The city commission opened at its Oct 5 meeting, Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) received from engineering firms vying for the contract to provide their services to renovate the Scipio Creek Boat Basin.
The Boat Basin is scheduled to receive a major facelift using funding secured this past June from the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (EDA), along with a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), and funding from the City’s Revolving Loan Program.
The renovations will include the installation of a haul out lift, fueling station, icehouse, an unloading dock, and facilities to encourage open-air markets where local seafood harvesters could sell their catch right off the boats. The cost is expected to run $2,490,596 and afterwards create up to 44 new jobs.
Five engineering firms submitted SOQ’s for the city’s consideration, Baskerville & Donovan, Inc., out of Pensacola; North Florida Professional Services, Inc., out of Lake City; Environmental Consultant & Technology, Inc., out of Tallahassee; Inovia, out of Tallahassee; and PBS&J, out of Tallahassee.
The city commission will hold a special meeting at City Hall this afternoon at 6:00PM, Oct 12 to select the firm.
