HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
The port must perform maintenance dredging of its berths due to sediment fill-in, shoaling, and other underwater topography changes that occur along the berths after a period of time.
Recent surveys determined that in many locations the depth is as shallow as 28 feet along berths #3, #5, and #6. Depth this shallow affects port operations due to vessels not being able to maximize their cargo loads when calling on the port. The Army Corps of Engineers approved depth for the port is 33 feet - the same as the Pensacola channel.
Additionally, Hurricane Sally significantly exacerbated sediment fill-in and further reduced the port’s water depth along berths #3, #5 & #6. FEMA has approved a dredging project and will reimburse for the storm-related dredge material removal and associated project costs as a part of an overall dredging project but the participation amount from FEMA has not been obligated. As a result, the port will fund the entire cost of the dredging project from grant and port match funds and seek reimbursement from FEMA after their Cost and Scope are determined.
PRIOR ACTION:
April 22, 2021 - Council approved grant FDOT FSTED grant #4410272940 (Council Item 21-00337)
FUNDING:
Budget: $ 753,062 FSTED Dredging Grant #44102729402
$ 251.020 Port Matching Funds
$1,004,082
Actual: $ 648,850 Base Bid
$ 64,885 10% Contingency
$ 99,858 Engineering Services
$ 813,593
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for the Port’s dredging initiative in the amount of $1,004,082 has already been secured through the Florida Department of Transportation Seaport Grant Program. The grant covers 75% of the project leaving a 25% local Match. Budget was appropriated through City Council item 21-00337. In addition, since some of the sediment buildup was a direct result of Hurricane Sally the City is working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in hopes that the portion linked to Hurricane Sally will be paid for through FEMA’s Public Assistance program. Should the dredging project be obligated by FEMA, the City will seek reimbursement through the PA program for the portion approved.
