Blanket purchase order for wet slip rental for DEP 000103289 27 1998 Munson Packman landing craft…

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection awarded a blanket purchase order to O'Neill's Marina for the rental of a 27-foot wet slip mooring facility supporting operations at Egmont Key Preserve State Park. The contract, designated C78841, was awarded on July 1, 2026, for a one-year term ending June 30, 2027. The total contract value is $4,422.60, representing the annual rental cost of $4,860.00 less a 9% advance payment discount of $437.40.

O'Neill's Marina will provide continuous wet slip rental services for the state agency's 1998 Munson Packman landing craft at a base rate of $15 per foot monthly ($405.00 for the 27-foot vessel). The contractor was selected based on its proximity to Egmont Key, which generates measurable savings in marine fuel expenses, and its ancillary capabilities including ethanol-free fuel availability and on-site repair and maintenance services. The contract authorized advance payment of the full annual amount in accordance with Florida Statute 215.422(15), which permits such arrangements when services are essential to agency operations and advance payment yields greater cost savings than investment income alternatives.
