The Town of Wareham has awarded the bid to rebuild the Onset Boat Ramp, which will expand the ramp to 16 feet wide and 104 feet long when the work is done.

Key Corporation of Kingstown Rhode Island submitted the lowest bid at $156,000 out of four received in mid-August. The boat ramp is located off of East Boulevard in Onset, on Broad Cove.

Harbormaster Garry Buckminster said all of the companies that submitted bids were reviewed and Key Corporation was selected after a reference check.

Other bids submitted totaled $184,475, $352,900 and $359,490.

Funds for the reconstruction are available through a $100,000 Community Preservation Act grant. The Bouchard Transportation Trustee Council awarded $67,500 for the project. That council is responsible for Buzzards Bay remediation efforts following an oil spill in 2003.
