BACKGROUND:
The M/V Rickmers Hamburg struck berth 10 on July 3, 2016. Delays occurred with coordinating a survey

has been received from Orion Marine Group which is currently on-site as the contractor for the berth
rehabilitation project. Request is to approve the emergency repair to berth 10 in the amount of $75,163.03.

November 16, 2016 Proposal – Berth 10 Emergency Repair Manatee County Port Authority 300 Tampa Bay Way Palmetto, FL 34221 Attn: Mr. George Isiminger
Subject: Berth 10 West-End Bulkhead Ship Damage Repair
Orion Proposal
Dear Mr. Isiminger:
Orion Marine Construction, Inc. (Orion) has prepared this proposal in the amount of $75,163.03 to temporarily remediate the exposed embankment at the west-end of Berth 10. This emergency repair which is needed due a ship’s collision with the berth, is outside of the scope of Orion’s current contract, No. AR790, and associated Change Orders with the Port to Reconstruct Berth 9 and provide cathodic protection improvements. The above pricing includes labor, equipment and materials needed to remediate the affected area in general accordance with your email dated 11/7/16. Orion has attached a sketch to illustrate a typical cross section of the repair. Please note that the termination of the filter fabric toe has been modified to reflect standard industry design and facilitate constructability. The proposed pricing allocates the use of up to 100 CY of fill dirt, 60 tons of bedding stone, and 160 tons of bank and shore type rip rap. A storage area of 100’ x 40’ will be required on the adjacent berth to store these materials while the work is being performed. Due to the exposure of the embankment to wind and wave action, and uncertainty of the erosion at the potable waterline, Orion cannot guarantee the above listed quantities will complete the remediation. The sensitive nature of this work and the likely possibility that the erosion will spread will require Orion be provided an opportunity to inspect the area 24 hours prior to entering into an agreement to perform this work to ensure that the scope has not significantly increased. If awarded, a time extension of 7 work days to contract AR790 will be necessary to offset the impact created by using critical resources from Berth 9 to perform this scope. This proposal is contingent upon a mutually agreeable schedule. As you are aware these temporary measures are not intended as a permanent repair. Orion strictly excludes liability for the repair design. Furthermore due to the compromised integrity of this berth, including but not limited to the existing asphalt pavement, sheet pile wall, mooring structures, and utilities Orion cannot be held liable if additional damage occurs during the construction of the repair. Should litigation arise involving or relating to the third party that

caused the damage, or any insurance carrier, the Port shall indemnify and defend Orion, and keep Orion’s costs confidential in any proceedings. We are available to discuss this matter at your earliest convenience. Best Regards,
Orion Marine Construction, Inc.
