CRA approves base bid to demolish Steamboat Landing structure; options for dock removal remain negotiable
Summary
The CRA voted to fund demolition of the Steamboat Landing building to slab with a base award of $166,860; optional dock removal ($27,225) and full slab removal ($24,225) were presented as add‑alternates; board approved the base demo and allowed negotiation of optional work with other funding sources.
The Fort Walton Beach CRA approved a base contract to demolish the former Steamboat Landing structure to slab on June 23, authorizing a $166,860 base bid. Staff had received multiple bids; the lowest responsive total package that included optional dock and slab removal was $218,310, while the base building demolition bid alone was $166,860.
Alicia summarized the bid elements: base demolition (building to slab, debris removal, pool removal, landscaping/clearing) priced at $166,860; an optional dock removal priced at $27,225; and optional full slab removal at $24,225. Staff recommended awarding the base demolition and treating options as negotiable add‑alternates.
Board members discussed whether to include dock removal now or require the buyer/other parties to fund that component; the board approved the base demolition amount and indicated staff could ask interested parties to pay for optional dock removal rather than CRA funds. The motion to fund the base demolition passed unanimously.
Next steps: staff will execute the demolition contract for the base scope; optional work will be negotiated separately and may be funded by other parties if they choose to piggyback on the demolition work.
