The Harbor Department's small-boat mooring-field contract was awarded to Rhode Island Mooring Service, Inc. for $24,000, and council approved ordinance amendments to establish vessel access rules and commercial dock permits for the city's marine terminal.

The council approved a $24,000 contract to Rhode Island Mooring Service, Inc. for construction and installation of a small-boat mooring field and also approved ordinance language that creates vessel-access rules and commercial dock permits for the city’s marine terminal.

The harbor department said the work is currently budgeted and will support improved mooring management; councilors voted in favor of both the contract and the ordinance changes without extended debate.

Next steps: the harbor master will implement permit rules and oversee installation with follow-up reports to council on mooring locations and permit processes.
