Dinner Key Marina may finally be repaired

The Office of Capital Improvements is asking the commission Thursday to accept a proposal from Kearns Construction Company, to be considered to finally do the work repairing Dinner Key Marina, which has been in bad shape since Hurricane Irma in September 2017. 

Three proposals came in, one from Dock and Marine Construction Corp., another from Marina Utilities Inc., and the third from Kearns. Kearns is the lowest responsible bidder at this point. Their total bid: $16,880,381 plus extras for piers 1, 3 and 8 at a cost of $3,919,619, there is also an owner’s contingency allowance for $1,688,038. The total is not to exceed $22,488,038. 

The work will be done in phases.

At Thursday's City Commission meeting, commissioners are being asked to approve this bid and proposal.

The City is counting on FEMA to pay a bulk of the cost. The City's General Fund and Florida Inland Navitagation District (FIND) along with sewer bonds will pay in the meantime.

There will be three phases and there will be "hurricane related repairs" and "non-hurricane related repairs."

Suggestion. And of course just the time factor for approval will be at snails pace, no work should commence until after the 2019 hurricane season, right!? Jobie Steppe

The marina did have some insurance on it, but the City officials admitted, during a meeting with the marina tenants, that they spent the money elsewhere around the City in the hopes that FEMA would step up and repair it. It didn’t work out the way they planned. FEMA is not that stupid.
