Franklin
County Commissioners last week opened bids from several contractors
to relocate a portion of Gulf Shore Boulevard at Alligator Point.
About
800 feet of Gulf Shore Boulevard was washed out by Tropical Storm
Debby in 2012 and the county replaced it with a temporary unpaved
road.
That
was washed out in 2016 by Hurricane Hermine and replaced by another
unpaved temporary access road.
The
County now plans to relocate the road further from the Gulf to
hopefully protect it from future storms.
The
project will be funded mostly by FEMA, though the county will carry
some of the costs.
7
companies, most from Tallahassee, bid on the project.
The
bids ranged from 150 thousand dollars to 250 thousand dollars.
The
county's engineers will review the bids and give their recommendation
at a future meeting.
