Project Update – October 2009

County staff and the project consultant (DMK Associates) presented the feasibility report, project design and cost estimates to property owners at a meeting in January 2005. The required number of petitions needed for the project to proceed was received by the county in April 2006. The project was authorized by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection in March 2008.

In March of 2008, the Sarasota County Commission instructed staff to complete one maintenance dredge construction project at a time. Therefore, projects have been prioritized based on the age of the project. Construction of the first project is anticipated to begin in the fall of 2009. The second construction project has been advertised and bids will be opened on October 14, 2009.

At a public hearing in February 2009, the commission instructed staff that the construction projects can be completed at a pace dictated by staff. The Neptune project is fifth on the list and at this time staff does not have an anticipated start date.
