Boat Ramp System *Sole Source*

County natural resources division administers a new installation and replacement boat ramp program for boating access in county lakes. Typically, the county installs or replaces two ramps annually via this program. The boat ramp system that best suits our program contains the following: utilizes solid reinforced concrete slabs and footers designed to accommodate medium sized construction equipment over the full length of the ramp for future maintenance. The concrete slabs and footers should be designed to support boat launching and maintenance independent of existing soil conditions and erosion/scouring which is typically associated with boat power loading. The system should be adaptable to any site conditions/facility design configuration. No dewatering, coffer dams or well points should be required for installation of the system. The system must include all design/engineering to meet permitting requirements.
