collected with a 4% tax, there are very few contracts still bound under 3%.

VIII. Old Business
1. City/County Beach Renourishment Update GLDD
Mr. McAlpin reviewed Executive Summary "Progress Update - City/County
Beach Renourishment Project" (see attachment). 7th Avenue South and
Horizon Way revamping will be addressed. The contractor is going to make a
claim on the contract for $350,000 based on an excessive amount of shells in
the borrow area that plugged up their screens not permitting them to optimize
capacity on the dredge which cost time. The claim is believed to be baseless
because the amount of shell was minimal relative to the amount of sand
pumped, and that means and methods are the contractor's responsibility.
A special meeting on July 13th can be set up for the approval of the artificial
reef contract allowing for the contractor to commence before the possibility of
low visibility in the gulf water due to hurricane season. Ms. Greene agreed to
research the ability to conduct the meeting via telephone.
2. Marco South/Caxambas Pass Project
Mr. McAlpin reviewed Executive Summary "Progress Update - Marco
SouthlCaxambas Pass Project" and the Executive Summary "Recommend
Approval of Bid 06-3925 to Subaqueous Services, Inc. in the amount of
$1,581,400.00, plus fuel escalation for renourishment of the South Marco
Beach and dredging of Caxambas Pass Project No. 905001" to be presented to
the Board of County Commission (see attachments).
3. Clam Pass Update
Mr. McAlpin reviewed Executive Summary "Clam Pass Maintenance
Dredging/Clam Pass Beach Park Renourishment Update" (see attachment).
4. Wiggins Pass Monitoring Update
Mr. McAlpin reviewed Executive Summary "Wiggins Pass Monitoring
Update" (see attachment).
Public Speaker-

June 8,2006
Captain John Findley, Estuary Conservation Association gave an update on
the Pass finding a uniform depth of 4 feet. ECA has also confirmed that the
Pass has narrowed. On May 25th permanent markers were put back in. The
lack of rainfall has helped to contribute to the sand build up narrowing the
Pass. He feels that at the rate it is going it may be only 3 feet by December.
He demonstrated an aerial photograph of the area.'
