Recommended Action
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that City Council approve the removal of the twelve existing decorative bollards on the Pier once the new crash-rated bollards are installed.

There is minor staff time involved in removal and disposal of the twelve decorative bollards.

The bollards are made of cylindrical stainless steel and are eight inches in diameter and thirty-six inches tall. The new bollards have been delivered along with structural drawings and engineering calculations signed and stamped by a licensed Civil Engineer. City staff plans to install the new bollards by the Memorial Day holiday.
Per the structural calculations, the new bollards are to be placed at forty-eight inches on center in order to absorb the impact and stop a fifteen thousand pound vehicle travelling at twenty miles per hour. In addition, the three center bollards will be "removable" to allow for the passage of emergency vehicles, maintenance vehicles, and Roundhouse delivery trucks. The new bollards will essentially replace the existing decorative bollards currently located approximately twenty feet to the west of the proposed new bollard line (Attachment 1). The existing decorative bollards are not crash-rated and are not intended to serve as a protective barrier to vehicular traffic. Staff seeks direction as to the disposition of these twelve decorative bollards.
