RE: PROPOSAL FOR PORT OF RICHMOND CONCEPTUAL DESIGN AND PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR OFFSHORE WIND Dear Mr. Gerard and Members of the Selection Committee:
The Port of Richmond (Port) is well positioned to play a critical role in the development of the offshore wind (OSW) supply chain on the US West Coast, as there is a shortage of suitable port infrastructure to meet OSW deployment goals and manufacturing at both federal and state levels. This conceptual design and preliminary design phase is critical to position the Port for OSW industry use and additional funding through state, federal and private sources. The Moffatt & Nichol team is best positioned to support the Port on this assignment, given our experience delivering similar OSW port infrastructure projects combined with our in-depth knowledge of the Port’s existing infrastructure.
Our Oakland and Walnut Creek offices have a combined 50 local port infrastructure experts who stand ready to serve the Port on this assignment. We have assembled a strong team to address all aspects of the project scope. In addition to Moffatt & Nichol, our team includes:
» Kearns & West – Community Engagement and Tribal Government Engagement » BW Research Partnership Inc. – Workforce Development Strategy » ENGEO, Inc. – Geotechnical Engineering and Investigations » Towill, Inc. – Topographic Surveys, Utility Locations, Site Surveys » Woolpert, Inc. (formerly eTrac) – Bathymetric Surveys » Power Engineering Construction, Co. – Inspection Boats and Inspection Access Our team is well qualified for this assignment. Not only have we studied the port infrastructure and supply chain needs to support the OSW industry, Moffatt & Nichol has also designed major port infrastructure upgrade projects to be used for staging and integration, manufacturing / fabrication, and operation / maintenance for the OSW industry. This experience spans from concept and feasibility level studies to detailed engineering and construction services, working with wind developers, supply chain stakeholders, port infrastructure owners, and governmental agencies. Through these projects, our team has come to understand the critical factors necessary to select and develop port infrastructure to support the OSW industry. We are serving several other Ports in California to deliver projects funded by the CEC GFO-24-701 OSW Energy Waterfront Facility Improvements Program and therefore well positioned to deliver the scope in compliance with the grant requirements.
This CEC funded work is an important step to position the Port of Richmond at the forefront of the OSW industry on the West Coast. We have the capacity to serve as the lead program manager to oversee all aspects of this work in close partnership with the Port staff and the City of Richmond. We are excited for the opportunity to be a part of this important assignment and look forward to the next steps in your process.

PORT OF RICHMOND // 2. UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORK // 2 P242864
2. UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORK
CALIFORNIA OSW BACKGROUND
The State of California is committed to achieving 100% clean electricity by 2045. OSW energy is central to this objective, with state-level targets of deploying 25 GW of total installed capacity by 2045. To achieve these goals, purpose-built port and waterfront infrastructure is essential.
Ports must support the full life cycle of OSW farm developments, including component manufacturing, staging, assembly, deployment, operations and maintenance. Recognizing this, Assembly Bill (AB) 525 directed the California Energy Commission (CEC) to develop a strategic plan focused on port readiness and infrastructure development to support OSW deployment.
The AB 525 Strategic Plan emphasizes that existing port infrastructure in California lacks the capacity to support the scale of OSW development targeted. Individual turbines are projected to range from 12 to 25 MW, with commercial-scale projects comprising over 100 turbines. The transportation of these components, due to their size and weight, can only be feasibly conducted via maritime routes, necessitating robust manufacturing, staging, integration, and laydown capabilities at California ports.
In response, the OSW Energy Waterfront Facility Improvement Program, implemented under Assembly Bill (AB) 209, was established to fund port improvements. The program outlines three funding categories:
» Category I: Development of retrofit concepts and investment plans. » Category II: Final design, environmental reviews, and construction of infrastructure retrofits. » Category III: Cost-share funding for applicants receiving federal awards aligned with Category I or II objectives.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The Port of Richmond was awarded $750,000 in its application to Category I funding (GFO-24-701-01) to conduct conceptual design and preliminary engineering studies for OSW terminal development at key port sites, including Terminal 2, Terminal 3, and the Point Potrero Marine Terminal. This project aims to accomplish the following goals:
» Identify port sites that are suitable for OSW industry use. » Assess existing infrastructure within the identified project site boundaries and identify required improvements to support selected OSW activities.
» Advance conceptual design and preliminary engineering to at least a 30% design level. » Establish a solid foundation to support future investment, permitting, and funding decisions. » Conduct early community, agency, and stakeholder engagement to establish communication channels and collaborative relationships. This means the project will be inclusive and reflect community priorities, support economic opportunities, and state’s broader clean energy and workforce development goals. » Position the Port of Richmond to contribute to California's clean energy transition while creating local job opportunities.
The assessment will evaluate all Port properties with a focus on the approximately 216 acres at Terminal 2, Terminal 3, and the Point Potrero Marine Terminal. The work includes assessing available or potentially available sites to support OSW port and facility activities such as:
» Manufacturing and fabrication of OSW turbine components (e.g., blades, nacelles, towers, floating foundations, mooring components, cables, etc.)
» Operations and maintenance (O&M) facilities and berths » Component laydown and logistics hub
» Other OSW site uses as identified as part of the study and industry outreach Currently, no single port in California can meet all industry requirements, and according to GFO-24-701-01 grant funding solicitation, up to 16 large and 10 small purpose-built ports may be needed statewide to support full industry buildout over the next decade. The Port of Richmond's strategic location in the San Francisco Bay, extensive berth availability, access to deep-water navigation channels, and a strategic position within the San Francisco Bay, near the five existing California OSW

TOPOGRAPHIC/SITE SURVEY , SUBSURFACE UTILITIES
PORT OF OAKLAND, BERTHS 55 THROUGH 59 WHARF UPGRADE, OAKLAND, CA . As part of the scope of work for engineering support of upgrades to Berths 55 through 59, Towill conducted project survey control, setting five semi-permanent monuments along the wharf. These surveys were tied to control points based on the old Port86 coordinate system (as based on densification surveys from points shown on Record of Survey 990). This project, done in 2021, experienced challenges with scheduling the work, as this is an active maritime terminal. Frank served as Towill’s project manager, designing the field survey, coordinating with the client about access challenges, and overseeing data processing and the development of the Survey Control Sheet.
PORT OF OAKLAND, MARITIME AND COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE PHOTOGRAMMETRIC BASE MAPPING, OAKLAND, CA . This project required a high-accuracy geodetic control survey and a master CAD/GIS geodatabase base map that represents commonly referenced airport, seaport, and general property features. Towill’s services included the geodetic control survey, acquisition and aerotriangulation of stereo aerial photography, stereo digitizing of base map features, and preparation of detailed planimetric/topographic mapping and orthophotography in CAD and GIS deliverable formats. Senior project manager, land surveying task leader, and PLS with duties including oversight of the project design; regular communication and coordination with Towill’s client (including preparation and submittal of monthly progress reports and invoices); managing and monitoring adherence to the project budget and schedule; technical oversight of staff assigned to the project (Towill and subconsultants) to confirm that their work conformed to scope of work requirements; and implementation of various QA/QC functions throughout the duration of the project.
PORT OF OAKLAND, MARITIME STREET SEWER TRUNK REPLACEMENT , OAKLAND, CA . Due to failing sanitary sewer lines in the vicinity of Maritime Street and 7th Street in the Port’s maritime area, Towill was originally tasked with conducting a topographic field survey of the intersection and approximately 200 feet in each direction. All sanitary and storm features had inverts measured, and utility markings done by others were surveyed. All information was combined into a single CAD file compliant with Port of Oakland standards. Additionally, Towill was tasked with developing a boundary line drawing based on best available information. With their history of work at the Port reviewing property acquisition documents, we were able to find existing maps and documents in the project area, in addition to request assistance from the Port Land Surveyor. The resulting boundary drawing showed the existing road ROW, SFBARTD ROW, UPRR ROW, an EBMUD easement, and existing historic property lines. In January 2023, the area was expanded and a topographic field survey was conducted where the existing sewer line heads south, extending the previous topographic survey roughly 1,100 feet along Maritime Street. To support the engineering plan set, a Survey Control Sheet was prepared showing newly set semi-permanent monuments and the existing Port monuments from which the surveys are based.

California Assembly Bill 525 (AB 525) approved September 23, 2021, required the California Energy Commission (CEC), in coordination with the California Coastal Commission (CCC), the Ocean Protection Council, the State Lands Commission (SLC), the Office of Planning and Research, the Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development, the Independent System Operator, and the Public Utilities Commission, and other relevant federal, state, and local agencies as needed, to develop a strategic plan for OSW energy developments installed off the California coast in federal waters.
To support development of the AB 525 Strategic Plan, Moffatt & Nichol was engaged to develop the technical background for the Seaport and Workforce Development portion of the report. Moffatt & Nichol led a consultant team of OSW, port, marine, coastal, environmental, permitting, transportation, workforce development, and supply chain experts. The work on this contract included the following:
» A detailed assessment of the necessary investments in California seaports to support OSW energy activities, including construction, assembly, and O&M. The assessment considered the potential availability of land and water acreage at each seaport, including competing and current uses, infrastructure feasibility, access to deep water, bridge height restrictions, and potentially impacted natural and cultural resources, including coastal resources, fisheries, and Native American and Indigenous peoples.
» An analysis of the workforce development needs of the California OSW energy industry, including occupational safety requirements, the need to require skilled and trained workforce to perform all work, and the need for the Division of Apprenticeship Standards to develop curriculum for in-person classroom and laboratory advanced safety training for workers.
This work included significant outreach to the OSW industry (developers, OEMs, operators, etc.) and existing ports and harbors in California. The work evaluated the proximity of ports to current and future planned OSW energy areas. The seaport chapter evaluated OSW industry port needs, determined required number and size of port sites based on California deployment targets, evaluated the availability and suitability of existing port sites and potential greenfield sites, determined required port infrastructure improvements, evaluated impacts to natural and cultural resources, including coastal resources, fisheries, and Native American and Indigenous peoples, and developed cost estimates and port development timelines.

Moffatt & Nichol served as the prime consultant to support the Port of San Francisco to evaluate the existing Pier 94/96 terminal to support the OSW industry. Pier 94/96 was constructed in the 1960s, featuring deep-draft berths, maintenance and operational buildings, four ship-to-shore container cranes, and on-dock rail with access to the freight rail network. The existing berth depth is maintained at 38 feet at low tide.
Several potential site uses were evaluated for Pier 94/96 to support the OSW industry, including manufacturing of floating foundations, manufacturing of OSW components, construction support, mooring line, anchor, and electrical cable laydown, and use as a home port for operations and maintenance activities for the wind energy area. For this study, the selected alternative was to develop a concept to use Pier 94/96 for the manufacturing of floating foundations and/or wind turbine generator components.
The project area comprises approximately 95 acres of uplands and a new heavy-lift wharf at Pier 94/96. The proposed project includes demolition of the existing wharf and cranes to enable the construction of a new heavy-lift wharf with a design capacity of 6,000 psf. Improvements needed for the uplands area were also analyzed and detailed, e.g., deep soil mixing ground improvements to mitigate liquefaction-induced settlement of the existing slope and reduce lateral spreading during the design seismic event.
Cost estimates and scheduling projections for the proposed site improvements were developed as part of the conceptual engineering study.

The City of Richmond recently embarked on a critical effort to assess the existing infrastructure at the Port of Richmond Point Potrero Marine Terminal. This assessment serves to inform the Port’s strategic plan and support the City of Richmond’s goal to sustain and grow Port operations. The condition assessment includes Berths 7-8 (Auto Terminal), Berths 5-6 (Lay Berth), Graving Basins, and Finger Piers. The Port’s priorities included identifying projects to improve safety and security, providing division between port operations and public amenities and attractions, and completing long-term planning to expand port operations.
The first step to long-term planning is to complete the condition assessment to determine infrastructure needs, priorities, budgetary estimates, and opportunities for expanded operations. The Port of Richmond is a smaller port with limited funding so all work performed on this contract was focused on efficient use of funding to provide significant value for the City of Richmond.
The Kaiser Richmond shipyards at the Point Potrero Marine Terminal, constructed in the 1940s, played a significant role in supporting the war effort during World War II. In 2009, the Port converted some of the facilities into a state-of-the-art roll-on/ roll-off (Ro/Ro) automobile import terminal. However, the Port has other marine infrastructure assets that are underutilized and in need of investment to attract revenue-generating tenants and operators.
Moffatt & Nichol was engaged by the City of Richmond to lead the assessment and long-term planning. Power served as a key subconsultant providing inspection boats and confined space entry oversight for the inspection work.

Moffatt & Nichol was selected by Ørsted (Northeast Offshore, LLC) to complete the detailed design for a wind turbine generation port at the State Pier Complex in New London, Connecticut. This terminal will import, stage, preassemble, and load out turbine, tower, and blade components for large commercial scale OSW installations. The terminal currently imports bulk material and requires significant retrofits and upgrades to the existing marine infrastructure.
As prime consultant, Moffatt & Nichol completed a feasibility study and concept design for this terminal as part of a phase 1 planning study. During this effort, Moffatt & Nichol worked with the developer to gain a firm understanding of the wind turbine generation logistics and component handling requirements. The terminal was designed to accommodate multiple OSW logistics models so that maximum flexibility for various projects and operators could be maintained. The terminal design consisted of 30 acres of uplands and eight acres of marine infrastructure.
Upland design comprised demolition of existing buildings; site grading and compaction; design of a stormwater system; and design of electrical systems, including nacelle plug in ports. Marine infrastructure design consisted of ±1,000-foot heavy lift bulkhead, pile-supported structures to accommodate loads up to 5,000 psf and 800 tons, and seven acres of in-water fill placement between two existing piers. Moffatt & Nichol has worked closely with the appropriate permitting agencies to provide permitting drawings, resources calculations, and technical permitting assistance.

Moffatt & Nichol is the engineer-of-record to upgrade the Oakland International Container Terminal at Berths 55-59 to accommodate ultra-large container vessels (ULCVs) up to 24,000 TEUs. The existing facility was designed for an 8,000 TEU vessel, with Berths 55-56 constructed in 2002 and Berths 57-58 constructed in 2005. Currently, the facility can accommodate vessels up to 18,000 TEUs.
The upgrade project included wharf underdeck and topside inspection, surveying, a berth deepening evaluation, mooring and passing vessel analyses, a berthing analysis, fender design, bollard design, wharf strengthening improvements, cost estimating, project scheduling, construction sequencing and phasing, and construction support services.
Terminal operating limit drawings were developed to provide operational limits for the range of vessels calling at the terminal.
Designing the high capacity bollards required advanced finite element modeling of the bollard base plate and anchorage to confirm adequacy.
The capacity of the existing fenders and bollards was found to be inadequate for the larger vessels. Work includes removing and disposing existing fenders and bollards and installing larger fenders and bollards. The team confirmed quantity, location, and capacity of new bollards to provide optimal mooring arrangements and to ensure the facility can handle the range of vessel sizes anticipated to call on the terminal. Berths 55-56 wharf deck capacities are not adequate to accommodate the larger berthing loads generated by the new fenders and larger vessels. Therefore, we designed wharf strengthening improvements, including structural steel bracing system to transfer fender loads into the waterside crane beam and piles.

ENGAGEMENT AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS
We see clear and successful communication as one of the most critical aspects of successful project management.
Public infrastructure projects often proceed at a rapid pace, and frequent communication between all parties is essential to keep any given project on track. Our team understands that the Port of Richmond may want stakeholder outreach to run through the agency, or our team can take the lead at your direction. To that end, we have engaged the services of Kearns & West (K&W) to lead our public engagement activities.
This is the structure we have used on projects throughout California and across the country, using local firms with strong ties to the local community and know the unique fabric
of the community. We know it is important to distribute information to, and solicit input from, the right people at the right time. A well-planned stakeholder outreach and engagement effort will support and enhance continuous
project progress. Stakeholders will be consulted early on, providing an opportunity to resolve issues that may impede project progress down the road and, potentially, saving the Port of Richmond time and money. Two examples of
K&W's community and Tribal experience are included
over following two pages.
The team will work closely with the Port of Richmond
staff to develop a Community Engagement Strategy
that will serve as the “roadmap” for meaningful, effective engagement with local community members, including
under-resourced communities, throughout the Port Plan
development process. The strategy will identify desired public participation outcomes for the project and detail specific stakeholder communication and engagement
activities to achieve those outcomes. The strategy will include a timeline for implementing engagement activities that is directly connected to the development timelines for the technical work associated with the Project. It will also outline innovative approaches to reach members of
the community and stakeholders that may not ordinarily
participate in the planning process.
K&W will conduct early engagement discussions with key
community organizations and members via virtual informal interviews. The team will work closely with Port staff to develop a list of key interviewees and an interview guide, and identify key interviewees that represent a cross-section of community interests in the region. K&W will prepare
a draft Community Engagement Strategy outline for
the Port’s review. K&W will use this outline to inform the interview guide and make sure that all key engagement
topics needed are addressed. K&W will also conduct
informal interviews, prepare an interview summary report, and develop a final draft Community Engagement Strategy that incorporates key findings from the interviews.

The fact that
insurance is obtained by CONTRACTOR, and/or CONTRACTOR’s subcontractors, will not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONTRACTOR, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this contract. Damages recoverable by CITY from CONTRACTOR or any third party will not be limited by the amount of the required insurance coverage.
Verification of Coverage
All original certificates and endorsements shall be received and approved by the City before work may begin .
The City of Richmond reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies including endorsements affecting the coverage at any time.
Original insurance certificates and required policy endorsements shall be mailed or delivered to the Designated Project Manager for the City of Richmond.
Insurance certificates and endorsements may be faxed to the Designated Project Manger. However, CONTRACTOR must mail the original certificates and endorsements to Designated Project Manager once faxed.
Continuous Coverage
CONTRACTOR shall maintain the required insurance for the life of the contract. Should the CONTRACTOR cease to have insurance as required during this time, all work by the CONTRACTOR pursuant to this agreement shall cease until insurance acceptable to the City is provided. In the event that CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the City’s insurance requirements, the City may take such action as it deems necessary to protect the City’s interests. Such action may include but is not limited to termination of the contract, withholding of payments, or other actions as the City deems appropriate.
If services or the scope of work extend beyond the expiration dates of the required insurance policies initially approved by the City, CONTRACTOR must provide updated certificates and endorsements indicating that the required coverage, terms and conditions are still in place. Renewal certificates and updated endorsements shall be mailed to the Designated Project Manager.
Cancellation
CONTRACTOR shall ensure that coverage shall not be cancelled, reduced or otherwise materially changed except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice has been given to the City.
Reporting Requirements
Any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policies including breaches of warranties shall not affect coverage provided to the City, its officers, officials, employees or volunteers.
Consistent with Public Policy
The insuring provisions, insofar as they may be judged to be against public policy shall be void and unenforceable only to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms and provisions herein may be consistent with public policy and thus enforceable.

EXHIBIT G
SANCTUARY CITY COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
The undersigned, (hereafter "Contractor"), has had an opportunity to review the requirements of City of Richmond Ordinance 12-18 (hereafter "Sanctuary City Contracting Ordinance" or “SCCO”).
Contractor understands and agrees that the City may choose with whom it will maintain business relations and may refrain from contracting with any person or entity that provides Data Broker or Extreme Vetting services to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division of the United States Department of Homeland Security (“ICE”). Contractor understands the meaning of the following terms used in the SCCO:
a. "Data Broker” means either of the following:
i. The collection of information, including personal information about consumers, from a wide variety of sources for the purposes of reselling such information to their customers, which include both private-sector business and government agencies;
ii. The aggregation of data that was collected for another purpose from that for which it is ultimately used.
b. “Extreme Vetting” means data mining, threat modeling, predictive risk analysis, or other similar services."
Contractor understands that it is not eligible to receive or retain a City contract if at the time the Contract is executed, or at any time during the term of the Contract, it provides Data Broker or Extreme Vetting services to ICE.
Contractor further understands and agrees that Contractor's failure to comply with the SCCO shall constitute a material default of the Contract and the City Manager may terminate the Contract and bar Contractor from bidding on future contracts with the City for five (5) years from the effective date of the contract termination.
By executing this statement, Contractor certifies that it complies with the requirements of the SCCO and that if at any time during the term of the Contract it ceases to comply, Contractor will promptly notify the City Manager in writing. Any person or entity who knowingly or willingly supplies false information in violation of the SCCO shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a $1,000 fine.
Based on the foregoing, the undersigned declares under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct.
