During Hurricane Milton, the timber observation pier over the Halifax River was compromised at the east side of Sickler Park. The work on the observation pier is to generally include replacing the timber bents, joists, deck boards, railings, and three light assemblies. The existing timber piles of the damaged pier appear to be in acceptable condition, so the replacement bents and joist will be reattached to those piles. Contractor to apply Loctite 271 to all new through rods. There was approximately 102 LF of a 2 FT tall concrete seat wall that was damaged. This wall will be reconstructed with split face concrete block and finished with a 3" thick cap. In addition, five existing parking spaces were slightly undermined, so 180 SF of base and asphalt is to be replaced. Each parking stall will be restriped, and a curb stop will be placed. Approximately 5,456 SF of upland is going to be filled, compacted, and graded, including the installation of geotechnical mat and finished with sod. Approximately 107 LF of aluminum picket handrail is to be replaced along the existing seawall. Marine protection signs and monofilament recycling bin and signage installation will need to be completed. Contractor to acquire necessary permits from the City to complete the project.
