Port of Coos Bay Selling Surplus Property

The Oregon International Port of Coos Bay is offering surplus property, including surplus concrete dock floats, for sale through a sealed bid process.

Sealed bids are due by 4 p.m., Tues., July 16, 2013, at the Charleston Marina office, 63534 Kingfisher Road.

Bids will be stamped in date/time order, and each float/section will be awarded to the highest bidder. Items are being sold as-is with no warranty. Floats can be viewed 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday by contacting the Marina at (541) 888-2548.

The port says that due to concerns about potential invasive species, floats are required to either remain docked within the Charleston area or be removed from the water for two weeks to allow adequate die off of possible invasive species, then be moved to the final destination.

All associated costs of removal, cleanup, storage and re-launching are the responsibility of the purchaser.

If the floats remain in the Charleston area, the purchaser is required to move the docks within five working days of the bid opening. Or, if the docks will be moved outside of the Charleston harbor, the purchaser is required to remove the floats from the water within five working days of the bid opening.

The floats must remain out of the water for two weeks and may be stored at current rates in the Charleston Shipyard. Purchasers will be required to move the docks within five working days once the dry-out period has ended.

A complete list of dimensions and purchasing requirements can be had by calling the Charleston Marina or visiting charlestonmarina.com.
