County commissioners opened bids
last week to repair about 1000 feet of revetment at Alligator Point but because
the issue is under litigation it could be a while before any work gets done.
The section of revetment is east
of Tom Roberts
Road
So instead the county will repair
the revetment by removing the existing concrete rubble and debris and replacing
it with clean granite rock.
The county would have liked to
place sheet pile along that section of shoreline to better protect the roadway,
but doesn’t have the money for that type of work.
The project is being funded
through money received from FEMA after Tropical Storm Debbie.
4 companies bid for the job, the
bids ranged from 74 thousand dollars to over 164 thousand.
County staff will recommend the
best bid at a future commission meeting, but the work could still be months
away because of a lawsuit over the revetment project.
