Attachment 1 Maintenance & Operation Guidelines These guidelines should be applied within the context of the existing maintenance conditions of the boat launch facility. Likewise, they should reflect long-term goals for the boat launch facility. The three key long-term goals that apply to most publicly owned boat launch facilities are as follows: Maintain the boat launch facility to a standard that attracts boaters to the boat launch facility Meet current and long-range needs of the community and of boaters in the region Produce, or set aside, revenues sufficient to maintain the boat launch facility infrastructure The following guidelines represent the minimum that shall be required of an Agency to operate and maintain a DBW funded BLF. Guidelines The following table documents, in categories, the minimum outcomes that must be meet in a properly maintained DBW funded BLF. The Agency is responsible for preparing, and updating, a maintenance schedule describing, in detail, how each of the objective/outcomes will be addressed by the Agency during the term of the BLF contract. During the grant term, the maintenance schedule shall be updated every five years, and whenever there are changes to the property, expected or unexpected, that might normally require changes in maintenance levels (examples include, but are not limited to, new construction or other major physical and non-physical changes including storm damage, faster than anticipated erasion, or higher than expected usage). In the event that such a change will not require a change in maintenance levels an updated maintenance schedule is still required; and, the Agency must clearly document why no change in service is required. In order to verify that Agencies are maintaining facilities as required, DBW will make periodic and random inspections of funded BLFs. After an inspection, Agencies wil! be provided with DBW's inspection results. In the event that facilities are not being maintained to DBW's guidelines, the Agency will be required to respond and take corrective action immediately. Agencies that do not maintain their facilities to at least these guidelines will not be considered for future DBW funding. DEPARTMENT OF BOATING AND WATERWAYS 2
