Kafer, Jr., P.E., County Engine r' <br /> FROM: Michael D. Nixon, P.E., Roadway Production Manager <br /> SUBJECT: Florida Inland Navigation District FY 2013 Waterways Assistance Program <br /> Authorizing Resolution for the Oslo Boat Ramp Improvements <br /> DATE: February 22, 2013 <br /> DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br /> The Oslo Boat Ramp is located at the east terminus of Oslo Road in south Indian River County. <br /> Historically since the 1900's, boaters have used the site to launch their boats, although no areas <br /> were formally designated for parking. Boat owners have simply parked their vehicles/boat trailers <br /> along the unpaved portion of Oslo Road. Through the years the channel adjacent to the boat ramp <br /> has filled in with sediment from stormwater runoff which flows east from the unpaved Oslo Road. <br /> In 2009 the Oslo Boat Ramp was reconstructed and a new concrete boat ramp was installed. To <br /> facilitate the new boat ramp, staff proposed a new project which will include paved boat trailer <br /> and vehicular parking, dredging of the channel directly adjacent to the boat ramp,additional dock <br /> space, additional channel markers and the paving of the dirt portion of Oslo Road serving as the <br /> entrance road to the boat ramp facility. <br /> Indian River County is applying for a Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) FY 2013 Waterways <br /> Assistance Program matching grant for the Oslo Boat Ramp improvements.The total cost of this <br /> project is estimated to be $900,000.00. The FIND funding request is $437,500.00, which is <br /> approximately 48.6%of the total cost. Matching funds will come from Indian River County in the <br /> amount of$462,500.00. <br /> FUNDING <br /> The Florida Inland Navigation District funds proposed to be appropriated for this project are <br /> $437,500.00. <br /> Matching funding for the project is available in Recreation Impact Fees, Account Number <br /> 10321072-066510-03017 ($262,500.00) Oslo Road Boat Ramp and from the Florida Boating <br /> Improvement Fund, Account Number 13321072-066510-03017 ($200,000.00) Oslo Road Boat <br /> Ramp for a total of$462,500.00. <br /> F:\Public Works\ENGINEERING DIVISION PROJECTS\0381B-OSLO BOAT RAMP Phase II\Admim\agenda items\Agenda's 6 3 <br /> Contracts\BCC Agenda FIND Resolution 3-5-13.doc <br />
