Haska, P.E., Environmental Services Director THROUGH: David T, Harden, City Manager DATE: February 2, 2010 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM SP1 - SFECIALIWORKSI3OP MEETING OF FEBRUARY 9 201Q GRANT APPLICATION/F.LN.D,IDELRAY INTRACOASTAL PARK ITEM BEFORE CONIMISSIUN Consideration of an application far giant funding from the Florida Inland Navigation District under their Waterways Assistance Program far 50% matching funds to be used far the reconstruction of the boat ramps at Mangrove Park. BACKGRCI[TND At the January 12, 2010 Commission Workshop meeting, staff presented a fourth alternative proposal for reconstructing the boat ramps at Mangrove Park which have seen minimal use since opening to the public due to the steep ramp slope. This proposal incorporates a dual slope with a break point near the mean low water elevation. The upland slope would be reduced to roughly 12.3°lo and towing vehicles would operate on this slope for launch and retrieval of boats at any water elevation. In the absence of detailed plans, staff had estimated this proposal to cost between $350,004 and $400,000, based on estimated costs of the three previous concepts. We have since obtained a budget estimate from a local marine contractor quoting casts of $140,000 and $250,000 depending on the type of ramp construction used, The lower cost considers staying with the block mat type of ramp as exists and the larger amount considers using precast concrete panels and sheet piling. Commission directed staff to research grant opportunities for funding the reconstruction project, We have been contacted by the Florida Inland Navigation District {FIND} about their Waterways Assistance Program (WAP} which is currently open and can provide funds up to a 50% match. The application deadline is April 1, 2010. To allow for a margin of variance in the contractor's budget estimate, staff is proposing a grant submittal in the amount of $87,500 based on a project cast of $175,000. If successful, the grant funding would provide 54°fo of the estimated cost, leaving the City's obligation at $87,500 plus engineering and permitting costs. We are contacting Palm Beach County for Boating Improvement Grant funds or other county funds which maybe available to assist with the local share of funding, If Commission elects to pursue this grant, the attached resolution obligating the City to it`s share of funding if the grant is approved must be approved as part of the grant package. http://miweb001tAgendaslBluesheet.aspx?ItemID=3413&MeetingID=252 2/1612010 Page 2 of 2 FUNDING SOURCE None required at this time.
