HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 03312015 - C.129RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute a contract with Sean Alexander Marine
Services in an amount not to exceed $300,000 to provide marine salvage services for the period June 1, 2015 through
May 31, 2017.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$300,000.00. Budgeted. Funded by the California Department of Boating and Waterways grant, Surrendered and
Abandoned Vessel Exchange (SAVE) and the General Fund.
BACKGROUND:
The waterways in and around Contra Costa County have long been used for the illegal dumping and sinking of
abandoned and derelict vessels of all sizes and types. If allowed to remain, these vessels are often hazards to safety,
navigation, wildlife, and are hazardous to the environment. Many vessels are carrying hazardous materials. The
vessels adversely impact residents, commercial, and recreational boaters in and around Contra Costa County.
The Office of the Sheriff's Marine Services Unit utilizes salvers who are specially trained, equipped, and capable of
removing the vessels that may be afloat, aground or submerged.
