| BACKGROUND: |
| On December 9, 2019, the shrimp boat “Bay Tiger” sank in Pensacola Bay. FWC Law Enforcement identified and cited the owner under section 823.11, F.S. The vessel was not removed within the allowed 21-day period by the owner. Escambia County Marine Resources Division (MRD) issued a Request for Price Quotes from vendors on December 19, 2019, and December 31, 2019. Escambia County MRD received five quotes for the removal of the vessel. The lowest price quote is $49,000 from Hondo Enterprises Inc., of DeFuniak Springs, Florida. MRD submitted a Grant Application under the bulk vessel removal program to FWC for this vessel for the price of $49,000. FWC Law Enforcement issued a Letter of Authorization on January 3, 2020, to Escambia County MRD for the removal and disposal of this derelict vessel. Due to the urgency of hazard to navigation this vessel presents, as well as the fact that the vessel is still leaking fuel, the Application will be considered under the Rapid Removal section of the Bulk Removal Program. This will allow FWC to issue a Purchase Order (in lieu of a Grant Agreement) to Escambia County within a week or less of submittal and approval of the project by FWC. The FWC has assured the County this project will move forward in a timely manner for rapid removal funding. |
