Cliff Drive Resiliency Project - Planning, Environmental, Design, PS&E, and Construction Support Services. Currently, minimal shoreline armoring in the project area consists of rip rap designed to absorb and spread the energy from wave action. A portion of the project area is also protected by a ten foot soil nail wall at the top of the bluff constructed in 1997. The current erosion rate with the existing minimal armoring will result in the loss of additional portions of the roadway and parking areas in coming years. The proposed project will provide long term resiliency for this critical facility. Phase 1 of this project is to identify a preferred alternative to improve the road structure and configuration, which will then be incorporated as an amendment to the LCP. Phase 2 will develop the preferred conceptual design through to final design and includes environmental review and permitting requirements. Services performed during the design phase may include planning and performing field reviews/studies, completing regulatory agency permitting and coordination, preparation of CEQA and NEPA documentation, and developing biddable construction documents (plans, specifications, and construction cost estimate). The project is funded FHWA through the Emergency Relief Program and by the California Coastal Commission through the LCP Local Assistance Grant Program. All work must comply with State and Federal, and local requirements.
