What Elements are “Final”? 

• 100-year design life for structural elements

• In-water habitat restoration features

• Restored Washington Street Boat Landing

• Pocket beach near Washington Street, with potential forseamless expansion

• Historic pier slips

• Railing

• Promenade with light penetrating surfaces

• Full flexibility for ongoing work with project partners, such asthe Seattle Aquarium

Central seawall project boundaryextends to Virginia Street

Total distance (S. Washington toVirginia): 3,700 lineal feet

Increased from previous length by240 lineal feet

Central seawall project boundarystays at Virginia Street• Total distance (S. Washington to

Virginia): 3,700 lineal feet

Drilled shafts assumed for soilstabilization, due to better historicprice record and less cost risk

Jet grouting for soil stabilization,with availability to use drilled shafts ifneeded

Ecosystem restoration featuresncluded, range of costs largely dueo excavation needs

Ecosystem restoration balancesneeds and functions, less excavationneeded

Utility costs included Utility costs included

30% construction contingency,standard for early design

25% construction contingency,due to design progression

Cost Assumptions – 10% vs. 35% Design

35% Cost Estimate Notes

• Design is under budget

• Cost savings achieved with

refinement of the design,particularly in jet grouting

• Estimated budget for habitatfeatures reduced

 – Hybrid of the alternatives

 –Less excavation required

• Reduced contingency from30% to 25%

• Costs for utilities assumed tobe same as 10% estimates
