THE NEW CONCRETE OR STEEL DECK PANELS WILL BE REMOVABLE, WITH NO PERMANENT TOPPING SLAB. DECK REPLACEMENT WILL REQUIRE PILE REPLACEMENT AND MINOR BULKHEAD DISTURBANCE AS DESCRIBED BELOW UP TO 36 EXISTING 24 INCH DIAMETER PILE WILL BE REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH UP TO 56 24 INCH STEEL PIPE PILES WATERWARD OF THE EXISTING STRUCTURAL STEEL PILES BENEATH THE 140 LF DECK AREA ADJACENT TO THE BULKHEAD AND UP TO 14 NEW 24 INCH DIAMETER STEEL PIPE PILES WILL BE INSTALLED BEHIND THE EXISTING BULKHEAD WALL AND HIGH TIDE LINE HTL ORDINARY HIGH WATER MARK OHWM. EXISTING TIMBER FENDER PILES WILL ALSO BE REPLACED WITH A NEW FENDERING SYSTEM ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE REHABILITATED CENTRAL TERMINAL AREA. EXISTING RIPRAP LOCATED IMMEDIATELY AROUND THE PILES WILL BE REWORKED PLACED TO THE SIDE AND REPLACED FOLLOWING PILE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION. EXISTING CONCRETE REVETMENT MAT LOCATED BELOW THE RIPRAP AND AROUND THE EXISTING PILES WILL BE CUT AND REWORKED TO ACCOMMODATE PILE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION.
