Marine Vessel Update
Fiscal Year 2026 Request
Hull Repair:
The bottom paint is scheduled to be stripped to bare metal, prepped and painted. Over time since
2011, the barrier has worn in some areas and is not holding paint well. In other areas, the paint is
uneven. The waterline on the vessel was not properly painted and will be raised as well. The vinyl boot
stripe along the waterline and vinyl “racing stripe” in the bow will be replaced.
Cost at time of request: $16,600.18
Electronics Update:
This project will update the aging port side chart plotter to match the Raymarine Axiom on the
starboard side. This will allow both units to work together as currently only one side has infrared
capabilities.
The aging Raymarine thermal camera will be replaced with a Flir thermal imaging camera specifically
designed for law enforcement search and rescue operations and to assist in safe operation and
navigation.
This project will replace the current Automatic Identification System providing capabilities to send
messages, route and search information back and forth between vessels involved in a search and rescue
mission. AIS is integrated with the chart plotters to identify other vessels and their locations, speed and
heading.
Cost at time of request: $34,359.47
interior Decking Repair:
Both the pilot house and the forward deck have areas of substantial paint chipping. The rubber matting
in the pilot house is worn and past its useful life. The Aquatration deck material is a long lasting material
that is more durable and cost effective then continuing to prep, paint and add non-skid applications to
these areas.
Cost at time of request: $3,800.00

Vinyl Lettering Replacement:
This project will replace the cracked and worn “POLICE” lettering on the topside of the pilot house. It
will replace the faded and worn “POLICE” decals on the bow, “DHS” and “MARINE PATROL” decals on
both the port and starboard bow.
Cost at time of request: $1,765.00
Total cost of project: $56,524.65
Waterford share of project: $31,089 ($28,262.32 in costs and $2,826.00 in contingency)
