Summary
The board approved a $42,500 contract with Shane Clark Marine and Budget Amendment No. 8.3 to replace the Grama Eagle dune walkover after inspections found termite damage to supporting joists.
The Nags Head Board of Commissioners on March 18 authorized a $42,500 construction contract with Shane Clark Marine and approved Budget Amendment No. 8.3 to fund replacement of the Grama Eagle dune walkover.
David, a town staff member, told commissioners that facilities maintenance inspections found pervasive termite damage to joists and other supporting members under the Grama Eagle Street beach access. "As you can see, we've got some termite infestation there, and has really eroded away that supporting framework," he said while sharing inspection photos.
David said the town solicited bids and received two responses; the low bid from Shane Clark Marine was $42,500. He requested authorization for the town manager to execute the construction contract and approval of Budget Amendment No. 8.3 to cover the replacement work.
Commissioners moved and approved the budget amendment and contract by voice vote with no recorded opposition. The board noted that other dune walkover replacements—Gulfstream Way and June Street—are either nearly complete or about to begin, and that available funds from competitive pricing on previous walkover projects made it feasible to add this replacement now.
The town said it will proceed to contract execution and construction scheduling. Further details on start date and exact scope were not specified at the meeting.
