The City of Suisun City Recreation, Parks and Marina Department (City) is issuing this Request

About Suisun City of Suisun
Located nearly halfway between San Francisco and Sacramento, Suisun City is a hidden gem of
the Bay Area. Suisun City is accessible from Interstate 80 via Highway 12 and Amtrak's Capitol
Corridor commuter rail stop at the Train Depot, right to the heart of the City's historic
Waterfront District, making it a prime location for job seekers as well as homeowners. The
community is a unique destination for a Bay Area day trip, an overnight getaway or a place to
work, particularly with its reverse commute for inner Bay Area residents.
Suisun City operates under the Council/Manager form of governance in which the electorate
chooses members of the City Council and the City Council hires the City Manager to implement
City Council policy and run day-to-day affairs. The Mayor and City Council are elected
independently in non-partisan elections to serve four-year terms in office. The Mayor Pro-Tem is
selected by the City Council from among its members.
1. PROJECT BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION
The Suisun City fishing dock project is a response to the community's long-standing concerns
about the current state of the fishing infrastructure. The existing fishing dock is in disrepair and
lacks accessibility, forcing anglers to fish off the Suisun Slough basin or adjacent sidewalks.
The proposed project will involve the planning and designs for a new 12-foot by 100-foot public
fishing dock on the Suisun Slough, located at 701 Civic Center Blvd., behind and north of Suisun
City Hall. The site is adjacent to an existing parking lot, providing convenient access for visitors.
The GPS coordinates for the location are Latitude 38.238837, Longitude -122.037499.
This project will not only offer a designated and safe space for fishing but also support tourism
and recreation within the community. The new fishing dock will serve as a hub for recreational
and educational activities, promoting environmental education and providing public access to the
Suisun Slough and Marsh areas.
The planning phase includes site analysis and assessment, determining general grades,
confirming utilities and drainage, assessing site conditions, conducting geotechnical and
topographic surveys, developing a schematic master plan with 3-dimensional or Virtual Reality
renderings, providing a detailed cost analysis for project implementation, and preparing 30 and
65 Percent Design Plan Documents.
All questions or requests for additional information must reference the above proposal name and
must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. on August 20, 2024 to: jhull@suisun.com
