The Port of Oakland's Vision 2000 Development - Meeting Customers Needs through the Redevelopment of a Former Naval Facility and Railyard into a Modern Marine Terminal Complex

This paper outlines the creation of the Port of Oakland's Vision 2000 Development Program. It will focus on the genesis of the Program, how the former Navy base and adjacent railyard were closed and transferred, how the designers where selected and how the program was managed to accomplish the goal. A series of other papers in these proceedings explain the details of the fast track environmental review processes, innovative geotechnical design, terminal layouts and wharf design. The Program encompasses the redevelopment of the former United States Navy's 214 hectares (ha) Fleet Industrial Supply Center Oakland (FISCO), and the adjacent 44.5 ha Union Pacific Railroad's (UPRR) rail facility on the Oakland Inner Harbor Channel (IHC), into a modern marine terminal complex. The complex will consist of 1830 meters (m) of wharf, (37.2 m wide, with a 6.1 m wide service lane waterside of the crane rail) designed for 30.5 m gage container cranes. The design cranes are super post-panamax with a 22+1 box outreach. The remainder of the facility consists of 109.4 ha for container yards, 69 ha for a near dock intermodal rail terminal, a tugboat facility, associated roadways and a 15 ha public shoreline access park.
