The Port of Los Angeles yesterday issued a request for proposals from interested parties for the pre-development phase of its planned Pier 500 marine container terminal.
The proposed pier would be located on a 200-acre site south of Pier 400, the port’s current largest container terminal. It would feature two new berths and 3,000 linear feet of available wharf, Port of LA officials said in a press release. The site’s size would allow for the next generation of large cargo ships to call the Port of LA.
The selected entity will enter into a public-private pre-development agreement with the port to scope the project’s financial feasibility and necessary entitlements, port officials said. The entire proposed Pier 500 project, including pre-development, entitlement procurement, environmental reviews, build out and operation, is expected to take 10 years.
The Port of LA is served by the Pacific Harbor Line, which serves on-dock marine terminals and interchanges with BNSF Railway and Union Pacific Railroad.
