Description

RFP 2018.01 - Engineering, Design and Permitting for Isle of Palms Marina Docks Rehabilitation Addendum #2 - BIG Application APPLICATION FOR FUNDING Boating Infrastructure Grant Program Tier 1 Isle of Palms Marina City of Isle of Palms, South Carolina July 1, 2017 Project Summary Project Title: Isle of Palms Marina - Fuel Infrastructure Project Location: City of Isle of Palms, South Carolina Background and Need: The Isle of Palms Marina is a popular City-Owned Marina that is located directly on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) at Morgan Creek, just outside Charleston, South Carolina. Immediately adjacent to the renowned Wild Dunes Resort, the marina provides a variety of amenities for local residents and visitors. The marina facility was purchased by the City of Isle of Palms in 1999 and is comprised of aging infrastructure, much of which is nearing the end of its useful service life. This specifically includes the marine fuel system. Coupled with the degradation of the fuel system (and other infrastructure) at the subject site, the marina has seen an increase in the demand for dockage and fuel from transient boaters as the economy has improved in recent years and nearby reaches of the AIWW have been dredged. This dredging is allowing greater access for transient vessels transiting the Waterway through the area immediately adjacent to the subject marina. Therefore, the need to provide updated, functional fuel service is imperative to continue to attract visiting transient boaters. Proposed Project Elements: The elements of this project include:  Replacement of aged marine fueling infrastructure o Fuel distribution lines and appurtenances o Fuel dispensers and hose reels o Fuel dock o Fuel attendant hut 1 Project Statement Introduction The City of Isle of Palms is a popular tourist destination and residential community of 4,133 residents that is located just outside the City of Charleston, South Carolina. Bordered on the east by the Atlantic Ocean and on the west by the AIWW, watersports and boating are ingrained into the culture and contribute to the allure of this barrier island. Purchased by the City in 1999, the Isle of Palms Marina offers a wide variety of amenities for local and visiting boaters, area residents, and tourists. Since the City purchased the marina, the popularity of the facility has grown substantially.
