File Number: 23-508 for boat removal in November. Analysis A contract for removal of the boats is not a construction contract subject to the Public Contract Code; however, it is subject to the City’s purchasing guidelines, which state that a competitive bid shall be used except when emergency conditions exist that do not permit a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation for bids. The conditions at the Marina are such that the area is not suitable for use by the public and the City’s insurance provider has stopped coverage for the area. The Marina is no longer equipped to support people living on boats; there is no water, electricity, trash, or sewer service. The boats owned by the City are unsuitable for living aboard; the boats were surrendered to the City as junk suitable only for demolition. The City has no reason to believe the fuel, electric, and plumbing systems or the structure of the boat itself is safe. No trespassing notices posted at the Marina have been ineffective; removal of the City owned boats should end the illegal trespassing. Staff recommends finding that delay in removal of the boats will harm the City due to the increased risk of injury on public property. The City has previously removed dilapidated boats from the Marina. A solicitation for bids in 2022 resulted in only one bid. The bidder, Lind Marine, successfully performed the work on the last contract and staff solicited a bid from them for the current group of boats. A scope of work and fee schedule for the work is attached to this staff report. Staff recommends awarding a contract to Lind Marine for the work. There are several boats in the Marina that are privately owned. Staff will negotiate with the boat owners or users for their removal. If negotiations are successful, additional boats may be added to the boat removal contract with Lind Marine. Staff recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute amendments to the agreement up to 20% of the original contract cost so that any additional work can be performed without delay. Previous Actions On October 16, 2023, via Resolution No. 2023-143 the City accepted a grant for disposal of surrendered and abandoned boats.
