1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Brief Overview of the Project

The Engineering Division is soliciting proposals from qualified consultants to

prepare Plans, Specifications, and Estimates for the design of the proposed Navy Way and

Seaside Avenue Interchange Improvements project.

The Navy Way and Seaside Avenue Interchange Improvements project aims to

enhance traffic operations by implementing modifications to the current intersection of

Navy Way and Seaside Avenue. The project entails multiple components, including the

elimination of the final traffic signal and at-grade intersection along State Route 47, which

is a crucial segment responsible for carrying 10% of all United States waterborne

containers between 1-110 and 1-710. The duration of the contract awarded as a result of

this RFP is expected to be three years from the date of execution of the agreement. The

Harbor Department is seeking grant funding opportunities through the State of California

and other grant agencies. The total project budget is approximately $65 million.

1.2 The Port of Los Angeles

The Port of Los Angeles is America’s Port®, the nation’s premier gateway for

international commerce and the busiest seaport in the Western Hemisphere. Located in

San Pedro Bay, 25 miles south of downtown Los Angeles, the Port encompasses 7,500

acres of land and water along 43 miles of waterfront.

The Port features both passenger and cargo terminals, including cruise, container,

automobile, breakbulk, dry and liquid bulk, and warehouse facilities that manage billions of

dollars’ worth of cargo each year. One of the world’s busiest seaports and leading gateway

for international trade in North America, the Port of Los Angeles has ranked as the number

one container port in the United States each year since 2000. In 2022, the Port handled a

total of 9.9 million TEUs, its second busiest calendar year on record.

The Port of Los Angeles is a department of the City of Los Angeles (also known as

the Los Angeles Harbor Department) and is governed by the Los Angeles Board of Harbor

Commissioners, a panel appointed by the Mayor of Los Angeles. Although the Port is a

City department, it is not supported by City taxes. Operating as a landlord port with more

than 200 leaseholders, the Port instead generates its revenues from leasing and shipping

service fees. The Port’s jurisdiction is limited to the Harbor District, which includes property

in San Pedro, Wilmington, and Terminal Island.
