SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a Non-Professional Services Agreement (NPSA) with Lind Marine, Inc. for removal and disposal of 15 Boats and Four (4) Boat Trailers from the San Leandro Marina for the maximum amount of compensation of $99,500.
BACKGROUND
Public Works has 15 abandoned and/or relinquished boats, and four boat trailers for disposal. On March 31, 2022, the Finance Department issued Bid No. 21-22.014 for the demolition and disposal of vessels at the San Leandro Marina. Lind Marine, Inc. was the only bidder with a total bid for $99,500. The cost includes all labor, materials, disposal, transportation, equipment, and staffing necessary to perform the work.
Lien proceedings commence when berth accounts are more than 90 days past due. After the City receives authorization for the lien, a public auction is scheduled. The boat owner must pay the balance owed to reclaim the vessel. Unsold vessels are submitted to the Surrendered and Abandoned Vessel Exchange (SAVE) Program for removal and disposal.
The SAVE Program formed by the State of California, Department of Parks and Recreation, Division of Boating and Waterways is an effort to address the problem of abandoned watercraft. The purpose of the program is to provide funds to local public agencies to remove, store, and dispose of abandoned, wrecked, or dismantled vessels or any other partially submerged objects that pose a substantial hazard to maritime navigation. Public Works is also able to accept aged vessels turned in by owners that no longer have means to properly care for their boats.
Analysis
The City was informed of the successful application and SAVE Grant award of $170,000 on September 10, 2021. In accordance with grant guidelines, a 10% local matching contribution is required for the SAVE Program. The contribution may be rendered in cash, or through in-kind contributions that must be verified and approved, all at the discretion of the Department of Boating and Waterways. The local matching contribution could include, but is not limited to, administrative costs, personnel hours, and removal costs. The City will contribute the 10% local matching contribution in administrative costs and personnel hours (overseeing contracts and preparing watercraft for towing, removal, and disposal). The cost to remove and dispose of the vessels ($99,500) will be fully reimbursed by the SAVE Grant. The 597 Shoreline Fund will bear the 10% local matching in-kind contribution.
Previous Actions
Resolution No. 2021-142 Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a $170,000 Surrendered and Abandoned Vessel Exchange (SAVE-21) Grant Agreement with the State of California, Department of Parks and Recreation, Division of Boating and Waterways for Abatement of Surrendered and Abandoned Watercraft at the San Leandro Marina and the San Leandro Shoreline.
Financial Impacts
This Shoreline Enterprise funded project will cost a not-to-exceed amount of $99,500. The project requires a reappropriation of $99,500 from the FY 2021-2022 to the FY 2022-2023 budget from Account 597-57-177-5890. This is a cost recoverable expense that will be reimbursed by the Surrendered and Abandoned Vessel Exchange (SAVE-21) Grant.
