Body
SUMMARY:
July 20, 2023, City Council approved the use of Engineer of Record (EOR) for Professional Services Agreements (ID#23-0785) for Moffatt & Nichol and other engineering firms for a period of four years.
These firms were selected in accordance with Florida Statutes 255.103 and 287.055 under Request for Qualifications 34-23 based upon construction experience, financial capability, availability of qualified staff, local knowledge, and involvement in the community.
On September 28, 2022, during the passing of Hurricane Ian, the Clearwater Harbor Marina’s west and north facing wave attenuator on the south basin sustained severe damage beyond repair, based on a Failure Assessment and Recommendations Report (December 2022) by Engineer of Record Erickson Consulting Engineers.
October 21, 2022, Marine and Aviation Director at the time signed a work order (20-0032-EN) in the amount of $14,145.00 for failure assessment and recommendations of the failed wave attenuators.
January 2016, City Council approved Moffatt & Nichol as EOR for the Harbor Marina Comprehensive Boating Plan.
October 2021, City Council approved Moffatt & Nichol as EOR for the Beach Marina Replacement following their successful EOR selection via RFQ 24-21, “Design Services - Clearwater Beach Marina Replacement.”
August 2023, Pursuant to the State’s Consultants’ Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA), Public Works entered negotiations with Moffatt & Nichol based on past performance, projected workload, and willingness to meet time and budget requirements. Those negotiations led to the development of a Harbor Marina South Basin North Wave Attenuator Replacement Work Order for $302,106.00.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
A first quarter budget amendment will establish capital project C2409, South Basin Attenuator, and establish a budget of $302,106.00 to fund the design and permitting phase. Revenues to fund the project will be recognized from insurance reimbursements and FEMA, with any remaining balance to be funded from Clearwater Harbor Marina Fund reserves and/or General Fund reserves.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY:
The design and permitting necessary to repair the Clearwater Harbor Marina wave attenuator supports objective 1.2 by properly maintaining public infrastructure.
