The Town of Bristol owns and operates the Church Street Marina located in Bristol Harbor. The Town retained Pare to design a marina expansion to provide additional resident dockage and to accommodate more visiting boaters, as well as an offsite fueling facility at the State Street Dock.

Evaluations and design included a review of parking needs, recommended repairs for an existing revetment located along the shoreline, and updates to the existing “Manny Sousa Park” to the west of the Maritime Center. The marina expansion created an additional 83 dedicated boat slips and nearly 300 linear feet of additional dockage. The new docks are provided with freshwater service, electrical pedestals, and fire suppression. The expansion also brought the marina into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The new fueling facility includes a 12,000 gallon above-ground storage tank to store both gasoline and diesel. Vessels can dock at the newly constructed floating dock located along the south face of the pier for fueling.

Pare provided assistance for State and Federal permitting and coordinated with both CRMC and USACOE to address shell fishing concerns.
