3.  Permits Received on Sheffield Street Dock and Ferry Road Dock
a. Ferry Road Dock

Keith Neilson was at the meeting and briefed the Commission on the status of the permits on Ferry Road. One permit to rebuild the dock within the existing footprint of the existing dock has been issued by the DEEP. This permit will serve as the building block for the expansion of the Ferry Road Dock. Another permit for an eight slip expansion of the dock has been submitted to the DEEP and a reasonable forecasted time period for the DEEP to issue the permit is December 2017 to February 2018.  The permit was based on the maximum expansion of the dock but the project can be reduced to fewer additional docks depending on a number of factors including bid prices. A preliminary time period for the project is as follows:

  • Continue with the permit process
  • Obtain zoning approval
  • Obtain DEEP permit (Dec 2017 to Feb 2018)
Solicit bids for scalable project scope (Feb 2018)
Mobilize contractor (March 2018)
2 month project duration (March 2018 – April 2018)

We will attempt to get zoning approval on or before the next scheduled meeting.

b. Sheffield Street Dock

The DEEP permit for the Sheffield Street dock modification has been issued by the DEEP. Modifications will be performed after completion of the Ferry Road Project. Plans for the project were circulated. Detailed construction drawings showing the detailed project features will still need to be developed.   

4.  Adjournment

A motion to adjourn was made at 8:15 pm. by Mr. Murphy, seconded by Mr. Connolly and the motion was so VOTED unanimously.
