We most recently evaluated all of the City's 23 publically owned riverfront parks and parcels for protection from storm damage and for potential improvement. These project sites included seawall assessment, environmental assessment, surveying, stormwater outfalls repair, rock revetment design, and creation of better public access. In addition, the City has re-engineered a boat ramp access dockage by converting to a fix-floating 010 system to counter tidal impacts on public safety, brought a stormwater pond into compliance by reconstructing a park stormwater pond, adding additional shoreline armoring using a rock revetment at our public boat launch facility, and public restroom replacement. We have also currently completed the design and permitting work to construct an ADA accessible kayak and public viewing pier system at Russell Property. . I have had the pleasure of working with Dredging and Marine Consultants and Mr. Shailesh K. Patel, as Project Manager, and his staff through all these projects. DMC has assisted the City with initial assessment of the site, project engineering, and construction estimating, which was used to secure match funding for all these projects. DMC completed all engineering, design options, permitting, technical specifications, bid preparation, bidding process, bid review. construction inspection, permit compliance monitoring and reporting, and final project and funding closeout. Mr. Patel and DMC's staff have provided all aspects of the project work including consistent project status reports, attending City Commission meeting for updates when required, addressed public concerns and have managed all our projects within budget and time. Their specialization in park projects has made them a valued asset to our City over the last eight years. Should you have any further questions, please call me any time at (386)506-5852. Respectfully, x Susan L. Lovallo, CPRP Director of Parks& Recreation Growing In Beauty and Opportunity"
