Project anatomy
Contract scope and delivery roles
- Client / authority
- City of Los Angeles Harbor Department, Port of Los Angeles
- Delivery parties
- Shimmick Construction Company, Inc. - prime contractor, USD 61,290,400 bid, Axia Electric LLC - listed electrical subcontractor, USD 8,292,107; wholly owned Shimmick subsidiary, Alcorn Fence Company - listed fencing subcontractor, USD 1,150,003, CMC Steel Fabricators, Inc. - listed rebar subcontractor, USD 459,082, Manson Construction Co. - listed subcontractor, USD 2,934,000; work type not stated in the board table, NMN Construction - listed subcontractor, USD 550,000; work type not stated in the board table, Hermosa Infrastructure Materials - listed steel-pile supplier, USD 7,081,937
- Contract route
- The Harbor Department advertised Specification 2815 on 9 September 2025, held a pre-bid meeting on 23 September and received three bids on 20 November. Shimmick bid USD 61,290,400, below Drill Tech Drilling & Shoring at USD 71,922,060 and Griffith-Aldridge JV at USD 78,799,028. The Board approved the lowest responsive and responsible bid under Resolution 26-10665 on 6 January 2026; RAMP records opportunity 225023, contract 2332 and the award on 26 January.
- Execution window
- The approved work duration is 1,020 calendar days. The January 2026 board presentation estimated NTP in March 2026 and completion in January 2029, while the earlier FY 2025/26 budget had forecast January 2026 to March 2028. The award programme supersedes the older planning dates for current tracking; actual NTP, site possession, first marine operation and any revised accepted programme remain unconfirmed.
- Works package
- Work includes a new LADWP 34.5 kV industrial station, 34.5 kV switchgear, an 18 MVA transformer with automatic load tap changing, new 11 kV AMP switchgear, two 11 kV wharf AMP outlets and a mobile cable-management system. Marine and civil scope includes Berths 49-50 wharf structural support and concrete repair, 9,144 linear feet of furnished 36-inch steel pipe piles, 72 installed steel pipe piles, 3,860 linear feet of 24-inch prestressed concrete piles, 40 installed concrete piles, ten marine fenders, eight mooring bollards, timber piles, utilities, paving, site removals and pedestrian, vehicle, safety and security improvements.
- Marine interfaces
- The project must integrate high-voltage shore power with an operating cruise berth, ageing wharf concrete, a new hybrid fender backing panel, steel and timber piling, bollards, water and sewer connections and live passenger and vehicle circulation. Critical controls include vessel-call windows, electrical isolation and commissioning, wharf structural access, pile-driving tolerances, concrete repair boundaries, fender and mooring geometry, utility tie-ins, marine safety zones and CARB shore-power compliance.
- Commercial evidence boundary
- The board approved a USD 61,290,400 contract and a 10% contingency, producing a USD 67,419,440 authorization. The bid list assigns USD 13,385,192 to five subcontractors and separately lists Hermosa's USD 7,081,937 steel-pile supply within Shimmick's USD 47,905,208 prime amount including supplier. Named external party values therefore total USD 20,467,129, while USD 40,823,271 remains as the arithmetic balance not assigned to an external lower-tier entity in the table. That balance is not proof of actual self-performed cost. Alcorn plus Hermosa account for the reported 13.43% SBE participation; Hermosa alone accounts for 11.55% VSBE participation. No cited record proves executed lower-tier agreements, paid quantities, variations or final account.
