Manatee County Boat Ramp Project Report Manatee County Board of County Commissioners Work-Session December 6, 2016 Presented by: Charlie Hunsicker - Director Alan Lai Hipp Environmental Program Manager – Marine Resources Michael Elswick – Division Manager Manatee County Parks and Natural Resources Department
Today’s Presentation • Overview • Complete/Substantially Complete Projects • Planned Projects • Funding constraints and update
Boat Ramp Overview • The Parks and Natural Resources Department operates and maintains eight public boat ramp facilities. • Parks and Natural Resources Dept. works in conjunction with the Property Management Department to implement construction designs. • Grounds Maintenance Division of property Management Dept. provides regular maintenance of facilities. • Added amenities include restrooms and fish cleaning tables with running water, where feasible. • Full scale renovations allow us to keep ahead of closures being dictated by unexpected structural failures.
Boat Ramp Strategic Objectives • Offer safe high quality experience • Decrease maintenance costs & environmental impact of operating boat ramp facilities • Build capacity for providing water access
Manatee County Standard Design/Construction Elements • Pour in place or pre-cast launch ramp slabs • Extended footers at the base of ramps • Concrete Pilings • Composite Dock Decking and piling bumpers • Storm water treatment including concrete resurfacing • Restroom buildings when appropriate
Warner’s Bayou
Jiggs Landing
Planned Projects
Fort Hamer Closing first quarter of 2017 • Existing issues: Launch ramp is short and steep and is steel cabled design; more docking capacity is needed. • Current Status: Parks and Natural Resources worked with the Property Management Department on the design and permit process for the replacement of the wooden docks and launch ramp. Renovation will begin in early 2017 and will take 10 weeks to complete.

Coquina North Estimated Project Start – February 2017 • Current issues: The existing ramp is very short and steep which severely limits the size of the vessel which can be launched. Docks and seawall must be replaced. • Current Status: Parks and Natural Resources worked with the Property Management Department on the permitting and design process for the complete renovation and expansion of the facility which will include expanded launch lanes, new seawalls and expanded docks including a floating dock. There is existing room to significantly increase boater launch access to Sarasota Bay from this facility. • Parking lot expansion will add 28 designated trailer parking spaces.

Coquina South
Coquina South • Current issues: Wooden docks must be constantly maintained as they can subjected to heavy commercial uses which can cause significant damage. • Wooden decking and stringer supports were re-done in 2014. • Current Status: Parks and Natural Resources worked with Property Management on the design and permit process for expansion and resurfacing of the parking lot. • Parking lot expansion toward the north will add 48 designated trailer parking spaces. Additional expansion involves addition of parking to the south and could include doubling of launch lanes from 2 to 4.
Kingfish
Kingfish Estimated Project Start – To be coordinated with FDOT replacement of the Manatee Bridge (currently beyond 5 years) • Current issues: Cable system launch ramp is the same age as the ramp previously in place at Warner’s Bayou. • Wooden decking and stringer supports were re-done in 2014. • Current Status: Existing design calls for launch ramp capacity to be expanded from 3 to 4 lanes. Realignment of bridge allows for expansion of parking on eastern side of the site.

Boat Ramp Funding Overview • Funding for ramp projects is currently provided by: • West Coast Inland Navigation District (WCIND). Funding governed by Florida Statute 374 and Florida Rule Chapter 66A-1/66A-2 • Florida Boating Improvement Program (FBIP). Funding governed by Florida Statute 328.72
Boat Ramp Cost Estimate Changes – 2015 vs. 2016 Boat Ramp Status Reports Project 2015 Report 2016 Report Cost Difference Change Justification Estimate Estimate To be coordinated with FDOT replacement of Manatee Bridge. Bridge project will allow Kingfish $1,700,000 (FY 2018) $2,875,000 $1,175,000 expansion of eastern end of Kingfish to allow for more trailer parking. Northern parking expansion already designed. Now that bayside beach section has been closed the whole site can be designed with a singular cohesive layout including parking expansion to the south and doubling of launch width. Resource impact mitigation included Coquina South $2,200,000 (FY 2018) $4,100,000 $1,900,000 Project delayed by permitting. 50k reflects additional permitting tasks. Lowest bid received Coquina North $1,450,000 (FY 2016) $1,950,000 (FY 2017) $500,000 on project - $1.9 million. Bids ranged from 1.9 to 3.1 million. Contract in place. Project was delayed to avoid hurricane season and possible dam releases. Ft. Hamer Boat Ramp $475,000 (FY2015) $475,000 (FY2015) 0 Boat ramp will be closed for renovation on December 1, 2016. Warner's Bayou $500,000 (FY 2015) $268,006 (FY 2015) - $231,994 Project completed in 2015 - actual cost $268,006 Jiggs Landing $507,000 (FY 2015) $463,847 (FY 2015) - $43,153 Project completed in 2015 - actual project cost $463,847 State Road 64 Parking Lot Removed from $300,000 (FY 2019) -$300,000 Priority downgraded due to funding constraints Concrete Schedule Net Total Increase: $7,132,000 $10,131,853 $2,999,853

Summary Pay As We Go Scenario • Projects occur over longer time frame(10 years) due to lack of match instead of 5yr plan presented 2015 • Coquina South improvements delayed 5 additional years • No debt incurred
Disparity in Percent of Matching Funds Over Time 2014 - 2026 WCIND Funds $ FBIP Funds Time - Increasing Disparity Between Availability of WCIND $ and FBIP $ Over Time - Loss of 50/50 Matching Leverage Ability Over Time - Value of County Owned Land can be used for Match - Kingfish is not County Owned; Land not Available for Match
Summary Limited Borrowing Scenario • Project implementation returned to five planning horizon • Coquina South improvements accelerated 5 years to 2021 • Borrowing an estimated $785,000 in FY2022 to close gap in matching funds • Limited confidence in cost estimating for projects five years out. • Potential source of match • 1/2cent infrastructure sales tax • Parks Impact Fees • General Fund
Other funding: ½ Cent Sales Tax Referendum Projects • Restroom Construction SR 64 Boat Ramp • Restroom Construction Kingfish Boat Ramp
