PIER DECKING REPLACEMENT AT DINNER KEY MARINA
AGENDA SUMMARY ATTACHMENT
Background Information:
The City of Miami's Dinner Key Marina suffered extensive damage as a result of
Hurricane Wilma, particularly to its piers and docks. Approximately fifty-five percent of
the marina's eighteen year old, 49,538 total square feet of custom Ipe hardwood pier
decking was destroyed or lost from the storm, rendering the piers largely inaccessible and
impassable. City staff has undertaken emergency short-term repairs; however, the current
situation has resulted in a significant life and safety hazard for the marina's customers
and staff.
In lieu of replacing the existing Ipe lumber lost or damaged due to Hurricane Wilma at a
cost of approximately $16 per sq. ft., this cost does not factor in indirect costs of
construction of the decking sections and installation, it has been determined that
replacing the lumber with a more duarable, fiberglass decking would be cost beneficial to
the City. Through the assistance of the C.I.P. Department and Coastal Systems
International, Inc., an outside engineering consultant, the Department of Public Facilities
identified a high quality fiberglass decking alternative to the existing hardwood. At an
average price of $21.74 per s.f., we would be able to replace the entire marina's pier
decking for a cost not to exceed $1,129,466.40 including installation. The fiberglass
decking comes in easy to install prefabricated sections and is extremely durable.
To accomplish this, it is necessary to waive competitive sealed bids as provided under
City Code Section 18-89 and 18-90 and is consistent with Florida Statute 255.20 (1) (c)
(1) ), the provisions of this subsection are not applicable because the project is being
undertaken to repair an existing public facility that was damaged due to Hurricane
Wilma. The City Manager has made a written finding justifying the action.
