FORT PIERCE HARBOR MAINTENANCE DREDGING, ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA
The project involves maintenance dredging of Fort Pierce Harbor, with excavated material placed on Fort Pierce Beach; because of extensive offshore hardbottom, offshore pipeline access is prohibited and beach fill will be offloaded inside the South Jetty of Fort Pierce Inlet.

Work also includes environmental and water quality monitoring, sea turtle trawl sweeping (hopper dredges only), screening, beach tilling, beach fill quality control, construction support, and vibration control and monitoring, divided into a base and two options. The target price range is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000. The contractor must commence within 60 calendar days after Notice to Proceed, be off the beach by 30 May 2027, and complete all work by 30 June 2027, with completion based on an assumed NTP by 10 December 2027 and subject to extension for certain NTP delays.
