Agenda 03/28/2017 Item #16D1203/28/2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve an expenditure of Tourist Development Tax for Category “A” Beach
Park Facilities funds to Bridging Solutions, LLC under Contract Number 13-6164, “Professional
Services for Engineers and Architects”, for a boardw alk inspection at the Barefoot Beach Preserve
Park for $13,040, and make a finding that this expenditure promotes tourism.
OBJECTIVE: To obtain an inspection report on the boardwalk system and bathhouse structure at the
Barefoot Beach Preserve Park.
CONSIDERATION: The existing boardwalk system and bathhouse structure at Barefoot Beach
Preserve is over 20 years old. The boardwalk system is approximately 1,650 feet long and includes three
beach access points. The boardwalk connects the bathhouse structure to the beach and includes Cabana
Dan’s pavilion at the north beach access point.
The structure is located in a marine environment which has caused deterioration of the boardwalk
components and safety concerns that need to be addressed. For example, some of the supports in the
bathhouse substructure have visibly rusted through and are in need of replacement and a more thorough
inspection is needed to determine any additional structural concerns. In addition, the handrail system
along the boardwalk requires maintenance, and the continuous expansion and contraction of the deck
boards over time have caused loosening and warping.
To maintain longevity of the boardwalk system and bathhouse structure, an evaluation is needed to assess
the current condition and Future Year maintenance budgeting, for repairs. The assessment will include a
structural inspection of the pilings, superstructure and connecting hardware. The assessment will address
any safety issues and provide a recommendation for modifying the nort h beach access to provide
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility. Additionally, an Opinion of Probable Cost is
needed for Future Year maintenance budgeting and expected replacement costs for the boardwalk and
structural elements.
ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATION: On April 25, 2016 the Tourist Development Council
(TDC) approved a grant application for $2,165,000, with $40,000 approved for the Barefoot Beach
Preserve boardwalk assessment, with a 7-0 vote.
On February 27, 2017 the Tourist Development Council approved this work order to Bridging Solutions,
LLC for a boardwalk inspection at Barefoot Beach Preserve Park for $13,040, with a vote 9-0.
FISCAL IMPACT: Sufficient funding for the award is provided in TDC Beach Park Facilities Fund
(183) within Barefoot Beach Boardwalk and Pavilion Project 80344.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the Growth Management Plan from this
action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote
for approval. - CMG
