Document Description
The proposed project would involve the removal and replacement of existing facility access control hardware at the Harbor Police Department Headquarters building by the San Diego Unified Port District (District) in the city of San Diego, California. Work to specifically complete the project would include:
• Selective removal and salvage of door hardware as required to install a working card reader system at existing facility doors.
• Provide selective demolition of walls and ceilings where surface mounted electrical and data wires need to be routed.
• Provide selective demolition of site hardscape and landscape for electrical and data wires at gates to be trenched back to server and electrical rooms.
• Provide wall and paint patch to match existing at locations where walls needed to be opened or cored through for new electrical and data wires.
• Provide hardscape and landscape patch back to match existing at all site selective demolition.
• Provide and install required electrified door hardware needed to retrofit the existing doors and frames to utilize a card reader security system.
Construction of the project would occur in the Fall of 2025 and would take approximately three (3) months to complete.
Due to its nature and limited scope, construction of the proposed project would generate a minor amount of vehicle trips and would require limited use of equipment. Therefore, impacts related to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and transportation and traffic are not anticipated to occur. Furthermore, the District would be responsible for complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws regarding construction demolition debris, hazards and hazardous materials, and stormwater.
