Port of Redwood City, CA Marine Terminal Plan

Background and Need BACKGROUND The Port of Redwood City plays a key role in Bay area Port infrastructure system Experiencing steady cargo growth, specifically related to dry bulk cargoes Nearly 2.0 Million tons per year handled in FY2005 It is anticipated growth and demand will continue into the future Reliability and stability of Port facilities critical to sustaining operations and attracting new tenants that will foster continued growth Wharves 1 and 2 HS&G/CEMEX Yard SIMS Metal Wharves 3 and 4

Background and Need NEED for MARINE TERMINAL PLAN Focus for Marine Terminal Plan is the redevelopment of Wharves 1 and 2 Wharves 1 and 2 are critical to present and future cargo activity at the Port Berth conflicts between Wharves 1 and 2 and the cement berth demand attention. Need to partially accommodate two ships simultaneously to increase efficiency and berth capacity. Wharves 1 and 2 present condition: Timber construction, original wharf constructed in 1937 Several Wharf and Transit Shed expansion projects since inception Extensive repairs, upgrades and replacements to pile system completed in 1979 Wharf system now significantly deteriorated; in need of replacement Piles support system suspect – no known inspections or upgrades since 1979 project, Timber deck worn and considered unsafe for vehicle traffic in many areas, Timber vehicle approach ramp and access walkway are deteriorated and not functional, Timber fender system collapsing and inadequate for vessel berthing, and Flooding under landward seawall prevalent at high tides.

Marine Terminal Plan Three-Phase Approach Phase 1 – Completed October 3, 2005 Phase 1 – Completed October 3, 2005 Objective: Review cargo data and Port physical layout to determine the best use for Wharves 1 and 2 within the framework of the overall Port. Phase 2 – Completed November 16, 2005 Phase 2 – Completed November 16, 2005 Objective: Develop an efficient, cost effective and constructible Marine Terminal Plan that responds to the best current and projected use identified for Wharves 1 and 2. Phase 3 – Completed February 28, 2006 Phase 3 – Completed February 28, 2006 Objective: Further expand the Phase 2 conceptual plans and cost estimate and provide a plan for moving forward with the redevelopment project.

Wharf Redevelopment Plan Combination barge/ship fenders spaced along length of proposed wharf Combination barge/ship fenders spaced along length of proposed wharf Elevation to match existing timber wharf, slope access ramps to existing grade Elevation to match existing timber wharf, slope access ramps to existing grade Storm water runoff contained on wharf and directed to land along access ramps Storm water runoff contained on wharf and directed to land along access ramps Repair/replace landward seawall Repair/replace landward seawall

Demolition Plan Recommend complete removal of existing timber wharf system Recommend complete removal of existing timber wharf system –Overall, long term cost savings for demolition –Maintenance cost savings related to retaining deteriorating structures –Existing wharf stability is suspect, safety issues –Environmental benefit of removing old, creosote impregnated piles and deteriorating timber platform

Interim Conveyor Plan Relocate ship-unloading operations away from RMC/CEMEX Relocate ship-unloading operations away from RMC/CEMEX Demolition of Warehouse #1 NOT required Demolition of Warehouse #1 NOT required Realignment/modifications to HS&G/CEMEX yard NOT required Realignment/modifications to HS&G/CEMEX yard NOT required Low cost solution to help (partially) mitigate berth conflict issues Low cost solution to help (partially) mitigate berth conflict issues –May initially utilize portable equipment on existing wharf, prior to reconstruction –Viable alternative for permanent system if HS&G/CEMEX does not realign yard
