Noble Consultants performed the engineering design and preparation of construction drawings and specifications for improvements to the Black Point Boat Launching Facility that is located on the Petaluma River under the Highway 37 bridge, about one-half a mile off the upper San Pablo Bay. This project was funded through a State of California Department of Boating and Waterways grant. The project consisted of designing a new boat launch ramp and boarding floats to replace the deteriorating existing ramp and boarding floats. In addition, it consisted of re-grading, repaving and striping of the existing parking area, providing new site drainage with CDS catch basins for separating out greases and oils, providing a new barrier-free access restroom and ADA walkway from parking lot to boat ramp and restroom, and providing for all other site improvements.

In addition, it consisted of re-grading, repaving and striping of the existing parking area, providing new site drainage with CDS catch basins for separating out greases and oils, providing a new barrier-free access restroom, and providing for all other site improvements including retaining walls and a future entry station and stairways to an upper over fill parking lot.

NCI initially prepared the engineering and economic feasibility report for a grant application to the California Department of Boating and Waterways to construct a new four- to eight-lane boat launch facility on Lake Elsinore. Subsequently, NCI performed all final engineering design, prepared the construction contract bid documents (drawings and specifications), and provided construction management and full time construction inspection services. This facility includes an eight-lane launch ramp initially constructed to four lanes, boarding floats, restrooms, car/boat trailer parking lots, landscaping and site utilities, lighting, fencing and signage. The launch facility will accommodate boat launching over a twenty-foot range in lake levels.
