Marina Improvement Projects 2026

The County is seeking bids from qualified Vendors for Marina Improvement Projects 2026 , in accordance with the terms and conditions and specifications set forth in this solicitation. The goal of this project is to establish a stone border between the edge of the seawall (bulkhead) and the grass area between the bulkhead and the parking lot. This was one of the projects the Marina community all appeared to agree upon. One of the marina community's concerns was/is grass clipping getting into their vessels when our routine grass cutting was taking place. The marina community also felt having a stone border would reduce the amount of dirt, grass, and debris they would track onto their vessels from their shoes. Of the multiple items/requests the marina community had for the Parks Division, this one item/initiative is one that quickly rose to the top and all appeared to agree upon.

A focus group meeting was conducted with the marina community to identify the needs and wants for the Marinas (and end users). One of the needs/wants identified for both of the marinas, was to have a stone border at the top of the bulkhead, between the bulkhead and turf areas. Installation of a stone border at the marinas would involve stripping and removing the existing sod and up to 3 inches (including the sod) of material from the proposed stone border area. Some of the material to be removed can be recycled/re-used on the site to fill in depressions along the bulkhead, the remaining material will need to be disposed of off-site. One of the challenges vendors will face is the mechanical systems underground which are multiple and shallow (water piping, electric conduits, mechanical tie back rods (part of the bulkhead structure). Use of heavy equipment in excavating/removing material and sod will need to be performed very carefully so as not to get into existing piping, and/or the tie back rods which are critical to the bulkhead system structure. Due to the underground utilities and the terrain, much of the soil removal will need to be performed manually.
