San Mateo County Harbor District, Dornbusch Associates, San Mateo County, California

BLUEWater Design Group teamed with Dornbusch Associates to prepare a business plan for the SMCHD properties, which included Pillar Point Marina and Oyster Point Marina. The business plan included a detailed assessment of the marinas and the improvements that are the responsibility of the Harbor District. After completing the physical evaluations, life cycle analyses were completed to identify the long-termmaintenance and income projections. The business plan was accepted by the Harbor District Board or Directors and submitted to California Department of Boating and Waterways for restructuring their debts.

Peter Grenell, SMCHD General Manager, wrote in a letter to David Dornbusch:

“I want to commend you, your staff, and your consulting team on your excellent efforts in carrying out this challenging task. We are most pleased, not only with the high quality of your work, but with your timely responsiveness to our changing needs as they evolved during the course of our dialogue with our companion ‘client,’ the Department of Boating and Waterways about plan parameters and content. Well done."
