Summer Bulkhead Replacement Projects
THE TAHOE KEYS PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION (TKPOA) is currently finalizing the contract agreements with Anvil Builders Inc. (ABI), for two important Bulkhead Replacement Projects scheduled for this summer to start June 16th, 2021. At this time, the project schedule is still being reviewed, with the project completion date of October 15th, 2021. These projects are once in 50 years or more major construction projects to replace these steel sheet pile East Cove bulkheads.
East Channel Bulkhead Replacement Project
Based on the July 29th, 2020 TKPOA property owner Voting Ballot for the East Channel East Bulkhead Replacement project. A total of 689 ballots were returned, with 536 property owners voting “Yes”. Member approval was required because our Bylaws prohibit the Board for Directors from entering into a contract in excess of $250,000 without approval of a majority of a quorum of the association membership by vote or written assent [TKPOA Bylaws Article IX, Section 2, subsection (a)]. The Board of Directors has authority to enter into a primary construction contract in an amount not to exceed $1,476,644 plus spending authority of up to an additional 10% for contingencies. No change in quarterly assessments will be required to fund this project during the 2021 fiscal year, and no special assessment is required for this project. The TKPOA is obligated by court order (1991 Superior Court of California – Stipulation Agreement No: 1225) to perform such repair, maintenance, and replacement of the East Channel East Bulkhead as is reasonably required to keep it in good and serviceable condition. All reasonable costs the TKPOA incurs performing that duty are court ordered shared between TKPOA (30%), Tahoe Keys Beach and Harbor Association (TKB&HA) (30%), and the Tahoe Keys Marina and Yacht Club (TKM&YC) (40%). However, the judgment also obligates the TKPOA to first pay the costs of this work through to project completion and then, after rendering an accounting, we are entitled to obtain reimbursement from TKB&HA and TKM&YC for their respective share of the total reasonable costs the TKPOA incurred. This project is the replacement of approximately 540 feet of steel sheet piling bulkhead at the East Channel East Bulkhead as detailed in the approved and permitted plans and project specifications and in coordination with the California Tahoe Conservancy (CTC) for project site access. It will be constructed with CHANCE anchors at 8-foot centers with an exterior waler to the sheet piles. The new bulkhead will be approximately 18 inches in front of the existing bulkhead which will remain in place with modification. The Anvil Builders Inc. (ABI) bid for this project is $1,436,00, with some exclusions. ABI the construction contractor will provide all necessary steel sheet piles, chance anchor tiebacks, walers, steel top cap, railing, and complete the site restoration. BMP Solutions will complete the required revegetation of the site in compliance with the California Tahoe Conservancy (CTC) Truckee Marsh Restoration project guidelines and Noble Consultants GEC Inc. are contracted for the construction management.
