Explanation:
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (“FWC”) established a program to provide grants to local governments for reimbursement for the removal of derelict vessels from the public waters of the State. Three vessels located in the Intracoastal Waterway within the jurisdiction of the City met the criteria to be designated derelict vessels and, upon the Police Department following appropriate procedures, the vessels became eligible for removal. The Police Department sought quotes from vendors for the removal of the three derelict vessels. The only vendor able to remove all three vessels and the lowest bidder was Grady Marine Services, Inc., a marine salvage company that has removed several derelict vessels for the City (“Grady Marine:”). The Police Department submitted an application for the FWC Derelict Vessel Removal Program Grant and was awarded funding in the amount of $113,206.00 for the cost of the removal. The City accepted the grant funding on June 16, 2021 (R-2021-151).
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for this project is available in the FY 2021 Operating Budget account number 113.209804.52100.531170.001423.000.000.
