The Board will present tenders for a 350-berth marina
|
Controversial proposals for a marina at a Guernsey harbour will come before the States at a meeting later this month.
The Board of Administration will present the tenders for the construction of a 350-berth marina at St Sampson's Harbour for approval in the March Billet.
The budget, initially approved by the States, was £1.75m, but problems with toxic sediments in the existing harbour meant this figure had to be increased by a further £1m.
The Board's preferred contractor is Miller and Baird, with a tender price of £2.95m.
The marina would use conventional pontoons and a single tide-operated gate.
The Board is also asking the States for another £280,000 for the reclamation of the area of land to the east of the Marine and General boatyard.
The proposals have the backing of the Advisory and Finance committee.
