AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a Resolution providing support for submission of a
grant application for funding from the Florida Boating Improvement Program (FBIP) and affirming
the County's ability to provide local match funding. This project is for the installation of a new
floating boat dock at Gulf View a/k/a Big Coppitt Barcelona Boat Ramp on Big Coppitt Key under
the Boating Access Facilities category of the grant.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission Florida Boating
Improvement Program ("FBIP") grant program provides annual grant funding for boating and
waterway projects under the categories of Boating Access Facilities, Derelict Vessel Removal,
Boater Education, and Other Local Boating Related Activities. Project Management proposes
submitting a FBIP grant application for installation of a new floating dock at the Gulf View a/k/a
Big Coppitt Barcelona boat ramp located in Big Coppitt Key under the "Boating Access Facilities"
category of the grant. The FBIP grant would provide the County with 75% funding and the County
would provide the 25% remaining matching funds for the project. This item is for approval of a
Resolution providing support for submission of the grant application for such funding from the FBIP
and affirming the County's ability to provide the local match funding. Project Management intends
to apply for an FBIP, which must be submitted by April 6, 2021, for FY2022 funding cycle. There is
no impact to the FY21 budget. The project is projected to cost$50,000. The proposed Resolution is
attached for approval and a letter for the Mayor to sign showing support for the project. A new
floating dock at this popular boat ramp will enhance the boating experience for not only locals, but
also visitors that utilize that area of the Florida Keys. Monroe County has received funding from
the FBIP program for other projects in the past.
