Page 2 <br />Completion of April/May 2022 Derelict Vessel Removal <br />June 7, 2022 BCC Meeting <br />$4,500.00. The County supported the removal of the vessel outside of grant reimbursement to <br />minimize impacts to the environment and improve boater safety. <br />Coastal Division Staff met with the team from Outlaw Maritime on April 12tt'to view the seven <br />(7) derelict vessels and establish a removal plan. At the time of viewing, the team was unable <br />to locate derelict vessel six (6). After communicating with FWC, it was determined derelict <br />vessel six (6) had been towed to St. Lucie County for removal by the vessel owner. <br />Outlaw Maritime began derelict vessel removal on April 12, 2022. The removal process was <br />completed on May 2, 2022. Six (6) vessels were removed from the water following Best <br />Management Practices set forth by FWC. The contractor disposed of the vessels at an <br />authorized landfill per Agreement 21255, providing the Countywith documentation of removal <br />and disposal. County staff are now completing the grant reimbursement request to seek <br />reimbursement for five (5) of the derelict vessels identified in the FWC Agreement 21255. <br />FUNDING <br />Reimbursement Grant funding was awarded to the County for the removal of the original six <br />(6) derelict vessels identified in the FWC Grant Application. One (1) of the identified vessels <br />had been removed by the owner prior to the County's April/May 2022 Derelict Vessel <br />removal event, therefore the County requested that FWC apply the unused grant funds to <br />cover the cost of removing derelict vessel seven (7). Since FWC grants are specifically issued <br />to cover identified vessels and cannot be transferred within the grant, the County's request <br />to receive reimbursement for the removal of Derelict Vessel seven (7) was denied. The <br />County has paid Outlaw Maritime for the removal of six (6) derelict vessels and is currently <br />seeking reimbursement in the amount of $29,600.00 from FWC for the removal of five (5) <br />vessels identified in Grant Agreement 21255. The removal and disposal costs associated <br />with the vessel not covered by the grant has been paid out of the Florida Boating Fund, <br />Other Contractual Services Account, Act # 13321072-033490 in the amount of $4,500. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />There is no BCC action needed under this Derelict Vessel Project update. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />IRC DV Removal Map <br />APPROVED AGENDA ITEM FOR JUNE 7, 2022 <br />F:\Public Works\COASTAL\OPERATIONAL\_Derelict_Vessel_Removal_Program\2022 Removals\2022_April 296 <br />Removals\Agendas <br />
