DESCRIPTION OF WORK: Replace two floating breakwaters at Bar Point Harbor in Ketchikan, Alaska. Bar Point Harbor is currently protected by floating breakwaters held in place by anchor chains and anchor blocks. A small floating breakwater protects the middle entrance channel and is approximately 120 feet long and 23 feet wide. A larger floating breakwater protects the harbor and is 963 feet in length consisting of four concrete modules each 23 feet wide connected using post-tensioned wire cables. Both floating breakwaters have surpassed their estimated lifespan and need to be replaced. The project will include demolition of the existing breakwaters and replacement with new reinforced concrete float-type breakwaters. The breakwaters will be moored by chains and concrete anchor blocks. The Contractor is to furnish all labor, equipment, supplies, materials, supervision, and other items and services necessary to accomplish the work.
