7.F. BID #5069 - REPAIR OF BOAT DOCK AT FIRE STATION #2 - TREASURE COAST MARINE <br />Commissioner Ginn questioned whether the boat dock was being repaired or replaced, and <br />General Services Director Tom Frame explained that the planking was being replaced with plastic <br />rather than wood. Wood weathers, cracks, swells and pushes up the nail heads which rust and they <br />all have to be replaced, whereas the plastic with stainless steel fasteners has a much longer lifespan. <br />Emergency Services Director John King agreed that the plastic planking is much better than <br />wood and also explained that this is a rescue boat dock where both sides are used for stretchers and <br />dive equipment. The pilings are being saved but the entire dock is being replaced with the plastic <br />decking which is more expensive but which has a much longer lifespan. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Ginn, SECONDED by Commissioner <br />Neuberger, the Board unanimously awarded Bid 45069 to Treasure Coast <br />Marine in the amount of $15,099, including the base bid of $13,310 and the <br />alternate bid of $1,789 for the use of composite decking instead of .40 <br />lumber, as recommended by staff. <br />7.G. CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD APPOINTMENT OF KARL L. ZIMMERMANN. REALTOR <br />Notice of the election has been entered on the record. <br />JULY 15, 2003 4 <br />
