Memorandum 15-058

 

TO:                       Mary K. Koester, City Manager

FROM:                 Carey Meyer, Public Works Director

DATE:                  April 22, 2015

SUBJECT:         Spit Camp Fee Collection Building

 

 

Again this winter, the Parks Department’s campground fee collection building was damaged by storms. Again, significant erosion completely undermined the structure. In addition the piling supporting the building no longer provides adequate support. See attached photo.

 

Public Work is considering several options (currently Option 3 preferred):

 

Repair –  Public Works could add support to the piling and place dredge spoils under and around the structure. This is what Public Works has been doing every yearto return the facility to a safe condition. Cost - $1,000 in pile support repair materials; 100 CY of dredge spoils imported ($8,000) including City labor and equipment. Total Cost = $9,000.

 

Advantages: Small capital expense.

Disadvantage: We will have to do it again next year.

 

Move Building to New Site Across the Road – Building could be moved to the Pier 1 theater site (away from further erosion impacts). Cost – Mobilize Crane, lift onto trailer, move across street, set on new foundation ($12,000 for move, $6,000 for foundation). Extend power and telephone; maybe water and sewer ($20,000). Total Cost = $38,000.

 

Advantages: Continues use of facility without yearly erosion repair.

Disadvantage: Significant cost

 

Surplus the Building, Purchase/Build Movable Trailer – Sell the building and have it removed from the site. Purchase/build a small fee collection trailer for use at Mariner Park (in conformance with the Mariner Park Flood Plain permanent structure elevation restrictions). Cost - Sell building (+$5,000); Obtain trailer w/ generator ($15,000). Total Cost = $10,000.

 

                              Advantages: fee collection bldg could be located at Mariner Park. One time expense.

        Disadvantage: No permanent structure, Change in fee collection location.
