The Project’s purpose was to provide tidal barriers to the City-owned properties most vulnerable to tidal flooding, around the two man-made inlets known as North Lake and South Lake.
On September 21, 2022, the City Commission passed and adopted Resolution No. R-2022-281, authorizing the appropriate City officials to accept and execute FDEP Resilient Florida Grant (“Agreement No. 22FRP13”), and authorizing the required match amount to be paid from GO Bond funds.
FDEP requested updates to Agreement No. 22FRP13’s exhibits and attachments (“Amendment 1”), and the revised Grant Work Plan providing for the City to fund all design and construction administration costs which will count as grant match, with the City to fund construction costs not less than $12,204,935.00 and FDEP to fund construction costs up to $14,112,000.00.
