The Commission approved a grant from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to fund
engineering design and permitting work for six boat ramp projects from North Key Largo to Stock Island.
Since approval, staff has looked at additional sites and has added an additional boat ramp project to the list.
Staff would like to put this out for statements of qualification through the County's procurement process. The
attached Scope of Work outlines the individual boat ramp projects. Anticipated costs exceed $25,000. The
FWCC grant will provide adequate funds with a 25% match share from the Boating Improvement Fund (BIF) to
