Temporary Ferry Dock Installation – North Yacht Basin

The contract pertains to the installation and removal of a temporary floating ferry dock at the North Yacht Basin to support seasonal ferry services. Originally established under a prior turnkey agreement and US Army Corps of Engineers permit, the dock consists of a 1,600 square foot floating platform with an adjoining 300 square foot ramp securely attached to the seawall. This dock was seasonally installed and dismantled from 2016 through 2023, facilitating Cross Bay Ferry operations until service was relocated to Port St. Pete. The current solicitation, issued by the City of St. Petersburg's Transportation & Parking department, seeks to continue or update this service, with proposals due by late February 2026. Key contacts for procurement and transportation management are provided to assist in the submission and administration process. The underlying contractual framework for this and associated marine infrastructure work is governed by a master agreement for marine structures replacement and rehabilitation. This base contract defines a three-year initial term, extendable for two additional years, with a maximum annual budget cap of $7 million. It mandates the contractor to supply all necessary materials and services according to agreed specifications, incorporates public construction bond requirements, and establishes liquidated damages for project delays. Payment terms and other administrative regulations are detailed to ensure compliance and accountability throughout the contract’s duration. This comprehensive approach supports maintaining and upgrading marine infrastructure critical to the ferry service's operational needs.
