.y_ MAY 18 198 0 TO: The Honorable Members of the DATE: May 10, 1983 FILE: Board of County C nnissioners THRU: Michael Wright, County Administrator SUBJECT: missing Vero Isles Daybeacon VIA: James W. Davis, P.E., Public Works Directo FROM: Donald G. Finnei4-r�A- REFERENCES: Engineering Technician DESCRIPTION AMID CONDITIONS The U.S. Coast Guard informed Indian River County that the green # 1 Daybeacon on the Vero Isles Private Channel is missing. An unsuccessful attempt was made to locate this piling by County Staff. It appears a large vessel might have hit this piling and sheared it off. Florida Marine Contractors will replace and install a new 10" x 10" prestressed concrete piling and install the reflective signs at a cost of $700. Florida Marine would attempt to locate the missing piling and use the old signs or replace with new signs keeping the sheared off old piling if found. RECOMMEIDATIONS AND FUNDING 1. Authorize County staff to issue a notice -to -proceed to Florida Marine Contractors in the amount of $700 to replace the piling. 2. Funding to be transfered from Board of County Commission Contingency Acct # 001-199-513-99.91 (balance as of April 30, 1983 $233,546.00) to Other Re- creation Account #001-110-579-33.19. Public Works Director Davis.reported that he had a boat out searching for the lost piling but could not find it. It was not an exhaustive search, however. The Commissioners felt that it had to be replaced, and Mr. Davis noted that the contractor did indicate in his proposal that he would do an exhaustive search to recover the broken off signal. Commissioner Scurlock asked why this was coming out of the General Fund and Jim Davis replied that he did not make the funding recommendation. Administrator Wright suggested that the Board allow staff to handle this much like we do a routine maintenance matter such as a torn down stop sign, but not take the money 36
