Marco South/Caxambus Pass Project - eon tract Gary McAlpin reviewed Executive Summary "Review project and obtain recommendation from CAC to proceed with contract to renourish Marco South Beach/Dredge Caxambas Pass Project 905001" (see attachment) including the following points: . All permits have been issued except the notice to proceed from DEP. Nothing is holding the project back at this point. . Twenty-eight bidders were notified, fourteen purchased plans, with only one bid returning from Subaqueous. · There was an increase in cubic yardage. . The DEP permit allows renourishment up until turtle season May 1 st. Fish and Wildlife National Marine Fisheries would not allow the May 1st date due to concerns with Snook Spawning; April 1st was the permitted deadline. . Subaqueous assured him that they would like to perform the project having the dredge on site on February 1 st. They proposed to perform the job on time; if they do not complete it by the given time then they will remobilize at their own expense. . Mr. McAlpin's opinion is that it will not be completed by the deadlines. . February 14th would be the earliest the contract could be approved by all necessary parties. 4 January 12, 2006 It was suggested to appeal the Fish and Wildlife Nation Marine Fisheries deadline. It was noted that by the time the appeal came through the necessary time would have passed. Mike Treadneck, Taylor Engineering has the understanding that Marine Fisheries are trying to get tighter with restrictions. An extension of one week was granted. Options on how to execute the dredging in February were discussed. It was mentioned that no shoaling is occurring, and that the City of Marco is not willing to do any projects during turtle season. It was suggested to postpone the project until November, but have channel markers replaced for safety. Mr. McAlpin advised the Committee that there are three options: 1. Do the project now. 2. Accept bid, ask for commencement in November and negotiate mobilization price. 3. Re-bid within the next two months and commence in November. His recommendation is to move forward with Subaqueous in November. Mike Treadneck brought out that the current winning bidder is Subaqueous who is known to be a reputable company. Ifbidding is reopened all other companies will know the current bid price and come in lower. The lowest bid would then have to be taken regardless of the company. He also feels it is wise to put the project off until November 1st. Ms. Kulpa moved to request the staff to renegotiate with Subaqueous to commence in November 2006. Second by Mr. Hendel. Carries unanimously 8-0. The meeting recessed at 2:31 PM reconvening at 2:37 PM. Mark Isakson reviewed the pay schedule for the parking garage, he will return with further information. A consensus was reached that the staff should go back to DEP and the Fishery Board to discover how the April 1st date was arrived, and any future impacts. Mr. Sullivan suggest following up on channel markers and to pick a date to have the BCC approve the Caxambus contract. Mr. McAlpin will contact each Committee Member for any information on missing channel markers and then work with Doug Suitor to get the status on each one. He will return with the discovered information. 5 January 12, 2006 5. eategory "A" Grant Applications Gail Hambright, Tourist Tax Coordinator reviewed Executive Summary "Recommend Approval to implement notification procedure for Category "A" grant applications".
