AGENDA ITEM: Resolution for Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) Grant for Tide
Views Dock Extension/Boat Launch Phase II
DATE: March 11, 2010
~-
SUBMTTTED BY: David E. Thompson, Asst. City Manager
BACKGROUND: Last year, the City submitted an application to the Florida Inland Navigation
District (FIND) for funding for the design, engineering, and permitting of a dock extension and boat
launch at the Tide Views Preserve. The intent was to extend the dock/boazdwalk over waterways
where visitors could fish, and to provide access to a deeper channel of water between the pazk and the
Intracoastal Waterway. This extension would also help to connect the public pazks by water access,
and encourage ecotourism by providing access to amenities at the pazks.
The project was sepazated into two (2) phases. Phase I was to secure the design, engineering and
permitting for the project. Phase II was to include the construction of the project. The original
estimate for design, engineering, and permitting was $95,000. The construction in Phase II was
estimated at $145,000. The total projected cost of the project was $240,000.
After negotiations with Bowen Civil Engineering, the Phase I cost of professional services for design,
engineering, and permitting has been lowered to $61,575.20. The Phase II construction estimates
have risen to approximately 211.563. The total cost of the project is currently estimated at $273,138,
which is $33,138 above the original estimate.
At the discretion of the City Commission, the Kayak Launch can be eliminated from the project,
reducing the total costs by $13,750.
One of the requirements of the application for Phase II is a resolution from the City Commission (see
attachment). The Phase II application is due at the FIND Office by April 1, 2010.
BUDGET: If this Phase II application is approved by FIND, then they will provide $105,781.50 for
the construction of the project.
This is a reimbursement grant, which means that Atlantic Beach will spend the money, and
then the expenses are submitted to FIND for reimbursement of 50%. The reimbursement
takes place when the construction contract is awarded. The City will not be reimbursed for
design work until a construction contract is awarded in 2010-11.
RECOMMENDATIONS: To approve the attached resolution, and authorize the Mayor to sign the
resolution and all subsequent paperwork for the administration of this grant.

UNDER THE FLORIDA INLAND NAVIGATION DISTRICT
WATERWAYS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the City of Atlantic Beach is interested in carrying out the following
described project for the enjoyment of the citizenry of Atlantic Beach, Duval County, and the
State of Florida:
Project Title: Tideviews Dock ExtensionBoat Launch Phase II
Total Estimated Cost: $211,Sb3
Brief Description of Project: This project will expand access to recreational and
educational areas encompassing more than 400 acres of wetlands and marshes located on or
adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway. The proposed project is based on extending a dock from
existing docks/boardwalks at the Tideviews Preserve to deeper water in the channel closer to the
Intracoastal Waterway. Although other options, including dredging, were explored, a dock
extension would be less expensive, easier to obtain permits, and less expensive to maintain into
the future. A floating dock/kayak/canoe launch is designed at the end of the dock extension to
provide more public access to and from the waterways, and space is designed for people wishing
to fish from the structure.
AND, Florida Inland Navigation District financial assistance is required for the program
mentioned above,
N4W THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City of Atlantic Beach that the project
described above be authorized,
AND, be it further resolved that said City of Atlantic Beach make application to the
Florida Inland Navigation District in the amount of 50% of the actual cost of the project in
behalf of said City of Atlantic Beach
AND, be it further resolved by the City of Atlantic Beach that it certifies to the following:
