Massachusetts city to begin $2 million waterfront work
The city of Beverly, Mass., selected two companies to complete $2 million worth of improvements to its waterfront property, including the city-owned marina, according to a Dec. 29 report from The Salem (Mass.) News.
For $1.78 million, Sea Shore Contracting of Randolph, Mass., will rebuild the seawall, demolish the city-owned building, and install new concrete floating docks at the marina.
Bellingham Marine of York, Pa., which turned in the lowest bid to the city, will build and deliver the concrete floats for $364,736. The 6,824-square-foot floating docks will include 24 slips and connect to part of an existing wooden floating dock to create a ferry landing, according to John Colonel, general manager of Bellingham.
Work is expected to begin mid-January, according to Mayor Bill Scanlon, and will be paid for with a $2.5 million state grant that the city received earlier this year.
Scanlon said the new concrete floats should be installed in time for the city-owned marina to open for boating season next year.
