Presently the marine terminal pier's west and north bulkheads are used for vessels up to 250 feet
in length, 50 feet wide, and a draft up to 11 feet(fully laden). The roro ramp is used to support the
vessel's forward ramp during vehicular,bulk,and container operations to and from the apron yard.
Cargo and container vessels calling the terminal tie up against chain supported rubber tires,which
are anchored to the bulkhead cap every five (5)to ten (10) feet.
Recent inspections of the west and north bulkheads indicate an extremely deteriorated state. The
bulkheads have severe wear, localized extreme deterioration of the king piles and pile cap. The
north wall was observed to have a slight lean of approximately 3 to 4 degrees. Roro ramp damage
includes various cracked, spalled, and broken structural elements.

Previously Completed Components
Condition assessments were performed by Mott MacDonald in 2014 and 2015.1 During the 2014
assessment it was observed that, based on the estimated age and degree of deterioration (and
localized damages), the west bulkhead wall system is near the end of its service life. It was also
determined the concrete cap and pile will continue to deteriorate because of normal wear from the
effects berthing maneuvers have on the existing fender system.
During the 2015 assessment a failure in the roro ramp slab and scour hole in the north bulkhead
sheet pile were observed. A repair plan was developed, and a contractor was hired to make the
necessary repairs. Additional findings of the 2015 assessment concluded there is severe damage
to the ramp support piles, the roro end cap is presently operating in a state of reduced structural
capacity, and the ramp extension concrete end cap structural system has been displaced.

On April 26, 2022,the City Commission of Dania Beach approved Resolution 2022-066 to apply
for a PIDP grant with private sector partner SEACOR Island Lines. Subsequently a Cooperative
Endeavor Agreement between the City of Dania Beach and SEACOR Island Lines, LLC was
executed by both parties on May 11, 2022. Resolution 2022-006 and the Cooperative Endeavor
Agreement is in Appendix 6 of this application.
Project Scope of Work
Component 1 - North Bulkhead
The key elements of the north bulkhead replacement include demolition of the existing roro ramp
and its over water extension to expose the north bulkhead cap,construction of a new steel bulkhead
sheet pile system,new roro ramp slab section, new pile supported roro ramp extension capable of
accommodating the cargo ship's operational draft range, tidal range, and berthing demands.
Corrosion protection to the steel sheet piles will consist of epoxy coating and aluminum anodes.
The new bulkhead concrete cap and ramp will be connected to the west bulkhead and the existing
perimeter bulkhead wall located on the adjacent property.
Component 2 - Roro Ramp
6
Pier Rehabilitation and Resiliency Project
FY2022 PIDP Grant Application
City of Dania Beach
The roro ramp is approximately 86 ft wide and consists of a reinforced concrete slab which is
partially supported by a graded base where the ramp's lower end (extension beyond the on-grade
ramp)is supported by concrete piles just above the water line.The north bulkhead is located behind
the supporting piles, underneath the overhanging ramp section. The ramp extension is partially
comprised of a pile supported concrete cap located waterward of the bulkhead, which retains the
upland soil and extends the width of the ramp between the west bulkhead and north bulkhead wing
wall. The roro ramp extension cap has two broken support piles. The roro ramp in its present
geometric configuration has caused some operational limitations associated with the allowable
range of motion that is feasible for vessel ramps, depending on the draft of the vessel and height
of tide. Roro ramp replacement will take place during the construction of the west bulkhead.
Component 3 - West Bulkhead Wall
The west bulkhead wall extends approximately 530 feet. It consists of two types of reinforced
concrete king piles and lagging panel walls; one type is made up of anchored precast flanged
concrete king piles with intermediate precast concrete panels located between the king pile flanges,
and the other type is made up of precast square concrete king piles with precast concrete panels
located directly behind the king piles. The end of the west bulkhead wall transitions into an
anchored steel sheet pile wall belonging to the south bulkhead wall. The concrete king piles are
restrained by steel anchor rods which are restrained by an unknown anchor. The top of the
bulkhead(s) consists of a reinforced cast-in-place concrete cap which encases the top of the king
piles and panels along its perimeter; the cap was constructed in keyed sections (construction
joints). The bulkhead cap supports the existing fendering system along the west bulkhead, which
consists of chain supported rubber tires anchored to the bulkhead cap at each king pile location.
The key elements of the west bulkhead and roro ramp replacement will include construction of a
new 538 ft bulkhead directly in front of the existing bulkhead consisting of an anchored steel sheet-
pile wall with a reinforced concrete cap. Corrosion protection to the steel sheet piles will consist
of epoxy coating and aluminum anodes. A concrete cap design capable of adequately
accommodating new anchor rods, steel sheet piles,and fender system will be provided.Additional
new construction elements include a new fendering system to support berthing operations and also
protect/prevent damage to primary bulkhead structural members, new mooring bollards whose
type and location are designed to support defined design vessel mooring configuration and load
demand, and apron rehabilitation and improvements to restore areas impacted by bulkhead
construction activities and address present and future container storage, container/bulk handling
equipment, and general terminal operational requirements.
Leveraging Other Project/Initiatives/Investments
The south bulkhead of the SIL marine terminal pier was replaced in 2015 due to the presence of
severe deterioration and several broken retaining anchor rods. This project component also
included construction of a new steel sheet pile bulkhead wall, concrete apron, concrete crane pad,
new tire fenders, mooring bollards, and utility infrastructure improvements.
Dredging of the Dania Cut-Off Canal by the Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) occurred
in 2013, which resulted in the canal being deepened to -17ft MLLW.

Effect on the Movement of Goods
Originally constructed around 1960, the SIL marine terminal pier consists of an asphalt/concrete
apron yard, a west and north bulkhead, a south bulkhead, and a concrete roro ramp. Recent
inspections of the west and north bulkheads indicate an extremely deteriorated state. The
bulkheads have severe wear, localized extreme deterioration of the king piles and pile cap. The
north wall was observed to have a slight lean of approximately 3 to 4 degrees. Roro ramp damage
includes various cracked, spalled, and broken structural elements. Maintaining these assets
operational will require substantial infusion of funds over the next four years and a continuous
infusion of$.5 million annually over the remainder of the estimation period. Additionally, there
exists the possibility that even with these infusions of funds,the assets will cease to be operational
in the 30-year estimation period. Rebuilding these assets now will result in new bulkheads and a
roro ramp that will operate more efficiently during the estimation period and will remain functional
for decades after the end of the 30-year estimation period.

BASELINE: Continue to repair the assets and incur substantial maintenance costs in doing so. At
the same time, this might still not be enough to maintain the assets operational during the
estimation period.
REBUILD: Rebuild the assets and save considerable sums on maintenance while effectively
extending the life of the assets at least another 30 years after the analysis period. As previously
noted, the expected benefits from the projects are reduced net maintenance costs, extended asset
life, and resiliency.

Level
BCA Methodology
The Benefit-Cost Analysis (BCA) conducted for this grant application compares the costs
associated with the proposed investment to the benefits of the project. To the extent possible,
benefits have been monetized. Where not possible to assign a dollar value to a benefit,efforts have
been made to quantify it. A qualitative discussion is also provided when a benefit is anticipated to
be generated but is not easily monetized or quantified.
The period of analysis used in the estimation of the project's benefits and costs includes two years
of construction (2023 — 2024) and an additional 28 years of operations (2025 — 2052). The total
project capital costs (construction, right of way, and other) are $6.87 million discounted over the
first two years of construction ($7.1 million in undiscounted) in 2020 dollars. The project is
expected to generate $9.21 million in discounted benefits Therefore, the project is expected to
generate a Net Present Value of$2.34 million and a Benefit-Cost Ratio of 1.34 at a seven percent
discount rate.
The period of analysis used in the estimation of the project's benefits and costs includes two
years of construction(2023 —2024) and an additional 28 years of operations (2025 —2052). The
30 years is consistent with USDOT guidance for full reconstruction.
Costs & Benefits
The total project capital costs are$6.87 million discounted over the first three years of construction
($7.1 million in undiscounted) in 2020 dollars. O&M costs for the rebuild add up to nearly $.94
million (discounted) and are netted out of O&M costs for the baseline to derive the O&M benefit
for the project (i.e., O&M baseline minus O&M Rehab) of $8.75 million discounted at seven
percent. The following table reports discounted capital costs and O&M costs under the rebuild
scenario, as well as discounted O&M costs under the baseline scenario by year over the 30-year
period of analysis. The accompanying spreadsheet provides more detail, including on the
undiscounted costs (BCA Results Tab rows 11-14) and the breakout of capital and O&M costs
(Costs Tab).

Table 5 Project Cost Summary,2020 Dollars Discounted at Seven percent
The residual value for the project is about $.466 million. The basis is a 60-year useful life with
half of the upfront construction cost remaining at the end of the evaluation period (about $3.55
million undiscounted). The analysis then discounts this value to arrive at the $.466 million
remaining value ($3.55 million/(1.07)^30)
In addition to the benefits that have been readily quantified and monetized,the project will further
provide benefits from improved resiliency from major hurricanes that could occur in the future in
the face of global warming.

Table 7 Overall Results of the Benefit-Cost Analysis,Millions of 2020 Dollars Discounted Seven Percent
BCA Sensitivity Analysis
The quantified BCA results are entirely based on state of good repair improvements. The
unquantified benefits are subject to some uncertainty and for the purpose of this analysis were not
quantified but are expected to be positive. This would increase the benefit-cost ratio.
Conversely,there may be some limited uncertainty to project completion timeline and O&M costs
under the baseline and rebuild scenarios. For example, if O&M costs under the rebuild were
greater than currently estimated the benefit-cost ratio would be less. However, there is substantial
wiggle room and the discounted differences in O&M costs (any scenario) could vary by up to
$2.34 million (nearly percent of the net O&M benefits) and the benefit-cost ratio would still be
greater than one even before considering the non-quantified benefits. Further,while not separately
discussed here the benefit-cost ratio under a three percent discount rate is substantially higher and
allows for even further wiggle room.
Addressing Climate Change and Environmental Justice Impacts
SIL is dedicated to addressing the issues of climate change and environmental justice, and this
project has been designed with these challenges in mind:
1. Rehabilitating the existing pier recycles current assets and allows the City and SIL to prepare
for sea level rise and make accommodations needed to protect both City and SIL assets.
2. All bulkhead construction will be up to code and able to withstand the increasing strength of
future storms.
14
Pier Rehabilitation and Resiliency Project
FY2022 PIDP Grant Application
City of Dania Beach
3. The project incorporates resiliency measures for disaster preparedness and mitigation by
making repairs to infrastructure necessary to deploy equipment and personnel to areas
especially vulnerable to natural disasters, improving future disaster response and recovery
operations.
Once completed, this project will give rise to increased cargo volumes traveling via water
transport, resulting in a modal shift from truck to vessel. This in turn will reduce road congestion,
truck emissions, and highway maintenance costs, as studies have shown transport by vessel has a
significantly lower environmental impact compared to over the road vehicles.
Advancing Racial Equity and Reducing Barriers to Opportunity
This project will provide jobs for persons facing racial equity barriers,SIL is an Affirmative Action
company committed to hiring diversity and incorporates internal policies to support this. Below
are operational statistics to illustrate our ability to provide persons facing racial equity barriers:

This project does not require approval and permits from other agencies, not is it dependent upon
US Army Corps of Engineers investments or planned activities.
VI. Domestic Preference
All construction materials will comply with Domestic Preference requirements for the civil work
associated with the Project and maximize domestic content for constructing the bulkheads, and
roro ramp. All requested components will require domestic preference for steel, cement, bollards,
fenders, steel sheet piles, etc.
The wharf can and will be constructed with U.S. domestically sourced materials and products, to
the extent practicable, based on SIL's prior experience with sourcing of similar items for port
infrastructure projects. If selected for a grant award, the availability of the items to comply with
Domestic Preference requirements would be specified and determined during construction
tendering.
This project will include several Request for Proposals (RFPs) written and distributed, requiring
all Domestic Preference guidelines for the PIDP program be met. All RFPs will require bidders to
agree to and prove they will be able to meet all Domestic Preference provisions associated with
the PIDP program. Heavy equipment acquisition and foreign construction components are not
needed for this project.
