Beach Road stabilization project estimated at $3.79M; committee discusses phasing and alternates
Summary
Staff described the Beach Road stabilization project, estimated at $3.79 million and planned to start in FY 25–26 with funding primarily from the critical infrastructure reserve. Members discussed bid alternates and design options to manage volatile construction costs.
Staff presented the Beach Road stabilization project as the largest capital item in the near-term program, with a current estimate of $3,790,000 and a planned construction start in FY 25–26 with completion in FY 26–27. The estimate is based on recent comprehensive cost assessments and staff said the majority of expected funding would come from the critical infrastructure reserve.
Members and staff discussed several risk‑management measures to limit exposure to volatile materials prices and constructability unknowns: structuring bid alternates for multiple project segments, purchasing some materials early when feasible, and adjusting design parameters (for example, sheet-pile depth and thickness) during final design. Staff said alternates allow the city to scale the project up or down depending on realized funding and bid results.
