to approve the application.
FENWICK ISLAND – October’s Town Council meeting ended with ongoing business as town management was instructed to apply for grant funds to conduct engineering on two stormwater projects and to re-bid the beach equipment rental service. Town Manager Merritt Burke announced it is time for the Town of Fenwick Island to apply for a DNREC Surface Water Matching Planning Grant to resolve flooding issues at two locations. The grant provides a max of $50,000 requiring a one-to-one cash match from the town, which received the same grant funds last year to conduct a stormwater drainage master survey. The idea here is DNREC would like the town government to use some of its money to build clean stormwater before it enters the bays, Burke said. In speaking with engineers, the town has worked with in the past, it is projected to cost about $30,000 to conduct engineering surveys on two locations with stormwater issues, West Dagsboro Street and Schultz Road, which are projects on the books to be conducted during this fiscal year. With the council’s approval, Burke would apply for the DNREC grant and write a Request For Proposal (RFP) for engineering surveys. The council voted unanimously
New Bids Eyed For Beach Rental Service
According to Burke, this past summer the council approved two beach service bids – Steen’s Beach Service for beach equipment rentals and Go Melvo for beach concessions. Both contracts were for one year with the option to renew for an additional year. At the end of the summer season, Burke received correspondence from Go Melvo, who provided snowballs at the State Line Beach, and wanted to renew the contract for the 2014 summer season at the previous bid price of $11,500. However, Steen’s declined the option to renew at the approved bid price of $13,212. The company stated interest in providing beach equipment rentals in Fenwick, but they simply paid too much last season. Although Burke had spoken to numerous interested beach rental concessions, Steen’s was the only bidder. “There might be interest out there in the market place or there may not be. We would have to re-bid it to find out,” Burke said. The council voted unanimously to accept Go Melvo Inc.’s request to continue its contract in 2014 at the State Line Beach and re-bid the beach rental concession to serve Lewes SEE NEXT PAGE
