Bids for the replacement of A, B, C, D, and L piers are in, but we're waiting on a recommendation from Urban Engineering. The lowest bid is $18 million and the highest is just over $20 million. The Coopers Alley boater's facility and haul out facility design proposals will go to City Council on May 9th. Once it passes through council it could take 8-9 months to design both facilities. The 100% submittal for the Peoples Street boardwalk design is in progress. A change to Harrison's Landing's location may delay the boardwalk design. 3. 23-0615 Fuel Station RFP H.

We'll send out an email providing tenants with checklists and safety information. Staff will perform a practice run of putting the hurricane shutters up to make sure we have all equipment, and everyone knows what their role is. Mr. Murray asked if there is a vessel evacuation plan. Mr. Atwood advised we put our boat in the travel lift and park it in the Art Center parking lot. Most tenants leave their vessels in the water, tied securely. Mr. Dunlap asked what the requirements are for liveaboards during a storm. Mr. Atwood explained liveaboards are required to vacate their vessels during a storm, but it doesn't always end up happening. Most decisions are made 36 hours before landfall, as the storm develops. 5. 23-0716 Traffic Safety Mr. Atwood reminded the committee of the public comment from the April meeting where a tenant was dissatisfied with the traffic safety in the marina. A project with the DMD and Better Block has brought the Streets department's attention to the Peoples Street T-head. Mr. Atwood advised Streets to take a closer look at the amount of traffic Peoples Street receives and requested a traffic study. The department will look into installing speed bumps and more signage. There's a paving project scheduled for the end of the year for Peoples Street and Lawrence Street. 6. 23-0717 Downtown Management Presentation Ms. Mason shared a PowerPoint presentation regarding what the Downtown Management District is and what they do.
