Project Details

  • Programmed funding: $500,529
  • Appropriated funding: $250,529
  • Project type: New facility construction/expansion

Description and Scope

This project funds the construction of a replacement beach maintenance yard at a new, larger site. The existing facilities are 40 years old and located amid residential development at 14th Street and Parks Avenue. 

The new facilities will include:

  • 50,000 square feet of space for workshops
  • Conditioned storage
  • Unconditioned storage
  • Equipment sheds 
  • Crew muster
  • Locker/restrooms
  • Offices

These facilities will be used by Public Works (Beach Operations, Traffic Operations, Street Sweeping, Parking Management, and Building Maintenance), Parks & Recreation/Landscape Services, and the Convention and Visitors Bureau. 

Additionally, the project will provide paved areas for equipment storage, bulk material storage, refueling/wash bays, and chemical material storage.

Purpose and Need

The Beach Maintenance Facility provides the needed infrastructure to support the work crews from various City departments assigned to maintain the resort area, boardwalk, and other related facilities. 

To adequately accommodate the operations of these City functions, about 13+/- acres will be required. The current site is about 1.7 acres, and is drastically undersized to meet the current demands. The buildings are old and deteriorating. 

Additionally, the current location is no longer compatible with the surrounding residential development.
