The project will generate noise and other temporary disruptions while construction is underway. Demolition work, which will occur during the first several days of each construction phase, will generate the most noise. Power tools will be utilized throughout the duration of the project.
In addition to noise, spray foam insulation and epoxy work will occur during each construction phase, which may generate unpleasant odors (odors should dissipate quickly in outdoor/ventilated areas). To prevent odor intrusion as best as possible, exterior windows and doors will be temporarily sealed during this phase of work.
Yes, the Harbor Public Meeting Room is typically available during the day and tenants will be given top priority.
Please email your reservation requests to rghisletta@santacruzharbor.org.
Yes, signage will be installed to make customers aware that businesses are open during construction.
Staff does not have the authority to grant a waiver or a reduction of rent, despite the difficult circumstances. Any such waiver would require Port Commission action/approval. If you are interested in submitting a formal request to the Port Commission for consideration, please submit it by September 19, 2023, for inclusion in the agenda packet for the upcoming regular public meeting on September 26, 2023.
Project Updates
September 19, 2023
The Port District’s contractor, SSB Construction, is currently ahead of schedule and has completed all demolition and framing work along the southwest corner of the building (Phase 1). Important upcoming dates:
- Spray foam insulation will be applied along the entirety of the south side of the building (ocean facing side) this Friday, September 22, 2023. This work will generate odor. To prevent odor intrusion as best as possible, exterior windows and doors will be temporarily sealed. After completing the spray foam insulation, new deck surface sheeting will be installed during the week of September 25. Application of the waterproof deck coating will follow.
- The temporary fencing and scaffolding that is currently erected along the southwest corner of the building will be moved to the southeast corner of the building early next week. This will allow for Phase 2 construction to commence. Plaza tables and chairs will be relocated accordingly.
If you have any questions regarding the upcoming schedule, please contact SSB or Port District staff.
