SUMMARY:
The beach marina, located on the south side of the Clearwater beach roundabout, dates to the early 1950’s. Due to the dock and utility infrastructure’s age and outdated mix of slip sizes and types, the marina no longer meets current best practices and standards and needs replacement.
A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was issued in April seeking a firm to design and permit the beach marina replacement project. The RFQ selection committee, consisting of five representatives from the Marine & Aviation, Engineering, and Building & Maintenance departments, conducted interviews with four of the eight engineering firms that submitted qualifications. The committee selected Moffat & Nichol design and permit the replacement and upland improvements.
Moffat & Nichol’s initial work order includes the new marina design (architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection & alarm, security, and landscape), permitting and bid assistance. A separate construction administration and inspection work order will be submitted for approval prior to the construction of the new marina.
The marina’s design and permitting duration is estimated to be twelve months with construction expected to begin in early 2023. The total project budget, including design and construction, is $18.15 million, including $15 million in Penny funds.
The Marine & Aviation department is responsible for owning and operating the beach marina.
