Agenda 03/28/2017 Item #16D1103/28/2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve an expenditure of Tourist Development Tax for Category “A” Beach
Park Facilities to Bridging Solutions, LLC, using Contract Number 13-6164, “Professional Services
for Engineers and Architects”, for a boardwalk inspection at Clam Pass Park, for $10,468, and
make a finding that this expenditure promotes tourism.
OBJECTIVE: To obtain an inspection report for the Clam Pass Park boardwalk decking and handrail
system.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Clam Pass Beach Park boardwalk has been in existence since 1985. On
January 26, 2015, the Tourist Development Council (TDC) approved a work order to Coastal Engineering
Consultants, Inc. for the inspection of the Clam Pass Boardwalk. The inspection included
recommendations for a full restoration of the substructure of the boardwalk. On October 26, 2015, the
TDC approved the Invitation to Bid, No. 15-6510, to Custom Built Marine Construction, Inc., for the
repairs to the Clam Pass Park boardwalk. The construction repairs included the full substructure
restoration and was limited to some handrail replacements at locations of critical concern.
Although missing or critically damaged handrail and handrail posts were replaced (Oct. 2015), the
handrail system and decking continues to deteriorate. To maintain the longevity of the decking and
handrail system, its maintenance needs to be addressed. A second inspection is needed for the handrail
system and decking to obtain a recommendation report to determine the life expectancy, prepare for
future year budgeting and prioritize needed repairs and maintenance. Handrail and cap maintenance was
specifically included in the April 27, 2015, grant application. This inspection will also include the
decking as the entire boardwalk system needs attention. This is the first expenditure of the $100,000
budget in the grant application for the Clam Pass Boardwalk.
ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATION: On April 27, 2015, the Tourist Development Council
approved a grant application for $1,189,230 for a Category “A” Grant Application for Beach Park
Facilities, with $100,000 approved for the replacement of caps and top rails on the boardwalk at Clam
Pass Beach Park, with a vote 9-0.
On February 27, 2017, the Tourist Development Council approved this work order to Bridging Solutions,
LLC for a boardwalk inspection at Clam Pass Park for $10,468, with a vote 9-0.
FISCAL IMPACT: Sufficient funding for the award is provided in TDC Beach Park Facilities Fund
(183) within Clam Pass Boardwalk Repair Project 80333.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the Growth Management Plan related to
this action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote
for approval. - CMG
