April 14, 198- Motion of Mr. Simpson and seconded'by Mrs. Webb, to $525,000 in the School Operating Fund for 15 new school buses, approved on first reading, by unanimous vote. was 87-147 Letter from the City Manager recommending a transfer of $30,000 from the Emergency BudgetContingency Account and authori- zation to enter into an agreement with Paul N. Robert for the operation of a boat ramp at the old Coast Guard Stafion. "On March 15, 1987, the City Engineer, in conjunciton with the City's Purchasing Agent and Director of Parks and Recreation, advertised for proposals to operate a temporary boat ramp within the City. As you are aware, this Request for Proposals was brought about due to the City's contractor at City Park notifying the City ineer that he could not guarantee the June 1,1987 completion for the boat ramps due to inclement weather (rain). The Purchasing Agent opened bids on Monday, March 23, 1987 and zwo proposals were received: o Paul N. Robert Use of old Coast Guard Base o Kenneth Zuraw/Michael K. Davis Use of Bay StreetZPRHA property. A review committee consisting of Pat Coffield, Richard Hartman Lydia Patton and John Grook met to evaluate the proposals and rende~ ~ff recommendation to me. The Committee judged Mr. Robert's ~osal as being most responsive to the City's needs, contingent ~on certain conditions being met (see attached listing). Mr. ed that it will cost him $110,000 to finance this venture ~nd has requested $30,000 from the City as an investment contributio Ihe City Engineer would require final approval of all designs and ~lans for the boat ramp, as well as his personal sign-off on all lrawdowns on the $30,000 based on actual invoices for materials ielivered. Under normal circumstances I would not have submitted this ~roposal to you; ~hDw~r~ based upon boater interest in have a boat ramp" this summer season, I feel this is the only ~lausible alternative when one is considering timing and cost. I, therefore, recommend a motion to transfer $30,000 from the ~ency Budget Contingency Account and authorization to enter int~ agreement with Mr. Paul N. Robert for the operation of a boat ramp at the old Coast Guard Station. Depending upon Mr. Robert's ~bility to secure private financing and Army Corps of Engineer's approval, it will take between six to eight weeks for the ~oat.ramps to be operational." Paul Robert, 356 Broad Street, answered question of Council and ~resented his project. Motion of Mrs. Webb and seconded by Mrs. Lucas, to transfer ;30,000 from the Emergency Budget Contingency Account and authorize' zhe City Manager to enter into an agreement with Paul N. Robert for ~he operation of a boat ramp at the old Coast Guard Station, was ~pproved on first reading, and adopted by unanimous vote.
