BREMERTON YACHT CLUB MARINA INSPECTION

The Bremerton Yacht Club reached out to Art Anderson to provide an independent evaluation of their marina. They intend to have a stronger emphasis on upkeep and replacing as needed to get the maximum service life possible out of the existing facilities and wanted an evaluation of their existing facilities. Their previous report was done in 2009 and. recommended a full replacement. The Bremerton Yacht Club wanted to see if full replacement was still the recommendation.

Art Anderson professionals carried out an extensive inspection of the marina, including an evaluation of the supporting utilities to and appurtenances on the float systems. Overall, the condition of the entire marina is good and the maintenance level of care is very high. Lifecycle determinations are made based on a projection of when it will become less cost effective to continue repairing floats and connections than to replace them.

Three alternatives were offered to assist with immediate improvements to the lifecycle of the marina as a whole:

• Alternative 1: Re-Position the A Line (North) Walkway Float System – Relative order of magnitude construction cost estimate: $108,000
• Alternative 2: Install a New North Breakwater – Relative order of magnitude construction cost estimate: $450,000
• Alternative 3: Upgrade the A-String (North) Walkway Float System with wider and/or deeper floats – Relative order of magnitude construction cost estimate: $300,000-700,000

The Yacht Club management elected to pursue alternative three.
