Permits, PG&E work and private easements could constrain Beach Road contract start date
Summary
Staff warned the subcommittee that the contract start depends on a pending BCDC permit, PG&E completing utility modifications, and securing temporary easements from three property owners — all factors that affect the in‑water June–October work window and could delay construction to 2027 if not resolved.
Staff emphasized that the project schedule is contingent on several external dependencies: a BCDC permit under review, PG&E utility relocation work on Beach Road, and execution of temporary construction easements from three private property owners whose land the work will enter. The city’s ability to complete the in‑water portion in the June–October window depends on resolving those items first.
"So first of all, permitting. We're waiting for a BCDC permit," Tony Boyd said, noting the commission has a meeting in late April. Boyd also said PG&E is working on modifications to its lines and that staff meets with PG&E biweekly for progress updates. Staff reported one property owner is currently willing to sign, while two others are reviewing easement language.
Committee members agreed that if permits or utility work slip, the city might need to rebid and move the work to the following year, which could increase costs and complicate contractor availability. The committee asked staff to track permitting and PG&E milestones closely and report back at the next check‑in meeting.
