Commission to seek prices for dock carts; recommends buying seven and one outboard carrier
Summary
After reviewing models and space constraints, the commission agreed staff should get firm prices for seven dock carts and one outboard motor carrier, and consider donated carts and selling folding carts to tenants.
The Marine Advisory Commission directed staff to obtain firm prices for a mix of dock carts and one outboard-motor carrier, with an initial target of seven new dock carts, and to report back at a future meeting.
Commissioners reviewed vendor options and dimensions, noting that the most serviceable dock-cart model discussed has a 34-inch overall width while some docks provide only 28 inches of clearance adjacent to power pedestals. Staff suggested mixing cart sizes or removing meter housings to accommodate larger carts; commissioners asked staff to explore options.
Commissioners also discussed keeping some existing fiberglass carts in service, encouraging private donations of carts (several members volunteered possible donations), and selling foldable aluminum carts to tenants at a small markup as an additional option.
Staff said Fisheries Supply and other marine suppliers might provide discounts, and the commission authorized staff to compare vendor pricing and delivery options, then return with firm bids. The commission confirmed funds are available in the marina account for the initial purchase.
The commission did not take a formal purchasing vote at the meeting; it authorized staff to pursue pricing and procurement options and to coordinate with the short-term projects subcommittee.
