Bimini Basin Mooring Field Project

Scope of work:
This project includes all of the design and permitting required to construct a 15-buoy mooring field in the Bimini Basin at Four Freedoms Park.  Additional infrastructure includes the removal and replacement of the existing park seawall, a dinghy dock, a modular building (e.g., public and private restrooms, a shower, a laundry room, and a storage room), a pump out station, a Captain’s walk, and connecting sidewalks. 

Once the design and permitting are finalized, the City hopes to enter into a public-private partnership (P3) with a local developer, who will construct and manage this project in the best interests of transient boaters, the public, and the City.


Proposed layout of the mooring field


Timeline:
As of September 2023, the City is negotiating the scope of work and associated fees with a highly qualified engineering consultant.  The consultant will proceed accordingly once the negotiations and associated paperwork are finalized.

Estimated date of completion of design and permitting: TBD
