetric and topographic surveys
- Historic aerials to analyze pocket beach shoreline changes - Seabed surface and sub-surface conditions
- Sediment grain size characteristics
Should any data gaps present themselves, GHD will transmit a list of additional data needs and/or the impacts any data gaps may have on model performance. This list and a path forward will be discussed with the client prior to proceeding.
Lovers Point Pier Conceptual Design Section - Taller and wider breakwaters provide more wave sheltering effects, but require more material, are costlier and may reduce a shoreline’s scenic views. GHD will evaluate a range of pier crest elevations and widths by evaluating the overtopping rates and transmitted wave heights within the lee of the pier for the design waves and water levels determined in the data review and gap analysis. The purpose of this task is to determine a conceptual design section of the proposed pier/breakwater that will be further evaluated during the more detailed design stages outlined in subsequent tasks. Wave3 FM Model Development - The DHI by MIKE software package will be utilized for this study; specifically the MIKE 3 Wave FM model. This software package is internationally recognized and is used to assess wave dynamics of planned infrastructure using a 3D phaseresolving model that more accurately simulates wave breaking, run-up and overtopping for both porous and non-porous structures. The first step of the model setup is developing a model domain that encompasses, and likely extends offshore of the Project Area to align with any measured wave data collected in Task 1. An unstructured flexible mesh (FM) will be set up using the MIKE package, with grid cell areas increasing in resolution closer to the shoreline. This approach optimizes model run times while ensuring accuracy in the area of interest. The next step in the process is to set up and calibrate the wave model using any measured wave data gathered during Task 1. If measured wave data is unavailable, GHD will validate the model results against empirical formulae. The purpose of this is to ensure the model outputs accurately capture the local wave propagation effects and interactions with the Lover’s Point Pier.
GHD assumes that up to three improvement scenarios will be modelled. Each improvement scenario will be modelled for up to four wave climate scenarios; e.g. peak annual conditions and an extreme event at both current and future water levels. Desktop Sedimentation Study of Pocket Beaches - GHD will review available historic surveys, aerials, and any beach nourishment records to determine and document the historic stability of the beach pocket shorelines. GHD will utilize the results of the numerical model to determine the bed shear stress differences between the pre- and post-improvement scenarios. GHD will qualitatively assess the sedimentation effects that each improvement scenario may have on the pocket beaches.
GHD’s understands that the pocket beach shorelines adjacent to the Lover’s Point headland and pier have not experienced significant erosion in the past and that pier replacement alternatives will remain in the same general footprint. Therefore, this scope assumes that a qualitative assessment of bed shear stress changes (as opposed to a more detailed shoreline morphology model) will be adequate to assess the sedimentation effects of the pre- and post-improvement scenarios. We also assume waves are the primary driver of sediment transport within the pocket beaches.

Figure 3 Wave Overtopping at Lovers Point Headland & Pier Initial Community Outreach
Early community engagement and input to help establish the preferred long-term alternative will be a critical to the project’s success. Our stakeholder engagement team will develop and implement a community outreach strategy to support the development of the project. Phase I of the project is anticipated to be an exploratory step and early community engagement effort to seek input on preliminary project design alternatives, while explicitly acknowledging the technical expertise and project parameters established by the City and GHD. This community input will help the City vet issues, concerns and community preferences that will inform the scope and approach for Phase II of the project.
Community outreach will also support the permitting by CCC, who will want to know that the City has considered the needs and wants of the Pacific Grove community, and the greater community, when developing the long-term solution. Future efforts could include soliciting public input regarding the project and future amenities, facilitating and/or participating in community interest meetings, and CEQA public meeting support. The GHD team would meet with the City to discuss a range of activities from which a program can be tailored to meet the City’s needs and desires.
Consulting firm Rincon has been added to our team for limited informal consultation as needed, given their involvement with the City of Pacific Grove on the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update and imminent work on the first phase of the City’s Focused General Plan Update. Both efforts involve robust community engagement programs including community workshops, stakeholder interviews, focus group meetings, committee meetings, study sessions, and other engagement that are expected to provide valuable insights for the Lovers Point Pier project.
Deliverable: Brief summary memorandum outlining a menu of public involvement/community outreach activities from which the City can choose, should they want to supplement their in-house staff resources.
Initial Agency Engagement
Early engagement with the permitting and environmental agencies will be key to the success of the longterm Lovers Point Pier replacement project. GHD / Rincon staff know the processes and documentation that will be required by the various agencies who have jurisdiction over the pier. Early engagement will include emailed communications, plus presentations and meetings.
Deliverables: Preliminary meeting with City and various agencies PG CC 10/4/23

Grant Funding
GHD will support the City with funding application(s) to secure funds for future phases of the project.
Funding of the project is likely to be achieved through multiple grants. GHD’s in-house resources include experienced professionals with extensive grant funding knowledge and capabilities. GHD, led by our funding specialist Rebecca Crow, has supported communities in obtaining over $100 million in grant dollars for infrastructure projects in California. Further supporting our team, Maria Lehman, is GHD’s Infrastructure Market Leader for the United States since May of 2020. Maria is currently the National President of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). Maria has studied the new infrastructure bill in detail and will provide additional support and insights into the funding sources and merit criteria to increase application competitiveness.
Some of the potential grant funding opportunities for the Lovers Point Pier Long-term Replacement Project include:
State Coastal Conservancy - Coastal Conservancy Grant The Coastal Conservancy funds a wide variety of projects along the California coast to increase availability of beaches, parks and trails for the public, protect and restore natural lands and wildlife habitat, and increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change. The Conservancy will fund most stages of a project including: pre-project feasibility studies, property acquisition, project planning including community involvement, design, environmental review, permitting, construction, and project-related monitoring. From the Coastal Conservancy website:
“There are no maximum or minimum grant amounts for this funding; however, it is anticipated that most grants will be between $200,000 and $5,000,000.” Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB) - Public Access Grant The WCB funds water-related projects throughout the State, especially those in line with their strategic plan to provide enhanced public access, climate change resiliency, and support coastal habitats and biodiversity. WCB pulls funds available from a variety of sources including the $275M of Proposition 68 funds intended to increase public access, and the $450M of WCB allocated Proposition 84 funds that can be utilized for park and public access improvements. From WCB staff presentation, there is no limit on how much an applicant can apply for (with project funding amounts greater than $500,000 desirable for administrative purposes) and would depend on the annual funds available and review by staff during the pre-application process. Larger WCB funded projects may require cost sharing by the applicant.
Federal Emergency Management Agency - Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC)
Annual Solicitation support communities as they undertake hazard mitigation projects, reducing the risks they face from disasters and natural hazards. The BRIC program guiding principles are supporting communities through capability- and capacity-building; encouraging and enabling innovation; promoting partnerships; enabling large projects; maintaining flexibility; and providing consistency. FEMA made $2.295 billion available for the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant program in fiscal year 2022, with a maximum federal share of $25M.
Deliverables:
– Analysis of up to 4 funding opportunities that align with the project goals and timing, including summary of Program goals and ranking criteria compared to the City’s Project. – Pre-application meetings with grant funding agencies
– Submit grant applications for design and permitting efforts PG CC 10/4/23

Phase 2 – Design and Environmental Efforts
Site Investigations
Detailed Geotechnical Investigation
The initial geotechnical investigation performed by HKA enabled the development of a cursory idea of what a conceptual long-term solution should look like, but a more detailed geotechnical site investigation is required to meet the design needs for the potential long-term solutions. A more detailed geotechnical site investigation will be conducted by ENGEO which will include performing one (1) deep exploratory boring and two (2) shallow test pits. Test pits will be performed using hand tools to achieve a depth of up to 2 feet in depth. The main purpose of the test pit explorations is to provide walkway recommendations.
The deep boring will be advanced with to approximately 30 feet or refusal with a track-mounted, smalldiameter drill rig.
Materials encountered in the borings will be logged and sampled by an ENGEO geologist and/or engineer.
Geotechnical laboratory testing of representative samples of the soil obtained from the exploratory boring will include grain size classification, field density/moisture content, strength, pH, minimum resistivity, soluble sulfate content, and soluble chloride content tests as appropriate.
Existing aerial images, geotechnical documents, and geologic/geotechnical maps and literature pertaining to the site and vicinity will be reviewed. Preparation of a geotechnical report summarizing the results of the subsurface explorations will include a site map, boring log, and laboratory test results. The report will present geotechnical recommendations for design and construction of the new pier structure and ancillary improvements, and will include recommendations for seismic design criteria, soil bearing pressure, lateral resistance, subgrade preparation for at grade structures, and other design/construction considerations and recommendations.
Deliverable: Geotechnical report

Following selection of a preferred Lovers Point Pier layout alternative in Phase 1 the design team will develop plans, specifications and engineering (PS&E) that will be used in contractor procurement and construction of the project. PS&E will be developed in parallel to the permitting efforts, progressing sufficiently for agency review and comment milestones. Typical design phase milestones are at 30%, 60%, 90% and 100% complete construction documents.
Design Development (30% Plans & Estimate)
The requirements of any grants acquired for the facility will be reviewed to adhere with any compliance standards specifically referenced in their grant program guidelines, such as adherence to ADA access requirements for the pier. Design Development documents will be conceptual in nature to present the key elements of the project, and are anticipated to include the following:
Site plan of conceptual layout for the project
Architectural elevations of proposed pier and improvements Cross-sections of new pier and rock protection
Exhibit highlighting ADA accessible routes, stairs, railing, and beach and water access Preliminary landscape plan highlighting surrounding park area and plant relocation All plans and exhibits will be presented electronically in pdf format, mostly generated in AutoCAD and BIM 360, and in sufficiently high resolution so as to be reproducible in 11x17 sheet size. A new public restroom and improved signage are not envisioned to be part of the improvements, and addition of these elements would need to be negotiated with the City for additional fee for their design and siting within the project limits.

Permitting / Regulatory Strategy
CEQA / EIR
Modifications to the pier are a discretionary action of the City and will require review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Given the project location, sensitive marine environmental, active recreational use, and historic nature of the pier, we anticipate that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be the appropriate form of CEQA documentation for the project. GHD’s Natural Resources & Impact Assessment (NRIA) Group has a long history of successful CEQA compliance in California and will lead preparation of the EIR and supporting technical studies. A detailed scope of work for this effort will be provided and incorporate conclusions and observations from the Environmental Constraints Study conducted under Phase 1 of this scope of work.
Deliverables:
– Administrative / Draft / Final Initial Study (IS) Checklist – Draft / Final EIR with supporting studies and documentation – Public comment period documentation and responses
Permits and Approvals
GHD will assist the City in obtaining permits and authorizations from the state and federal resource agencies, and designated local agencies, as necessary. The full extent of permit application requirements cannot be determined until the final project design is selected and the project area defined. Once the project area is defined, a review of potential regulatory jurisdictional areas will be conducted.
GHD has full capabilities for the permitting that may be required for this project, we support and deliver on all manner of permits and approvals including from the following agencies that may have jurisdiction over the Lovers Point Pier: California Coastal Commission (CCC), CDFW, USACE, and Central Coast RWQCB. Our professional relationships and expert knowledge of CCC process and objectives will support the City in a smooth and expedient application process for the successful acquisition of a CDP. This smooth and expedient process will provide the City with the most cost-effective approach to permitting, not only with the CCC, but with all involved agencies.
Deliverables:
– Pre-application meeting with agencies
– Draft / Final permit applications
Community Outreach
The community outreach strategy developed and implemented in Phase 1 will continue to be implemented in Phase 2, keeping the community appraised of project progress and seeking community feedback. We will make recommendations yet ultimately defer to the City’s preferences regarding the level of outreach deemed advisable for the project.
PG CC 10/4/23
355 of 375
The GHD team includes in-house landscape architects and planning staff to support the community outreach and permitting efforts. Anticipated support efforts include producing multiple renderings of the preferred alternative in support of a Visual Impact Assessment (VIA) to determine the potential significance of impacts under CEQA, and to propose measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse visual impacts associated with the construction of the proposed pier. The VIA will describe the background and proposed key elements of the project, visual and regulatory setting, and provide an impact analysis, and give a determination of significance.
Deliverables:
– Attend up to eight (8) coordination meetings with City – Attend up to two (2) community outreach meetings
– Provide up to four (4) renderings of proposed pier
– Visual Impact Assessment
Phase 3 - Construction Support / Monitoring
Bid Phase Support
GHD’s design and CM teams can provide significant value in the pre-bid, bid and contract award phases of construction projects, including:
Constructability review
This is to ensure the City’s front-end contract documents work in harmony with the PS&E developed by the design team
Contractor recommendation
Based on coastal construction experience we recommend, for a more complex project, that contractors are vetted through the Department of Industrial Relations’ prequalification process.
This mitigates the risk of low bids by contractors who are inexperienced in specialized maritime & coastal construction projects
Pre-bid site meeting
We recommend a mandatory pre-bid site meeting since the construction of projects such as the Lovers Point Pier can be complex and nuanced due to the local coastal and recreation environments. Having a more intimate knowledge of the site enables the bidders to reduce the level of assumptions, thereby reducing bid prices, sometimes significantly.
RFI responses
It is typical for bidders to have questions about the project, GHD will respond to RFI’s by bid addendum.
PG CC 10/4/23
356 of 375
Construction Support
GHD’s construction management (CM) team will work as the City’s representative to manage the construction contract of the project. Our construction observers will perform the following tasks:
– Record daily inspection reports including daily narrative, weather details, bid items performed, site visitors, labor, equipment, materials, field concerns and mitigations, and project correspondence. – Confirm construction operations are conducted pursuant to CAL-OSHA and project-specific health safety and environment plans.
– Confirm construction operations are conducted pursuant to environmental permits. – Confirm construction materials and operations are performed pursuant to the engineering plans and specifications as designed.
– Confirm quality control, quality assurance, and special inspections and testing are completed pursuant to the Specification.
– Measure quantities of work completed or partially completed, including records of materials delivered to the site.
– Photograph the construction operations and site conditions. GHD will also utilize our unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV/drone) to document construction once a week. UAV footage is also excellent for City use in marketing materials.
– Review construction BMPs and report inadequacies.
– Refer public questions to the Resident Engineer or the City, as appropriate. – Develop a Punch List of incomplete construction work to confirm all work under the contract is completed pursuant to the Contract. GHD will confirm all work is completed prior to Final Payment.
Additional construction management tasks will include the following:
– Weekly Meetings
– Requests for Information (RFIs) and Submittals management – Contract Change Order Processing
– SWPPP confirmation
– Progress Payment management
– Special funding agency document requirements.
– Certified Payroll confirmation
– Final construction project report
Special Inspections & Testing
Though the contractor is typically responsible for the bulk of material testing, GHD will perform special inspections for some construction materials. GHD will contract with a testing laboratory to perform quality assurance testing if the CM is not confident in the results provided by the Contractor’s testing firm.
Post-construction Monitoring
It is typical for permitting agencies to require post-construction monitoring for project, in particular in the coastal setting. GHD will manage post-construction monitoring and coordination with agencies as needed.

Agenda No. 13 A
CITY OF PACIFIC GROVE
300 Forest Avenue, Pacific Grove, California 93950
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Gho, Public Works Director/Deputy City Manager MEETING DATE: October 04, 2023
SUBJECT: Backstop Replacement Pacific Grove Municipal Ball Park CEQA: Categorical Exemption, CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Class I, Existing Facilities
RECOMMENDATION
1. Authorize an agreement with Judge netting, Inc. for the design, engineering, and installation of a new backstop at the Pacific Grove Municipal Ball Park in an amount not to exceed $139,300 plus a 5% contingency.
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item
DISCUSSION
The City of Pacific Grove owns and operates the Municipal Ball Park located at 230 17 Mile Drive.
The field is primarily used for youth baseball and softball and serves as the home field for the Pacific Grove High School Breakers’ softball team.
The field and grounds are in decent condition, but the backstop and fencing material has deteriorated and has numerous flaws. The wood on the backstop is cracked and warped, the fencing, poles and clasps are rusting, and the portion of the fencing that overhangs the field is sagging due to weight and failing support beams. The backstop needs to be replaced to ensure a safe playing field.
As part of the FY21/22 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), $24,429 funding was allocated by the City Council to address this need. Funding was derived from the McIndoo Donation Fund ($17,529) and the Yount Income Fund ($7,000). In FY21/22 informal bids were received which significantly exceeded our project budget. The project was deferred as bids were significantly higher than the allocated budget and City staff began to seek grant funding.
The City applied and was awarded a Per Capital Grant from the California Department of Parks & Recreation (Prop 68) in the amount of $96,000 in January 2023. The City's $24,529 contribution will serve as matching funds.
This additional funding allowed the City to bid the project and receive formal proposals. The City issued a Request for Proposals on May 25, 2023 and received one proposal on June 15, 2023.
PG CC 10/4/23

Firm Cost
Judge Netting $139,300
The scope of service will be as follows:
Design and engineer new backstop with netting
Remove and dispose of existing chain link backstop and wood baseboards Install backstop poles and outriggers
Install UV treated baseball netting with rope boarder and cable with associated hardware Install baseboards
The City has utilized the services of Judge Netting numerous times at Pacific Grove Golf Links. They do exceptional work and provide a product that will last for numerous years. Transforming the backstop from chain link to netting will enhance the spectators viewing experience while providing a safer setting.
OPTIONS
1. Do not approve entering into an agreement with Judge Netting. This action would jeopardize the grant which would not allow the City to proceed with future improvements.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This project was originally funded in the FY21/22 CIP with a budget of $24,529, derived from the McIndoo Donation Fund ($17,529) and the Yount Income Fund ($7,000). The City has received a Per Capital Grant from the California Department of Parks & Recreation (Prop 68) in the amount of $96,000. The City's $24,529 contribution will serve as matching funds for a project budget total of $120,529.
Ultimately, the project has a delta of $25,736. Two (2) FY22/23 CIP projects, budgeted with ARPA funds, have yielded project savings that can be harnessed to meet the backstop project funding shortfall.
These projects include the Chautauqua Hall Roof Repair Project and the Fire Department Exhaust System/HVAC & Filtration Cleaning Station Project. Savings from these two projects equal $26,629; As presented in the Budget Modification report on this agenda, Staff is requesting the reallocation of these ARPA funds to the backstop project to allow City Staff to proceed with the necessary improvements.
A budget modification requesting $25,736 will be requested to fund the remaining balance so the project can proceed.

MEETING DATE: October 04, 2023
SUBJECT: Black Oystercatcher Protection Protocol MOU Between City and Monterey Audubon Society
CEQA: Categorical Exemption, CEQA Guidelines Section 15308, Class 8, Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the proposed Black Oystercatcher Protection Protocol Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) between the City and Monterey Audubon Society (MAS) as recommended by the Beautification and Natural Resource Commission (BNRC).
DISCUSSION
The native Black Oystercatcher birds are year-round residents of a vulnerable sliver of Pacific Grove's coast. The Monterey Audubon Society (MAS) has proposed the attached Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to help protect the Black Oystercatchers, especially while nesting, through cooperation with the City. The BNRC considered a preliminary version of this MOU at their 6/20/23 meeting, suggested edits were incorporatedated by Staff and MAS, and the updated MOU was reccommended for approval by the BNRC on 8/15/23. The MOU outlines the protocols designed to provide an orderly appoach to the installation and removal of physical protective measures and/or implementation of other limited measures to maximize succuessful breeding opportunities. Of the approximately 17 nesting territories along the City's coastline, only a small variable number, and in some cases, possibly no territories, may actually require physical protective measures. This MOU provides the City and the Monterey Audubon Society with the framework to respond quickly and collaboratively to protect the nesting sites of the Black Oystercatchers.
OPTIONS
Do nothing.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with entering this MOU.

1 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
between the
City of Pacific Grove
and
MONTEREY AUDUBON SOCIETY
regarding
BLACK OYSTERCATCHER PROTECTION PROTOCOL
I. PARTIES
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is entered into by and between the City of Pacific Grove (herein referred to as the “City”), and the Monterey Audubon Society (herein referred to as “Monterey Audubon”).
II. PURPOSE
The purpose of this protocol is to help protect the Black Oystercatcher (herein also referred to as “BLOY”), a bird of conservation concern and a year-around resident along the coastline of the City through a partnership initiative between the Parties, and to provide an orderly approach to installation and removal of physical protective measures and/or implementation of other limited measures including but not limited to docent activities and public education, intended to help with the conservation of the species. This is a protocol developed by the City and Monterey Audubon. NOTE: Of the 17 Black Oystercatcher nesting territories along the City’s coastline, only a variable number of territories, and in some cases depending on the season, possibly no territories, may actually require physical protection protocols to maximize the birds successful breeding opportunities.
III. BACKGROUND
A. California Coastal Act of 1976. The California Coastal Act of 1976 explicitly grants protection of fragile natural resources priority over public access (see Appendix A). As the California Coastal Act states, any conflicts between protection and access are to be resolved “in a manner which on balance is the most protective of significant coastal resources.” B. BLOY Project & the Black Oystercatcher. A brief statement of the California Central Coast Black Oystercatcher Project (also referred to herein as “BLOY Project”) and the BLOY Project’s partners, area, and goals is provided in Appendix B, and Appendix C provides basic information on the importance and life-history parameters of the Black Oystercatcher (Haematopus bachmani).
IV. PROTECTIVE APPROACH
A. Adaptive Management. The Parties will use an approach that allows for the implementation of proven protective measures for the best short-term outcome while learning what works and what does not work in order to determine the best practices for the long term.
B. Short-Term. The Parties will focus on proven physical protective measures using currently available materials and personnel. The BLOY Project and Monterey Audubon will take on the primary role of implementing the needed protection measures (See C. Physical Protection Measures). Where appropriate, this will be supplemented by outreach and public education PG CC 10/4/23
363 of 375
2 efforts (e.g., on-site docents and community science volunteers) coordinated by the BLOY Project in conjunction with Monterey Audubon, California Coastal National Monument, and the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.
C. Physical Protective Measures. Examples of the physical protective measures to be considered are temporary and range from signage to protective fencing:
1. Signs. Signage provides important information about what is being protected and why it is being protected. Of a variety of signage options, only a few types of signs are in current use by the BLOY Project:
a. Laminated Signs. The primary option will be laminated signs. These signs can be posted on existing fences, attached to A-frames or temporary poles or stakes, and affixed to ropes or lattice fencing as needed.
b. Aluminum Enamel Signs. As an example, the City of Pacific Grove has worked in the past with the Bureau of Land Management’s California Coastal National Monument on placing “Respect Wildlife” aluminum enamel signs at Point Pinos. The California Coastal National Monument developed and had the signs made, but in order to maintain a consistent look, the City provided and placed the base for each sign (wooden 4” x 4” base with a wooden 45° angle platform to which the sign is attached) for each sign. c. Other Signs. In addition to the previously mentioned signage, other appropriate signs may be developed and approved by the Parties.
2. Traffic A-Frames. Traffic A-frames, used throughout the City for a variety of purposes, offer a quick option where other measures may not be feasible. They can be put up rapidly and easily, and a paper or laminated sign can be attached to them. As needed, caution tape can be strung between them for a short time until a more appropriate protective measure can be put in place.
3. Ropes. Ropes, especially twisted manila or sisal natural fiber ropes, provide a flexible option where other protective measures may not be feasible. Laminated signs can be attached to ropes, and ropes can be easily installed and taken down. They can be tied or attached to rocks or even strung from stakes or other appropriate means at ground level so that they are visible only when someone is in the immediate area.
4. Rods & Cable. Metal rods with eyelets and cable, as used along many City and State Park coastal trails, provide a more effective, aesthetic protective measure than traffic A-frames or ropes. With rods & cable, fewer signs may be needed.
5. Wooden Snow Fencing. Wooden snow fencing can be used in situations where human safety, as well as protection for nesting birds or roving chicks, may be needed. It is a flexible method that can be quickly rolled out.
6. Lattice Fencing. If installed appropriately, lattice fencing is attractive, and sturdier than most of the previously mentioned measures. When needed, it can be used to cover gaps in the City’s permanent rail fencing and/or attached to existing fencing in order to limit people PG CC 10/4/23
364 of 375
3 from going through or over the permanent fencing.
7. Other Protective Measures. Consideration will also be given to other physical protective measures not listed here but that may be identified in the future and could be effectively applied in appropriate situations. This could include anything from the installation of wildlife trail cameras to interpretive panels to additional rail fencing.
D. Drones. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), commonly referred to as drones (and hereafter referred to as “drones”), are a documented cause of disturbance to Black Oystercatchers; Therefore, drone use, as authorized under City Ordinance 11.72, should be limited to operators with valid City issued permits. When available, the BLOY Project and Monterey Audubon Society are willing to assist with the monitoring of City authorized drone events and activities.
V. CONTACT REPRESENTATIVES
A. Contact Representatives for Involved Parties. The following persons will serve as the formal contacts representing the Parties involved in the Black Oystercatcher protective protocol:

B. General Procedure. The following general procedure will be followed, unless the Parties agree that an exception should be made:
1. Pre-Breeding Season.
a. Before April 1, the three representatives will discuss what, when, and where protective measures may be anticipated for the upcoming Black Oystercatcher breeding season along the City’s coastline. This can be accomplished via email, conference call, or meeting, depending on which of these protective measures for any particular year or situation are agreed upon by the three representatives. The City Representative will be responsible for initiating this annual action.
b. The three representatives will determine what:
(1) protective measures (e.g., signing and lattice fencing) are needed to be put in place at specific known nesting sites prior to nesting and what each Party will provide in the form of materials and personnel;
PG CC 10/4/23
367 of 375
6 (2) precautionary measures are needed to ensure that the nesting pairs are not impacted by the installation of the specific protective measures; and (3) immediate interim protection measures may be applied in the event that they are needed for a location on City property not specifically addressed. c. Once the three representatives agree on what protective measures will be implemented, and no later than April 15, they will briefly outline and sign-off on an annual pre-season plan. (This can be accomplished via email). d. All reasonable steps, including having a Black Oystercatcher monitor, when appropriate, on-site, will be taken to assure that the installation and removal of agreed upon prebreeding season measures do not impact the Black Oystercatchers.
2. Breeding Season.
a. After April 15, if it is determined by the Subject Matter Expert that a specific Black Oystercatcher nesting area or chicks’ roosting or foraging area on City property is in need of protection, the Subject Matter Expert will see that the agreed upon protection measures are carried out and will keep the Audubon representative and the City representative informed of the actions taken or what assistance is needed from them. b. If the annual pre-season plan identifies a specific physical protection measure or specific measures at a specific location that warrant approval by all three Parties prior to installation, the Subject Matter Expert will during the breeding season, determine when and if that or those specific measures are needed and contact the City representative and the Audubon representative to discuss:
(1) the need and urgency of the situation;
(2) the protective measures to be taken; and
(3) how soon the protective measures are needed.
c. When the three representatives agree on the specific action, they will briefly outline and sign-off on the agreed upon implementation (This can be accomplished via email). d. If a specific location is no longer in need of protective measures (e.g., nest failure and no indication of re-nesting is observed), the Subject Matter Expert will inform the City representative and the Audubon representative, and the protective measures for that specific location can be removed.
3. End of Breeding Season.
a. In September, the Subject Matter Expert will inform the City representative and the Audubon representative when the breeding season has ended and all remaining protective measures can be removed.
PG CC 10/4/23
368 of 375
7 b. After the Subject Matter Expert has informed the City representative and the Audubon representative that the breeding season has ended, the three representatives will meet in order to debrief on what protective measures worked and which ones either did not work or could be improved upon, as well as identifying other protective actions, physical or administrative, needed to enhance the program. Information from these meetings will be used for improving and developing future measures.

California Central Coast Black Oystercatcher Project
Project Partners. The California Central Coast Black Oystercatcher Project (BLOY Project) is part of a California coast-wide, multi-year effort coordinated by Monterey Audubon, and formerly Audubon California, in conjunction with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), U.S. Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) California Coastal National Monument (CCNM), California State Parks (Mendocino Coast, Monterey, and Morro Coast Districts), and five Audubon chapters (Mendocino Coast, Madrone, Marin, Monterey, and Morro Coast).
The BLOY Project is conducted as a citizen science effort overseen by Monterey Audubon and coordinated by the CCNM in partnership with the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History (a CCNM Collaborative Partner) and California State Parks (a CCNM Core-Managing Partner). Additional collaborators include Point Lobos Docents and the Bay Net Volunteer Naturalist Program of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (a CCNM Collaborative Partner).
Project Area. The BLOY Project includes the XXXXX coastline and covers the area from the south side of Point Lobos State Natural Reserve on the southern coast of the Monterey Bay region to the north side of Pescadero State Beach on the northern coast of the Monterey Bay region.
Project Goals. The statewide California Black Oystercatcher Project is a large-scale, standardized, citizen-science based effort directed toward the following goals:
1. Gather demographic data on this little studied keystone predator of the California intertidal ecosystem, necessary to establish a solid demographic number from which to measure population stability or decline;
2. Monitor reproductive success for at least ten years in order to obtain a sample robust enough to document any trends in reproductive success of this species of conservation concern and compare these data with other rocky intertidal marine species within the same areas in order to assess the long-term health of the rocky ecosystems affected by such factors as sea-level rise, ocean acidification, climate change, and human disturbance;
3. Assess management and outreach actions that directly protect and improve nesting sites and habitat;
4. Determine what causes loss of eggs and chicks in some areas and high success rates in other areas;
5. Develop partnerships to share key information among agencies and scientists seeking to address questions about climate change impacts to coastal assemblages; and
6. Identify conservation activities that can be implemented to reduce disturbance to breeding birds, including both physical measures and outreach efforts, and assist with preservation of the species.
PG CC 10/4/23
372 of 375
11 APPENDIX C
Black Oystercatcher: Importance & Life-History Parameters Importance & Listing. The Black Oystercatcher (Haematopus bachmani) is a keystone species along the North Pacific shoreline and is considered a particularly sensitive indicator of the overall health of the rocky intertidal community. This marine shorebird, with its unique appearance, distinctive calls, visibility as an obligate inhabitant of the rocky intertidal zone, and year-round resident of the City of Pacific Grove, is a rich contributor to the City’s world-renowned coastal resource values that are key to the City’s quality of life and robust tourism economy.
The Black Oystercatcher was identified as a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) focal species for priority conservation action because multiple factors make it vulnerable to decline: small global population size, low reproductive success, and complete dependence on rocky intertidal shorelines that are impacted by human use and rising sea levels.
In addition, the Black Oystercatcher is listed as a “species of high concern” within the United States, Canadian, Alaskan, and Northern and Southern Pacific shorebird conservation plans. The USFWS has also listed it as a “Bird of Conservation Concern.” The 1988 amendment to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act mandates the USFWS to “identify species, subspecies, and populations of all migratory nongame birds that, without additional conservation actions, are likely to become candidates for listing under the Endangered Species Act of 1973.”
Range & Population Size. The California coast is a critical part of the Black Oystercatcher range, which extends from the Aleutian Islands to Baja California. The total population is estimated to be about 12,000, while the population along the 1100-mile California coast is estimated to be about 4,000 (inventory in 2011).
Pre-Breeding Activities. Pre-breeding season activities begin as early as February when copulation attempts may begin. During March and April, pairs can be observed doing rock tossing and nest scraping around their known nesting sites and in other locations within their respective territories.
Breeding Season. Black Oystercatcher breeding season is from April through September. For the California Central Coast, egg laying usually begins in late April and runs through late June.
Nests & Eggs. Black Oystercatchers nest above the high tide line on offshore rocks, rocky shores, and sand/gravel beaches. The typical nest is a bed of rock flakes, pebbles, and shell fragments, pulled into a low bowl. Black Oystercatchers lay 1 to 3 eggs, with 2 being the average. Incubation ranges from 26 to 32 days and is shared by both the male and female.
Chicks. Chicks are able to walk almost immediately after hatching. Hatchling chicks will be brooded nearly continuously for the first couple of days and intermittently for the following week. When not brooded, chicks are always attended by at least one parent. Chicks are very mobile and move around the area of the nesting site, following the parents down to the wrack (seaweed level) at low tide. Even young chicks may move as far as 30 to 50 meters from the nesting site.
Fledglings. Black Oystercatcher chicks fledge (develop the ability to fly) within 38 to 40 days. Fledglings can spend from 3 to as much as 6 months with their parents in order to learn basic foraging and survival PG CC 10/4/23

12 skills, before the parents chase them out of their territory in order prepare for the new breeding season.
Fledglings continue to develop foraging skills for at least 12 months; sub-adults may require more than three years to master a complete repertoire of efficient foraging skills comparable to those of adults.
Food & Feeding. Black Oystercatchers feed on a variety of intertidal invertebrates including limpets, mussels, chitons, crabs, barnacles, and other small intertidal animals. Black Oystercatcher chicks are fed by their parents until they are close to fledging. At that time, the large chick will start to be capable of foraging to some degree on its own. The parents initially feed tiny young by bringing them pieces of shellfish meat small enough for the chicks to consume. A chick will take the food either directly from the parent’s beak or from the ground where the parent intentionally drops it. Older chicks and fledglings that have developed some minimal foraging skills will still take food from their parents’ beaks whether or not the food is offered to them.
Pair Bonds. It takes 4 to 5 years for a Black Oystercatcher to reach breeding age; after that, strong pair bonds are formed. With an estimated life span of about 10 to 15 years, each adult may then have 5 to 10+ years to replace itself in order for the population to remain stable. Black Oystercatchers usually mate for life, but re-mating can occur.
Territories. Black Oystercatchers are highly territorial. Once a pair has formed, they face establishing a territory in an environment where other Black Oystercatcher pairs already occupy most of the prime habitat. Once a territory is established, the pair will vigorously defend it from all other Black Oystercatchers. A map of BLOY territories as they appeared during the 2022 nesting season be found on page 12.

Fledging Success. In January 2018, National Audubon completed an assessment of Black Oystercatcher literature (primarily from Alaska and British Columbia) and development of an initial population model.
Based on their analysis, they hypothesize that annual reproductive success (no. of fledglings/no. of breeding pairs) greater than about 0.70 (70%) is likely a good sign for a local population, while reproductive success of less than about 0.35 (35%) indicates a population at risk. For the past four breeding seasons (2014-2017), the reproductive success rate for the Black Oystercatcher pairs monitored on the southern coast of the Monterey Bay region (i.e., South Coast Study Area) has ranged from 0.14 to 0.21 (14% to 21%), while the pairs monitored on the northern coast of Monterey Bay region (i.e., North Coast Study Area) ranged from 0.82 to 1.40 (82% to 140%). Thus, while the North Coast is doing very well, the South Coast — including the City of Pacific Grove coastline — is faring very poorly. For comparison, the overall success rate for the entire California coast is about 0.45 (45%).
