SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Idaho Parks and Recreation Department (IDPR) administers the Waterways Improvement Fund (WIF) program. Funded by state gas tax revenues, WIF grants support waterways improvements
for boating purposes such as public boat ramps and moorings.
The McCall Parks and Recreation Department would like to apply for $173,705 in WIF funding to improve the public boat launch and mooring docks at Legacy Park, specifically to:
Re-grade the lakebed at the toe and edges of the existing concrete boat ramp and replace fine sedimentary material with course interlocking rock to mitigate prop wash, sediment transport,
and lock in existing concrete panels across the toe of the boat ramp; and
Replace the two (6’ x 64’) aged existing docks at public ramp with new wider docks and extend the south dock by an additional 24’ section to increase moorage capacity at ramp. The older
docks will be repurposed to update moorage used by the County Marine Deputies to the south.
Install a lateral extension dock along shore off the southern ramp dock and add an additional 80’ finger to increase short-term moorage at boat ramp.
The total project cost is estimated at $218,705. Valley County Waterways Committee has committed $30,000 to the project and $15,000 from the City of McCall Parks and Recreation Department
FY22 budget will be used, surpassing the minimum 5% grant match requirement.
An exhibit illustrating the project scope of work is attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve submittal of a Waterways Improvement Fund application and authorize Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
