Contractor

Track Phase 1 boat ramp renovation bid package

Applies if: You perform ramp, dock, or shoreline construction work

Why now: Council passed the grant acceptance on second reading on 2026-08-11 (Enactment No. 033987), appropriating $249,990 with an $83,330 required match for Phase 1.

What to do: Watch for a solicitation for Phase 1 of the Packery Channel boat ramp renovation, which now has grant money appropriated. Size any bid against the combined funding of $249,990 in grant money and an $83,330 city cash match.

Act before: After the next material record update

Request match funding source for boat ramp renovation grant

Why now: The ordinance passed on consent on first reading (2026-07-28) and second reading (2026-08-11, Enactment No. 033987) with no recorded discussion, and it amends the FY 2026 Capital Budget while appropriating only $249,990 in the Parks & Recreation Grants Fund.

What to do: Ask the city which fund will cover the $83,330 cash match for the Packery Channel boat ramp grant, since the ordinance appropriates only the $249,990 grant. Without that answer, the public cannot tell whether the match comes from existing capital money or a new draw.
