AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Approval to submit two grant proposals to the FWC, Florida Boating Improvement Grant Program (FBIP)
grant program for funds to complete boat ramp repairs at the Aviation Blvd ramp in Marathon and the
Barcelona Ave. ramp in Big Coppitt.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The Florida Boating Improvement Grant program provides funding for construction projects to make
improvements for water dependent activities. The program does not require a match, but does rank applications
based on local government willingness to provide a match. Weare proposing a 25% match utilizing the
County's Boating Improvement Fund. Many of the ramps in the County are in need of repair and upgrade.
With these funds we will complete construction on two ramps in Monroe County, based on the readiness of
these projects for bid. They will include the ramp on Aviation Blvd. Near Dodge Lake and the ramp on
Barcelona Ave. on Big Coppitt. The grant request is for approximately $100,000. The County will match with
approximately $25,000 in BIF funds. A grant agreement with the City is required to submit an application on
their behalf. Cities and municipalities must submit through the representative County in this grant program.
This is provided as a separate item.
