Coldstream will take into account a request for proposals of as much as half one million {dollars} to demolish and change the crumbling Kal Seaside pier.
Council’s finance committee will take into account the motion Monday.
The work can be funded from gasoline tax revenues.
Whereas pile driving of picket posts has been utilized in previous, the choice of rebuilding with metal development is being thought-about.
A current examination of the pier discovered lots of its pilings severely compromised and that the rotting timbers may see the construction fail in simply 5 years.
A report states one pile has already failed and been quickly repaired.
“Different failures might happen within the meantime with a lot increased penalties; particularly if there are excessive climate occasions with excessive waves,” the report states.
Demolishing the pier independently of reconstruction is estimated to price $65,000.
The estimated price to reconstruct the pier with metal piles, independently of demolition, is $455,000.
The RFP would “search out methods from business professionals that might present higher options for the pier.”
